Chapter 191: Chapter 190: This Year’s Secret Realm Experience is Out of the Ordinary

Lord Xiaoyuan nodded subtly.

Although this junior disciple had just taken advantage of his fellow Sect members, it was also true that he had confronted high-level Demonic Beasts. Using his Divine Sense to sweep the vicinity, he instantly sensed that some people were watching from not too far away.

These observers were all geniuses from various Sects, including disciples from the Sword Sect.

Merely watching from the shadows, they had never offered their help?

Lord Xiaoyuan felt somewhat disappointed inside.

To be considered geniuses of various Sects, yet proving to be of little use in a crisis, they were inferior to the three disciples before him—at least those had the courage to confront high-level Demonic Beasts!

Next, Lord Xiaoyuan released a wisp of Divinity Transformation pressure.

Dadiao, terrified to the extreme, no longer entangled with Dashan, turned its head and fled for its life at great speed, showing none of its previous lethargy!

In the face of the threat of death, not just humans, but Demonic Beasts too, could burst forth with inconceivable strength.

Dashan wanted to pursue Dadiao but was stopped by Xie Jiu’s mother.

The scene of the fight was in complete disarray.

Sect disciples from the Youjian Sect hurried over, bowing to Lord Xiaoyuan.

Among them were Su Songting and Nangong Qi. Lord Xiaoyuan’s expression was frosty, "The exit of the Secret Realm has opened. Let the disciples leave quickly and not linger here any longer."

"Yes, Lord," they replied.

The Sword Sect disciples began to walk toward the Stone Platform.

Some disciples from other Sects had already drawn near the Stone Platform amidst the fighting, rapidly ascended it, disregarding the filth atop and vanished from the Secret Realm with a flash.

Xie Jiu’s mother and Xuanyuan You were thinking of sneaking away quietly.

However, trailing behind them was an adult Spiritual Monkey.

Atop the Spiritual Monkey’s head there crouched a Little Golden Monkey, and on its shoulder, a Water Kirin lay sprawled.

Indeed, they were extremely conspicuous; wherever they went, they attracted attention. It was impossible to stay low-key, especially after the recent battle with Dadiao that many disciples had witnessed.

Xuanyuan You quietly sent a message, "Little Profiteer, Dadiao was already at the end of its strength; why didn’t you let Dashan pursue it?"

"The Secret Realm has opened. It’s more important to get out," was the reply.

"That’s true. You’ve already made Dadiao suffer enough..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jiu’s mother earned a roll of eyes for Xuanyuan You’s words.

Xie Jiu’s mother had thought about the egg they had left behind, offering it at least a chance of survival.

The closer they got to the Stone Platform, the more the stench filled the air, no different from stepping into a dung pit.

Xie Haoran and Xie Ying, among others, were ahead.

They could stand near the Stone Platform without changing countenance, most likely having sealed their senses with Spiritual Power.

Concerned, Xie Haoran asked, "Xiaojiu, you’re not injured, are you?"

"No, thank you for your concern, elder brother," replied Xie Jiu’s mother politely.

Xie Haoran awkwardly explained, "I gave them your letter, but though they agreed to help, no one was willing to take the lead. I was injured and couldn’t help you. I’m sorry."

"I understand. Elder brother, let’s talk more after we leave the Secret Realm," said Xie Jiu’s mother.

"All right," Xie Haoran said, moved and feeling guilty.

He had less authority than Lin Wangchen at Fafeng and far less prestige among the Sect Disciples.

Lin Wangchen, severely injured, could not intervene, and nobody questioned it. The only one who could have helped was Ren Bingyan. When Xie Haoran asked for assistance, Ren Bingyan said to observe first and would step in if necessary.

His own Sect Disciples did not step forward to help.

Disciples from other Sects were even less likely to step up.

Some took the opportunity to escape the Secret Realm, without any intention of offering help. Xie Haoran wanted to lend assistance but was powerless, only able to worry. To stand up at that moment would not only be unhelpful but could become a burden.

The Water Kirin, upon receiving its master’s instruction, quickly leaped into Xie Ying’s arms.

Seeing the Water Kirin return, Xie Ying became excited, "Xiaoshui, you’re back?"

"I’m back, let’s hurry out of the Secret Realm," said the Water Kirin in its childlike voice.

Xie Ying put it into the Spiritual Beast Bag.

Then everyone flew together onto the large stone platform.

Xie Jiuniang only felt a flash before her eyes, and the environment around her had already changed; she had finally left the Secret Realm. She could finally relax the nerves she had been tensing all along, and then, she opened her sealed senses.

Suddenly, a stench assaulted her nostrils.

"Ugh—"

Someone beside her vomited—it was that bastard Xuanyuan You.

They had been in a rush to get out and didn’t realize until now that the smell was too overwhelming. Both of them quickly moved farther away from the exit of the Secret Realm, and the Dust Cleansing Technique was pinched out over and over.

Lord Guangcheng picked up Xuanyuan You.

His gaze fell on Xie Jiuniang next to him, and he conveniently decided to take her along as well.

"Squeak squeak?"

Dashan, in his anxiety, called out and stopped Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang quickly said, "Lord Guangcheng, that Spiritual Monkey is also ours; don’t leave it behind."

Lord Guangcheng’s eyelid twitched, and he also picked up the large and small Spiritual Monkeys.

When they landed on their feet again, they were on the Flying Boat.

Both of them were so exhausted that they slumped onto the deck of the Flying Boat.

Dashan and Xiaojin squatted beside the two, very quiet.

"This has really worn me out; this is no way for a person to live," Xie Jiuniang wiped away non-existent sweat.

Xuanyuan You deeply agreed.

They had finally made it out safely, and they were alive.

The two ignored the gazes of their Sect Disciples on the Flying Boat.

But Xie Jiuniang vaguely felt she had forgotten something, and asked uncertainly, "Xuanyuan, did we leave anything behind?"

"Oh no, what about Senior Sister Xing Luan?" Xuanyuan You exclaimed.

"Hehe, you finally remember me. I thought you’d forgotten about me long ago," Xing Luan stood behind them with her arms crossed, smiling in a way that wasn’t quite a smile at the two, "you two little ungrateful wretches."

Xie Jiuniang chuckled hehe and didn’t reply.

Xuanyuan You feigned ignorance, scratching the back of his head, "There was so much going on, I forgot for a moment, sorry, sorry."

After catching their breath, the two leaned over the railing on the deck of the Flying Boat to look out. Sect Disciples were still coming out of the exit of the Secret Realm.

Every one of them looked disheveled and also carried a smell.

The Divinity Transformation powerhouses guarding the outside to maintain the stability of the Secret Realm entrance had already sealed their senses, looking even colder than usual.

Xie Jiuniang sympathized with the powerhouses for a moment, then chuckled, "This year’s experience in the Secret Realm is really quite special."

"Yes, it is unprecedented and unforgettable," Xuanyuan You laughed slyly.

Xie Jiuniang quickly noticed another problem, "Why does every disciple coming out give us a stare?"

"Probably adoring the two of us."

"Could be, you do think faster..."

"Of course, my ancestor always said I’ve been clever since a young age."

Lord Guangcheng’s Divine Sense enveloped the Flying Boat, and his expression was indescribable upon hearing the two small ones’ conversation.

When had he ever said that?

Having already understood what happened inside the Secret Realm and having promptly received reports about the cause from some of the Disciples who came out, Lord Guangcheng had a faint hunch.

It’s very likely that the two troublemakers had something to do with it.

Otherwise, why would they take the initiative to shoulder the responsibility and risk chasing off the Dadiao?

Putting aside what his own child was like, based on what he knew about Chaoyan’s disciple, she was someone who wouldn’t get out of bed for nothing; if the Dadiao incident had nothing to do with her, it’s very likely she wouldn’t have bothered taking action...
