Chapter 2217: Chapter 2237: Uninvited Guests, Coming Unannounced_1

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

With the bells tolling throughout the sect, countless disciples from Qingyuan City converged on the massive square in front of the mountain gate.

Lin Chen and Bai Yunfei mixed in with the crowd, responding with smiles to greetings from others yet engaged in little conversation.

With the expedition imminent, the majority were quite excited, as exploring such undeveloped Secret Realms provided many opportunities to acquire valuable items—items that were difficult to obtain with their strength in the outside world.

If luck was on their side and they obtained high-level valuable items, by turning them over to the sect, they could exchange them for a huge amount of cultivation resources, or even some special objects to aid their cultivation, enhancing their strength or even their realm.

Certainly, there were risks, but what venture is without risk?

Cultivation was inherently a venture filled with great risks; how many have turned to ashes in the Breaking the Realm’s Thunder Tribulation?

If you want to stand out, how could you not put your life on the line?

City Lord Zhang Tianling of Qingyuan City flew out from the Sect Hall, delivering a speech that bolstered morale, followed by the Hall Master of Zhanwu Hall announcing the rules for the adventure, which mainly included that sect disciples must unite, forbidding infighting and plundering; if discovered, they discussed the consequent punishments.

After the rules were announced, the Hall Master declared the special reward policy for this adventure, which included detailed rewards for obtaining the Void Lotus Herb and Yin-Yang Spring, similar to what Qi Bingbing had mentioned before. Essentially, as long as you can acquire these two items, you can earn rich rewards. Other items, once surrendered, would be evaluated and the sect would give generous points in return, which disciples could then use to exchange for items they needed.

Even after joining a sect, the cultivation resources that a cultivator receives each month are extremely limited, so if you want more resources, you have to work hard to earn them.

Hearing such rewards, the eyes of many disciples reddened with eagerness.

What is a leap to the heavens?

This is a leap to the heavens!

With just a bit of luck, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, or even apprenticing under a Da Luo Venerable, was within reach!

For a moment, all disciples were thrilled and couldn’t wait to rush into the Secret Realm to start scavenging.

Qingyuan City obviously placed great importance on this expedition, with Sect Master Zhang Tianling personally leading the way, boarding several gigantic flying boats, heading towards the Secret Realm.

Traveling by boat for several days, they finally reached their destination.

Among the Mountains, shrouded in white mist, there lay a colossal Light Door radiating light—this was a Teleportation Gate brutally constructed by a Great Power of space using Space Supernatural abilities.

The flying boats descended, and all disciples disembarked, waiting quietly for instructions.

Zhang Tianling conversed in low tones with the Elders guarding this place, inquiring about recent happenings here, but then, from a distance, more than a dozen huge boats appeared and swiftly made their way toward them.

"Sect Master, flying boats!"

Zhang Tianling’s expression darkened as he leaped into the air, his face turning ashen as he eyed the approaching flying boats.

From the flags flown on the approaching fleet, he had already discerned their identity—aside from Lingmiao Mountain and Baique Sect, who else could it be?

He had wanted to delay them by talking, yet they also arrived right on time, clearly the work of insiders.

With a stern face, Zhang Tianling flew up and stood atop a mountain peak.

The fleet swiftly approached and then stopped in front of Zhang Tianling, lining up in a single row: the flying boats on the left belonged to Lingmiao Mountain while those on the right were Baique Sect’s.

"Lord Zhang, long time no see, how have you been, hahaha!"

With a bold and triumphant laugh, a burly figure rose from a Lingmiao Mountain flying boat—it was Zhao Shirong, the Mountain Master of Lingmiao Mountain. Simultaneously, a graceful figure also flew up from another boat, a charming middle-aged beautiful woman, none other than Qi Huayu, the Sect Master of Baique Sect.

With a cold face, Zhang Tianling said, "Zhao Shirong, Qi Huayu, what is the meaning of the two of you coming here together?"

Baique Sect’s Qi Huayu smiled faintly, "Lord Zhang, you’re playing dumb. We’re here, naturally, to offer some help with exploring the Secret Realm. After all, the Secret Realm is vast and your Qingyuan City alone may not be able to explore it all, right?"

Zhang Tianling sneered, "This Secret Realm was discovered by us, and only after expending various resources and finally constructing the Teleportation Gate were we able to establish the passage. We have the full capability to explore the Secret Realm, so we won’t bother you with that."

Lingmiao Mountain’s Zhao Shirong smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, talking like that, you’re treating us too much like outsiders. We all know that your sect has already lost several Daluo Mysterious Immortals during the exploration of the Secret Realm, indicating you need help."

Zhang Tianling’s expression remained cold, "What if I insist that we don’t need help?"

Zhao Shirong sighed, "This Secret Realm is also within the influence range of both our Lingmiao Mountain and Baique Sect. To be frank, we had detected this Secret Realm a long time ago, but we were preparing and were beaten to it by your Qingyuan City. Now you want to monopolize it; I’m afraid Lingmiao Mountain and Baique Sect are not willing to agree..."
