Chapter 1549: Chapter 1545: The Mask That Can’t Be Removed! (Four updates!)

Ren Feifan distinctly felt as if the eye at the very center of the mask had suddenly opened!

It was as though a dormant power within him had erupted all at once!

"Boom!" A feral energy shot out from that eye abruptly!

It annihilated all in its path.

It was apocalyptic.

It struck directly upon the ground!

The earth shook violently, the entire world seemed on the verge of collapse, billows of dust rose! The Royal Family Auction House teetered on the brink of falling!

Ren Feifan was shocked, he had not expected the eye on the mask to possess such terrifying power!

He hadn’t done anything at all!

But he could already feel that the entire Royal Family Auction House had begun to tilt.

As if the next second, it would bury him within.

Princess Lingxia and the others, including Mr. Jing Shui, instinctively sensed that something was amiss and retreated toward the exit.

By the doorway, Mr. Jing Shui’s eyes narrowed, he coldly said, "The two of you must leave immediately, this place will turn to ruins before long!"

Princess Lingxia looked pale as she glanced inwardly, "But Ren Feifan is still in there, what if..."

Mr. Jing Shui glanced towards where Ren Feifan was, his tone flat, "Don’t worry, even if everyone in the world dies, that kid won’t! Oh no, it’s starting to collapse! Run!"

As his words fell, three streaks of light flashed by, and the three of them had vanished within the Royal Family Auction House.

And with a "rumble!", the auction house collapsed into ruins!

Dust billowed, the whole world seemed to shake!

An ancient building with nearly seven hundred years of history had completely collapsed!

The cultivators who had not yet left all opened their mouths in shock, growing curious about what had happened inside.

Could it be that Mr. Jing Shui had gone on a rampage within?

Indeed, that was possible!

Within a hundred miles, only Mr. Jing Shui could accomplish such a deed!

The crown prince watched the ruins with eyes darker than thunderclouds, his fists cracking with tension!

He had a premonition that the people inside had not died!

It was then that a man in official attire approached, kneeling before the crown prince.

"Ling Chengxing presents himself to the crown prince!"

The crown prince stood with his hands behind his back, facing away from Ling Chengxing, and spoke indifferently, "Ling Chengxing, I have treated you well over the years, haven’t I?"

Ling Chengxing nodded, knowing that the crown prince was likely to make things difficult for him, yet he said, "The crown prince is like a second father to me; without you, there would be no me today!"

Pleased, the crown prince nodded, then his eyes sharpened as he turned around and said, "Then since we’re on the same side, I’ll be frank with you. Do you have the list for Princess Lingxia’s expedition to the Holy Hidden Realm?"

Ling Chengxing was startled, that list was a top-secret document. The number of people wasn’t a secret, but the information on each individual was extremely sensitive!

It absolutely could not be leaked! Otherwise, he would face execution by the nine familial exterminations!

He knelt swiftly and pleaded, "Crown prince, you’re putting me in a difficult position. Although I’m in charge of that list, just leaking one name could cost me my head! You know the rules."

The crown prince chuckled and even patted the kneeling Ling Chengxing on the shoulder, saying, "Don’t be nervous. If you don’t tell and I don’t tell, who else in the world would know?"

Ling Chengxing’s face turned pale, and he begged earnestly, "Crown prince, I... I’m begging you, please don’t make it difficult for me, I still have a wife and child. If I speak out, I’m truly dead..."

The crown prince knew he wouldn’t get all the secrets from Ling Chengxing, so he changed his approach, saying, "Then let me ask you another way, is there someone named Ren Feifan among Princess Lingxia’s team? You just need to nod or shake your head, that shouldn’t count as a leak, right? Of course, you can also choose not to answer, but then I can’t guarantee the safety of your three-year-old son! Hidden Gate is sometimes quite chaotic, with people often disappearing."

A threat!

Ling Chengxing’s face turned ashen, without a choice, he could only nod.

A smile appeared on the corner of the crown prince’s mouth as he watched the ruins, murmuring:

"Ren Feifan, Ren Feifan, today you have Mr. Jing Shui to protect you, but I don’t believe he can protect you for life! Once we enter that Secret Realm, not only will I disgrace you, but I will also make sure you watch Lingxia being delighted beneath me! Haha!"

...

Mr. Jing Shui and Princess Lingxia, along with the others, had arrived outside, looking at the Royal Family Auction House now reduced to ruins, the complexity apparent in their eyes.

No one knew what had happened inside.

Nor did they know what that extremely nefarious object was!

Everything would only be clear if Ren Feifan came out alive.

And of course, Ren Feifan was not within the ruins; in the very last second, he chose to enter the mysterious space!

Once in the mysterious space, Ren Feifan tried to remove the mask from his face, but to his shock, he found that it had disappeared!

His face was filled with terror!

The mask was on his face just a second ago!

And he could clearly feel its presence!

"Is it unremovable?"

Ren Feifan muttered to himself.

Since he could not remove it, Ren Feifan could only ask he who was behind it all.

He punched the Stone Pillar of Inheritance, shouting angrily, "Demon King, come out!

Darkness billowed, a shadowy silhouette emerged abruptly.

The Demon King’s mouth curved in a smile, his voice casual, "Kid, how does it feel? Worth it, isn’t it?"

Ren Feifan demanded, his voice cold, "Why can’t I take off the mask?"

"The mask?" The Demon King’s face creased into furrows, and then suddenly, as if realizing something, said, "The mask is just one form it takes! Once you wear it, it means you’ve accepted this Divine Skill."

"Divine Skill? Make yourself clear! Can’t I take off the mask?" Ren Feifan suddenly felt like he’d been swindled.

"Touch your brow, do you feel a burning sensation?"

Ren Feifan did so and indeed felt a trace of heat.

The Demon King continued, "You, human cultivators, always talk about opening the Third Eye, don’t you? If there is a Third Eye, couldn’t there also be an Earth Eye? This thing can kill invisibly at critical moments, although the side effects are a bit severe. You’d better be prepared, as your cultivation level is insufficient to sustain the opening of that eye."

"What exactly are the side effects?" Ren Feifan was eager for the truth, but the Demon King just chuckled and vanished into the Stone Pillar as a wisp of black smoke.

"As for the side effects, you’ll know once you use it. Oh, and this time, this king will be in seclusion for five days; during these days, you won’t be able to contact this king. Take care! And watch out for that prince outside; he has a strong desire to kill you..."
