Chapter 1567: Chapter 1563: The Conspiracy Hidden in the Darkness (Sixth Update)

Xu Shihan was his own wife—how could Ren Feifan not recognize her!

But what was she doing here?

When Xu Shihan took the stage, Ren Feifan noticed the old man’s eyes clearly changed, his gaze filled with a hint of blame and anger.

Blaming himself for bringing Xu Shihan to the Hidden Gate, angry that Xu Shihan had come here on her own initiative.

Now, whether Xu Shihan could even make it out alive was uncertain!

Just as Xu Shihan was about to take an Elixir from the first box, the old man walked over and said to the Referee of the first box, "You go down first; I’m bored just standing here by myself, this will give me something to do."

The Referee didn’t think much of it and nodded, "As you wish, Grandmaster."

The old man reached out and grabbed an Elixir directly from the box then, with a flick of his finger, he swapped the Elixir and nonchalantly handed the switched Elixir to Xu Shihan, saying, "Eat this!"

Xu Shihan was startled. She widened her eyes and looked at the old man in front of her, only at such a close distance to realize that the Grandmaster was actually her own grandfather!

She was about to speak, but she found her mouth had been sealed shut.

It was clearly her grandfather who had sealed her with True Qi, signaling her not to talk.

Understanding the gesture, Xu Shihan said nothing further and directly swallowed the Elixir given by her grandfather. She just wanted to ask questions, but her grandfather waved her away.

Before she had begun cultivating, she was able to manage a massive conglomerate; her emotional intelligence was naturally high, and she quickly understood that her grandfather had unspoken difficulties, and staying longer would only expose his identity.

Therefore, with light steps, she flashed her form, crossing into the Secret Realms and vanished from sight.

Ren Feifan had been hesitating about whether or not to enter the Secret Realms, but seeing Xu Shihan enter, he was certain he had to as well!

And he had no idea where Xu Shihan got the invitation from!

At that moment, a cold light shot towards Ren Feifan!

It was the old man!

Ren Feifan of course understood what the old man wanted to do and went straight to the stage, standing before the first box.

The old man blinked and used the same trick to swap another Elixir and handed it to Ren Feifan.

Ren Feifan naturally trusted the old man and without hesitation, he swallowed the Elixir.

Upon consuming the Elixir, a rich scent of medicine spread out. As a disciple of the Saint Doctor’s Gate, Ren Feifan accurately recognized that this Elixir was nothing more than a common Qi-transforming Elixir.

He didn’t think much of it and was just about to turn and step into the gate of the Secret Realms when a voice transmission entered his mind.

It was no other than the old man’s voice!

"Kid, I don’t care about anything else, but once you enter the Secret Realms, find my granddaughter immediately and ensure her safety. If she comes to even the slightest harm, I’ll flay you alive!

Also, by no means should you approach the Locking God Formation in the Secret Realms. Though there lies an ancient beast and a powerful treasure, the place is incredibly dangerous; no one has succeeded in entering it for hundreds of years.

This time, I suspect Ren Feicheng is headed precisely for that place. Your cultivation is too weak, do not come into conflict with Ren Feicheng!

Last of all, after you find Shi Han, pick a hidden spot to hunker down and cultivate. Do not run around outside.

Otherwise, you’re undoubtedly courting death!

All right, there’s not much time left, hurry up! There are some things you’ll understand once you’re inside."

Ren Feifan finally came to his senses and without hesitation, he entered the Secret Realms.

Soon after, the remaining people also took their Elixirs and successfully entered the Secret Realms.

Three minutes later, the entrance to the Secret Realm suddenly sealed shut! The earth began to tremble! The entire square returned to silence!

The judges, seeing the gates close, revealed a trace of a smile on their faces.

The old crone known as Old Xia was even toying with a short dagger in her hand, laughing as she said, "What do you think, will anyone bring back that ’thing’ from the Secret Realm this time?"

The elderly man in the Taoist robe waved his hand dismissively, "That ’thing’ hasn’t been taken for hundreds of years. Do you think this batch of contestants can manage it? I don’t expect so!"

"It’s different this time, there weren’t so many talents before. The lineup this time is no ordinary matter, aside from Ren Feicheng, those two immortal elders have sent their direct disciples, presumably for that ’thing’."

Old Xia suddenly turned to look at the old man, hastening to say, "Master Tianming, nothing escapes your divine vision. Do you perhaps have an answer already?"

The Taoist-robed elder also turned his gaze sharply toward the old man, "Yeah, Master Tianming, I saw you playing with the turtle shell earlier; don’t tell me you already divined the outcome?"

The old man stroked his beard, a smile touching the corners of his lips, "I haven’t divined anything, but I feel that none of those three will obtain that ’thing’. This Secret Realm will be the most interesting in history."

The crowd exchanged glances but said no more.

...

Meanwhile, within the Secret Realm.

When Ren Feifan first stepped into the Secret Realm, he only saw a flash of white light before his consciousness became somewhat hazy.

When he awoke, he found himself lying in a stretch of yellow sand. He rubbed his eyes and extended his Spiritual Sense, only to discover that there was nothing but sand within ten miles!

Damn, where’s the abundant Spiritual Energy they promised?

Where are all the countless heavenly treasures?

Not only were they absent, but Ren Feifan also found that the Spiritual Energy here wasn’t even as dense as Lin City’s or Jiangnan Province’s back in Huaxia!

One could almost speak of a scarcity of Spiritual Energy here!

"What a pitfall!"

Ren Feifan quickly calmed himself; the absence of True Qi and people in this Secret Realm meant he must have entered late and was assigned to a desert area.

At the same time, Ren Feifan felt the faint vibrations of a Formation beneath the ground. The areas surrounding the desert must have stripped away its vitality and Spiritual Energy.

As long as he followed the trail of the scarce Spiritual Energy, he could determine where that place was!

Soon, Ren Feifan roughly located the area, in the southwest direction of the desert.

Without hesitation, he summoned a giant tiger, mounted it in one stride, and headed toward the southwest!

Halfway through his journey, Ren Feifan suddenly spotted a corpse; he recognized it as the fat man he had asked Master Tianming for information about.

The fat man’s eyes were wide open, as if he had been scared by something before he died, and there was a deep bite mark on his neck. This kind of bite mark was fine, almost resembling a human bite.

What was more critical was that the fat man’s body lacked any signs of life and Spiritual Energy; his cultivation had vanished as well.

It quite resembled the aftermath of someone having their essence and cultivation absorbed.

The thought made Ren Feifan’s heart skip a beat.

It would be bad enough if this fiend was just loose inside the Secret Realm, but if he was mingling with their group of contestants, that would send chills down one’s spine.

The Secret Realm gathered talented disciples from the entire Hidden Gate, with immense cultivation and young blood—absolutely prime targets for essence and cultivation absorption!

If the Secret Realm had been purposely designed and packaged as a lure for these talented youths to step into, only to serve as a place for someone to absorb their essence and cultivation, then that was truly terrifying.
