Chapter 1027 Entering the Secret Realm

The moment the giant elder's voice rang, Antonio solemnly stated to everyone, "You all may enter now. Remember, you must help each other; if you can't handle the situation, you may seek each other. The secret realm is filled with opportunities but is also very dangerous, so don't be greedy, for your lives are more important.

"The secret realm will remain open for 100 days, and afterward, you all will be sent out no matter where you are. Now go!"

Everyone's eyes shimmered with excitement and anticipation as they quickly headed toward the vortex.

The imperials were the first ones, led by Carlos, and then the Imperial Students followed Evie and Riana at the very front.

Ace also entered within the middle of the group, and the moment he entered the vortex, he suddenly felt a suction force envelop his body before his body wrapped, and the entire scene changed.

When the vision returned to his eyes, he found he was standing in the middle of an ancient platform under a neon sky with everyone else. He was shocked when he found the lands ahead of the ancient platform were crimson and filled with gigantic black trees with strange markings on his bodies, giving off a ghastly aura. This ancient platform was right in the middle of this strange forest!

"Let's vanish together, or it will be a hassle later!" Eva's voice rang in his head.

"Hmm… good idea. Investigating this Vampyre Clan is more important for now. We can take out those imperials after they separate." Ace agreed as he vanished without trace with stealth, and no one noticed him since they were all still in a daze.

If it was before they learned about the Vampyre Clan, Ace, and Eva were planning to play for a while, but now things were different. The time was limited, so they needed to gather clues about this Vampyre Clan first.

Eva was the same as she instantly vanished before anyone could notice her, and with Ace, they both entered the strange forest.

At this moment, the others also started to snap out of their stupor and quickly began to walk over towards either the Crown Prince or the Second Prince. Now that they were already inside the secret realm, they could drop all the acts and join their factions.

Even if they didn't want to, they knew exploring in teams was the best option because this place was very dangerous. Not to mention, they knew that if they found a treasure, they might not be able to keep it.

Although the imperials never stated it publicly, they all knew that upon exiting the secret realm, they would have to reveal their discoveries and even have to undergo a 'safety inspection' by letting the imperials check their storage treasures and their bodies.

But in truth, this safety inspection was just a sham to make sure they wouldn't leave with something important. It was the price they had to pay for entering the secret realm, and no one could do anything about it.

So, risking their lives for someone else's benefit was not worth it. That's why forming a team with an imperial gave them at least a chance to keep the treasure to themselves or study it together.

However, some people like Riana still liked to take their chances, and two more male imperial students remained standing in their place.

Carlos frowned when he saw Riana wasn't coming over; a hint of coldness crept into his eyes, and he was about to order her when Darren's startling voice rang, "Where's Evie?"

Finally, everyone noticed that Evie was missing; they were all baffled since they hadn't paid attention before. But now that they were going to explore, they finally noticed it.

No one seemed to remember Leroy, who wasn't as important or famous as Evie. But Evie was very powerful and at the peak of her fame, not to mention the Second Prince was trying to win her favor. So, he quickly noticed when he wanted to invite her.

"What is going on? Didn't all the participants enter at the same point? Could it be she was teleported somewhere else?" Carlos frowned as he was uncertain since this had never happened before.

The impassive Riana was also shocked, 'I wanted to invite her…' She grimaced.

Although she had little interaction with Evie, she considered her a kindred spirit as well as a worthy rival since she thought Evie was in the same position as her.

Riana also envies Evie because she at least has a powerful master standing behind her, and she will be independent as long as Zack is there.

She even wanted to befriend her but never stated her intention because of Carlos. She thought this secret realm was her chance, but now Evie had suddenly vanished, and she was slightly worried about her.

"Let's go, everyone. We can't waste time, Miss Evie might be alone and in trouble, we are going to search for her." Darren declared with a hint of worry, incurring the envy of other women in his group.

He wanted to show off in front of her, but now that hope had dashed away, he was a little anxious.

Carlos wasn't any different, and his group had more members than Darren's, so he also gave the order, "We are also going. Riana, Brothers, and Little sister, are you coming with me?" He asked masked Sofia, whose eyes were narrowed, and his other two brothers while coldly glancing at Riana.

Darren also stopped in his tracks as he knew Sofia's abilities and that she would be extremely helpful in this place. He nearly forgot about her in his search for Evie. His two brothers were also not to be looked down upon since they were as powerful as any other imperial students.

There wasn't even a need to think about Riana, as everyone knew just how powerful she was because of her military achievements.

"You guys can also join me." He also extended his invitation.

"I'm going to explore on my own. Thank you, First Brother and Second, for your care." Sofia shook her head before her polity declined and vanished without a trace the next moment.

"I'll go with you, First Brother." The fourth Prince, Zion, quickly comes over to Carlos's side because of their close relationship.

On the other hand, Third Prince Calvin silently walked beside Darren's side. As for the other members of the imperial family, they also quickly chose their sides.

Now only Riana was left, as everyone was looking at her, especially Carlos, as his eyes were cold.

Riana took a deep breath before she said, "Forgive me, your Highnesses, but I would like to explore alone." She also used a movement skill before she dashed in another direction.

'This ungrateful wretched!' Carlos's expression was ugly, but he didn't say anything and only clenched his fist in a fury.

"Hahaha, I really admired 'sister-in-law' for her courage!" Darren jeered with a gloating smile before he waved her hand, "Let's go."

A thick vein popped up on Carlos's temple as he snorted coldly, "Let us go as well!"
