Chapter 1657 One More Person

“The periphery of the secret realm is so big,” Mengmeng said.

“Yes.”

Zhang Han nodded and said, “Maybe after flying for a few years, we can’t leave the periphery. It’s hard to say. The secret realm is a space with stable energy. There must be a supreme treasure to support such a huge secret realm. Let’s wait and see. Maybe a Profound-grade treasure will appear in this secret realm.”

“It’s a pity that there are too many Dao Seeking Cultivators entering here.”

Immortal Master Wuluo said, “There are more than 3,000 entrances around the big secret realm. Hundreds of thousands of the people of the first-rate forces from the seventh, eighth, and ninth mountains may come here. Even the people of the super sects may send more than 10,000 members here. The people from the holy lands may send hundreds or even thousands of members here. There are a lot of people and very few treasures. It will be very difficult for us to get the Profound-grade treasure.”

“It’s not impossible. We should always be hopeful about things.”

Yue Wuwei smiled.

In the past month, they had experienced more than a thousand bottomless pits, big and small.

They hadn’t run into another bottomless pit as big as the one where the Golden-armored Giant Beast saved them.

Gradually, Chen Chuan got used to it. He hugged Zhang Han by the thighs and looked down at the bottomless pit.

He shouted, “The hole looks like an eyeball.

“What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I’ll bury you when I grow up.”

“You seem to have grown up.” Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him and said, “If you keep making noise, don’t hug my Daddy’s legs.”

Hearing this, Chen Chuan immediately stopped shouting.

They had stayed in the secret realm for forty-five days.

The snow began to decrease.

It became clearer and clearer up ahead.

“We’re leaving the range of the snow mountains.”

“There might be other existences at the junction. Everyone, be careful.” Zhang Han said.

“Okay.” Immortal Master Waterheaven nodded.

These days, everyone, including Immortal Master Waterheaven, was used to Zhang Han leading the team.

Not only did they have to face the bottomless pits, but they also encountered all kinds of turbulence in the air more than 300 times. Every time, Zhang Han could find them in advance and lead them to dodge.

“Second Elder is really amazing.”

Immortal Master Wuluo often said so.

“I admire you, Hanyang. You have a great opportunity and superb means. You deserve to be recognized as Xiaojin’s host.” Immortal Master Waterheaven sometimes praised him.

The others’ thoughts also changed. They didn’t think Second Elder liked to show off, and they were used to being led by Second Elder.

They all admired him. If he hadn’t been here, more than half of them might have died in the biggest bottomless pit.

After they flew for two hours, the view in front of them suddenly became clear.

There were endless snow mountains behind them. They were endless as far as the eye could see. The mountains ahead were lush with greenery, and the trees and plants were full of vitality.

At the border of the two parts, there was a river. The surface of the water was calm, without any waves. It looked like a mirror.

However, they could see faint black ghosts in the river. Furthermore, the bottom of the water was clear, and there were many craters.

Seeing this, everyone present gasped.

“It turns out that the pits we passed by were all Deadlands. The people swallowed turned into ghosts in the water and rested here forever.”

“Don’t underestimate them. They may also have offensive power.” Zhang Han narrowed his eyes and said, “Cover all our auras and cross the river.”

“Should we fly higher?”

Immortal Master Waterheaven hesitated and said, “The souls under the river may all be eighth-tier or ninth-tier Tribulation Stage Dao Seeking Cultivators. There are thousands of them in this area. If they attack together, it may be troublesome.”

“Is it safe to fly high?” Zhang Han looked up at the sky. There were no clouds for thousands of kilometers. There was even a sun in front of him. The sun was shining, and everything was full of vitality. Zhang Han said, “It’s better to face the known crisis than to face the unknown.”

“Wait! There are some people on the side.”

Immortal Master Wuluo suddenly spoke.

In the distance on their left, there were thousands of people dressed neatly in cyan gowns.

They stood beside the snow mountain on the other side of the river and hesitated.

They sent out two teams. Each of them consisted of 10 people. One team advanced high in the sky, and the other flew above the river at a low altitude.

“There doesn’t seem to be any danger.”

“They have crossed more than half of the river.”

Zhang Han and the others were observing.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew over.

Buzz!

The group of ten people in the sky danced gracefully. No one knew what they had seen, but they all looked satisfied.

Then, their bodies began to wither at a visible speed, like withered flowers. Then they turned into withered bones and fell into the water without causing any waves.

The river water was not ordinary either.

After the withered bones fell, countless ghosts in the river roared like fish that had jumped out of the water and devoured all the people in the air quickly.

The two teams were all killed.

They didn’t even have time to resist.

“There is really something strange in the sky.” Immortal Master Waterheaven touched his forehead. “Oh, my god! What is this place? This is definitely not an ordinary big secret realm.”

The people on the other side fell silent. How could they cross the river in the face of such a situation?

They took out a lot of spirit treasures, simulated the breath of Dao Seeking Cultivators, and threw them forward.

The ghosts in the river would still appear and tear them apart.

They took out some more treasures, hid their auras, and threw them over.

However, they were still torn apart.

“Hiding our auras is still not useful.”

Immortal Master Waterheaven said, “Can we only charge in?”

“Kill!”

An earth-shattering roar came from the side. Nearly a thousand people formed a battle formation and crossed the river at a low altitude. Dozens of people died, and the others successfully crossed the river.

“What should we do?” Immortal Master Wuluo asked.

Unknowingly, they began to pay attention to Second Elder’s thoughts.

It seemed that he always had a way to deal with such situations.

Immortal Master Waterheaven had completely stabilized his status as a subordinate assistant.

In the face of everyone’s gaze, Zhang Han was silent for a while and finally said, “Let’s go through it.”

“Dragon King’s defense is strong. It’s useless even if they chew on it.”

Zhang Han summoned the duplication of the Golden-armored Giant Beast.

It didn’t grow too big. It was about 50 meters long, and everyone was flying on its back to defend.

The Golden-armored Giant Beast flew over casually.

Clatter!

Many ghosts in the river rushed up and bit the feet and belly of the Golden-armored Giant Beast.

“It’s like scratching an itch.”

Zhang Han curled his lips. He looked expressionless. Actually, he was also vigilant about his surroundings.

He was still wary of whether the ghosts would fly up to them or not.

Fortunately, such a thing didn’t happen.

They crossed the river smoothly.

After they came to the other side, the situation became a little strange.

“There seems to be some fragrance in the air,” Mengmeng muttered.

“Hold your breath. Don’t breathe the air here.” Zhang Han suddenly spoke.

Everyone immediately held their breath and stared at the scenes around them.

The mountain range was endless. The flowers, plants, and trees were also beautiful.

Zhang Han made an incantation gesture with his right hand.

His eyes flickered with cyan light. Suddenly, he frowned slightly.

“As expected, there is a natural formation here.”

“Another natural formation?” Immortal Master Wuluo’s face changed. “What should we pay attention to?”

“I can’t sense anything at all. It’s too strange.” Immortal Master Waterheaven felt a little dizzy.

“Why does the Second Elder always sense danger, but I’m like a novice in the secret realm?”

“If your perception of the array of formations is sharp enough, you can feel it,” Zhang Han said.

“I seem to have sensed a little of the aura of the illusory formation,” an elder proficient in the array of formations behind him said in an uncertain tone.

“It’s mainly an illusionary formation. But we don’t know exactly what it is or if it has changed. Be careful.”

Zhang Han stretched out his right hand, and some high-level Formation Flags appeared, surrounding the team. The special energy began to draw a Heaven-earth Formation.

“Each of you, give it one drop of blood essence,” Zhang Han said.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Everyone’s blood essence gathered together to form a round blood-colored energy body. When the energy body exploded, some threads connected everyone together.

“This is the team’s heart mark. We can sense everyone’s situation with it. After entering the illusion, don’t panic. Hold the thread and follow the team automatically,” Zhang Han said.

“Okay.” Everyone responded.

They flew at a low altitude of hundreds of meters in the forest.

“It’s a natural illusory formation. It’s said to be very terrible and rare,” Immortal Master Waterheaven said. “I’ve only encountered it once in thousands of years in the secret realms. I was immersed in the illusory formation for fifty years before I woke up and fled because someone accidentally entered it.”

“That’s just a simple illusionary formation. If there is a killing formation mixed with it, it is the most terrible thing. It’s hard to guard against it,” Zhang Han said.

“The scenery here is very beautiful. It doesn’t seem to be dangerous. However, the reality is often different,” Immortal Master Wuluo said.

They chatted as they walked forward.

“Huh?”

“Why is it suddenly late at night?”

After the sunset, a small moon rose up. The surroundings became dark. The faint light caused the area to be filled with a tranquil atmosphere.

For some reason, there was a faint mist in the forest.

“It is strange.”

When they passed by a pile of rubble on the top of the mountain, Immortal Master Wuluo said, “The moon is above, but we can’t see any shadow.”

“There’s no shadow.”

“Maybe it’s because of the faint mist down there.”

Everyone’s tone was relaxed.

The next moment, Elder Bu, the fat man who liked Zi Yan, said in a trembling voice. “Wait!”

Swoosh!

Many people looked over.

His face was pale.

“When we came here, there were a total of 36 people. But now, I’ve checked seven times. Our team has 37 people now.”

“Hiss!”

“What?”

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

When did a person sneak into the team?

Who was the extra person?

They were surrounded by an energy layer.

The person had come so easily. If the person took action, they would be in great danger.

“One, two, three…”

Immortal Master Waterheaven immediately counted. After looking around, his face turned dark. “It really is thirty-seven people. Who is this extra person? Why can’t I remember?”

These elders were all on his side, but he had completely forgotten who had come.

“Dad, I’m scared.”

Mengmeng was slightly surprised. She didn’t like such kind of weird and unpredictable things.
