Shi Hao and the others stopped at a dilapidated palace complex.
The reason was the sound of fighting coming from within.
This place was the Scripture Hall and Pill Hall of the ancient holy land, so a particularly large number of people had gathered, all hoping to get lucky and find something that had been overlooked.
"We went in first; this is what we saw first."
"You're really interesting. What you saw first is yours?"
"Don't you know that treasures belong to the capable?"
"So, you're saying you're very capable?"
As soon as Shi Hao and his group entered, they saw two groups confronting each other, both sides with injuries, indicating that a battle had just taken place.
"Holy Maiden, the people from the Eastern Profound Holy Land have arrived."
Hearing this, Lan Yue Holy Land's Holy Maiden, Jie Mengxin, frowned as she looked at the newcomers.
Originally, the two opposing sides were evenly matched, and now a powerful opponent had arrived.
Coupled with the fact that they had just fought a battle, their stamina had not fully recovered.
Wouldn't this be a case of when the snipe and clam quarrel, the fisherman profits? While they struggle, someone else might seize the opportunity.
Heavenly Green Holy Son Mu Fan also watched the newcomers cautiously. He had used a lot of power just now, and his spiritual energy had only recovered by fifty percent.
"Oh, who do we have here? If it isn't Miss Jie and Brother Mu."
"It seems we've arrived at an inopportune time. Why don't you continue?"
As the Holy Maiden and Holy Sons of the Eastern Region's five great holy lands, they all knew each other, but there was no real friendship, only having heard of each other's names.
"No, you've come at the perfect time."
Mu Fan tentatively asked, "Brother Wang, how about our two sides join forces to first eliminate these people from the Azure Moon Holy Land, and then we can divide the treasures?"
"You, shameless!"
Jie Mengxin roared angrily upon hearing Mu Fan's words.
Then, she looked uneasily at Wang Teng and the others.
In the current situation, if their two sides really joined forces, then her own holy land's disciples, including herself, would definitely all perish in the secret realm.
Although she had a life-saving trump card given by the Holy Lord, it was only to be used as a last resort.
But the other party was also from a holy land; could they not have a life-saving trump card?
"Hahaha, Brother Mu is just teasing."
Wang Teng said calmly, "Rest assured, Miss Jie. I, Wang Teng, have always conducted myself with honor and will never exploit another's misfortune."
Hearing this, Jie Mengxin was relieved. As long as the two sides didn't join forces, her own side could completely handle a three-way confrontation.
"Isn't it just a matter of who entered first? When the time comes, whoever is capable will get the good stuff."
Wang Teng said, "How about this? I see that you've been arguing for so long without reaching a conclusion."
"I, Wang Teng, will do a good deed. Our Eastern Profound Holy Land will take over this place. How about it?"
Hearing this, the disciples of the Azure Moon Holy Land and the Heavenly Green Holy Land all became vigilant, drawing their swords and pointing them at his group.
"What! Such a good method, and you actually don't agree!"
Wang Teng turned to Shi Hao and asked, "Brother Shi, what do you think we should do?"
Shi Hao and his companions walked forward with smiles. This Brother Wang was too amusing, his acting was superb!
If you wanted to chase everyone away, just say so directly.
"Brother Wang, I think your proposal is excellent."
Shi Hao said, "The three of us strongly agree."
What? They had helpers!
Looking at the three people walking forward, Jie Mengxin and Mu Fan were greatly shocked.
Those who could join forces with a holy land in this secret realm, even if not from a holy land themselves, were definitely talented individuals.
There were many resources and fortuitous encounters in the secret realm. There was no need to waste manpower here for nothing. Besides, it wasn't certain if there were even any good things inside.
Thinking of this, they both planned to leave and look elsewhere.
"Hmph, let's go," Jie Mengxin said, turning around and flicking her sleeve.
The disciples of the Azure Moon Holy Land also breathed a sigh of relief. They had just experienced a major battle and really didn't have the energy for another one.
"Brother Wang, then this place is yours. Our Heavenly Green Holy Land voluntarily withdraws."
Mu Fan grinned and said, "Brother Wang, should we have the chance after leaving the secret realm, we must find time to drink and celebrate together."
With that, he called his sect's disciples and led them away.
This kid was capable of great things; he understood how to deal with people!
"Alright, it's quiet now."
Wang Teng said, "Let's go, Brother Shi, let's go inside and take a look."
Pushing open the dilapidated main door inside, Shi Hao and his companions walked deeper in.
Along the way, it was very dark, and they could only vaguely see the path. Everyone had to feel their way forward.
"Ah! Something bit my foot!"
The people walking in front heard the cry of a disciple behind them and hurriedly went back to check.
"You kid, you're too timid."
The senior brother said, "Look for yourself what you stepped on."
"Ah?"
That disciple lowered his head to look.
He saw that his foot had stepped into the mouth of a skeleton.
"Ah, I'm sorry, senior brother, let's continue on our way," that disciple said embarrassedly after taking his foot out.
After this farce, everyone continued forward. As they walked, they found the surroundings becoming wider and wider, and the holes in the palace roof made the surroundings brighter.
They stopped after reaching a few compartments.
"Brother Shi, it seems this is the Scripture Hall and Pill Hall of the holy land."
Wang Teng carefully examined the surrounding layout.
However, this place had already been looted and was in ruins. First, it had been riddled with holes from the great battle.
And with the disciples who had entered the secret realm before looting it, it was likely that nothing of value remained.
But no one could guarantee that something hadn't been overlooked. This was undoubtedly the first place everyone who entered the secret realm came to.
When Shi Hao and Wang Teng arrived,
The reason only the two holy lands remained was that they had temporarily joined forces to drive out all those who came before them. Afterward, they would compete amongst themselves.
Thus, this place still attracted a lot of attention.
"Everyone, go look around, but remember, no hoarding!"
Wang Teng said, "I, Wang Teng, am a very reasonable person. Anyone who hoards will have to listen to my reasoning."
"Yes, Holy Son."
The twenty disciples of the Eastern Profound Holy Land then scattered, searching everywhere.
"Let's go, Brother Shi, let's go take a look too."
Lin Bai said, "Senior brother, this place doesn't look like it has anything good." He and Shi Hao were still planning to fill large bags with resources.
"Don't worry, let's go look over there."
Shi Hao pointed to a secret chamber ahead.
"Junior Sister, let's go. What are you thinking about?"
"Oh, let's go, senior brother."
Hua Qingyu had just been communicating with Mu Shuixian in the ring through divine sense.
"Senior, this is the Pill Hall and Scripture Hall of the secret realm. It doesn't look like there's any saintly medicine at all?"
"Don't worry, my senses can't be wrong."
Mu Shuixian said, "The saintly medicine is ahead. You guys walk further in."
As a Great Emperor Realm expert, Mu Shuixian's divine sense was extremely powerful, even though she was currently only a remnant soul.
Yet, she still clearly sensed something ahead that made her divine soul feel at ease.
