I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 622
Chapter 622: Overjoyed, but Reluctant
“The secret realm is closing?”
“And within an hour!”
“Can we finally get out?”
…
Seeing the spatial vortex in the sky and the information suddenly appearing in their minds,
the disciples of the Qiankun Sect and the members of the Gongshu Clan were stunned at first, then all revealed expressions of ecstasy.
For the past year, they had tried every possible means to find a way out, but to no avail.
Unexpectedly, now, before the secret realm closed, it would offer to release them.
“Hahaha, Gongshu Yu, it seems that heaven has not granted your wishes. Now that the secret realm is about to close, even if I reveal the secret of the strange beasts to you, you probably won’t have time to hunt them anymore, right? So, do you still want to fight us?”
Qin Zheng suddenly laughed.
Gongshu Yu’s face suddenly darkened.
But he knew that Qin Zheng was right.
The secret realm would close within an hour. Even if he knew the secret of the strange beasts, it would be too late to hunt them.
Qin Zheng’s smile was particularly glaring to Gongshu Yu.
He felt the urge to immediately order the extermination of all these Qiankun Sect disciples.
But he suppressed the urge with immense determination.
Qin Zheng was no weakling; his cultivation was only slightly inferior to his.
If a real fight broke out, even if he could completely annihilate them, his side would undoubtedly suffer significant losses, and the ultimate victory would likely be a pyrrhic one.
Furthermore, whether they would have the energy left to escape the secret realm after a battle was uncertain.
After all, flying in this strange secret realm was extremely exhausting.
Most importantly, if a war broke out, even if they won, there would be no benefit.
With this thought, Gongshu Yu finally suppressed the murderous intent within him.
With a cold snort, he turned and left: “Let’s go!”
Seeing Gongshu Yu and the others leave and disappear completely, Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
If possible, he naturally didn’t want to engage in battle.
Although their strength had greatly improved over the past year after refining the bloodlines of the exotic beasts,
a battle with Gongshu Yu and his men would likely result in a mutually devastating defeat.
Now that the other party was willing to retreat, it was naturally the best outcome for him.
“Second Brother, what should we do now?” Ye Qingzhu asked.
“Let’s rest for a while, get back to our best form, and then prepare to leave this secret realm,” Qin Zheng said without hesitation.
According to the information they had just received, the secret realm would be completely closed in at most an hour, so they didn’t have much time to waste.
Otherwise, they might be trapped here forever.
Chu Xiaojing was a little anxious: “But, Brother Chen…”
“Since we can all sense the secret realm’s warning, I assume Fellow Daoist Chen is the same. If he’s still in the secret realm, he’ll definitely know the news too,” Qin Zheng said.
“Indeed, with Fellow Daoist Chen’s strength, leaving the secret realm is easy. On the other hand, if we don’t conserve our energy, we may not be able to reach the spatial vortex above.” Zixiao nodded.
The others were all terrified at the thought.
Zixiao was right. Flying in this secret realm is no easy task. The higher you go, the more mana you consume.
Given the height at which the spatial vortex appeared, if they didn’t take it seriously, they might not even be able to reach it.
Thinking of this, all the Qiankun Sect disciples couldn’t help but become solemn: “Understood, Second Senior Brother!”
“Master, are you leaving with us?”
Qin Zheng turned to look at the Five Treasures Taoist.
“Of course.” The Five Treasures Taoist nodded.
Finally able to leave, he naturally didn’t want to stay here any longer.
“If that’s the case, let’s all rest.”
As the Qiankun Sect disciples gathered their breath, the other powerful figures within the secret realm were also overjoyed.
The independent cultivators, in particular, were ecstatic.
“Are we finally able to leave?”
“I thought I was going to die in this damn secret realm!”
“After I return, I’ll immediately retire and never explore the secret realm again!”
“Senior Brother Liu, what a pity you didn’t make it to this day.”
For many independent cultivators, the past year within the secret realm had been incredibly agonizing.
Many had even died from attacks by strange beasts due to depletion of elixirs and spirit stones, and lack of mana replenishment.
So, knowing they could finally leave, it’s no exaggeration to say that many independent cultivators were ecstatic.
Immediately, all of them rushed recklessly towards the location of the spatial vortex.
“Will the secret realm close in an hour?”
Somewhere within the secret realm, Batian casually slew a strange beast and immediately stored it in his spatial magic weapon.
“Well, I’ve collected some exotic beast carcasses these days. I’ll take them back to the clan’s alchemists for study, and perhaps they’ll be able to uncover their secrets.”
Batian was still somewhat concerned about the secrets hidden within the bodies of exotic beasts.
This was especially true after witnessing Lu Qing’s powerful performance in the ancient pagoda.
He felt that with Lu Qing’s strength, there must be a reason behind his frenzied hunting of exotic beasts.
Unfortunately, the clan members who had followed him this time practiced combat-oriented techniques, unable to decipher the secrets within the bodies of the exotic beasts. That’s
why he planned to hunt some exotic beasts and bring them back for the clan’s alchemists to study.
“I wonder if that person truly died on Bone Mountain, or if he encountered a chance encounter.”
Batian looked toward the ancient pagoda.
“Is this secret realm closing?”
In a ruin somewhere, a Taoist from Daoxu Temple, clad in a star-shaped Taoist robe, gazed at the spatial vortex in the sky.
“Are you leaving?”
Elsewhere, Shen Cangfeng gazed at the spatial vortex, his eyes filled with resentment.
He gained nothing from this trip into the secret realm. After emerging from the ancient tower, he explored other ruins, but found little.
He had wasted a whole year, and how could he resign himself to this?
“What a shame! We were just one step away from breaking through this ruin!”
The veiled, cold woman from the Biluo Palace, in one of the underground ruins, was equally discontent.
Half a year ago, they had discovered this underground ruin. After painstakingly cracking it, they were on the verge of the final step, only to be told the secret realm was closing.
“Never mind, there’s no chance after all,”
the cold woman sighed, ultimately deciding to leave.
It was still unknown what lay within the ruins.
In an hour, the secret realm would close. If they entered the ruins and became trapped, they would never be able to leave.
After weighing the pros and cons, the cold woman had no choice but to make a choice.
As the cultivators within the secret realm began to leave,
Lu Qing, still cultivating in seclusion within the mysterious space, was awakened by a voice.
