Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

Zhou Yiqiao had already seen through these people's attitudes towards him, so naturally he would not get into trouble at this time.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled indifferently and shook his head.

"I am a newcomer here and know very little about the secret realm. I will follow the arrangements of Brother Chen and fellow Taoists."

Zhou Yiqiao's answer was modest and conservative, without showing much opinion, which made Chen Fan's friends feel that he had little ability and was just a useless person.

One of the monks, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a handsome face, couldn't help but smile with contempt.

His name was Zhao Kuo, and although he was only an elite disciple in the Tingfeng Academy of the Zhongzhou Saint Sect, he believed that his status and position had improved because of his good talent in cultivation and his fellow Taoists with Saint Sect geniuses such as Chen Fan over the years.

People like him can be said to be most disgusted with cultivators like Zhou Yiqiao, who look almost the same as himself when he was still young.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou is indeed modest, but I hope he can maintain this modesty in the secret realm, so that we don't have to spend effort to rescue him after he takes risks."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Zhao Kuo's tone.

Zhou Yiqiao just smiled slightly and did not argue with Zhao Kuo. He turned his gaze to Chen Fan, obviously asking for Chen Fan's opinion.

Seeing this, Chen Fan frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Zhao Kuo's words, but he did not lose his temper on the spot, and just said lightly.

"I trust Brother Zhou's strength. After entering the secret realm, we will work together and show our strengths."

Chen Fan's words revealed his trust in Zhou Yiqiao, which made the others feel indignant but they didn't say anything.

Afterwards, Chen Fan led everyone to the entrance of the secret realm.

This is a hidden cave, the entrance of which is covered by ancient vines and weeds. If Chen Fan and others had not explored it in advance, it would have been difficult to discover that there is a hidden world here.

"Everyone, the secret realm is full of dangers. We need to be careful."

As the strongest person among them, Chen Fan stood at the front of the team. After turning around to remind everyone, he was the first to step into the cave.

The others followed closely behind, while Zhou Yiqiao followed silently at the end of the team, keeping an eye out for any accidents that might occur.

After entering the cave, everyone walked along the winding passage and soon came to an open underground square. In the center of the square stood an ancient magic circle, which was engraved with complex patterns and emitted a faint light.

"This is the teleportation array that leads to the secret realm. We only need to stand in the array to be teleported into the secret realm."

The female monk who had introduced the details of the secret realm spoke up again to explain.

Everyone stepped onto the teleportation array, and Zhou Yiqiao also found a place to stand.

Following Chen Fan's order, the teleportation array slowly started up, and everyone's figures were gradually shrouded in light.

After a dizzy feeling, Zhou Yiqiao found himself in a whole new world.

The spiritual energy here is rich, and there are exotic flowers and plants everywhere. There are also a few palaces looming in the distance, just like a fairyland.

However, beneath this beautiful scene, Zhou Yiqiao could sense a potential danger. His intuition told him that this place was not as peaceful as it seemed.

"Let's go to Huanyin Valley first. After all, that is the easiest test mentioned by Miss Li."

Chen Fan said this and took the lead and walked forward.

Everyone followed closely behind. Zhou Yiqiao also put away the distracting thoughts in his mind and followed the team with full concentration, ready to face the challenges in the secret realm.

However, just as they were about to reach the Fantasy Sound Valley, a strange sound wave suddenly came, shocking everyone.

Everyone stopped immediately and looked around vigilantly.

"This is the outskirts of the Fantasy Sound Valley. The Fantasy Sound has begun to affect us."

Female monk Li Ronger reminded.

"Everyone be careful, don't be fooled by the phantom sound."

Chen Fan said in a deep voice.

Everyone started practicing their skills to resist the intrusion of the phantom sound.

Zhou Yiqiao also activated the Record of Ten Thousand Demons, and the surging spiritual power formed a thin film outside his body, completely isolating Zhou Yiqiao himself from the sound waves.

At this moment, low roars suddenly came from the Fantasy Sound Valley, and then several black shadows rushed out of the valley and attacked everyone.

These shadows were extremely fast and had strong attack power, and everyone was in a state of panic for a moment.

"These are the spirit beasts in Huanyin Valley. Don't hold back, and make a quick decision!"

Chen Fan shouted loudly and drew his sword to meet the enemy.

Others also took out their magic weapons and fought fiercely with the black shadow.

Zhou Yiqiao also summoned the Netherworld Demon Sword, but he did not use his full strength. He still focused his main attention on resisting the phantom sound.

Although the black shadows were ferocious, Chen Fan and his group were all elites from their respective sects and were very powerful, so they quickly suppressed the situation.

However, because Zhou Yiqiao's cultivation was relatively low and he did not go all out, the shadow in front of him was still entangled with him. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but show a bit of contempt in their eyes.

Zhao Kuo snorted coldly and said.

"Friend Zhou, are you playing with that black shadow, or is this all you are capable of?"

Zhou Yiqiao ignored Zhao Kuo's sarcasm. He had his own plans in mind and was not in a hurry for temporary gains or losses.

After Chen Fan helped the female monk Li Ronger to defeat her opponent, he saw that Zhou Yiqiao was still struggling with the black shadow, so he flashed to his side and threw a punch, instantly defeating Zhou Yiqiao's black shadow.

"Brother Zhou, the secret realm is full of dangers. You must go all out and not hold back."

Chen Fan said in a deep voice, then turned to talk to the others.

"Brother Zhou is the helper I invited. His strength should not be underestimated. You must not underestimate him."

When everyone heard Chen Fan speak, although they were still dissatisfied, they did not dare to say anything more.

With Chen Fan's comfort, everyone's attitude towards Zhou Yiqiao became more restrained. Although there was still some distrust in their eyes, at least the contempt on the surface had been put away.

"Okay, let's move on."

Chen Fan said this, and took another step, leading everyone deeper into the Fantasy Sound Valley.

In the Fantasy Sound Valley, the sound waves around were becoming increasingly strong, and everyone had to concentrate on dealing with them in order to avoid being invaded by the phantom sounds.

The environment in the valley became more and more complex, with jagged rocks, towering ancient trees, and fog and formation traps appearing from time to time, causing considerable trouble to everyone's progress.

However, when everyone just stepped into the core area of ​​Fantasy Sound Valley, something strange happened.

A burst of strong light erupted from the center of the valley, accompanied by an even more violent phantom sound. Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and then they found that they had dispersed from each other.

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked to find himself alone in a fog. Chen Fan and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"Everyone, welcome to my first test, the Fantasy Sound Valley!"

An excited voice came from all directions, echoing in Zhou Yiqiao's ears, and the tone was full of anticipation.
