Among the crowd, several people looked puzzled.

One of them was Fairy Longyue. She looked at her junior sisters behind her and whispered, "Where's Liuying? Why has she disappeared!"

Her face was icy cold, and her right fist was clenched tightly.

She had sent a signal before, but the prostitute didn't come. At the time, she thought it was because she was too far away and didn't pay attention.

After all, Liu Ying is a seventh-grade innate expert. In this secret realm, as long as she doesn't encounter that reckless stone man, she should be fine.

But now that everyone has been teleported out, Liu Ying still hasn't appeared!

If you eliminate all possible answers, the remaining answer, no matter how impossible, can only be the truth.

The warbler is dead.

All the disciples of the Feixia Sect turned pale.

On the other side, the bald leader of the Iron Fist Sect was also completely bewildered.

"Where is my junior brother Hao! Why hasn't he come out?!"

His loud and boisterous manner immediately drew everyone's attention. No one responded, since anyone with a brain could guess what was going on.

If it didn't come out, it means it's dead.

Therefore, there was another person whose expression was also very complicated.

Gu Lingwei stared blankly at the bronze gate that had lost its luster, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Beside him, Gu Changlin whispered, "What's wrong? Are you heartbroken over that playboy?"

“Father, I… I just feel he helped me too much, he even left me all the Green Thunder Bamboo…”

"The path of martial arts is to contend with the heavens and earth for life. There are countless hardships involved, and who can endure them all? I have already given him all my gains, so I am not indebted to him."

Gu Changlin patted his daughter's shoulder but didn't offer much comfort.

Gu Lingwei lowered her head and then looked at everyone who came out, scanning them one by one, trying to find that frivolous figure.

Sure enough, it wasn't among them...

Ye Kang was also swept by her gaze, and at that moment, Ye Kang felt conflicted.

It seems a bit like I'm deceiving her feelings...

This wasn't my intention either...

Forget it, let's not dwell on it. We'll talk about it later. It's better not to expose it now. Let's keep that Mr. Wang, who has obtained such a great opportunity, buried in the secret realm for the time being.

Ye Kang touched his nose, and just then, two familiar figures walked over.

"Young Master Ye, you've come out too!"

It was Qiao Lingwei and Shao Ziping.

These two were of low strength and naturally did not enter the main hall. They were even very self-aware and did not respond to Fairy Longyue's call. As a result, they both survived and each gained something.

Upon seeing familiar faces, Ye Kang cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I'm very lucky to have made a small gain. I must thank you both for informing me of this place."

Qiao Lingwei waved her hand generously: "Not at all, Young Master Ye is very powerful. We just wanted to make a good connection. The secret realm has been completely closed, so there's no need for us to stay any longer. Why don't we go back together?"

"So good."

Ye Kang didn't stand on ceremony and followed the disciples of the Crane Spirit Sect into the whirlpool of undercurrents, returning to the bottom of the water.

The three of them did not board the large ship of the Crane Spirit Sect, but instead continued to take the small boat they had come from, sailing on the vast lake, which was quite elegant.

Along the way, Shao Ziping and Qiao Lingwei recounted their experiences in the secret realm, both expressing their amazement.

Shao Ziping, in particular, had eyes full of joy at surviving a disaster.

"You wouldn't believe it, I was having a great time treasure hunting when that stone man, bigger than a mountain, suddenly charged at me. I was terrified, thinking I was going to die. But the stone man completely ignored me and roared as it ran off to somewhere else..."

Qiao Lingwei chimed in, "You're lucky. I don't know which bastard caused this, making that stone man so angry that he's destroying everything, which has made me afraid to even go out treasure hunting!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang expressed his deep agreement.

The three chatted all night, and before they knew it, they had sailed out of the deep water and returned to the reed marsh where they had first met.

Then, they were dumbfounded.

"What happened! This place has changed so much!"

Qiao Lingwei spoke in disbelief.

The original reed marshland had been completely destroyed. The fallen reeds and aquatic plants were crooked and twisted, most of them uprooted. The water was also murky, clearly having been turned upside down.

Ye Kang's expression gradually turned serious as he watched this scene unfold.

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a small fishing boat came rowing from a distance. When the old fisherman saw Ye Kang and his two companions, he immediately panicked and quickly rowed backward.

Shao Ziping shouted, "Stop!"

Then they rowed their boat and chased after them.

Being a martial artist, Shao Ziping rowed much faster than the old fisherman and quickly caught up with him.

The latter immediately knelt in the cabin, wailing, "Sir, please don't arrest me! I don't know anything, I'm just a fisherman!"

Shao Ziping frowned and said sternly, "Who's trying to arrest you? We're just passing martial artists, not some adults. Let me ask you, how did this place become like this?"

When the old fisherman heard that they weren't there to arrest him, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You should have said so earlier! I'm exhausted."

"You run away as soon as you see us, so you don't have a chance to say anything."

"It's my fault, it's my fault. Please don't make things difficult for me. You can find out what happened here by asking around at the dock. I really wouldn't dare to lie."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Kang tossed him a silver ingot.

"enough?"

"Enough is enough!"

The old fisherman immediately beamed and said, "Actually, it was just a few young masters from official families. They heard that a mysterious expert had appeared here and became curious, so they came to check it out. They didn't find anyone at first, but for some reason, Hei Zi kept guarding this place and wouldn't say anything when asked. Those young masters felt looked down upon, so..."

At this point, Shao Ziping and Qiao Lingwei had lost interest.

It turns out it was just a bunch of spoiled brats playing around. Oh well, whatever, it's none of my business.

However, Ye Kang spoke coldly: "So what?"

The old fisherman sighed and said, "You guys should go to the dock and see for yourselves. Even if we, the villagers, have complaints, what can we do..."

Ye Kang didn't make things difficult for him and nodded, saying, "Alright, then let's part ways here."

His expression was cold and his tone was stern. Qiao Lingwei and Shao Ziping almost instantly realized the seriousness of the situation.

This gentleman seems a little angry?

They immediately said, "Young Master Ye, you're too kind. Your business is our business. We have some influence in Poyang City. Why don't we go together? Perhaps we can be of some help."

Ye Kang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright, then thank you both in advance."

The three immediately headed to the nearby dock.

This place is called Jichuan Town, which has the largest wharf outside of Poyang City, and there are countless fishing villages nearby.

Ye Kang sat at the bow of the boat, his face remaining expressionless.

But Shao Ziping and Qiao Lingwei knew that this young master Ye had always been amiable, and his current demeanor clearly indicated that he was on the verge of losing his temper.

Is it because of this reed marshland, or because of that guy named Kuroko?
