A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Not long after, Chen Hong returned to the Spirit Spring with a solemn expression and walked cautiously behind the Great Yuan Emperor.

He said respectfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Fang Lei and his group have not returned to the dynasty."

"Therefore, it is highly likely that they disappeared in this very place, near the sacred spring..."

The emperor's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this. "I understand."

Looking at the empty Spirit Spring before him, even as the only Venerable Realm expert in the Great Yuan Dynasty, he felt a distinct sense of powerlessness.

There was not a trace of source energy fluctuation at the scene. The Great Yuan King Realm, who obeyed the order to guard the spiritual spring, miraculously disappeared.

The entire Spirit Spring was unusually peaceful, with absolutely no trace of any battle.

Under normal circumstances, even if a Venerable Realm expert of similar strength were to come here and take away all the King Realm Origin Realm cultivators,

There would inevitably be traces of battle left on the field, but this pristine place of the spiritual spring has severed all clues.

Wen Yi and Chen Hong, who accompanied the Emperor, maintained a tense expression at all times.

There are seven or eight Great Yuan Kings left here to protect the spiritual spring, with Fang Lei, the leader, being a King at the eighth level.

They are extremely rare in the entire Yuan Dynasty. If we cannot find any trace of them, it will be a great loss to the entire dynasty.

If they can't find Fang Lei and the others, things will get serious.

What the three of them were completely unaware of was that the land beneath their feet, the spiritual spring, concealed a secret realm laid out by their predecessors.

All those who disappeared in the land of the spirit spring are now safely in the secret realm.

Time passed slowly, and with Fang Lei's encouragement, people waited quietly for the Great Yuan Emperor to come to their rescue.

But after waiting and waiting, no news came, which made the already anxious crowd start to get impatient.

Chen Yue asked softly, "Teachers, where exactly is the exit of this secret realm? Could you tell me first?"

The three emperors looked at each other with puzzled expressions when they heard this question.

Emperor Qianyun was the first to ask, "Do you know where the exit is?"

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head and said bluntly, "What exit? Does this secret realm even have an exit?"

Emperor Qingxuan said with a serious expression, "Exit? It seems there is no such thing."

Chen Yue's expression gradually turned serious. Even his three great emperor masters didn't know where the exit of the secret realm was, so how were so many people supposed to get out?

As time went on, some people began to think about moving forward, realizing that staying here was not a solution.

After waiting for a long time without seeing the Great Yuan Emperor rescue them, everyone guessed that the Emperor probably hadn't even come to this spiritual spring.

No one discovered that they had been forcibly sucked into the secret realm, and the only way to find an exit was for them to search for it themselves.

Relying on others will not guarantee an escape.

In the Xuan Yun Holy Land where Chen Yue was located, everyone's thoughts gradually changed. Rather than waiting to die in the same place, they decided to go out and take a gamble.

Although the road ahead is pitch black, you will never find your way out if you don't keep moving forward.

No one cared what treasures were hidden in this secret realm; all they cared about was how to get out.

Xuan Yun Daoist instructed the Holy Land, "Given the current situation, if we want to get out, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Those who are willing to follow me, step forward; those who are not willing to follow me, stay where you are."

Upon hearing this, the people from Xuan Yun Holy Land exchanged glances, wondering what choices the others would make.

After all, staying put is safer when facing unknown dangers ahead.

Chen Yue was the first to express his opinion on Xuan Yun Dao Ren's suggestion.

Chen Yue strode up to Xuan Yun Daoist and instantly made his stance clear.

Because Chen Yue was the only one among everyone present who could see the three Great Emperors, he knew in his heart that no matter what dangers he encountered in the secret realm, the three Great Emperors would come to his protection.

Therefore, Chen Yue was not afraid of the dangers ahead at all. Even though he came to this secret realm alone, he had nothing to be afraid of.

With three ancient emperors as backers, even if the one who set up this secret realm is a Saint Realm expert, it will be of no use.

Once one person has stated their position, the rest will follow suit and make a decision.

First was the Second Elder Mu Xin, who had just broken through to the King Realm, and then there was the Third Elder Yao Yu.

They all stood firmly beside Xuan Yun Daoist, following closely behind, along with a group of Sun Wheel Realm elders who had come to the scene from within the Holy Land.

Gu Jun, as the Holy Son of Xuan Yun, led all his core disciples and stood firmly on the same side as Daoist Xuan Yun.

None of the people from Xuanyun Holy Land chose to stay where they were; they all decided to follow Daoist Xuanyun to an unknown place.

Many of the other king-level forces, like Xuan Yun Dao Ren, planned to advance, but some chose to remain where they were.

Having made up his mind, Daoist Xuanyun led the people of the Holy Land and headed towards the unknown territory ahead without hesitation.

The king-level forces accompanying them all wore extremely tense expressions.

The Yuan Dynasty's royal realm also chose to move forward, as so much time had passed and the emperor still hadn't rescued them.

This is very likely something even the Emperor couldn't do, because the Emperor would definitely have noticed the problem with the Spirit Spring the moment the Source Power Barrier shattered.

He must have figured out a way to stop people from disappearing into thin air.

However, the fact that no news came from inside the spiritual spring indicated that even the Emperor, who was outside, was helpless.

Even Fang Lei, who had just spoken up to comfort everyone, made his own choice after some internal struggle.

Only by venturing into the unknown can we find hope of getting out; sitting still and waiting to die is utterly useless.

The fact that those king-level forces acted faster than him also greatly encouraged him.

Together with the rest of the Great Yuan King Realm, they followed the main force, step by step, into the darkness.

The three Great Emperor-level experts were on high alert, ready to intervene immediately should any danger arise ahead, in order to prevent unnecessary casualties.

Chen Yue's expression stood out from the others, who all seemed to be facing certain death with every step they took.

Chen Yue's steps, however, were very light, showing no sign of tension whatsoever.

Watching most of the people disappear into the darkness, those king-level forces who had originally planned to stay behind couldn't help but feel uneasy.

If the people ahead find the exit but don't return to inform them, they will remain trapped in the secret realm.

Although the road ahead is uncertain and life or death is unknown, it is still much better than being trapped in the same place.

Having figured this out, these king-level forces no longer hesitated and quickly got up to catch up with the main force ahead.

But after passing through one darkness, they were greeted not by another darkness, but by a dazzling and radiant dawn.

Looking back at the road I came from, it was still a pitch-black place that I couldn't see through.

People stood in this bright and spacious hall without any unexpected danger.

Two lifelike human-shaped sculptures are placed directly in front of it; from a distance, they look like two real people standing there.
