Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

Upon hearing Xu Muge's words, everyone gasped in surprise.

This reason is both unexpected and reasonable.

There were already Xuan Dan realm demon beasts in the secret realm. Although these disciples were geniuses, it was still very dangerous for them, who were only at the Nascent Soul realm, to face a group of Xuan Dan realm demon beasts.

"I never expected it would be because of a Xuan Dan realm demon beast."

"It seems that every few decades, a large number of Xuan Dan realm demonic beasts will appear in the secret realm. This is inevitable."

"Yes, the spiritual energy in the secret realm is abundant, and the flow of time is different. If the rules of heaven and earth were not incomplete, there would definitely be more powerful monsters appearing."

"What a pity for so many outstanding disciples from Lingyue Sect and Taixu Sect."

"In this light, I've managed to escape unscathed by not getting a spot."

Seeing that the Lingyue Sect was doing the same thing, the elders of the Taixu Sect had much less suspicion of them.

There was nothing wrong with Wanbaoge and the royal family; it was just normal losses.

But the Third Prince frowned because his cousin, Chu Zhengyan, had not come out. He went to the front of the royal procession.

"Which of you encountered Chu Zhengyan?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

The Third Prince suppressed his anger.

Even if his own younger brother died, the Third Prince would not be angry, but Chu Zhengyan was different.

He was the son of the Prince of Zhennan of the Great Chu Dynasty. He entered the secret realm on his own, but now he is dead inside.

Although the Prince of Zhennan wouldn't directly cause him trouble, he would definitely be dissatisfied with him, which was not what he wanted to see.

Unfortunately, he still had no way to find out the truth or find the scapegoat, which left the Third Prince with a belly full of anger and nowhere to vent it.

Suddenly, he thought of his collaboration with Chu Zhengyan.

The Third Prince found Xu Luo in the crowd and appeared in front of him instantly.

Have you seen Chu Zhengyan?

Before entering the secret realm, the Third Prince and Chu Zhengyan reached a cooperation agreement. The Third Prince helped him secure three spots, and Chu Zhengyan helped him find Xu Luo in the secret realm and win him over. If Xu Luo disagreed, Chu Zhengyan would eliminate him.

Therefore, the Third Prince believed that Chu Zhengyan might die at Xu Luo's hands.

The Third Prince stared intently at Xu Luo, emanating a powerful aura that seemed to freeze the surrounding air.

If Xu Luo were an ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, being stared at like that by the esteemed Third Prince would have terrified him and told the truth.

But Xu Luo is a reborn person.

He had seen and even killed many people with higher status and greater strength than the Third Prince, so this kind of scene was useless to him.

Xu Luo remained calm, offering a question instead of an answer.

"Who is Chu Zhengyan? I don't know him."

The Third Prince stepped forward and asked in a cold voice, "He hasn't contacted you?"

“I’ve always been alone, and no one has ever come looking for me,” Xu Luo replied, looking directly into his eyes without being humble or arrogant.

At this moment, Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan arrived at Xu Luo's side. Su Xinyan took action and instantly dissipated the Third Prince's oppressive aura.

This relieved Xu Luo. His strength was far inferior to that of the Third Prince, and he could only resist for a short while before he couldn't hold on any longer.

The Third Prince's expression suddenly changed, revealing a warm smile, completely different from his previous sinister demeanor.

"It doesn't matter if I don't know him."

He then invited Xu Luo to a dinner party, but Xu Luo declined, citing family matters. The Third Prince didn't say anything on the surface, but in his heart, he had already sentenced Xu Luo to death.

At the same time, the Ninth Prince saw that Xu Muge was safe and sound, and bowed his head to instruct Gu Yuanbai who was standing beside him.

"We can start implementing the plan we set before, but we need to add one more goal."

"clear."

Previously, they only wanted to eliminate Xu Muge as a potential threat, but now that they have discovered that the Xu family also has a prodigy, Xu Luo, they have decided to deal with him as well.

.....

The events that occurred within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm quickly spread throughout the capital, sparking much discussion among various factions. It was likely that the next time the Azure Dragon Secret Realm opened, fewer people would flock to it.

After learning what had happened from Xu Luo, Xu Qingzhou didn't dare to linger and immediately took Xu Luo and the Xu family members back to Yuhe City on Wanbaoge's flying boat.

Xu Muge returned with Lingyue Sect.

As Wanbaoge's flying boat entered Liangbei County, a majestic figure suddenly appeared above, his vast and boundless divine sense sweeping across the flying boat.

"Huh? The Xu family isn't on the flying boat?"

This person was the expert sent by the Third Prince to eliminate Xu Luo.

Unexpectedly, the Xu family members, who had left the capital on the Wanbaoge flying boat, are now all gone.

Helpless, he could only return to report to the Third Prince and make further plans.

When Xu Qingzhou learned from Xu Luo what had happened in the secret realm, he had Su Xinyan intervene halfway there, secretly leaving the flying boat and detouring back to Yuhe City.

They thus escaped a terrible fate.

Upon returning to Rain River City, Xu Qingzhou immediately began preparations for the Xu family's relocation to Lingyue City.

There are too many people watching the Xu family now. Rain River City is not safe enough. It would be better to move to Spirit Moon City as soon as possible.

At this time, Xu Muge also returned to Lingyue Sect and learned that all the disciples who entered the secret realm had perished. The sect leader was furious and summoned the elders and Xu Muge to inquire about the situation.

"Muge, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Xu Muge recounted in detail the story of the undercover agent and the ambush by the Taixu Sect, but he did not mention Chu Zhengyan.

The bad news is that all the Lingyue Sect disciples except Xu Muge were killed by the Taixu Sect. The good news is that Xu Muge avenged them, causing heavy losses to the Taixu Sect as well.

But the sect leader and elders were still furious after hearing this.

"Outrageous! The Taixu Sect has actually plotted against my Lingyue Sect in this way! No gentleman would leave this grudge unavenged!!"

If Xu Muge hadn't been strong enough and had more trump cards, he might have ended up in the secret realm forever, just like the other disciples.

The entire Lingyue Sect has invested a great deal in nurturing Xu Muge. If he were to perish in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm due to the enemy's schemes and plots, the blow to the Lingyue Sect would be unimaginable.

The sect leader said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect the spies from the Taixu Sect to be so rampant! We need to carry out a major purge. We must eliminate all the spies planted in the Lingyue Sect by other forces to prevent similar incidents from happening again!!"

"Not only inner disciples and true disciples, but elders must also be investigated!!"

The elders all echoed this sentiment.

The thought that their every move was under the control of the enemy forces, and that their fellow disciples who trained and fought alongside them might be spies planted by the enemy, filled them with dread.
