The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

"Haha, Brother Ouyang, I heard you went into seclusion and only recently came out. How come I haven't seen any progress in your cultivation?"

The patriarch of the Shangguan family spoke first, his words full of sarcasm, clearly indicating that the two families were not on good terms.

"Shangguan Yu, stop being sarcastic. Aren't you just like me?"

Ouyang Tu, with his fiery temper, immediately retorted.

"Oh, I've hit a nerve! Unlike you, who's been stuck in one realm for almost 100 years."

Seeing that he hadn't gotten any benefit, Shangguan Yu went straight to Ouyang Tu's past pain.

Ouyang Tu was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he cursed inwardly.

That shameless old fox Shangguan Yu actually dared to directly poke at his sore spot, acting as if he were so great. Don't think you don't know about his dirty secrets.

"you……"

Just as Ouyang Tu was about to retort, a female voice interrupted him.

"Alright! We're all in the same boat, what's there to say?"

"Since we have all gathered here today, it is all for the opportunity inside. If we are fortunate enough to obtain the opportunity, we might be able to enter the Mahayana realm."

"It's still uncertain who will be stronger or weaker by then, so why bother digging up their secrets here?"

The speaker was none other than Murong Cangyue.

She reminded the two old foxes of the important matter at hand, and really didn't want to listen to the two old men arguing like children.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

The two old men gave a snort in perfect unison, turned their heads away from each other, and looked down on each other.

However, what Murong Cangyue said was true. They came here today for the opportunity inside. If they could not improve their cultivation, they would either die of old age at the late stage of the Void Realm or be destroyed by a powerful enemy.

These two outcomes not only affect them personally, but also their families. If they were to perish, their vast fortune would become a tempting target for others, with everyone wanting a piece of the pie.

At this moment, Murong Cangyue saw that the two of them had gone down the stairs she had given them, so she didn't say anything more to them. Instead, she looked at the cultivators below and spoke.

"Everyone, we have gathered here today for the opportunities within this secret realm."

"But as everyone probably knows, where there is opportunity, there is also danger. This secret realm is a moving secret realm."

"As you all probably know, mobile secret realms are extremely rare. They are not only rich in spiritual energy, but also contain countless spiritual treasures. However, they are also the most dangerous."

"It is impossible to predict how long this secret realm will be open, and there is no fixed entrance or exit. It will also suppress your cultivation level to the Nascent Soul Realm, and there are many powerful demonic beasts inside."

After hearing Murong Cangyue say that this secret realm was a movable one, some cultivators who knew the situation hesitated.

Upon seeing this, Murong Cangyue's lips curled slightly, and she continued speaking.

"But you should also know that cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven. If you don't advance, you regress. We have no choice but to take a gamble. If we are lucky enough to survive, then we will surely gain something."

"Inside are rare spiritual plants and herbs, spirit beast cores, and even the treasures and inheritances of some fallen predecessors."

Upon hearing Murong Cangyue's words, those who had been hesitant instantly became resolute; their greed ultimately triumphed over their inner fear.

However, a small number of people still felt something was amiss, and their eyes showed some hesitation.

On the other hand, Qingwu and the others felt something was off. They felt that Murong Cangyue was trying to deceive them, and she only gave some vague information without explaining the specific situation or danger.

Qingwu and Hao Anqi exchanged glances. Hao Anqi noticed the questioning look in Qingwu's eyes and gently shook his head.

Both men had solemn expressions. The two men beside them also noticed their situation and knew that this trip was probably not simple. They were also deep in thought.

Yu Bingwen wanted to use his divine sense to inquire, but when he saw the three elders above him, he gave up. If they noticed anything, he and his uncle would probably be done for today.

Qingwu thought to herself that she could understand why they didn't tell her the details even though they knew a lot about the situation. After all, the most dangerous thing in the cultivation world was the human heart.

But the other party spoke ambiguously, with a hint of temptation, as if they wanted them to deal with the Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts inside. This seemed to make sense, since she hadn't mentioned anything about demonic beasts. But something still felt off.

Could it be that they know something about that inheritance, but Hao Anqi happens not to know, or perhaps they simply sent them in as cannon fodder to scout ahead, which is why so many people are needed, because they don't want their own family members to die.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She decided to just deal with whatever came her way and figure it out once she got inside.

Hao Anqi, who was next to her, also felt that Murong Cangyue was seducing him. Although it was a common thing in the cultivation world, and many people would lure ignorant cultivators to become cannon fodder, he felt that something was strange.

They clearly knew that there were not only spirit beasts inside, but also demon beasts. Bringing them in couldn't have been solely to deal with those Nascent Soul stage demon beasts. Hao Anqi had a premonition that it might also be related to the inheritance.

Standing next to his sect leader, Chen Suili felt uneasy seeing the sect leader exchanging glances with the woman. Seeing their somber expressions, he felt they knew something he didn't. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. However, he also knew from their reactions that this trip would not be easy, and he had to be wary of the three above him and their clansmen.

While the four of them were deep in thought, Murong Cangyue above continued speaking.

"Our three great families are well aware of the dangers of this secret realm, but we feel that it is too perilous for our own clans to venture into this unknown place alone. Therefore, we have gathered you all here, not only to share this news with you, but also to see what opportunities await you."

"If we don't have that kind of luck, our descendants probably won't gain anything even if they go in. I, along with the two patriarchs of the Shangguan and Ouyang families, have decided to summon everyone."

"Firstly, it's to do you a favor, hoping that you will take good care of our juniors while we are in the secret realm."

"Secondly, this mobile secret realm is extremely rare, and it also depends on your luck. We are all cultivators, and if our three great families encounter difficulties in the future, we hope that you can help us out of consideration for today's kindness."

After Murong Cangyue finished speaking, everyone understood their intentions: to protect their family members and to win over anyone who might have a great opportunity to succeed.

A small number of people were initially uneasy, but now that the other party had revealed their purpose, they felt relieved. After all, such schemes are very common in the cultivation world, as neither side loses out.

The others below echoed in agreement.

"Senior Murong, please rest assured. We are indebted to you today. If your clansmen are in trouble in the secret realm, we will not stand idly by."

"That's right, if we are fortunate enough to have this opportunity, we will never forget the kindness we have shown you today."

Murong Cangyue nodded in satisfaction and exchanged a glance with the other two elders.

At this moment, there was a sudden disturbance in the secret realm. Everyone felt waves of spiritual energy coming towards them and activated their spiritual energy protective shields.

The three elders immediately took action to protect their family members, and my spiritual energy wave subsided after a while.

"The secret realm has opened, everyone hurry and find the entrance."

Murong Cangyue spoke, and everyone flew off to search for the entrance.
