Eternal Sword Monarch

"... Brother Yuan's words are reasonable! "    

"I wonder how many times more magnanimous he is!"    

Looking at these noisy "children." Xia Ling smiled and gave Second Miss a helpless look. He suddenly understood Xia Yanru's difficulties. Bringing such a large family to continue forward was simply too difficult.    

It was too much.    

The secret realm was opened outside the city, and the young disciples of the various families were the last to arrive. A few days ago, the main force of the three families had already made sufficient preparations. Whether it was the formations or supplies, they were all prepared.    

On the way out of the city through the Ningnan City, he would obviously run into cultivators from other families. Patriarch and elders of the Sun Family had already instructed their own disciples. This time, entering the secret realm, there were many heavenly and earthly treasures; however, the most important thing was to suppress the power of the Xia Family with all one's might!    

Adding on the fact that the most gifted young miss in Xia Family, Xia Yanning, had not appeared for a very long time, so their strength had been greatly reduced. When the teams from the other families saw the Xia Family, they couldn't help but sneer, flaunting their might.    

The other two families were cultivators with high level Vein Refining!    

They chattered and laughed. They exchanged their strength and flattered each other. But Xia Family's team, were deathly still.    

The people who had been arrogantly shouting at home had all quieted down, not saying a word. Even Xia Bingyuan lowered his head and quickly walked forward.    

This clear gap in strength was more useful than words. In the midst of the Xia Family, the atmosphere gradually grew downcast.    

Only Xia Ling seemed unaffected. He looked around with a nonchalant expression, seemingly quite interested in what he was looking at.    

Xia Ling had to take a look first to see which ones had higher cultivation. That would be great then. He would have to make a move when the time came. With so many people around, he couldn't just cripple them all, right? Then wouldn't he be exhausted to death?    

Before long, the large team formed from Ningnan City gradually arrived at a long and deep valley outside the city. The atmosphere here was tranquil. There were many high platforms and red array symbols carved into the cliffs. It had a lot of mysterious aura to it.    

There were countless yellow flags flying in the air. Strange symbols were drawn on the flags, and even Xia Ling couldn't recognize them.    

However, at this point, even Xia Ling's expression became serious. This formation seemed to be really amazing.    

He had originally specialized in sword arts and didn't know much about formations. However, Xia Ling's fiancee, Lu Mengling, was the direct disciple of Grand Dominance's guild. Grand Dominance City was also a school with a long history. Although it couldn't compare to the Super Sect back then, it still had deep roots.    

As for the Grand Tomb School, they specialised in divination and formations. After living for such a long period of time, even though Xia Ling did not say much about the depth of the formation, he still had quite a bit of skill.    

At the very least, he was still able to see how profound this formation was.    

However... Xia Ling frowned. From their description just now, it seemed like this secret plane was an illusory magic array. But now that he had seen the formation, why did it feel like a teleportation formation?    

If it really was a teleportation formation, then it was a shockingly large one. It actually used the entire valley as its formation!    

At this time, three people stood up on a high platform. They were all dressed like clan elders, with a black clothed, long sleeved, and long beard that fluttered, in the middle, belonged to a Lin Family Elder with an early stage Congealing Void.    

He was also the formation master of the Lin Family and the one who had opened the gate to the secret plane.    

"There's less gossip about the young generation of Ningnan City s. "This time's secret plane exploration is about to begin, this old man will once again reaffirm the rules …"    

"... Regardless of which mystic realm it was, many heavenly and earthly treasures would appear. Therefore, the most important mission for cultivators to enter the secret realm is to search for treasures and increase the strength of our three families, not fighting against each other. " However, he said this in a perfunctory manner, as if he didn't believe it himself. When did entering a city not cause one to fall flat on the spot? When had it ever been peaceful?    

This time, due to the surging of the dark waves, the battle would probably be even more intense. The Lin Family Elder thought to himself.    

"... In addition, there will be a Essencial Core Rank cultivator protecting the secret realm. " As he spoke till here, that Lin Family elder couldn't help but reveal a trace of arrogance. He used his powerful spiritual sense to cover the entire secret realm. At that time, those involved in the operation, if their lives were in danger, could ask for help loudly. He will pull it out of the secret realm. "    

The two elders beside him curled their lips as well. Every single time, they would say the same thing, but when had it not been for the people who had only saved your Lin Family? Otherwise, with the supernatural powers of the Yuan Dan Stage cultivators, how could anyone still die during the previous years of exploration in the secret realm?    

After chatting for a while longer, the crowd below the stage had already lost their patience. It was said that on this expedition into the mystic realm, a peerless level weapon had appeared! Once he got it, he would reach the heavens in a single leap! Who would want to hear a rotten old man spouting nonsense here.    

Even the disciples of the Lin Family themselves were showing signs of impatience.    

Finally.    

"... At this time, the array formation has been prepared. The secret plane exploration has officially begun! "    

Following Lin Family Elder's loud shout, the mysterious patterns on the cliffs on both sides of the valley slowly turned red. It was as if someone injected energy into the mountain, showing a grand scene that covered half of the mountain, pulsing like a pulse. Then a thin mist began to form in the valley.    

Xia Ling frowned.    

"Why are you so afraid?" Lv Yiliang, who was standing on the side, said in a sharp voice when he saw Xia Ling frown. My Ningnan City does not have a grandson as cowardly as you! "    

The people at the side, and even the younger generation of Lin Family s, all revealed looks of contempt. The scene when the secret realm opened was indeed a bit strange, but it shouldn't be enough to scare a cultivator, right?    

Xia Ling was still deep in thought, but the scenery in front of him had started to change. It was as if a yellow wind was blowing across the land, bringing with it a rough and unclear sound, enveloping the entire area. At this moment, he could no longer see the forest around him. The only sound that could be heard was the whistling of the wind.    

Wasn't this array's evil aura too thick?    

Although Xia Ling didn't set up many arrays himself, the formations he had seen before were like the ocean falling into the ocean. His experience in breaking through arrays was so rich that it was enough for him to write a book. In addition to his relationship with Grand Dominance's guild, he could immediately tell that this formation did not have a good origin.    

He sighed. Initially, he had thought that it was just a tedious mission. From the looks of it, he would be in for another round of suffering!    

The corner of Xia Ling's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Even with his cultivation, Sword Emperor could not help but marvel at such a rich and evil energy. It looked like he could only be an old friend. However, he did not know which evil cultivation sect was here.    

I'll be here for a while!
