The Dragon Tiger Mountain of the past was completely unrecognizable.

However, Lin Chen still recognized some tattered billboards.

It turned out that the buildings on Blue Star had only been destroyed.

However, they were not completely erased.

And the main peak of the old Dragon Tiger Mountain site had turned into a towering mountain ten thousand zhang high.

Judging from the movements in this world, there were even many demon beasts on the mountain.

At this time, the brothers Huo Zhijin and Huo Zhili got together, took out the drawings, looked at them, and finally confirmed the mountain peak on the drawings.

"A bit tricky."

Huo Zhili said in a deep voice, "Just now, the sounds of the demon beasts coming from the mountain were extremely strong, probably at least in the third-rank realm. However, the map requires us to look down from the top of the mountain to find the entrance. Big brother, what should we do?"

"The demon beasts here are at least raised by those five families in the Imperial Capital. Now, the Shui family is already trying to get involved. Are we going to accept another big family? At that time, this secret realm probably won't belong to our Huo family!"

Huo Zhijin also looked troubled at this time.

Previously, the Shui family blocked the road. The two families had always been at odds with each other since their ancestors. This time, the Huo family was going to take the secret realm from the Shui family's territory, so the Shui family would naturally make things difficult. However, in the face of immediate interests, the two families finally reached an agreement…

The Huo family could take the secret realm.

However, the Huo family had to share it with the Shui family.

In addition, they had to pay a piece of iridescent soul crystal.

Huo Zhijin agreed.

Who told them that the secret realm happened to be in the Shui family's territory?

Sharing the secret realm only meant allowing the Shui family to unconditionally participate in the secret realm.

But now, if they had to add another family, Huo Zhijin obviously didn't want to see that happen.

"Then we can only discuss it with the Shui family!"

Huo Zhili said in a deep voice, "The two families join hands to kill or drive away that evil creature."

"Well, that's the only way… This matter is dangerous, so only those above the second-rank from both families will participate. Everyone else will stay in place at the foot of the mountain and wait for orders!" Huo Zhijin thought for a while and then said, "You said that this treasure map came from a sword manual, and the sword manual is a creation of Ni Chang. That person married into our Huo family for many years, and we tried several times, even doing many things, but we couldn't find any clues. It seems that her origins are not simple… I'm afraid we still have to bring her along."

Here, some past events were involved.

Huo Zhijin's face was a little dark.

And Huo Zhili's expression was also solemn.

"Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"

Huo Zhili frowned and said, "After we find the entrance, we may still need the bloodline of this girl to find the method to open the secret realm. If something happens to her on the mountain, it will create complications."

"Can we let her shed some blood… Forget it, what if her blood is useless, and we still need the person? That's troublesome." Huo Zhijin frowned and said, "Let's go up and see the situation first."

"Okay!"

Huo Zhili nodded.

Just now, when Huo Zhijin said he wanted to let Huo Ni Chang shed blood, Huo Zhili's reaction was also very indifferent.

Obviously, for the sake of the family's interests, he had no objection to letting Huo Ni Chang give some essence blood.

At this time, Lin Chen was still staying with Huo Ni Chang.

However, Lin Chen felt that something was wrong.

It was originally Huo Ni Chang's treasure map, but now, even outsiders from the Shui family had participated. But Lin Chen had been by Huo Ni Chang's side all along, and he had not seen Huo Zhijin and Huo Zhili summon Huo Ni Chang to participate in any plans.

"It seems that the Huo family really intends to directly seize this secret realm."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

However, this was not his business.

Even if Huo Ni Chang was his disciple.

And Huo Ni Chang?

She seemed to understand something as well.

"Master, Great Grandfather just ordered us to set up camp here… I want to complete the trial and officially become an adult. Do you think it's okay?" Although Huo Ni Chang didn't say it, it could be seen that the little girl still had some emotions in her heart.

However, she was also very clear about her situation.

So, she at least looked very strong.

She was even still thinking about the coming-of-age ceremony at this time…

It seemed that she really wanted to prove herself or become stronger.

In the customs of the Dragon Spirit Country, if one cannot hunt a level 100 demon beast Boss alone, then they cannot be considered an adult, and will always be a child. Although it is said that being a child is not a bad thing, they will be looked down upon.

Even, many things cannot be accessed.

For Huo Ni Chang, who had no parents since she was a child, perhaps just being looked down upon was enough to destroy all her confidence.

"Okay, go if you want to!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "With your current strength, as long as you don't rashly get close, dealing with a level 100 Boss is not a problem."

"Yes, I will definitely prove that I am actually stronger than them!"

Huo Ni Chang responded.

Stronger?

Lin Chen smiled.

Sure enough, the more inferior a person is, the stronger their desire to win.

The little girl's performance was like this.

Lin Chen didn't take it to heart.

He just waited in place.

After all, he might also have a chance to enter this secret realm.

Lin Chen was very curious.

What exactly was the secret realm left behind by the sword servant beside the ancient sword spirit?

Soon, fighting noises came from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

The noise was very loud.

It even became dark and gloomy for a time.

At this time, Huo Ni Chang had not returned yet.

Lin Chen looked around in the Huo family's camp, and also asked someone.

As a result, Huo Jinpeng, from the third generation of the Huo family, responded, "Hmph, Great Grandfather said not to run around, but she still dares to leave the camp? I think she has probably been eaten by a demon beast and died outside!"

Then everyone else burst into laughter.

There were also many cold words and sarcastic remarks.

"It would be better if she died. Is she worthy of the Huo surname?"

"That's right, she doesn't look like our Huo family's bloodline at all."

"She's already sixteen years old, but she can't even beat a level 100 Boss. What else can such a waste do besides eat and waste food?"

"…"

Lin Chen ignored all these people's words.

They were not talking about him, so it was not good for him to flare up.

Lin Chen thought for a while and still left the camp.

Boom!

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

Even, one could see dark clouds swirling around the mountain, and there seemed to be huge monster eyes shining in the clouds on the mountain. The battle became more and more fierce. Lin Chen followed the path into the mountain and searched.

He was very fast.

But after walking all the way, he had already gone deep into the mountain, but he still had not seen any trace of Huo Ni Chang.

"Could something really have happened? This little girl… Actually, there's no need to put so much effort into going to the top of the mountain. I have the Flying Sky Mouse!" Lin Chen thought in his heart.

He also suspected that the secret realm left behind by Huo Ni Chang's mother could only be opened by Huo Ni Chang.

Therefore, Lin Chen chased out to find her whereabouts.

At the same time, Lin Chen felt that the time seemed to be about right, so he summoned the Flying Sky Mouse.

"Go!"

Lin Chen released the Flying Sky Mouse.

Then, he closed his eyes.

At this time, in Lin Chen's mind, he could see everything that the Flying Sky Mouse saw.

On the top of the mountain, the Shui family and the Huo family were joining hands to deal with some demon beasts. Those demon beasts were all extremely strong, with the lowest being at the second-rank realm. No wonder they were fighting so fiercely.

The Flying Sky Mouse entered stealth mode when it was about to reach the top of the mountain.

It quietly came to the top of the mountain. Lin Chen, according to the location of the treasure map in his memory, asked it to look down from the mountain.

It was not yet sunrise at this time.

However, the trajectory of the sunrise could be guessed.

But there was no light shining.

Lin Chen could not see the specific location of the secret realm entrance either.

He could only remember the approximate location.

When the Flying Sky Mouse's stealth time was about to run out, Lin Chen hurriedly asked it to return to his side.

And he continued to move forward.

Suddenly, Lin Chen heard two voices talking.

"Big brother, why didn't father let us go up?"

"The terrain of this mountain is dangerous. Father asked us to guard here, of course, to support them."

"Then why not the Shui family?"

"Third child, you're really stupid! Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain it to you… Do you think going to the top of the mountain is to be a hero? Can't you feel how dangerous it is up there?"

"Hmph, I don't care! Anyway, this time, I can't let them take away my son and daughter's qualifications to enter the secret realm because I didn't go up! To be honest, father is just partial."

"Third child, that's enough!"

"Not enough! You're the eldest in the family, and father favors you in everything. I think that after this secret realm is obtained, it will definitely be your children who enter first, right? Father is really meticulous to you, big brother!"

"Third child!"

"Hmph, you don't have to be fierce to me. Actually, I know everything, you're targeting me. What Marquis's son? In fact, born in a family like ours, everyone's destiny is not something they can decide for themselves, right? Just like the fourth child of the second uncle's family back then… Big brother, don't forget that you still have the blood of our Huo family on your hands!"

"Back then, chasing after that slut was to eliminate a scourge for the family! Huo Yingqi was stupid. He wanted to save that slut himself. He knew that slut's origins were unknown and could bring ruin to our Huo family… Third child, you can't attack me on this point! I warn you one more time, the heir of the Huo family, whether now or in the future, can only be Huo Yingtou!"

Boom!

A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky.

Afterwards, heavy rain poured down.

At this time, Huo Yingtou shouted, "Who's there?"

Lin Chen saw a small figure not far away standing up and running.

Huo Ni Chang?

Just at this time, the Flying Sky Mouse landed, attracting the attention of Huo Yingtou's brothers.

Lin Chen took the opportunity to rush to Huo Ni Chang's side at an extremely fast speed, and jumped off a boulder with her small body in his arms, hiding behind it.

"Shh!"

Lin Chen held out his finger, making a gesture for her to be silent.

"It turned out to be just a beast. Big brother, do you want to chase after it and kill it?" Huo Yinghao's voice sounded.

"No, it's just a beast. It's more important for us to stay and support father… Third child, be smart. If you see Shui Jingtian coming down injured later, then don't be polite!"

Huo Yingtou's voice, all entered Lin Chen's ears word for word.

It seemed that the Huo family was preparing to double-cross them.

Dogs biting dogs?

Things were getting more and more interesting.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, attached the Flying Sky Mouse to his body, and then looked at Huo Ni Chang, but found that Huo Ni Chang was crying.

Tears and rain fell from her face together.

"Master, I'm fine."

Huo Ni Chang wiped her eyes.

The action was very skilled.

"Okay."

Lin Chen nodded and then said, "Let's go."

"I… I don't want to go back." Hearing this, Huo Ni Chang thought that Lin Chen was going to take her back to the camp, so she shook her head repeatedly.

"Follow me, I'm not taking you back." Lin Chen looked at the sky and said, "It seems that the sun won't come out today."

Huo Ni Chang looked puzzled.

"We have one more night to try our luck!"

Lin Chen grinned.

Then he took Huo Ni Chang's little hand and disappeared into the rainforest.

Roar~

In the mountains and forests, there were still demon beasts roaring.

But Lin Chen took Huo Ni Chang and left the Dragon Tiger Mountain, which was already ten thousand zhang high all the way.

He went all the way to the opposite side.

Lin Chen brought Huo Ni Chang to this place in the area he had seen through the Flying Sky Mouse before.

"Master…"

Huo Ni Chang looked at Lin Chen with a puzzled look.

Lin Chen ignored it and released the Flying Sky Mouse.

Then, his eyes closed tightly.

After another period of time, Lin Chen opened his eyes.

Afterwards, the Flying Sky Mouse returned and continued to attach itself to his body.

At this time, Lin Chen looked at Huo Ni Chang and smiled, "Girl, let's go, Master will take you to find back what originally belonged to you!"

Lin Chen had already seen the entrance.

Of course, he wasn't very sure.

Because what the Flying Sky Mouse saw was a broken boulder.

That boulder was probably more than thirty meters high.

It was very solid.

The Flying Sky Mouse couldn't move it at all.

It couldn't even cause any damage to the surface of the boulder.

But in the middle of such a solid stone, there was a huge fracture layer.

There must be something wrong!

That fracture layer seemed to have been cut off by a sword!

What kind of person could have such power with a single sword?

Lin Chen brought Huo Ni Chang to the boulder and looked at the crack, the front end of which had grown a welcoming pine, which just covered half of the crack. If you didn't look down from the sky, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

"It should be here."

Lin Chen looked at Huo Ni Chang and said, "Do you have any special reaction?"

As a result, Huo Ni Chang did not respond.

But she walked straight into the crack in the boulder.

Lin Chen was stunned and was about to follow.

But at this time, the crack in the boulder unexpectedly closed without warning!

"Huo Ni Chang!"

Lin Chen was shocked.

He hurried forward to check.

Where was there any crack in the boulder?

"I haven't gone in yet!"

Lin Chen was very speechless.

Damn it, miscalculated.

But at this moment, the boulder began to loosen.

In about ten seconds, the boulder disappeared.

Then, what appeared in front of Lin Chen was a floating…

Secret Realm Entrance!

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

In the next moment, he walked in without hesitation!

Swish!

His eyes closed and then opened.

Lin Chen saw another world.

At the same time, he also found Huo Ni Chang.

At this time, she was kneeling in front of a stone statue.

The stone statue was lifelike, carving a man.

There were also words engraved on the stone statue: Born a sword spirit, immortal and indestructible!

Boom!

Suddenly, Lin Chen felt a burst of dizziness in his brain…

With just one glance, he felt as if ten thousand swords were piercing through his pupils!
