"Master!"
The young Daoist, seeing that Kong Qingzi could not even block a single sword, his expression changed greatly and he stepped forward.
He looked at Chen Fan, who was like a god or demon, and could not help but feel uneasy.
Chen Fan didn't even look at him, nor did he draw his sword. He simply waved his hand, his true qi surging and pushing the young Daoist aside, and strode towards Kong Qingzi and Yun Yaizi.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, outsiders cannot enter the Kunlun Secret Realm on their own!"
A voice echoed softly.
It was Yan Chongyu, who, after seeing Chen Fan's killing intent and pondering for a moment, stepped forward and said.
Chen Fan stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Yan Chongyu, his gaze as cold as ice.
Under Chen Fan's gaze, Yan Chongyu's heart trembled, and he quickly continued, "Even for us, to return to the Secret Realm, we must use specific means."
"What means?" Chen Fan asked.
"Two Realms Incense, and a special summoning talisman!"
"By means of these two things, we inform the summoner in the Secret Realm that we wish to return, and only then will the Secret Realm open!"
"Where are the things?"
Chen Fan asked.
"The Two Realms Incense is only possessed by Fellow Daoist Kong Qing. Igniting this incense requires a secret method, and only he can ignite it. Once the incense is lit, it signifies his approval!"
Yan Chongyu said, "As for the summoning talisman, I also have one. It is used to prove identity. Once the talisman is displayed, it shows that I wish to return to the Secret Realm."
"Bring it!"
Chen Fan's tone was one of no refusal.
"You do not need the summoning talisman."
Yan Chongyu said, "The summoning talisman is only effective for the owner."
"What exactly do you mean?" Chen Fan asked impatiently.
"Fellow Daoist Chen, why not put away your sword first and quell your aura."
Yan Chongyu said with a wry smile, "Allow me to explain it to you in detail."
Instead of putting away his sword, Chen Fan's violent aura intensified, his killing intent becoming more evident.
"The summoning talisman is equivalent to a ticket in the mortal world. If the ticket and the holder do not match, the gate will naturally not open."
Yan Chongyu said helplessly, "Since you do not have your own summoning talisman, there is only one way to enter the Secret Realm, and that is to have someone who can open the passage to the Secret Realm bring you in."
"It is like the matter of the Heavenly Chosen. All those who are chosen are brought into the Secret Realm by beings of the Dao Academy elder level!"
Chen Fan said coldly, "Are you implying that we must alarm the elders of the Dao Academy?"
"That is the meaning."
Yan Chongyu said, "The Heavenly Chosen elders within the Secret Realm possess such cultivation and authority."
"It is also simple to achieve this. Take Fellow Daoists Kong Qingzi and Yun Yaizi with you to the Jade Platform, and light three Two Realms Incenses simultaneously."
"Lighting three incenses at the same time, not just one, indicates that the situation outside is urgent, and a powerful enemy is attacking. The Kunlun Branch cannot handle it, and a powerful expert will descend from the Secret Realm."
Chen Fan withdrew his oppressive aura, held his sword, and said, "Wouldn't it have been simpler if you had said so earlier?"
"Once this happens, Daoist Brothers Kong Qingzi and Yun Yaizi will bear considerable responsibility. They will be severely punished, and they would not do it unless absolutely necessary."
Yan Chongyu said, "But Fellow Daoist Chen is resolute and cannot be persuaded. I can only speak these words on their behalf to prevent them from suffering more."
"However, I must remind Fellow Daoist Chen that once you do this, the Kunlun Secret Realm will regard you as an invading enemy. When the Dao Academy elders descend, they may attack and kill you immediately."
"The one who descends may very well be a Golden Core expert!"
Chen Fan nodded and said, "I understand. Let it be so!"
With that, he turned and walked towards Kong Qingzi.
"Senior Brother Kong Qing, please cooperate with this Fellow Daoist Chen, lest you anger him!"
Yan Chongyu said to Kong Qingzi.
Kong Qingzi's injuries were not as severe as Yun Yaizi's. He had already gotten up and heard the conversation between Yan Chongyu and Chen Fan. He smiled bitterly.
"I have only been guarding the Kunlun Branch for a mere few months, and I have been so negligent in my duties. I fear severe punishment!"
"Senior Brother Kong Qing, it is only punishment, which is better than losing your life, isn't it?"
Yan Chongyu persuaded, "Moreover, this Fellow Daoist Chen is powerful. This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Senior Brother Kong Qing."
Chen Fan glanced at Yan Chongyu, finding his stance rather strange.
Of course, he might be overthinking. This person was simply being pragmatic, knowing that he could not defeat Chen Fan and deciding to openly summon powerful individuals.
For Chen Fan, this was exactly what he wanted.
Since outsiders could not enter the Kunlun Secret Realm, this was the only path.
He would not retreat an inch before seeing Su Yingxue.
As for the danger of facing a Golden Core expert, he had already anticipated it and was fearless.
"Very well!"
Kong Qingzi sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, please wait a moment. I will go and get the incense."
"However, Fellow Daoist Chen, have you thought it through? Once three incenses are lit, you will be regarded as a great enemy invading Kunlun, and the Kunlun Secret Realm will surely try to eliminate you!"
Chen Fan said coldly, "Stop blabbering. I don't want to kill people."
Kong Qingzi shook his head helplessly and walked into the hall, saying, "Please wait a moment!"
Chen Fan had nothing to worry about. Kong Qingzi was essentially the gatekeeper of the Kunlun Secret Realm. Guarding the Kunlun Branch was his duty, and there was nowhere for him to escape.
Besides, Yun Yaizi and the others were here.
As expected, Kong Qingzi soon came out again, holding three incenses in his hand.
Each of these incenses was as thick as a child's arm, and the surface was covered with special runes.
Were these the so-called Two Realms Incenses?
"You surnamed Chen, you dare to cause trouble in Kunlun, you will die a terrible death!"
Yun Yaizi had recovered somewhat and, supported by the young Daoist, glared at Chen Fan and said hatefully, "The Kunlun Secret Realm has existed for over two thousand years, and never has there been such an arrogant and foolish person like you."
Chen Fan glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to die, shut up. Otherwise, I have to face the experts of your Kunlun Secret Realm anyway, so killing you first is not a big deal!"
Yun Yaizi's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth, about to retort. However, he swallowed the words back.
He dared not gamble that Chen Fan would really not dare to kill him.
"This way!"
Kong Qingzi made up his mind and became more composed, leading the way.
"Only by lighting the Two Realms Incense in a specific location can the summoners in the Secret Realm be alerted."
Yan Chongyu and Chen Fan walked side by side, and Yan Chongyu actually explained, saying.
Chen Fan remained noncommittal.
Walking northwest from above the bamboo forest and continuing up the mountain, Yan Chongyu continued, "Actually, if Fellow Daoist Chen trusts me, you can wait here quietly, and I can pass the message for you."
Chen Fan was taken aback and looked at Yan Chongyu, feeling even more surprised.
"Given Fellow Daoist Chen's age, to possess such strength is truly outstanding. It is a pity that you did not participate in the Kunlun Heavenly Selection."
Yan Chongyu said, "If we can avoid conflict, it would be good for both you and Kunlun."
"What is your motive?" Chen Fan said.
Yan Chongyu smiled and said, "Actually, half a month ago, an acquaintance of Fellow Daoist Chen's already entered the Kunlun Secret Realm."
"Wu Zhaohui?"
Chen Fan asked.
"Precisely him. He told me that Fellow Daoist Chen might arrive in the coming days."
Yan Chongyu said, "Why doesn't Fellow Daoist Chen consider this suggestion?"
"No need!"
Chen Fan rejected him indifferently.
