Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi
Chapter 81 Entering the Secret Realm

"Why not?"

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan let out a cold laugh, his icy eyes looking at him as if he were a corpse, and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then Xiao Yi may enter the secret realm!"

Wu Yu said indifferently, "I agree."

"I have no objections!" Jin Sheng declared.

Zhuang Bifan stood tall like a pine tree, arrogantly like a sword, "If he has chosen the secret realm as his burial ground, then let's fulfill his wish!"

The Royal Martial Arts Academy, Tianlan Kingdom, Nine Profound Sect, Mingjian Manor, and Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple all issued assassination orders against Xiao Yi. In everyone's eyes, unless a miracle occurred, Xiao Yi was never going to leave the secret realm alive.

Even Gu Junhe had a splitting headache.

Xiao Yi, however, appeared nonchalant.

Jiang Tai gave a bitter smile, "Xiao, you're being too reckless!"

Yue Ling'er blinked and looked at him with a curious, eager gaze, "Xiao Yi, should my Purple Robe Kingdom also issue an assassination order against you?"

Xiao Yi glanced at her, "As you wish!"

Yue Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "Never mind, I always feel you're too cunning. I'd better not get involved in this mess!"

Jiang Tai glanced at Xiao Yi, helplessly saying, "Xiao, don't stray too far from me when we're inside the secret realm, I'll do my best to protect you."

Yue Ling'er was stunned, then frowned, "Cousin, are you crazy? He is now the target of public criticism. In the secret realm, no one will care about your prince's status. If you protect him, you won't even know how you died when the time comes…"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Tai glared at her fiercely, about to speak when Xiao Yi had already waved his hand with a smile and said, "Jiang, once we're inside the secret realm, it's better for us to act separately."

"At least you know what's good for you!" Yue Ling'er said.

"Ling'er..."

Jiang Tai rebuked her, then frowned at Xiao Yi, "Xiao, what are you planning..."

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning cold: "Didn't they issue an assassination order against me? I want to see, in the end, who will be the one to assassinate whom..."

Yue Ling'er and Jiang Tai exchanged looks, both feeling a chill run down their spines.

"This secret realm is the tomb of a Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouse. The tomb is located at the deepest part of the secret realm. You must cross two hundred miles of dense forest and a poisonous marsh to reach the tomb," Zhou Yuan said, his gaze calm as he looked at everyone and announced, "The entrance to the tomb is sealed by our restrictions. You must collect tokens along the way. Only those who gather ten tokens can pass through the restrictions and enter the tomb. Inside the tomb, there are numerous treasures, as well as the inheritance of that Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouse. Everything depends on your own fate and effort, strive for it!"

Everyone was eager and excited.

This was the inheritance of a Tao Tribulation Realm powerhouse!

If they could obtain it, the Tao Tribulation was within reach!

Zhou Yuan's cold eyes lingered on Xiao Yi for a moment before continuing, "This journey into the secret realm is a matter of life and death! Anyone who is killed within the secret realm cannot have their death avenged by their backing powers. You all have no objections, do you?"

Zhuang Bifan and other individuals spoke one after another: "We have no objections!"

People's eyes, filled with schadenfreude, inevitably fell on Xiao Yi.

These words were meant especially for Xiao Yi and Gu.

Outside the secret realm...

People were wary of Gu, unable to act freely against Xiao Yi.

But inside the secret realm, there were no such restrictions!

"Since there are no objections, follow me to open the entrance to the secret realm," Zhou Yuan said calmly.

Everyone took action.

Led by Zhou Yuan, Gu and others jointly opened the entrance to the secret realm.

Everyone stood still.

Ye Feng's cold eyes were on Xiao Yi as he made a welcoming gesture, "Xiao Yi, you go in first!"

"We'll let you run ahead a bit, don't get caught by us, alright?"

"You're not planning to wait for all of us to go in before you back out, are you?"

People stared at Xiao Yi.

This was their worry that once they had all entered, Xiao Yi would no longer enter the secret realm and they would miss the opportunity to kill him!

Xiao Yi grinned and with a bold stride, headed toward the secret realm, "Then I shall impolitely accept the invitation!"

Whoosh!

He stepped into the secret realm.

A cold light flashed in Ye Feng and the others' eyes, "Catch up with him!"

"Don't let him escape!"

All of them surged forward.

Watching the gradually closing entrance of the secret realm, Zhou Yuan and his group looked at Gu Junhe with cold smiles, "Headmaster Gu can rest assured, I have already ordered my disciples to bring back Xiao Yi's body, to allow Headmaster Gu to give him a proper burial!"

"However, Xiao Yi has incurred the wrath of the masses, I'm afraid it won't be possible to bring back a complete body!"

"A complete body? The first thing everyone is going to do upon entering is kill him. I'm afraid by the time they return from the secret realm, Xiao Yi's body will already be rotting..."

"Hahahaha..."

Facing the provocation and mockery of the crowd, Gu Junhe narrowed his eyes, gazing in the direction of the entrance to the secret realm, murmuring to himself, "Xiao Yi... you must come back alive..."

...…

Inside the secret realm.

The moment Xiao Yi landed, he took out a packet of poison powder and scattered it behind him.

Having received the inheritance from Underworld Doctor Bian He, such poison powder was almost effortless for him. The instant he spread the poison powder, Xiao Yi activated his movement technique to the extreme, rushing wildly toward the dense forest ahead.

Almost simultaneously with his departure...

Figures appeared within the secret realm, all searching for Xiao Yi's whereabouts, "Where is Xiao Yi?"

"That damn dog has run into the forest..."

"Chase him!"

However...

No sooner had their voices faded than screams rang out, "Ah... my eyes..."

"My face... it hurts so much..."

"What is this? Damn it, it's poisonous..."

"That bastard Xiao Yi used poison! Everyone, hold your breath..."

Amid the agonized screams.

As many as seven or eight Shentong Realm strongmen died, their guts perforated and blood pouring from all orifices. Although this poison powder was fierce, it had little effect on those in the Golden Core Realm.

But for those in the Shentong Realm, it was a deadly affair!

Ye Feng and his companions were ashen-faced.

They had intended to kill Xiao Yi immediately, but not only did he escape, they also lost seven or eight Shentong Realm powerhouses from their own side.

Ye Feng's features twisted, "Xiao Yi, if I don't kill you, I'll write my name, Ye Feng, backwards!"

Zhang Tianyi's gaze was icy as he stared at Jiang Tai, "Jiang Tai, if you dare to help Xiao Yi, I will kill you!"

Dao Yuan clasped his hands together, looking every bit the enlightened monk, "Amitabha... Xiao is surely a devil born into this world, and we must act on behalf of the heavens to eliminate this evil. Master Jiang certainly wouldn't help him, right?"

The Heavenly Son Sword and the Dizi Sword stood side by side like twin brothers, speaking in unison, "Whoever aids Xiao Yi shall be killed!"

Jiang Tai snorted coldly and disappeared into the forest.

Yue Ling'er said with a smile, "Everyone, relax, I, Yue Ling'er, will not take sides!"

With a wave of her hand, she led the strongmen of Purple Robe Kingdom deeper into the forest.

Dao Yuan stood before the crowd with his hands clasped, and a series of talismans with Buddhist seals dropped into their hands. He said cheerfully, "These talismans are Thousand-Mile Tracking Talismans; once tagged by them, one cannot escape the tracking of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Just sight Xiao Yi and crush the talisman to mark his whereabouts!"

"With these talismans, Xiao Yi is bound to die!"

"It's somewhat amusing, like a cat catching a mouse!"

The crowd laughed heartily as they surged into the dense forest.

Under the dim light, from a distance, the forest looked like an ancient giant beast, slowly swallowing them into its belly…
