The Story Never Ends
Chapter 141 - Entering The Secret Realm

In the mission hall,

All the disciples had gathered and were listening to the old elder in the middle.

"I think all of you have already known about the Secret Realm," Elder Vance said.

"So, I won't be saying much about it. Just be careful of the guardians and especially don't fight with each other." He coldly looked at them as he was still furious with the earlier incident.

"We understand," they said.

"You all should know that we have bigger problems on our hands." He reminded them.

The disciples knew that he was referring to the devils. Thus, they nodded and had a solemn look on their faces.

Seeing this, he became satisfied and thought, "It seems like I don't have to worry about them."

Then he took out several purple-colored talismans from his spirit ring and threw them in their direction.

They caught it and saw different types of runes embedded in it.

"This is a talisman which can teleport you out from the Secret Realm. Since the Secret Realm seemed abnormal this time, we decided to give this to you all," He explained.

"Thank you, elder," They thanked him wholeheartedly and were full of smiles.

"Ok, now all of you can leave. Tomorrow make sure to assemble at the foot of the Sect Master's Peak early in the morning," He ordered.

The disciples bowed and began leaving.

Davion was also in the group, and the girls were ahead of him. They were chatting with each other and ignoring him on the way. They looked like good friends who had met after a long period of time.

"There is really something wrong about this girl." Davion thought as to who in the right mind would dare to attack Nora this boldly? Even Leyla didn't dare to do so with her mother backing her.

While he was thinking deeply, he was all of a sudden awakened by Olivia.

"Ok! I'm leaving," Olivia said after reaching near a courtyard.

"Bye," Leyla waved her hands.

Davion didn't respond and just stood there while looking at her curiously.

"Haiz, it looks like someone is not happy here." Olivia sighed as she went away.

"Be cautious about her, Leyla. I think she joined us with some motive," Davion said.

"Humph, with her strength why does she need to fall so low?" Leyla didn't believe what he said. She was feeling happy thinking about how she managed to convince her to join them.

Davion shook his head and said, "Whatever…"

In one of the courtyards in the Inner Court Disciple Peak,

"Damn, how dare she?" Nora yelled and punched the mirror infront of her.

"Clang" The mirror broke into pieces and some blood dripped from her hands. In anger, she didn't even use her spiritual energy to protect it.

She then put her hands on her cheek, where the mark of a hand could still be seen, and made up her mind, "I will definitely kill her with my own hands. And Leyla too."

She couldn't believe that she would get bullied like this. After getting slapped, she could have stood up and fought back, but she didn't dare to do so in fear of getting beaten up again. So, she had to act like she had passed out.

"I've lost enough face today." she angrily left the courtyard and whistled.

Her mount came ahead of her in the blink of an eye and she jumped on its back.

"Let's meet my father. Only he can help me now." It understood and flew in the direction of the Elder's Peak.

***

The next day,

A crowd of disciples had gathered at the bottom of the Sect Master's Peak. Everyone was gossiping with each other and looked quite excited. In a corner, Davion was standing with Leyla and Olivia at his sides.

"Are you well prepared?" Davion questioned Leyla.

"Yes. What about you?" She asked back.

Before he could reply, Olivia suddenly spoke.

"She's here."

They glanced in that direction and saw Nora coming with Liam and many other disciples behind them.

"It looks like they will stick together," Leyla had her brows furrowed.

"Indeed." He nodded.

Nora also looked at them, but she didn't even say a word this time. Previously, she would have surely stopped there and mocked them. But now she was not in the mood to do so. She simply made a cutting gesture on her neck and stood in the other corner.

"Did she call her dad to teach us a lesson?" Davion joked when he saw her childish gesture.

"I don't think so. But I'm sure she will be planning something," Leyla said.

After a few minutes, when everyone had finished gathering, they felt a strange force surrounding them. And before they could react, they were all pulled up to the peak.

"Bang"

They all landed on the ground at the same time and immediately felt a powerful aura of heavens and earth gathering here. Then they saw a large decorated blue-colored gate with a hole in the middle floating in the air ahead of them.

Below it, there were ten people standing with an imposing aura and Davion managed to recognize two of them. Indeed, they were Elder Liliana and Elder Vance.

"Does it mean that all of them are elders?" He thought since it was his first time seeing them. The same goes for the other disciples too. However, they recognized many of them.

"Greetings, young disciples." A calm voice came through the air, and they saw a bald middle-aged man appearing infront of the elders from who knows where.

The disciples immediately bowed and called him in unison, "Sect Master"

The Sect Master smiled and asked, "Are all of you ready?"

"Yes," they replied.

"Ok! Now listen to me carefully. Although the old disciples already know it, the Secret Realm will only open for six hours and you will be automatically sent out after the time ends. So, there is no need to panic if you get lost. The next thing is to make sure you collect almost every treasure you can with your abilities. Even a small treasure is worth hundreds of contribution points." The Sect Master explained and reminded them of a few more things.

Only after a few minutes, did he stop.

"So, do you understand?" he questioned.

"Yes."

Seeing this, he nodded and yelled, "Open up the formation."

The barrier covering the whole sect slowly disappeared, and they again felt the same oppressive aura. But right now, it was far more terrifying than ever.

The Sect Master didn't waste time after this and took out a strange black colored key straight away as he knew that the disciples might not be able to take this aura much longer.

Then he threw it towards the gate. The key spun in the air and levitated a few meters above it. The moment this happened, the dark clouds in the sky started churning and a large bolt of lightning fell down to the ground. However, the key shined and absorbed it completely preventing it from striking the ground.

"Go!" The Sect Master waved his hands and the key dived down and entered the hole in the gate.

"Bang"

A loud sound was heard, and the gate slowly opened. The disciples gazed at it and could only see complete darkness.

"Now all of you can enter," The Sect Master ordered.

The disciples nodded and entered one by one in a queue.

From some distance, Liliana was watching Davion with a serious look on her face. She didn't know whether he could make it or not.

After a while, she saw it was his turn. So, she strengthened her back and was ready to go if something happened to him.

"It's my first time entering a space crack. Let's see what it feels like." Davion muttered and jumped into it.

He felt a huge suction force instantly pulling him somewhere and found that he couldn't move his body parts even if he used all his force. As a result, he could only go with the flow.

"What is happening?" Davion became shocked as he found that everything around him was spinning. After a few seconds, he felt dizzy and his head spinning. So, he closed his eyes and tried to remain focused.

After a while, white light could be seen behind him and Davion was being pulled towards it.

"Bang"

Davion entered it and crashed on the ground. Then he finally opened his eyes.

"My God!" He became astonished with the scenery of this place.

"Wew, it seems like he made it," Liliana sighed in relief.

"Hehe, Liliana, why is your expression changing frequently?" Vance chuckled from her side.

"Humph, you don't need to know," She replied.

"Is it because of that kid?" Vance whispered.

She then cast a cold glance at him as if waiting for him to continue.

"You don't need to hide it from me. I can already guess what you want from the inside," he said.

"Is that so? But do you think he will be able to get it?" She asked.

"I'm sure he can. However, will you share some part of it with me?" Vance had a greedy look on his face.

"No. You can forget about it." She rejected him without any hesitation.

"Haiz, you still have not changed after all these years," He shook his head.
