't help but gasp in astonishment. Wen Ding and Zhao Chengqi were particularly stunned, their faces full of disbelief.They just finished saying that alchemy is a time-consuming and very complex process..."Master, I admit you make sense, but if his head fell off, how could he still be alive"

After all, it was the Seven Star Assassins who made the move. It's highly unlikely they would make a mistake, right

Although Du Rushan thought what Du Shengkun said made sense, he still found it hard to believe.

Whatever happens, we need to prepare for both outcomes. It's better if he dies, but if he doesn't, we have to make sure he does.

"We absolutely cannot allow this person to live. Otherwise, in the future, they will pose a tremendous threat to our Du family."

Now Du Shengkun is determined to kill Ye Bufan, and it's not just about face for the Du family. The deeper he gets involved, the more he realizes how terrifying this young man is.

If it is not removed promptly, it will inevitably become a major threat in the future.

Du Ruhui said: "But Master, now the four stewards are all protecting him. If he's not dead, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to make a move."

"It's indeed tough out there, but once you're inside the Heavenly Net Secret Realm, it's a different story. Those old farts like Zhang He wouldn't dare follow."

Du Shengkun said, "Now send a message to Du Chong. If Ye Bufan is not dead and enters the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, he must be killed no matter what. He absolutely cannot be allowed to come out alive!"

The Du family has a core disciple named Du Chong, who has been astonishingly gifted in martial arts since childhood. He became a disciple of the Leiyun Sect, one of the Eight Star Sects, and is now a core disciple himself. This time, he also received the qualification to enter the Tiantuo Secret Realm.

Du Chong, being the grandson of Du Ruhui, hesitated for a moment and said, "Patriarch, is this possible Chong'er only has the cultivation of the early stage of the Nascent Soul."

If even the Seven Star Assassin can't kill that Ye kid, how could he possibly do it

Du Shengkun waved his hand. "This is different. If Ye Bufan can survive this time, there must be someone protecting him. But once he enters the Tianluo Secret Realm, he can only rely on himself."

"I also watched the newcomer's ranked matches. His cultivation was only at the peak of the Refining Void Realm. At most, he had some strange and unusual techniques, but he could absolutely not be Du Chong's opponent."

Du Ruheng said again, “But last night Lei Heng from the Leiyun Sect stood on Ye Bufan’s side. If we let Chong’er attack him, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to get past Lei Heng.”

"You're overthinking it," said Du Shengkun. "Who is Lei Heng He's the Grand Elder of the Bāxīng Sect, his status is very high, even Ye Bufan wants to flatter him but can't."

Last night must have been some kind of deal. Once it's over, it's over, there's no way to back him up anymore.

Besides, even if Lei Heng stood on Ye Bufan's side, so what

The Heavenly Prison Secret Realm is vast and extremely dangerous. Every time it opens, people perish within. Who knows what truly happens inside

Du Ruhui thought about it and agreed: "The head of the household is right. I'll pass the message on to Chong'er."

After he finished speaking, he took out a communication jade and sent a message.

The next morning, in the western suburbs of Daxing Empire's imperial city, a hundred miles away.

Here, mountains surround the area, with lush greenery covering every hillside. In a valley nestled amidst these hills lies a small lake, its water crystal clear like jade and its surface as calm as a mirror.

The locals gave it a beautiful name - Moonlit Lake.

This location is special because it is the entrance to the Heavenly Net Secret Realm, which opens every ten years and becomes quite lively during those times.

Although it wasn't yet the Chen hour, the place was already filled with many people. The vast majority of them were cultivators who had come to watch the excitement after seeing the new disciples' ranking match.

At the edge of Lake Mingyue, in the heart of it all, Zhang He and the four deacons have arrived.

Unlike the newcomer ranking matches, this time Qin Biyao, Zhong Limi, and Lei Heng each had four young people behind them. They were all core disciples who came to participate in this Heavenly Nether Secret Realm training.

Among the four people behind Qin Biyao, at the head was a tall and beautiful young woman, her appearance stunning but with an icy coldness. She had an aura that kept people at bay.

Shuǐ Yuè Lì, a core disciple of Tianshuige, had already reached the early stage of Hé Tǐ at just twenty years old. She has always been a key focus of cultivation by her sect, and this Tianluo Secret Realm training is no exception.

Behind Zhongli was a group of four disciples. Leading them was a handsome young man in white, with a long sword on his back.

He looks dashing and refined, with a handsome appearance. There's an undeniable arrogance in his eyes and demeanor.

Behind Lei Heng were four male disciples. The young man at the head, clad in black, was as robust as Lei Heng, and he was Xia Hou Ting, a core disciple of Leiyun Sect.

This person seems quite accomplished, but his eyes keep glancing at Shui Yueli beside him.

Beside him was a tall and slender young man, whose features bore a resemblance to Du Ruheng, the eldest patriarch of the Du family. He was his grandson, Du Chong.

On the other side, besides those from Suimu University, everyone else who was going to enter the Heavenly Net Secret Realm had already arrived.

Leading the way was Tuoba Yang, with Tuoba Shuang standing beside him. Behind the two stood Gaga Na and Hai Chenggong.

This lucky dark horse Shao Feng, who managed to enter the top nine this time, seemed extremely low-key. He stood alone quietly in a corner.

On the other side of Tuoba Yang stood a dozen people, unexpectedly all from Lingxiao Academy. Leading them was the Great Elder Zheng Wei, followed by Zheng Yiheng and others.

Many people looked over here with surprised expressions. After all, Lingxiao Academy didn't even get a spot in the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm this time.

Logically speaking, Zheng Wei should have avoided this situation. However, not only did the other party come, but they also brought so many people with them.

Of all the people present, Zhang He stood out the most. Today, he looked quite different from his usual self.

Today's Steward, a departure from his usual somber and gloomy demeanor, even changed his gray robe for a brilliant white one.

The whole person was even more refreshed and radiant, with a spring breeze on his face, and an involuntary smile appeared on his face.

Although everyone sensed something was amiss with Zhang He, no one dared to approach him for questioning out of respect for his high status and powerful cultivation.

Only Zhongli and a few others knew what was going on, their faces involuntarily breaking into smiles.

For a eunuch who had lived most of his life, the greatest joy would be to become a normal man. It is understandable that the chief steward would show such behavior.

Although there is still some time before the Heavenly Net Secret Realm opens, everyone present is eager. Besides Shui Mu University, all the others have arrived.

Hai Chenggong glanced at him with a frown and said in dissatisfaction, "The Tianfeng Empire really thinks highly of itself, making us all wait for them here."

In fact, what he said was just stirring up trouble. The Tiansluo Secret Realm has its own opening time, and even if they didn't wait now, they wouldn't be able to get in.

He was unwilling to accept that he had lost to Jiang Fangzhou despite having the upper hand in terms of cultivation on that day. This left him with a deep resentment and an intense hostility towards Shui Mu University.

Tuobayang's heart skipped a beat. He had wanted to bring this up anyway, and now that someone else had spoken, he could seize the opportunity to elaborate.

He took two steps forward and came before Zhang He, saying: "Grand Elder, the time for the Tianluo Secret Realm to open is approaching, but people from the Tianfeng Empire haven't arrived yet."

"If they don't arrive by then, shouldn't we have a corresponding plan in place"

In fact, he was very clear about the regulations of the Elders' Hall. If such a situation were to occur, he would give the decision-making power for the substitute players to their Tianfeng Empire royal family.

He is asking knowingly now, just to use Zhang He's mouth to tell everyone.

In fact, this rule is just for show and has never been used over the years.

After all, the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Net Secret Realm is extremely precious. No one would let it go once they got their hands on it.ng, rightAnd Ye Bufan and the others were both surprised and delighted. They were surprised by the fact that the Immortal Emperor's strength was so powerful, and delighted that they finally had a true...
