"The Secret Realm has opened..."

"It seems there's no danger! Several puppets are doing just fine!"

"Let's wait for now, see what happens..."

The Secret Realm Gate opened, and Qin Fang stood there motionless with several puppet persons... Even though he wanted to step in, he remained low-key without a command, as the Demon Sect disciples were also in a dilemma.

"Puppets, enter the Secret Realm..."

After a brief consideration, Quan Senior Brother immediately gave the order, and the puppet person closest to the gap in the Secret Realm Gate plunged in, followed quickly by Qin Fang and others.

Meanwhile, the Demon Sect experts guarding outside, except a few on the yacht, moved towards the Secret Realm Gate. After confirming that Qin Fang and others entered successfully, they too entered the Secret Realm one after another!

"Hey, why is one missing?"

However, when the Demon Sect experts entered the Secret Realm, they were surprised to find... one puppet person missing.

"Missing the old ghost Qin Yiwu..."

Someone quickly mentioned the missing puppet person's name, referring to Qin Fang disguised as Old Master Qin, who had entered the Secret Realm slightly earlier and vanished swiftly.

"Could it have been snatched by a Spiritual Beast?"

This seems like an undeveloped Secret Realm, with terrifyingly powerful Spiritual Beasts likely residing inside, perhaps in large numbers. Puppet persons, after entering the Secret Realm, naturally stood still without commands.

A motionless puppet person, even as powerful as a Supreme Realm Powerhouse, cannot escape the attack of Spiritual Beasts... let alone the weakest among them, Old Master Qin.

"This possibility is quite high..."

Thus, although no sign of Spiritual Beast activity was found here, it was still deemed so...

No one believed Qin Fang hadn't succumbed to Wan Ling Xiao Yao Powder, nor that it was ineffective on him, such thoughts wouldn't be popular even in the Martial World.

Consequently, the Demon Sect experts ignored Qin Fang's disappearance, instead forming a group to begin exploring the Secret Realm...

In fact, only a hundred meters away from their team, Qin Fang was hiding atop a tree with lush foliage, observing their actions closely.

"This Secret Realm... it might not be so simple! I'd better stay on the side watching, can't risk getting caught!"

Upon entering the Secret Realm, Qin Fang immediately sensed it wasn't as simple as he had guessed, and he slipped away instantly...

Although the Demon Sect experts controlled the puppet persons, they merely controlled them, rendering them dull and unfeeling, naturally avoiding unnecessary trouble for Qin Fang.

"This should be a Secret Realm that's already been developed... Yet, the Spiritual Energy here is so dense, it's a bit eerie!"

This was the spot Qin Fang found odd, prompting him to leave the main group with heightened caution.

He had entered several Secret Realms before...

From the abandoned mini-secret realm in Japan, the small island secret realm on the outskirts of the Penglai Secret Realm, the Minor Kunlun Realm at the outskirts of the Kunlun Secret Realm, to the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, disregarding useless ones like the Sea of Heartlessness.

Thanks to such experiences, upon stepping into this Secret Realm, Qin Fang could perceive the marked differences...

The Spiritual Energy here was extremely dense, yet his map scan showed not even a shadow of a Spiritual Beast, no trace of spiritual medicine, clearly indicating the Secret Realm had been developed, and not too long ago.

What exactly lay hidden within, Qin Fang was unsure, but he could be certain... there should be people within this Secret Realm.

Why are there people, rather than a strong Spiritual Beast king?

Despite their strength, Spiritual Beasts still prioritize the environment's development within the Secret Realm... Even knowing abstaining from killing would cause hunger, they wouldn't deplete resources selfishly.

Especially in such a densely spiritual realm, seemingly akin to the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm... Imagine the numerous Spiritual Beasts in the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, virtually everywhere, large and small, yet here not even a trace—truly peculiar.

Spiritual Medicines are the same way, although they are much rarer than Spiritual Beasts, Qin Fang's mini-map can monitor a two-hundred-meter radius around him. This is a very large area, yet nothing has been discovered... This is very unusual, unless someone has already picked them!

Overall, Qin Fang increasingly believes that this was a Secret Realm that has been developed before...

However, just now they blasted the Secret Realm Gate, making such a commotion, yet the other party did not react at all... There is definitely a problem here; perhaps the others are already gathering somewhere, waiting for them to fall into their trap.

Faced with such a potential crisis, if Qin Fang continues to play the Puppet role, that would certainly be too foolish...

Instead of exposing himself in danger, it's better to jump out of it first, to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... Perhaps this is how he will become the final victor!

The experts from the Demon Sect are also very cautious, Qin Fang does not know whether they have discovered the anomalies of the Secret Realm, but they are cautiously advancing towards the depths of the Secret Realm, always sticking together and not walking around randomly.

This way, they can most effectively maintain the combat power of their group...

Moreover, Qin Fang even noticed that the formation of these Demon Sect experts had significant considerations, surprisingly arranged according to the DuTian Demon God Formation... That means, should they encounter a crisis, they would immediately form a defense.

DuTian Demon God Formation is the most powerful offensive formation, but its defensive capabilities are also quite impressive... Combined with its terrifying attack, as long as they are not met with a top-class Spiritual Beast King, or human Supreme Realm mid-stage experts, their safety is still well assured.

Qin Fang doesn't care about the life and death of these Demon Sect experts, he cautiously follows them, always ready to pick up the gains... Of course, also ready to escape!

This is no joke; he is indeed always ready to escape.

The vastness of the Secret Realm, developed to this extent, the owner's power is probably also quite terrifying and definitely a Supreme Realm level powerhouse... The Demon Sect experts deploying the DuTian Demon God Formation can temporarily contend with such powerhouses, but Qin Fang alone cannot.

"Someone is coming..."

Just like that, with the Demon Sect experts clearing the path ahead, Qin Fang quietly followed behind until he spotted some figures.

"People from the Evil Sect..."

This discovery immediately made Qin Fang's spirit lift, but when he confirmed the origin of these people, Qin Fang's expression became exceedingly strange... The people who came were actually experts from the Evil Sect.

"Where did they come in from?"

This question not only puzzled Qin Fang, but also surprised these Demon Sect experts... "It seems that this Secret Realm doesn't have just one entrance, there must be another entrance somewhere else!"

The Demon Sect and Evil Sect people bumped into each other but the anticipated fierce battle did not occur...

Though both factions were quite hostile towards each other, they maintained a facade of politeness, as if they were good friends, with the leading Quan Senior Brother exchanging words and laughter with the Evil Sect expert Shi Qinglin.

Of course, both sides were quite restrained, keeping a considerable distance between each other...

It is unknown what they discussed, but soon both groups merged into one and began exploring towards the depths of the Secret Realm together... However, their camps remained distinctly separate, advancing together while equally wary of each other.

In such a Secret Realm, before discovering a common enemy, the "teammates" beside you pose the greatest threat... The Evil Sect and Demon Sect have never gotten along, just avoiding an immediate brawl is considered very restrained.

Expecting them to work together seamlessly is almost impossible!

Qin Fang, however, doesn't care much about all this...

As long as he is tailing to pick up the benefits, the addition of a group of people doesn't affect him much, perhaps even makes it more convenient.

"More people are coming... could they be from the Righteous Alliance?"

Soon, another batch of figures appeared on Qin Fang's mini-map, and he maliciously speculated.

Of course, this is impossible.

The Evil Sect and Demon Sect were driven overseas by the Righteous Alliance... So it's not surprising they are here to explore this Secret Realm! But rooted in the Mainland of the Dragon Country, not having fully explored even the Three Great Secret Realms, why would they care about such a small Secret Realm?

The Righteous Alliance has massive power domestically, nearly sweeping away all underground forces trying to enter the country, even the Freemasonry, Dark Council, and The Holy See's forces dare not step into the Dragon Country easily.

Correspondingly, the Righteous Alliance's overseas influence is exceedingly weak, barring the Green Gang, they hardly have any formidable forces... Even the Green Gang only relies on the Righteous Alliance and has no direct control!

"Damn, what a coincidence!"

Although members of the Righteous Alliance did not appear, upon confirming these people's identities, Qin Fang was still astonished, muttering, "Could this... really be the old lair of the Freemasonry?"
