Chapter 1008: Chapter 128: Secret Realm
“Die!!”
Duan Yinghong furiously smashed everything in the room that could be moved onto the floor.
Outside the door, several servants trembled, afraid their family MASTER’s anger would fall upon them.
“Enough, doing this won’t solve any problems!”
Zhou Zhengchang interrupted Duan Yinghong’s impotent rage, by saying, “The pressing matter is to find the Liang couple, they are the real culprits…”
“This Zhao Yu, he only had dealings with them, and since the Ji Family is protecting him, let it be…”
“No!”
Duan Yinghong, furious, turned and said, “My son was so outstanding, how could he be killed by that pair of dogs, the Liang couple?”
“Someone must have helped them…”
“As I see it, Zhao Yu is highly suspect!”
“Right when I was about to take action against him, he immediately advanced from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the later stages—there’s definitely something fishy!”
Duan Yinghong said sinisterly, “Maybe, Zhao Yu was the one who actually killed my son…”
“What about the motive then? The Liang couple has a vendetta against us, but Zhao Yu doesn’t. Would he dare to provoke us?”
Compared to her, Zhou Zhengchang was somewhat more rational.
“Zhou Zhengchang, do you no longer wish to avenge our son?!”
Duan Yinghong screamed furiously.
Zhou Zhengchang, helpless, asked, “Then what do you want me to do?”
“Kill him—Zhao Yu must die. He has the strength to kill my son, and he’s had dealings with the Liang couple, he’s definitely involved. I want him dead!” Duan Yinghong’s eyes were bloodshot, emitting immense killing intent.
“He’s now become a seed, and he’s under the Ji Family’s protection. How can we kill him?” Zhou Zhengchang asked helplessly.
“There must be a way, there’s always a way!”
Suddenly, Duan Yinghong said, “The Foundation Establishment seed trials, aren’t they held every few years?”
“The latest trial, it can be held now…”
“A trial?”
Zhou Zhengchang shook his head and said, “The past trials, you know they are just for show…”
“Hmph!”
Duan Yinghong snorted coldly, “The rules of the trial, you think you can’t manipulate them?!”
“This…”
Zhou Zhengchang hesitated.
The Foundation Establishment seed trial wasn’t considered a big deal, but if he wanted to change the rules, the cost would be too great.
If it were to catch the real culprits, the Liang couple, then the cost would be justified, but for Zhao Yu alone, it seemed unnecessary.
However, looking at Duan Yinghong’s irrational eyes, Zhou Zhengchang sighed helplessly.
“I know. I will speak to my father and try to change the rules for this Foundation Establishment seed trial…”
“Good!”
Duan Yinghong revealed a cruel smile, “I want Zhao Yu to die in the trial…”
“Just in case, set the rules so that he can’t escape the trial that quickly…”
…
After Zhao Yu moved to his new home, his life gradually stabilized.
Although Sun Lele was added, after a brief interaction, Zhao Yu found that she seemed to be a homebody, only moving a bit when she needed pills; otherwise, she was daydreaming, and he didn’t know what she was thinking.
Just when Zhao Yu thought he would have a period of peaceful life, trouble struck again.
That day, right after he finished refining a batch of pills, he received a Sound Transmission Talisman from Wu Yong.
“It’s not good, the Zhou family, to target you, modified this year’s Foundation Establishment seed trial…”
“Seed trial?”
Zhao Yu was puzzled, having already become a seed, why was there still a trial?
“It’s said to help the Foundation Establishment seeds quickly advance to the Golden Core, ordinarily, this trial was just a formality, distributing Nascent Soul Spiritual Items…”
“But this year, the Foundation Establishment seed trial has changed…”
“Each Foundation Establishment seed can bring four Foundation Establishment companions into the secret realm…”
“Each person carries a token, and in life-threatening moments in the secret realm, they can crush the token to leave…”
“However, according to the rules, seed participants must place in the top hundred, or they will be stripped of their seed status…”
Zhao Yu was infuriated upon hearing this, not expecting that even after becoming a seed, that Duan Yinghong would not let him go.
“What a vile woman!”
At that moment, Zhao Yu’s normally good temper shattered, wishing he could kill Duan Yinghong right then.
He quickly sent a Sound Transmission Talisman to Ji Gang to inquire about the situation.
The information he received was pretty much the same as Wu Yong’s, if not more detailed.
Zhao Yu was, after all, brought in by Ji Gang and counted as his personal achievement, so he was patient and explained the details of this trial to Zhao Yu.
“There are five hundred competitors in total, you only need to be among the top hundred to succeed…”
“For this trial, I will send four people from the Ji Family to accompany you, they will protect you, so don’t worry about retaliation from the Zhou family…”
“Moreover, in this entry into the secret realm, the Ji Family will include other members, totaling nearly a hundred people…”
Ji Gang said a lot, primarily to calm Zhao Yu, urging him not to panic.
After saying all this, Ji Gang began to introduce the details of the secret realm.
“The secret realm is established by our Shu Mountain to cultivate disciples…”
“Originally, this secret realm belonged solely to the Zhou family, but this time Zhou Zhengchang, in order to retaliate against you, actually spent quite a bit of resources, thus making it the trial venue, benefiting others because of you…”
“There is a cultivation restriction within the secret realm; only those in the Foundation Establishment can enter, so you don’t have to worry about Golden Core stage assassins…”
