CHAPTER 191: 191 - SECRET REALM OF THE SUPREME BEAST (02)

"Oh, you know my family?" Zhenyu asked, not noticing the deadly smile that appeared on Qingyi’s lips.

"Almost nothing, this humble one comes from the outer region and heard rumors about your great and powerful family when he arrived here."

The smile on Qingyi’s face took on a gentle, soft tone as he bowed subtly, stroking Lei Zhenyu’s ego.

"Oh, of course you heard, hahaha." The young master laughed.

"Now that you mention it, our family has a marriage treaty with a woman from the outer zone, I honestly don’t know why father hasn’t gone after her yet." Zhenyu said nonchalantly.

"I’ve heard that she’s a beauty to make the heavens fall, my father is truly a lucky man. I think her name is... uh... Qingxue? Have you ever heard of it?"

"I beg your pardon, young master Zhenyu, the outer region is very large and this humble one has never met such a beauty..." Qingyi lowered his head.

That was all the confirmation he needed to get rid of those bastards, but he didn’t act immediately.

It was better to get as much information as possible before that.

" Good," Zhenyu cracked a broad smile as he turned to a thin man and a woman of ordinary beauty, "these are Tianjie and Xiaoyu."

"It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m Long Qingyi." The handsome young man introduced himself to them.

Tianjie merely turned his face away disdainfully while Xiaoyu flashed a seductive smile in his direction.

"It’s hard to find such handsome men around here, what do you say we go out for a bite to eat after the secret realm?" She bent down, showing a little more of her cleavage.

Qingyi only glanced briefly at her information screen before shaking his head.

No way, with those traits, that woman probably had so many STDs that she could be considered a walking biological weapon.

Perhaps not even the poison and disease resistance of his bloodline would save him.

He wasn’t crazy about diving into that trap, especially when he had dozens of incomparable beauties just a thought away.

"So, would you like to join us?" Zhenyu changed the subject, noticing the awkward expression on Qingyi’s face.

"Of course, but could young master Zhenyu explain to me why he needs a group in the first place?" Qingyi asked as he followed Zhenyu’s gaze to one of the highest mountains rising above the forest.

"Have you ever heard of the Purple Death?" Zhenyu asked, forcing out a mysterious voice.

"No." Qingyi shook his head.

"It’s a beast that spits fire and is sealed in that mountain, it’s called the Purple Death because of its eyes.

They say that hundreds of powerful disciples and even one of the ten most talented in the sect have died in its clutches, our aim is to take it." Zhenyu puffed out his chest proudly.

"Of course, you don’t have to come if you’re scared, I understand that feeling."

"No, I’ll accompany you. But could I know what your plan is?" He asked, curious about such a beast.

Naturally, he wasn’t afraid, even if this beast was at the peak of the crystalline core realm, the maximum allowed in that secret realm, Qingyi still had the confidence to win with his lineage projection.

"Perfect." The young master’s face lit up.

"About my plan, it’s a scroll with a matrix that I got from my father, powerful enough to take down any high-level monster."

Qingyi still had his doubts about that plan, but in the end, he just followed them.

As Zhenyu was the only one there who was at the crystalline core realm and had the ability to fly, he took care of mapping out the path ahead while the others jumped from one tree to the next.

"Qingyi..." A voice appeared in Qingyi’s mind, strangely, it wasn’t Ruxue’s.

"Elize? Can you talk to me too?" Qingyi raised an eyebrow, as far as he knew, only Ruxue maintained direct contact with him while in the world of the mind.

"Yes, the ancestor has a technique that allows us to connect with you as she does. I..." Elize hesitated, her voice filled with a certain strangeness.

"What is it?" Qingyi asked, a little concern appearing on his face.

"I’ve been feeling a strange energy ever since you arrived in this place, and it’s getting stronger now."

Those words only made the worry and doubt in Qingyi grow even deeper.

He tried to sense the Qi around him and even activated his draconic eyes, but he felt nothing.

Everything was normal.

"Do you need me to be with you?" he asked, but the purple-haired beauty refused.

She just wanted him to know that.

Qingyi shook his head and continued jumping over the trees.

Whatever it was, he would find out when he reached that mountain.

After another hour’s journey, they finally stopped at the foot of the mountain, in front of a large cave, its stony walls covered in horrible claw marks.

"Brother Zhenyu, a-are you sure about this?" Tianjie asked as he looked at the deep marks tearing through the solid rock.

"Relax, big head." Xiaoyu grabbed Tianjie’s arm, who blushed deeply as she pressed herself against him.

"If we succeed, I promise to reward you well~~"

Qingyi and Zhenyu just ignored Xiaoyu’s flirting as they entered the cave.

"There shouldn’t be any other danger here, most spirit beasts avoid this place, but I still recommend keeping a high guard." Zhenyu warned.

After a few more minutes of walking, they finally stopped.

In front of them was a huge stone gate covered in strange but powerful spirit arrays.

On the other side, heavy breathing could be subtly heard.

Kneeling down, Zhenyu waved his hand and a huge scroll appeared in the air. Grabbing it, he immediately opened it while smiling at Qingyi, who was focused on the gate.

"You know, that’s quite an interesting type of formation, my father created it himself.

It shouldn’t kill a beast of the Purple Death level, but it should still stun it long enough for us to be able to immobilize it."

The smile on the Lei family’s young master’s face stretched even wider.

"But... there’s one little problem." He stood up, gripping the hilt of his sword. "We need a small blood sacrifice."

Before Qingyi could even reply, Zhenyu swung his sword, his Crystalline Core Realm aura exploding with maximum power as his blade tore through the air towards Qingyi’s neck.

He expected an explosion of blood and a clean cut, but unfortunately, that’s not what happened.

His sword suddenly stopped and Qingyi’s cold, bloodshot eyes focused on him.

"As they say... a son of a bitch is sometimes a son of a bitch too."

The moment after Qingyi’s words, a metallic clang echoed as Zhenyu’s sword shattered between his fingers.
