Although the relationship between Yu Feilong and the other two seed solid, in reality, each of them harbored their own ulterior motives, fighting for their own interests. As the prohibitions on these treasures disappeared, their thoughts changed instantly.
They all feared being taken advantage of by others.
“It’s mine!”
“It’s mine!”
Such cries echoed in their hearts.
With a whoosh, one acted first, and the other two quickly followed suit.
They didn’t have to worry about Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying, who couldn’t escape. On the contrary, if they missed out on these treasures, it would be a real loss. Ti was of the essence and they had to grab as much as they could as quickly as possible.
With this thought in mind, the three of them were consud by greed.
Jiang Caiying, seeing that the treasures were within reach, was also tempted. However, considering her current situation, she chose not to act.
The calst of them all was still Yang Chen.
Watching the three frantically dig through the treasures, Yang Chen subtly moved his finger.
Then, the previously disappeared prohibition on the treasures reappeared in an instant, like a pair of ruthless, life-snatching hands. With a thunderous boom, the once lively Yu Feilong and the other two looked back incredulously, their eyes wide with disbelief at what was happening before them.
An enormous hole appeared in their chests, and flas burned around them…
Fear crept onto the faces of Yu Feilong and the other two.
The flas devoured their bodies, and they couldn’t resist, nor could they dodge or escape.
“No, no!”
“Ah!”
Screams filled the air as Yu Feilong and the other two tried to flee, but they couldn’t break free from the shackles of the prohibition.
In just a mont’s effort, the three were instantly killed, leaving nothing behind.
Undeniably, Yu Feilong and the other two were dead.
This left Jiang Caiying utterly confused, unable to believe that they had died just like that, while she had improbably managed to survive.
Jiang Caiying furrowed her brow, asking with an awkward expression, “Are they…dead?”
“It seems so,” Yang Chen replied with feigned shock.
The death of Yu Feilong and the other two was, of course, his doing.
He controlled the entire Secret Realm’s prohibitions. Now, in a situation where he couldn’t defeat them, he naturally had to make so modifications to the prohibitions. Using the treasures as bait was his plan.
He had to put on a show, because he knew very well that he couldn’t let anyone, including Jiang Caiying, know that he was in control of the entire Secret Realm! No one else could know about this, except for him.
Jiang Caiying felt sothing was very strange: “How did they die, and what just happened?”
“It seems they triggered so sort of prohibition?” Yang Chen speculated.
Jiang Caiying thought about it, and it seed to match Yang Chen’s description exactly.
However, sothing still felt off to her.
It was as if Yu Feilong had been in Yang Chen’s rhythm from the mont he arrived. Even though it seed that Yang Chen and her were on the verge of death, Yu Feilong and the others didn’t gain any advantage. In the end, they died confused and miserable deaths.
But upon further reflection, it seed that Yang Chen hadn’t done anything, and trying to connect him to these events seed too far-fetched.
Could it be that everything was truly just the result of Yu Feilong and the other two’s montary greed, triggering so sort of prohibition, and having nothing to do with Yang Chen?
Jiang Caiying still felt that sothing was amiss, but regardless, when she returned, she was determined to tell her master about Yang Chen.
With that in mind, she didn’t think about it anymore and simply said, “The deaths of Yu Feilong and the others at least ensure our safety. In fact, we owe you our thanks for this.”
Hearing Jiang Caiying’s emotionless gratitude, Yang Chen knew she wanted to thank him, but this woman simply lacked the talent for expressing gratitude. He replied, “Miss Jiang, there’s no need to be so polite. I haven’t really helped much. All I did was provide so elixir pills so that you could recover faster.”
“That’s enough. Anyway, we’ve been here long enough. I wonder when we can leave? The Tiandu Emperor never ntioned how to leave,” Jiang Caiying said.
“Anyway, let’s wait and see,” Yang Chen replied calmly, sitting cross-legged.
Little did Jiang Caiying know that the Tiandu Emperor had already perished, and his soul was scattered.
The Secret Realm was now under Yang Chen’s control.
Now, Yang Chen could let anyone leave the Secret Realm if he wanted to, and if he didn’t want them to leave, they couldn’t. The original rules set by the Tiandu Emperor no longer applied, and Yang Chen was the only one who had a say in matters.
Originally, the Tiandu Emperor had planned an assessnt period. For example, Tiandu City would only be open for ten days, with the assessnt ending on the ninth day, after which the geniuses would leave one after another.
Now that the Tiandu Emperor was gone and his soul no longer controlled the realm, even though his control could still continue the assessnt, Yang Chen was not so kind as to waste ti. He was just afraid that Jiang Caiying would discover her connection to all of this, and that’s why he wasn’t in a hurry to end the assessnt.
“Elder Yu Ban, in a while…” Yang Chen secretly communicated with Yu Ban.
About a day passed.
One day later, Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying were cultivating together inside the second floor of the Tiandu Palace.
Then, Yu Ban’s voice slowly rang out, “The assessnt is over for everyone. I’ll arrange for all of you to leave Tiandu Palace. Additionally, I’ll limit you to three hours to leave. After that, Tiandu City will sink into the ground. If you don’t leave, you’ll be buried with the city for a thousand years.”
“In addition, the Tiandu Palace assessnt has ended, and this Secret Realm will only remain open for another two days. If anyone hasn’t left by then, don’t bla for being rude.”
Yu Ban’s voice, feigning to be the Tiandu Emperor, was naturally done at Yang Chen’s command.
In an instant, Yang Chen controlled the prohibitions, relocating himself and all the other geniuses out of the Tiandu Palace and into Tiandu City.
These geniuses didn’t dare to take Yu Ban’s words lightly.
Moreover, the fact was that if they didn’t leave Tiandu City, Yang Chen really had the ans to keep them trapped there for a thousand years.
“The assessnt is over.”
“Let’s leave as soon as possible to avoid breaking any rules.”
In a flash, none of the geniuses dared to linger. In just a mont, people were running and walking away, quickly leaving Tiandu City, leaving it completely deserted and devoid of any human presence.
Yang Chen and Jiang Caiying, however, appeared incredibly calm.
At this mont, Jiang Caiying looked deeply at Yang Chen and said with a bow, “Yang Chen, your talents far surpass those of ordinary people, and North Mountain County can’t hold you. Although I don’t know what you and your master are doing here, I believe that you can only spread your wings on a larger stage.”
