Ye Liuyun and Luo Yu had been communicating through voice transmission without any verbal exchange, so they hadn’t attracted anyone’s attention. Even if someone noticed, they would simply assume that Ye Liuyun had been tempted by Luo Yu’s appearance and agreed to team up—no one paid it much mind.
They didn’t have to wait long before several large groups of martial cultivators arrived one after another. Among them, two groups were the largest in number and also the strongest in strength.
And among one of these groups was the Ninth Prince, Jiang Yunhan, walking and chatting with a young martial cultivator. Each of them had eight guards at the early to middle stages of the ninth realm following beside them. Behind them were over twenty martial cultivators at the sixth and seventh levels of Unity Realm, wearing various types of clothing—clearly all recruited members.
This group also had the most ninth-realm martial cultivators among all the teams.
In another group, there were also more than ten martial cultivators at the early to middle stages of the ninth realm, dressed in the attire of City Lord’s Mansion guards—obviously locals from the City Lord’s Mansion. There were also more than ten martial cultivators in various colored clothes who had temporarily joined this expedition team.
When Ye Liuyun saw Ninth Prince Jiang Yunhan, he felt a sense of familiarity; looking at him was like seeing a walking resource.
He guessed that the young martial cultivator beside Jiang Yunhan should be Cern Qifeng. And among that City Lord’s Mansion group, the middle-aged man leading them should be Sima Qianhua, son of the City Lord. Even if out-of-town martial cultivators had received news, they shouldn’t be able to arrive in time at this point.
The other few groups of martial cultivators each had around ten or more people with varying numbers and different attire—clearly all temporary teams that had rushed here.
Luo Yu was quite familiar with this place and even introduced these people’s backgrounds to Ye Liuyun, confirming his guesses as well.
"His realm has increased by one level!"
Ye Liuyun withdrew his gaze and chuckled softly.
"Who? Someone you know?" Luo Yu asked Ye Liuyun curiously.
She thought that if Ye Liuyun knew someone here, he could recruit them to make their team stronger. Although they had three late-stage ninth-realm demon beasts here, their numbers were still small after all.
"Ran into an acquaintance!" Ye Liuyun smiled. "But he doesn’t recognize me!"
Luo Yu became even more curious upon hearing this. "An acquaintance who doesn’t recognize you?"
Ye Liuyun smiled and immediately told Luo Yu about Ninth Prince Jiang Yunhan’s situation.
"That really is an acquaintance!" Upon hearing that Jiang Yunhan had been tricked by Ye Liuyun several times yet couldn’t recognize him now, Luo Yu couldn’t help but stifle a laugh secretly. However she also became quite curious about Ye Liuyun’s true appearance now wanting to see what he actually looked like
"Is your original appearance—the one on that wanted poster?" Luo Yu asked through voice transmission
"Mhm!" Ye Liuyun nodded
Luo Yu also found Ye Liuyuns method for changing appearances very practical so she tried asking "Then this method you use for changing appearances..."
"It can’t be passed on!" Ye Liuyung immediately cut her off not letting her finish asking
"Oh!" Luo YU agreed softly then stopped asking
At this moment Cern Qifeng Jiang Yunhan AND Sima Qianhua ALSO noticed THE few people ON ye liu yuns side
Seeing THREE strong experts AT middle TO late stage ninth realm AND three seventh-realm martial CULTIVATORS THEY immediately ALL developed thoughts OF recruiting THEM Several people actually walked TOGETHER toward YE liu yuns location
"They’re coming over!" LUO yu immediately sent voice transmission TO ye liu yung
"They probably want TO recruit US!" YE liu yung guessed
As THESE few people approached LUO yu stood UP first
"Lady LUO you’re ALSO entering THE secret realm FOR exploration?" Cern Qifeng greeted HER first
LUO yu AND HER demonic wolf OLD servant WERE somewhat famous IN THIS city DUE TO their decent realms Cern Qifeng AND Sima qianhua BOTH actually KNEW her
"Lady luo IS THIS young lord YOUR friend? Won’t YOU introduce US?" Sima qianhua went straight TO THE main point
"Mr. Cern, Crown Prince Sima, I only just teamed up with this gentleman..." Luo Yu said somewhat awkwardly.
She didn’t know how to introduce Ye Liuyun, afraid she might accidentally reveal his identity.
Ye Liuyun stood up at this moment and took the initiative to respond: "This humble one is Li Xiaoyao, not a native of these parts. I happened to be passing through when I learned the secret realm was about to open, so I teamed up with Miss Luo to explore it together. Might I ask what brings you all here?"
"This humble one is Cern Qifeng. Pleased to make your acquaintance!" Cern Qifeng greeted Ye Liuyun in turn.
Jiang Yunhan merely nodded toward Ye Liuyun without speaking. He had little foundation here and had come to curry favor with these noble families, so he had restrained much of his arrogance, but he still wouldn’t actively greet someone unfamiliar.
"So Young Master Li isn’t from around here—that explains why I didn’t recognize you! I’m Sima Qianhua, the crown prince of the City Lord’s residence. Young Master Li, Miss Luo, why not join us in treasure hunting? It’s always good to have more people watching each other’s backs!" Sima Qianhua directly invited Ye Liuyun.
Upon seeing this, Cern Qifeng immediately brought up the Ninth Prince and introduced him to Ye Liuyun: "Young Master Li, Miss Luo, this is Jiang Yunhan, the Ninth Prince of the Fire Seal Dynasty!"
Ye Liuyun had no choice but to exchange courtesies with Jiang Yunhan, not wanting to expose his identity too early.
"The Ninth Prince and I have formed an exploration team—the strongest one at that. If Young Master Li prefers safety in numbers, why not join us?" Cern Qifeng also extended an immediate invitation.
"Hmph, what use are numbers? Treasure hunting depends on luck!" Sima Qianhua immediately retorted.
"As a prince, could the Ninth Prince possibly have worse luck than you?" Cern Qifeng fired back just as sharply. It seemed these two normally didn’t get along well either.
Ye Liuyun didn’t want to listen to them continue arguing, so he feigned a smile and interrupted: "I appreciate everyone’s regard for me, but I believe exploration teams shouldn’t be too large—otherwise it becomes difficult to distribute any treasures we find.
Let’s proceed separately for now. If we encounter each other inside the secret realm and need assistance then helping each other wouldn’t be out of the question."
Seeing that Ye Liuyun didn’t wish to join either faction Cern Qifeng and Sima Qianhua naturally stopped their bickering neither pressing him further—at least neither wanted him as an enemy—so they exchanged some polite pleasantries before withdrawing.
After they left Luo Yu began conversing with him through voice transmission: "Li Xiaoyao that’s quite a name you’ve chosen."
"It’s not my name—I’m impersonating a young master from one of the noble families!" Ye Liuyun was direct concealing nothing.
More and more people were gathering at the secret realm entrance making it increasingly lively; he could no longer cultivate in peace so he simply chatted idly with Luo Yu while waiting to enter.
"Didn’t previous heirs of your dynasty enter this secret realm?" Ye Liu yu n asked concerned that all treasures might already have been taken
"Each generation enters before reaching late ninth level Return To One seeking that cultivation technique But none have ever emerged I’m worried dangers inside may have changed which is why i sought help—to be safer" Luo Yu replied
Did Hongtian Dynasty previously produce any cultivators who broke through To Void Realm?" ye liu yu n asked luo yu wanting understand if technique she sought actually useful
