Upon hearing Fang Meiyun's voice transmission, everyone began to mentally transmit that they understood.
This time, to face Tang Yu, the Sect of the Maidens specially sent ten elders at the peak of the Soul-Nascent Realm.
If the ten formed a formation and attacked together, they could even face a cultivator in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
As long as an expert of that level didn't intervene, once Tang Yu was captured, he would undoubtedly be doomed.
At this moment, the force of the rules of the secret region prevented it: not even cultivators of the Divine Transformation Realm could enter, let alone intervene!
In such a deadly situation, Fang Meiyun didn't believe Tang Yu could escape.
Ning Qingyan nodded her mouth, but her mood was even more complicated.
In front of the dispute between the two sects, the many sword cultivators of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain didn't even bother to look.
Compared to other cultivators, sword cultivators were purer, dedicating themselves entirely to the way of the sword.
On the other hand, the wandering cultivators observing were delighted to watch the spectacle, even wishing for the Hehuan Sect and the Sect of the Maidens to start fighting immediately.
If chaos broke out, they would have the chance to take advantage of the disorder.
Unfortunately for them, until the secret region officially opened, the two sects didn't have any further conflicts.
When the agreed hour arrived, the leaders of the three major sects, along with other experts, acted together.
After they jointly opened the last barrier of the secret region, a huge stone door emitting an ancient aura appeared before everyone.
As the door slowly opened, an intense and dense spiritual energy emanated from within.
Many wandering cultivators immediately sat down to meditate, absorbing that spiritual energy with all their might.
Cultivation resources provided for free—failing to take advantage of them would be a waste. Everyone had paid their entry fee to be there.
"Enter, you, the selected disciples. The rest of you stay here and cultivate."
After giving this order, Fang Meiyun's disciples from the Sect of the Maidens entered one by one through the stone door and disappeared.
Since the Sect of the Maidens was the first to discover the place, they had priority to enter, and neither the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain nor the Hehuan Sect objected.
Once all the members of the Sect of the Maidens entered, the next group was from the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.
A whole group flew in on their swords, their faces serious, crossing the stone door to enter the secret region.
"This time, you two will be in charge of the group. Once inside, be very careful. Safety comes first."
Seeing that both sects had already entered, Liu Yanlan softly looked at Tang Yu and Nangong Ying and said.
"Yes, yes! Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll take good care of my little brother!"
Nangong Ying stretched out her hand and pinched Tang Yu's cheek, stretching his face.
Tang Yu also wanted to pinch some part of Nangong Ying's body to get a little revenge.
Ignoring the flirtation between them, Liu Yanlan turned her gaze to several elders at the peak of the Soul-Nascent Realm.
"Thank you for your effort in this mission."
The elders of the Soul-Nascent Realm cupped their hands and smiled.
The main mission this time was to protect Tang Yu, even if it meant risking their lives.
Since this was a crucial matter for the sect's rise, and they were beneficiaries of great favors from it, they would naturally not refuse.
Under the gaze of the sect members, Tang Yu led the group and entered the stone door.
The door itself was a teleportation formation.
Once inside, the environment around them quickly changed.
What they saw was finally a thick white fog.
The fog was so dense that they couldn't even see clearly.
Fortunately, one of the greatest advantages of cultivators was their spiritual sense.
With this type of radar and built-in surveillance system, they quickly scanned the surroundings.
Tang Yu didn't detect any living beings; he could only tell they were in a desolate plain.
Around them were several ruined, dark halls, as if they were ferocious beasts lying in wait.
"Does this fog limit spiritual sense? The lower the cultivation level, the stronger the effect?"
Nangong Ying also used her spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and then looked at the disciples, asking.
"Answering Elder Nangong, that's correct."
A disciple at the beginning of the Golden Core Realm hurriedly responded.
The range of his spiritual sense had been reduced to just about a hundred meters.
Much less than half of what it was before.
For a cultivator, having their spiritual sense limited was no different than losing sight in one eye.
"It must be because of the heavenly and earthly rules of this secret region. Everyone, be very careful."
After giving a warning, Nangong Ying looked at Tang Yu.
"Little brother, should we take a look around those nearby halls?"
"Okay."
Tang Yu knew that this girl couldn't wait any longer to search for treasures.
After all, coming to a secret region was precisely to seek luck and inheritances.
When they tried to fly to a certain height, the higher they flew, the denser the fog became, to the point that they couldn't even tell which direction they were heading.
Since their spiritual sense was affected and flying was uncomfortable, they all opted to proceed on foot for greater safety.
After walking for the time it takes for half a stick of incense to burn, they finally arrived near the great hall.
Along the way, they had activated hidden restrictions in the fog several times.
Fortunately, there were many experts on this expedition, and no one fell into a trap.
Upon reaching the entrance of the hall, an elder who was skilled in restrictions formed seals with his hands, and after a moment of deduction, he quickly dispelled the barrier on the door.
As soon as the restriction was deactivated, the door disintegrated as if it had been eroded by time, turning into black dust carried away by the wind.
And right after, the entire hall vanished in the same way.
Where the back of the hall used to be, some fallen magical treasures could be seen on the ground.
"I'll go, I'll go!"
Nangong Ying extended her hand and grabbed those magical treasures.
Being a compulsive greedy person, Nangong Ying was very good at evaluating treasures.
With her spiritual sense, she scanned them one by one and happily said:
"These can be sold for about twenty high-quality spirit stones. What luck, we're starting off on the right foot."
The disciples of the Sect who were with her smiled broadly.
If they found some like those, their cultivation resources for the next ten years would be guaranteed.
At that moment, the fog around them suddenly began to dissipate.
The black dust that had been the hall reappeared in the environment.
It condensed into black pearls the size of a fist.
These black pearls began to absorb the surrounding fog without stopping.
Until all the fog within several kilometers around disappeared completely.
The absorbed fog was released again in a very dense form, creating demonic beasts of different shapes around the black pearls.
Each of these beasts stood about ten meters tall.
Seeing that more than ten beasts suddenly appeared, several elders attacked first.
With a few spells, they eliminated the beasts in an instant.
But after being destroyed, the black pearls didn't disappear.
From them, white fog again emerged, which condensed into new beasts.
"Attack the pearls!"
An experienced elder gave a warning, and after destroying a beast, he launched another spell directly at the black pearl.
Upon being hit, the pearl fell to the ground. Tang Yu picked it up with one hand.
The pearl was cold to the touch, and Tang Yu, feeling it a little, smiled and said:
"These pearls are really worth it, they're filled with pure spiritual energy. If absorbed directly, their effect is no less than that of pills."
The others, after destroying the beasts, also collected their black pearls.
After confirming that Tang Yu was right, Nangong Ying smiled from ear to ear and said:
"No wonder, I already thought that the energy outside the door was so dense, how come there was nothing when we entered?"
"In that case, let's proceed with the initial plan: split into several teams and scout the surroundings. If you encounter any problems, prioritize your safety."
After giving this order, Tang Yu ventured further inside with the more powerful elders.
At the same time, the Sect of the Maidens and the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, who had entered before Tang Yu, had already discovered the usefulness of the black pearls.
They also organized their lower-level disciples into search teams.
As for the elites of the Sect of the Maidens, they didn't advance together.
They chose to act separately.
After all, their main mission this time was to attack Tang Yu.
