Chapter 216 The Abnormal Qingyun Secret Realm

After these little episodes, it was Su Chen's turn. Shi Zhengxiong and his five elders gathered together and worked together to exert their magic power.

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky. Smoky green spiritual energy gathered between the semicircular stone arches. A vortex slowly emerged from it. Strong winds suddenly blew around the stone arches, like a man-eating beast, ruthlessly tearing all weak creatures into its stomach.

Following Shi Zhengxiong's order, the second elder took the lead and a group of people entered the secret realm in an orderly manner.

Su Chen and Liu Ruyan were walking at the back and felt the world spinning around. All they saw was a dark, bloodless sky. There were dense trees all around, blocking out the sun. The sunlight was almost invisible. The trees were extremely lush, but the trunks were almost all pure black, exuding an ominous aura everywhere.

"what happened?"

Liu Ruyan couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This scenery is so strange."

"Has Sister Ruyan been here before? Is there any difference between now and then?"

After hearing this, Green Radish immediately came over with curiosity.

After spending a few days together, Luluo discovered that Liu Ruyan was a person who appeared cold on the outside but was warm-hearted on the inside. Plus, there was really no one to talk to, and Luluo was a restless person, so after a few interactions, she became familiar with Liu Ruyan.

"Silly green radish, the last time the Qingyun Secret Realm was opened was a thousand years ago, and your sister Ruyan is not even a thousand years old yet."

Su Chen couldn't help but said with a smile.

Although the green ivy is quite old, it is terribly slow and naive in some aspects.

Luoluo rubbed her head sheepishly, stuck out her tongue and said, "So what do you think is different, Sister Ruyan?"

"As the private secret realm of Qingyun League, I, as a saint, naturally need to know about it. According to the records in the book, Qingyun Secret Realm is full of spiritual energy and is a peaceful place. However, we have been here for such a long time, not only have we not seen a single living creature, but there is an ominous atmosphere everywhere."

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan explained slowly.

"Could it be that Shi Zhengxiong sent you here this time to explore the strangeness of Qingyun Secret Realm?"

Su Chen asked tentatively.

"No, that's too risky."

Liu Ruyan said, "Almost all of the people who came in this time are elite disciples of Qingyun League, the future pillars of the sect. If they are just here to explore the strangeness, then the sacrifice they have to make would be too great."

The strength of a sect depends on the cultivation of its disciples. Even though the secret realm is important, no one would spend so much money on it.

Then there is only one possibility - Shi Zhengxiong also doesn't know that the Qingyun Secret Realm has changed.

"Since we're already here, let's just take it one step at a time. It will take at least fifteen days for the next secret realm to open. We can't just sit here and wait for death."

Su Chen stared into the distance, always feeling that he had made the right trip.

He had a vague premonition that the changes in the Qingyun Secret Realm might be related to what he wanted to know.

"It's best for the three of us to walk together. Don't separate unless necessary."

Liu Ruyan nodded and gave some instructions with some concern.

The three of them nodded and continued walking.

Although the environment was filled with death, there were still many rare treasures along the way, and countless spiritual herbs were picked. Su Chen generously gave them all to Liu Ruyan.

After all, she is his woman, so he has no shortage of such things.

The strange thing was that the time they walked was not much different from that of the team led by the second elder, but they walked for several hours and apart from occasionally seeing some monsters, they did not see a single living person.

"Something's wrong."

Su Chen was walking and suddenly stopped.

Liu Ruyan looked at him with suspicion. Apart from the ominous aura at the beginning, everything went smoothly afterwards. He did not find anything unusual. As a tree spirit, Green Ivy was more sensitive to the aura of living creatures.

She also noticed something was wrong.

"Ruyan, take out the Tiandao Fruit you just found." Su Chen said.

Although Liu Ruyan didn't know what he meant, she still obediently took it out.

Su Chen took the fruit and moved it as he pleased. The fruit instantly caught fire and turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.

"This is……"

Seeing this scene, Liu Ruyan was so shocked that she was speechless.

The Heavenly Dao Fruit contains the power of the laws of the Dao, which cannot be destroyed by ordinary spiritual fire. Moreover, during the entire burning process, not a single ash or spiritual power is emitted.

"These treasures are lifeless."

Green ivy was the first to speak, "And it's strange, some plants can't grow in this environment, they are very delicate, but we picked them very easily along the way, and we didn't even encounter half-living beasts."

"Do you think what we see are familiar?" Su Chen asked Luoluo.

After hearing this, Luluo thought about it carefully and suddenly woke up as if from a dream: "Aren't those spiritual plants we just picked all owned by the master? They are all treasures we are very familiar with."

"Yes." Su Chen nodded.

After all, Liu Ruyan had little contact with Su Chen. Along the way, she had witnessed countless things that were hard to find outside. But looking at the looks of Green Ivy and Su Chen, they seemed to be accustomed to these things.

Su Chen...is really scary.

This level of cultivation of character alone is definitely not something that ordinary people can compare to.

"Ruyan, do you remember what you said when you first came in?"

Su Chen looked at Liu Ruyan steadily.

When talking about serious matters, Su Chen would restrain his original nonchalant temperament, and his words would inexplicably carry a kind of persuasiveness that made people involuntarily want to listen to what he said patiently.

"Did I describe the Qingyun Secret Realm?"

Liu Ruyan suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and began to guess seriously.

"Yes."

Su Chen nodded, then looked into the distance, "This place is completely different from the actual Qingyun Secret Realm."

"But you haven't been in here for a thousand years, so it's normal for some changes to occur." Liu Ruyan couldn't help but say.

"But this change is a bit too big, and what we have seen and heard along the way is indeed a bit abnormal."

The green ivy was just a little slow, but after it reacted, it immediately began to speculate about its surroundings based on its experience.

"During this journey, I could rarely sense the presence of living creatures. Even those monsters were very strange. They did not meet our normal standards and were easily defeated."

Luoluo thought about it and her tone became a little excited, as if she had discovered something incredible.

"So where are we now?"

The more Liu Ruyan listened, the more frightened she became. She felt that this journey was becoming more and more terrifying. It seemed as if there was an unknown fog ahead, making it impossible for them to see the direction ahead.
