In the courtyard, only the main house at the center was lit.

Knock, knock...

Tang Tianmang gently knocked on the door twice, his voice respectful as he said, "Master, Elder Qiu and Elder Ming Yan have arrived."

"Come in."

An elderly voice came from inside the house.

The three pushed open the door and entered; Qiu Leihu and Qiu Mingyan finally met the person they had been waiting half a month for.

The room was rather simple, with just a wooden table, a bed, and a single meditation mat in the middle, on which sat an elderly man in white.

The elderly man's cheeks were slightly gaunt, his face lined with deep, chiseled wrinkles. His hair was white, his hands were thin and slender, exuding an extraordinary aura.

After Qiu Leihu and Qiu Mingyan entered, the old pair of eyes that had been tightly shut opened and looked at them.

The deep-set black eyes contained an invisible sharpness that seemed to flicker.

With just that ordinary look, even Qiu Mingyan, a Peak Fifth Layer Innate Realm expert, felt an immense pressure in his heart.

"Elder Tang Mu, long time no see. This time, I've come to ask you..."

Qiu Leihu began to speak.

"Leihu, Tianmang has already told me everything."

Elder Tang Mu's gaze was profound, and there was a hint of coldness in his words.

"I never expected that in the Mortal Realm, someone would dare to kill a disciple of my Tang Sect, and it was even my own direct disciple, Tang Fan, Hong Yi, Yiming, who all died by one person's hand."

Cold light flickered in Elder Tang Mu's eyes, murder intent fully revealed.

Upon hearing Elder Tang Mu's words, Qiu Leihu knew that Elder Tang Mu would not let this slide.

"Please, Elder Tang Mu, take charge, come out of seclusion, and personally slay that little beast to avenge Yiming and his senior brothers and sisters!"

Qiu Leihu immediately said.

"That little beast killed my disciple; there is no way I will let him go. I must personally kill him! Sever his limbs, decapitate him, to comfort the spirits of the three in heaven."

Elder Tang Mu's eyes flashed with coldness, his voice grim.

However, after his voice fell, Elder Tang Mu slowly shook his head and said, "However, these days, it's not possible."

"Elder Tang Mu, this...?"

Qiu Leihu's face changed slightly, and he immediately said.

"Leihu, you already know what's happening in the Mortal Realm. The Secret Realm at the East Sea has been opened, and this time it is even more grand than before. It will surely attract attention from around the world. At that time, experts from all over the world will likely go. Our Tang Sect will also go."

Elder Tang Mu said.

"The Secret Realm is filled with rare creatures, Spirit Fruits, Spirit Medicines, and even secrets related to Earth's ancient times—a rare opportunity indeed. For the sake of the Tang Sect and myself, I cannot miss it, so the matter of slaying that little beast must be postponed for a while."

In Elder Tang Mu's elderly eyes, invisible sharpness flickered as he spoke in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Leihu immediately fell silent.

Although the Tang Sect dwelled deep in the mountains, its disciples did pay attention to the Mortal Realm, delivering news. They were already aware of the recent events where trees sprouted in autumn and fish activity increased significantly.

"However, rest assured, I will not let that little beast go.

This time, the Penglai Secret Realm is vast in scale, and that little beast is very likely to go as well. If he goes, inside the Secret Realm, I will personally kill him. The dignity of the Tang Sect cannot be challenged!"

Elder Tang Mu's voice was icy cold.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Leihu's eyes brightened slightly. He then nodded, yes, the little beast was unlikely to miss this Secret Realm, and with Elder Tang Mu, the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, and others present, no matter how capable he was, he was doomed.

"I entrust everything to Elder Tang Mu."

Qiu Leihu said solemnly.

"I will handle it."

Elder Tang Mu nodded, a flash of cold light in his eyes.

Midnight.

The moonlight was cold, shining down on the vast expanse of the Kunlun Mountain Range.

In the depths of the Kunlun Mountain Range, on a lush peak.

Two figures, dressed in Qing Bu robes, each with a sword on their back, stood atop the mountain, gazing at the moonlit horizon.

Both were middle-aged men; one had a dignified appearance, exuding an aura, while the other had a square face. The two, with long swords on their backs, stood atop the mountain as if ready to ride the wind and return.

The dignified middle-aged man was the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sword Sect, Kun Xuan, and the square-faced middle-aged man was his junior brother, Kun Qingfeng.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, who would've thought that the phenomenon of the Penglai Secret Realm opening this time is so grand, it will surely attract the coveting of the entire world. Those national powers are likely to participate."

Kun Qingfeng said, gazing at the distant eastern moonlight.

"In the past thousand years, technological power was weak, and the Penglai Secret Realm was only known to the top forces of Huaxia. However, some Japan Ninjas also knew about it. There had never been national involvement, but now with strong technology in the Mortal Realm, this time, it may be known to the world."

Kun Xuan nodded and sighed lightly.

"The competition this time is likely to be quite fierce."

Kun Qingfeng said.

"Yes, Penglai Secret Realm, this is the legendary Immortal Mountain of Huaxia. Such a grand event, even though the Kunlun Sword Sect has few numbers, we must participate. This might be the Kunlun Sword Sect's opportunity to become even stronger."

Kun Xuan said, and in his eyes, a flash of Sword Aura passed by.

The night was still pervasive.

Shennongjia.

In this secluded, ancient forest of over three thousand square kilometers.

In a place surrounded by clear waters and forests.

There was a wooden courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, there were several simple houses.

At this moment, there were three figures sitting on three meditation mats in the courtyard, one in front and two behind.

The figure sitting at the front was dressed in flowing clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, but there was white hair at his temples, indicating his age.

Facing him were the two figures, one dressed in a blue robe, with jet-black hair cascading down, a fresh and charming face.

Beside the blue-robed girl was a young man in a Silver Robe, thin-lipped, whose gaze towards the blue-robed girl inadvertently revealed a slight warmth and admiration.

"Master, in the past few days, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi have increased a lot, my cultivation progress has also been a bit faster."

The blue-robed girl's pretty face had a trace of joy as she spoke.

"Hmm, this time the East Sea Penglai Secret Realm opens on a large scale, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is surging out, so the Spiritual Energy on Earth has become denser."

The middle-aged man sitting on the front meditation mat nodded and smiled slightly as he spoke.

"Master, I heard there are many rare exotic beasts and numerous Spirit Fruits and Spirit Medicines in the Penglai Secret Realm."

The blue-robed girl's eyes, clear like water, glanced around as she spoke.

"Yes, there are indeed many opportunities inside, but alongside opportunities, there is also danger. Many of the Demon Beasts inside are very powerful."

The middle-aged man nodded as he spoke.
