In Black Tortoise City, among the three major families, the Xie Family, the Zhou Family, and the Liu Family, Wang Ruoxie could not count on the Zhou or Liu families to bring him into the Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

Therefore, his hope of entering the Black Tortoise Secret Realm could only rest on someone from the Xie Family.

Xie Yuya was the leading figure among the younger generation of the Xie Family, unmatched in talent and strength compared to peers in the same realm.

With the opening of the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, Xie Yuya was certain to enter and compete for the Acupoint Condensation Realm's inheritance.

Since Wang Ruoxie had met Xie Yuya once before, he might be able to leverage Xie Yuya's strength to enter the Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

As for possible retaliation from Liu Chen and the Zhou Family, he wasn't overly concerned.

Though his cultivation had yet to recover, his formidable physique alone could easily contend with an average Meridian Passage Realm practitioner in the middle stage. Unless they had someone in the late stage of Meridian Passage Realm, they posed no threat.

Wang Ruoxie and Xueyao followed the group further into the canyon, encountering a large number of people along the way.

Soon, they arrived at a waterfall deep within the valley.

At least several thousand people had gathered here, all with the same goal—to enter the Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

Everyone present had reached at least the late stage of the Innate Realm, and many were in the early and middle stages of the Meridian Passage Realm.

Regarding the late stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, none were visible as yet, as even in Black Tortoise City or the entire Black Luo Kingdom, those in the late stage were extremely rare and not easily encountered.

Despite this, Xueyao's expression was rather serious; although she had broken through a minor realm with the help of the Infinite Jade Disc, she remained stuck at the Innate Realm, unable to compete with the many Meridian Passage Realm practitioners for the inheritance within the Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

Additionally, Wang Ruoxie's cultivation had not been restored, leaving them likely to find little opportunity within the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, perhaps even unable to escape alive.

"Senior Sister, you needn't worry too much. Once inside the Secret Realm, I will quickly recover my cultivation, then help you break through to the Meridian Passage Realm."

Wang Ruoxie spoke softly to Xueyao.

Given that the Black Tortoise Secret Realm was an inheritance land left by practitioners in the Acupoint Condensation Realm, and had existed for at least a thousand years, there were bound to be many rare treasures and resources within. As long as he could obtain some, restoring his cultivation wouldn't be difficult.

"Mm."

Xueyao nodded slightly, knowing well that once Wang Ruoxie could restore his cultivation, the people present would no longer pose a threat to them.

"The members of the three major families have arrived."

Suddenly, there was a cry of alarm in the crowd, prompting everyone to look around.

A group of several hundred people was approaching, led by three middle-aged men emanating powerful auras, inducing a suffocating feeling among the crowd.

Wang Ruoxie and Xueyao also turned to look, their eyes slightly narrowing upon spotting a familiar figure among the crowd.

"Liu Chen!"

Wang Ruoxie silently uttered with cold detachment, having let the man escape before; this time, he wouldn't let Liu Chen leave the Black Tortoise Secret Realm alive.

Liu Chen appeared to notice Wang Ruoxie as well, watching him with a chilling smile and making a throat-cutting gesture, clearly indicating that Wang Ruoxie was doomed.

Watching Liu Chen's gesture, Wang Ruoxie smiled coldly inside. One of them would undoubtedly die today, but it certainly wouldn't be him.

His eyes shifted, spotting Xie Yuya among the crowd. The Sentimental Young Master was just as before, gracefully attired in white with long flowing hair, incredibly handsome and extraordinary.

Xie Yuya's gaze met Wang Ruoxie's, causing both to smile lightly and nod briefly in acknowledgment.

Finally, Wang Ruoxie's gaze settled on a white-robed young man in another group, sensing a strong threat and even a hint of murderous intent from him.

"People from the Zhou Family."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, realizing that Liu Chen from the Liu Family and Xie Yuya from the Xie Family each had their own teams. Clearly, the white-robed young man belonged to the Zhou Family's team.

Understanding the murderous intent from the white-robed young man, Wang Ruoxie immediately deduced that his killing of Zhou He and over ten Zhou Family experts had likely been discovered.

Yet, despite Liu Chen and the white-robed young man harboring murderous intentions, neither acted immediately upon seeing him.

"Junior Brother, this is troublesome. Both the Liu Family and Zhou Family have brought so many experts, and you've temporarily lost your cultivation. We cannot contend with them."

Worried, Xueyao spoke quietly to Wang Ruoxie.

Combined, the Liu Family and Zhou Family teams numbered at least three hundred, almost all Meridian Passage Realm experts, with dozens in the middle stage. Even if Wang Ruoxie restored his cultivation, he still might struggle against them.

As for Xueyao, she lacked even the capability to fight against them.

"No matter, since they haven't acted immediately, it means they have their concerns. In that case, we'll simply wait and see."

Wang Ruoxie replied to Xueyao.

"That's all we can do."

Xueyao nodded slightly.

She increasingly felt her strength insufficient; despite her cultivation reaching the Ninth Layer of the Innate Realm, which back in the East Victory Kingdom made her a top-tier expert. It was not an exaggeration to call her invincible, yet in the broader Eastern Domain, it fell short.

Even in Black Luo Kingdom, deemed the strongest country in Eastern Domain, she probably wasn't qualified to be considered among the ranks of experts.

Entering the Black Tortoise Secret Realm was a significant opportunity for her. Even if she didn't obtain the Acupoint Condensation Realm inheritance, she needed to leverage the treasures within to break through to the Meridian Passage Realm.

"Buzz..."

Suddenly, the space vibrated with a deafening roar, and everyone felt a surge of overwhelming spiritual power spreading from the waterfall.

"Liu Zhe, Zhou Hu, the optimal time to enter the Black Tortoise Secret Realm has come. We must act now."

The middle-aged leader of the Xie Family's team spoke to the two middle-aged men leading the Liu Family and Zhou Family teams.

"Alright."

Liu Zhe and Zhou Hu nodded in agreement.

Then the crowd watched as the three men stepped forward to the waterfall, quickly forming intricate hand signs.

In the next moment, under the crowd's astonished gaze, the waterfall defied gravity and reversed, revealing a massive opening.

The entrance glimmered faintly, with waves of intense spiritual power emanating from it, clearly marking the entrance to the Black Tortoise Secret Realm.

"We can only maintain this for half a quarter-hour. Hurry into the Secret Realm, but remember, you only have ten days. After ten days, we will reopen the entrance. If you miss it, you must wait at least ten years inside until the next opening."

The middle-aged man from the Xie Family addressed the crowd.

The crowd nodded in acknowledgment, then each figure leapt forward, entering the opening.

Wang Ruoxie and Xueyao naturally followed the group into the Black Tortoise Secret Realm.
