Lin Yian leaned close to Chu Nan and said, "It's okay if you're not the leader this time, but you have to protect me later."

The distance between Chu Nan and Lin Yian was very close, and standing together, they truly seemed like a celestial couple.

Especially Lin Yian's words to Chu Nan made You Hanyang burn with anger. He didn't understand how Chu Nan, this weakling at the seventh level of the Yang Wheel, could gain Lin Yian's approval.

Although dissatisfied in his heart, You Hanyang didn't say much and could only say, "Since no one has any objections, I'll humbly accept the role of leader."

Chu Nan and Lin Yian didn't say more, leaving it to You Hanyang to perform.

You Hanyang then assumed a leader's posture and said in an unquestionable tone, "Now that I'm the leader, I must be responsible for everyone. For better exploration of the Secret Realm, I hope all of you will listen to me."

"When we have a leader, we become a team, so we can't hog the opportunities we find."

"No matter who finds an opportunity, they must hand it over to me first. As the leader, I will distribute the opportunities after exploring the Cyan Profound Secret Realm, ensuring everyone benefits."

You Hanyang's idea was simple: use his status as leader to gather all the opportunities and thus hold absolute control.

As these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, their faces showing a look of dissatisfaction.

They chose You Hanyang as leader because of his higher cultivation, hoping he'd protect them, not make them hand over opportunities!

While everyone hesitated, Lin Feng stood out and sternly said, "Why are you hesitating? Do you have objections to Brother You as the leader?"

"He is a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist, with much higher vision and experience than you. How could he harm you?"

Lin Feng's words reminded everyone that You Hanyang was a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist. Even if they were dissatisfied, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Chu Nan was indifferent to all this; small opportunities, if given, were given, but he would not yield if it were a big opportunity.

A leader?

Chu Nan didn't care at all.

Seeing everyone agree, You Hanyang smiled and said, "I see there's a palace not far away; let's head there."

"Good." Under You Hanyang's command, the group of ten quickly made their way towards the palace hidden in the mountains.

The Cyan Profound Secret Realm was full of opportunities; even walking along the mountain paths, one might find valuable Spirit Plants, so everyone was very attentive, not wanting to miss any corner.

A day passed this way, and they arrived at the foot of the mountain where the palace was located.

Along the way, they found some valuable Spirit Plants, but as discussed, they were all handed over to You Hanyang for safekeeping, to be redistributed after leaving the Cyan Profound Secret Realm.

"Brother You, look, we've finally arrived. Wonder what kind of treasures this place holds," Lin Feng said excitedly, with a glimmer in his eyes.

The resplendent palace shone brightly in the dim Secret Realm, exuding a majesty like a mountain.

Chu Nan and the others all had smiles on their faces; with such a solemn palace, there must be plenty of opportunities inside.

Lin Yian then said, "Judging by the looks of the palace, it should be the Shaoyang Palace of the Cyan Profound Secret Realm. My father told me that this Shaoyang Palace is covered by arrays, and they are very tricky."

"Entering is extremely difficult, and it's a life-or-death situation; to this day, no one has been able to enter the Shaoyang Palace."

It was evident Lin Haoyang had told Lin Yian a lot of information about the Secret Realm before they entered.

Hearing about the life-or-death situation, most showed fear; after all, they were here to seek opportunities, not to die.

But You Hanyang displayed a different attitude, excitedly saying, "Isn't it better if it's life-or-death and no one has been here before?"

"Since no one has entered, the opportunities inside must be intact; this is a huge opportunity."

Upon hearing this, many faces lit up with excitement, and they gazed at Shaoyang Palace with a hopeful longing.

Lin Feng chimed in, "That's right, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"And Brother You is here; he's a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist and can surely bring everyone into Shaoyang Palace to find opportunities."

In an instant, excitement was on everyone's faces as they gathered around You Hanyang, waiting for his command.

Chu Nan watched this scene, shaking his head slightly, then doused their enthusiasm with, "This place is dangerous; it's not certain a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist can withstand it. We should be cautious."

The crowd turned their eyes to Chu Nan upon hearing this.

You Hanyang frowned slightly, showing displeasure.

Lin Feng mockingly said, "Chu Nan, are you scared?"

"No wonder, you have the lowest cultivation among us, it's normal to be afraid; after all, your strength is too weak."

"It might be better for you to wait outside; when we come out, we'll give you a small share of the opportunity."

Lin Feng's words drew laughter from everyone, and they all looked at Chu Nan with disdain.

Seeing this, Chu Nan shook his head helplessly, as he was only giving a kind reminder but ended up being mocked. He decided to say no more and let them seek their own fate.

Lin Yian tugged at Chu Nan's sleeve, worriedly asking, "Are there really dangers even you can't handle inside?"

Chu Nan shook his head and said, "This place is covered by arrays, filled with peril, far from as simple as it appears."

"Such an array can't be broken by brute force alone."

You Hanyang scoffed at Chu Nan, dismissive, "What does a mere Yang Wheel know about the power of a Divine Light Realm Martial Artist?"

"Divine Light Realm Martial Artists shape Dao Essence and open their Sea of Consciousness. Even in an array, they can find a way out using Spiritual Sense."

"And I've studied arrays extensively at the Battle Academy. From what I've seen, this Shaoyang Palace array is not worth mentioning."

Finally, You Hanyang waved his hand and headed towards Shaoyang Palace, "I'm the leader; everyone follow me, I'll lead you to break the array and find opportunities!"

With that, You Hanyang didn't care about Chu Nan's attitude and directly led Lin Feng and the other Lin family disciples towards Shaoyang Palace.

Before leaving, You Hanyang glanced at Lin Yian, thinking he could use his ability to break the Shaoyang Palace array and win her heart.

For his own sake and for Lin Yian's, You Hanyang couldn't miss this opportunity.

The other Lin family disciples followed suit. Though some were still apprehensive, they followed resolutely towards Shaoyang Palace nonetheless.

To Lin Feng and the others, with You Hanyang's high cultivation and self-claimed study of arrays, the chances of breaking the array seemed high, and following him could only be beneficial.

Lin Yian saw this and turned to Chu Nan, "Chu Nan, what should we do?"

Chu Nan looked towards Shaoyang Palace and said, "I was just reminding them to be cautious; I didn't say not to go in. We can also go and see."
