C33 Caution of two opponents

Through their various investigations, Mo Chi knew that Zhuo Xin's auction was going to be held in Hangzhou, and Yi Zhou was naturally one of the key figures.

From the information he received, Yi Zhou had a close relationship with the auction house.

With an important link broken, how could he not feel resentful towards Yi Zhou!

After Yi Zhou entered the palace, he immediately stood at a spot with fewer people.

On the other side, there were already many students of Iron Martial Academy and Hidden Dragon Institute. One could tell the difference just by looking at their uniform.

Especially Tie Wu Academy's Kong Han, he looked at Yi Zhou with a gaze as sharp as knives.

In the previous Three Academies' Large Competition, Kong Han had wanted to make Yi Zhou bear the consequences of his infamy, but he failed to do so in the end, and instead got dirty water all over his body.

He couldn't wait for Yi Zhou to die immediately!

Seeing that it was Yi Zhou, the few accomplices around Kong Han immediately looked up with their nose to the sky, and let out a disdainful snort.

Yi Zhou did not care too much about these people.

The president of the Pill Dao Guild, Mo Chi, was only at the fifth level of Qi Condensation. To Yi Zhou, who was at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, he was not too much of a threat.

Tie Wu Academy's Kong Han was only at the fifth level of Qi Gathering at the moment, even if his strength could reach the sixth level of Qi Gathering, Yi Zhou would not take him seriously.

Right now, there were two people that Yi Zhou was truly concerned about.

One of them was a tall and thin man who was leaning against a pillar with his eyes closed.

When Yi Zhou's mental force swept over him, his body reacted, Yi Zhou anxiously cut off his probing, but he knew that he was at the ninth level of Qi Condensation.

He was someone worth being wary of. He was strong enough, and he didn't seem like a good person to talk to. He wasn't in a group, and his personality was a bit cold.

The other person was a middle-aged fatty. He had an average height, width, and thickness, and was about the same.

This person was also at the ninth level of Qi Condensation!

Just as Yi Zhou was observing, a middle-aged man who had overgrown and walked over.

Yi Zhou, right? My name is An Yi, nice to meet you.

Calm? Yi Zhou was definitely familiar with it.

I'm the one in charge of the Anyi Workshop near your college. The man called An Yi reminded him.

Oh, so it's Owner An. Please excuse me!

Yi Zhou had a deep impression of An Yi Square, the place where he got to know Dishnalan.

It seemed like he had left behind some bad memories for Zhou brother. Currently, the workshop had already been tidied up, and the unsuitable people had already been cleaned up.

An Xin said with a smile.

Yi Zhou was slightly surprised, it was clear that this Owner An was trying to please him: The manager of the Hua Clan, who had once clashed with Yi Zhou, had already been fired.

Yi Zhou didn't know why the other party would deliberately befriend him. Was it a merchant's instinct or a scheme?

He could not help but be secretly careful with his words.

Fortunately, this Owner An had only chatted for a short while before he went to communicate with the others. He did not do anything to strike up a conversation with Yi Zhou.

Soon after, many more people came over, but Yi Zhou did not recognize any of them.

But at this time, Yi Zhou took a rough look. There were already more than thirty people waiting inside the hall.

Are all these people here to enter the Secret Realm? Senior Brother Si Qi had previously said that the number of people who travel on Secret Realm in past sessions usually did not exceed twenty. This time around, there were more than thirty of them. It was obvious that this was not normal!

As if everyone had arrived, the guards in the hall closed the doors.

Not long after, a clear voice sounded: Azure Sun King has arrived!

Everyone in the hall immediately became serious and solemn.

Yi Zhou was also a little excited in his heart, he thought about the Azure Sun Royal Medallion that he had previously obtained. Although it had been returned to the Principal later on, it had been extremely helpful to him in the past.

Defeating the crazy Liu Shuang and intimidating a group of arrogant popinjays, the Azure Sun Emperor Token played a very important role, and even saved Yi Zhou's life.

Especially the word 'King' on the order badge, it contained a trace of the power of laws, which made Yi Zhou sigh in admiration.

Therefore, although they had never met before, Yi Zhou still felt that there was a faint feeling of intersection between him and the Azure Sun King.

He also didn't know if it was the current Azure Sun King who had imbued the medallion with the power of laws.

Yi Zhou guessed.

The successors of the Azure Sun Dynasty were all known as the Azure Sun King. From the first generation all the way up to now, it was already the ninth.

Footsteps sounded in the corridor, and a few people were walking in.

However, Yi Zhou was acutely aware that amidst the footsteps, there were actually some weak coughs mixed within!

Were they the guards of the Azure Sun King? That shouldn't be possible. If he wasn't a strong and healthy guard, how could he have stayed by the side of the Azure Sun King?!

Was he a eunuch who had served the Azure Sun King since he was young? If that was the case, it could be said that he was a loyal lord.

Just as Yi Zhou was making wild guesses, a few of them walked out from the front hall.

The Azure Sun King, who was in the middle, took a few steps up the steps and sat on the throne.

Yi Zhou was dumbstruck.

The supreme ruler of the entire Azure Sun Dynasty, the Azure Sun King, was actually a weak youth!

A slight commotion sounded out within the Audience Hall.

Some couldn't help but cry out in shock. Some looked at their companions in astonishment, while others looked at each other, thinking that they were in an illusion.

It seemed that the vast majority of people didn't understand the true situation of the Azure Sun King.

Through observation, Yi Zhou came to this conclusion.

However, two of them were at the ninth level of Qi Condensation, so they should know.

When Yi Zhou saw that the fatty and the tall and cold man had normal attitudes, he surmised that they had some inside information.

Given their cultivation level, it was normal for them to know some things.

At this moment, among the people waiting to enter the Secret Realm, only the two of them were at the ninth level of Qi Gathering, a figure that Yi Zhou was somewhat afraid of.

Yi Zhou thought that although he, who was at the fourth level of Qi Condensation, might not be at a disadvantage when fighting against an eighth level Qi Condensation master, he was not sure if he would be able to beat a ninth level Qi Condensation cultivator.

After entering the Secret Realm, if he distanced himself from these two, the security should be higher.

Yi Zhou made his plans.

At this moment in the main hall, there were only two people at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. There weren't many at the eighth level as well. The biggest ratio was between the third and fifth level of Qi Condensation.

However, from the surface, this Azure Sun King's body couldn't compare to anyone in the hall. Forget about Martial Dao cultivators, even if he randomly picked a person from the streets, it would be difficult to find someone weaker than the Azure Sun King.

Yi Zhou peeked at the throne, it was a slightly hunchbacked, pale skinny youth, full of suspicions.

After studying in the Azure Sun Academy for nearly a year, Yi Zhou had a relatively clear understanding of the entire Eastern Profound Continent.

In the East Xuan Continent, to establish a country, one had to be at least in the Xuan Core realm, and they had to have a solid backing. Only then would the country be able to operate smoothly.

Just like the Tian Zi country that the Azure Sun Empire was attached to, the emperor was a Xuan Core master, and it was said that there would be many powerful sects supporting him from behind the scenes.

On the other hand, the ruler of a relatively weak empire that relied on the existence of a country had to be at least at the middle or late stage of the Liquid Level, which meant that it had to be at least at the fourth level of the Liquid Level.

If not, the matter of others coveting his authority could be imagined with their toes.

Did the Azure Sun Wang before him have a certain level of mastery?

Yi Zhou even wondered if he had cultivated before.

The image of him being able to retain the power of the rules on the command medallion, being able to shake the world and laugh at the heroes couldn't help but cause Yi Zhou to be greatly disappointed.

Silence!

A sharp shout came from the mouth of one of the eunuchs above.

In the main hall, everyone immediately woke up from their stupor and hurriedly shouted, "My King, Wan Shou You Kang!"

This was the etiquette within the palace. One had to show such respect when meeting the Azure Sun King. Everyone had been carefully instructed before entering the Main Palace.

However, a peculiar feeling arose in the hearts of many people.

Originally, this auspicious phrase could only be considered an ordinary blessing with a certain meaning. However, towards this person who was sitting on the throne, was it just right, or was it sarcastic?

However, Yi Zhou still sincerely wished his well.

The contrast between reality and imagination was just a facade. Perhaps there was something that he was unable to understand.

Cough cough!

The Azure Sun King coughed twice. It was unknown if it was to attract attention or if it was due to his body's weakness.

The reason you have come here, is to enter the Secret Realm.

The voice of the youth, Azure Sun, was weak as well. It was the only thing that could be heard in the sealed off main hall.

Azure Sun Secret Realm was a treasure unintentionally obtained by the first generation ancestor a long time ago, in truth, the ancestor's research on it was not very thorough. There were also some ruins and hidden danger peaks that the ancestors hadn't fully explored yet.

Therefore, if you enter, some unexpected rewards are very possible. However, I would like to remind you that there might be some traps hidden in the mysterious place that can really make a person die. You should consider carefully. If you want to leave, please leave the hall now.

No one left. Before they came here, they must have asked around. Everyone had long known that Azure Sun Secret Realm contained a danger to one's life.

Going to the Secret Realm was to find the opportunity within.

In fact, everyone had the same thought: as long as I'm careful, I can still survive.

Since no one has left, I beg of you all, please do me a favor.

The emaciated Azure Sun King paused for a moment, as if gathering his strength to continue speaking.

Please? Was he going to ask everyone to do something?

Yi Zhou's thoughts were the same as most of the others.

This should be the last time he opens the Azure Sun Secret Realm! Azure Sun King's words were earth-shattering.

What!

Upon hearing this news, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Some who knew about the dynasty's secret history could not help but think regretfully: The century-old inheritance was actually going to end!

Thus, this time, the number of people entering was the greatest. In addition, you will be inside for a longer time.

The flow of time in the Secret Realm was relatively faster, roughly three times the actual flow of time. This time, you can stay in the Secret Realm for three months, which is the one month outside.

Listening to the Azure Sun King's somewhat intermittent narration, Yi Zhou vaguely had a thought.

It seemed a bit of a desperate, desperate, and crazed tone. Could it be that Azure Sun King's lifespan wasn't long?
