"You don't have to wonder why I'm like this. Even though I am a disciple of the Floating Cloud Pavilion, my heart is filled with hatred towards them.

My parents left early and followed my grandfather from an early age. Grandfather Zhang Hanyue was originally an elder of the Floating Cloud Pavilion and had a lofty position within the pavilion.

However, his grandfather was kind-hearted. When he found out that the pavilion was going with the flow, using the lives of many innocent cultivators and the citizens of Qi to complete that wisp of Heavenly Dragon's Aura, he immediately objected.

This act of disregarding human life as worthless was a grave violation of the righteous sects' goal. As a righteous grandfather, he absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening.

There were many times when he tried to persuade Floating Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Master and the Cloud Water Cliff, and at the pavilion's higher ups meetings, he publicly objected. However, in the entire pavilion, for the development of the sect, it seemed as if the Heavenly Dragon Qi was determined to win, and did not care at all.

Until the last meeting of the pavilion's core elders, when grandfather left and never returned, my grandfather and grandson lost contact and their fate was unknown.

I am a person of few words, I was not sensible in the past, and did not concentrate on my cultivation path. My cultivation is weak, so I do not have any say in the sect. Many times meeting with the pavilion master didn't work out. The other elders in the sect also didn't talk about this time, and even those elders who had a good relationship with my grandfather avoided me as soon as they saw me, making it impossible for me to get any information about my grandfather.

However, there were rumors within the sect. Some people said that his grandfather was being placed under house arrest while others said that he had been killed. However, the sect still didn't have a clear attitude and treated this matter with contempt.

Maybe it's to maintain the status quo, maybe it's because I don't want to get into the limelight, my grandfather's matter was so rare that it didn't affect me. Not only that, I was even sent to this Secret Realm that originally didn't meet the requirements.

Initially, I was curious and thought that the sect was feeling guilty so I decided to do it. But when I entered this Secret Realm and saw that all the disciples in the other pavilions had Transfer Jade Strip s specially made out of different sects and I was the only one who didn't have one, I suddenly realized that it was not because of my good intentions, but was instead because of the pavilion's desire to borrow the Secret Realm's power to wipe me out in secret.

From the start to the end, Zhang Qing had long revealed more than one secret, and Zhang Qing had also confided in him as though he was his friend.

Lei Yang's heart was also filled with emotions. He would never have thought that this guy would have such an unfortunate encounter behind him, even though he looked like a diaosi on the surface.

Lei Yang's matter at this time seemed to have caused an enormous resonance in his heart. Unknowingly, he had let down his guard, and the relationship between the two of them had changed a little.

In reality, although Zhang Qing was a disciple of the Floating Cloud Pavilion, his current situation was no different from Lei Yang's. They were both facing threats to their lives, and if they were not careful, they would melt the complete nourishment of the Heavenly Dragon Qi.

Seeing Zhang Qing being so bored at the moment, Lei Yang took the initiative to go over and pat his shoulder to show his consolation. This feeling of being abandoned, Lei Yang was very clear, and he could even feel the feeling of being abandoned.

Zhang Qing seemed to realize that his emotions were not right and smiled towards Lei Yang to show his friendliness, but at the same time, it was also a form of response. He hurriedly tidied up his emotions before continuing.

"For this wisp of Heavenly Dragon Qi, the four sects are determined to win this time. They have secretly set up a trap, and other than killing the peak level rogue cultivators, the four sects will not hold back against each other even after fighting to the end.

Thus, in order to protect myself, I had to search everywhere for treasures of heaven and earth to quickly increase my cultivation. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to survive in the cracks between the four sects for half a year before my teleportation opens.

It can be said that this trial is the most brutal and bloody ever since the four sects joined hands. When the Heavenly Dragon Qi is complete, this Secret Realm will turn into a living hell. "

After Zhang Qing said this, worry appeared in both their eyes. This worry was not because of them, but because of their own loved ones. For their loved ones, for the things that they cared about, they had to survive.

Just like that, because of the two of them being in the same situation, they had a similar experience, and because they had the same feelings for their loved ones, the relationship between the two of them got closer and closer.

After a long while, the two of them looked at each other. They seemed to be able to see the determination and decisiveness in each other's eyes. They both reached out their right hands at the same time like brothers that had just reunited after a long time.

If it was the same kind of person, even though they had just met, they would be like brothers that had just reunited after a long time. There was no need to say much.

There was no need to say anything else. This was the result of the two of them choosing to unconditionally trust each other. Lei Yang didn't have the slightest bit of doubt towards what Zhang Qing had said, and in this way, he too, felt a sense of gratitude in his heart that he had not felt in a long time.

In this world where the strong were revered, where cultivators cheated each other just for their own selfish desires, this world where one saw gains and lost all sense of justice, and the unconditional trust between companions, this was something extremely valuable.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, then Lei Yang spoke in a heroic manner: "Good, since it's like this, us two brothers must work together to defy the heavens, even if it's the Four Great Sects, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Good!" "Brother, in the future, the two of us will join hands and retreat together. We will kill one of them and topple the other while wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves!" Zhang Qing was also not a foolish person. Seeing that not only had his goal been achieved, but there was also a new good brother, he also straightforwardly smiled, and his eyes revealed sincerity and gratitude.

This call of brother was the true acknowledgement of Lei Yang from the bottom of his heart, and was also the return of his trust in Lei Yang.

The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, chatting and laughing. They did not linger as they continued to head towards the direction of the mountain range.

Along the way, as the two of them conversed with each other, Lei Yang found out that the reason the two of them met each other in the Maple Forest, which was known as Death Ground, was because they were chased until they had nowhere else to run to.

Ever since that day in the mountain valley, after Zhang Qing had stolen the Dragon's Heart Fruit, he was chased by the middle-aged man dressed in grey and the three grand achievement Spirit Qi s. After running for so long, he was barely able to escape with his life on the line. In the end, he risked his life to charge into that land of death, and only then was he able to find a slim chance of survival.

Who knew that not long after they lay dormant at the edge of the forest, the countless Withered Leaf beasts went berserk. He thought that the cultivators from the four sects had thrown in medicinal pills, but helplessly, they were chased all the way to the heart of the forest.

He just happened to see the scene of Lei Yang being surrounded by countless Withered Leaf Beasts and turned into a ball of dried up leaves, and only then did he realize that the Withered Leaf beasts were not coming for him at all. Delighted, he was just about to leave carefully when suddenly, a ray of red blood flashed past.

Lei Yang was in a coma at the time, but he guessed that the mysterious blood light was most likely due to the blood red face tattoo, but he did not reveal it to anyone. After all, even if they were brothers, they still needed to keep a secret.

After interacting with them, Lei Yang realized that not only was Zhang Qing a straightforward person, he was also very cunning and had a lot of schemes, especially with regards to the robberies. There were many methods, and every time, it was as if he was extremely familiar with the route, as if he had already prepared well before entering this place.

He had a lot of understanding towards the Secret Realm s in this large tomb, and he was even a first-rate expert at gathering and gathering all sorts of information.

It could be said that Lei Yang was in a blind state in the past, but now, with Zhang Qing, everything became different. He had a clear goal, which was to seize resources, raise his cultivation, live, and walk out of the Secret Realm.

According to the information Zhang Qing had gathered from the Floating Cloud Pavilion, the area of the Secret Realm was extremely large and the location of the Dragon Abyss was right at the center of the entire Secret Realm.

In reality, if the Dragon Abyss was the center and divided outwards, the entire terrain could be divided into three types, from the inside to the outside. They were the desert, the mountain plains, and the water lakes, forming three distinct circles.

The place closest to the center of the Dragon Abyss was called the One Ring, which was an endless desert. The countless mountain ranges and plains close to the First Ring were called the Second Ring, and the one closest to the Third Ring was a vast expanse of water.

According to the information given to them, Lei Yang and Yue Yang's current location just happened to be in the mountain and plains in the Secret Realm's second ring.

This was the most dangerous place in Secret Realm, where countless mountain ranges gathered. It was not only a gathering place for heavenly materials, it was also known as the safe zone. The plains were a dangerous place, a land of death, filled with endless dangers.

But the Secret Realm was special, all of the teleported people would be sent to the second ring, and then rely on their own abilities, they would walk all the way to the Dragon Abyss.

This was because there was a great opportunity there, and it was also the exit to the great tomb's Secret Realm. Before they reached that place, whoever could push their cultivation to the limit would be the final winner.

But before reaching Dragon Abyss, cultivators would not choose to break through their Spirit Origin Realm, because only by reaching there and obtaining enough of the Earth Dragon's aura as well as baptism of the body could one truly become a profound practitioner, and countless cultivators came precisely for this kind of good fortune.

After determining the route, Lei Yang and Yue Yang quickly headed towards the Dragon Abyss. Just like that, the two of them started to work together and started their crazy plan to snatch the resources.
