In the beginning, everyone had a good relationship with each other. However, when one group died during training and another group died during the mission, slowly, everyone became numb to it, and in the end, only she was left. Mu Xiaoling didn't even have time to think about her future achievements.

She was not really cold, but had been numb for too long. Xiao Yu had awakened a bit of warmth in her heart, but this person had left too quickly.

Mu Ling Secret Realm was on a small mountain outside of the Cloud City. When she arrived, there were already many people standing there, not just some people wearing the clothes of Shen Family, but also some small clans in the Cloud City. There were about a hundred people, but their strength was not high, and the highest was only around the sixth level of the Fighter realm.

Shen Zheheng smiled as he welcomed his. "It's good that young miss is here, where is that young master?"

"He's gone." Mu Xiaoling was unwilling to say more, she walked to a corner with no one around, and looked up at the moon.

Today was the end of the moon. The crescent moon was like a hook.

Shen Zheheng did not move closer, he turned and nodded towards the Shen Family crowd. A young girl was surrounded by them, it was Shen Zheheng's sister, Shen Zhiruo.

However, at the moment, Shen Zhiruo was not paying attention to her brother at all, her heart was focused on the man she saw before, but even now, she still could not find him. When she saw that the time to open the secret realm had arrived, she could not help but feel disappointed.

When midnight arrived, a curtain of light appeared out of thin air, like a huge door that flickered with white light.

Shen Zheheng cleared his throat and said loudly: "Mu Heng's Secret Realm has been open for a hundred years, so I will not explain everything else. This time, the Secret Realm will be opened for five days, and after five days, it will automatically spread.

Everyone said in unison, "Disciple understands!"

Shen Zheheng nodded in satisfaction: "Go in!"

The Shen Family people were naturally the first batch, Mu Xiaoling was surrounded in the center, and then she walked into the light screen.

She only felt her eyes darken, and when she saw the light again, she was in a charred land. There were many people around her, and all of them were wearing clothes similar to Shen Family.

A slightly mean looking girl walked over, giggled and said, "You must be Lady Mu, my name is Shen Dia."

Mu Xiaoling nodded slightly.

Shen Dia said, "This Mu Ling Secret Realm has been thoroughly explored long ago. We have a map with us, why don't you come with us?"

"Alright." Mu Xiaoling wanted to see what kind of tricks these people were playing.

She had a total of six people in this group, four men and two women. Other than Shen Dia, there was also one other person who was Shen Zheheng's younger sister, Shen Zhiruo.

Shen Zhiruo was a little absent-minded, walking in the group, but she did not need to do anything. The four Shen Family men surrounded her, flattering her, arranging everything well, even Shen Dia was flattering Shen Zhiruo non-stop.

Mu Xiaoling saw all of this, but she did not say a word. To her surprise, when they found the first spiritual herb that could concoct pills, they did not give it to Shen Zhiruo, but instead gave it to him.

The man who brought the grass over had a rather honest appearance, his name was Shen Bao, "This spiritual herb is the main ingredient of the Rejuvenation Pill, you keep it."

Mu Xiaoling did not accept it, there were many good things inside her Spatial Ring, and she did not lack a single spirit herb of ordinary quality, "One should not accept without merit, many thanks."

Shen Zhiruo also looked over: "You are a guest, here, take it."

Mu Xiaoling quietly swept through everyone's expression, and still kept the spirit grass into her pocket.

This was only the beginning, there weren't any ferocious beasts in Mu Ling's secret realm. The few of them walked forward and occasionally picked up some spirit herbs and ores, giving the majority to Mu Xiaoling, leaving behind some poor quality ones.

Mu Xiaoling didn't want it at first, but he gave it to her later on.

These people were too deliberate. It was as if they were trying to bribe her to run away.

When it was dark, they found a cave and lit a bonfire to rest.

Mu Xiaoling borrowed Shen Dia's map and looked at it silently. Mu Ling's Secret Realm was very small, in another day, they would have reached the end of their road.

Aside from the route on the map, there were other marks. For example, where the immature spiritual herbs were found, and where the top quality ores were found. Only one of them was an exception.

She pointed to a strange architectural design on the map and asked, "Where is this place?"

This question silenced everyone. For a moment, the cave was incomparably silent.

A hint of panic flashed across Shen Dia's face, but she recovered the fastest and replied, "That was an abandoned Divine Temple. I don't know what it was used for, it's been a long time since someone went there."

Mu Xiaoling glanced at them, "So it's like that."

"You must be thirsty. Come and drink some water." Shen Zhiruo handed over a leather water bag.

"Thank you very much." Mu Xiaoling took it, and took the lid off, but just as she was about to drink, he heard a scream from her brain, "Don't drink!"

Mu Xiaoling spoke to the Taotie in her consciousness: Taotie, what's wrong?

The Taotie said: "There is a knockout drug in the water, it seems to be Ten Day Fragrance Powder, and it's even of low quality. I just smell it and I know, if you drink it, you will definitely sleep for 10 days and 10 nights."

So that's how it was.

Mu Xiaoling understood in her heart. She placed the water bag against her lips, pretended to wipe it, and returned it back to Shen Zhiruo. However, after a while, she yawned and fell backwards, as if she had lost consciousness.

Shen Dia pushed Mu Xiaoling again, seeing that she really had no reaction, she heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Zhiruo: "Cousin sister, is this method really feasible?"

I have the Inherent Skill to drive beasts, and with just a glance, I can tell that her Inherent Skill is the same as mine. As long as we enter the Divine Temple and use her as a sacrifice, we can definitely summon out that Ancient Fox.

"The Ancient Fox!" Shen Dia was almost envious to death, but she had only ordinary Martial Spirit Inherent Skills and was unable to drive away the beasts, "It's said that it's a spirit beast that came from the Upper Realm, there's only this one in the entire world. If it was given to our cousin, our Shen Family could naturally defeat the Mu Family and become the number one clan in the Yan Nation."

"Of course." Shen Zhiruo raised her head proudly, "Others might think that the Mu Ling Secret Realm is already worthless, but I didn't know that the most valuable thing was still within the Secret Realm.

Shen Bao could not help but worry: "But does Lady Mu have any problems? I keep having the feeling that she's not simple."

"She can still wake up after being hit by my Ten Day Fragrance Powder." Shen Zhiruo said impatiently: "You guys keep an eye on her, Ancient Fox only appear when they use a talented being as a sacrifice, if an accident happens and she runs away, my brother will definitely not let you guys go."
