Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 482 Entering the Secret Realm

"Let's go in too."

Qin Wu spoke calmly.

Previously he didn't want to take risks, but now that there was no danger, Qin Wu no longer hesitated.

After Qin Wu finished speaking, the group entered the secret realm directly.

Upon entering, one is immediately struck by a refreshing feeling.

This place is like a fairyland, with birds singing and flowers blooming; it doesn't seem like there's any danger here at all.

However, it was precisely this environment that caused the deaths of a large number of powerful Immortal Emperors, and not only that, it also devoured the lives of countless ferocious beasts.

In the past, who would have thought this place would be like this?

It was something that almost no one could believe.

Even Qin Wu had never seen such a picturesque landscape.

However, Qin Wu was only amazed for a moment before recovering.

He knew very well that the better the scenery, the more dangerous it was.

Even Qin Wu felt a sense of apprehension here. If he felt apprehensive, it meant that there was a great crisis in this secret realm.

"Be careful, everyone! This place isn't as simple as it seems."

"Also, everyone, are you planning to act together or split up?"

Qin Wu inquired.

Ahead lies a vast jungle; if everyone gathers together, the gains will be limited.

However, these were all his allies who supported him wholeheartedly, so he couldn't directly suggest splitting up the operation.

Now it depends on what the other forces decide.

"We are prepared to act alone."

The dragon clan chief spoke first.

He didn't want to act with other forces, otherwise he would have to share some of the benefits.

It's more comfortable to act alone.

"Let's plan to act separately first and then regroup later!"

Apart from the Qin clan chief, everyone else decided to act alone.

They each had their own agendas and none of them wanted to share the treasure they had acquired.

"Alright, Great Clan Chief, what about you?"

Qin Wu did not refuse, nor did he want to act with other forces, as that would only drag him down.

If they encounter danger, they will need him to protect them.

Qin Wu had no intention of being their free babysitter.

"Let's go together! We're the smallest group going in this time, and going it alone would be too risky."

The Qin clan chief said decisively.

Before they came in, they followed Qin Wu's advice and left all those below the late stage of Immortal Emperor outside.

Therefore, there were only about twenty people who came in, and it wouldn't be the best option for them to act alone.

Moreover, they were originally from the same clan as Qin Wu, so no one could say anything if they acted together.

"Alright, then let's part ways here!"

Qin Wu nodded slightly.

After all, the number of people he brought in this time was about the same as the number of people brought in by the Qin clan, and acting together could help the Qin clan reduce some of their losses.

The stronger the Qin clan remains, the more advantageous it will be for him.

He will need the help of the Qin clan later.

Furthermore, the Qin clan has always treated him well, and Qin Wu will not let them suffer losses in vain.

After everyone made their decisions, they parted ways.

It wasn't just Qin Wu's side; other forces were the same way—they were all unwilling to share their benefits with others.

And so, all the top powers went their separate ways to explore the secret realm.

Moreover, they have chosen different paths, and none of them want to fight to the death with other forces in the early stages.

They all wanted to conserve their strength and wait for the final battle to claim the ultimate treasure.

Only after the top forces have left will it be the turn of the first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate forces.

However, they all deliberately avoided the direction in which the top forces had left, as they did not want to confront them now.

They have no chance of winning against them now, and no one would risk their life for it.

After Qin Wu and his men left, they did not continue forward, but instead hid themselves.

This puzzled the Qin clan chief. Why stop exploring the secret realm instead of seizing the time? Wouldn't that cause them to fall behind the other forces?

"Qin Wu, what's going on?"

With doubts in his mind, the Qin clan chief asked directly.

"No rush, let the others go and scout ahead first."

Qin Wu did not offer any further explanation.

Just now, he sensed danger ahead.

Since there is a crisis, let others try first, and only when he is absolutely certain will he take action.

"I'm afraid no one will come if we choose this direction, right?"

The Qin clan chief was somewhat puzzled. In his understanding, no force would be willing to confront them at this time, and naturally, they would not choose to follow the same path as them.

Qin Wu did not answer, but simply gestured for the Qin clan leader to look behind him.

Sure enough, the next moment, dozens of figures appeared where they had just been.

The Qin clan chief recognized the person immediately.

This is a person from a first-rate force, belonging to the Immortal Vein. This force is best at tracking.

He never expected that the Immortal Vein would send people to keep an eye on them.

"The people of the Illusion Sect certainly have a good method when it comes to immortal veins."

The Qin clan chief sneered.

Just then, a sound came from outside.

"Elder, have we been discovered? How did the Qin clan and the people of the Great Qin Dynasty suddenly disappear?"

One person asked, quite puzzled.

They were sent to track the Qin clan, but they lost them as soon as they entered.

If their superiors find out, they'll probably all be punished.

"I don't know. They probably haven't discovered us. Otherwise, given the way the Qin clan and the Great Qin Dynasty do things, they definitely wouldn't tolerate us. They're probably just being careful and using some kind of treasure to conceal their presence while traveling."

"Everyone disperse to search for clues."

The person referred to as the elder pondered for a moment before speaking.

He didn't believe anyone could discover them; the people who came this time were all skilled at tracking and hiding.

He didn't believe anyone could find them as long as they didn't expose themselves.

The only possibility is that the two major powers used some kind of treasure to conceal their presence for safety reasons.

"Yes."

After receiving the elder's order, all the dozens of people dispersed.

"They're not afraid of death at all; they even brought in Immortal Kings."

Qin Wu couldn't help but sneer at the scene.

Qin Wu didn't know if these people were just overconfident in their own strength, or if they thought they had lived too long.

Even Immortal Emperors couldn't survive, yet they thought their hidden abilities were enough to survive in this secret realm.

"Perhaps it's confidence! After all, their hidden power is well-known throughout the Upper Domain. They once even assassinated a Celestial Emperor with the strength of a peak Celestial King."

Clan Chief Qin did not underestimate these people from the Illusion Sect.

Although this sect is only a second-rate sect, most first-rate sects are unwilling to offend them.

They do have some skills.

However, Qin Wu was very disdainful. If these people didn't have treasures that concealed their aura, they wouldn't even be qualified to join his secret guard.

How can someone like this become famous in the upper-class domain? I wonder just how bad the hiding methods of the upper-class domain really are.

"Have someone lead them to the front."

Qin Wu did not reply to the Qin clan chief's words, but spoke in a calm tone.

After receiving Qin Wu's order, the hidden guards disappeared from the spot.
