Chapter 86 Reversal of the Secret Realm
Chang Yuan made quick decisions, sprinted even faster, and fired bullets that were faster than a person.
However, it was ultimately too late.
Before the formation was completely destroyed, the gate to the secret realm had already opened.
The protectors of the three major cults, who were constantly hunted by the Imperial Guards, were all masters of escape and entered the secret realm without hesitation.
Secret Realms are extraordinary phenomena that have only emerged in the last hundred years.
The environment within the secret realm is bizarre and the rules are twisted and unpredictable; the probability of death does not decrease simply because one is stronger.
Whether ordinary people or extraordinary individuals, the risks they face upon entering the secret realm differ, but the mortality rate is almost identical.
However, these perilous secret realms yield many precious medicines, materials, and even extraordinary treasures that do not exist in reality.
Even a single medicinal herb could be a treasure that cures terminal illnesses and helps people break through to the extraordinary.
It can be said that the explosion in the number of extraordinary individuals over the past century is closely related to the frequent appearance of secret realms.
Therefore, whenever a secret realm appears, the Imperial Guards, cults, Taoists, and Buddhists will send their disciples in to increase their chances of obtaining treasures by using their numerical advantage.
People at the bottom of society are also willing to take risks, as this is a rare opportunity to prove themselves by working hard.
Even if you only manage to bring out one herb alive, it's enough to change your destiny.
If one is lucky enough to obtain a second-tier Spirit Condensation Treasure from a secret realm, it can change the fate of one's entire family.
They weren't even worried about their superiors killing them to cover their tracks or taking credit for their work.
Those who manage to leave the secret realm alive are all people with great fortune.
The better the treasure you acquire, the stronger your luck will be.
Especially those who manage to obtain magical treasures and leave smoothly are practically all treasures of good fortune.
They don't even need to do anything; just staying quietly within the organization will bring good fortune to the entire organization, subtly influencing all aspects of its operation.
It's not that there aren't arrogant leaders who, in order to demonstrate their authority, will deliberately sabotage those whose destiny has been verified.
History over the past century has proven that anyone or any organization that does this will suffer a backlash from bad luck.
Such a person will be inexplicably targeted by powerful individuals and die in the street in a daze.
Their organization was targeted by the Ming Dynasty without warning and was crushed by overwhelming suppression.
Or perhaps they encounter all sorts of minor accidents and, amidst countless absurd troubles, naturally decline.
The various combat squads of the Embroidered Uniform Guard rushed into the secret realm gate without hesitation.
But Chang Yuan stopped at the door and grabbed Lu Linglong's arm, saying, "You can't come in!"
Lu Linglong glared at him and asked, "Why? Do you think I'm someone lacking in luck?"
The girl was clearly furious and didn't even argue that she had been called "thigh".
Chang Yuandao said, "Of course not, but you possess too many treasures. Those with great fortune will be drawn to your treasures, making you the target of everyone's attacks!"
Lu Linglong was startled and asked anxiously, "Then I'll put everything outside..."
Chang Yuan said, "Then the entrance to this secret realm will be a complete mess."
Lu Linglong: "..."
Ignoring the girl's sullen expression, Chang Yuan directly ordered, "Li Hui, Han Ye, you two stay here to protect Commander Lu and prevent the cultists from escaping through the gate."
"yes!"
"Gao Su, do you dare to come in and fight with me?"
"It would be my great honor!"
Chang Yuan laughed heartily and turned to step into the secret realm without the slightest hesitation.
With a palm grenade in his left hand and a revolver in his right, Gao Su followed Chang Yuan and rushed in.
As you pass through the gate to the secret realm, the surrounding world suddenly changes.
The secret realm was shrouded in a gray haze, devoid of sun, moon, and stars, and lacking lush vegetation and life; the air was also chillingly cold.
The moment Chang Yuan stepped into the secret realm, his heart tightened and his hair stood on end.
He raised his hand to stop Gao Su in his tracks: "Something's not right. Be careful!"
Gao Su asked, puzzled, "Captain, do we really have to stop?"
"I don't sense any danger, and look at all those Imperial Guards coming in front of us; they're besieging the enemy."
Chang Yuan glanced at the battle not far away and gritted his teeth, saying, "I know, but I sense danger..."
"Trust me, wait a moment!"
"This is a secret realm. We can't rush into battle, and we can't wander around."
Gao Su was even more puzzled: "But what if all the things are taken by others..."
Chang Yuan glanced at him: "It's not like someone else got it, it's like it was taken out!"
Gao Su instantly understood: treasures could not only be found, but also stolen!
Even if they can't rob their fellow Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards), they can still rob the cultists who have entered the secret realm.
But Gao Su still felt uneasy: "Captain, there are over a hundred of our Embroidered Uniform Guards who have come in, while the cultists only have three chief protectors, one of whom you even hit on the head."
"There are too many monks and not enough meat, how are we supposed to compete?"
Chang Yuan pointed at the three cult protectors who were being besieged and sneered, "If they were isolated and helpless, why would they be besieged in the secret realm for obtaining such a crucial treasure? Or would they abandon the treasure and leave the secret realm to save their own lives?"
Gao Su was startled again, but before he could say anything, the secret realm suddenly began to tremble violently.
The epicenter was those three cult protectors who were besieged.
They emitted countless yin energies, which instantly spread to a vast area.
The dense yin energy merged with the mysterious power within the secret realm, surging and converging once more, transforming into countless mysterious runes that densely clustered in mid-air, constructing an unprecedentedly complex three-dimensional magic array.
Accompanied by the maniacal laughter of the three cult protectors, countless dark figures coalesced into human forms within the magic array, densely packed and layered, numbering in the hundreds.
These human figures varied in height, but all wore uniform black cloaks adorned with mysterious, blood-red runes that resonated with the magic array.
As the magic array operated, strong spatial fluctuations appeared on the black humanoid figure, indicating that it was replacing people outside the secret realm.
Some of the shadowy figures failed to be replaced and were torn apart by the excessively strong spatial fluctuations, disappearing completely with screams.
Most of the shadowy figures successfully completed the swap, and the people swapped in possessed powerful and evil auras; they were the most elite cultivators of various cults!
The situation suddenly reversed.
The attack on the three major evil cult protectors by hundreds of imperial guards has turned into being surrounded by more than four hundred evil cult cultivators.
The Grand Protector of the Heavenly Principle Sect tidied his disheveled hair with both hands: "Finally, finally, we've been fooled!"
The White Lotus Sect's Grand Protector, straightening his tattered robes, grinned maliciously, "Our dozen or so sects joined forces and spent hundreds of days establishing this stronghold in the valley, not just to seize the treasures of the secret realm."
"You lackeys of the imperial court are also our targets!"
"The two thousand seven hundred believers who died outside were bait to lure you into a trap!"
The Left Protector of the Sun Moon Holy Sect, clutching the two bullet holes between his eyebrows and the back of his head, said weakly but fiercely, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Kill! Kill them all, leave no survivors!"
"Then we can free up our hands to prepare for the next wave of Imperial Guards."
"This time, we must wipe out a thousand elite Jinyiwei, slaughter so many of their extraordinary members that they won't be able to recover for ten years!"
