It was Consort Xie, the wealthy woman who had helped him earn his first pot of gold in order to find a dog. The Wang family and the Xie family had misunderstood her as his "exclusive property"! Wasn't she a pitiful woman who had been betrothed to Wang Xiongzhuang but was unable to have sex with him? Why had she come to the Venerable secret realm?
Judging from the way the women were whispering to each other, she seemed to be quite familiar with Hong Zhu and the others!
Apart from the four women, there were two young men standing at the side of the seclusion area. They seemed to be helping to keep watch.
One of the men stood closer to Xiao Chen. He was dressed in white, while the other was dressed in fiery red. Both of them had grave expressions on their faces.
The conversation that Xiao Chen had heard earlier was most likely between the white-clothed man and Hong Zhu. Hong Zhu's voice was soft and coarse, and it was very easy to recognize. Xiao Chen was the closest to the white-clothed man, so his divine sense was the first to detect them.
"Why don't … we try again?" The white-clothed man didn't listen to Shen Jingxuan's suggestion. Clearly unwilling to give up, he continued to earnestly persuade them. "Most importantly, we don't have much time left. The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. If we don't take this opportunity to raise everyone's strength to the Venerable realm, we'll have to wait for another year. We can't afford to waste time!"
"Song Qingshu, aren't you a little too heartless? It's already so late, and everyone has been working hard for the entire day. It wasn't easy for them to reach the peak of the King realm, and they've already failed to reach the Venerable realm so many times. Why do they have to try again? Can't we continue tomorrow? "Hong Zhu frowned and objected in a very harsh tone.
Hong Zhu was already in a very bad mood. Because she hadn't found enough women with Spiritual Qi to participate in the sacrificial ceremony, she had hurriedly returned from the secular world to the Hong Clan. Apart from being scolded by the Hong Clan's patriarch, she was also forced to rush to the Venerable secret realm with a few other women to raise their cultivation.
Fortunately, the location of the Hong Family was very close to the pier of the Venerable Realm. Thus, Hong Zhu and the others were able to arrive at the scene just before the entrance to the Venerable Realm was about to close, pay the spirit jades, and enter the Venerable Realm.
After Little Miss Xing met up with Elder Sun, they saw several figures at the transportation point before they left. It was Hong Zhu's group, the last group before the entrance to the secret realm closed.
In fact, Hong Zhu was also very clear that since Old Patriarch Hong had ordered her to break through to the Venerable realm, he definitely intended for her to participate in the sacrificial ceremony!
Naturally, she was unwilling from the bottom of her heart, but she could not resist the enraged Old Master Hong. She could only obediently follow Shen Jingxuan, Hong Yan, and Xie Fei into the mystic realm.
Originally, Hong Zhu had secretly planned to delay for a period of time. Once he had broken through to the Martial Venerable realm, he would look for an opportunity to escape and hide in the secular world.
She hadn't expected Song Qingshu to keep urging her. An inexplicable anger burned in her heart, and she didn't speak as politely as before.
"Big Sister, don't complain. In any case, we're already here, so let's hurry up and give it another try! Who knows, we might be able to successfully break through to the Venerable realm next time? "Hong Yan didn't object and gently persuaded her.
Hong Yan was obedient and obedient, and she had always been very obedient to the orders of her family. At this moment, she was also hoping that she could quickly raise her cultivation and contribute her meager strength to the family.
"Hong Yan, why do I feel that you're a little biased towards Song Qingshu? Could it be that the two of you are secretly having an affair? "Hong Zhu glanced at Hong Yan and suddenly chuckled.
"You … What nonsense are you talking about? Song Qingshu and I are innocent, and I've already sworn to never marry in my life. Don't you know about this? " Hong Yan had always been a reserved and obedient girl, so how could she withstand Hong Yan's teasing? Her face instantly flushed red.
"I don't know about that. Recently, I've noticed that the two of you are often in the same boat, and even your tones are similar. I thought that the two of you were secretly together!" Hong Zhu's expression didn't change, and she continued to speak with a smile, but anyone could see that she was impatient.
"Hong Zhu, you've misunderstood. There really is nothing between me and Hong Yan. It's just that we have the same goal …" Song Qingshu's throat was dry as she tried her best to explain.
"Alright, enough with the pleasantries!" Hong Zhu interrupted Song Qingshu with a wave of her hand, and playfully shrugged. She found a place to sit down, yawned, and said, "My sister has a lot of ideas, and it's her freedom to be with whoever she wants. In any case, I can't do anything about it. I'm going to rest now, and we'll talk about cultivation tomorrow!"
"You!!" Hong Yan stomped her feet in frustration at Hong Zhu's sarcastic words. Looking at Hong Zhu's lazy expression, Hong Yan knew that there was no way she could convince Hong Zhu to continue cultivating today, so she simply turned her face away, pouted her lips and sulked.
Shen Jingxuan and Xie Fei both felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. They wanted to step forward and be the peacemaker, but they felt that this was the Hong Family's matter, and it wasn't appropriate for them to get involved. Thus, in the end, they could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and silently waited at the side.
As for Third Young Master Hong, he was even more helpless. Song Qingshu hadn't even finished speaking when she was interrupted. Was she supposed to go up and provoke them?
After all, this was a fight between women, and as a man, it wasn't appropriate for him to intervene. It was better to wait for them to slowly calm down!
"Little Hong Zhu, Goddess Shen, since the two of you want to break through to the Martial Supremacy realm so badly, why don't you let me come up with an idea?" Just as the atmosphere in the seclusion area became extremely stagnant, and everyone was silent as they prepared to rest, a voice suddenly came from the nearby forest.
As soon as the voice finished, a figure slowly walked out of the fog.
"Who is it!" Song Qingshu's body tensed up, and she immediately circulated her mental cultivation method. She vigilantly looked at the blurry figure in the distance, and secretly blamed herself for being too careless. She was so focused on discussing the breakthrough method with Hong Zhu and the others that she even forgot to spread out her divine sense!
Third Young Master Hong quickly stood up as well. His body trembled, and he displayed the strength of a peak fourth-level Martial Supremacy. His eyes were like two sharp swords that had been unsheathed as he stared at the newcomer. His entire body was slightly arched, like a ferocious tiger that was ready to attack at any time.
The few absent-minded women in the seclusion area were slightly stunned, and their gazes also turned to the figure walking over from the distance. Shen Jingxuan and Hong Zhu were a little puzzled. This person's voice sounded very familiar! Could it be someone they knew?
Especially Shen Jingxuan. She didn't know why, but at this moment, her heart suddenly started pounding. She stared unblinkingly at the figure, and her delicate fists were tightly clenched. She looked extremely nervous, but she was completely unaware of it.
