Chapter 1227: Chapter 1231: Entering (Part 1)

Next, a jade token appeared in Princess Consort Le’s hand.

Then she gave a light leap, rising about a meter and a half off the ground.

The hand holding the Jade Pendant pressed down on an inconspicuous raised spot.

In the blink of an eye, the Jade Pendant vanished.

As she landed, Princess Consort Le’s right hand formed a palm, and she slapped the stone wall with seven light and three heavy strikes.

After doing all this, she stood motionless on the spot, eyes fixed on the stone wall.

If an outsider saw this, they’d probably think Princess Consort Le was crazy.

Even Lin Xi actually didn’t quite know what to say.

The method of entering this Secret Realm was indeed a bit out of the ordinary.

Of course, its safety was really incredibly high.

Who would think to press a Jade Pendant onto a raised stone?

And who would strike the stone wall with seven light and three heavy blows, and even hit in a specific pattern?

Not to mention, who can jump that high?

After the two of them waited about a minute, the stone wall that had just been hard as iron began to emit a faint halo, like the color of dusk.

"We’re going in!" Princess Consort Le glanced at Lin Xi, then stepped straight through.

The next moment, she disappeared from where she’d been.

Lin Xi took a look, then stepped in as well.

The feeling was basically the same as the last two times he entered a Secret Realm.

His vision blurred, and he saw Princess Consort Le standing beside him just like outside, as if she had never moved.

But the place where the two of them stood had completely changed.

Outside just now, it had been stone wall and forest.

Now they were inside the main hall of a house.

Not far away in the hall, four women dressed similarly to Princess Consort Le were standing there, looking at the two with respectful expressions.

Only, their faces instantly changed, turning into a wary look.

One of the women, who was holding a Jade Pendant, exclaimed in shock, "Why is it you?"

If Lin Xi wasn’t mistaken, that Jade Pendant was exactly the one Princess Consort Le had pressed in her hand just now.

It seemed this was one of the passes.

And judging from the change in these four’s expressions before and after,

he could roughly judge that the Jade Pendant in Princess Consort Le’s hand should have belonged to Le Tian.

These few thought Le Tian had come back.

They just never expected that the ones returning were Princess Consort Le and him.

A metallic "zheng" rang out.

Four metallic sounds echoed through the entire building.

"Didn’t expect them to actually use melee weapons." Lin Xi watched the four draw the longswords at their waists and couldn’t help muttering in his heart.

At his side, Princess Consort Le looked at the four sword-drawing women, a trace of anger flashing across her face as she snorted coldly, "Red Moon, why couldn’t it be me?"

"And with the way you’re acting now, are you planning to make a move on me?"

Red Moon, the woman who had just been holding the Jade Pendant, signaled the three beside her with her eyes, clearly not intending to back down.

On the contrary, they tightened into a ring, forming a circle of encirclement, looking like they would strike the moment Princess Consort Le made the slightest move.

Only after they formed the encirclement did she answer, "How do you have Le Tian’s Jade Pendant?"

"Where is Le Tian?"

As for what Princess Consort Le had just asked, she did not answer directly.

Seeing the four like this, Princess Consort Le’s expression grew even uglier.

"Le Tian is already dead!" she said.

The moment those words left her mouth, the atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive.

Murderous intent burst out openly from Red Moon’s eyes. "You actually killed Elder Le Tian. Do you have any idea what a huge crime that is, you sinner who was expelled from the sect!"

Princess Consort Le almost laughed from anger. "Sinner?"

"You’re calling me a sinner?"

"Red Moon, after a few years of not seeing me, you’ve grown quite some guts."

"And another thing, Le Tian wanted to kill me—why couldn’t I kill him?"

At this time her gaze shifted toward the door, a hint of gravity appearing on her face.

She had never expected that Red Moon and the others would want to make a move on her over just a few words.

It seemed the sect had really undergone some major changes.

And she had actually become a sinner.

You had to know she had left the sect by formal withdrawal; back then the Sect Leader and the other elders all agreed, and even said if she ever wanted to come back, she could at any time.

"You’re going to stop me?" She looked at Red Moon again.

Red Moon snorted coldly. "Princess Consort Le, I’m not who I used to be!"

"I’m now also a Peak Soldier King, and my three junior sisters, although a bit weaker, are all top-tier Kings of Soldiers as well."

"The four of us, with some Sword Arrays, dealing with you really shouldn’t be much of a problem."

At this point she paused, and her three junior sisters also nodded, clearly agreeing with her assessment.

"However, I don’t want to clash with you."

"Right now, there’s only one way: you leave the Secret Realm immediately, and I’ll pretend nothing happened today."

A trace of killing intent flashed in Princess Consort Le’s eyes. "Leave the Secret Realm?"

"Are you joking?"

"I’ll ask you one more time—are you leaving or not?" Red Moon’s face grew a bit tense, but her tone was very firm.

Princess Consort Le didn’t even bother to answer her this time and headed straight for the door.

In an instant, Red Moon’s group of four moved with her, maintaining the encirclement as they shifted.

"Stop!"

"If you take one more step, don’t blame us for attacking!" Red Moon shouted, sounding extremely angry.

Although they felt that overall, they were stronger than Princess Consort Le,

if they didn’t have to fight, they would rather not.

Back when Princess Consort Le had still been in the sect, everyone had seen for themselves how strong and how ruthless she was.

So they were still a bit lacking in confidence.

Of course, if Princess Consort Le really walked out of this building, they would have no choice but to attack.

Otherwise, it would be dereliction of duty.

When the sect questioned them later, they would definitely be severely punished.

There was another thing: none of them had the slightest good impression of Princess Consort Le.

"Heh." Princess Consort Le snorted coldly and continued forward.

Lin Xi beside her said nothing either, just kept following along at her side.

Only, the four had already completely ignored Lin Xi.

In their hearts they’d already decided he must be some pretty boy Princess Consort Le was keeping.

Otherwise, with not even a trace of aura on him—meaning, no strength at all—

At the same time, they were also a bit puzzled about Princess Consort Le.

The aura on her seemed a bit different from before.

It was just that "before" was years ago, and they didn’t have that clear an impression.

As for Innate, that had never even crossed their minds.

If Princess Consort Le had stayed in the Secret Realm all these years, stayed in the sect, then there might have been a sliver of hope for her to break through to Innate.

But outside, that was absolutely impossible.

They often guarded this place, so they knew very well what the outside world was like.

The next moment, Red Moon glanced at her three junior sisters and gave a light shout. The four of them raised their swords in unison and thrust toward Princess Consort Le from all angles.
