Chapter Seventy-Six: The Undercurrent

"It's a demon eater." Ye Yousheng's tone was low, "The people here use demon devouring as a sacrificial item during the grand ceremony, thinking that this is atonement. I, I, and Shen Yingyao were originally helping them catch the demon devourer, but it turned out to be ......."

He told what happened in the Demon Devouring Lair, and when it came to Shen Yingyao, he hesitated, but after realizing that as long as he was still in the secret realm, he couldn't get around Shen Yingyao, so he still told him about acting with Shen Yingyao.

"When the two of you were acting together, did you run into Lin Han?" Qin Zhen asked.

"No, but she knows it." Ye Yousheng lowered his head.

Qin Zhen actually didn't care much about who Ye Yousheng was acting with. After all, although Ye Yousheng is her junior brother, she can't let Ye Yousheng not get along with those people in the sect because of her hatred. As long as Ye Yousheng is willing, and those people have no bad intentions towards him, she will not interfere.

It's just that she was worried that Lin Han would think more about it when she knew that Ye Yousheng and Shen Yingyao were acting together, and felt that this was a signal that she could hint that they could cooperate. If Lin Han is directly incorporated into their team by default, it will be a little difficult to say what they want to do to Qianyuanzong in the future.

However, seeing Ye Yousheng bow his head in disappointment, Qin Hao still comforted him gently: "It's okay, Ah Sheng, you can meet whoever you want, it won't affect me." The more you experience in the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the future, the more friends you will know, and you only need to judge whether others can make friends according to your thoughts, and you don't have to think about me."

"......" Ye Yousheng pursed his lips, but he didn't respond, and he didn't know if he had listened to Qin Zhen's words.

"It's more important to you now." Qin Zhen looked intently at Ye Yousheng's eyes, "How is your game going?"

Ye Yousheng then repeated the rules of this competition to Qin Zhen again: "But no one has pulled down the flag yet, and only once has there been a projection, but I suspect that it was a trap set by Lin Han and her senior brother, and it was not really a flag."

"It's a bit of a hassle, and I didn't give any clues about the flag." Qin Zhen thought for a while, "But if you can't get ten flags, you can't end the game, and as long as someone takes the flag first, it will be projected to everyone, so there are definitely not a few people waiting for others to do it first, after all, this is the most convenient way."

"It's just that I don't know if the flag on the devouring demon that the sect master took away is the one for the competition." Ye Yousheng continued, "We saw the other two monks participating in the Occultation Sect when it was not closed, and then when we came out of the Occultation City, we saw the monks who were looking for Shen Yingyao to seek revenge, and apart from Lin Han and Changsun Yi, the other more than 100 monks have not seen it."

"yes, I see." Qin Zhen nodded slightly.

The two happened to stop in front of an inn, and the guy who greeted them at the door saw that the two of them were fresh faces, so they greeted them warmly, and when they were about to speak, they saw Zhou Zhirong and didn't know where they came from.

"Xiao Liu, this is my guest." He gave the fellow a look.

The guy understood, and threw his hand at him: "I was mistaken, I was mistaken." As he spoke, he didn't look at Qin Zhen and them again, and hurriedly went to find other fresh faces to solicit customers.

"Little brother, I came to you as soon as I was busy with things, so I didn't neglect you." Zhou Zhirong wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and said apologetically.

"No, I can walk around myself." Ye Yousheng said.

"Alas, you are a guest of our Occult City, and our future brother, how can you be here by yourself, this is not our hospitality." Zhou Zhirong waved his hand and looked at Qin Zhen again, "This girl is also from another town."

"I've heard of the grand occasion of the Hidden Sun City for a long time, but I haven't had a chance. This time, I finally have some free time to enjoy it." Qin Zhen smiled.

"Don't worry! We won't let you down!" Zhou Zhirong laughed, patted his chest, and assured her, then changed the conversation and asked, "I wonder if this girl has a place to stay?" Z.br>

Qin Zhen shook her head: "I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm still here

I don't know anything."

"Then you've hit the right person." Zhou Zhirong said proudly, "If you want to experience the festival completely, you can't live in an inn, you have to eat and live with the residents here, so that you can experience the highest pleasure when the festival is officially held. This little brother lives in my house now, and I see that you have a good conversation, so why don't you come to our house together?"

Qin Zhen inquired about Zhou Zhirong in her heart, but she looked embarrassed on her face: "I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient, I'd better go find an inn."

Zhou Zhirong saw that she hurriedly glanced at Ye Yousheng and herself, and turned her head with an embarrassed expression, and immediately understood that she felt that it was inappropriate for her to live with them as a woman, so she rolled her eyes and proposed: "In this way, I have a pair of sisters I know, they are now moving out by themselves, and the room is also empty, and they are also close to our sect master, it is more convenient for you to be with them."

As he spoke, he waved his hand to Zheng Yunmin and Zheng Yunwan, who had been standing not far behind, to come over.

"This ......" Qin Hao was about to make a refusal move, but Zheng Yunwan had already smiled and held her hand: "This sister looks young, but if she can come to Cover Sun City alone, she must also be a person with ideas. Since you came to the Occultation City to watch the grand ceremony, you naturally have to get the best experience, otherwise wouldn't you come for nothing? You can rest assured that you will follow me and my sister, and we will take good care of you."

Compared with Zheng Yunmin's blunt face, Zheng Yunwan looks delicate and tactful, and her voice is a little charming, and the whole person looks very harmless, which is easy to make people feel good.

"Well, thank you to this sister." Qin Zhen looked a little embarrassed, blushing slightly and letting Zheng Yunwan hold her.

Ye Yousheng was stunned from the sidelines, he never thought that such a gentle and serious senior sister on weekdays would be able to make such an expression. If he hadn't known his senior sister and knew that she was acting now, he really wouldn't have been able to tell how much of the expression on her face was true and how much was fake.

Seeing that Qin Hao's problem was solved, Zhou Zhirong was going to take Ye Yousheng to continue to walk around the Occultation City. Ye Yousheng wanted to go back and say something to Qin Hao, but he only caught a glimpse of Qin Hao's left index finger making a tapping motion.

He then pretended to be just looking around, and after looking around, he naturally withdrew his gaze and followed Zhou Zhirong in the opposite direction of them.

Here, Zheng Yunwan had already grabbed Qin Zhen's arm intimately, and said softly, "This is my sister Zheng Yunmin, my name is Zheng Yunwan, what should my sister be called?"

Qin Hao said her name in a slow voice, and then remembered that when she met them in reality, she never seemed to say her name.

"That's a nice name, can I call you Zhenzhen?" Zheng Yunwan looked very kind, "Is Zhen Zhen a monk from outside? It feels like you're a little different from us."

"Well, but it's not a monk, but I've just learned a little bit of self-protection." Qin Zhen said.

She maintained a shy look in front of the two, looking like she was a girl who was going out for the first time and was a little afraid of being an introvert.

"It's amazing that you're here alone. Our city is very far away from the other towns, and it will not be easy to get to the city." Zheng Yunwan smiled, as if she said casually.

"Has Sister Wan been to any other places?" Qin Zhen didn't answer her doubts directly, but asked her instead.

"Of course I did. It's just that there was only one time, and I went with the sect master, our young sect master was not in good health, and the sect master heard others say that there was a way to treat the young sect master outside, so he took us with him." Zheng Yunwan said.

If this is really a completely fictional secret realm, then Zheng Yunwan's cognition of the outside world can only be forcibly added in the setting. Unless this secret realm really completely simulates the life trajectory of everyone in the past, and also reproduces other surrounding towns, then it can explain why there is only one city, but until now, Ye Yousheng has only seen a dozen monks, and the other hundred or so participating monks have not even touched each other.

Only if the map is big enough to spread everyone apart.

But if that's the case, then as the end of the race, "Secret

The highest place of the realm" is very doubtful.

How big is the whole secret realm? Do you have to run through all the towns in the secret realm to find the highest place?

Qin Zhen remembered that Zheng Yunwan had said that the highest part of the Occultation City was the tower that was only opened when the Occultation Sect held a grand ceremony. But now there are no flags, and there is no way to verify whether this tower is the "highest place in the secret realm" or not.

Is it necessary for Shen Qifeng to set up this secret realm so cumbersomely?

Qin Zhen imagined that as the sect leader of the leading sect in Xingzhou, he was now going to select ten of the strongest new generation monks for Xingzhou and send them to Zhongzhou to show his strength in Xingzhou.

Then this secret realm is to be able to reasonably select the ten people with the strongest comprehensive strength, otherwise when you go to Zhongzhou and lose embarrassed, you will lose more than just the face of the person who lost.

Therefore, although Shen Qifeng used means to make Shen Yingyao enter the second round of auditions, he only gave him a magic weapon to save his life and took back the offensive magic weapon. Because he only had to keep Shen Yingyao from entering the secret realm, it was enough, so that Shen Yingyao would not be knocked out of the competition platform in front of the public and lose the face of Qianyuanzong.

As for entering the secret realm, because there is a rule that life and death do not matter, as long as Shen Yingyao can come out alive, even if he doesn't get the flag, he can casually pull the name of a dead person and say that he was framed by this person, and he has no time to pull out the flag.

On the contrary, if Shen Yingyao was really allowed to go to Zhongzhou, then Shen Qifeng would be worried.

From the theft of Qianyuanzong, it can be seen that people from other states have already set their sights on Qianyuanzong, and these people in the shadows don't know when they will launch the next attack on Qianyuanzong, and it is unknown whether the next time it will still be a small fight or a real move.

Therefore, sending Shen Yingyao to Zhongzhou is undoubtedly sending him to death. Without figuring out who the real culprit was behind it, it was impossible for Shen Qifeng to let Shen Yingyao step out of Xingzhou or even half a step out of Yangping City.
