"How much do you know about the matter of not returning to the secret realm, Brother Zhou?"

Hearing Qing Yu's question, Zhou Fan pondered for a while, and then roughly said the information he knew so far.

"What you know is basically the same as this Taoist master expected."

"If it had been in the past, it would have been fine."

"But now, the situation has changed."

Qing Yu shook his head, picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

"According to the latest information, there seems to be a problem in the inner part of the Non-Return Secret Territory, and it is likely that it will be opened in advance if it has not been a hundred years!"

"The exact timing is not clear, but it is not expected to exceed six months at most."

"And most likely, this will be the last time that the Secret Realm of No Return will appear!"

"Open early?" Zhou Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to be a little surprised.

Apparently he had never received any information about it before.

If this is the case, the previous plan may have to be changed.

It's also a secret realm of the power of the Dan, and it would be a pity to miss it like this.

It seems that the inner door also has to go to it as soon as possible.

After all, the prerequisite for entering the secret realm is that the cultivation must at least reach the open pulse realm.

As for whether he can break through the realm, Zhou Fan is not worried.

The only problem now is that I don't know if this news is true or not.

Anything else is okay, mainly from the mouth of the guy in front of me, and it always feels a little unreliable.

As if guessing what he was thinking, Qing Yu pursed his lips unhappily.

"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?"

"This Taoist chief is kind-hearted, don't be unappreciative."

"In short, this news, but this Taoist chief spent a lot of favor to get it, and it is absolutely true and reliable!"

"Huh." Zhou Fan rolled his eyes.

But for his words, I also believed seventeen, eight, nine.

If so......

"Even if it's true that the secret realm was opened early, if you don't have a 'key', you shouldn't be able to enter it, right?" Zhou Fan said lightly.

He didn't rush to take out the key he had in his hand.

The reason why I asked so much was also a temptation.

"Don't worry, since this Dao Master has come to you, he is naturally well prepared."

Qing Yu didn't notice anything unusual, and with a wave of his palm, a broken jade pendant suddenly appeared on the table.

"I happened to get one not long ago, and one key can bring five people into the secret realm at a time, so Brother Zhou, you don't need to worry about it at all......"

Before he could finish speaking, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

I saw that on the table, there was suddenly an extra jade pendant again.

Except that it looks a little more shabby on the surface, the others are almost exactly the same as my own!

"Brother Zhou... You ......"

Looking at Zhou Fan with a calm expression, Qing Yu's tone was a little stiff.

"Luckily, I picked it up when I went out."

"Picked up ......"

The corners of Qing Yu's eyes couldn't help twitching slightly, and he naturally didn't believe half a word about this nonsense.

You have to know that you want to get a 'key', but ......

Forget it, don't mention that.

Staring at the two jade pendants on the table for a long time, Qing Yu rubbed his chin, as if he remembered something, and his face suddenly became a little excited.

"Brother Zhou, borrow your 'key'!"

After that, he directly reached out and picked up the two jade pendants, and then pasted them back to back.

The next moment.

In Zhou Fan's surprised eyes, the two jade pendants shimmered throughout their bodies, and they actually fused on the spot!

"Haha, that's true!"

"It seems that the legend is true!"

Seeing this, Qing Yu smiled proudly, and then put the fused jade pendant on the table and pushed it over.

Zhou Fan took his hand and looked at it for a moment.

found that the fused jade pendant not only looks bigger than before, but even the word "no return" depicted on the back is much clearer.

At this time, Qing Yu's explanation voice also sounded.

"According to rumors, the old man who did not return made a total of twelve master keys."

"And then after a long period of contention between various forces, the twelve main keys were finally split into hundreds of keys!"

"Although the sub-key also has the function of entering the secret realm, compared to the complete master key, it can only explore the periphery at most, and cannot go to the core location."

"The more complete the key, the more authority you have, and the wider the scope of exploration, it is said that if you can collect and fuse the twelve master keys, you can go directly to the place where the old man sits to receive the inheritance left behind!"

"Of course, this is just a rumor, after all, after so many years, I have never heard of any force that can gather all the keys."

After listening to Qing Yu's explanation, Zhou Fan looked at the jade pendant in his hand and thought in his heart.

Immediately, in front of Qing Yu, he calmly put the jade pendant into his storage ring.

Qing Yu looked at it with a somewhat helpless expression.

"I said Brother Zhou, you are good at everything, but you are a little too cautious."

Zhou Fan turned a deaf ear to his words.

After all, the relationship between the two has not yet reached the point where they can fully trust each other.

"Well, I'll leave the key there for now." Qing Yu finally chose to compromise.

Although he actually had a way to separate the keys, after thinking about it, he didn't mention it.

"As for the situation on the other side of the secret realm, I will keep an eye on it at any time, and if there is any change, I will also keep you informed."

"The most important thing at the moment is to break through the opening realm as soon as possible."

"With Brother Zhou, your qualifications must be no problem, as for the Dao Chief, give me another month, and it should be about the same."

Looking at Qing Yu's confident expression, Zhou Fan was noncommittal.

Next, the two had a brief exchange about the secret realm, and after deciding on the way to contact, they immediately separated.

……

……

Leave the Immortal Mansion.

Zhou Fan didn't continue to wander around, and went straight back to his residence.

The original small dilapidated house has long been replaced by a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

At this time, at the door, Ling Fei was standing there with an anxious face, followed by a strange man.

Seeing him appear, Ling Fei suddenly let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked up to meet him.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his appearance like this, Zhou Fan's eyes couldn't help flashing slightly, and he also had some guesses in his heart.

"Boss, it's not good!"

"Soon after you left, someone claiming to be a disciple of the Inner Gate came to your door and left an envelope behind!"

"Sun Rat, what are you doing standing there stupidly, why don't you take things out quickly!"

Ling Fei's tone was solemn, and after speaking, he shouted towards the man who followed him.

"Okay, okay Phineas."

As his name suggests, Sun Rat Man is not only as timid as a mouse, but even looks like a thief with rat eyes.

Hearing Ling Fei's shout, he hurriedly stepped forward, and in a panic, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

This unbearable performance made Zhou Fan's brows frown slightly, but he didn't say anything at the moment.

At this time, Sun Rat finally came to the two of them, and took out an envelope from his arms with trembling hands.

"Boss, boss, my subordinate is the guard in charge of patrolling today."

"Just about an hour ago, when my subordinates were patrolling, someone suddenly stopped my subordinates, who claimed to be from the inner gate, and left this letter, so that my subordinates must hand it over to the boss!"

Zhou Fan took the envelope casually, but he didn't open it in a hurry, just stared at Sun Mouse.

"In addition to sending a letter, what else did the other party say?"

"Also, do you see what the person who sent the letter looks like?"

In the face of his gaze, Sun Rat seemed to be even more frightened, his whole head buried deep in his chest, and he stumbled when he spoke.

"No... Didn't say anything else. ”

"As for the looks, remember... I can't remember, but the man was walking too fast, and he was... The subordinates didn't have time to see his specific appearance, but remembered that he seemed to be dressed in white. ”

"White?"

Zhou Fan was a little disappointed when he heard this.

It's the same as not saying it.

With just one piece of clothing, he couldn't have guessed someone's identity.

"Alright, you go down first."

Seeing Sun Rat retreat to the side with relief, Zhou Fan didn't pay attention to him anymore.

Looking at the envelope in his hand, he casually picked up the fire paint on the seal and took out the letter inside.

When I opened it, I saw that there was nothing on the letter except for a lifelike sword.

Before he could figure out the meaning of the portrait, Zhou Fan's pupils suddenly shrank, and there was a great crisis in his mind!

The next moment.

I saw that the blade on the letter suddenly twisted, and then turned into an illusory sword shadow, stabbing towards his eyebrows at an extremely fast speed!

At this distance, it's too late to dodge.

"Humph!"

At the critical moment, Zhou Fan didn't have time to think about it, and after snorting coldly, he stood in place and urged the "iron body" with all his might.

However, what he didn't expect was that in the face of his own powerful defense, the sword shadow barely had any pause, and in an instant, it penetrated into the center of his eyebrows and disappeared!

【Ding! Attack from 'Ouyang Qing', EXP +200]

The system prompt pops up!

Meanwhile.

Zhou Fan only felt as if his mind had been hit by a giant hammer, and his vision suddenly turned black!

The next moment, the sword shadow turned into a "dragon" and began to frantically destroy his sea of knowledge!

Fortunately, the talent immortal golden body activated on its own, and it also repaired the injuries suffered at a very fast speed!

"Hmm......"

The two of them destroyed one by one and repaired the other, and the pain caused during this period made even Zhou Fan couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, and the winding "blood snakes" gushed out from all seven orifices, which looked so terrifying.

"Boss!"

The incident happened suddenly, Ling Fei exclaimed, and he couldn't even react to what was happening.

From his point of view, Zhou Fan was just staring at the letter in a daze from beginning to end, but in the next second, the whole person became like this.

"Haha, Zhou Fan, I didn't expect you, you would end up like this!"

"If an adult makes a move, you will definitely die today!"

At this moment, Sun Rat, who was standing on the side, let out a crazy smile, his eyes were fixed on the motionless Zhou Fan, and his eyes showed the pleasure of revenge.

"It's you!"

Ling Fei finally reacted, blaming himself mixed with anger, and suddenly drew his long sword and stabbed at it.

Sun Rat's strength is not very strong.

After barely blocking a few swords, he was stabbed to the ground by a sword.

However, even if he was seriously injured, Sun Rat did not have the slightest fear, with a crazy smile on his face, and he couldn't see the unbearable appearance just now.

"You traitor, you'd better pray that the boss is okay."

"Otherwise, I will let you know what it means to survive and not to die!"

Ling Fei's eyes were full of anger, and he couldn't wait to dismantle it on the spot.

But fortunately, he didn't lose his mind yet, and in the end he only broke Sun Mouse's tendons, and then looked at Zhou Fan worriedly.

The other side.

After the sword shadow wreaked havoc, it finally exhausted all its energy and disappeared from his mind.

"Boss!"

Seeing Zhou Fan slowly open his eyes, Ling Fei suddenly showed a smile of surprise.

"I'm fine!"

"Don't come here yet!"

Waving his hand to stop Ling Fei's move to get closer, Zhou Fan covered his forehead and recovered for a long time.

looked at the letter in his hand with a solemn face, but found that it was only a blank piece of paper, and the sword shadow on it had disappeared.

Obviously, an attack like the one just now can only be launched once.

"Hehe, it's really interesting to use such a method."

Reaching out to wipe the blood on his face, a sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Fan's mouth.

"Ouyang Qing, right...... Very well, I remember you. ”

According to the system's prompt, Zhou Fan also knew the name of the guy who attacked him.

This "heavy gift" specially given by the other party today will definitely be repaid 100 times in the future!

"Boss, are you alright?"

Ling Fei, who was standing in the distance at this time, saw that Zhou Fan had not reacted for a long time, and he couldn't help but ask.

"It's fine."

Zhou Fan waved his hand, and his face had returned to normal.

Everything just now seems to be just an illusion.

"It can't be!"

"How could you still be alive!"

At this time, Sun Rat, who was lying on the ground, looked at Zhou Fan, who was "safe and sound", and also showed an unbelievable expression.

That lord had clearly assured himself that even if he was a powerhouse in the Open Pulse Realm, he would never be spared in the face of this sword!

"Humph! The power of the boss, how can you rats be unpredictable? ”

Ling Fei snorted coldly, his tone rather disdainful.

"And the group of villains in the inner gate, they dare to play such a trick!"

"Boss, you give the order, and your subordinates will immediately gather all the men and avenge you!"

"Revenge?"

"Where are you going to get revenge?"

"Okay, this matter has nothing to do with you, and don't spread the word about the situation here."

Ignoring Ling Fei, who was gritting his teeth, Zhou Fan's gaze fell on Sun Rat, who was full of hatred.

"Look at the way you look, you seem to hate me?"

"Have we met before?"

"Phew!" Sun Rat spat out, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot.

"Don't pretend here."

"Ever since you killed my brother Sun Xiang, I have vowed to take revenge!"

"You're lucky this time, but when the adult makes a personal move, you're ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked in the face by Ling Fei, and his mouth full of teeth fell to the ground, and he could only lie on the ground and let out a painful whimper.

"Sun Xiang?"

Zhou Fan didn't pay attention to this, thinking about it for a moment, and made sure that there was no impression of this person.

But he didn't care, after all, there were more people who died in his hands, maybe it was some nameless.

But today's incident also taught him a lot of lessons.

The methods of the inner door are far more terrifying than I imagined.

If it weren't for the effect of his indestructible golden body by virtue of his talent, if he was replaced by someone else, and suffered such a blow, I am afraid that even if he did not die, he would have to become an idiot!

This is just a portrait, if it is replaced by this honor, what kind of scene will it be?

At this time, the vigilance in Zhou Fan's heart was also at its peak.

Glancing at the current panel, he also had a plan in his heart.
