Just as Ye Qiu and Chen Xing entered the Secret Realm together, Chen Xing simultaneously put the compass he had just taken out back into his bag, while secretly fumbling around inside the bag for a signal button and pressed it.
Because Chen Xing's actions were very discreet and silent, plus his facial expression seed unchanged, even Ye Qiu did not notice Chen Xing's subtle action.
In the forest of Tai Ping Mountain, a black-clothed figure was seated under a tree with closed eyes, seemingly in a ditative state.
Beside the black-clothed figure stood a vacant-eyed, dazed youth, holding a phone in his hands.
Then, at this mont, the phone the youth was holding lit up and emitted a beeping sound, waking the black-clothed figure from the ditative state, prompting him to slowly open his eyes.
"Chen Xing and Ye Qiu look like they've entered the Secret Realm."
The black-clothed figure stood up, took the phone from the youth, placed it back in his pocket, and a greedy look appeared in his eyes, "Soon, the Divine Blood will be mine."
"I've waited so many years, finally, the opportunity has arrived!!!"
As he spoke, the black-clothed figure couldn't help but let out a crazed laugh, his face twisted nacingly.
Despite the figure's nacing face, the youth beside him remained vacant-eyed and dazed, standing still without any response.
After a while, the black-clothed figure seed to regain composure from his earlier frenzied state, slightly restraining his crazed deanor.
Then, the black-clothed figure glanced at the vacant-eyed youth beside him and snorted coldly before snapping his fingers.
Instantly, the vacant-eyed youth shuddered at the sound, his gaze montarily cleared, then returned to the daze, obediently following the black-clothed figure away.
As for their destination, it was undoubtedly the back of Tai Ping Mountain where Ye Qiu and the others had entered the Secret Realm.
...
On another side, the Eight Great Fengshui Masters had finally arrived at Tai Ping Mountain.
However, just as they intended to enter the back mountain, they saw the vast fog that shrouded and engulfed the entire back mountain.
In an instant, the Eight Great Fengshui Masters' expressions changed dramatically, simultaneously exclaiming, "Ancient Maze Array?!!"
Similar to Chen Xing, the Eight Great Fengshui Masters imdiately recognized the origin of this fog.
Moreover, the Eight Great Fengshui Masters keenly sensed an ominous power emanation from deep within the fog.
This power emanation was incredibly remarkable, causing even the Eight Great Fengshui Masters to shiver in apprehension.
This made their faces turn sowhat grim.
Even though they had been in Hong Kong for so long, it was their first knowledge that the back of Tai Ping Mountain was concealed with such formidable Ancient Maze Array, with potentially hidden treasures within.
The concealed treasures were so formidable that they emanated power causing shivers, let alone revealing the potential deadly traps within the fog.
Hence, the Eight Great Fengshui Masters hesitated outside the fog, feared to rashly step inside.
"To enter or not to enter?"
Seeing everyone pause outside the fog and hesitant to advance, one Fengshui Master took a deep breath and seriously questioned the others.
Upon hearing this, a plump Fengshui Master began retreating, uneasily stating, "I think it's best to leave it be. This Ancient Maze Array embraces the entire Tai Ping Mountain. If other Ancient Killing Arrays intertwine within, our strength might not withstand."
"You said it might not, but even if we can't break such an Ancient Array, with our skills among the Ten Great Fengshui Masters, self-protection should be of no issue, right?"
Yet, another Fengshui Master imdiately refuted with a sneer, stating, "That's Divine Blood, a treasure capable of vastly enhancing our power, even letting one access Divine Realm! Aren't you tempted???"
Upon hearing this master's words, the earlier retreating plump Fengshui Master was speechless.
Not tempted?
Naturally, they were tempted by the Divine Blood treasure, otherwise, they wouldn't have co here together.
Yet, while tempted, they balanced desire and reason, impulse, and calm adequately.
Thus, another Fengshui Master seriously opined, "You're right, but inside the Ancient Maze Array, no one knows what's in there. Also, let's not forget that Ye Qiu and Chen Xing have already entered."
"We're risking our lives entering inside, only to compete with Ye Qiu and the others. The chance indeed seems slim."
After speaking, the Fengshui Master shook his head, implying he was also considering giving up.
"A bunch of cowards."
Seeing several people considering retreat, the previously refuting Fengshui Master let out a sneer, disdainfully saying, "Fortune favors the brave. Who knows where the treasure would land without a fight? What if we find the Divine Blood before Ye Qiu and the others do? Can you claim this possibility doesn't exist?"
"But, what if we fail? No one knows what's inside; with one wrong move, we could face only death. If we die, there's nothing left; such a price, we cannot afford."
However, the Fengshui Masters remained rational and snorted coldly, unwilling to risk it.
Thus ensued a split among the Eight Great Fengshui Masters, with opinions diverging into two factions, so wishing to enter, others recoiling.
Of course, if it were rely this, they would have parted ways directly, but considering potentially encountering Ye Qiu, to secure the Divine Blood, the Eight Great Fengshui Masters must collaborate, missing none.
Therefore, everyone remained in a stalemate outside the fog.
...
At this juncture, an inappropriate voice suddenly erged, impatiently shouting, "Hey, can you people move aside? Crowding here blocks the way, don't you know it's rather obnoxious?"
This inappropriate remark caused the Eight Great Fengshui Masters to frown instantly, turning their heads coldly with slight irritation.
As one of Hong Kong's Ten Great Fengshui Masters, everyone they encountered treated them with utmost respect, yet now, soone dared to say they were obnoxious?
