Chapter 360: Secret Valley, External Crisis

"Since we have found the real secret passage, let's go in." Xiao Ming said, and then his figure flashed, turning into a flash of lightning and shooting towards the entrance, and disappeared in an instant. Nangong Wu followed without hesitation, and Tang Xiaosan first put away his pet, the Void Spirit Butterfly, and hurried to follow. The interior of the secret passage was still extremely dark, and it was almost pitch black. At the same time, because the material used to build the secret passage was quite special, it was completely isolated from the detection of spiritual consciousness. But Xiao Ming was not afraid. First, he was extremely powerful, and he could remain calm even if he encountered danger. Second, Tang Xiaosan's Void Spirit Butterfly had already found out the correctness of this secret passage, so there was no need to consider anything else, and he just kept going. For Xiao Ming and other strong men, the distance of ten miles was almost reached in the blink of an eye. It didn't take long for Xiao Ming and others to reach the end of the secret passage. They saw a bright light at the end of the secret passage, and through the light, they could see a huge and bizarre valley at the end. There was a strong spiritual energy inside, with birds singing and flowers blooming, just like a paradise isolated from the world.

However.

At the end of the secret passage and the connection between this valley, there was a thick transparent barrier that blocked the exit of the secret passage. The existence of the barrier blocked the inflow of the dark lake water, preventing the lake water from entering the valley. The two were clearly separated.

But it also blocked the way for Xiao Ming and others.

At this time, Tang Xiaosan's few virtual butterflies that were exploring the way were located next to the barrier and could not explore further.

Tang Xiaosan stepped forward and took back his pet while saying, "There is a barrier at the exit of the secret passage. What should we do now?"

As he said that, Tang Xiaosan subconsciously looked at Xiao Ming.

Nangong Wu did the same.

"Since the barrier is blocking the way, just blow it up with one punch!" Xiao Ming's face remained unchanged, and he flashed to the front of the barrier, then clenched his palm into a fist and hit it directly!

"Bang" sound!

To Xiao Ming's surprise, his punch did not break the barrier, but penetrated the barrier's protection and entered the valley.

"It's a bit strange, this barrier doesn't seem to block the entry of living beings, but only blocks the dark lake water..." Xiao Ming wondered, and then he jumped forward, and then he passed through the barrier and entered the valley.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaosan and Nangong Wu also followed suit and passed through the barrier as if passing through a door curtain.

Looking back, I saw that the dark lake water was still blocked by the barrier, while the air in the valley was moist and the spiritual energy was compelling, which seemed to be not much different from the outside world.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a world deep in the secret realm of my Nangong family," Nangong Wu looked around and said in surprise, "If there is unrest in the outside world, this is definitely a good place to hide."

"Yes, the spiritual energy here is too rich. Practicing here for a day is almost equivalent to practicing outside for a month," Tang Xiaosan exclaimed, "I guess even those high-ranking holy places have the same concentration of spiritual energy."

"Let's talk about it later. Now let's find the ancestors of the Nangong family and the human-shaped emperor pill." Xiao Ming said while tentatively releasing his spiritual sense.

Sure enough, after leaving the dark lake, his spiritual sense could be used unscrupulously again.

"Huh? There is a simple bronze palace more than ten miles away from us. The energy there is a little wrong. I guess there is something wrong!" Xiao Ming suddenly sensed something and said in surprise.

"I also sensed the bronze palace!" Nangong Wu also echoed.

"Me too, the energy fluctuation there is a little abnormal." Tang Xiaosan also nodded.

After that, the three of them performed the escape technique in tacit understanding and shot towards the bronze palace.

...

Just as Xiao Ming and the other two were exploring the core of the secret realm, the outside world was also turbulent, and the Nangong family faced an unprecedented crisis.

Countless martial arts masters wearing uniform clothes were flying in the air, riding spirit pets, or sitting on flying giant ships. Under the leadership of a great master who had passed the tribulation, they came to Danwang Castle in a mighty force.

After arriving at Danwang Castle, these masters scattered and stood in the air, surrounding Danwang Castle from four angles of southeast, northwest, and northeast.

Although Danwang Castle covers a large area and is home to many masters, under the oppression of so many unknown masters, there is still a sense of urgency that the dark clouds are pressing down on the city and are about to be destroyed.

It seems that the huge city can be overturned at any time, and none of the countless cultivators in the city can escape.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

After discovering the situation, the Nangong family members immediately rang the family warning bell. The sound of the bell was melodious and spread throughout the Danwang Fort in the shortest time.

Everyone in the city was shocked.

"This bell... is the warning sound of the Nangong family!" A casual cultivator in the city heard the urgent bell and his face suddenly changed.

"Yes! Not only is it a warning sound, but it is also three consecutive bells," another person replied, "As far as I know, the three bells of the Nangong family have never sounded at the same time, because this means that there is a danger of extinction!"

"The Nangong family is in danger!"

"I don't know which big force they offended, and they are facing such a crisis. But then again, the strength of the Nangong family should not be underestimated. Which big force dares to mobilize so many troops and looks like they want to destroy the Nangong family?"

"Who knows! I just hope that when the big forces fight each other, they don't harm small casual cultivators like us..."

After the melodious bell sounded throughout the world, a middle-aged strong man who had passed the great perfection of the tribulation flew out from the air. After this strong man glanced at the Danwang Fort below with contempt, he said loudly, "I am Zuo Xiu, the second elder of the Elders' Group of the Shenshui Sect! Please ask Danwang Nangong Chen to come out and meet me immediately!" The voice rolled like a storm, and it spread throughout the entire Danwang Fort in a very short time and entered everyone's ears. After hearing the three words "Shenshui Sect", everyone in Danwang Fort, including the Nangong family, was stunned. Countless casual cultivators in the city started to discuss fiercely:

"Shenshui Sect? Isn't this one of the twelve extremely famous sects on the continent?"

"Yes, it's them. Why are they here?"

"It turns out that they are the masters of Shenshui Sect... I was wondering which force dared to be so arrogant and wantonly hunt the Danwang Fort of the Nangong family. It turns out that the masters of Shenshui Sect are here."

"Tsk tsk, although the Nangong family is powerful and Danwang Nangong Chen is famous, they are still far behind the Shenshui Sect."

"Who said it's not!"

While countless casual cultivators were discussing, Nangong Chen led a group of clansmen to leave the back mountain where the secret realm was located and came to the crowded city.

Looking at the densely packed masters of Shenshui Sect above his head, and the leading elder Zuo Xiu who had reached the great perfection of the tribulation, Nangong Chen's face was so ugly that water could drip.

He asked himself that he had never offended the Shenshui Sect, so why did the Shenshui Sect come to kill him today?
