Chapter 157 Ch-157: Entering the Secret Realm

Wang Ming observed the unfolding drama from the sidelines with a neutral expression. He couldn't help but smirk as Hei Li flaunted his meager strength arrogantly. Wang Ming considered killing him without any mercy if he dared to block his path, but to his surprise, two new women suddenly appeared. Their beauty aside, Wang Ming sensed their cultivation levels—they didn't even bother hiding it. The older woman appeared to be in the Golden Core Realm, while the younger one seemed to be in the Core Formation Realm.

Wang Ming's eyes widened with surprise as he took in the sight of their robes. The garments bore a striking resemblance to the attire worn by sect members. The brown robes clung to the women's bodies, accentuating their curves. Noteworthy details caught Wang Ming's attention—the younger woman's robes featured three white swords on the left side of her chest, while the older one displayed a single purple sword symbol, these sword symbols seemed to represent certain status which Wang Ming came a conclusion to in his head

"Huh, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect," Wang Ming's face registered astonishment. He had heard of the Heavenly Sword Sect, an equivalent power to the Yang-Ying Sect in the Black Bamboo Kingdom. Wang Ming was even more surprised when the crowd mentioned that one of them was the sect leader. It marked the first time Wang Ming encountered someone from another sect, sparking his curiosity as he activated his Soul Eyes technique.

As the personal disciple of the current Sect Master, Hui Mei is the chosen candidate for the role. Despite her efforts, she struggles to fully grasp the technique, fearing disappointment for her master. The discovery of the secret realm has sparked a glimmer of hope in her, believing it might hold something to aid her in mastering the sword technique.

[ Name: Hui Mei ]

[ Occupation: Sect Master of Heavenly Sword ]

[ Emotion:?Happy, Excited

Reason:?Worried sick about her disciple Tang Ning's struggle with learning the technique, despite Tang Ning's dedicated efforts, she had remained stagnant for a few years. The Sect Master decided to leave the sect for a month to assist her disciple, hoping to find some kind of opportunity. To her surprise, the secret realm turned out to be the very opportunity she had been seeking but didn't anticipate finding. She is escatic and will kill anyone who prevents them from achieving their goals.?]

"Master and disciple, huh," Wang Ming mused, rubbing his chin as he observed the pair floating in the sky, their gaze swept through the crowd.

Hui Mei and Tang Ning gracefully descended to the ground, sparking excitement among the onlookers. The crowd anticipated their intervention against Hei Li, and a bold individual among them approached, seeking their assistance.

"Greetings, Sect Master Hui Mei," said the man with a respectful look on his face. Tang Ning, on the other hand, wore an expressionless face. Hui Mei acknowledged the greeting with a nod and didn't say much, a typical demeanor for esteemed figures. The man, familiar with such behavior, wasn't offended.

"My name is—" the man began to introduce himself but was abruptly cut off by Tang Ning.

"We don't care about your name. Why have you approached my master? State your reason," Tang Ning's cold tone made the man nervous. Despite his displeasure, he dared not show it on his face.

"Yes, yes, your excellency," the man hastily replied.

"What do you want to say?" Hui Mei inquired, prompting Tang Ning to remain silent.

"We implore you to seek justice on our behalf, Senior," the man said in an agitated voice.

"Explain properly," Hui Mei responded with a slight frown.

"Yes, you see, before you guys arrived, Hei Li, the leader of the Dark Bandit Group, started recklessly killing many cultivators present here. He even threatened us not to enter the secret realm as he wants to monopolize it. He couldn't do much because he just entered the Golden Core Realm," the man informed, gritting his teeth.

"Dark Bandit Group? Hei Li?" Tang Ning wore a look of confusion, having never heard of this group or Hei Li. She was surprised that he was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, a rarity even though he was at the first stage.

Hui Mei's gaze swept through the group of bandits a bit further away. They shivered in fear under her scrutiny. Hei Li, their leader, sensed Hui Mei's stronger cultivation and dared not utter a single word, clenching his fists in silence. Hui Mei was aware of their bad reputation but paid them no mind; she could crush them effortlessly, and the group had never interfered with any sects.

"Master, who are they?" Tang Ning asked curiously.

"No one, just a couple of insects we could crush anytime we want," Hui Mei replied with indifference in her voice. Hei Li, angered by the term "ants," could only grit his teeth.

"I will help you," Hui Mei declared, bringing excitement to the group's face while the bandits paled in fright. They tried to speak but couldn't even move under the pressure exerted by Hui Mei. Their bodies were covered in sweat.

"Hahaha, thank you, Sect Master. Now we can avenge our fallen friends," the man exclaimed with excitement, but Hui Mei's next words poured cold water on him.

"I think you misunderstood my words. I never said I will help you in any kind of revenge," Hui Mei stated with a cold expression.

"Then?" the man asked in confusion.

"I meant that if those insignificant people make any move in my presence, I will take action. But you can forget about seeking my help for revenge," Hui Mei clarified with a neutral tone.

"But—" the man tried to say something, but Tang Ning cut him off.

"Didn't you hear what my master said? Leave. They can only blame themselves for being weak," Tang Ning replied in a cold voice. The man could only grit his teeth in unwillingness, bowed, and left them alone. On the other hand the bandits and Hei Li sighed a breath of relief as Hui Meu wont take action unless provoked

"Boss, what should we do now?" one of Hei Li's lackeys whispered.

"Boss, should we ambush them later inside the secret realm?" another lackey suggested.

"No, idiots. Do you think I will provoke them? They can kill us with just a finger," Hei Li responded, looking at the person who asked like he was an idiot.

"Then what's the next plan, boss?" asked one of the men in the group.

"Presently, we can't do anything. If I can find something inside the realm that can drastically increase my cultivation, then we can act recklessly. But not before that. In the meantime, we can only remain silent and target people weaker than us in the realm, as everyone will be scattered once they enter," Hei Li explained to the bunch of idiots. The lackeys listened in silence, not uttering another word as they sensed his bad mood, silently waiting for the entrance to open.

Zing!

After a few hours of tense waiting, the barrier started to tremble. Excitement and anticipation filled everyone's eyes. With a final tremor, the barrier shattered, signifying the opening of the entrance. However, not a single individual dared to step forward. Even Hei Li's gaze shifted toward Tang Ning and Hue Mei.

"Alright, Ning'er, let's go. Maybe we can find some kind of opportunity that can help you," Hue Mei said with a smile that could entrance any onlooker. Tang Ning nodded in excitement and followed her master with hurried steps. They both halted at the entrance and vanished from sight.

"Alright, everyone, it's our turn now!" Hei Li shouted as he moved forward with his group of bandits. Before entering, he shot a vicious look at the crowd.

"You bastards really have a death wish to involve the Sect Master. If I find any of you inside, I will kill you without hesitation. I hope you enter the entrance," Hei Li threatened with a malicious smile, disappearing with his group.

His threat deterred a few weak-willed individuals from entering, but most of them still went inside, blinded by greed. Soon, one after another, they approached the entrance and vanished from sight.

"Senior Xun, let's hurry," said a member of the Xun family to the old man. The old man nodded in agreement, and they also disappeared.

"Heh, I might as well enter as well," Wang Ming said, joining the others inside. After everyone had entered, another group, looking like wealthy individuals, appeared in front of the entrance.

"I did not expect to encounter a secret realm here of all places," remarked an extremely beautiful woman.

"Princess, we should enter quickly before the entrance disappears," said a man. The princess nodded in agreement and entered as well.
