Chapter 265 This is a calamity, and also a gamble.

Arayama

System 006: "Ding, one new Soul-Stealing Mark has been identified."

"Ding, identity verification in progress."

"Ding, identity verification completed. Soul-capturing marker: Xuan Tian Sect Master, Zhu Shengming, cultivation level: Tribulation Transcending Stage."

Xiao Xuan: "..."

Xiao Xuan: "The Tribulation Transcending Stage?"

System 006: "Yes, host."

Xiao Xuan: "System mark."

System 006: "Okay, host."

"Ding, system marking is complete."

"The system currently tracks a total of 16 people for air transport."

Xiao Xuan: "Isn't it 13 people?"

System 006: "Host, there are also Xiao Feng, Xiao Yun, and Si Qing. They have already left system luck marks on them."

"Do you wish to remove the luck markers from Xiao Feng, Xiao Yun, and Si Qing? Please select."

Xiao Xuan: "No need."

"Keep it."

System 006: "Okay, host."

Xiao Xuan stood up and turned to look at Yan Jiayu. "Ayu, after the secret realm opens, we'll split up."

"You go to the Tomb of Gods and Demons to find the ancient demonic spear, and I will go to Mount Zhaoyao to find the Jade Pool."

Yan Jiayu stared at Xiao Xuan for a moment, then reluctantly nodded.

Although he would rather stay by Xiao Xuan's side than search for some broken ancient demonic spear.

However, since Xiao Xuan had asked him for a favor, he naturally had to give the Empress face.

Having convinced himself, Yan Jiayu suddenly spoke up: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will definitely snatch that ancient demonic spear for you."

When Yan Jiayu said this, he showed no reluctance whatsoever; on the contrary, he was full of pride, his eyes brimming with an air of arrogance that seemed to say, "Come and thank me!"

Xiao Xuan: "..."

Xiao Xuan suppressed the upward curve of his lips, nodded, and said seriously, "With A Yu taking action, there's naturally no problem."

Yan Jiayu stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the entrance to the secret realm, his handsome brows furrowed slightly, and said with dissatisfaction, "There are still half a month left."

Xiao Xuan turned to look at Zhang Wunian, and under Zhang Wunian's excited gaze, he said in a low voice, "Sect Master Zhang, you won't be asleep for three months."

The clear, melodious voice reached Zhang Wunian's ears.

It was accompanied by the ethereal celestial energy entering the body.

Despite his initial drowsiness, the energetic Zhang Wunian eventually succumbed to sleepiness and closed his eyes.

Yang Lei and Liu Yunfei reached out from the left and right to catch Zhang Wunian.

At the same time, they all looked up at Xiao Xuan, their expressions puzzled.

Yang Lei pursed his lips and remained silent.

Liu Yunfei looked worried and asked, "Xuanzi, what about the sect leader?"

Xiao Xuan raised his hand and set up a barrier to block the curious onlookers before explaining, "This matter is a long story."

"Elder Yang, please take Sect Master Zhang back to the Divine Mechanism Pavilion first."

Yang Lei was silent for a moment, then nodded and said respectfully, "Okay."

Liu Yunfei looked at Xiao Xuan, hesitating to speak.

Xiao Xuan: "I know you have doubts in your hearts, but the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Firstly, the leak of information might alert the enemy.

Secondly, there was nothing anyone could do after learning the news.

This is both a calamity and a gamble.

When the Way of Heaven prevails, the Heavenly Path opens up, breaking free from constraints and operating independently.

When the Way of Heaven fails, monsters run rampant, living beings suffer, and the world is annihilated.

At the same time, his soul, Yan Jiayu's soul, and the souls of all the living beings that have already developed consciousness here will also be annihilated.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuan's heart sank, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Liu Yunfei and Yang Lei exchanged a glance, asked no more questions, and respectfully bowed to Xiao Xuan, saying, "Yes."
