"Fellow Daoist Li, please sit down, I'll wait for you." Chen Yang said with a smile at Han Li, with a faint look of excitement in his expression.

Han Li looked at Chen Yang's expression in his eyes, glanced at Taoist Cai without leaving any trace, and found a seat next to Gu Qianxun and the others to sit down.

"I'm asking you here today, because I have a major opportunity to discuss with the three of you." Chen Yang said straight to the point.

"Opportunity?" Han Li and the other two were stunned.

"This may be a bit sudden for the three of you. Let's put it this way, now there is a secret realm deep in the Jilin Kong Realm. There are countless treasures in the secret realm. It is a rare opportunity in a million years. The Lord of Erqi decided to stop the five cities to learn martial arts, lead the people who entered the top 16 to explore this place together." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Han Li frowned slightly when he heard this.

This is indeed a sudden, very suddenly, a secret realm suddenly appeared?

"City Lord, do you think this is serious?" But Gu Qianxun and Xuanyuan Xing, who were beside him, asked with excitement.

"Naturally, it's true." Chen Yang smiled.

"City Lord, can you explain something?" Han Li pondered for a moment and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Li has not been here for a long time and has not known much about this place. The Jilin Kong realm is extremely mysterious. Although our Xuancheng has been rooted here for countless years, we have not been able to explore it clearly. What we know is still very limited. The void in the Jilin Kong realm changes in the depths of the Jilin Kong realm, and many secrets are hidden, as well as countless genius treasures. The top treasures circulating in our Xuancheng, such as the prizes of this martial arts, Tianlin Meteorite Crystal, Sulfur Flame Blood Cloud and other things, are actually obtained from there. The secret realm that appears this time is the largest in nearly a million years, and the opportunity is really rare." Chen Yang explained.

When Han Li heard this, his heart was pounding, but his face remained calm.

Gu Qianxun and Xuanyuan Xing heard this, their faces became even more excited.

"Oh, in this way, it is indeed a treasure land, but since there are so many genius treasures, it must be very dangerous inside, right?" Han Li asked after pondering for a moment.

"Of course, this secret realm is full of all kinds of unknown dangers, and interests and risks coexist. Therefore, the three of you must consider it clearly. If you are unwilling to go, you don't have to force it." Chen Yang nodded and said again.

After hearing this, the three of them looked thoughtful and silent.

Chen Yang didn't mean to urge him, so he sat there quietly waiting.

Han Li's thoughts turned and he glanced at the Taoist Crab from the corner of his eyes.

The crab Taoist stood with his eyes down, with no expression in his expression, but a finger hanging beside him slightly tapped.

Han Li's heart moved slightly and suddenly asked:

"City Lord, I have something to ask. The people from the Puppet City suddenly appeared outside the city a few days ago, and seemed to be launching a large-scale attack, but now they suddenly retreat. Their behavior is so strange. Could it be that they are also related to the secret realm here?"

"Fellow Daoist Li has a good guess. The people from the Puppet City suddenly appeared this time, and they did come for the secret realm. They would also send people to come with them." Chen Yang glanced at Han Li and said.

Gu Qianxun and Xuanyuan Xing's bodies were shocked, and then they showed a complex look and remained silent.

Puzzle City is the mortal enemy of Xuancheng. When both sides encounter it in the secret territory, they will definitely not die. With them there, the danger has increased several times.

"Since the city lord is so proud of that secret realm, please go and see it together." Han Li just thought for a moment and nodded and said.

"Okay, what do you think of fellow Taoist Gu and fellow Taoist Xuanyuan?" Chen Yang was secretly happy when he saw Han Li agreeing to go, and turned to look at Gu Qianxun and Xuanyuan Xing.

"I am naturally unwilling to miss this opportunity." Xuanyuan Xing took a deep breath, his face hesitant look retreated, and he nodded and said.

"Since Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Xuanyuan both intend to go, even though Gu is a female, he is unwilling to retreat." Gu Qianxun saw that Han Li and both agreed, hesitated in his heart and seemed to disappear suddenly, Zhan Yan smiled.

"Okay, all three of you agree to go there. Then, during this exploration trip, my Qingyang City will not be weaker than the other four cities. Let's go back and rest first. The date of departure has not been determined yet. I will inform you in person." Chen Yang said with a smile.

Han Li and the other two agreed and stood up to say goodbye.

"By the way, this matter is still a secret at the moment. You can just know it, don't tell anyone else." Chen Yang changed his tone and reminded him.

The three of them were stunned, and then agreed, then said goodbye and left.

After the three of them left, Chen Yang also got up and left his residence, heading towards the city lord's mansion.

Half a month later, early morning.

There were loud voices in the spacious Baishi Square in the city lord's mansion, and sixteen or seventeen people were standing.

They each gathered together and vaguely divided into five teams.

The team on the left has the largest number of people, with a total of five people. The leader is a pair of men and women wearing white exquisite bone armor, but they are the brothers and sisters of Zhu Ziyuan and Zhu Ziqing in Xuancheng.

"This time out is different from the past. You are not one of the sixteen people at all. I just listen to my advice and stay in Xuancheng well and wait for me to come back." Zhu Ziyuan frowned and said to his sister beside him.

"I don't care. Anyway, I want to be with my brother. Don't try to leave me alone. Besides, he has agreed to the city lord, so it's useless for you to object." Zhu Ziqing said with a smile.

Zhu Ziyuan has never disobeyed the city lord Erqi. After hearing what his sister said, he had to sigh and stop talking.

The three people on his left are Bai Yancheng team led by the pig-faced boy Fang Chan.

After experiencing the previous failure, it seemed that there was no effect on him at all. At this moment, he was still carrying a thick animal bone with oil stains on his hands, gnawing on the golden roasted muscles on the bones, and smiling happily from the heart.

There was no such high interest in the Zhixuan City team adjacent to it. Feng Wuchen, who was in charge, looked gloomy as water. He stood there and did not say a word to the two of them. He just raised his eyes from time to time and looked at the Qingyang City people on the right.

After half a month of cultivation, his injuries have recovered a lot. He didn't know how to repair his broken right arm. It seemed that a brand new arm had been attached, which looked like Duan Tong, wrapped in white bandages.

Next to them were Han Li, Qingyang City, and to the right were the three people from Tongyu City.

"Fellow Daoist, the City Lord's Mansion gathered the sixteen people from the five cities together today. It seems that they are about to set off today, but they don't know where they are going?" Han Li asked in a low voice.

"This time, the interruption of the Wucheng martial arts meeting in the five cities was a rather bizarre thing. The temporary alliance between Xuancheng and Puppet City has become a strange among strange things. Both sides seem to keep this matter quite secret, and I have no news here." Gu Qianxun frowned slightly and said.

Xuancheng and Puppet City have been hating each other for countless thousands of years. They have been able to reach an alliance and work together to do something, which is hard for everyone to imagine. After all, in the past years, there have been frequent wars between each other, and casualties are all accumulated bit by bit.

"A place that can make both parties let go of their prejudices and join forces is probably not a good place..." Xuanyuan Xing said worriedly.

"Didn't the Lord of Chenyang say that this trip has strict requirements on strength, so only those who enter the top 16 martial arts are allowed to join. If anyone among the sixteen people is worried, he can also withdraw on his own and not force it?" Gu Qianxun said with a smile.

"After that being said, the city lord also said that although the risk of this trip is high, the benefits must be extremely great. Who is willing to give up for nothing? If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be so worried and entangled." Xuanyuan Xing smiled bitterly and said.

Han Li was not very concerned about these things. What he cared more about was how to obtain the cracking method of the Black Tribulation Worm and the whereabouts of Shi Chuankong and Zi Ling.

These five cities will be arbitrary, and the previous agreement with Mrs. Liuhua will not be fulfilled for the time being. Once you leave Xuancheng, it will naturally be difficult to find out about Shi Chuankong.

While thinking about it, footsteps came from one side of the square. Han Li looked around and saw a group of more than a dozen people walking towards this side.

Among them, the leader is naturally the lord of Xuancheng City.

Behind him, Chen Yang and the other four city lords and Mrs. Liuhua lined up, and five or six people were following them.

Han Li glanced at those people, and the first thing he saw was the Taoist Crab following behind Chen Yang, and the man with a nose like an eagle hook standing behind Mrs. Liuhua.

However, when his eyes swept across the remaining four people, his expression changed slightly.

I saw a long-skinned man wearing a black uniform walking side by side. From the middle of the bridge of his nose, he was covered with a white bone-shaped facial armor, and only a pair of faint purple eyes were exposed outside.

The most unique thing is that it has a slightly curly white short hair on its head and the length of its ears, which is scattered behind its head.

That person was Shi Chuankong!

Han Li was very surprised. Just as he was about to communicate with his mind, he saw Chen Yang shook his head gently at him and signaled him not to act rashly.

Han Li frowned and moved his heart slightly. When he looked at Shi Chuankong carefully, he found that the latter was indifferent. His eyes were not at all deviated along the way, and something obviously seemed wrong.

What's going on? Han Li frowned, but he was a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qianxun noticed the abnormality of Han Li beside him and asked.

"It's nothing. I suddenly remembered an old friend and was a little distracted." Han Li smiled and his expression returned to normal, and he said.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qianxun looked at Shi Chuankong with suspicion, but he didn't see anything.

Han Li withdrew his gaze and looked at Erqi and others.

Erqi took everyone to the platform in front of the square, glanced at everyone, and said straight to the point:

"I believe your city lord has revealed some news before. The accidental interruption of the Five Cities Martial Arts was not because of the invasion of the Puppet City people, but because the 'Daxu' appeared, Xuanwei and the two cities needed to work together to explore the secrets. As the top 16 candidates for the Five Cities Martial Arts, you will be the main force of this expedition and enter the 'Daxu' with us."

When everyone present heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and some complex expressions of surprise and worry appeared on their faces.
