A storm dissipated silently.

The clash of family powers behind the scenes was only noticed by those who paid attention.

Xu Xiangqian himself probably didn’t feel anything.

He was quite happy to meet Jiang Wang before entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm.

The two could be considered to have gone through a brief period of shared hardship. Although, judging from the background Xu Xiangqian was now displaying, perhaps only Jiang Wang was truly in danger at the time…

“Brother Xu,” Jiang Wang said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “Why don’t you call me ‘uncle’ anymore?”

Xu Xiangqian waved his hand: “I was blind back then, blind.”

Having said that, he enthusiastically pulled over the heroic young man with a jade band around his forehead, and first introduced Jiang Wang: “This is a friend I met in You Country. He looks old, but he’s actually prematurely gray, very young! Has a very good character!”

Then he introduced the heroic young man: “This is Li Longchuan. He’s pretty good at archery!”

Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan looked at each other and smiled helplessly together.

After greeting each other and chatting for only a few words, Jiang Wang felt Chong Xuansheng poking him.

Chong Xuansheng naturally knew Li Longchuan, but he didn’t actively speak to him. Instead, he secretly poked Jiang Wang with his fat fingers, his voice discreetly entering Jiang Wang’s ear: “Pay attention, he’s our competitor!”

Li Longchuan probably noticed Chong Xuansheng’s little action and said with a smile: “Brother Chongxuan, how have you been?”

“Thanks to you,” Chong Xuansheng snorted from his nostrils, “I’m doing pretty well.”

Li Longchuan smiled and said nothing.

Chong Xuansheng glanced at him again: “Does the dignified Li Longchuan need to hire outside help?”

“Of course, I don’t need it.” Li Longchuan said with a faint smile, revealing extremely strong confidence: “Brother Xu is not my outside help. This time entering the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, he doesn’t need to help me seize opportunities. Whoever gets it, gets it. In a way, he is also my competitor. And he won’t show any mercy.”

“That’s right!” Xu Xiangqian said with a righteous face: “A gentleman’s competition must be done with all our strength!”

Chong Xuansheng felt like he had offered his face to be slapped. Annoyed, he pulled Jiang Wang and said, “Then let’s meet in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. We’re going to discuss tactics over there.”

After saying that, he forcefully dragged Jiang Wang towards the corner. Fourteen naturally followed him closely.

Jiang Wang had no choice but to smile apologetically at Li Longchuan and Xu Xiangqian, and then followed.

In fact, there were no tactics to discuss. Everything that needed to be discussed had already been discussed. As for other situations, everyone was in the dark about the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm, and there was nothing to discuss.

Chong Xuansheng simply wanted to distance himself from Li Longchuan.

Jiang Wang knew this, and Li Longchuan knew this as well.

Perhaps only Xu Xiangqian was the exception…

He waved his hand very enthusiastically: “Brother Jiang! See you in the Secret Realm! A gentleman’s competition!”

After speaking, he clenched his fist powerfully.

Over here, Chong Xuansheng pulled Jiang Wang to the corner and instructed: “Although this kid Li Longchuan looks unremarkable, he is very strong. We must not let our guard down. Don’t stay with him for too long. If you do, his arrows will automatically find your weaknesses.”

Jiang Wang was a little surprised: “Is he that scary?”

He ignored Chong Xuansheng’s inexplicable confidence in his own looks. Or rather, he had unknowingly gotten used to it…

“What else do you think?” Chong Xuansheng rolled his small eyes with great effort, and suddenly said a little embarrassedly: “Logically speaking, we are friends, and I shouldn’t let you find opportunities for me. But the pre-determined Divine Power Inner Mansion is very important to me. Once I get the opportunity, I will help you get one immediately!”

“What’s wrong with that?” Jiang Wang said with a smile: “Even close brothers settle accounts clearly. You didn’t trick me. I agreed myself. Besides, even if I wanted to help others find opportunities, would others be willing to give me a spot?”

Chong Xuansheng was obviously a little touched and patted Jiang Wang on the shoulder: “That you can think this way… is just great.”

In fact, sometimes it is not easy for people to distinguish between good and bad, and the problem of propriety is the most difficult to grasp.

The so-called ‘a bushel of rice brings gratitude, a peck of rice brings resentment’ is because neither side has grasped the sense of propriety.

Keeping everything in your heart and calculating will only create estrangement, and the gap will become larger and larger.

Like Chong Xuansheng, making things clear on the surface makes it less likely to damage friendship.

In each other’s trepidation, expectation, and communication, time slowly passed.

Suddenly, someone saw that a full moon reflection had appeared in the center of Full Moon Lake at some point.

But the moon in the sky had clearly not yet risen.

At this moment, night fell.

The entire surrounding architecture of Full Moon Lake is a circular long corridor that surrounds Full Moon Lake.

The eaves of the corridor never cross the boundary, and the entire Full Moon Lake is exposed to the night sky.

According to past experience, at a specific time, when the moon in the sky and the moon in the water overlap, the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm will open.

Jiang Wang looked at the sky. There was still a distance to go before the moon reached its zenith.

Just at this moment.

Da! Da! Da!

Constant, clear footsteps struck the ears of everyone present.

Chong Xuansheng’s face changed, and he said to Jiang Wang: “The biggest opponent is here.”

Walking out of the long corridor and to the edge of Full Moon Lake was a martial-clothed man with an extremely long face.

His face was extremely long, but it didn’t give people an ugly feeling. On the contrary, because of his sharp eyes and high, straight nose, he had his own unique charm.

Even though the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm was about to open, the crowd couldn’t help but whisper.

“Why is he here?”

“Wang Yi Wu… Why would he come here?”

“Where does he need to?”

This was a commotion that even Li Longchuan’s arrival hadn’t caused.

It showed the pressure the man brought.

“Who is he?” To avoid causing trouble, Jiang Wang asked through voice transmission.

Chong Xuansheng’s voice, containing anger, came into his ear: “The closed-door disciple of the Great Qi’s God of the Army, Jiang Mengxiong, the youngest and with the lowest cultivation, but Jiang Mengxiong expects him to be the next generation God of the Army of Qi! He doesn’t need to come to the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm at all. Although he is still in the Heaven Reaching Realm, he sensed his Divine Power Seed as soon as he opened his Meridians.

His trunk sea has also been cleansed long ago, and the Heaven and Earth Gate is as fragile as paper to him.

As long as he opens the Heaven and Earth Gate, he can immediately knock on the Inner Mansion and obtain the Divine Power. He doesn’t need to hone himself in the Soaring Dragon Realm at all.

He is still in front of the Heaven and Earth Gate purely because he is too strong. The Heaven and Earth Gate is not enough to consume too much of his power. At the moment of the Dragon Soaring of the Dao Meridian, he cannot contain his power, and he is likely to damage his trunk sea and injure the foundation of his Great Dao. Jiang Mengxiong has been trying to find ways to increase the strength of his Heaven and Earth Gate.”

The Heaven and Earth Gate is a formidable gate on the path of cultivation, blocking countless cultivators.

Some people never open the Heaven and Earth Gate in their entire lives. Some people, after opening the Heaven and Earth Gate, are exhausted and unable to preside over the Soaring Dragon of the Dao Meridian, resulting in congenital deficiencies in the Soaring Dragon Realm.

And a genius like Wang Yi Wu has to delay his steps because the Heaven and Earth Gate is too fragile!

From Chong Xuansheng’s words, Jiang Wang also captured a key point.

Wang Yi Wu didn’t need to come to the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm at all, but he still came.

“So…” Jiang Wang asked, “He’s here for you?”

With Chong Xuansheng’s strength, if he went all out, he could easily break into the top 100 of the Heaven Reaching Realm in the Illusionary Realm of Grand Emptiness.

He finally understood why a powerhouse like Chong Xuansheng, exploring a secret realm where all opponents were limited to the Soaring Dragon Realm, still needed to find a helper.

Chong Xuansheng’s expression was extremely ugly: “I didn’t think he would go that far.”

Da! Da! Da!

The sound of boots hitting the ground seemed to strike the hearts of every competitor.

Wang Yi Wu walked through the crowd and went straight to Chong Xuansheng in the corner.

“It’s not too late to go back now,” he said.

At this time, Chong Xuansheng’s expression was terrifyingly calm.

He narrowed his small eyes: “You and Chong Xuanzun are really close friends.”

He didn’t threaten, because threats were useless.

He didn’t provoke, because provocation was just asking for humiliation.

But he wouldn’t go back.

He would only retaliate.

People who don’t know Chong Xuansheng well would think this person is very complicated. Sometimes childish, sometimes profound.

And his ruthlessness and tenacity are rarely known.

Regarding Chong Xuansheng’s reaction.

Wang Yi Wu neither angered nor smiled.

He stopped talking. He just turned sideways and stood next to Chong Xuansheng, Jiang Wang, and Fourteen.

He didn’t say another word.

But there was no need to say anything anymore.

I wish everyone a Happy New Year! May everyone be able to find their direction, and let us continue to work hard next year!
