Lian Que carefully stowed away his natal token. Without any other words, he simply asked, “What weapon do you use?”

Jiang Wang was unsure how he had lost his sword in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm. His hands were empty, and besides, the Lian family of Chiyang County sounded like they were skilled at forging weapons.

So, without hesitation, he said directly, “A sword.”

Lian Que nodded. “I’ll go back and prepare the materials first. Whenever you have time, come to Nan Yao City, and I’ll forge a sword for you.”

Having said that, he turned and left, decisive to the extreme.

In fact, he could have left as soon as he exited the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, but he realized his natal token was missing, so he waited by the Full Moon Lake.

As soon as Lian Que left, Wang Yiwu stepped out of the moon gate.

In fact, most of the people who hadn’t left were waiting for his news.

Including Lian Que and Shisi, only eight of the fifty people who participated in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm this time survived.

Some were happy, some were sad.

The moon gate fell back into the water and disappeared.

At this moment, the night sky was sparsely lit by the moon and stars, but the surface of the Full Moon Lake no longer reflected the moon.

Wang Yiwu stepped out of the moon gate and walked directly to Chong Xuansheng. “You are lucky.”

“So are you.” Chong Xuansheng smiled. “Otherwise, how would you have snatched a supernatural power opportunity like me?”

Listening to his tone, Jiang Wang suddenly thought of a phrase: a dagger hidden in a smile.

Chong Xuansheng might not be able to defeat Wang Yiwu in a fight, but in verbal sparring, he undoubtedly had the upper hand.

Wang Yiwu shifted his gaze, scanning over Jiang Wang, Li Longchuan, and Xu Xiangqian one by one.

“You are good. I’ve remembered you.”

As for Zhang Yong, who only showed a Zhou Tian realm cultivation, he was ignored.

In fact, Zhang Yong’s success made many people rethink the dangers of the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm. They believed that luck might be more important than strength in this secret realm.

Xu Xiangqian was confused. “If you’re sick, go to East King Valley for treatment. What does it have to do with me?”

He came from the Green Cliff Academy and wasn’t a Qi state citizen, so he wasn’t afraid of Wang Yiwu. He also lacked awe for the Great Qi military god behind him.

“He thinks…” Chong Xuansheng stepped forward to explain, as if he couldn’t bear to waste his eloquence: “Although everyone doesn’t remember what happened, if the four of us hadn’t joined forces in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, I would never have been able to snatch the opportunity from him. In fact, I wouldn’t have been able to survive.”

Although Wang Yiwu did mean that, some things were better left unsaid to maintain peace. Saying them would inevitably lead to conflict.

Because some cultivators didn’t just represent themselves, but also the face of their families to some extent.

Li Longchuan said coldly, “Wang Yiwu, you are too arrogant!”

Wang Yiwu didn’t explain; that was what he meant. He could handle the slight dissatisfaction of these people.

He just said to Chong Xuansheng, “Chong Xuansheng, you better know when to stop. You should know that a supernatural power palace is nothing.”

“Brother Wang, this is the second time you’ve advised me. It’s pointless to keep doing this.” Chong Xuansheng still smiled, looking harmless. “Why don’t you go back and try to advise my brother once? Maybe he’ll listen to you.”

The brother Chong Xuansheng was talking about was naturally Chong Xuanzun.

Wang Yiwu stopped talking and turned to leave.

He realized that he could probably blow up this fatty ten times with one punch, but he could never win against him in a war of words.

But the other party was a direct descendant of the Chongxuan family, not someone he could just blow up.

As soon as Wang Yiwu left, Chong Xuansheng immediately seized the opportunity and cupped his hands to the others. “Thank you for your help in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm!”

He seemed to have completely forgotten how wary he was of Li Longchuan before entering the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

He was much more considerate of human relationships than Wang Yiwu, and he didn’t leave out Zhang Yong in his thanks.

No one knew what happened in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, but it was never wrong to make a few friends. Especially when these “friends” were all likely to develop supernatural powers.

Li Longchuan didn’t want to interfere in the internal power struggles of the Chongxuan family. He just smiled and didn’t reply.

Zhang Yong seemed very introverted and unaccustomed to this kind of scene. He just muttered, “What help could I have been? I probably relied on your help.”

“Easy, easy.” Xu Xiangqian didn’t know if he had helped or not, but he was shameless.

As long as there were thanks, praise, and compliments, he would accept them.

Jiang Wang was also there, not saying anything. But he knew he must have taken action in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm, because his sword was gone.

He had never let go of his sword while traveling thousands of miles, and he would never have done so in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm.

He had comprehended three nascent styles after traveling tens of thousands of miles. The sword of the sun, moon, and stars, the sword of mountains and rivers, and the sword of the vast sea of people.

Only at the moment of drawing the sword did he attain perfection.

This was his greatest trump card at the moment.

Unfortunately, the memory of his body had also been erased. He didn’t know which sword he had drawn.

The Heavenly Palace Secret Realm had ended. After chatting casually, everyone dispersed.

The Heavenly Palace Secret Realm’s grand gathering, held once every twelve years, had come to an end.

Chong Xuansheng looked back. “Shisi, let’s go back!”

Shisi, wearing his helmet and armor, silently followed behind him.

Jiang Wang had never heard Shisi say a word, but he felt that the two of them had a very harmonious aura.

“We grew up wearing open-crotch pants together!” Noticing Jiang Wang’s gaze, Chong Xuansheng said with a hearty laugh.

No wonder he didn’t treat Shisi like a death warrior.

Two partners who grew up together, one became a noble young master from a famous family, and the other became a personal death warrior. It was inevitable to sigh at fate.

But who said that fate wasn’t like that?

Walking out of the Full Moon Lake, they were surprised to see Zhang Yong surrounded by a group of people, looking flustered.

Chong Xuansheng smiled and explained, “They’re snatching talent.”

Although Wang Yiwu had said that a supernatural power palace was nothing, he might have been arrogant enough to say that.

But in fact, a future powerhouse with a supernatural power palace was enough to attract various forces to fight over.

The reason everyone was surrounding Zhang Yong wasn’t that they weren’t interested in the others, but that they knew their limits.

Xu Xiangqian was from the Green Cliff Academy, Li Longchuan came from the Li family of Stone Gate, Wang Yiwu was a disciple of the military god, Chong Xuansheng was a disciple of the Chongxuan family, and Jiang Wang was an outside helper he had invited, so he was naturally considered to belong to the Chongxuan family.

They had no chance to compete for them.

Only Zhang Yong, although his ancestors were also prominent, the Zhang family of Phoenix Immortal had declined for a long time. There was still a great chance to win him over.

Seeing his flustered appearance, Jiang Wang called out, “Zhang Yong! Still waiting for us?”

Chong Xuansheng, being a shrewd person, immediately cooperated and put his arm around Zhang Yong’s shoulder. “I told you to wait inside. You had to come out to wait. Let’s go quickly, or the food will get cold!”

Zhang Yong was taken out of the crowd by them in a daze.

Walking along the streets of Heavenly Palace City, Zhang Yong said awkwardly, “That, I, don’t want to join another family…”

Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head, looking very apologetic.

Chong Xuansheng laughed heartily. He was probably too shameless himself, so he liked people who had a sense of shame. “Are we just in a relationship of recruitment when we were close comrades in the Heavenly Palace Secret Realm?”

“No, I didn’t mean that…”

“Alright, I won’t keep you for a drink.” Chong Xuansheng stopped there and patted Zhang Yong’s shoulder. “You should go back quickly. Your family must be waiting for you to return home in glory!”

Zhang Yong was still stammering.

Jiang Wang joked, “Hurry up and leave, or those people will come and pull you away again!”

Hearing this, Zhang Yong didn’t even bother to say goodbye and ran away.

Because there were too many shameless people in this world, shy and introverted people sometimes seemed very cute.

But for some reason, looking at Zhang Yong’s back, Jiang Wang suddenly had a familiar feeling.

But he couldn’t find where that feeling came from.
