"You don't have to wonder why I'm like this. Even though I am a disciple of the Floating Cloud Pavilion, my heart is filled with hatred towards them.

However, his grandfather was kind-hearted. When he found out that the pavilion was going with the flow, using the lives of many innocent cultivators and the citizens of Qi to complete that wisp of Heavenly Dragon's Aura, he immediately objected.

This act of disregarding human life as worthless was a grave violation of the righteous sects' goal. As a righteous grandfather, he absolutely could not tolerate such a thing happening.

There were many times when he tried to persuade Floating Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Master and the Cloud Water Cliff, and at the pavilion's higher ups meetings, he publicly objected. However, in the entire pavilion, for the development of the sect, it seemed as if the Heavenly Dragon Qi was determined to win, and did not care at all.

Until the last meeting of the pavilion's core elders, when grandfather left and never returned, my grandfather and grandson lost contact and their fate was unknown.

However, there were rumors within the sect. Some people said that his grandfather was being placed under house arrest while others said that he had been killed. However, the sect still didn't have a clear att.i.tude and treated this matter with contempt.

Maybe it's to maintain the status quo, maybe it's because I don't want to get into the limelight, my grandfather's matter was so rare that it didn't affect me. Not only that, they even sent me, who didn't meet the original requirements, into this secret realm.

Initially, I was curious and thought that the sect was feeling guilty so I decided to do it. But when I entered this secret realm and saw that the disciples of the other pavilions all possessed Transfer Jade Strip s specially made out of the sect's secrets and I was the only one who didn't have one myself, I suddenly realized that it was not because of my good intentions but rather that the pavilion was trying to borrow the secret realm's power to wipe me out in secret.

Lei Yang's heart was also filled with emotions. He would never have thought that this guy would have such an unfortunate encounter behind him, even though he looked like a diaosi on the surface.

In actuality, in terms of situation, although Zhang Qing was a disciple of the Floating Cloud Pavilion, he was in the same situation as Lei Yang, and they were both facing life threatening situations.

Seeing Zhang Qing feeling gloomy at the moment, Lei Yang took the initiative to go over and pat his shoulder to express her consolation. Lei Yang was very clear on the feeling of being abandoned, and was even more so able to empathize with him.

Zhang Qing noticed that his emotions were off, and smiled towards Lei Yang to show his friendliness, but also responded to in a friendly manner, and quickly tidied up his emotions before continuing.

"For this wisp of Heavenly Dragon Qi, the four sects are determined to win this time. They have secretly set up a trap, and other than killing the peak level rogue cultivators, the four sects will not hold back against each other even after fighting to the end.

Thus, in order to protect myself, I had to search everywhere for treasures of heaven and earth to quickly increase my cultivation. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for me to survive in the cracks between the four sects for half a year before my teleportation opens.

It can be said that this trial is the most brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y ever since the four sects joined forces. When the Heavenly Dragon Qi is complete, this place will also turn into a living h.e.l.l. "

After Zhang Qing said this, worry appeared in both their eyes. This worry was not for themselves, but for their loved ones. For their loved ones. For their hearts. First, they had to survive.

After a long while, the two of them looked at each other. They seemed to be able to see the determination and decisiveness in each other's eyes. They both reached out their right hands at the same time like brothers that had just reunited after a long time.

If it was the same kind of person, even though they had just met, they would be like brothers that had just reunited after a long time. There was no need to say much.

There was no need to say anything else. This was the result of the two of them choosing to unconditionally trust each other. Lei Yang did not doubt Zhang Qing's words in the slightest, and in this way, Zhang Qing's heart was moved that he had not heard of for a long time.

In this world where the strong were revered, where cultivators cheated each other just for their own selfish desires, this world where one saw gains and lost all sense of justice, and the unconditional trust between companions, this was something extremely valuable.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, then Lei Yang spoke in a heroic manner: "Good, since it's like this, us two brothers must work together to defy the heavens, even if it's the Four Great Sects, what is there to be afraid of?"

"Good!" "Brother, in the future, the two of us will join hands and retreat together. We will kill one of them and topple the other while wailing like ghosts and howling like wolves!" Zhang Qing was not a shy person. Seeing that he had not only achieved his goal, but had also gained a good brother, he also straightforwardly laughed, his eyes revealing his sincerity and grat.i.tude.

This call of brother was the true acknowledgement of Lei Yang from the bottom of his heart, and was also the return of his trust in Lei Yang.

The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, chatting and laughing. They did not linger as they continued to head towards the direction of the mountain range.

Ever since that day in the mountain valley, after Zhang Qing stole the Dragonheart Fruit, he was chased down by the rogue cultivator in the grey robe and the three cultivators at the Spiritual Qi great circle. After running for so long, he was barely able to escape with his life on the line. In the end, he risked his life to charge into that land of death, and only then was he able to find a slim chance of survival.

Who knew that not long after they lay dormant at the edge of the forest, the countless Withered Leaf beasts went berserk. He thought that the cultivators from the four sects had thrown in medicinal pills, but helplessly, they were chased all the way to the heart of the forest.

He just happened to see the scene of Lei Yang being surrounded by countless Withered Leaf Beasts and turned into a ball of dried up leaves, and only then did he realize that the Withered Leaf beasts were not coming for him at all. Delighted, he was just about to leave carefully when suddenly, a ray of red blood flashed past.

Lei Yang was in a coma at the time, but he guessed that the mysterious blood light was most likely due to the blood red face tattoo, but he did not reveal it to anyone. After all, even if they were brothers, they still needed to keep a secret.

After interacting with them, Lei Yang realized that Zhang Qing was not only a straightforward person, he was also very cunning and had a lot of schemes, especially with regards to the robberies, there were many methods. He was always familiar with the routes, as if he had already made sufficient preparations before entering this place.

It could be said that Lei Yang was in a blind spot in the past, but now, with Zhang Qing, everything had changed. He had a clear goal, and that was to seize resources, raise his cultivation, and live.

According to the information Zhang Qing obtained from the Floating Cloud Pavilion, the area of the secret realm was extremely large and the location of the Dragon Abyss was located at the very center of the entire secret realm.

In reality, if the Dragon Abyss was the center and divided outwards, the entire terrain could be divided into three types, from the inside to the outside. They were the desert, the mountain plains, and the water lakes, forming three distinct circles.

Based on the information given to them, the location where Lei Yang and Yue Yang were at right now was the mountain and plains in the Second Ring of the Secret Realm.

This was the most dangerous place in the secret realm. In this place, there were countless mountain ranges. It was a place where heavenly materials and earthly treasures gathered. It was also known as the 'safe zone'. The plains were a dangerous place, a land of death, filled with endless dangers.

This was because there was a great opportunity there, and it was also the exit to the secret realm of the great tomb. Before they reached that place, whoever could push their cultivation to the limit would be the final winner.

But before reaching Dragon Abyss, cultivators would not choose to break through their Spirit Origin Realm, because only by reaching there and obtaining enough of the Earth Dragon's aura as well as baptism of the body could one truly become a profound pract.i.tioner, and countless cultivators came precisely for this kind of good fortune.

After determining the route, Lei Yang and Yue Yang quickly headed towards the Dragon Abyss. Just like that, the two of them started to work together and started their crazy plan to s.n.a.t.c.h the resources.
