There were several figures gathered outside the huge palace, and many people were rushing inside. However, the moment they approached the entrance of the hall, they were blocked by an invisible force. No matter how they used their methods, they were unable to do so.
Enter.
Among them are some powerful men at the fifth and sixth levels of the Tianhe Realm.
Ye Mu paused, with a look of contemplation on his face. He had already felt several auras inside, and those auras without exception were rippling with familiar fluctuations.
Could it be that only those with the key can enter?
Thinking of this, Ye Mu no longer hesitated and slowly walked up the white jade-like stairs with Wen Li.
Sure enough, holding the key, Ye Mu entered the gate of the palace without any surprise.
In the splendid hall, there were already several figures standing in it. Ye Mu glanced around and saw that there were about dozens of people. The auras emanating from these people were all powerful and long, and they were obviously not simple things.
Those people belonged to different forces, the most obvious of which was no stranger to Ye Mu. They were people from the five major clans. At this time, he had already felt several eyes with murderous intent cast on him.
For example... Ye Tingyu, Wang Lu, and people from the Jiang clan.
It seemed that they already knew that they had killed Jiang Lin and Jiang He, but the other party hated him so much, but still did not take action, which was obviously against common sense. And just when he was confused, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Haha, the holder of the last key has also arrived. It seems it's time to open the secret."
Ye Mu looked around and saw three figures walking towards the depths of the golden palace. They were full of fierce aura, and the one in front was even more powerful. They had a certain magnanimity while walking like a dragon or a tiger.
At this time, the man had a rich smile on his face, and his luxurious bright yellow robe revealed his extraordinary status.
"See King Ming!"
When Ye Mu frowned secretly at the figure, he saw many figures in the hall bowing to that figure.
It turned out to be someone from the royal family. After Ye Mu realized what he was doing, he also bowed slightly.
In my mind, I was guessing about the identity of King Ming. There were more than ten powerful people in the Great Zhou Kingdom who were crowned kings by the royal family. Those people were all powerful people who could dominate one side, and with their strength, they should not be allowed to enter this space.
That's right.
"This King Ming is the younger brother of the current emperor. Although he is not strong enough to be king, he is very talented in business and alchemy, so he is highly trusted by the current emperor. I am afraid that he will not be able to do this during this trip to the secret realm."
He is the one who truly represents the royal family." A cold voice came, and Ye Mu's eyes moved slightly, but he saw Wen Li blinking at him.
Wen Li's voice transmission made him feel shocked. He didn't know what the other party's plan was. Could it be that he really wanted everyone present to hand over the keys in their hands?
Facing the five major clans, even the royal family cannot afford to be so disrespectful.
While he was thinking secretly, he heard King Ming say: "Since everyone has arrived, please hand over all the keys in your hands."
Hearing this, Ye Mu was stunned, but the people from the five major clans handed over the keys without hesitation. It looked like they had discussed it in advance. Under his gaze, it was unknown which three forces the others belonged to.
The person also handed over the key in his hand to King Na Ming.
"Little brother, where's yours?"
After putting all eight secret keys in his hand, King Ming turned his attention to Ye Mu, with a faint smile on his face, looking extremely friendly.
Hearing his inquiry, Ye Mu handed over the key after a slight hesitation.
No one from the five major clans has any objections, so what if he doesn't want to give it.
Taking over the last secret key from Ye Mu, the smile on King Ming's face grew stronger.
Under the gaze of many eyes, King Ming threw the key in his hand into the void, and said to the golden seat on the high seat in the center of the hall: "The nine secret keys are ready. Please show up, senior, to open the secret treasure."
A faint voice resounded in the quiet hall, everyone looked indifferent, but Ye Mu frowned, not knowing why, and looked at Wen Li, who also looked at him at this time,
He shook his head slightly, indicating that he was unclear.
Seeing this, Ye Mu withdrew his gaze and waited quietly.
And just a few breaths after King Ming's voice fell, a figure emerged from in front of the golden seat.
The man was wearing a simple gray gown and had an ordinary face. His whole face was a little pale, but his eyes were extremely bright, and there was a heart-stopping light in his eyes.
Ye Mu looked at the person who appeared in front of the seat out of thin air, with a look of astonishment on his face. He really didn't expect to see him here.
That figure was clearly the middle-aged man who gave him the jade ring.
Just when Ye Mu looked at the middle-aged man in astonishment, the other man seemed to feel something. He cast his gaze towards him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slightly.
Ye Mu's heart trembled slightly. It seemed that his and Ji Ba's guess that day was indeed accurate.
This person's strength must be far stronger than that of the Tianhe realm, and most likely not weaker than the master of the secret realm, otherwise how could he be treated like this by the royal family.
"Now that all the secret keys are complete, it's time to open the secret." The middle-aged man glanced around the hall and said, "However, each force that has obtained the key can only enter one person."
Wow.
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, everyone became uneasy. If only one person could enter, wouldn't this be a wasted opportunity?
As if he knew what they were thinking, the middle-aged man continued: "There are five inheritances in this secret treasure. Each of you has one person and you can fight for it with your own abilities. As for other things, it is not important to all your forces.
A piece of cake."
Hearing that there were five inheritances among them, everyone felt relieved. They originally thought that there was only one inheritance, but now there was no need to be too nervous.
After all, compared to fighting for an inheritance, the chance of obtaining an inheritance is undoubtedly much greater now.
However, at present, the five inheritances are able to enter nine people.
Can the redundant people be eliminated before then?
Almost instantly, most people present thought of this, and then they all looked at the people from other forces with unkind eyes.
However, more eyes fell on Ye Mu. Obviously, he and Wen Li were at an absolute disadvantage among everyone.
Not to mention that there were already people who hated him among those people.
"If you have no objections, then quickly decide who will enter the secret vault." The middle-aged man looked at the many figures in the hall and said calmly.
After his words fell, there was a burst of noise in the hall. It was obvious that all forces were discussing the candidates to enter the secret vault.
Ye Mu also looked at Wen Li and said softly: "Are you going?"
Facing Ye Mu's gaze, Wen Li was a little surprised, shook her head and said, "This is your opportunity." She really didn't expect that Ye Mu would give this benefit to her.
Whether it's sincere or fake, being able to speak has already surprised Wen Li. After all, the inheritance in it is at least left by the powerful Fate Tribulation. In the face of such a shocking opportunity, it is good to remain rational.
, how can anyone be willing to give up the opportunity they have to others so easily.
But he obviously underestimated Ye Mu. Although the inheritance was indeed tempting, Ye Mu was confident that even without this inheritance, he would not be weaker than others. One day, he would definitely be able to surpass those people.
As for Wen Li, Ye Mu felt a little guilty. When the two were walking together, Wen Li gave up most of the treasures to him. He had said harsh words to others before, so he gave this opportunity to her. Ye Mu
Mu has no regrets at all.
"I'm serious." Eyes fixed on Wen Li, a soft smile appeared on Ye Mu's face.
Facing the smiling Ye Mu, Wen Li still shook her head. She could see that Ye Mu was not pretending to test, but sincerely wanted to give her this opportunity. Although this opportunity was extremely tempting, she didn't want to.
able to do so.
So I still choose to refuse.
"You really don't want it?" Ye Mu chuckled, and then said: "Okay, forget it if you don't want it. I'm just being polite. If you really want it, I won't be able to part with it."
Seeing Ye Mu's casual joking, Wen Li couldn't help but smile, and a warm current surged through her heart.
On the way to this city, Ye Mu had been trying every means to make her happy. Now that he was thinking about her when facing this opportunity, it would be a lie to say that he was not touched at all.
After waiting quietly for a few breaths, all parties decided on the candidates to enter the secret vault, and the hall became quiet again.
"Haha, it seems that you have already made your decision." Looking at the quiet crowd, the middle-aged man smiled slightly.
"Then get ready to start."
When the last word fell, the middle-aged man's palm moved in the air.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Senior, I have a question."
When everyone heard this voice, their eyes were directed towards the source of the sound, and when Ye Mu saw this figure, a strange look appeared on his face.
The man had a fair face, an extremely young appearance, and bright green hair on his head. He was clearly Wang Lu.
The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, looked at Wang Lu, and said, "What's your problem?"
Facing those indifferent eyes, Wang Lu felt a little uneasy and said bravely: "Senior, there are only five inheritances, but we have nine people. Can we eliminate the redundant people in advance?"
As soon as his voice fell, there was a commotion in the place.
Obviously, Wang Lu asked them what they were thinking. They were intimidated by the middle-aged man's power and remained silent. Unexpectedly, Wang Lu was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.
"Then what do you want?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly, seeming a little displeased.
Seeing this, cold sweat broke out on Wang Lu's head, but with the mentality that the opponent would definitely not care about him if he was too strong, he still said: "Just fight that extra person alone, and there will be no objection to the winner.
The loser will not be qualified to enter."
After hearing this, many people in the field nodded. It is understandable to rely on strength to decide one's affiliation.
"So, who do you think is the redundant person?" The middle-aged man's eyes flashed slightly and his tone was indifferent.
Wang Lu was slightly stunned. There were four extra people. Of course, he couldn't target the other four major clans.
Among the remaining four people, he naturally had nothing to hesitate. He turned slightly sideways and turned his gaze to Ye Mu, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, with no concealment of murderous intent in his eyes.
