BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 - 99: Within the Secret Realm, This Prince is Unbeatable!!!
“It seems there’s a deep family heritage passed down through generations,” Lu Xuan gave a thumbs up.
No wonder the giant turtle addressed him as “lord” and pleaded so naturally. Generations of serving the Demon Emperor had given them plenty of experience.
“You flatter me, my lord, ” the giant turtle thought Lu Xuan was complimenting it.
“I do know some things about this secret realm,” the giant turtle revealed a very human-like expression, full of fawning smiles.
“To enter that palace, a Five Elements token is needed. There’s only one token in each area, and I happen to know where the Water Area’s token is. I’ll offer this treasure to my lord, in the hopes that you’ll spare my life.”
Lu Xuan smiled slightly, “If I kill you, wouldn’t the treasure be mine anyway?”
The giant turtle: ‘
That seemed to be the case.
It wanted to cry but had no tears.
It seemed its fate today was sealed.
Tears welled in the giant turtle’s eyes as it pleaded, “When you kill me, my lord, please sharpen your blade first. I’ve been afraid of pain since I was young…”
Then it stretched its neck and closed its eyes.
However, the expected pain did not come.
Lu Xuan patted its head.
“Alright, you’re such a coward as a turtle, killing you would tarnish my heroic spirit. ”
The giant turtle: “Ah?”
Lu Xuan nodded slightly:
“Today’s lesson is to teach you not to do evil again.”
When the three of them “fell into the water,” the giant turtle indeed did not attack; it flipped over and swam far away.
Saying it was coerced by the water snake was somewhat believable.
The Demon Emperor’s secret realm had been sealed for many years and had just emerged today.
The giant turtle’s first wrongdoing was stumbling upon Lu Xuan.
During their conversation, the water snake corpse-turned “whip” kept hitting.
It was struck a total of 1,296 times, reducing its cultivation by 1,296 years.
Lu Xuan, considering its first offense and possible coercion, lightened the punishment.
After administering punishment and making it swear by its bloodline not to do evil again, he spared the turtle’s life.
“Thank you for your grace, my lord! Thank you for your grace!” the giant turtle was tearfully grateful, quickly casting a secret technique and swearing by its bloodline.
Having regained its life today, it dared not commit evil again.
It performed a spell, causing ripples on the lake surface.
Below the lake, countless fish gathered, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Soon, the fish swarmed towards the giant turtle, clustering together tightly.
On the backs of the fish, there was a palm-sized turtle shell, dark in color and as smooth as ink jade.
“This, my lord, is the token to open the central palace,” the giant turtle scooped up the ink jade turtle shell and respectfully presented it to Lu Xuan.
“That central palace should be part of the ‘Eastern Palace’ within the Demon Emperor’s bedroom.
In the center, there is an Imperial Child in slumber, waiting for the arrival of other Imperial Children.”
The giant turtle divulged everything it knew.
Lu Xuan laughed.
“Nine dragons vying for the throne… This should be quite a spectacle.”
“Please sit tight, my lords. Let this old one take you to the other shore,” the giant turtle volunteered, seemingly eager to atone for its sins.
“Agreed,” Lu Xuan nodded.
Thus, the giant turtle glowed, swiftly navigating the vast lake.
Cheng Lingzhu and Nangong Xuan sat on the turtle’s back.
Lu Xuan, after some thought, stood atop the turtle’s head, arms folded behind him, gazing into the distance. The view from here was uniquely splendid.
At the edge of the Metal Sector in the Demon Emperor’s Secret Realm.
“The trial designed by your father is indeed challenging,” Yan Feiyu adjusted her breathing, her chest rising and falling.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many White Tiger Spirit Beasts in the Metal Sector, and they are so powerful,” the twin-tailed girl, Gu Li, panted heavily.
Going through this trial was like undergoing a tribulation.
Given another chance, she definitely would not choose to traverse the Metal Sector.
“We made it through somehow… That was close,” said Yan Feiyu’s attendant,
Yang Kuo.
In the Metal Sector, there were numerous White Tiger Spirit Beasts.
The west was represented by the White Tiger, symbolizing slaughter.
Even though the directions in the Demon Emperor’s Secret Realm were swapped, it did not diminish the ferocity of these White Tiger Spirit Beasts.
In ancient times, when the Demon Emperor conquered various realms and defeated countless strong enemies, the Metal Sector was filled with powerful magical weapons.
Naturally, the White Tiger Spirit Beasts nurtured by the murderous aura of these weapons were extremely difficult to deal with.
“Fortunately, we got the item,” Yan Feiyu spread her hand open, revealing a tiger tooth in her palm, radiant and white like jade, shimmering faintly.
This was the token from the Metal Sector to open the central palace.
The group rested for a while, just catching their breath, when they heard laughter coming from the nearby woods:
“Ha, isn’t this my little sister Gu Li?”
Hearing this, Gu Li’s expression changed immediately.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a figure slowly walking out of the woods.
The young man, in his twenties, wore a purple robe and had a somewhat arrogant demeanor.
Beside the purple-robed youth was a large golden-furred mystical dog, its neck adorned with white fur spreading out, vaguely forming a pattern like that of lightning.
Yan Feiyu narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she had not met him before, she guessed the identity of the newcomer at first sight.
Gu Li’s brother, the eldest prince, Gu Yuan.
Yan Feiyu gripped her weapon tightly, and her guards, Yang and Hu, did the same.
“You move quite fast,” Gu Li said, eyeing Gu Yuan cautiously.
