Yun Chen was not an easy person to deal with either. He maintained a calm expression as he looked at Long Zhantian and slowly said, "Long Elder, you overstate the matter. The Yun Family's discovery of the Ancient Secret Realm was merely a stroke of luck. We have no intention of monopolizing it; we only wish to explore together and share the opportunities."
Upon hearing this, Long Zhantian's gaze flickered slightly, indicating that he was not entirely satisfied with Yun Chen's response. However, he understood that this was not the time to confront the Yun Family. Thus, he nodded slightly and replied, "What the Yun Family Head says makes sense. We have come here not to be enemies with the Yun Family but to hope that you will open your doors and allow us to explore the Ancient Secret Realm together."
Yun Chen felt a bit relieved at these words. He recognized that Long Zhantian had made a concession. With a smile, he nodded and said, "Rest assured, Long Elder, the Yun Family will definitely keep our word."
However, after a moment of silence, Yun Chen's expression grew serious as he continued, "According to our Elder's investigation, this secret realm is extremely peculiar; it only permits those below the Imperial Realm to enter. If anyone above the Imperial Realm attempts to force their way in, they will trigger the restrictions within the realm and be directly annihilated without any chance of survival."
Long Zhantian felt a hint of doubt arise in his heart upon hearing this. He slowly spoke up, his tone carrying a hint of probing: "Yun Family Head, since the secret realm is so mysterious, why not invite us in for a discussion?"
Yun Chen quickly responded, "I apologize for my rudeness. Since you have traveled from afar, please allow me to show you to some refreshments inside."
The group entered the Yun Mansion in grand fashion and arrived at a spacious and bright hall. Once everyone was seated, Yun Chen waved his hand lightly to dismiss the attendants, leaving only the important figures from the Three Sects and Five Families to discuss matters regarding the secret realm.
After pondering for a moment, Long Zhantian spoke firmly: "Since those above the Imperial Realm cannot enter this secret realm, let us each send fifty younger members from our families to explore it. What do you all think?"
Yun Chen nodded slightly in agreement and said, "That seems like the most prudent course of action at present." The other families also expressed their approval upon hearing Long Zhantian's proposal. Just as everyone was preparing to finalize their decision, a cold and calm voice suddenly rang out: "I have one more condition."
At these words, everyone's attention instantly shifted to the speaker—Xue Linglong, an elder from the Xue Family. Dressed in plain clothing with a cold demeanor, she stood there like a proud winter plum blossom.
Xue Linglong scanned the crowd with her gaze and stated calmly, "Within the secret realm, life and death shall not be debated. No family is allowed to settle accounts afterward to avoid straining our relations."
Her words, though light, seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds, causing everyone present to shudder involuntarily.
A rugged man in the crowd furrowed his brow and spoke in a deep, resonant voice, "It seems the Xue Family is quite confident. Has that Heaven-chosen one, Xue Qingyu, already broken through to the Peak of the King? Is that why you dare to speak so boldly?"
His words dripped with provocation and skepticism; he was none other than Long Xiangyang of the Long Family.
Xue Linglong shot him a glance, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips, yet she did not respond to his question.
The hall fell into a heavy silence as everyone awaited Xue Linglong's reply, but she seemed entirely uninterested in speaking further.
After a long pause, Yun Chen finally broke the silence. He spoke slowly, "As Elder Xue mentioned, within the secret realm, each will rely on their own abilities; life and death are not our concern. A month from now, we will head to the secret realm together, and I hope each family can gain something from it."
With Yun Chen's words, the discussion regarding the exploration of the secret realm came to a close at last.
