Chapter 162: Why're They Following Us?

Soon, everyone assembled at the entrance of the secret realm. The reason why this realm was named 'secret' was that the opening wouldn't be fixed. Once it opened, it would stay at one place for around one month before closing once again for almost fifty years. After that, it would open again at another location. At present, this secret realm was available between Mount Hua Sect and Kunlun Sect around the forest area.

The rumor about the opening of the secret realm started around two years ago, even though they didn't confirm where the entrance would be. But around a month ago, when Tyler and his senior were still in the closed-door cultivation. So they didn't know anything about this kind of rumor and just followed the sect master to that place.

But after they got to that place, they saw a hoard of people standing there, and the crowd was so much that no one could see the entrance anymore.

Tyler wasn't curious. He just wanted to enter and find things that could help him rise to a higher level. If possible, he also wanted to see if that place had his power or not that could help him regain his memories. Until now, the system hadn't said anything about it, but it did tell him that if his powers were near, they would notify him instantly.

So he just had to travel to such places and find powerful things that might be his power.

But this secret realm was also filled with dangerous aspects. There were three layers in the realm, and after crossing each layer, they would obtain some special thing to increase their spiritual level. It could be anything starting from an ancient formation spell to a magical tool.

Every layer was filled with danger. For example, the villain and the male lead had to go through an illusion caused due to a heart demon, a hoard of monsters to obtain a spiritual herb, powerful beasts protecting magical tools, poisonous plants, and even the corpse of a demonic cultivator.

In the original world, there was a reason why Chang Hong quickly became a demonic cultivator. He had touched the corpse of a demonic cultivator, and a wisp of demonic energy traveled inside the villain's body, making his entire system unstable. The situation became so worse that negative situations and thoughts that had never troubled Chang Hong before were able to manipulate him into becoming the real villain he had been until the end. Even the righteous cultivation method he used to practice failed to kick the demonic energy out of his system, but some demonic cultivators gave him another method for cultivation.

That was how Chang Hong became a demonic cultivator.

But if Tyler were to go inside the secret realm, he would have to keep away from that corpse. After determining this, Tyler and the male lead exchanged glances and followed the sect master.

In a while, the door to the secret realm opened instantly, and everyone entered the place in a rush. The crowd also became excited and dashed inside. No one knew whether there were demonic cultivators among them, and no one cared about it. They just wanted to enter that place and find treasures!

They would keep fighting those demons if someone came in their way!

So several groups from different small and bigger sects entered excitedly along with Tyler and the male lead. Their team had Cheng Xiu, Shen Qiu, Hou Huiqing, Zhao Jiayi, and a few more young disciples. They thought that they would have a pleasant journey inside the realm. But what they didn't know was that for some reason, some of the demonic cultivators planned to be stationed at the entrance, waiting for all the cultivators to enter.

Some righteous cultivators saw them and scolded those people only to be kicked away by powerful demons. It almost felt like they were waiting for someone to enter. Feng Chao noticed this and frowned.

"Are they waiting for us?" He whispered to Tyler, who was also glancing at the entrance.

"Maybe it was Shen Qiu's idea. He must have planned something."

"Be careful." Feng Chao's hands tightened around his partner's wrists as they walked toward the door.

Soon, the entire group entered the realm, and for some reason, the demonic cultivators' eyes followed Tyler and his group, and they also followed them closely.

"Why are they following us?" Zhao Jiayi couldn't help but whisper.

"Just ignore them." His master said and glanced coldly at the group of demonic cultivators. There was a reason why he didn't want to fight with these cultivators. A majority of them were powerful, basically around the Nascent soul stage, and it would be difficult for Tyler and his group to get rid of all of those demons quickly.

So it was better to be safe than sorry.

It wasn't like he couldn't deal with those people. He was a powerhouse, but he wasn't alone now, and he had a partner. He didn't want to do anything that might trouble his baby. So thinking like that, he decided to curb his desire to just go all out on those demonic cultivators and dragged Tyler out of there at a faster pace.

Shen Qiu was surprised by this. At first, he had thought that person would end up fighting those demonic cultivators at the sight of them. According to his experience with his master, the latter would become furious at the mere sight of those demons. But why did he act like the latter group wasn't even present?!

He suddenly glanced at Chang Hong, and his eyes darkened. It should be because of his partner!

But Shen Qiu took a deep breath and calmed himself down. There will be more chances of taking his senior martial brother's life. This secret realm was filled with secrets and dangers at every nook and corner. So if anyone were to die here, no one could be blamed.

When Shen Qiu was thinking like this, the female lead's eyes flickered past him and caught this kind of insane expression. She frowned at that and lowered her head.

She already knew that this guy Shen Qiu was a wolf in a sheep's body, but this kind of expression instead made Shen Qiu a sinister serial killer than a righteous cultivator. She suddenly felt a shiver down her spine at the thought of this.
