Chapter 435: All Things Are Straw Dogs (17)
Twenty minutes later, Si Cen learned enough information he wanted to know from Jiang Huaizhen and his group.
Some of the information was obtained through his calm guidance and questioning, such as what happened in the City of Life and Death after he fell into the blood pool.
He finally figured out, by listening and guessing, what kind of place was this where he had inexplicably appeared after falling into the blood pool.
This was not his original world, he had come to a secret place.
There are countless secret realms of all sizes scattered throughout the Three Realms. Some of these secret realms have their own patterns of appearance and closing. Once some sects in the upper cultivation world learn of this, they will send their disciples in to gain experience on time.
The secret realm where Si Cen is located is one of them.
This secret realm suddenly appeared after the City of Life and Death was breached, but it had always been closed. Later, the great men of the Immortal Alliance who took over the City of Life and Death worked tirelessly and mastered the simple way to enter and exit the secret realm three years ago.
Therefore, at that time, the Immortal Alliance held a competition to select a group of the most outstanding disciples to enter the secret realm for training and exploration.
Compared with other secret realms that have been developed many times in the Three Realms, this secret realm obviously has more abundant spiritual energy and more and better resources.
Therefore, the Immortal Alliance made the final decision and after making sufficient preparations, three years later, that is, now, a large number of disciples were sent in, and even some elders and powerful people who voluntarily lowered their realms, to enter this secret realm.
Jiang Huaizhen and the others were naturally among them.
However, their luck did not seem to be particularly good. As soon as they came in, they not only did not feel the abundant spiritual energy and huge amounts of spiritual herbs and artifacts in the secret realm as the previous batch of seniors who entered the secret realm had said, but they even encountered various dangers along the way.
Later, this group of unlucky people, each with their own misfortunes, met in a cave. In order to survive, they formed a team, and the Alliance of Unlucky People was officially established.
Who knew that there was no such thing as the most unlucky, only worse luck. Not only did they collectively encounter the illusion of poisonous flowers in the cave, but after thinking they had escaped death, they were actually attacked and hunted down by the giant python guarding the poisonous flowers. Later, someone in the team risked his life and found a way to escape at the cost of being seriously injured and falling in realm, and covered everyone's escape from the underground river.
After diving and swimming out from the pond in the cave, and then surfacing again, I actually arrived at the cave where Si Cen was.
They had no idea where they would end up.
But the situation was critical at the time. The giant python was chasing them madly and relentlessly. If they didn't escape, they would die.
Now they were escaping from death, and everyone was either injured or their spiritual power was almost exhausted. They ran into Si Cen again, and they were very unsure.
As for why my first reaction when I saw Si Cen was to think he was a monster from the secret realm, it was because of his face and his temperament.
Although there are a lot of good-looking men and women among the monks, I have never seen anyone as good-looking as Si Cen.
What's more, some of these people encountered monsters and even plants that were good at illusions when they first entered the secret realm, and the beauties they saw in the illusions were not as beautiful as Si Cen.
At this time, everyone was very nervous and wary of Si Cen who was talking to Jiang Huaizhen next to them.
Among them, the senior brother who was seriously injured because he found the escape route and covered everyone's escape had stopped breathing and his soul was annihilated without anyone knowing, and he opened his eyes in an instant.
The moment he opened his eyes, his pupils were stiff and empty for a very short time, and then returned to normal after a second.
However, when his eyes swept over the young man in red who was talking to Jiang Huaizhen not far away, after a moment of stunned expression, a hint of complexity flashed across his face.
I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances.
"Big Brother, are you awake? You fainted just now, how do you feel now?"
The anxious and concerned voice attracted everyone's attention, including Jiang Huaizhen, who was talking to Si Cen hoarsely, trying to get his true identity, to find out where this place was and whether he was willing to let them leave.
Seeing that the most outstanding chief senior brother of Yunlu Mountain's generation had woken up, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Brother Lin Feng, are you okay?" He came over happily and thanked him sincerely, "Thanks to you, you saved all of our lives. Thank you very much."
Lin Feng is not only the chief senior brother of Yunlu Mountain, he is also the direct disciple of Lingxiao Immortal Venerable, one of the only three great gods in the upper cultivation world. His status is quite high.
Even if we don't consider that he is their savior, just based on his master's protection, if Lin Feng gets into trouble in the secret realm because of them, their lives will not be easy after they get out.
Everyone was sincerely happy for Lin Feng's awakening.
The one who had been taking good care of Lin Feng when he was escaping and in the water was his fellow disciple Bai Xiaoxiao. It was she who asked him in surprise how he felt just now.
She didn't have a good face towards these burdens.
In her opinion, if it weren't for protecting this group of guys who were holding them back, her senior brother would never have ended up in such a mess and almost lost his life.
So she didn't have a good face towards Jiang Huaizhen at this time, "Shut up, my brother needs quiet now."
Si Cen thought that with Jiang Huaizhen's willful and arrogant personality, he would soon have a quarrel with this girl.
After all, this girl's tone and expression were as bad.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huaizhen's smile just froze for a moment, then he lowered his eyes, said sorry, and then quietly stepped back.
The others seemed to have an average relationship with Jiang Huaizhen. At most, they looked at him hesitantly but did not say anything. They all stayed beside Bai Xiaoxiao, silently watching her ask about Lin Feng's well-being.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, cast a gentle look at Jiang Huaizhen and nodded slightly to indicate that he was fine and had received his thanks.
Because of Lin Feng's weak response, Jiang Huaizhen's originally stiff and gloomy silence gradually dissipated, and he looked less uncomfortable.
However, he would not go closer at this time to annoy Bai Xiaoxiao. He retreated obediently and unknowingly got closer to Si Cen.
Si Cen looked at his changes and couldn't tell what emotion he felt.
He has been accustomed to all kinds of people's warmth and coldness in the world since he was very young, especially since he grew up in an environment where the strong prey on the weak, so he actually doesn't have much empathy, let alone a soft heart.
After entering the secret realm, he was unconditionally cared for and protected by He Xue for more than a month, which should be the warmest period in his life.
However, that warmth came to an abrupt end when He Xue resolutely left. Although she would always remember the dependence and peace she felt when hiding in his arms at that time, she also felt resentment.
As for the grandmother and the little grass in the village who were kind to him, perhaps that had once brought some comfort to Si Cen's young heart.
But then he was locked in this cave for ten years - yes, through questioning Jiang Huaizhen, he already knew that he had been trapped here for ten years.
In the past ten years, living alone, Si Cen, who was sharp, stubborn and full of thorns in childhood, has slowly become what he is now.
Keep calm and don't show your true emotions.
Also, I still don't trust anyone.
