Chapter 262 Each with Their Own Background
"Huh! It's already light out!"
In an instant, everyone in the secret realm couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, their voices filled with shock and bewilderment.
At this time, the Ji family and the Sima family, seeing that the number of Rakshasa was increasing, were still observing the situation in the east from outside.
When they saw the secret realm suddenly bright as day, both families were startled.
"This is bad! The Xuanyuan family is definitely up to something big. This dawn is so strange; they might have some great benefit in store. We must get there immediately!"
Upon seeing the extraordinary phenomenon in the sky, Ji Wushuang's eyes gleamed with intense greed.
"Wushuang, you're right. We can't wait any longer. Notify the clansmen to prepare. Next, we must break through the Rakshasa Tide at all costs and head straight for the Xuanyuan family's location!" The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Ji family ordered sternly.
Then, he glanced at the Sima family members and said, "Fellow Daoist Sima, a great opportunity is about to arrive, why hide any longer!"
"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Ji Rong, you can't sit still anymore, can you!"
A young cultivator who looked to be no more than twenty years old laughed loudly as he pushed through the crowd and walked out from the Sima family's residence.
But just after he took a few steps, his facial features began to subtly change.
His originally soft facial features gradually hardened, and in just a few breaths, he transformed from a young man who looked to be in his early twenties back to his original mature, composed, and dignified appearance.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Sima Kun. With such a great opportunity before us, why don't we join forces? We can't let the Xuanyuan family monopolize the limelight!" Ji Rong cupped his hands towards the cultivators from the Sima family and said. Although his face was smiling, his eyes held a hint of scrutiny.
Sima Kun laughed heartily and returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute, seemingly warm but actually harboring wariness: "Fellow Daoist Ji Rong is absolutely right, but these Rakshasa Killers are endless, blocking our path. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Ji Rong has any brilliant plan?"
Hehehe...
Upon hearing this, Ji Rong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. He then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Sima, we have both been assigned to this secret realm by our families. With the Sima family's resources, I truly do not believe that your family has not bestowed any treasures to deal with unexpected situations."
Sima Kun's heart skipped a beat, but he still smiled and replied unhurriedly, "Fellow Daoist Ji Rong is too kind. Although my Sima family has some resources, how could we dare to hide them in this perilous secret realm? I just wonder what methods the Ji family has to break through this Rakshasa Tide?"
His words seemed casual, but they were actually loaded with hidden meaning; he wanted to test the Ji family's strength and weaknesses.
Ji Rong naturally understood Sima Kun's implied meaning, and snorted inwardly, but still maintained a calm expression, saying, "In that case, how about we each lead our own people inside?"
"Good! I hope Fellow Daoist Ji Rong won't fall behind!" Sima Kun said, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, an ancient square cauldron appeared out of thin air.
This cauldron is over three feet tall, covered with obscure and incomprehensible runes, and its handles are carved with ferocious beast heads, faintly radiating powerful energy.
"The Sifang Beast Cauldron!"
Ji Rong was shocked. The Sifang Beast Cauldron was one of the Sima family's treasured artifacts, possessing earth-shattering power. He never expected that the Sima family would bring this item into the secret realm.
Although this secret realm has peculiar rules that suppress the cultivation level of cultivators who enter it.
Especially for cultivators above the Golden Core stage, once their true aura is detected by the rules of the secret realm, it's like triggering a death switch, and they will inevitably suffer ruthless and forceful annihilation.
For this reason, Nascent Soul cultivators tread on thin ice when they enter this place, and must rely on magical treasures that can conceal their aura in order to escape the punishment of the rules.
What's strange is that this rule seems to be particularly "lenient" towards magical artifacts, and it doesn't forcibly erase artifacts just because they are high-level magical artifacts.
Perhaps it's because magical artifacts themselves lack life, or perhaps they are the embodiment of rules; in any case, no one can say for sure.
Moreover, this secret realm is scattered with all sorts of magical treasures, quietly waiting for a destined person to come and explore them...
