The conference opens its curtain.

  Half a month later, early in the morning.

  For the past half month, the city has been bustling with excitement. People from various cities around Nuo City and people of all sizes and factions have come to this city one after another, making this already prosperous city in the southern part of the Great An Dynasty even more prosperous.

  On the street, people come and go, bustling with excitement. From time to time, some young men and women with weapons at their waists walk by, always startling a burst of surprised gasps.

  "That symbol, shouldn't it be the Yang family from Liu Town? I heard that the young master of the Yang family had reached the ninth level of Body Tempering many years ago. After so many years, he should have reached the stage of a Ninth-Rank Martial Artist by now. Otherwise, why would he come to participate in the Mystic Void Secret Realm Conference?"

  "Cut! What if he's a ninth-grade martial artist? This year, I think the winner is Du Fei from the Du family. Moreover, it's said that both Du Han and Du Qian will also participate in the Xuan You Secret Realm Conference. With these three freaks joining forces, who else has a chance of winning?"

  "That's hard to say! It is said that Du Fei's strength lies in his identity as a Dan master, the mysterious and strange place of Xuan You Mi Jing, don't you know? Come on, I'll tell you!"

  "Cut it out, you little scoundrel! Weren't you the one who hid at the entrance of the Mystic Void Sect for half a month back then? What's with the pretentious act?"

  "What the hell! What did you say?!"

  "Don't bother with those two idiots, but if you insist on saying that the Du family will definitely win this time, it's not necessarily true. The Du family has been too high-profile lately, and they're in a precarious position. Whether it's the Lian or Gongsun families, or other powers, I'm sure they all see them as thorns in their side. Although there aren't many other powers, there are still a few talented individuals among them. If these people join forces, maybe this time the Du family will be like a meat-filled bun being bitten by a dog!"

  "It's hard to say! This mysterious and subtle realm, which time has an unexpected outcome? Speaking of this, how much did the underground Zhuang family's disk mouth come from?"

  "By the way, I heard that Du Fei is offering a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Oh, this was from last night, but today it's changed to buy-one-get-three-free!"

  "How could this have happened?!"

  "It's said that someone has received a tip-off, and even the family doesn't know where they came from to invite three 9th-grade martial artists to participate in the Xuanyou Secret Realm Conference. Du Fei will probably not be able to come out on top, after all his strength is only at the 9th grade!"

  "I see, so it seems I need to make some changes then, let me think about it and get back to you later!"

  In the midst of all the gossip and chatter, the others didn't seem to care much, after all, compared to these street rumors, they were more concerned with the mysterious and secluded world itself.

  Apart from some martial artists with no background, others simply wouldn't bother to investigate these rumors.

  About a hundred miles east of the city, there is a continuous mountain range. After walking three or four meters into the mountains, you can vaguely see a thin mist.

  In the fog, however, there was a giant platform built with bluestone, and at this moment, countless people and horses were standing on it. Among them, some were sitting and some were standing, and in the middle, they were none other than the three major forces of the city.

  This is the entrance to the Mystic Realm, it is said that the predecessor who did not pass through the city also inadvertently broke into this fog and found the Mystic Realm.

  The climate here is very strange, with fog lingering for years on end. Only once every three years will there be half a month's time when the thick fog thins out slightly. And only at this time can people have the opportunity to enter the mysterious and secluded realm, while normally it is impossible to enter, after all, in the thick fog, wanting to find something is like taking a standard inch-step ah!

  In this half month, people from various major forces, as long as they have not entered before, are qualified to enter the Mystic Void Realm and no one will stop you.

  However, various major forces generally send their elite children to enter.

  After all, there are countless dangers in the mysterious and secluded realm, and it's not a place where just anyone can come and go as they please.

  Ordinary people going in there will not have any benefits except for sending themselves to death.

  At this time, the Du family gathered at the scene, Du Fei stood quietly with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, and didn't know what he was thinking about. Beside him, Du Qian also didn't say a word. However, Du Han had already walked around on the giant platform with a smile on his face, constantly socializing with people from various major forces.

  At this time, I don't know how many eyes fell on Du Fei's body, and there were whispers everywhere.

  "Is that Du Fei of the Du family? I've heard he's the most arrogant person in the city, even surpassing Du Han."

  "It seems that even Zhen also died at his hands, so this time the Lian family won't have any powerful figures to attend the Xuanyou Secret Realm Conference?"

  "It's probably all just hot air, look at this kid's age, what kind of skills could he possibly have? Having a Seventh-Grade Body Tempering is already the limit! With such strength wanting to enter the Mystic Void Realm, isn't that just seeking death?"

  Du Fei's killing of Lian Zhen had already spread beyond the city, but Du Fei's extermination of the Long family's martial artists was unknown for some reason. The major and minor forces within the city all treated it as if nothing had happened.

  So, people from other external forces are actually unclear about this point.

  When they made such remarks, those who had witnessed Du Fei's affair couldn't help but secretly sneer in their hearts.

  If you underestimate this young man, I don't know how many people will be in for a bloody disaster this time.

  As for these rumors, Du Fei remained deaf and still didn't know what he was thinking about. After a moment, he let out a low sigh.

  Du Qian's beautiful eyes gazed at him from one side, and after a moment, she smiled faintly and said, "What are you thinking about?"

  Du Fei's gaze swept around him, and after a moment, he said slowly: "I'm thinking, how many people will be able to walk out of this mysterious and secluded realm alive after today."

  "What's going on? Is our Lord Du Fei going to go all out and start a massacre? If that time comes, you must spare my life, okay?" Du Qian said with a smile, seemingly deep in thought.

  "When that time comes, it's true that you'll let me off." Du Fei patted his hand and spoke slowly.

  He was also extremely wary of Du Qian.

  It wasn't until recently that he found out that this low-key girl was actually the legendary martial arts prodigy, who had already reached the realm of a 9th-grade middle-tier martial artist. Moreover, she was able to grasp any martial skill in just one try, and had basically mastered all sorts of martial skills from the Du family.

  If she wasn't too low-key, Du Han might have been considered the number one person in the Du family all these years.

  For someone like this, I must be careful and on guard!

  If Du Qian were to be dissatisfied with herself and wanted to destroy herself in the Mystic Void Realm, that would be a huge trouble!

  "Hehe, Du Fei's younger brother, Du Qian's younger sister, what are you two talking about? With so many young heroes here, don't you want to get to know them a bit?" Du Han walked back unknowingly, strolled in front of the two, and lightly swung the folding fan in his hand, with a faint smile.

  Du Qian just slightly nodded and didn't say much, seemingly not caring about Du Han at all.

  His action caused a flash of strange color in Du Han's eyes, but he still had a light smile on his face and said nothing.

  Du Fei didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Big brother, everyone present can be considered an opponent... If we get along well with them, they won't show mercy when the time comes. Having a relationship will only make it harder to take action later on, why bother?"

  "Heh heh, you don't understand, do you, younger cousin?" Du Han flicked open his folding fan and gently fanned himself a few times. "Although everyone was an opponent in the Mystic Void Secret Realm this time, what about afterwards? As a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, we Du Clan want to continue standing tall, so it's always good to make friends with a few young heroes... Come on, I'll introduce you two to some people."

  "This is Young Master Bai Yi, but the Bai family has a transcendent status in our city, so I suppose you've never seen him before." Du Han casually pulled someone over and whispered on the street.

  "Is that Young Master Bai?" A faint, imperceptible smile flashed across Du Fei's face. "I've long admired your great name, it's like thunder in my ears. If we were to meet again in the Mystic Void Secret Realm, I'd be grateful if you could take care of me!"

  Bai Yi also had a cold expression, nodding slowly at Du Fei and cupping his hands: "No need to be polite! I'm not as good as the heroes of the Du family in any way. Let's just meet later and please spare me then!"

  After speaking, his gaze swept slightly to the side and fell on Du Qian's body. His eyes lit up slightly as he said: "So this is the legendary Miss Du Qian! I'm honored to meet you today, it's a fortune that spans three lifetimes!"

  Upon hearing this, Du Qian furrowed her brow slightly and nodded subtly after a moment, as if responding with a single word. She then turned to Du Fei and said indifferently, "There are too many people here, I don't like it. Let's go over there instead."

  Upon hearing this, a hint of resentment flashed across Bai Yi's eyes, and then she seemed to gaze deeply at Du Fei before smiling faintly and saying: "Since Miss Du likes quietness, I won't disturb you further. Farewell!"

  After saying that, this white-eyed guy was extremely arrogant, and with a slight flick of his hand, he slowly left.

  Du Han also looked at Du Fei with a strange expression, and smiled: "Sister Du Qian has always been cold to others, I didn't expect her to look at Brother Du Fei in a different way. To be honest, I'm extremely envious!"

  "Haha, Brother Du Han is just joking!" Du Fei also responded with some polite words, but in his heart, he slightly shook his head.

  It seems that I've really run into a peach blossom tragedy because of women, and it appears that I've offended quite a few people! The only difference is that this time it's because of Du Qian, not Xiao Ai.

  "Hehe, since Du Qian doesn't like crowds, I'll just introduce myself casually then."

  "Look over there, that big man in black clothes is Ba Han of the Blood Wolf Gang. He's ruthless and cruel, shows no mercy when he strikes, and has a preference for torturing and killing young girls. He's not someone to be underestimated."

  "That one is Bai Yimen, Xī Yuè. He thinks he's quite the ladies' man and has a big reputation around these parts, but he's ruined the reputations of many young women, earning him many enemies. Still, his abilities are not bad."

  "This is..."
