Chapter 52: It Was Really Them!
After Liu Shunyi exited the Wangchuan Secret Realm, he didn’t leave right away.
Since no one knew his real identity, why not enjoy a little fun while he could?
At that moment, Liu Shunyi hid among the crowd, observing the talented disciples participating in the grand competition.
He was specifically on the lookout for anyone worth noting—if someone had a bad character, he’d add them to the Great Dao Golden Roll.
However.
When Liu Shunyi caught sight of the tragic state of the Wangchuan Secret Realm, he was a bit dumbfounded.
“This isn’t right! I left a lot of stuff behind!”
“Could it be the Senior Sister?”
Liu Shunyi scratched his head.
“She’s even more ruthless than I am!”
Just as Liu Shunyi muttered this to himself, a burly man walked by.
“It wasn’t me! I got what I wanted and teleported out right after.”
Liu Shunyi was startled.
“Senior Sister?”
The burly man smiled slightly.
“What do you think about my new divine ability?”
Liu Shunyi secretly gave a thumbs up.
“Senior Sister is amazing!”
Yet, Liu Shunyi remained puzzled.
“If it wasn’t the Senior Sister, then could it really be the Heavenly God Sect that did this?”
Chen Qiaoli shook her head.
“We don’t know yet. But regardless of whether the Heavenly God Sect is behind this fiasco or not, they can’t escape judgement.”
“These sects have long harbored grudges against the Heavenly God Sect. So, regardless of any connection to this Wangchuan Secret Realm incident, they’re out to eliminate them!”
Suddenly.
Chen Qiaoli’s expression turned serious.
“Oh no, there’s going to be a sect-wide conflict! I need to escape quickly!”
At the same time, Chen Qiaoli glanced at Liu Shunyi.
“Since we’re sort of on the same team, let me give you a piece of advice.”
“Even outer disciples need to fight, but just play it cool. Don’t be reckless!”
“There’s an old saying: a gunshot always targets the bird that stands out. With no backing, if we perform too well, we’d just become leftovers!”
With that, Chen Qiaoli vanished.
Liu Shunyi thought for a moment.
He decided to hang around a bit longer.
And maybe, just maybe, find someone to battle with stealthily.
Of course.
If things got too dangerous, he’d just head back and lay low for a while.
After all, he didn’t see his cultivation bottleneck as a true bottleneck.
But since he was here, he might as well hunt some enemies for the leaderboard.
With that thought in mind, Liu Shunyi blended back into the crowd.

Time flew by, and two months passed in an instant.
During these two months, Liu Shunyi witnessed Chen Qiaoli’s incredible power firsthand.
At the same time, he was even more in awe of her sheer good fortune.
The sects hadn’t moved to eliminate the Heavenly God Sect and continued to let their disciples enter the Wangchuan Secret Realm because the core was the Wangchuan Divine Palace.
Compared to the Wangchuan Divine Palace, losing everything outside paled in comparison.
However, the Wangchuan Secret Realm had become dangerously empty now.
So, the talented disciples faced less training before entering the Wangchuan Divine Palace.
This led to a bloodier situation beforehand.
It seemed they were raising a horde.
Only those who survived could enter the Wangchuan Divine Palace.
As for entering the Divine Palace, that was even more brutal.
There were numerous trials.
In fact, some of those trials were downright insane.

Inside a tavern in Jing Shui City, Liu Shunyi watched the projected scenes from the secret realm, shaking his head.
“If this keeps up, when will these people even get to that treasure chest?”
Finally.
After another half a month of waiting, a group of disciples reached the treasure chest.
But the way they opened it left Liu Shunyi stunned.
Their method was completely different from how Chen Qiaoli had done it.
When she first opened the chest, she had cracked the mechanism, and they pressed a button together, breezing it open.
But this group?
They were carrying out rituals and blood sacrifices.
They even combined efforts to set up a blood sacrifice formation.
Good grief.
By the time they’d all bled enough, the chest finally creaked open.
The previously united talented disciples suddenly began to fight fiercely over something resembling an immortal artifact.
Even the surrounding practitioners gasped in shock.
“My heavens, that’s actually an immortal artifact!”
“I can die content now that I’ve seen an immortal artifact in my lifetime!”
Some hidden powerful rogue cultivators were already eyeing it greedily!
Even the artifact caught the attention of various sect elders.
There were even sect masters arriving personally.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”
Countless cultivators came flocking to the scene.
“This is going to get messy!”
Liu Shunyi sensed trouble brewing and slunk away quietly.

Far away from the crowd, Liu Shunyi exclaimed.
“It’s just an immortal artifact, and it’s causing this much bloodshed? If others find out the treasure Senior Sister obtained might be a heavenly treasure, what would happen?”

Liu Shunyi thought to himself, astonished at how Chen Qiaoli managed to dodge those trials and easily opened the treasure chest with just the two of them.
“My Senior Sister is no joke!”
But suddenly.
Liu Shunyi spotted someone.
Ji Suying!
“She didn’t go to the secret realm!”
Liu Shunyi was puzzled.
Of course, he wouldn’t run into Ji Suying.
But she spotted Liu Shunyi.
She just smiled at him without paying him any mind and continued walking away.
Liu Shunyi felt a bit speechless.
“This girl has got some serious eyes! How did she recognize me out of all the people here?”
“Or is my disguise just terrible?”
After thinking for a moment.
Liu Shunyi decided to change his appearance again.
With that in mind, he slipped into a small alley.
But coincidentally enough, he ran into familiar faces again.
Shi Changxin and that little crow.
When Liu Shunyi left the secret realm, he had especially altered his appearance.
These two didn’t recognize him.
In fact, seeing Liu Shunyi without any cultivation made them even less inclined to notice him.
However, two voices echoed in his mind.
“Damn it, the Wangchuan Secret Realm is full of weeds! Are you sure we really robbed the Wangchuan Secret Realm?”
The crow chimed in.
“That was definitely the Wangchuan Secret Realm. But someone moved faster than us and snatched everything first.”
“I don’t care! If there were truly heavenly treasures, then let’s take the risk!”
“But now there’s nothing to gain, and I might even die!”
“Does the Heavenly God Sect have no backup plans?”
The crow reassured him.
“Don’t worry! Members of the Heavenly God Sect have gathered in Jing Shui Gorge. I promise you won’t die; it’s just that this loss in the Wangchuan Secret Realm was too devastating!”
