Chapter 616 620: Our Guan Family Knows of an Ancient Secret Realm

"Junze, everything else is negotiable, but sending you back to the Nether Sea... in this matter, this old man truly cannot help!"After a banquet, the relationship between the Guan family and Wang Junze seemed to have suddenly become closer. The Guan Family Patriarch even acted as if from then on Wang Junze was a junior member of their family. Yet when it came to the core interests, the true nature was quickly revealed.

No matter how pleasant the words sounded, in reality, the Guan family still dared not easily get involved in the conflict with the Four Great Celestial Sects.

With a sneer in his heart, on the surface, Wang Junze still did not reveal his identity, but instead, he smiled and asked back, "Mr. Guan, what does this mean? If I cannot successfully return to the Nether Sea, doesn't that render everything we discussed previously meaningless?"

"Of course, I understand what this means, but... alas, this old man also has difficulties!"

With a sigh, the Guan Family Patriarch continued, "Although the Guan family seems powerful, in reality, we still have to be governed by the Court. There are many matters we cannot involve ourselves in beyond the Nine Prefectures of Longxi!"

"Moreover, you just severed Qin'er's fleshly body, and it will be difficult to recover in a short time... and my Guan family, aside from him, only has this old man in the Saint Realm. We surely can't have this old man accompany you back to the Nether Sea, can we?"

Wang Junze didn't believe a single word of it.

For the Guan family, this Guan Family Patriarch is the true pillar. If they really wish to oppose the Four Great Celestial Sects, only this Guan Family Patriarch can compel them to give way.

Clearly the most top-tier Saint Realm Powerhouse, yet acting old and feigning weakness, is truly somewhat laughable.

However, Wang Junze couldn't just pierce through the facade. He smiled and then replied, "Mr. Guan, you're right, I'm just a junior, how dare I trouble an elder like you. But... it doesn't have to be so troublesome. Doesn't the Guan family want to establish a presence in the Nether Sea? Simple, those who wish to go to the Nether Sea can just go with me this time."

This statement made the Guan Family Patriarch hesitate slightly.

The Guan family's request was to replace the Profound Moon Sword Sect, dividing the Nether Sea, so sending people into the Nether Sea would definitely not be in small numbers. Among them, many must be the Guan family's direct descendants.

If these people went with Wang Junze, and people from the Four Great Celestial Sects attacked, could the Guan family ignore it?

Of course, the Guan Family Patriarch could still find excuses, but to continue fabricating reasons would indeed be unseemly.

After pondering slightly, the Guan Family Patriarch slowly spoke, "Junze, this old man will not circle around with you anymore. This matter... the Guan family cannot be involved."

"The will of the Saint cannot be defied, the Guan family cannot lose the favor of the Saint."

"However, this old man can share a piece of news with you, the Four Symbols Sect has already sent experts. As soon as you leave the Nine Prefectures of Longxi, they will act." After a pause, the Guan Family Patriarch continued, "Once you surpass the Four Symbols Sect, there will be no more obstacles on this journey."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Wang Junze stared at the Guan Family Patriarch with a faint smile and said, "Then... what can the Guan family do for me?"

"Mr. Guan, you are an elder, but in this world, there's no such thing as taking advantage without any cost, right? What do you say?"

This statement from Wang Junze was quite blunt.

The Guan family didn't want to help with anything, yet still wanted to establish a presence in the Nether Sea. Were they treating people as fools?

"The Guan family knows of an Ancient Secret Realm!"

The Guan Family Patriarch suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

With a slight leap in his heart, Wang Junze's gaze fell on the Guan Family Patriarch, waiting for an explanation.

"You previously faced off against Guan Qin, and I suppose you noticed he cultivates the Path of Thunder. He has entered the Path within an Ancient Secret Realm." The Guan Family Patriarch continued, "This old man can tell you the entrance to this Ancient Secret Realm."

"Now that you've just Entered the Path and your foundation is unstable, within this Secret Realm there's the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, which can help you refine your Divine Soul and further your cultivation!"

"Of course, within this Ancient Secret Realm, there are significant dangers. Even Saint Realm Powerhouses have a chance of falling... whether you dare to go is up to you."

"This is the sincerity the Guan family can offer."

The Ancient Secret Realm!

Wang Junze had entered the Ancient Secret Realm before, so he naturally understood the immense value such a realm holds.

No wonder the Guan family could firmly occupy the Nine Prefectures of Longxi, preventing both the Four Great Celestial Sects and the Court from interfering. This Secret Realm is the foundation of the Guan family's existence.

Now, the Guan family is willing to open this Ancient Secret Realm to him, truly showing great sincerity.

If he could once again enhance his cultivation within this Ancient Secret Realm, facing the Four Symbols Sect would naturally give him more confidence.

Moreover, compared to relying on others for support, one's own strength is always the root of everything.

At this thought, Wang Junze felt moved.

"In that case, thank you, Mr. Guan!"

After pondering briefly, Wang Junze immediately agreed.

"Haha, good, then it's settled!"

Nodding, the Guan Family Patriarch smiled, "Rest here for two days, this old man will personally take you into the Secret Realm."

After the important matters were settled, Wang Junze was soon escorted away by the Guan family members to rest.

After Wang Junze left, a member of the Guan family couldn't help but speak out, "Patriarch, should we really let him into the Secret Realm? You know well that within that realm there is..."

Waving his hand, the Guan Family Patriarch stopped the person from speaking and calmly replied, "The opportunity, this old man has given him. Whether he can seize it or not is his own affair, what does it have to do with this old man?"

"But if he dies in the Secret Realm..."

"Then he just dies!"

With a cold snort, the Guan Family Patriarch indifferently said, "He brought it upon himself, didn't this old man warn him that there are dangers in the Secret Realm? This old man never said that this Secret Realm belongs to the Guan family, did he?"

"..."

At this, the few people finally recalled that the Patriarch had only said the Guan family knows of a Secret Realm, not that it was the Guan family's Secret Realm; merely a few words of difference, but the meaning is completely different.

"If he hadn't been so presumptuous, expecting my Guan family to protect him from the pursuit of the Four Great Celestial Sects, why would this old man use such a last resort?"

"And about the Nether Sea..."

"Fools! Don't be so shortsighted. If he truly dies in the Secret Realm, and the Nether Sea is left without a master, wouldn't the Guan family send people to seize it?"

"We're not the ones who killed him; by then, no matter what, no one can blame the Guan family."

"Understood!"

"Leave now, make sure to treat him well these two days with good food and drink, without exposing anything."

"As long as he enters the Secret Realm, regardless of life or death... it only benefits the Guan family without any harm. Do you understand?"

"Patriarch, how wise!"
