Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 471: Wonders Never Cease

If Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian can’t make it back in time before their wedding, their secret expedition to the Secret Realm will surely be exposed.

And Xia Mian disappeared in his domain; knowing the Divine Master, he wouldn’t forgive him!

Xia Weizhang sighed; if the auction house didn’t need him to hold fort, he would have liked to go along with Xia Mian.

At some point, Ding Cheng came to Xia Weizhang’s side and said gently, "Don’t overthink it. You’ve known Miss Xia for so long; when has she ever failed on a mission?"

Xia Weizhang gazed deeply in the direction where Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan’s figures vanished. "When a tree stands tall in the forest, the wind must destroy it..."

Xia Mian is indeed outstanding and dazzling; since she appeared in the Mystical World, she showed strength beyond ordinary cultivators.

Though she suppressed many with high pressure, there were always those who were dissatisfied and wanted to bring her down, to make her disappear.

Ding Cheng’s expression shifted slightly, and she lightly pursed her lips, "Those who intend to harm Miss Xia are like ants trying to shake a tree."

After witnessing Xia Mian’s methods, Ding Cheng was thoroughly convinced.

In this world, she could provoke anyone but Xia Mian.

To Xia Mian, ordinary cultivators were no different from ants.

Xia Mian chose to ignore those cultivators with ulterior motives, merely considering it beneath her dignity to stomp on an ant.

Xia Weizhang didn’t say anything further this time.

Having followed Xia Mian for so long, Xia Weizhang had an unexplainable confidence in her.

While Xia Weizhang and Ding Cheng were anxious, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan promptly arrived at the Secret Realm Xia Weizhang mentioned.

To save time, they used the Space-Time Gate directly.

Standing before the Secret Realm now, Xia Mian watched the misting cliff ahead and gently furrowed her brow.

The mist below the cliff floated incessantly with the wind, forming a vortex.

The vortex seemed near yet impossibly distant.

Xia Mian lightly furrowed her brow, pulling out the Jade Pendant Fragment given by Xia Weizhang.

With Xia Mian producing the Jade Pendant Fragment, the vortex seemed to spin faster.

Xia Mian lightly moved her lips, "Could this vortex be the entrance to the Secret Realm?"

Lu Zechuan stood with his hands behind him, glanced at the sky far away.

The sun rose; sunlight bathed the earth—a majestic view.

"We’ll know after we try." Lu Zechuan said softly.

They didn’t have much time left.

Xia Mian nodded. She infused her aura into the Jade Pendant Fragment and threw it towards the vortex.

As long as the fragment carried her aura, even if the vortex wasn’t the entrance, she could retrieve the key again.

Just as this thought surfaced, the Jade Pendant Fragment touched the vortex, erupting like hot oil meeting water. Mist rippled and slowly retreated!

Beneath the mist unfolded a vague expanse of mountains and meadows, vibrant greenery filling the view.

Xia Mian squinted her eyes tightly, "Let’s go!"

Lu Zechuan didn’t hesitate, taking Xia Mian’s hand and diving towards the newly revealed mountains and meadows!

As their figures plunged into the scene, the retreating mist converged again, forming a massive vortex below the cliff, gathering and dispersing like a beast chomping on food.

When Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan opened their eyes again, they were standing in that meadow.

Mountains rolled endlessly; grass met the sky.

Abundant foliage enveloped them.

Xia Mian slowly pursed her lips, gently squinting her eyes, sensing the soul stones on the Divine Clan Guards.

Fortunately, though the soul stones’ power waves from the other side were faint, Xia Mian sensed them.

"Over there!" Xia Mian pointed towards the northwest.

Lu Zechuan glanced up; towering ancient woods loomed in the northwest, exuding mystery.

He lacked experience in entering Secret Realms, couldn’t tell whether these seemingly normal scenes would subtly change with their intervention.

But there was no time to ponder.

They moved swiftly towards the ancient forest in the northwest.

Their speed was fast; within ten breaths, they reached the edge of the ancient woods.

Yet before the towering trees, neither of them advanced.

The trees looked too eerie!

Who has ever seen tree trunks with facial features?

This ancient forest was just that!

Every tree trunk had eyes, nose, mouth...

On the outermost row of trees, all eyes were fixated unsettlingly on Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.

Even Xia Mian, who was bold, felt her scalp tingling.

"Have these trees become sentient?" Xia Mian’s lips curled.

Lu Zechuan’s dark eyes were deep, "Not yet."

As Wood Clan’s Young Master, inheriting the Wood Clan Leader’s legacy, Lu Zechuan was somewhat familiar with such situations.

These trees hadn’t become sentient but had merged with their surroundings.

Stepping into this forest was like stepping into the belly of these trees.

Listening to Lu Zechuan, Xia Mian fell silent.

She sensed the soul stones of the Divine Clan guards again, just ahead.

Though nearer, their soul stones’ aura grew faint.

"They are in danger," Xia Mian said seriously, "We must enter now."

Lu Zechuan nodded, his dark eyes landing on the eerie trees, "Then let’s go in."

Lu Zechuan practiced the Wood Clan’s Cultivation Technique; in this verdant domain, how could these beings, easily controlled by him, bully him?

Lu Zechuan took Xia Mian’s hand, and they stepped into the ancient woods, watched by strange eyes.

As they entered the ancient forest, it was like stepping into a beast’s mouth; the ground became soft, almost swallowing their feet.

Xia Mian frowned; not scared, but disgusted.

Lu Zechuan’s brow furrowed too; with a slight movement of his fingers, a green light flashed by.

As the green light appeared, the soft feeling beneath their feet faded, replaced by solidity.

Xia Mian walked ahead; the soul stones of the Divine Clan guards dimmed further.

They faced danger, nearing a bad end.

With soul stones’ position in mind, Xia Mian quickened her pace, finally seeing this group on a clearing.

But at that moment, their situation was dire.
