The real heiress has a super-rich system; it's your turn to fawn over her.

Chapter 225 The Man Underground

Kong Xiangtian held a rare and precious herb in his hand and analyzed it carefully.

He also had doubts about picking the fruit ahead of time, based on what the monk Huikong had said.

This secret realm appeared suddenly; there might be another way to open it.

If those four families have done all the work for someone else, they must find this rat and skin him alive.

But after carefully examining the soil, he found it didn't look like tilled land; the ground was very flat.

Could there be a problem with the family records?

All of this can be attributed to the harvesting robot, which not only handles the harvesting but also the soil filling, making everything seem perfectly normal and leaving no room for suspicion.

Tian Zhenzhen even suspected that these harvesting robots were specially manufactured to steal from homes.

"So what do we do now? We've paid such a high price, are we just going to make a wasted trip?"

Lei Xing was furious. Not only did the experts they had invited feel cheated, but even they themselves began to doubt whether the things left by their ancestors were real.

“Patriarch Lei, since there’s nothing here, why don’t we go and take a look?”

Master Qingyi of Jingyun Temple spoke up.

His words resonated with many, even though they knew the four great families possessed many rare and precious treasures in their secret realms.

But if it's just about picking these things, there's no need to promise them benefits to come over.

The truly good stuff comes from home delivery.

As they spoke, many people's eyes were drawn to the mysterious palace halfway up the mountain.

The four great families only knew about this palace from the records of their ancestors.

This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes.

No one had any objections to going to their homes.

Since there's nothing here at the middle gate, there's no need to waste time.

But once Lu Yuansheng confirmed the location, the people from the four major families became nervous.

The feeling of having one's life controlled at any moment returned, oppressing me once again.

However, they had no choice at all.

They become domesticated goats, at the mercy of others.

If entering the middle gate costs dozens of lives, how many more must be lost at the upper gate?

The four heads of the family are not soft-hearted people who have reached this position; everything they do is for the better development of the family.

Their sacrifice will surely be remembered by the family.

The scene that unfolded so quickly before entering the central gate was repeated here.

Tian Zhenzhen did not stop it, coldly ignoring everything. As she said before, if they themselves didn't care, she, as an outsider, would not interfere.

Perhaps because those who died this time were all innate martial artists with more abundant qi and blood, only a few dozen people died in the end, and the spatial rift at the top was finally opened.

The number of people also decreased significantly.

Any family that loses so many innate martial artists at the same time would definitely suffer a severe loss.

However, the four major families had no way out, and they were determined to enter the door to make up for their losses.

"Damn it, this trip to the secret realm has cost my Lei family so many experts. I must make up for this loss."

Lei Xing looked at his dead clansmen with a pained expression; these were the backbone of the clan.

With so many people dead, if this trip to the secret realm yields no results, it will truly be a significant loss for the Lei family.

Although there are still many high-level players, quite a few problems will arise.

"Lei Xing, don't speak too confidently. Some things may not be suitable for you. Let's rely on our own abilities."

"We, the Lan family, are determined to get our hands on these good things that have come to us, and I believe that you all feel the same way. However, since everyone wants these good things, let's see who has the better skills."

This time, those entering the gate were led in by experts at the Grandmaster level or above.

To reach the level of Grandmaster in terms of physical strength, one must first reach the Grandmaster level.

However, with the protection of the steel aura emanating from the Grandmaster-level expert, even a Xiantian martial artist can enter.

Fortunately, there weren't many people left. A hundred or so people came in, but in the end, only half of them remained.

The reason I didn't bring anyone with me before was that I didn't want to expend my strength, since entering the upper gate was fraught with danger.

Tian Zhenzhen and the others were also led into the upper room.

Upon entering the room, Tian Zhenzhen unleashed her mental energy, while Tian Daqiang simultaneously activated his scanning.

The two were more careful than before, and Daqiang quickly discovered the problem.

“Boss, there are living beings underground, and their physical strength is stronger than that of the Grandmasters I’ve encountered.”

As Tian Daqiang recounted, although the person he had scanned this time was the strongest he had ever encountered, in Tian Daqiang's eyes, they were just a slightly larger ant.

Upon hearing Tian Daqiang's words, Tian Zhenzhen also released her spiritual power to probe downwards.

Sure enough, I saw a tumor-like thing that was vibrating.

She probed further with her spiritual power and saw a rather horrifying scene.

Inside the tumor lay a man, completely naked, with his eyes tightly closed.

If it weren't for the chest still heaving, I would have thought it was a dead person buried here.

Above the man, four jade pendants were floating, and essence blood was continuously seeping out of them.

It all disappeared into the man's mouth and nose.

With each absorption, the man's complexion looked even more radiant.

This bizarre scene left Tian Zhenzhen feeling extremely uneasy.

These jade pendants look familiar; aren't they the same ones that the four family heads are holding?

Could it be that the blood sacrifices of the four family heads were all absorbed by this man here?

Just as Tian Zhenzhen was surprised, the man who had been keeping his eyes closed suddenly opened them.

It was as if Wada Masami and I had locked eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? They gleamed with a hint of bloodlust, and the malice in them seemed to want to devour Tian Zhenzhen.

Tian Zhenzhen was startled by this glance and quickly withdrew her mental energy.

When she withdrew her mental energy, Tian Zhenzhen realized that she was covered in a layer of cold sweat and her breathing had become rapid.

Kong Wei noticed her unusual behavior and immediately asked:

"Miss Tian, ​​are you alright?"

Tian Zhenzhen didn't answer immediately; she was still thinking about those eyes.

Tian Zhenzhen wasn't particularly afraid, but those eyes made her feel very uncomfortable, more like a suppression on a life level, making her feel a little suffocated.

After taking a few deep breaths, Tian Zhenzhen returned to normal.

"I'm fine, but I'm afraid things will happen to everyone here."

This wasn't just something Tian Zhenzhen made up; even when facing these grandmasters, she didn't have that same feeling as before.

She also believed that these grandmasters wouldn't fare much better than she did when facing this person.

However, with Daqiang protecting her, she wasn't worried about her life.

The members of the four major families appeared very alert as soon as they entered, as if there was some kind of threat here.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing unusual happened.

"What's going on? According to the family records, monsters usually appear here."

Could it be that all these demonic beasts have died out over the centuries?

At this moment, Lei Xing no longer believed a single word of what his family had recorded.

The promised vast fields of rare and precious natural resources simply didn't exist.

The supposedly difficult-to-kill monsters were nowhere to be seen.

He seriously doubted whether the place he entered was the same location recorded in the family records.

Otherwise, how could they be completely different?

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhenzhen pursed her lips and kept her achievements and fame hidden.

In a way, she helped them in a roundabout way.

Otherwise, a large number of people here would probably die; those things are not easy to kill.

She's already done them such a big favor, so we can call off the matter of her picking the fruit ahead of time.

"This trip to the Three Gates is full of strange things. I have a very bad feeling. Let's find the altar first."
