"Why don’t we make the first move?"
The previous shadows reappeared.
Their gazes were filled with dissatisfaction.
"Shut up!"
The shadow at the forefront reprimanded, "Do you understand anything? That boy is not the same as the people we’ve encountered before."
"Different, indeed different. Those people were at least Celestial Realm level, while he is merely in the True Essence Realm. Ha ha ha ha."
The mocking laughter rang out again.
"Have you ever seen a True Essence Realm Martial Artist more powerful than some Celestial Realm Martial Artists?" The shadow turned and glanced at the former speaker.
Upon hearing this, the other shadows fell silent.
That’s right, the Secret Realm is only so big. They’ve been trapped here, with nothing to do. The moment a living person enters, they can sense it.
Therefore, everything Chen Fan did earlier was observed by them.
The former, even in their era, was rare.
"So what?" A woman’s voice echoed, "You still failed. Now even if we make a move, the difficulty will increase significantly."
"Who said I failed?"
The shadow said confidently, "He will come back for me."
That boy, thinks he’s smart.
Little does he know, the Great Vajra Divine Power I told him about has a deadly flaw.
Once cultivated, a demon seed will form in his body. The deeper he cultivates, the stronger the demon seed will become, until one day he will come to me on his own.
Of course, if he doesn’t cultivate it, then naturally nothing will happen.
But with a Supreme-level Martial Art in front of him, can anyone truly remain unmoved?
It doesn’t believe such a person exists in this world.
The shadows exchanged glances.
"Are you so sure? Did you leave some contingency plan?"
"Indeed, I did leave a contingency plan. But don’t expect me to tell you all about it."
The shadow turned to look at its companions, "If I tell you, and you reveal my plan to him to earn his trust, wouldn’t I have wasted all my efforts, only to make you a wedding dress? I’m not that foolish."
After speaking, its body turned into black smoke and dissipated.
"Tch, as if anyone cares to know."
"Couldn’t even handle a junior, truly useless."
"Exactly, I want to see if its contingency plan works."
The shadows spoke one by one, naturally hoping the other wouldn’t succeed.
...
The next morning, Chen Fan returned to Anshan City.
The three-headed Flying Centipede naturally followed him out of the Secret Realm, hiding underground in Anshan City.
The harvest was decent, his Primordial True Essence increased by tens of thousands of points. Apart from that, he acquired many Treasure Medicines that enhanced power, constitution, and other basic attributes.
He didn’t consume them all, saving some to exchange for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhance Primordial True Essence when he goes to Juque City.
He initially wanted to subdue those two Demon Beasts and had successfully weakened them, but his spiritual power was still a bit lacking. Subduing nearly ten Flying Centipedes was already his limit. To subdue more, he would have to release control over some or enhance his spiritual power further.
He dared not release control.
Because aside from the three-headed Flying Centipede beside him, the others were all in Anshan City.
Logically speaking, even if he released control over those Flying Centipedes, they wouldn’t dare disobey previous orders. But one never knows; after consuming numerous Fierce Beasts, they regained their wild nature, and their strength grew considerably.
If they killed people in Anshan City and then fled far away, it wouldn’t be easy for Chen Fan to find them.
So, those three-headed Flying Centipedes had to bear the brunt.
"Thankfully, I can go to Flame Emperor City today and obtain the Observing the Universe Technique."
Chen Fan’s eyes showed a hint of anticipation.
If he cultivated the Observing the Universe Technique, his spiritual power could reach billions. By then, returning to the Secret Realm, he should not be easily influenced by those ghosts.
Perhaps, he could walk boldly in front of them.
Of course, this was just a thought. Truly entering would require at least Celestial Realm strength. If he reached the Divine Cultivation Realm, those ghosts would probably avoid him entirely.
Morning in Anshan City was very peaceful.
