Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Mysterious Secret Realm?Twenty-seventh Update? Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Mysterious Secret Realm?Twenty-seventh Update? Nangong Feng was the typical type who asked for trouble. Facing someone who couldn’t spit out anything good, Li Xiaoyao felt that if he didn’t teach him a harsh lesson, he would be letting himself down.

“Nangong Feng, what are you doing?” Nangong Tuo appeared at some point and stood not far away, angrily reprimanding Nangong Feng, who had a sly grin on his face.

Upon hearing the voice, Nangong Feng turned his head, saw it was the Fourth Elder, and let out a contemptuous snort. “I’m not doing anything, just giving some counsel to sister Ling’er, as she has gone astray,” he said.

“I don’t need you pointing fingers or telling me what to do, I despise people like you who are so full of yourself,” said Nangong Ling’er, her face full of anger.

Nangong Feng’s face turned red with embarrassment as he was rebuked by Nangong Ling’er on the spot, and all his anger was turned towards Li Xiaoyao.

“Li Xiaoyao, I now formally challenge you. If you’re a man, step forward.”

“Nangong Feng, get back!” Seeing him become more and more outrageous, Nangong Tuo couldn’t help but yell at him.

...

No matter how strong or weak Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level was, he was the eldest young master of the Li family. Just by that status alone, it was already damaging to the Nangong Family’s honor for Nangong Feng to be so disrespectful to him.

If this news were to spread, others would only think there was a problem with the quality of the Nangong Family’s clan members.

Yet Li Xiaoyao remained unusually calm, “You want to challenge me? Fine, I accept.”

Nangong Tuo became somewhat anxious immediately. Nangong Feng judged Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level only by the surface aura he emitted but Nangong Tuo knew that Li Xiaoyao’s true strength was far from what was shown on the surface.

Poor Nangong Feng was clueless, thinking Li Xiaoyao was just a Cultivator who had barely entered the Qi Refining stage. How laughable.

“Young Master Li, please don’t stoop to his level.” Nangong Tuo scolded Nangong Feng again, “Aren’t you going to apologize to Young Master Li?”

“Fourth Elder, you heard it too, I challenged him, and he accepted,” Nangong Feng spread his hands, feigning innocence, then a smile formed at the corner of his mouth. “But today, I’ll give Fourth Elder some face and won’t embarrass you here. After you finish your current business, we can choose a place to have a proper exchange of skills,” he said.

After speaking, Nangong Feng turned and walked away.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, “Very well, as you wish.”

Nangong Feng left with his head held high, while Nangong Tuo’s face showed anger, and yet, he shook his head with a sigh of helplessness.

Li Xiaoyao knew he was worried that an incident with Nangong Feng could affect the relationship between the Li Family and the Nangong Family, so he said, “Elder Nangong Tuo, don’t worry, I won’t take his life.”

Nangong Tuo gave a wry smile, “Then I thank Young Master Li.”

“You’re welcome. Elder Nangong was willing to lend me a helping hand when I was in danger, for which I am deeply grateful. I also owe the Nangong Family a favor. If the Nangong Family ever needs assistance in the future, I, Li Xiaoyao, will not shirk my duties,” Li Xiaoyao immediately made his stance clear.

Nangong Tuo may have only been the Fourth Elder, but he was representing the entire Nangong Family, so Li Xiaoyao’s words were appropriate to him.

“Young Master Li is too polite,” Nangong Tuo said with a smile on his face, yet his heart was filled with joy.

Whether Li Xiaoyao’s words represented him personally or the entire Li Family, it was good news for the Nangong Family.

“Young Master Li, you asked to meet with me, may I ask what for?” Nangong Tuo took a seat nearby and asked softly.

Li Xiaoyao got straight to the point and asked, “Elder Nangong Tuo, do you know what exactly the Hui Country Secret Realm is?”

Nangong Tuo was silent for a few seconds, his eyes showing no emotion.

After Li Xiaoyao asked the question, he did not hurry him, waiting quietly instead.

Nangong Ling’er also looked on curiously, waiting for Nangong Tuo’s answer.

“Up to now, no one knows exactly what’s in the Hui Country Secret Realm, but what’s certain is that there is a powerful Demon Beast down there.”

Li Xiaoyao nodded, this answer was nearly identical to the one given by Elder Li Yiming. It seemed that even the Eight Great Sects of Xuan Country had very limited information.

“How was this Hui Country Secret Realm discovered?” Li Xiaoyao had left the Li Family in a hurry today and had not asked many questions.

As Nangong Tuo held a significant position within the Nangong Family, he likely knew some information about this.

“Several months ago, a cruise ship sank in the Mediterranean, and at first, it didn’t attract the attention of Cultivators. But over the following month, eight cruise ships sank in the Mediterranean.”

“At that point, someone finally noticed something unusual and went to investigate. They found that all nine sunken cruise ships were between the straits of Potamos and Heracleion. That strait is called the Kira Strait.”

“That person asked the local fishermen and learned that the strait had another name, the ‘Sea of Death.'”

“According to legend, not a single large cruise ship or fishing vessel has ever safely crossed that channel.”

“That channel has seen countless cruise ships and fishing boats sink.”

“The person stayed locally for a while, continuously observing through a telescope, and when another cruise ship passed through the strait, he witnessed a horrifying sight.”

“The sea was calm one second, and the next, fierce winds howled, and a huge whirlpool appeared out of nowhere, swallowing the cruise ship.”

From Nangong Tuo’s account, Li Xiaoyao was shocked, and Nangong Ling’er already had her lips slightly parted in disbelief.

This world, indeed, is full of wonders.

Even powerful Cultivators, faced with such a situation, would probably struggle to escape unscathed.

“So how did this news get out?” Li Xiaoyao was very curious about this.

Nangong Tuo said, “That person sold the news.”

“Sold it?”

“Yes.” Nangong Tuo nodded, saying, “At first, a force in Hui Country believed that beneath this marine area, there must be the grave of a powerful Spirit Attacher, so they dived into the sea bottom to investigate.”

“Unfortunately, none of the Spirit Attachers who went down came back alive.”

“Were there any photos released? They should have brought cameras and such for diving into the sea, right?”

Nangong Tuo shook his head: “Nothing, there was nothing. They carried the most professional equipment on them, but once they dived into the sea, all electronic equipment stopped working. It was as if it all broke.”

“So mysterious?” Even though Li Xiaoyao was well-traveled and knowledgeable, he found his brain struggling to keep up at this moment.

What exactly is hidden beneath that marine area?

An ancient leviathan?

Or the grave of a powerful Cultivator?

Li Xiaoyao felt the former was less likely, because if it were an ancient leviathan, how could it never show itself?

Even with Earth’s numerous and powerful Cultivators, if even the Eight Great Sects couldn’t handle an ancient leviathan, wouldn’t it dare to show itself at least once?
