Just as the three were about to enter the secret realm of ice and fire, a figure walked out from the secret realm, and the three immediately froze, suspended in mid-air not knowing what to do.

They had thought that the secret realm had exposed its entrance due to an accident, but unexpectedly it was opened deliberately.

Lu Yu walked out of the secret realm and was stunned to see the three people at the entrance, surprised that someone would be there to greet him.

Initially wary, he soon sensed that the three harbored no ill intentions, and his inner wariness relaxed somewhat.

After three months of cultivation, he had purged all the radiant power from his body, completing a nirvana from inside to out, greatly enhancing his strength, and breaking through to the Sea of Qi realm to become a Martial Cultivator.

Standing at the entrance of the secret realm, Lu Yu could feel the swift influx of ice and fire Spiritual Power into his body, with his maximum Spiritual Power limit increasing at every moment.

Middle-aged Fan Nanjue was silent for a moment, then stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said, "The three of us are from the Yama Sect, I am Fan Nanjue, he is Lin Qing, and he is Jiang Zhidong."

Young Lin Qing, bald Jiang Zhidong followed suit in saluting, not knowing what Fan Nanjue was planning, yet the operation was a confidential mission of the Yama Sect, with Fan Nanjue as the lead.

Fan Nanjue seemed disinclined to fight, so they followed in saluting.

After listening to him, Lu Yu casually clasped his fists in return and said, "I am Lu Yu."

"Lu Yu?" Fan Nanjue's heart skipped a beat, the name was well-known three months ago, causing a stir in An Nan City, and due to the Sect Leader's orders, the disciples of the Yama Sect did not partake in the matter.

Moreover, it was rumored that Lu Yu had a very powerful figure backing him, yet this remained unconfirmed. But judging from Yang Annan's attitude toward Lu Yu, the rumor wasn't entirely false.

Fan Nanjue was troubled, suggesting that this secret realm might actually belong to the Divine Weapon Pavilion?

He felt a bit unwilling and tentatively asked, "Did Lu Daoist open this secret realm?"

"Yes, is there a problem?" Lu Yu, seeing that there was no way to conceal this matter, simply admitted it.

Fan Nanjue's heart leaped with joy, if Lu Yu was the only one who opened it, there was a chance that it wasn't a realm controlled by the Divine Weapon Pavilion, or at least it hadn't been incorporated into their collection.

If the secret realm had been occupied by the Divine Weapon Pavilion, there would be no need for Lu Yu to open its entrance.

"Could Lu Daoist close this secret realm?" Fan Nanjue asked promptly.

Lu Yu found it odd that he was asking these questions and said, "I'll give it a try."

Upon opening the secret realm, Lu Yu had already established a connection with it, and he followed this connection to control the closure of its entrance.

"It looks like I can. Why are you asking these questions?"

The entrance to the secret realm behind Lu Yu was gradually closing, the clear scene becoming blurry.

Fan Nanjue rejoiced as Lu Yu opened the secret realm and was its controller, indicating it had not yet come under the control of the Divine Weapon Pavilion; it was Lu Yu's personal secret realm.

A personal secret realm belonging to Lu Yu meant it could potentially become the property of the Yama Sect. After estimating the consequences and success rate of taking action against Lu Yu, Fan Nanjue decided not to make a move.

Lu Yu's strength held great uncertainty, and he also possessed the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower. Even combined efforts of the three couldn't breach it, making the fight fruitless from the start.

After thinking things through, Fan Nanjue quickly said, "Lu Daoist, I am here, representing the Yama Sect, to sincerely invite you for a visit. Our Sect Leader wishes to meet you."

"Hmm?" Lu Yu was puzzled. No matter how the Yama Sect was described, it was a top-tier force, with its sect leader being one of the top-ranking experts in the martial world. Someone like that wanting to see him, Lu Yu found it hard to believe such a lame excuse.

He frowned, somewhat impatiently saying, "Speak straightforwardly. Don't go around in circles like this; I have no patience for playing riddles with you."

Lin Qing was taken aback by these words, feeling Lu Yu was somewhat arrogant to use such a tone with them.

Jiang Zhidong also frowned, feeling Lu Yu's attitude had issues, but he remained silent.

Fan Nanjue didn't give it much thought; he was the only one among the three who understood what "Lu Yu" represented. After listening to Lu Yu's words, he said, "Things started three months ago..."

After explaining the whole story of their visit, Fan Nanjue cautiously said, "The Yama Sect wants to make a deal with Lu Daoist, with the trade being the control over this realm."

"The Yama Sect wants this realm?" Lu Yu stared at Fan Nanjue, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Fan Nanjue felt tense, swallowed hard, and said, "Yes, and I wonder if Lu Daoist would be willing. This realm is extremely important to the Yama Sect, and the terms offered by our sect would surely satisfy Daoist."

Lu Yu's gaze relaxed, saying, "Actually, it's not impossible..."

"If so, hurry and negotiate with our Sect Leader." Suddenly a black-faced, black-cloaked elder appeared, "Stop dawdling; I've been waiting impatiently; this is tiresome!"

Fan Nanjue showed a helpless look and clasped his hands in salute, "Greetings, Elder Hei."

Lin Qing and Jiang Zhidong, seeing Elder Hei's sudden appearance, were dumbfounded. They had no idea an elder had accompanied them, particularly the Yama Sect's formidable Disciplinary Hall Elder Hei.

Seeing Fan Nanjue's actions, they came to their senses, hurriedly saluting, "Greetings, Elder Hei."

Elder Hei paid no heed to their courtesy, eyeing Lu Yu critically, "Tsk tsk, indeed not bad. My grandson Hei Yan participated with you in the Divine Soldier Pavilion's secret realm trials. He's still fussing at the ninth level of the Qi Control realm, while you've already broken through to the Sea of Qi realm. Quite impressive."
