At this point, Long Xinyue was completely devastated.

Despair turned into emptiness.

"Your Highness! If you have no objections, I will let my subordinates take action." Clan Leader Zuo Qiu said respectfully.

Fang Yu shook his head and said:

"Don't rush. These people still have some value."

"Yes!"

Regarding Fang Yu's wish, Clan Leader Zuo Qiu dared not defy in the slightest.

Fang Yu stood with his hands behind his back and slowly approached Long Xinyue, speaking in a cold tone: "Get up."

Long Xinyue's mind went blank; she didn't even know what she was thinking. Fang Yu's words jolted her, and she was stunned, without any reaction.

She didn't even move the sword.

Clan Leader Zuo Qiu stomped the ground violently, creating a thundering sound that made the surroundings tremble, chilling to the bone. He shouted: "Deaf ears? His Highness told you to get up!"

Long Xinyue shivered all over, and in a daze, struggled to stand up.

Fang Yu nodded and asked: "How many people are there in the Long Yue Superpower Group?"

Long Xinyue was taken aback.

She didn't know why such a question was asked.

This question made Long Xinyue pause again, and it was during this brief distraction,

that Clan Leader Zuo Qiu's eyes turned cold, and he spoke word by word: "This old man warns you for the last time, answer whatever His Highness asks you, and if there's any lie, I will wipe out your entire clan and leave you wishing for death! Speak——"

Buzz.

A buzzing sound rang in her head, like a sudden revelation, causing Long Xinyue's whole body to shake violently.

This was the kind of pressure that made her find it hard to breathe.

Like someone was choking her neck uncomfortably.

"In total... a total of one hundred thirty-two people." Long Xinyue replied honestly.

"How long has your group been formed?" Fang Yu asked.

"Two, two months... I, I mean, I've been with the group for two months, and before that, they... they had been a group for almost half a year..."

Fang Yu slowly turned, shifting his gaze from Long Xinyue to the ruins.

Looking at the medicinal herbs among the ruins, he said: "These really are good herbs. Have any of you gone inside?"

The members of the Long Yue Superpower Group all shook their heads.

Fang Yu nodded and said: "Lucky for you that you didn't go in... Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how you died... Although the heavenly treasures in the secret realm are very precious, it's definitely not a place for ordinary people. Especially in time-related secret realms, where different times collide and explosions are inevitable."

Picking up a stalk of medicinal grass from the ground, he added: "The spiritual energy in the secret realm is somewhat different from the outside, with a higher purity, filling every corner. It seems wonderful, but for ordinary people with low cultivation, absorbing it is like taking poison, extremely easy to cause a body explosion and death. From the modern medical and nutritional perspective, overnutrition isn't good either... just like eating, there are those who die of starvation, but also those who die from overeating..."

Watching Fang Yu speak so confidently.

Long Xinyue was amazed. When did he learn so much?

Recalling the time back in high school, he was nothing more than a thug who got into fights. Even at the class reunion, Long Xinyue still thought Fang Yu was a proper hooligan, unworthy of the stage.

Years passed.

What exactly happened?

Why even the Clan Leader of the Heavenly Vein Clan, one of the Ten Great Bloodlines, would kneel before him and even call him, Emperor Yu of Tiandu Mountain?

Moreover.

What Fang Yu knew seemed incredibly extensive, beyond her imagination.

...

Clan Leader Zuo Qiu bowed and said: "Your Highness is indeed wise, even understanding time-related secret realms so clearly... I came here to find a secret realm to shelter my clan. The secret realm is expanding, and before long, the explosion will spread across the continent. By that time, only a stable secret realm can avoid disaster."

Fang Yu looked at Clan Leader Zuo Qiu doubtfully and said:

"Did Clan Leader Zuo Qiu discover anything? If you could find it eight thousand years ago, you surely can now."

Clan Leader Zuo Qiu replied awkwardly:

"Your Highness jests... How dare I display my slight skill before Your Highness..."

"Speak... I came here also intending to investigate the secret realm." Fang Yu said calmly.

"Indeed... Time-related secret realms are clearly unsuitable for avoiding disasters, only for cultivation, but without enough Life Extension Pills, going in rashly, it's easy to die inside. Eight thousand years ago, cultivators were everywhere on the continent, but now how many have returned? Not even a ten-thousandth. Moreover, while time-related secret realms aren't fit for habitation, after an explosion, there's often a large number of thousand-year or even ten-thousand-year old herbs appearing. If luck is good, you might encounter fifty-thousand-year, or even a hundred-thousand-year heavenly treasure. Just one is enough to refine supreme elixir pills, and with their assistance, there are immense benefits whether for cultivation or extending life."

Upon hearing this.

Fang Yu couldn't help but be amazed.

Almost forgot, people can spend long periods in the secret realm, so naturally can heavenly treasures.

In this way, there's no need for people to enter the secret realm to obtain supreme herbs.

Fang Yu snapped his fingers and said: "Clan Leader Zuo Qiu, you explained it well! I'll remember it…"

He swept his gaze over the ruins.

There didn't seem to be any decent herbs.

Fang Yu had the Dragon Emperor's memories in his mind, giving him a unique perspective and method for identifying herbs. Just like a car expert discerning luxury cars, with one look, you know what's valuable and what's not.

Gazing over the ruins, Fang Yu was slightly disappointed, sighing: "Seems like there's nothing much discovered either..."

Clan Leader Zuo Qiu also looked at the ruins and said: "It seems like it's a minor-time secret realm, without much value... What a pity."

"Clan Leader Zuo Qiu, your Heavenly Vein Clan is skilled at controlling puppets. For such a small task, why did you come personally instead of letting your subordinates and puppets handle it?" Fang Yu asked in confusion.

Clan Leader Zuo Qiu sighed:

"Reporting to Your Highness, the puppets of the Heavenly Vein Clan all rotted inside the secret realm, eight thousand years is indeed too long, new puppets are being made, currently short on hands, and after returning to the current world, there's much preparation to do. Therefore... I had to come in person."

"So that's how it is..."

Fang Yu nodded and turned to leave.

His gaze passed over Long Xinyue and the Long Yue Superpower Group members.

"Clan Leader Zuo Qiu, your Heavenly Vein Clan just happens to need people, and these folks here wish to join the Heavenly Vein, just take them..."

Upon hearing this.

Clan Leader Zuo Qiu glanced over at those people, nodded, and said: "Your Highness is right, however, their qualifications are insufficient, entering Heavenly Vein they can only be laborers, hoping to become an Outer Disciple is impossible."

"That's your Heavenly Vein Clan's right, I won't meddle... Well, I've been out long enough today, farewell." Fang Yu waved and prepared to leave.

"Your Highness... this woman, this woman... how should she be punished?" Clan Leader Zuo Qiu asked cautiously.

Fang Yu looked over.

Long Xinyue's face was filled with panic, her eyes full of pleading.

They originally intended to join the Heavenly Vein, but hearing from Clan Leader Zuo Qiu, joining meant becoming laborers, wasn't that slavery?

They'd rather die than become slaves!

Hearing Clan Leader Zuo Qiu's words, Long Xinyue was nearly in tears!
