The villain's daily corpse collection

The day of the secret realm arrived in the blink of an eye.

To avoid unexpected incidents, Wang Wei secretly told Hun Dun to pick him up outside the Secret Realm at any time, and to look for artifacts around the Secret Realm when he was free - no matter what artifact it was, he would collect it first. Hun Dun accepted the task. After all, as a puppy in the mortal world, it was normal for him to run away anywhere.

As a matchmaker, Du Ximiao naturally had to go to the Xuanxintai temporarily built near the secret realm to see off his team, and also to show the beautiful picture of harmonious coexistence and mutual support between the imperial family and the Xuanmen monks.

Although she wanted to roll her eyes at this, even if she didn't want to see those brothers and sisters, she had to send Wang Wei and Huo Feng off. After all, they were very important people to her, and she had to do it so that she would have a chance to reach that position in the future.

She appeared respectful on the surface and still had some awe in her heart, but she still wanted to verify this choice.

She originally wanted to reveal the secret realm to the master and apprentice to test their strength. Wang Wei's initiative to mention going to the secret realm was beyond her expectations, but it was also the scene she was looking forward to seeing. Du Ximiao wanted to know whether this god was really capable, at least she would know something after entering the secret realm.

Wang Wei had already seen through her little thoughts, but she didn't care much about this harmless mentality. If a mortal is wary of God instead of blindly trusting him, it means that he still has his own ideas and judgments. Only if he is not a fool can he survive in this environment.

Xuanxin Terrace was built in a dense forest on the back mountain of the palace. At this time, all the people had already taken their positions. The head of Lin'an Palace, the chief steward of the An family, and the elders of the clan came out to mobilize them before entering the secret realm.

Wang Wei's group of four people and one dog also arrived at the designated location one after another. Du Ximiao was also a little surprised when she saw the dog, but no one would refuse a cute and harmless little animal, so she didn't ask much, just thought the little dog looked very unique.

Hun Dun broke free from Huo Feng's embrace and went into the woods nearby. Huo Feng wanted to chase him, but Wang Wei grabbed him.

"Xiaobai likes to walk around, so leave him alone and let him wait for us to come out." Wang Wei looked at Hun Dun's receding figure, "I just heard from them that the time for this secret realm is known. It is estimated that it will take more than half a month inside, but only twelve hours outside."

"We only need to camp here for a day and a night, and then we can welcome your triumphant return." Du Ximiao continued.

Wang Wei smiled and said nothing, then turned around and went with Huo Feng to the approximate location of the secret realm gate marked by the road sign. The first wave of teams entering the secret realm were all ready there.

Wang Wei is observing this group of people from various forces, trying to determine who will pose the greatest threat to her in the next half month. She needs to make plans early, whether to kill them or win them over.

A total of thirteen people entered the secret realm this time, and four imperial sons and daughters were involved behind the scenes.

The eldest prince Du He and the seventh princess Du Ximiao reached an alliance. Four people can enter each group. In addition to Wang Wei and Huo Feng, the remaining two are the twin brothers, Xue Bo and Xue Ji.

These two people... Wang is not easy to judge. At present, it is known that they have a good relationship with the King of Xian. It seems that they have an exchange of interests. We can only spend more time with them. Moreover, the fact that they are twins is enough to make her feel uncomfortable for a long time.

The team of the second prince, Du Lian, consisted of a man and a woman. The male cultivator had no special features. He wore a wide blue robe and did not belong to any sect. He was probably a casual cultivator. The female cultivator beside him... Wang Wei remembered that she was very close to the prince of Qing last time in Lin'an Palace. She almost followed him wherever he went, which formed a sharp contrast with the male cultivator.

Wang Wei speculated that the relationship between this female monk and the rumored cowardly King Qing was not simple, or at least they were acquaintances. There were also a few people standing behind them, also wearing Taoist robes, and no one knew who they were.

The team of the fifth elder Wan Yu Emperor Ji Du Yunyi indeed contained two female cultivators whom she had met before. One of them was still wearing a veil as usual and could not see anyone. The others could not be seen for the time being. Wang Wei decided to keep an eye on the female cultivator wearing a veil. This time, Wang Wei still wore the silver-white mask from last time, so when she saw the disguise, she naturally understood that there were secrets hidden under the mask.

This list also included several people from the Yangyue An Clan and the two major sects. Wang Wei recognized their uniform Taoist uniforms, as they had met each other before in Tianzhou.

The man in the gold-colored Taoist robe came from Congshan Sect. There were two disciples in total, one male and one female. They looked like they belonged to a famous and upright family, but there was nothing special about them.

The dark-black Taoist robes were from Lin'an Palace and Yangyue An Clan, a total of three people. The identities of the two middle-aged men were unknown, and their faces were unfamiliar, but the golden scales embroidered on their robes at least showed that their status was not low. The remaining woman really surprised Du Ximiao for a moment.

Isn't this person the Miss An Wanshan, who was the new heir of the An family but actually a scapegoat? How could she, a mere mortal, enter the secret realm in person?

Doubts filled Du Ximiao's head. She once thought that she had seen it wrong. She pulled Yuan Xiang to confirm again and again, and it was indeed her.

Thinking back to the day they first met, An Wanshan was hiding from the crowd in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in her mansion, and was always submissive when talking to her. The last time they met in Prince An's mansion, she was just a young lady from a noble family who was very respectful to her. How could she dare to enter the secret place alone now?

Wang Wei also found something wrong. She vaguely remembered that this person had met her in the ancestral hall of Prince An's Mansion. Although it was only for a moment, she could conclude that this person was far from the An Wanshan described by Du Ximiao. Other people's descriptions were only for reference. She still had to discover it herself.

The head of Lin'an Palace stood in front of everyone. He silently chanted an incantation, and a magic weapon in his hand emitted a faint glow. Then a beam of light flew out of the magic weapon and landed in the air in front of everyone, creating ripples like water ripples.

Wang Wei transmitted the message to Huo Feng: "He has a divine weapon in his hand, which can be regarded as the key to open the door to the secret realm. Unfortunately, it is not what we are looking for."

Huo Feng looked at the magic weapon in his hand and felt that it looked familiar. He recalled carefully that it seemed to be a key commonly used by the Heavenly Court, which could open all the doors in the four realms. What god had brought it to open the secret realm to the mortal world, and what was his intention?

After some manipulation, the secret door began to take shape. The head of the sect chanted the incantation again, and the magic weapon turned into a talisman and was imprinted on the door, and then disappeared. The door slowly opened, and what caught the eye was a "water" mirror like a lake standing upright in front of him. Through this "water" mirror, you can officially enter the secret realm.

This artifact is a one-time use, just to break the door? Wang Wei sneered, and the monks in the team next to her couldn't help but look at her twice.

This "water" mirror reflects everyone standing in front of the door, but you can't see what's under the water. Standing at the door for a long time, it always feels like there's an abyss inside, unfathomable, and makes people fall into a trance for a while. Moreover, it seems that there are unknown living creatures hidden at the bottom of this vertical lake... Every time they move, the "water" mirror will vibrate for a while.

What you can't see is the scariest, especially the sect leader who opened the door to the secret realm. He looked at the strange door and shook his head slightly. He whispered to himself, "This shouldn't be the case. The previous door didn't seem to look like this... What went wrong?" Although the voice was very small, Wang Wei heard it clearly. She had been staring at her surroundings intently, worried about unexpected accidents.

"The door is open, aren't you going in?" a disciple from the Lin'an Palace urged.

Someone was whispering nearby: "What exactly is behind this door? Will it be dangerous if we go straight through it?"

Someone on the other side replied, "The secret realm is a place where God has hidden treasures. As we all know, where there are treasures there are certain risks. Opportunities and risks coexist."

Having said that, the door had been open for a long time and no one dared to go in.

Huo Feng looked around, he wanted to test it first, but was stopped by Wang Wei. Wang Wei said in a voice transmission: "You are stupid, now is not the time for you to show off your strength, how much of your magic power has been restored now, do you know what is inside?"

Huo Feng seemed to be a little hesitant: "Master, it's not a good idea to just stay here like this. Someone has to take the first step."

Wang Wei turned to look at him, and after a few moments of silence, he said, "Are you still thinking of settling everything by dying? I can tell you clearly that this won't work."

"...I, I don't think so." Huo Feng defended in a low voice and retreated to Wang Wei's side.

A male monk in casual clothes looked around, mocking everyone for being so cowardly to grab a spot, picked up a stone and threw it in. After a while, the stone flew out and hit the "culprit" male monk accurately. The man's head was instantly split open, and he screamed in pain. Several disciples from Lin'an Palace came to take the man away for treatment.

Everyone was in a stalemate, and the head of Lin'an Palace finally did not hide anything. He told the truth: "Everyone, listen to me. This time the secret realm seems to be different from the last time, and the way to enter the secret realm seems to be different from the past. The previous gate was not complicated, and you can see the scene in the secret realm by standing outside. I don't know why this time... If you have other plans, it's not too late to make a choice now."

Another independent cultivator has set off. He is the one who lost the competition for the quota and is here as a substitute member. He is also a subordinate of King Qing.

Now that no one was moving, he suggested to King Qing Du Lian that he go explore the way first, and if he could enter, he would be given the place. King Qing did not refuse, and he walked straight forward to the "water" mirror door.

He first tried it with his hand, and the "water" mirror immediately became turbulent. He gritted his teeth and put his whole body into it. The water surface was rippled, and the next moment the water gate seemed to have turned into an oil pan, and the "water" inside turned into hot oil.

Everyone could clearly hear that the cultivator was being fried in a pan... From inside the door, they could vaguely hear the cultivator's loud screams of pain. He used all his strength to escape from the strange door. Everyone stared at him and saw that his exposed skin had turned brown and smelled of oil.

What does this door mean? Is this the real secret realm selection?

The head of Lin'an Palace treated the casual cultivator's injuries, and Chief Steward An also stepped forward and asked what had just happened.

The man seemed to be frightened silly, speaking incoherently. One could only vaguely hear "Evil, evil, so evil! So horrible, so horrible!" Then he kicked his legs and fainted.

All the practitioners were speechless for a while.

Wang Wei felt that there was a familiar aura around that person, which reminded her for a moment of the black shadow she met in Fang Qiu.

After rolling around in the frying pan, she couldn't tell if there was still a shadow on him, but her intuition told her that it was probably the same thing. Using her five senses to judge a relatively special aura, she would never go wrong.

Finally, the two female monks in Wanyu Emperor Ji Du Yunyi's team couldn't stand it anymore. They looked at each other and walked straight to the door regardless of others' obstruction. The two seemed to have discussed it beforehand. They held each other's arms tightly and promised that no matter what they faced after entering, they would face it together.

Then, they stepped into the "water" mirror. Ripples appeared on the mirror surface, and soon returned to calm.

……

Nothing seemed to be happening.

"It looks like everything is fine." Wang Wei shrugged and sighed, then pulled Huo Feng towards the "water" mirror. Huo Feng was curious about how Wang Wei judged that they could enter the door. Someone at the side also asked in confusion, "How do you know they didn't die in there?"

"Maybe it's because he looks kind but has a good heart?" Wang Wei turned around and smiled at the man, "I think that sect will repel those with bad intentions. So, be careful. Otherwise, you might end up like that casual cultivator and become a snack."

All the monks: "..."

The two stood in front of the "water" mirror, and Wang Wei looked at Huo Feng: "Do you believe me?"

Huo Feng did not hesitate: "Of course, if Master says I can get in, then I can definitely get in. Whether it's climbing a mountain of knives or jumping into a cauldron of oil, I can do it."

Wang Wei raised his face and smiled: "Hold on to me, don't get lost."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and grabbed Huo Feng's hand. She was surprised that Huo Feng's palm was as warm as fire. This warmth was also transmitted to her palm, and then flowed through the veins of her whole body.

Wang Wei and Huo Feng stepped into the "water" mirror. Suddenly, Wang Wei's eyes were dark, and the warmth in her hands had completely dissipated. She was now alone, walking in the endless darkness, with only the sound of her footsteps and her throbbing heartbeat. She could not see anything, so she could only bite the bullet and walk forward aimlessly.

After walking for an unknown distance, she heard another sound, which was... the sound of dripping water!

In an instant, she felt her scalp tingling and her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She clenched her teeth and adjusted her breathing, and then she felt better. A dark memory suddenly flooded into her mind, and she realized that the secret realm was officially opened from the moment she entered the "water" mirror door.

She speculated that the first stage of the test was to let people face their inner fears alone. The person was fried, either because of the shadow or because of the psychological trauma. Just like she was very afraid of the darkness and the endless sound of dripping water.

——This clichéd test method can actually confirm from the side that it is indeed the usual secret realm routine of the heaven.

"Huo Feng? Huo Feng..." She tried calling out twice, but no one answered. She seemed relieved. She didn't want to reveal too much about herself, lest she lose her identity.

Suddenly, a blinding light appeared before her eyes. She quickly used her hand to block it, and vaguely saw that the place where the light came in was a heavy stone door. The door was opened by a mechanism and automatically retreated to both sides.

There was a figure at the door that was stretched and deformed by the light and shadow. It stepped into the dark room step by step. The footsteps and the sound of dripping water echoed each other, and Wang Wei couldn't help feeling a chill in his heart.

Her eyes gradually adjusted to the bright light that had forced its way in, and she could see who was coming.
