Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 220: 136, Qinglong Association (4)_2

And Ding Buhai, hearing the voices of the three people beside him, looked at the entrance to the Secret Realm, his expression flickering several times, his mind a whirl with thoughts.

All four of them did not believe Hou Yuxiao could enter the Secret Realm; the rest of the crowd felt the same, their eyes all fixed on Hou Yuxiao, waiting for the red vines to appear and claim his life.

However, the next moment, they were collectively dumbfounded!

Hou Yuxiao's foot had entered the stone gate; not only was he met with no resistance, but the red vines had not appeared at all from the beginning to the end.

The crowd quickly noticed the only anomaly on Hou Yuxiao—he held a Qinglong Bronze Order in his hand, emitting a faint luminescence.

"Not to conceal from everyone, the three gold Qinglong Tokens and ten silver Qinglong Tokens that we of the Qinglong Association plan to issue will not be sold. Instead, they are hidden within the Secret Realm, and whoever manages to seize them shall own them!

The Bronze Orders cost ten thousand taels each, whoever wants one, hurry up and pay; first come, first served. There are only fifty Bronze Orders in total from Mister Fang, so if you want one, act quickly."

...

As soon as the words "act quickly" were spoken, everyone was immediately stunned, their gaze shifting to the Bronze Order in Hou Yuxiao's hand as comprehension dawned on them.

This was a sale of the Secret Realm's admission tickets!

"Senior Fang, I want one!"

"I also want one."

"I want one too."

...

Soon, voices rose one after another from the crowd, causing Hou Yuxiao's expression to falter as he realized that he had underestimated the allure of the Secret Realm coupled with the Qinglong Tokens.

Without hesitation, as making money from this affair was the benefit Maiden Hong gave him for his cooperation, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

Thus, more than thirty Qinglong Tokens were sold out in no time. As time went on, the crowd's hesitation diminished, almost racing to purchase them.

Naturally, most of these people were leaders of third-rate forces, relying on their Dan Embracing Phase cultivation. Whether they wished to try their luck in the Secret Realm or fancied competing for one of the three golden Qinglong Tokens was unknown.

Hou Yuxiao even saw Yu Guixin, whose son he had killed, his face crawling with greed as he walked up and handed over ten thousand taels of silver.

While he was busy selling like hotcakes on one side, Fan Longhe and his two companions, though showing signs of urgency, still managed to remain clear-headed.

"Fang Longxiang is obviously luring us in; could there be a trap inside?"

"What's there to fear? Master is nearby, and with those five masters all around, even if anything unusual happens, they'll be able to assist in time. The Yuan Gang Secret Realm cannot stop them!"

Just fifty Qinglong Bronze Orders, and Fang Jinghong will have sold them all in no time."

"This is the Yuan Gang Secret Realm we're talking about. If one finds the heart of the realm and successfully refines it, becoming the master of the realm and breaking through the Heavenly Gate Acupoint will be as easy as turning the palm of one's hand. You could even become a warrior of the Yuan Dan Realm. I want to go in."

Out of the four, Ding Dian was the most impatient. His cultivation had already reached the Master Four Realms level. With the resources of a Yuan Gang Secret Realm, his training speed could greatly increase.

Yet, someone was quicker than him!

Tong Wudi was one step ahead; he dashed to Hou Yuxiao, casually threw over a silver note worth ten thousand taels, exchanged it for a Bronze Order, and rushed straight into the Secret Realm.

Ding Dian had not reacted much to the previous entrants, but seeing Tong Wudi go in finally prompted a glint of impatience. Accompanied by three masters from the Prison Admin Department, he rushed to Hou Yuxiao.

Behind the mask, as he faced Ding Dian, who harbored deep-seated hatred towards him, Hou Yuxiao was unsure what to feel. But after receiving his forty thousand taels, he said nothing and just tossed four Bronze Orders to him.

Seeing Ding Dian enter, Ding Buhai's face showed displeasure. He turned to Fan Longhe and asked, "Lord Fan, aren't you planning to go in?"

Fan Longhe hesitated for a long while, then turned and instructed a messenger behind him, "Tell Gui Yutang to have the Mansion Army guard the surroundings tightly. If the Secret Realm doesn't open, I won't come out. If anyone from the Qinglong Association dares to make a move, show no mercy!"

"Yes."

"Ding Dian has always been arrogant, if he manages to get hold of this Secret Realm, I, the County Magistrate, will never be able to turn the tables. Brother Ding, please accompany me inside to block this fiend, shall we?"

Ding Buhai did not respond verbally, simply nodding slightly to express his agreement.

With Fan Longhe having only one Grandmaster under his command and Ding Buhai in command of three, the two set their decision and wasted no time. They went up to Hou Yuxiao, bought six Bronze Orders, and resolutely charged towards the entrance of the Secret Realm.

Watching one after another rush into the Secret Realm, Hou Yuxiao's mindset gradually began to shift. He knew all this was Maiden Hong's deliberate inducement, but looking at the stone gate of the Secret Realm, greed gradually overwhelmed his thoughts.

The five Grandmasters and Master Fanyin were surely nearby, so Ding Dian, Fan Longhe, and the others were so emboldened. A mere Yuan Gang Secret Realm certainly couldn't stop six warriors of the Full Completion of Yuandan level.

If Ding Dian and Tong Wudi truly took away the Yuan Gang Secret Realm, he would be out of luck, as both men bore a grudge against him.

The fifty Bronze Orders were sold out quickly, and he sold off all the other Bronze Orders people had on them. The Warriors of the Gang Qi Realm present were reduced by half, and their cultivation was almost all above the Gathering Evil Phase.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Bronze Orders are now sold out. If you wish to obtain one in the future, stay tuned for announcements from the Qinglong Association. That will be all for today!"

Hou Yuxiao cupped his fists and addressed the crowd that had yet to disperse.

"Leader Fang Long, may I ask if the silver Qinglong Token changes hands, can it still be used as a token for assassination, or does one need to pay extra?"
