The City Lord Mansion's announcement of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm rules, investing 365 tokens and offering a Coagulation Crystal Elixir as the first prize, stirs cultivators across Great Dream Marsh, drawing even False Core Patriarchs into the fray. In the bustling secret realm, lower-level cultivators gather resources while elite disciples vie for tokens, with Lu Lingxiao unleashing scorching flames via his Vermilion Bird Seal to claim a batch amid chaotic battles. As the trials reach their climax and alliances form, a False Core elder from a local family demands tokens from Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, and their companions, prompting the group to ready their spiritual artifacts for an intense confrontation.

Apart from Qin Yi, who had already advanced to the Ninth Level of Foundation Establishment, Lu Qingxuan and the rest remained stuck at the Middle or Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

In one swift moment, Lu Qingyan faced the overwhelming mana rush from the False Core elder, her qi and blood surging chaotically as her form kept backing away.

Yet, in the blink of an eye, Qin Yi launched her flying sword, with sharp Sword Qi whirling fiercely around it.

Strikes from Lu Qingxuan and Lu Chensha came right after.

"The Heavenly Talisman Lu Family truly lives up to its reputation! Hah!"

Through a series of clashes, the False Core elder came to see that these Lu Family disciples ahead were no pushovers, and holding back his real strength might lead to his downfall.

He parted his lips to release a chilly gleam, which shifted into a vintage, graceful fishing rod crafted from laced jade-hued pearl radiance.

This marked his natal magic treasure—the Sea Anker!

The rod twisted rapidly, collecting a profound blue glow like the sea, imposing a heavy burden akin to a mountain crushing down on Qin Yi and her companions.

Right then, the rod's crystal thread darted at Lu Qingxuan, aiming to restrain the key fighter.

"Clang!"

Beside her, Qin Yi hastily formed hand seals, directing her flying sword to slash at the crystal thread without delay, only for it to get firmly coiled by the thread, shaking nonstop.

At that sight, Lu Qingxuan drew his Thunder Fire Scepter to his chest, summoning the [Urgent Thunder Qilin Diagram] through the "Hundred Refinements Treasure Body Art".

Suddenly, his whole figure became a storm of lightning, a qilin like a thunder creature above his head lifting its hooves in a thunderous bellow, plunging into the ocean-deep blue radiance.

"Boom!"

The blow, packed with devastating and bursting Qi mechanism, smashed straight through the False Core elder's assault, unleashing a horrifying mana blast that jolted the fishing rod magic treasure fiercely, making its spiritual light waver.

Lu Qingyan and Lu Chensha, catching this, moved at once.

Yet, as a True Man at False Core, he outclassed any Foundation Establishment cultivator; he invoked a high-quality spiritual artifact for defense, while the rod he gripped flared with azure light, striking at the team.

"Five Elements Primordial Wheel!"

Nearby, a multicolored treasure wheel rotated over Lu Xuanqian’s head, bathing him in an invincible glow against all spells, pinning down his rival at the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Young as he was, his entry into Foundation Establishment had happened only seventeen years back.

Still, with a Five Elements Spiritual Body, his cultivation surged forward like wildfire, as effortless as daily sustenance, already attaining the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.

Next to him, Lu Linghe held her own fiercely.

Even though she began her path much later and had learned few techniques,

as a favored daughter of Lu Changsheng, she received constant care from spiritual elixirs and earthly heavenly treasures, forging a sturdy foundation.

She not only reached the Seventh Layer of Foundation Establishment but also wielded top-grade spiritual artifacts such as the Black Dragon Spear and Qiankun Ring, with every piece of jewelry and clothing serving as spiritual artifacts too.

One could say that a ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator would find it hard to pierce through her full set of spiritual artifacts.

Her opponent, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, paled at the sight of this sparkling trove of items.

For that treasure aura shone too brightly, making it obvious she was the treasured offspring of True Master Changsheng.

If even a minor wound befell her, sparking the True Man's fury... or irking the other Lu Family members, he could no longer survive in Jiang Country.

Still, against Lu Linghe’s bold, savage style of battle like a wild beast, he proved inferior and fell back steadily.

"Fellow young friends, how about we call it a day and stop here?"

By now, the False Core elder grasped that overpowering Lu Qingxuan and the group wouldn't come easily.

Plus, the three youths he had with him also failed to overcome Lu Xuanqian, Lu Linghe, and Lu Qingze.

Going on like this held no value, just paving the way for both sides' ruin.

"Call it a day and stop here? Do you think the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family is easy to bully?"

But then, a bright and charming voice sounded forth.

A gorgeous young lady in a pale pink dress emerged far off, her fine eyes scanning the fishing rod gripped by the False Core elder.

At her side loomed a high-built youth wrapped in scarlet shine.

"Sister!"

Spotting the lady, Lu Linghe shouted with delight, driving her Black Dragon Spear ahead to shove back her foe, ready to mount the Wind-Fire Wheels and head to Lu Wangshu.

Yet, mindful of the fight still raging, and how her exit would shift the load to Lu Xuanqian and the rest, she restrained herself.

"Wangshu."

"Sister Wangshu."

The group hailed Lu Wangshu too upon her appearance, turning their gaze to Lu Lingxiao close by.

Still, Lu Lingxiao's role as Young City Lord drew excessive eyes, so Hong Lian assisted in masking him, leaving even Lu Linghe unaware of her brother except via Lu Wangshu.

"So it is the Talisman Fairy. May I ask what the Fairy intends?"

Born to Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, Lu Wangshu had dwelt in Great Dream Immortal City for long years, managing the Lu Family’s [Heavenly Talisman Hall] there, gaining her solid fame.

This False Core True Man knew Lu Wangshu as well, curbing his ire to speak with respect.

"Naturally, you should hand over all your gains."

While the fishing rod magic treasure drew Lu Wangshu's strong interest, in these secret realm tests, she worked hard to spare the family any hassle.

"Does this young friend completely disregard this old man?"

The elder's features chilled right away.

Even a clay figure has a temper.

A proud False Core True Man and area elder like him, in deference to the Heavenly Talisman Lu Family and True Master Changsheng, had already extended much courtesy to Lu Qingxuan, Lu Wangshu, and the like.

But for a simple junior like Lu Wangshu to demand he yield all his loot ignored his standing as an elder entirely!

Intolerable!

Utterly intolerable!

Though whispers abounded that this Talisman Fairy carried on True Master Changsheng’s Talisman Path with vast might, he couldn't simply retreat here.

Otherwise, where would his dignity be?

"In that case, I will take it myself."
