After a while,
Seeing their silent expression as if everyone epted their fate, a surprise shed through Lin Lee''s eyes.
''It''s unbelievable. What kind of secret is hidden in the vige that they are willing to sacrifice everything in order to keep the secrecy?''
Lin Lee thought to himself and then raised his hand.
All the nanobots flying daggers retracted in his hand and disappeared.
Surprising all of the vigers around, including the Vige Chief,
Lin Lee nced at them deeply, then shook his head andnded on the ground below, turned around, and walked away toward the forest.
"Please wait," Instantly, a voice sounded behind him.
Lin Lee''s footsteps halted; he turned around and nced at the figure who just called him.
"Can you tell us, despite being stronger than us, even knowing there is a secret in the vige, you also know about the treasure that concealed our vige; why did you spare us?" The figure asked, looking at him deeply, and flew forward a little.
Lin Lee shook his head and replied, "It''s nothing; it''s just that even if I am not a good person, I am not some lowly scum."
The Vigers were surprised hearing Lin Lee reply, and then all of themnded on the ground. They moved forward, and then all of them patted their chests with their own fists and bowed, "Please forgive our rudeness, your excellency; if you don''t mind, you can stay in our vige."
"Oh, why are you apologizing, and why did you change your mind?" Lin Lee asked calmly, looking at them strangely.
"Your excellency, You showed us kindness by sparing our vige; we want to repay that kindness; it''s our vige rule to repay every kindness; I am vige Chief Niu Hu."
The main figure among them replied and introduced himself and then further exined about their vige: "Everyone in our vige has Niu surname, including the name of our vige, which is named after Niu surname."
The vige chief spoke and then introduced the fourpanions around him as Niu Yi, Niu Han, Niu Li, and Niu Hong also introduced the vige customs.
"Please follow us." The vige chief spoke and turned around and walked forward toward the vige; others also nodded at Lin Lee''s direction calmly and walked toward the vige.
Lin Lee nced at their backs strangely.
''Are these guys idiots? I threatened them and then spared them; where is kindness in my act?.''
He thought and then followed them, and then he asked suspiciously, "What kindness; I just didn''t do what I wanted to do."
Instantly, the figures in front of him were surprised. The vige chief turned and nced at Lin Lee''s expression.
''He is very young; I didn''t expect we would encounter a young king, probably a heavenly genius.''
"Our ancestors used to say that sparing life is the highest level of kindness; you have chosen to spare our vige instead of annihtion; it in itself is an act of kindness, even if you did it on a whim or change of heart." The vige chief exined calmly. Lin Lee raised his brow thoughtfully.
''Did he just say even sparing on a whim and change of heart is kindness? Well, I shouldn''t do that in the future.''
Lin Lee thought to himself and followed them inside the vige after passing through the invisible veil covering the whole vige.
As if all of them appeared in another realm,
Lin Lee nced around, looking at a huge greenish hilly area with a lot of mountain and vige houses and a lot of figures flying around between them.
''This realm is created by the king.'' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the huge tower floating in the middle of this realm, which is stabilizing and concealing this realm.
"You had a king in your vige. Where is he?" Lin Lee asked calmly, looking at Vige Chief,
Sigh!!!
Vige Chief sighed and then nced at the king tower deeply and replied, "We are descendants of kings; this realm is established to conceal the secret of heaven and earth; there is no king now; all our ancestors are buried in this realm; just a few old immortal spirits left behind."
Lin Lee raised his brow, looking at the vige chief. ''It seems he didn''t allow me inside the vige because of some kindness, but he has another purpose.''
"What is the secret of heaven and earth hidden inside this realm? Can you borate?" Lin Lee asked curiously,
"Vige Chief!!!" Instantly the viger beside the vige chief called him; they all looked at the vige chief hesitatingly; they didn''t want him to reveal a secret to the outsiders.
The vige chief gave them a nce; instantly they fell silent, and then he nced at the Lin Lee and solemnly spoke, "It''s taboo to reveal the vige secret to the outsiders, but for your excellency, I will make an exception, because I know you are a young king, and I want you to take away the secret from us."
"What? a young king." Instantly the viger around the leader eximed, their hearts trembling. Looking at Lin Lee with dread, they didn''t expect the one they were threatening to be a king.
Lin Lee furrowed his brow looking at the Vige Chief and then said, "If it''s a useless secret, I won''t show any interest in it, but if it''s useful, then I will consider taking it away."
The vige chief nodded and then said, "Please, your excellency, follow me." After speaking, he walked forward. The other viger stood silently and didn''t dare to move before Lin Lee.
Lin Lee nodded and followed the Vige Chief; after a while, they reached the middle of the secret realm, near a huge arena.
Lin Lee brow raised looking at the huge arena, and some young men were fighting above it; they are all great immortals, except a few among them are true immortals.
Lin Lee nced through them and then nced at the arena below their feet, which is flickering with runes and absorbing the blood essence of young people fighting above it.
"Your excellency, as you have noticed, the secret of our vigeys below this arena," the vige chief spoke, looking at the arena, and then his expression became solemn, he added.
"In order to preserve the secret, our generation by generation has been giving our best; because of that sacrifice, our future generations are bing weaker and weaker. I can foresee that in the distant future we will lose everything, including the secret and our generation."
After speaking, he nced at Lin Lee, then said, "I just want your excellency to take this secret away; if you aren''t interested, then please destroy it for us."
"Oh, if I am not interested in the secret, then what will I get in return after destroying it? I can''t help you for free." Lin Lee asked thoughtfully, looking at the vige chief,
Instantly, Vige Chief fell silent and then pointed at the king tower in the sky, "We will offer you that tower in return for your help."
"Vige Chief! You can''t…" Instantly the vigers around were shocked, and they wanted to say something.
Vige Chief raised his hand and stopped them; instantly everyone fell silent unwillingly.
Lin Lee nced at them and then turned and looked at the king tower above the arena.
''Well, a king''s treasure is a goodpensation,''
Lin Lee thought and then nodded, looking at the vige chief, and said, "Well, I will ept this reward; now lead the way toward the secret realm."
"Pleasee with me." The vige chief spoke and appeared near the piller at the edge of the arena.
He put his hand on the piller; instantly blood essence flowed out of his hand, and red veins covered the whole piller.
Lin Lee raised his brow, seeing the Vige Chief''s hairs turning gray and his life essence reducing at an rming rate.
''What''s inside this formation? It''s really sucking their life and potential,'' Lin Lee thought to himself, looking at the pillerpletely turned red,
Bang!!!
Instantly the piller separated in the middle and an invisible door appeared, while the viger and the young people on the arena were looking at the vige chief''s gray, white hair and old appearance unwillingly.
"Please, your excellency, we aren''t allowed to go inside; it will devour us upon stepping inside; only outsider bloodlines can go inside." The vige chief spoke, retracted his trembling hand from the piller, and took deep breaths to stabilize his condition.
Lin Lee nodded and then walked inside the door; upon entering inside, he appeared in another separate realm.
The door behind him closed instantly, and the piller in front of the viger leader and other vigers also closed and restored as before.
"Vige Chief, will he be able to do it? Even though we don''t know what is inside this secret realm, there may be a huge danger; that''s why our ancestors forbade us to go inside." The vigers asked, hesitatingly looking at their leader,
The vige chief shook his head and replied, "We can only hope that he will free us from this curse."
Hearing the vige chief''s words, all the viger around fell silent.
