The Five Elements Palace was a large Sect comparable to the Shura Sword Sect and had many disciples.
Although Luo Hong was the direct disciple of the Palace Master, many disciples were furious and did not give him any face.
"Fang Chen, get out of the Five Elements Palace!"
"Yes, get out!"
Many martial artists roared.
Fang Chen's face was gloomy and he did not say anything.
Luo Hong was unhappy and said coldly, "I'll say it again. This is the Palace Master's decision. If anyone has any doubts, go find the Palace Master."
Luo Hong used the Palace Master to suppress these disciples, but it did not work.
"Everyone, let's attack together and kick this bastard out of the Five Elements Palace." A voice came from the crowd.
Immediately, everyone released their powerful auras and prepared to attack.
Luo Hong was furious and a terrifying aura shot out from his eyes. He took a step forward and a vast aura emerged and confronted the crowd.
"Senior Brother Luo Hong, we don't want to attack you. Please move aside."
"Senior Brother Luo Hong, is this outsider more important than us?"
"Enough!"
At this moment, a heavy voice came from afar.
Hearing this voice, the angry crowd quieted down and withdrew their auras.
"I decided to give Fang Chen a spot. Everyone, disperse."
The Five Elements Palace Master's voice came. His tone was very strong and he did not explain anything to the crowd. He just told them to disperse.
Everyone looked at each other and they were helpless.
In the end, they glared at Fang Chen and turned to leave.
The Five Elements Palace Master was an overlord in the Five Elements Palace. Under normal circumstances, no disciple dared to go against the Palace Master's words.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd dispersed.
Luo Hong looked at Fang Chen apologetically and said, "Brother Fang, I'm sorry."
Fang Chen spread his hands, indicating that it was fine.
"You two, come to my place." The Five Elements Palace Master's voice came into their minds.
Fang Chen and Luo Hong looked at each other and then went to the Five Elements Palace Master's study.
They pushed the door open and entered the study.
The study was very spacious, but it was empty inside.
Other than a wooden table, there was only a row of bookshelves.
Fang Chen glanced at the books on the shelves. They were all about the history of the Sword Burial Prefecture.
At the entrance, there were two grey potted plants.
The entire study was very simple and unadorned.
It was obvious that the Five Elements Palace Master liked a single style.
The Five Elements Palace Master sat in his armchair and smiled as he looked at Fang Chen.
This was Fang Chen's second time meeting the Five Elements Palace Master.
"Palace Master." Fang Chen cupped his hands towards Luo Hong.
"The reason I called the two of you here is to tell you about the Five Elements Mystery Realm," the Five Elements Palace Master said with a smile.
If one didn't know the Five Elements Palace Master, they wouldn't be able to tell that he was the Palace Master of a large Sect.
According to the ranking system of the Ancient Sword Continent, the Five Elements Palace could be considered a peak 7-star or even 8-star Sect.
Such a powerful Sect could easily destroy the entire Ancient Sword Continent.
"Actually, this Mystery Realm is just a small Mystery Realm. It was originally a nameless Mystery Realm. Because it was discovered outside the Five Elements Sword City, we named it the Five Elements Mystery Realm," the Five Elements Palace Master said slowly.
"We've also investigated it. The Five Elements Mystery Realm should have been created by a Mysterious King Realm almighty. However, the Mysterious King Realm almighty who created the mystery realm is very weak. The mystery realm is very unstable and only True Martial Realm warriors can enter it."
"Moreover, once the Five Elements Mystery Realm is opened, it will be completely destroyed in a month.
Therefore, you only have one month, "the Five Elements Palace Master said simply.
Luo Hong nodded heavily.
Although it was just a small Mystery Realm, it was better than nothing.
Perhaps they could find a way to break through.
Fang Chen also nodded. He had heard of the Mystery Realm that the Five Elements Palace Master mentioned before. Such a small Mystery Realm could collapse easily. Once it was opened, it could only be maintained for a short period of time before it completely collapsed.
"Do you know why I gave you a spot?" The Five Elements Palace Master grinned and looked at Fang Chen.
Fang Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Palace Master, you must have taken a fancy to my Space-type True Meaning."
The Five Elements Palace Master looked at him approvingly and said, "That's right. In this trip to the Mystery Realm, the Annihilation Shrine will definitely attack the disciples of the Five Elements Palace.
If it's a matter between the younger generation, I'm not worried. The only thing I'm worried about is … "
"The Annihilation Shrine has colluded with other forces and sent some powerful younger generation to encircle the disciples of the Five Elements Palace," the Five Elements Palace Master said.
"Palace Master, there's something I don't understand," Fang Chen asked.
"Speak."
"Since the Annihilation Shrine can collude with other forces, why is the Five Elements Palace unwilling to look for reinforcements?" Fang Chen asked.
The Five Elements Palace Master fell into silence.
The atmosphere in the study instantly froze.
After a long time, the Five Elements Palace Master said, "Actually, it's not that the Five Elements Palace isn't willing to look for reinforcements.
"Let me put it this way. The Five Elements Palace is a Sect passed down by the descendants of the Five Elements Sword City's City Lord. As time passed, the Five Elements Palace began to decline.
"As for the Annihilation Shrine, it grew stronger and stronger. The Grand Elder of the Annihilation Shrine is a legendary figure.
"The other Sect's aren't willing to suffer a calamity, nor are they willing to participate in this matter. In the end, the other forces no longer acknowledge the Five Elements Palace.
Unless the Five Elements Palace can completely seize control of the Five Elements Sword City and restore the prestige of the Five Elements Sword City, "the Five Elements Palace Master said.
Fang Chen could hear the bitterness in the Five Elements Palace Master's voice.
The Five Elements Palace was a descendant of the Five Elements Sword City's City Lord.
As for the City Lord, he was the first dean of the Five Elements Academy, as well as its founder.
Speaking of which, Fang Chen and the Five Elements Palace could be considered to be of the same lineage.
"Are there any cultivation restrictions for entering the Five Elements Secret Realm?" asked Fang Chen.
"Anyone under the Profound King Realm can enter," said the Five Elements Palace Master.
Fang Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this.
Anyone under the Profound King Realm could enter. Didn't that mean quasi-kings could enter as well?
Although Fang Chen was strong enough to be comparable to a sixth stage True Martial Realm cultivator, facing a quasi-king expert, even the True Meaning of Void wouldn't be of any use.
As if he could see through Fang Chen's thoughts, the Five Elements Palace Master said bluntly, "Don't be too pessimistic. The other forces aren't willing to participate in this mess. There's only one nearby force that's supporting the Annihilation Shrine. It's called the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization."
"The assassin who tried to assassinate Luo Hong that day was also from this organization," said Fang Chen.
The Five Elements Palace Master nodded. "That's right. That assassin is called the Darkshadow Sovereign. He's a top assassin in the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization."
The assassins of the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization were all in the True Martial Realm. After all, those who had reached the Profound King Realm were all nobles. Who would be willing to be an assassin?
And this Darkshadow Sovereign was also very strong in the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization.
"Most of the assassins in the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization are scattered in every corner of the Sword Burial Province. It's not easy to gather them. For such a small secret realm, the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization won't make a big fuss. I think only a small portion of their assassins will enter," said the Five Elements Palace Master.
"Moreover, the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization is supporting the Annihilation Shrine based on the situation there. If the Five Elements Palace can suppress the Annihilation Shrine, the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization won't support the Annihilation Shrine."
Fang Chen nodded.
If the Bloodmoon Assassin Organization only sent experts like the Darkshadow Sovereign, then they would be courting death.
"Of course, the Five Elements Palace also has a trump card."
The Five Elements Palace Master said.
After talking with the Five Elements Palace Master for a long time, Fang Chen came out of the study late at night and returned to his residence.
Only Luo Hong and the Five Elements Palace Master were left in the simple study.
"Luo Hong, what do you think of this person?" asked the Five Elements Palace Master with a smile.
"Master, this Fang Chen should be trustworthy," whispered Luo Hong.
"Yes. If you cooperate with him in the Five Elements Secret Realm, you'll be able to escape unscathed if you encounter an eighth stage True Martial Realm cultivator," said the Five Elements Palace Master.
"Palace Master, you're taking a big gamble," said Luo Hong.
"There's no other way. My Five Elements Palace's current situation isn't optimistic. Once the Annihilation Shrine's Grand Elder comes out of seclusion, our situation will be even more dangerous. This is an opportunity," said the Five Elements Palace Master.
