Seeing that Guiyuanzi had agreed, Wu Heng’s smile immediately widened, a hint of complacency and calculation flashed in his eyes: “There’s no rush, there’s no rush. Sect Leader Guiyuan, you’ve come a long way and suffered a great setback. You’re exhausted, both physically and mentally.”
“You’d better rest at the Chamber of Commerce tonight and recuperate. Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take you to the entrance of the secret realm. I have prepared maps and supplies, and two Golden Immortal cultivators will also accompany you.”
Gui Yuanzi nodded without saying a word.
He knew that Wu Heng would not harm him, at least not now.
Wu Heng still needed him to take the Chaos Elixir from the secret realm and risked his life for him. Therefore, Wu Heng would ensure his safety until he obtained the Chaos Elixir.
However, he still felt somewhat uneasy and asked in a deep voice, “Who are those two Golden Immortal cultivators? What are their cultivation levels? What are their skills?”
He needed to understand the situation of these two monks so he could prepare a response and avoid being tricked by them.
Wu Heng smiled and slowly said, “They are all guest elders of the Void Merchant Guild, and their cultivation is all at the first level of the Golden Immortal. Their strength is not weak.”
“The man is skilled in sneaking and carrying out assassinations, with rich experience, and is quite famous in the Northern Region; the woman is skilled in formations and healing, and can provide assistance and ensure your safety in dangerous situations. With them by your side, your success rate in venturing into the secret realm will be much higher.”
Gui Yuanzi nodded, but his guard remained firm.
A first rank Gold Immortal excelled at sneaking, assassination, formations, and healing. This combination is very practical, because it can attack, defend and heal wounds.
But it was precisely for this reason that he became increasingly worried. These two people might not be simple characters, and dealing with them would most likely not be easy.
“Okay, I understand.”
Gui Yuanzi said in a deep voice, “I will rest at the Chamber of Commerce for one night and leave for the Secret Realm of Chaos tomorrow morning.”
Wu Heng nodded and said with a gentle smile, “Alright. I will arrange for someone to take you to your room to rest. I will have someone wake you up early tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, he called outside the secret room, and the two cultivators in armor who were at the entrance of the corridor immediately entered and bowed, saying, “Guild Leader.”
“Take Sect Leader Guiyuan to his guest room to rest. Treat him well and don’t neglect him,” Wu Heng instructed.
“Yes, Chief.”
The two cultivators in armor answered in unison, then turned around and beckoned to Guiyuanzi, “Sect Leader Guiyuan, please come with us.”
Gui Yuanzi glanced at Wu Heng, said nothing, turned around and followed the two armored cultivators out of the secret room.
He knew that from the moment he agreed to Wu Heng’s request, he had embarked on a path filled with danger.
But he has no regrets. For the sake of the young master and for the sake of the Guiyuan Sect, no matter how dangerous it was, he would continue forward without hesitation.
Looking at Gui Yuanzi’s leaving figure, the smile on Wu Heng’s face slowly disappeared, replaced by cold calculation.
He walked to the stone table, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, his gaze blank, and muttered to himself, “Guiyuanzi, I hope you will not disappoint this old man. The treasures in the Secret Realm of Chaos are not easy to obtain.”
“You’d better come back alive and bring back the Chaos Elixir and other treasures in the secret realm for me. Otherwise, neither you nor the little soul remnant in your arms will come out alive.”
He was alone in the secret room. The faint aroma of tea and spiritual energy aura mixed together, creating an eerie atmosphere.
