My gorgeous wife Chapter 1951: 1920: Little Secret Realm

After careful deliberation and a cautious exchange, Li Chen finally encountered the powerful individual who had been negotiating with them.

Cloaked in a black robe, this expert radiated an unusual aura and adeptly concealed their true cultivation. However, Li Chen could discern that their power level was likely at the Soul Realm. Yet, within this peculiar environment, their cultivation was apparently suppressed to the Domain Realm. This realization eased Li Chen's concerns, as he felt no apprehension towards opponents at the Domain Realm.

While Li Chen and his companions felt at ease, the shrouded expert remained guarded, maintaining a strategic distance that allowed for a swift escape even during their meeting.

Had the dignity of a Soul Realm expert become less valuable than self-preservation?

“Are you the one who wishes to negotiate with us?” Li Chen inquired, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he addressed the figure in the black robe.

The opponent's disguise was impressive, but what was the purpose of the Eye of the Dao? It not only granted Li Chen exceptionally keen and far-reaching eyesight but also bestowed upon him the potent ability to perceive all deceptions. Consequently, the disguise of the expert before Li Chen was rendered utterly ineffective.

This expert hailed from the Demon Realm. More importantly, Li Chen perceived that this was a female expert from the Demon Realm!

It became apparent that this Demon Realm cultivator had even altered her voice, a testament to her extreme caution.

“That is correct,” the Demon Realm expert responded, her voice slightly modulated and mechanical. “However, I must inform you upfront that the Little Secret Realm is also connected to the Four Emperors Territory. It might even lead there eventually. Given that its creation was likely accidental, the dangers within could be quite significant.”

“We had already discussed this,” Li Chen affirmed with a nod. “But now that we’ve reached this point, are you still insistent on concealing your identity?”

The Demon Realm expert paused for a moment before finally lifting the hood from her head.

An exceptionally pale yet strikingly beautiful face was revealed to everyone.

This individual was indeed a Demon Realm expert, and a remarkably beautiful woman at that. Delicate little horns adorned her head, lending her an exotic charm and undeniably marking her as a member of the Demon Royal Family.

“My name is Christina, hailing from the Demon Realm. As for my specific origins, you likely wouldn't recognize the location even if I mentioned it,” Christina stated calmly, her gaze sweeping over Li Chen. The disguise in her voice had vanished, replaced by a soft, melodious tone that was pleasing to the ear.

“A pleasure to meet you. I am Li Chen, and these individuals are…”

“Very well, I have no need for further introductions. If there are no objections, let us prepare to depart,” Christina interrupted, turning away as she spoke, seemingly uninterested in further pleasantries with the others.

Li Chen paused, a trace of awkwardness in his demeanor. This Demon Realm expert clearly possessed her own sense of pride, unwilling to engage deeply with individuals at the Domain Realm.

“Then we shall proceed to the Four Emperors Territory first,” Li Bihai interjected at this moment.

Li Chen adopted a thoughtful expression.

This arrangement had been agreed upon previously.

According to Christina, the Little Secret Realm was connected to the Four Emperors Territory and was considered an accidental discovery, thus harboring considerable dangers. Those who had not reached the pinnacle of the Connected Domain Realm might face a perilous journey if they ventured inside and may not return.

Li Chen and his close companions were undeterred, but the subordinates of Li Changkong and Li Bihai faced a different situation. After some discussion, it was decided that their subordinates would journey to the Four Emperors Territory first. There, they could expect the protection of Heaven Realm experts, whereas accompanying Li Chen might compromise their safety.

Li Changkong and Li Bihai resolved to accompany their subordinates, unwilling to shirk their responsibilities as leaders and unable to abandon their comrades.

Li Chen understood their decision and did not press them to stay.

“Very well, we shall meet at the Four Emperors Territory,” Li Chen agreed, looking at the two brothers with a complex expression.

Despite the time they had spent together, he still hadn't determined how he truly felt about these blood-related brothers.

Furthermore, he harbored a premonition.

Perhaps, in this very place, he would finally encounter his renowned father.

What would such a meeting entail?

Li Chen did not eagerly anticipate it, as he still hadn't reconciled how to approach the father who had abandoned him for decades.

Ultimately, Li Chen and three others, alongside Christina, embarked on their journey. Meanwhile, Li Changkong and his group set a course for the Four Emperors Territory.

While secret realms and treasures held importance, it was evident that the safety of their brethren took precedence in their eyes.

Christina indicated a location that was quite some distance away, considering the immense scale of the Regretless Mountain Range. The journey required a significant trek before their destination could be reached. As for where Christina had previously concealed herself, even Li Chen remained unaware.

During their travels, Li Chen's contingent closely observed Christina, and she, in turn, scrutinized them.

She discerned that their group included two Soul Realm cultivators.

However, the heart of their formation was Li Chen, whose cultivation was only at the Domain Realm.

Even though all cultivations were restricted to the Domain Realm within this territory, individuals at the Soul Realm possessed a far superior command over their power. Thus, even when matched in the same realm, the strength they could unleash might differ considerably, sparking her curiosity about Li Chen's companions.

Nevertheless, despite her intrigue, she refrained from probing further.

For Christina, securing the treasure within the secret realm was paramount.

Li Chen and the others were merely instruments to be utilized.

Their association was confined to mutual benefit and cooperation, devoid of any genuine reliance.

"We are nearing our objective. Approximately a thousand miles ahead lies a Silent Valley, embraced by mountains on three sides. It was within this Silent Valley that I discovered a spatial passage, which subsequently led me to the Little Secret Realm," Christina stated.

"Such a vast distance to cover, and with numerous experts now present in the Regretless Mountain Range, are you not concerned that the passage might be discovered by others?" Li Chen inquired.

"Rest assured, when I departed, I implemented multiple concealment formations around that passage. Ordinary individuals would not detect it at all," Christina responded with assurance.

Her proficiency in the Formation Path was substantial; if not for her encounter with Li Chen, it is plausible that no one else would have swiftly uncovered her presence.

"Perhaps you underestimate the caliber of experts in this world." Li Chen's gaze suddenly narrowed, a subtle glint appearing in his eyes as he directed his attention toward the distant valley.

Over there, a conflict was unfolding.
