Su Zhong got up from his seat and said, "Let's go, it's time to go."
Wang Chen and Su Chen immediately followed him, and soon they reached a place where many disciples were chatting.
As soon as they saw Su Zhong, they fell silent.
One of the elders approached Su Zhong and greeted him, "Greetings, Elder Su. How may we assist you ?"
Su Zhong replied, "We need to go to the entrance of the secret realm. Can you arrange for a flying boat for us and the disciples?"
The elder nodded and said, "Of course, Master Su. We have already prepared the boats. Please follow me."
They followed the elder to the flying boats, where all the disciples had already gathered. Su Zhong announced, "Everyone, please board the boats. We will leave shortly."
The disciples quickly boarded the boats, excited to embark on their adventure. As they prepared to take off, Su Zhong turned to Wang Chen and Su Chen and said, "Make sure you keep your guard up. The secret realm is full of dangers."
As all the disciples boarded the flying boat, Su Zhong took the lead and the boat started moving in the air with a gentle hum.
Wang Chen looked around in awe as he had never experienced flying in a boat before. He could see the lush green mountains and sparkling rivers below, and the wind blew through his hair.
"Wow, this is amazing!" exclaimed Wang Chen as he looked around, taking in the breathtaking view from the flying boat. "I never thought I would ever get a chance to ride on a flying boat."
Su Chen chuckled, "Well, it's not every day that you get to ride on a flying boat. This is a privilege that only a few disciples of the sect get to enjoy."
The disciples and elders on board the flying boat saw two other boats already present at the Red Lotus sect entrance as they approached it.
Suddenly Wang Chen's body stiffened as he sensed the intense hostility directed towards him. His heart started pounding, and his palms began to sweat.
As he turned his head to locate the source of the killing intent, his eyes met with the cold gaze of the great elder, who was standing next to Yue Jang and Yue Mingluan.
The elder's face was twisted into a sneer, and Wang Chen could feel the malice radiating off of him.
However, before the great elder could say or do anything, Su Zhong intervened. He stepped forward, his imposing aura dispelling the hostility directed at Wang Chen. "Don't bully a junior!" he declared, his voice firm and unwavering.
The great elder's expression darkened at Su Zhong's words, but he didn't back down. "Hmph, I want to see how long you can protect this little guy," he said with a sly smile, his eyes glinting with malice.
Su Zhong's eyes narrowed as he met the great elder's gaze. "I will protect him as long as I am able," he replied firmly.
The great elder glared at Wang Chen with anger in his eyes. "You hurt my grandson,"
As the great elder raised his hand to strike, Su Zhong stepped forward and blocked the blow. "Don't take your anger out on a junior," Su Zhong said firmly. The great elder hesitated for a moment before begrudgingly backing off.
Though his resentment towards Wang Chen still lingered, he knew better than to provoke Su Zhong any further.
'Hmph, soon that bastard will die anyway,' thought the great elder to himself.
Wang Chen and Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the great elder walk away.
Su Zhong turned to them and said, "We have important business to attend to. It's time to head to the secret realm."
The flying boat continued on its path towards the secret realm, passing by scenic landscapes and beautiful vistas along the way.
...
As the boats of the Red Lotus sect approached the entrance of the secret realm, they saw that there were many boats already present there.
Su Zhong pointed towards the boats and said, "Those are the Blood Fang Sect, the Dark Moon Sect, and the Iron Fist Sect, the other top sects in Wukang Kingdom besides the Red Lotus Sect."
In the Wukang Kingdom, there were four top sects, each with their unique styles of cultivation and powerful techniques.
The Blood Fang Sect specialized in blood manipulation, using it to strengthen their bodies and enhance their attacks.
The Dark Moon Sect was known for their stealth and assassination techniques, capable of striking from the shadows without being seen.
The Iron Fist Sect, on the other hand, focused on physical strength and powerful punching techniques that could break through even the toughest defenses.
"Looks like the Red Lotus sect is late again this year," one person said snidely, while another muttered, "Always trying to steal the best resources, but can't even show up on time." The leading elder of the Blood Fang Sect, a tall and imposing figure, stepped forward and taunted, "The mighty Red Lotus sect, always boasting about their power, but can't even keep to a schedule. How disappointing."
Despite the mocking words, Su Zhong and his disciples remained calm and unfazed, knowing that their true strength lay in their martial arts techniques, not in empty boasts.
Su Zhong calmly replied, "The best resources belong to the ones who can obtain them, regardless of who arrives first or last. We have come here to test our skills and gain knowledge, not to engage in petty bickering."
While all this was happening, Wang Chen was taken aback by the scene before him.
He had not anticipated that the trip to the secret realm would be so full of surprise.
As he approached the entrance with his fellow disciples, a notification from the system appeared in his mind.
[Ding! A new protagonist is detected near the host!]
