Chapter 278

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi looked in shock at the elder in white. He just agreed.

Duanmu Xi glimpsed the elders aside and noticed that none of them came forward and objected. She couldn’t help feeling confused. Didn’t they all object to Snow entering the sacred realm yesterday? Now that so many people requested to go along, these elders didn’t object.

Phoenix Five and others heard that and all looked in delight at the elder in white. They wanted to express their gratitude when the elder in white said, “But whether you can get in there depends on your abilities.”

With that, the elder in white paid no heed to Phoenix Five and others and directly walked forward.

Gazing at the back of the elder in white, Duanmu Xi frowned and felt slightly uneasy.

Seeming to feel Duanmu Xi’s uneasiness, Xuanyuan Mo went forward and put his arms around Duanmu Xi’s shoulders, “Trust me. I won’t let you go in there alone.”

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and smiled. She should trust Snow. Snow must be able to enter the sacred realm with her.

The others followed the elder in white out of the Sacred Maiden’s Palace and arrived at the grotto at the back hill.

Staring at the familiar cave’s mouth, Duanmu Xi met Xuanyuan Mo’s eyes. Was this the place where the eight elders had closed-door training back then? It turned out that the sacred realm was in this grotto too.

Staring at the cave’s mouth, Duanmu Xi thought of Bai He. At that time, it was Bai He who accompanied her to the grotto. It seemed that she didn’t see him as she came out this time.

Duanmu Xi tilted her head to look at Phoenix Five behind her, “Phoenix Five.”

Hearing that, Phoenix Five immediately took two steps forward and slightly bowed, “Yes.”

“Do you know where Bai He has gone to?”

Phoenix Five was slightly dazed to hear that and said with a frown, “Well, I haven’t seen him for a while. It seems that I haven’t met him since I saw him in the inn last time.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi knitted her brows. Where had Bai He gone to? Did anything untoward happen to him?

Seeming to see through Duanmu Xi’s mind, Xuanyuan Mo walked to her and put his arms around her shoulders, “Don’t worry. He’ll be fine.” With that, Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the forest behind them.

Somewhere in the forest, someone hiding behind a tree saw Xuanyuan Mo look at him and immediately moved backward. The man couldn’t help thinking, “Xuanyuan Mo is so competent. I’ve stayed so far away. How can he still notice me?”

Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and nodded. She hoped that Snow was right.

The elder in white looked at them, “The sacred realm is right here. Everybody, go inside!” Then, the elder in white took the lead to enter the grotto.

Everybody followed the elder in white into the grotto.

After they left, the man behind the tree walked out again and looked at the empty mouth of the grotto. The green eyes instantly became dim.

After following the elder in white for a while, everybody finally got to a secret chamber.

The secret chamber was not very big. There was nothing but four walls.

Duanmu Xi frowned at the empty secret chamber, “Is this the entrance of the sacred realm?” There was nothing but walls in this chamber. She couldn’t tell where the entrance of the sacred realm was.

Hearing that, the elder in white struck a streak of black mysterious Qi at one of the walls.

As the black mysterious Qi hit the wall, the wall miraculously changed. A while later, a portal as transparent as a mirror appeared on the wall.

Everybody was surprised to see the sudden change and didn’t expect that the entrance of the sacred realm was hidden in the wall.

The elder in white slightly bowed to Duanmu Xi, “This is the entrance of the sacred realm.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded. The entrance of the sacred realm was so mysterious. Just as well the several elders showed them the way. Otherwise, they couldn’t find it even by the next year.

“Sacred Maiden, Mr. Xuanyuan, you may go inside now. Yet, here’s a reminder for you. There are many illusions in the sacred realm. You two must follow your hearts. If you’re spellbound by the illusions in the sacred realm, the sacred realm will send you off automatically. If you’re sent off, you’ll be deemed eliminated. Only those who actually find the Celestial Maiden’s legacy can pass the test.”

The others all frowned upon hearing the last words uttered by the elder in white and looked at each other. Why did he mention the Celestial Maiden’s legacy? Wasn’t it that she would pass the test as long as she found the entrance? Why hadn’t they heard what Chief Elder just said?

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi frowned. What did the Celestial Maiden, who looked the same as her, have to do with her?

The elder in white looked at Duanmu Xi pondering with a frown, his eyes flickering, “Sacred Maiden, rest assured. Everything is written in the stars. I believe you can definitely pass the test. We’ll wait for you at the entrance.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi nodded and turned to look at Phoenix Five and the others aside, “Don’t go inside with us. You just stay here and protect Chief Master and Third Master for me.” It was her own test. Now that Snow was going with her, if she took Phoenix Five and the others with her, she would feel she didn’t pass the test decently.

“Your Highness…” Phoenix Five wanted to say something but was dragged by Long Yue aside.

Duanmu Xi stared at Phoenix Five’s resigned expression and furrowed her brows, saying coldly, “This is an order.”

Hearing Duanmu Xi’s cold voice, Phoenix Five immediately hung her head, “Yes, Your Highness!”

The others all replied with a bow.

Having settled down Phoenix Five and the others, Duanmu Xi turned to look at the elder in white, “Chief Elder, please take them back.” There were plenty of mechanisms in this place. She was really worried about them.

Hearing that, the elder in white immediately said with a slight bow, “Sacred Maiden, rest assured. I will take them out safely.”

Duanmu Xi nodded and stood in front of the portal with Xuanyuan Mo.

No sooner had they just approached than a heavy suction came at them.

Feeling the powerful suction, Duanmu Xi frowned and had a sense of deja vu. This was exactly the same as what happened in the divine stone the other day. The only difference was that one was a stone while the other was a mirror.

Faced with the strong suction, Xuanyuan Mo subconsciously held Duanmu Xi tightly. This time, he wouldn’t let Xi face this alone again.

The suction got greater and greater. Xuanyuan Mo stopped struggling and directly carried Duanmu Xi in his arms to fly to the portal.

The two of them directly went through the portal and disappeared in front of all.

After they disappeared, the portal in the wall just disappeared. The wall recovered and became normal again.

Phoenix Five wanted to go forward but upon thinking of the order Duanmu Xi gave before leaving, she had to stop.

The elders were stupefied to see Xuanyuan Mo and Duanmu Xi enter the sacred realm. Xuanyuan Mo really got in there.

Only the elder in white remained composed and only slightly dropped his eyes. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Second Elder stared at the elder in white anxiously, “Chief, well…” What should they do? Didn’t Chief Elder say that Xuanyuan Mo couldn’t enter the sacred realm? Why did Xuanyuan Mo get in there successfully?

The elder in white looked at the other elders, “This is the sacred realm’s choice. We have no reason to object.” Everything was predestined. They couldn’t stop it.

The elders all hung their heads in frustration.

Looking at the frustrated elders, the elder in white heaved a sigh, “Let’s go back.”

The elder in white turned to look at Phoenix Five and the others, saying casually, “This way, please. I’ll take you back.”

Phoenix Five looked at the wall and felt reluctant to leave.

The elder in white saw the scene and smiled, “Don’t think about it. It’s correct that the sacred maiden didn’t allow you to go inside. Anyway, you can’t enter the sacred realm. Even if you go in there, there’s nothing you can do. Maybe you may implicate the sacred maiden and Mr. Xuanyuan.”

He knew well about the dangers in the sacred realm. These people could only be a drag on the sacred maiden and Mr. Xuanyuan even if they got in there.

They all hung their heads silently. The elder in white was right. They didn’t know the situation in the sacred realm. If it was dangerous in there and they went, they wouldn’t be able to help Her Highness and His Highness. Worse still, they would even become a drag. If it was not dangerous, they didn’t have to go along then. With His Highness around, Her Highness would definitely come back safely.

In the sacred realm, Duanmu Xi was on top of Xuanyuan Mo. They were in an extremely intimate posture.

“Well, I…” Duanmu Xi looked at Xuanyuan Mo beneath her in a flurry and slightly flushed. She wanted to get up from Xuanyuan Mo but after trying a few times, she just couldn’t move at all. Hence, Duanmu Xi could only stare at him, “Let me go.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo cracked a sinister smile, “Xi, you’re such an ungrateful soul! I let you stay above me in case you got hurt. Why are you yelling at me?”

Looking at Xuanyuan Mo’s sinister face, Duanmu Xi slightly narrowed her pretty eyes, “Will you let me go or not?”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo had a smile flashing through his eyes and arched his brows, “No.”

Hearing that, Duanmu Xi suddenly bent to bite Xuanyuan Mo’s lips hard.

The numbness in his lips made Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes darken at once.

Facing Xuanyuan Mo’s gaze, Duanmu Xi swallowed nervously, “You… can’t blame me for it. You deserve this.”

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo licked his lips and towered above Duanmu Xi before she came around.

“You…” Duanmu Xi’s lips were captured by Xuanyuan Mo right after she uttered a word.

“Umm…” Duanmu Xi thumped Xuanyuan Mo’s chest. He always did this to her at will… They were in the sacred realm. Dangers were awaiting them ahead. However, he just made out with her regardless.

Ignoring Duanmu Xi’s thump, Xuanyuan Mo just focused on savoring his girl masterfully and wildly.

Gradually, affected by Xuanyuan Mo’s passion, Duanmu Xi started to respond to him and even forgot that they were in the sacred realm, a place with lurking dangers.
