Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 293 - 195: The Foxes Gather Together!

Great River Secret Realm.

Revisiting an old place, the protagonist stood by the roaring river, looking at the distant, empty valley, suddenly feeling as if a lifetime had passed.

The last time he was here, the protagonist was hunted like a stray dog.

Returning now, everything had changed.

The remnants of the Heaven-Facing Sect, who previously occupied this place, were pardoned and are now taking revenge everywhere. At least half of the recent headless murder cases in the Cultivation Realm were their doing.

The protagonist thought of the Dragon Race’s little princess, Xu Yue’Er.

Back in the Secret Realm, Xu Yue’Er was bathing, and the protagonist and Zhao Yi fell from the mountain. Xu Yue’Er wanted the protagonist to marry her, almost killing Zhao Yi with a single sword strike.

This was the only time the protagonist beat Zhao Yi.

Though he verbally rejected Xu Yue’Er back then, he felt quite pleased inside.

Now the Four Seas Dragon Race is in decline, and Xu Yue’Er is missing.

The protagonist and Zhao Yi are no longer the naive youngsters they once were.

Time changes all.

"Jing’Er, why did you stop?"

Yao Qing, who had just gone to relieve herself, caught up from behind and saw the protagonist standing still, puzzled.

Hearing this, the Sage of Time also stopped, looking at the protagonist with curiosity.

The protagonist snapped back to reality and said, "Ahead is the Great River Secret Realm’s Guardian Array. The Great Xia Zhao Clan has claimed this Secret Realm as their own. There must be people guarding it, and going further might trigger a Restriction, surely alarming the Zhao Clan."

The Sage of Time suddenly understood, "I see!"

He then turned to look at the empty valley, his eyes flashing with rainbow colors.

Soon, the Sage of Time’s gaze returned to normal.

He nodded slightly, nodding and saying, "Indeed, there are Restrictions in this valley, and they’re different from the Arrays I’ve seen in the Cultivation Realm. It must have been altered by people from the Zhao Clan you mentioned."

After speaking, a pale white skeleton suddenly crawled out from beneath his feet.

"Ah!"

Yao Qing was startled by the sudden appearance of the skeleton.

The protagonist ignored Yao Qing and thoughtfully looked at the Sage of Time, "Are you planning to use undead creatures to probe the Array?"

The Sage of Time nodded, "Whether it’s a Restriction or an Array, they are basically the same. They are activated by external triggers to produce the corresponding effects."

"When an Array is in operation, it consumes a lot of resources, so generally, the triggering sensor is set to the lowest level."

"Once the sensor value is figured out, it’s easy to deceive the Array’s sensor and enter it directly."

The protagonist was quite surprised.

He didn’t expect the Sage of Time, an Otherworld being, to be so familiar with Arrays.

While the protagonist was thinking this, the skeleton suddenly stood up from the ground and staggered towards the valley.

Seeing this, the Sage of Time appeared slightly embarrassed for once, "The way a skeletal creature of the first tier that hasn’t been refined walks is indeed unsightly. Sorry to make you both laugh."

The protagonist and Yao Qing didn’t speak.

The little skeleton was making its way through.

Their eyes were fixed on the pale skeleton.

They wanted to know if the Sage of Time’s judgment was correct, and to gauge the overall strength of the Sage of Time based on the skeleton’s performance.

Very quickly, the little skeleton reached the edge of the Guardian Array.

Then it stepped right in.

"It actually worked?" Yao Qing was taken aback.

The Sage of Time snapped his fingers, and the little skeleton disappeared immediately.

Yao Qing turned back in confusion, "Where did you send that skeleton?"

The Sage of Time did not speak.

His face was no longer relaxed but serious for the first time.

"That undead wasn’t sent away by me," the Sage of Time shook his head and said.

"After that undead entered the Array, my sense of it weakened."

"I tried to control it to send it back, but the connection was directly severed."

The Sage of Time said seriously, "That undead was snatched away by someone!"

The protagonist shook his head, "That skeleton wasn’t snatched away; it had already entered the Great River Secret Realm. What severed your connection was the Array for entering the Secret Realm."

The Sage of Time was very surprised, "It was yet another Array?"

The Sage of Time wanted to say more, but the protagonist raised his hand to interrupt, impatiently saying, "Alright, don’t waste time! Since we’ve already determined the Guardian Array’s threshold, can’t we get in now?"

The Sage of Time nodded and smiled, "Naturally."

Then, he flicked his finger, and a rainbow light inflated like a balloon, wrapping the protagonist and Yao Qing inside.

"Don’t resist."

The Sage of Time said, shifting his form to enter the bubble, which then floated onward, drifting into the Guardian Array.

"We’re in!"

Yao Qing turned back to look at the location of the Array behind them, his eyes flashing with a peculiar sheen.

"How did you do it?" Yao Qing asked the Sage of Time.

The Sage of Time, appearing without any reservation or worry about Yao Qing probing, answered every question.

He smiled and explained, "I used my Divine Soul to simulate a bubble which externally sensed as a first-tier wandering soul. Since a first-tier undead can enter this Array, then so can this wandering soul."

The Sage of Time had just gotten halfway through his sentence when a terrifying force surged over.

The rainbow sphere barely had time to react as it was pulled into the Secret Realm.

After a dizzying spin, the rainbow sphere finally settled.

Perhaps due to bringing the two into the Secret Realm, particularly since the protagonist’s cultivation level was too high, the entrance ruling of the Secret Realm triggered, which greatly consumed the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul.

By the time the three entered the Secret Realm, the rainbow sphere had dimmed to a thin layer of light.

The Sage of Time looked as pale as paper, his body swaying as if he was going to faint.

"What’s wrong with him?" Yao Qing asked the protagonist.

The protagonist’s lips curved slightly.

He had deliberately not told the Sage of Time that the entrance to the Great River Secret Realm had a cultivation restriction, and different cultivation levels entered different areas of the Secret Realm.

The Sage of Time’s Divine Soul, even if it could bypass the Guardian Array, certainly couldn’t deceive the Secret Realm entrance’s Array.

The protagonist is Tier Ten Void Realm, so for the Sage of Time to use its Divine Soul to help him pass would predictably come at a great cost.

Indeed.

The protagonist’s guess was correct; the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul, being weak, was now greatly consumed, making it hard to maintain even basic composure.

The Sage of Time’s expression fluctuated, his eyes constantly changing with various glimmers.

Evidently, the beings inside, Su Qianqian and Yao Su, also noticed the Sage of Time’s abnormality and were vying for control over the body with him.

"It’s time to end this!"

The protagonist, not wanting to waste time, struck a palm toward the Sage of Time.

He suddenly had a realization.

Having already entered the Great River Secret Realm, of what use was the Ancient Secret Treasure?

Too many coveted the Ancient Secret Treasure, and possessing it was too conspicuous.

The Great River Secret Realm was different.

The protagonist was Tier Ten Void Realm.

If he cleared out the Secret Realm, even the Great Xia’s Imperial Guard couldn’t stop him.

Moreover, he didn’t risk being targeted by Otherworld beings.

Thus, the Sage of Time was unnecessary.

Likewise, Su Qianqian and Yao Su had to die.

The protagonist swung his palm, his expression suddenly changing, quickly turning his head towards the stone mountain beside him.

"Who’s there? Come out!"

"Oh, I’ve been discovered."

Linglong stepped out from behind the stone mountain, hands behind her back and a playful smile on her face.

Trailing closely behind her, like a little maid, was the Four Seas Dragon Race’s little princess, Xu Yue’Er.

Linglong waved at the protagonist with a smile, indicating he could continue.

"I’m just passing by, just pretend I don’t exist."
