Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 386 I Have Something to Tell You

June 1st is not a holiday, but it is full of joy.

The snowy plains of the North.

Beneath the ice, two bumbling thieves were digging.

"Big Brother, are we really going to keep digging? Didn't you promise to take me home to sell beef skewers?"

"Shut up! Opportunities are found in danger, and only those who dare to fight will win! What future is there in selling beef?" the older brother angrily rebuked his younger brother.

"But last time you took me through a dangerous situation, we ended up in the Beast Taming Sect's prison." The younger brother complained to his older brother while digging in the ice.

"Tell me whether you begged or not. Without those six months in the labor camp, would we have reached the peak of Qi Refining Level 1 Great Perfection?" The older brother swung his pickaxe, chiseling away.

"Little brother, what good is your perfection? This is the Northern Territory. Go to any demon kindergarten and find someone who can stand up and pee; they could beat you up."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and dig!"

"Big pot..."

"what?"

"I'm hungry..."

"Sigh." The eldest brother sighed, "If you're hungry, take a fasting pill. Here, have this one, it's candy-flavored."

As he spoke, he stuffed a fasting pill into his younger brother's mouth.

"I want to eat beef..."

"Sweetie, after we finish this job, I'll take you back home and we'll eat beef every day."

As the younger brother chewed the fasting pill, a warm current flowed into his stomach, and his hands and feet, which had been frozen, warmed up again.

These two, relying on their foolish persistence and the sheer brute force of being at the peak of the first level of Qi Refining, have been digging under this layer of ice for who knows how long.

All for the sake of obtaining the secret treasure of the Northern Demon Clan.

As for where this intelligence came from, the younger brother didn't dare to ask, because the elder brother's intelligence network was top secret.

Although this intelligence network didn't work very often.

Chewing on a fasting pill, the younger brother prayed that it would work this time.

"Big brother, I just remembered something." After thinking for a while, the younger brother tugged at his older brother's sleeve.

"Brother, stop tearing it! This is snow leopard skin. Spit it out!"

“I read in the book that this secret realm is protected by magic arrays. Can the two of us manage? Let alone breaking the array, I haven’t even learned how to draw a fire-starting talisman.”

Brother, "Hey, you don't understand. As the saying goes, a magic array can protect against experts but not novices, the elderly, and children."

"I'm a kid, so are you an old man or a noob?" the underling asked without any sense of self-awareness.

"Why do you have so many questions? If you have something to say, don't say it out loud. Don't you understand the importance of leaving things unsaid?"

The older brother gave the younger brother another big slap in the face.

"Let me finish speaking, and don't interrupt."

"Oh."

"Have you forgotten what it says in the book? After the protagonist, who knows nothing, falls off a cliff, there will definitely be a secret realm below, and there will definitely be an old man in the secret realm."

"Think again about how the prison guards taught you in the labor camp: we are the protagonists of our own lives!"

"So you understand now, this secret realm was reserved for us!"
"Besides, even if there really is a magic array, don't I still have you? Otherwise, why would I have brought you here?"

"Huh?" It took the simple-minded younger brother a long time to realize that something was wrong.

"What do you mean, big brother?"

"What I mean is, if I step into a trap ahead, I'll need you to help me out, brother! That's what I meant," the older brother quickly added.

"Really?"

"real!"

"Hehe, you're so good to me, big brother."

"That is required!"

After resting enough, the two brothers picked up the folding iron shovels they had bought from the Thousand Machine Pavilion and began digging diligently.

Half an hour later, the ice in front of them was smashed open, and a metal door appeared in front of the two brothers.

"A big pot! This is it?"

The younger brother excitedly pounced on it, grabbing the iron gate with his hands.

The elder brother calmly stepped back, and only after seeing that his younger brother had not suddenly died did he breathe a sigh of relief and step forward to examine the iron gate.

This was his first time exploring for treasure, and he had no idea what the true secret realm looked like.

There were no mechanisms on the iron gate, and after fiddling with it for a bit, the two of them pushed it open.

Without saying a word, the younger brother crawled inside.

The older brother thought for a moment and then followed him inside.

They continued forward, but the corridor grew narrower and narrower, and towards the end, the two had to crawl.

"Big brother, why don't we go back? I'm scared." The younger brother started to back out again.

"Don't be afraid. As the saying goes, 'At first, the narrowest passage is barely passable, but after a few more steps, it will suddenly open up.'" The older brother said, patting his younger brother's bottom to signal him to hurry up.

"Big brother..."

"What do you want to do again?"

"I need to fart... Ah, it's out."

&@#%

After a brief hiccup, the two climbed for a while longer, and the path ahead indeed became wider, just as the older brother had said.

After they were able to straighten up, the two saw an iron gate.

"Is this the place?"

"It should be, we'll open it together."

"one two Three!"

The iron gate was pushed open, and the two of them were thrown out by inertia. Warmth and noise rushed towards them. Looking at the scenery of this so-called 'secret realm', the younger brother was a little confused.

"Big brother, why are there so many people in this secret realm?" "I don't know..." The older brother looked up at the display board above his head, staring blankly.

[Demon Clan History Exhibition Area, Hall 1]

The hall was packed with people: some taking photos with small walnuts, others livestreaming, young couples holding hands and kissing, knowledgeable guys standing in front of the booth bragging, and people pulling their kids into a corner to spank them.

It’s not lively.

The two, who harbored lofty ideals, found themselves in an awkward situation, unsure whether to retreat or advance.

Fortunately, someone soon pointed them in the right direction.

"Hey, you two, what are you doing standing there? Show me your tickets." A monk with a red armband on his arm stepped forward.

Before the eldest brother could even argue, the younger brother spoke up, "What entrance ticket? Why would you need an entrance ticket to enter a secret realm? Isn't this secret realm open to anyone—children, the elderly, and noobs?"

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, the staff member of the demon museum immediately understood. With a flick of his wrist, an iron chain appeared in his hand.

"People over 800 years old and children under 8 years old do get in for free, but idiots and morons don't. You're fare evading, so come with me!"

The chains rattled as they fastened themselves to the two fare evaders.

The moment the silver bracelet was hung up, his peak Qi Refining Realm was instantly suppressed.

The two were led away from the bustling museum.

The elder brother turned around and saw a sign hanging on the gate behind him, which was painted with a dragon.

[White Emperor City Demon Clan Museum]

"Where...where is this?" the older brother asked.

"This is the new Baidi City, the underground part. The above-ground part is still under construction. If you two really want to make money, go there and sign up. When you make money and want to come here, remember to buy tickets."

The monk pointed to a crystal screen by the roadside and said.

The crystal screen is repeatedly playing the future plans for the new Baidi City.

The former system home has been completely moved, leaving behind an empty city that has become the new home of the demon race. At the same time, the new White Emperor City is under construction on the ground.

This time, there are no restrictions on Baidi City; anyone can come if they want.

The older brother was a bit confused. How come the world had changed so much after he had been digging for ice underground for a while?

"Then... what's going on here?" Realizing he had been tricked, the older brother quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out a map.

"It's a fake map, drawn by the head of Longhu Mountain. It's a souvenir for kids. Go over there and buy as many as you want," the cultivator said, pointing to a souvenir shop on the other side of the road.

The events in the North were too large to be concealed.

Some secrets are better sold for money than kept secret.

Moreover, the demon race in the Northern Territory does indeed need to find something to do to alleviate the anxiety caused by too much information.

Moving, building a house, and live streaming are all pretty good.

While the two bumbling thieves were digging for ice, Yuqing, along with her beloved niece Baitao, transformed into a superstar and hosted several live streams.

Instead of dancing, they used a fake mystery-hunting approach to reveal some half-true, half-false secrets about the demon race to the public.

Of course, Zhang Ze's story was not revealed; he didn't want to be famous right now.

And there are quite a few things going on at home right now.

……

Qianji Pavilion.

Zhang Ze, who had finally returned home, was comforting A Li.

Ah Li's butt was glued to the ground, and no matter how much she tried to move it, it wouldn't budge, which made her very upset.

The matter of the square pig could not be kept secret, and Ah Li felt it was a great disgrace, so she ignored Zhang Ze.

"Never mind, I'll come see you again later. If you're hungry, help yourself to something to eat. I've put the food on the shelf."

After leaving the room, Zhang Ze walked towards the Qinghe Riverbank.

The ley lines of the Eastern Continent were connected by the Hundred Demon Sect, and the plain along the Qinghe River was the center.

The System Home has been relocated there, and a new City of a Thousand Machines is under construction, with it at its core.

Bypassing the outer construction site and arriving at the core area that had been completed, Zhang Ze saw his mentor, Lao Li, acting as a makeshift security guard.

After exchanging greetings, Zhang Ze asked, "Where is my junior sister?"

"It's inside." After saying that, Old Li, who was drinking tea, glanced at his apprentice and advised, "Don't learn from that fat old man Wang Buyu. Be more proper. You... never mind, there's no point in saying more. Hurry up and go in."

With practiced ease, after bidding farewell to his master, Zhang Ze entered the relocated System Home, passed through the corridor, and arrived at the archives room, which had now resumed operation.

As Zhang Ze pushed open the door, he felt a buzzing in his ears.

It's noisy……

On the left, a bunch of Lily, Egg, the old man, and all the other star gods, all glowing with golden light, stood together, chattering away incessantly.

On the right, Xiangxiang, in projection form, and Xiaoxuan, in stone form, stood together, arguing endlessly with the same face. Around them, the Big-Headed Taoist was divided into two factions, also arguing incessantly.

The one behind him is Old Tang, who is arguing with someone while holding a small walnut. He is surrounded by a circle of sword spirits and many magical artifacts.

And many rotten princesses.

The noisiest people and things in the entire Thousand Machine Pavilion gathered here.

Zhang Ze shielded his hearing and searched around inside. He quickly found his junior sister in a corner, who was also shielding her hearing, sitting cross-legged in meditation, looking dignified and solemn.

Zhang Ze stepped forward, patted Chen Qin, and gestured for her to come out with him.

After closing the door to the archives, the two released the restraints placed on their ears and breathed a sigh of relief.

"follow me."

"Ah."

Zhang Ze walked towards the larger hall filled with cubicles deeper inside the System House.

It was quiet there.

As they reached the entrance of the hall, Zhang Ze and his junior sister spoke at the same time.

"I need to talk to you about something."
