Chapter 617: Taking sides
"Anything is fine," Chen Guan said casually.

He no longer cares about revealing his identity. Now that he has solved the problem of vital energy, he can basically do whatever he wants in the cave. It doesn't matter if others know that Zi Donglai is Chen Guan.

He just wanted to know where the flaw was that Qingya had noticed.

Qingya frowned slightly upon seeing Chen Guan's attitude.

She had intended to use this secret to make a deal with Chen Guan, but it seemed that this bargaining chip wasn't as important as she had imagined.

"Captain Chen, would you be interested in making a deal with me?" Qingya said with a smile.

"What kind of deal?" Chen Guan asked.

“If you came here for the Dragon Blood Grass, you may be disappointed this time. The exchange item prepared by the Divine Martial King is something Jin Taohua cannot refuse,” Qingya said.

"What has the Divine Martial King prepared?" Chen Guan asked curiously. What kind of thing could he possibly have that someone like Jin Taohua couldn't refuse?

"This all started with why Jin Taohua came to Tianyuan Sea. She is a mortal enemy of the Gong family, one of the ten great families. The reason she hasn't reached the seventh level of awakening all these years is because once she reaches the seventh level, it will be too easy for the Gong family to cause her trouble, whether she goes to the Great Cave Heaven or the Divine Continent."

"But if she stays in the 6th Sense forever, she will never be qualified to compete with the Gong family."

"At present, Jin Taohua only has one way to break the deadlock, which is to enter the Great Cave Heaven, but not to go to human cities."

“This is difficult,” Chen Guan said.

"It's not just difficult; for a cultivator who has just reached the seventh level of enlightenment, surviving in the Great Cave Heaven without relying on human cities is almost impossible."

“Greater cave heavens are different from other cave heavens. The spirits there possess all sorts of secret laws. If you accidentally violate a secret law, you won’t even know how you died. Only within human cities can one be free from the influence of secret laws.”

"Without a city as a refuge, even the strongest human would find it difficult to guarantee that he would not be affected by the secret laws. Even someone as strong as Jin Taohua would probably find it difficult to survive alone in the area of ​​the secret spirits."

"If Jin Taohua wants to enter the Great Cave Heaven, there is only one way: she must make the secret spirits of the Great Cave Heaven not treat her as a human so that she can blend in among them."

"The reason why Jin Taohua risked leaving Cangwu Cave Heaven to come to Tianyuan Sea is because there are some special products and secret techniques in Tianyuan Sea that can help her achieve the effect of concealment."

"However, relying solely on secret techniques is not necessarily safe. Therefore, she also needs a secret law of disguise or concealment. The thing that the Divine Martial King prepared can help Jin Taohua condense a secret law of disguise when she reaches the seventh level of awakening. In this way, Jin Taohua can rest easy within the Great Cave Heaven."

"With the secret law of disguise, one can move freely within the Great Cave Heaven even without the protection of human cities."

"With such a good thing, why doesn't the Divine Martial King use it himself? The demon needs this kind of disguise ability more than Jin Taohua. Without this kind of disguise ability, the demon would have no chance to enter the Great Cave Heaven." Chen Guan felt that this was a bit unreasonable.

Qingya said, "The Divine Martial King is no ordinary demon. His talent is the Divine Dragon Body. In addition, he used a true dragon bloodline item when he advanced. If he can obtain the Dragon Blood Grass to help him complete the Seventh Awakening, there will be a high chance that he will realize the True Dragon Emperor's Secret Law, which can make him immune to various secret laws and rules, and is even more powerful than the disguise ability. Therefore, he is determined to obtain the Dragon Blood Grass."

Chen Guan nodded slightly; Qingya's words made a lot of sense.

When a cultivator reaches the seventh stage of enlightenment, they can condense a secret law. This so-called secret law is actually a kind of power of rules, but this power of rules may be different from ordinary rules of heaven and earth, and is a kind of rule that is independent of the basic rules.

For example, there is a secret law called "Immunity to Swords," which makes a person immune to all sword damage; no sword can harm them.

There are also some offensive Arcane Laws, such as "Thunderbolt Arcane Law" and "Burning Fire Damage", which are relatively common Arcane Laws that will add lightning or fire damage to attacks.

There are also some special ones, such as the very famous Scarecrow Mystic Law. When using this mystic law, the humans and spirits that the eye is looking at cannot move, otherwise they will be killed directly by the power of the Scarecrow Mystic Law.

Various bizarre and mysterious rules are impossible to guard against, making it very difficult for a person to survive in the Great Cave Heaven, because you never know when you might violate some special rules and die without even knowing how.

The True Dragon Emperor's Secret Law, a secret law that can grant immunity to other secret laws, is undoubtedly an incredibly powerful existence. No wonder the Divine Martial King would go to any lengths to obtain the Dragon Blood Grass.

"Tell me about your transactions," Chen Guan said, intrigued.

"The Divine Martial King's Divine Martial Legion is heading towards Mei City. If you leave now, you still have a chance to escape. If you want to finish the auction before leaving, it will be too late, and you will definitely be surrounded by the Divine Martial Legion," Qingya said.

"He dares to let the Divine Martial Legion enter Mei City? Does he really not take Mei Sheng seriously?" Chen Guan was somewhat skeptical.

Mei Sheng was able to establish a city like Mei City in a place like Tianyuan Sea, and that's not just based on empty fame. He himself is extremely powerful and can also command the secret spirits of Tianyuan Sea. The Divine Martial Legion might not be able to gain an advantage.

“The Divine Martial Legion can choose not to enter Mei City, but the Divine Martial King can kick you out of Mei City.” Qingya explained, “In fact, the Divine Martial King has already reached an agreement with Mei Sheng. After the auction results are announced, Mei Sheng will ask you to leave Mei City.”

“If Mei Sheng does this, isn’t he ruining his own reputation? Who will dare to trade in Mei City in the future?” Chen Guan frowned.

Mei City holds a superior position because it does not intervene in the three-way battle between humans, demons, and mystical spirits, making it a permanently neutral city.

If Mei Sheng were to drive him away now, wouldn't that mean he was choosing to side with the demons?

Qingya laughed and said, "In the end, Plum Saint is nothing more than a mysterious spirit. Although he has some wisdom, he is still a beast. How would he know anything about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame? As for reputation, he will protect it if it is beneficial to him, but if it is not beneficial to him, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not."

"The demons' influence in the cave is expanding rapidly. Anyone can see that the demons will eventually prevail over the humans. It is normal for Mei Sheng to side with the demons."

Chen Guan nodded, Qingya's words made a lot of sense. In the end, Mei Sheng was nothing more than a beast, so how could one expect him to be absolutely neutral and fair?

"Captain Chen, if you want to stay until the end of the auction, I have a way to help you get out unscathed. All you need to do me is a small favor," Qingya said with a smile.

"What can I do for you?" Chen Guan asked curiously.

"Stealing the secret laws of the True Dragon Emperor of the Divine Martial King." Qingya's words made Chen Guan's eyes narrow slightly.
