Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 184 The Secret Realm Opens, Reclusive Sects
Su Yu smiled and said to Chu Xinyue:

"I've thought about our plan again before this trip, and I think it needs to be modified. Facing the three major guilds at once is too risky, since my transformation has a cooldown. I think it would be better to just target the Heavenly Gu Guild and publicly declare that we want to replace them."

"Then negotiate with the Poison Dragon Gang and the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang, and take over the territory of the Heavenly Gu Society, replacing the Heavenly Gu Society and becoming the three new major gangs on Ten Thousand Poisons Island."

Chu Xinyue thought for a moment, then nodded, then shook her head and said:
"The idea is good, but the Poison Dragon Gang and the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang will most likely not agree."

“Your dragon transformation poses too great a threat. Once we replace the Heavenly Gu Society, take over their territory, absorb their population and develop, and with the support of the Canglan Society, we will be able to take on two of them at once. They definitely won’t agree.”

"Should we continue with the original plan?"

At this moment, the second brother, Su Huan, spoke up:
"Actually, you had no choice. When your sister-in-law and I brought people here, neither you nor the three major guilds had a choice. They would definitely join forces to push us into the sea."

"But you don't need to worry too much. Although the three major guilds are strong, my Canglan Guild is not to be trifled with either."

"Although we can only bring a portion of our forces here, it's just for defense. Even if the three major guilds come out in full force, we can still hold them off."

"Besides, now that you have demonstrated your power and destroyed the headquarters of the Heavenly Gu Society, they will definitely be hesitant to act rashly. They may not dare to launch a full-scale attack before they understand the specifics of your transformation."

After saying all this, the second brother suddenly laughed:
"Of course, although the three major guilds will most likely unite, your idea can also be implemented at the same time. What if they are afraid, believe it, or compromise? It's not impossible."

"I understand. I'll send someone to contact the two major guilds later."

"Dong dong!"

A sudden knock on the door interrupted their discussion. Chu Xiaoyu pushed the door open, holding a form, and said excitedly:

"The supplies have been inventoried."

All eyes turned to her, and Su Yu asked with a smile:
"how many."

"We've struck it rich this time. The ordinary warehouse is mostly filled with basic materials, mainly for refining flying swords and magic weapons below the sixth rank, materials for various life professions, a large number of Gu worms of all types, and a batch of finished flying swords and magic weapons below the sixth rank. The total value is no less than 150,000 gold."

"The supplies in the inner warehouse are similar, but more valuable. The Gu worms are all rare finished products, including tens of thousands of finished Golden-Winged Flying Centipedes."

"Besides that, there are three seventh-tier magic treasures and a seventh-tier flying sword inside, but they are all ordinary, not any of them are of high quality."

"Although the supplies in the inner warehouse are fewer, their overall value is high, with a total value of no less than 120,000 gold."

After listening to the introduction, Su Yu couldn't help but click her tongue and say:
"Good heavens, the total value is now 270,000 gold."

"Only half of the inner treasury has been moved. Wouldn't it be worth 300,000 gold if the whole thing were moved?"

Second Brother laughed:

"You think this is a large guild warehouse, okay?"

Chu Xiaoyu handed the form to Chu Xinyue and asked:

"President, how should we divide these supplies?"

Chu Xinyue took the form and handed it directly to Su Yu, saying:
"No need to divide it. Just follow the default rule. This was brought by the second guild, so it all belongs to the second guild. Then just hand it over according to the guild's regulations."

Su Yu nodded:

"can."

The so-called default rule of the guild is that all the materials obtained by each team outside belong to them, but a portion of them need to be handed over to the guild warehouse according to regulations.

50% of the squadron's income is handed over to the brigade, and the remainder is kept for its own use.

50% of the team's income is handed over to the team, and the remainder is kept for their own use.

30% of the team's income is handed over to the guild, and the rest is kept for their own use.

The 30% that was handed over to the guild did not belong to Chu Xinyue; it was in the guild warehouse, and all members of the guild could exchange for it.

After the materials were handed over, the Second Regiment's warehouse would contain various materials worth a total of 18.9 gold, including two seventh-tier magic weapons and a seventh-tier flying sword, instantly filling the warehouse.

"Damn it, if the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang and the Poison Dragon Gang still don't know when to stop and stick to their guns, then we'll go and take advantage of them too."

"By combining the resources of the three major guilds, we can immediately fill the gap in the guild's foundation."

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

"I hope you can stick to your guns to the end."

After this battle, there were no more battles. With the Heavenly Gu Society gone, other smaller guilds dared not challenge them.

In the afternoon, Second Sister-in-law arrived with tens of thousands of people, along with nearly two thousand craftsmen and a large amount of supplies obtained from the Heavenly Gu Society. They began to build a fixed city and defenses in the canyon.

The most important thing is the city-protecting formation. If this thing can be built, and the Four Symbols Thunder God Formation from the original headquarters can be moved here, even without the support of the Canglan Guild, the Thousand Star Palace alone can withstand the siege of the three major guilds.

So much time has passed, and the secret realm still hasn't opened. However, we can clearly feel the spatial fluctuations getting stronger and stronger, so it's estimated that it will open in another day.

Everyone was looking forward to it, hoping to find good items in the secret realm.

While they were making their preparations, undercurrents were stirring throughout Ten Thousand Poisons Island.

When Yue Jingfeng, the guild leader of the Heavenly Gu Society, returned and saw the destroyed city-protecting formation and the guild warehouse that had been mostly looted, he almost fainted. Enraged, he immediately contacted the leaders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang and the Poison Dragon Gang, demanding that they fulfill their original agreement and work together to drive the Canglan Society, which had overstepped its bounds, off the island.

However, the Poison Gang and Poison Dragon Gang, who are usually quick to respond, did not agree immediately this time. Instead, they said they needed to find out more about the specific situation and dismissed him.

Yue Jingfeng, having shut down the communication, stomped his foot, unleashing a burst of violent magical power that shattered the stone hall into pieces, startling many people nearby.

Vice President Zhao Jianshen swept away the falling roof debris with a wave of his hand and asked in a deep voice:
"Don't they agree?"

Yue Jingfeng took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "They said they need to discuss it."

Another vice president, Lu Wei, said coldly:

“They’re definitely scared. They won’t take any risks until they figure out the specifics of Su Yu’s transformation, the vice president of the Thousand Stars Hall.”

"This is inevitable."

Yue Jingfeng had forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice:

"Not only them, but we are the same. Until we figure out his transformation ability, we also have to endure it."

The three of them were silent.

After a long while, Yue Jingfeng said:

"Send people to inquire about their situation and determine whether it is a one-time use or a supernatural power that can be continuously transformed."

Lu Wei asked:

"What if it's a supernatural power that allows for continuous transformation?"

Yue Jingfeng glanced at him, and said through gritted teeth, word by word:

"Then we'll accept our defeat."

"Abandon this foundation and start afresh somewhere else."

Zhao Jianshen opened his mouth, and after a long while, he asked:
"Aren't you going to seek cooperation with the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang and the Poison Dragon Society?"

Yue Jingfeng said coldly:
"There's no need. If it were a supernatural ability that allowed them to constantly transform, do you think they could have stayed any longer?"

"Earth Immortal combat power, even if it is only a limited Earth Immortal combat power, is still extraordinary. Ten Thousand Poison Island and the surrounding area will be their territory. Other forces will either merge into them or leave. There will be no third option."

Besides the Heavenly Gu Society, the leaders of the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang and the Poison Dragon Gang were also speechless and worried.

They were stunned when they received the news, and their first reaction was to send someone to verify its authenticity.

It has now been confirmed that the dragon is real; too many people in Tiangu City witnessed it, so it couldn't have been faked.

The next thing to confirm is whether this transformation is a one-time event or a regular occurrence. If it's a regular occurrence...
Time passed, and early the next morning, Su Yu received a message from her subordinates stationed in the secret realm:
"Captain, the secret realm is about to open."

He rushed over immediately and found that everyone else had arrived and were gathered at the entrance of the secret realm, waiting.

At this moment, the space at the entrance to the secret realm fluctuated violently, with layers of fluctuations rising and falling like waves. In the depths of that shimmering space, a portal was slowly opening, and surging spiritual energy was pouring out from the portal.

At this time, a large number of guild members had gathered near the secret realm and set up eight large formations: four Heavenly Blazing Fire Formations and four Azure Water Cold Tide Formations.

"Hopefully, it contains a wealth of resources."

As time went by, the gate to the secret realm gradually opened, until at a certain moment, an invisible spatial fluctuation exploded, and the gate to the secret realm was fully formed.

"opened."

Su Yu immediately gave the order:
"First exploration team, ready to go. Attention."

Before he could finish speaking, figures suddenly appeared at the entrance to the secret realm, followed by two rogue immortals rushing out of the realm.

Fire Spirit Elder (Terrifying): Level 136, Elder of the Five Elements Sect.

Attributes: 32 HP, 38 MP, 8600 Attack Power, 3500 km/h Speed: Lesser Five Elements True Scripture (Mysterious), Five Elements Thunder Technique, Five Elements Fire Escape, Taibai Golden Blade Forbidden, Earth Extreme Blazing Flame Forbidden, Xu Earth Yellow Sand Forbidden.

Elder Jinling (Terrifying): Level 138, Elder of the Five Elements Sect.

Attributes: 35 HP, 41 MP, 9200 Attack Power, 3500 km/h Speed: Lesser Five Elements True Scripture (Mysterious), Five Elements Thunder Technique, Five Elements Golden Light Escape, Taibai Golden Blade Restriction, Earth Extreme Blazing Flame Restriction, Six Ding Green Wood Restriction.

"???"

A bunch of question marks popped into everyone's head.

Everyone considered a whole host of possibilities, including the possibility that it might contain various poisons, monster bosses, or sealed demons, but no one expected that two rogue cultivators from different sects would jump out from inside.

Su Yu's mind raced, and she made a decision almost instantly, shouting:

"Don't make a move yet."

Upon emerging and seeing the densely packed crowd outside, the two wandering immortals instinctively activated their magical treasures for protection, but instead of attacking, they clasped their hands and asked:

"I am Elder Jinling of the Five Elements Sect. May I ask where you all reside in your immortal realms?"

Su Yu returned the salute with clasped hands and said in a deep voice:

"I am Su Yu, a core disciple of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect on Blue Mountain Island. Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

"Xuanzhen Immortal Sect?"

Elder Jinling and Elder Huoling exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion:

"I've only heard of the Xuanzhen Sect. It seems that none of the sects on Blue Mountain Island use the name Xuanzhen."

The two rogue immortals whispered to each other for a moment, then Elder Jinling clasped his hands in greeting again and asked:
"Our Five Elements Sect has been living in seclusion within the cave for many years, unaware of the changes in this world. May I ask, young friend, which immortal sect currently rules Blue Mountain Island?"
