In Blue Star Online, I can see the career advancement path.

A flash of light appeared, and the geniuses of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, the Black Soul Clan, and others appeared in the arena.

These people, whom everyone thought were surely dead, all came out unharmed!

This left everyone stunned.

Didn't we agree that Shen Xi, Yan Xiao, and Jia Xiu would never let the Tianlong Clan and the Black Soul Clan go in the secret realm?

How come both races have all come out without missing a single person?

Everyone blinked, a deep sense of doubt rising in their hearts.

Even Ao Ling and the leader of the Black Soul Clan were greatly surprised.

Logically speaking, under the pursuit of three half-step destruction realm experts, their own prodigies should have suffered heavy losses. How come they all came out unscathed?

As figures reappeared amidst the radiant light of the secret realm, everyone was astonished to discover something.

That is to say, not a single person from the three races of God, Yama, and Machine came out.

This……

Everyone sensed that something was wrong.

However, the light was still flashing, and it was too early to draw conclusions, so no one spoke. Everyone was watching nervously to see if any new figures would appear in the arena.

A moment later, the radiance completely dissipated, and the barrier of the Wutong Secret Realm also dimmed completely.

The leaders of the three races—the God Race, the Yama Race, and the Machine Race—stared blankly at this scene.

What about people?

Where are all the geniuses of my three clans?

In particular, Shen Xi, Yan Xiao, and Jia Xiu were genuine half-step destruction cultivators. How could they have perished so easily in the secret realm?

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Why didn't our clan's god Xi come out?!" The leader of the god clan roared in disbelief.

The leaders of the Yama Clan and the Mechanical Clan were not much better off, both staring in disbelief at the completely dimmed light screen.

No one speaks.

A moment later, a clear, cold voice reached the ears of the three.

"Heh, aren't you supposed to have a thorough understanding of the rules of the secret realm? Don't you know that once the light barrier of the secret realm completely dims, the secret realm is completely sealed off? There's only one reason why some people haven't come out: they perished within the secret realm."

Ao Ling's lips curled up as she looked at the three races with a look of satisfaction!

The Black Soul Clan naturally wouldn't let go of this excellent opportunity to unleash their power. "Tsk tsk tsk, it seems your three half-step Annihilation Realm cultivators, whom you painstakingly nurtured, have perished in the secret realm. This is truly... incredibly gratifying!"

Ao Ling and the Black Soul Clan leader's words were like knives piercing the hearts of the three clans!

In order to ensure that Shenxi, Yanxiao, and Jiaxiu could evade the rules of the secret realm and also keep everyone in the dark about the fact that they were already on the verge of destruction, they expended an enormous amount of effort!

It can be said that they have been planning for this secret realm for decades!

However, decades of hard work not only failed to yield rich rewards, but even resulted in the loss of all their initial capital!

The hearts of all three races are bleeding!

"What on earth happened? How could all the prodigies of our three races be dead?!" The leader of the Divine Race was filled with murderous intent, his terrifying gaze sweeping over the crowd!

Those whose gaze swept over him all showed unnatural expressions.

Upon seeing this, the leaders of the three races' eyes flickered slightly.

It seems there's a lot more to this than meets the eye; these people probably know a lot of inside information!

Just as he was about to press her for details, Ao Ling's aura suddenly surged, locking onto the leader of the divine race.

"Heh, didn't you just say that life and death, success and failure in the secret realm are all up to fate? Even if you die, it's because you're not skilled enough, so you can't blame anyone else. Why are you getting so anxious now that it's your turn?" Ao Ling's lips curled into a cold smile.

Protoss Leader: ...

He did say that, but he said it to Ao Ling, not to himself!

All of his clan's most promising talents perished in the secret realm. If he couldn't figure out what had happened, how could he face returning to his clan?!

"This is none of your business! Ao Ling, I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs!" The leader of the Divine Race spoke domineeringly, directly telling Ao Ling not to interfere!

However, Ao Ling clearly wasn't buying it, and slowly said, "None of my business? Well, what if I decide to get involved?"

She raised her jade-like finger, pointing it at the leader of the Divine Race, "No need to ask anymore, my Heavenly Dragon Clan takes responsibility for this! All the prodigies of your three races were killed by my Heavenly Dragon Clan!"

"If you're not satisfied, come at us, the Celestial Dragon Clan!"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the three race leaders suddenly turned ugly!

Ao Ling is determined to oppose him to the very end!

Just as Ao Ling was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that those who had just come out of the secret realm were looking at her with admiration.

If these people's eyes showed shock, Ao Ling could understand it.

After all, his act of taking the blame was indeed somewhat unexpected.

But when everyone looked at her with admiration, she felt something was amiss.

This feeling is like watching bystanders witness a murderer openly admitting to the crime in front of the victim.

He killed someone and then went to the family members and openly admitted that he was the one who did it.

That's incredibly brave!

It wasn't just Ao Ling who noticed this; the leaders of the three races also noticed it.

Their expressions underwent a subtle change.

They are all ancient monsters who have lived for thousands of years, how could they not see the meaning behind these people's eyes!

In other words, the murderer was indeed a member of the Celestial Dragon Clan!

The three races were enraged!

His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Ao Ling and the ten people who came out of the secret realm!

"The Celestial Dragon Clan, it really is you!"

Ao Ling also realized what was happening. She looked back at the ten members of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, and finally fixed her gaze on Jiang Shu.

She was quite clear about the strength of the other nine people. Although they were good, they had absolutely no chance of winning against a half-step destruction!

Only Jiang Shu!

This dark horse has emerged out of nowhere!

Only then would it be possible to kill three half-step Annihilation Realm experts!

Ao Ling was also deeply shocked.

Previously, the reason she sent Ao Ding to guide Jiang Shu was not because she thought Jiang Shu was particularly amazing, but to give the God King face.

But this seemingly casual investment actually brought her incredibly rich returns!

Without Jiang Shu, all the Tianlong Clan members who entered the secret realm would have been wiped out!

Furthermore, Jiang Shu's killing of the prodigies of the three major races is also a great achievement for the Heavenly Dragon Clan!

This investment was a huge success!

Then, Ao Ling withdrew her gaze and looked at the furious leaders of the three races.

"What? Just because the younger one can't win inside the secret realm, does that mean the older one can win outside?"

Ao Ling's eyes shone brightly with golden light, and she released the pressure of a half-step destruction without reservation!

Meanwhile, the Black Soul Clan leader did not falter in the slightest, silently standing beside Ao Ling and giving her the greatest support!

Seeing these two half-step destruction-level powerhouses standing together, the leaders of the three races showed a hint of apprehension in their eyes, but did not immediately make a move.

Because... even though there are three of them, taking down these two won't be so easy!

"What? If you're not going to attack, then I'm going to start." Ao Ling pressed her advantage, her eyes filled with mockery as she looked at the three races.

"When they feel they have victory in their grasp, they say things like life and death in the secret realm are determined by fate and success or failure by heaven. But after their own prodigy dies in the secret realm, they can't wait to make a move."

"Hahaha, you call yourselves royalty? You're more like dogs!"

It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting!

Ao Ling's words struck at the heart of the three races!

In the middle of the room, a man suddenly sneezed.

He was the leader of the dog clan, one of the branches of the demon race. After hearing this, he looked at Ao Ling with a resentful expression.

What did we dogs do to you?

"Ao Ling, don't push your luck! Don't think that the three of us are really afraid to make a move!" The leader of the Divine Race was directly broken by Ao Ling's attack and finally couldn't help but shout.

Just then, the leaders of the other five royal families stepped out and stared at the three of them with a deep gaze.

"We've heard about what happened in the secret realm from our own prodigies. If it weren't for the intervention of that peerless prodigy from the Heavenly Dragon Clan, everyone would have been sacrificed by the half-step Annihilation experts from your three clans."

"You want to make a move? Come on! Let's see what you can do! Your three clans are incredibly audacious and arrogant. Our five clans have no grudges against you, yet you dare to sacrifice our prodigy alive. Such actions... are a grave taboo!"

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the three races gasped in shock!

However, considering the domineering style of Shenxi and his two companions, they really thought that this matter was very likely true!

Shenxi and his group believed that as long as they killed everyone, there was absolutely no way this matter would be exposed!

However, they were all killed, and their deeds were naturally revealed.

Sensing the growing killing intent emanating from the seven people, a hint of panic appeared on the previously arrogant faces of the three.

Surrounded by seven experts of the same realm, it's no wonder they were panicked!

"Gentlemen, let's talk this out." The three men immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"We suddenly realized that what Ao Ling said made a lot of sense. In the secret realm, life and death are determined by fate and success or failure is determined by heaven. Our clan's prodigy was not as skilled as others and unfortunately lost. This is also fate. As elders, since we sent them in, we must be mentally prepared."

The three of them immediately chose to follow their hearts.

However, the crowd showed no mercy and swarmed forward, beating the three half to death!

After the beating, the seven men were still not satisfied, and one of them kicked the other.

They recalled that if the Heavenly Dragon Clan hadn't unleashed their power in the secret realm, their own prodigies would have all been sacrificed alive, and a wave of fear washed over them.

They scanned the Tianlong clan members, their gaze finally settling on Jiang Shu.

Why did everyone's gaze linger on Jiang Shu? The reason is simple: the other nine people subconsciously stood half a step behind him, and it was obvious to anyone with eyes to see who the leader was.

"Young friend, we are very grateful to you this time. Our Immortal Clan will remember this favor! If you ever need anything in the future, just let us know, and our Immortal Clan will definitely lend a hand!"

"..."

The five men patted their chests and guaranteed it.

The reason the five people were so grateful was partly because Jiang Shu had saved their prodigy's life, which was an immense favor.

On the other hand, Jiang Shu fought against three half-step supreme experts by himself. It would be absolutely beneficial to befriend such a talented young man in advance!

Jiang Shu greeted everyone with a warm smile and nodded enthusiastically, without any airs.

But this sunny smile looked rather eerie to those who had experienced the secret realm.

They clearly remembered that when Jiang Shu smiled, the enemy's fate was uncertain.

Every time Jiang Shu shows that kind of smile, it means someone is about to die.

The leader of the Black Soul Clan walked to Jiang Shu's side and said slowly, "Brother, I was a little rude to you earlier, and I sincerely apologize."

"You were able to save my Black Soul Clan's prodigy despite past grievances. My Black Soul Clan will remember this kindness! Especially for me personally, if there is anything you can do to help me, just let me know."

Hearing this, Jiang Shu blinked. He turned to look at She Hu, who was standing in the distance, and found that the other man's face was practically beaming with joy.

Actually, he wouldn't have even noticed it if the Black Soul Clan leader hadn't brought it up.

After all, his previous performance showed that his cultivation level was indeed somewhat low, so it was understandable that the Black Soul Clan was not very enthusiastic.

However, the fact that the other party apologized to him so sincerely made him feel somewhat pleased.

"It's alright, we should need your help soon." Jiang Shu patted the Black Soul Clan leader on the shoulder, but didn't say what it was about.

"Alright! We will do our utmost to help if we can!" The leader of the Black Soul Clan and the leaders of the other five clans patted their chests with great confidence and made their promises.

Jiang Shu smiled at this and didn't say anything more.

Then, Jiang Shu looked at the three leaders of the God Clan, Yama Clan, and Mechanical Clan lying on the ground and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to fight them like this?"

Hearing this, everyone laughed and explained, "They crossed the line in this matter, exploiting loopholes in the rules, sending in three half-step Annihilation cultivators, and even trying to sacrifice everyone alive. Such outrageous behavior justifies giving them a beating."

Jiang Shu blinked and said, "What I mean is... we should kill them."

Such blatant disregard for the rules meant that if I hadn't pushed myself to the limit and used all my strength to narrowly defeat Shen Xi and the other two, I and all the geniuses of your clan might have perished inside.

So, killing the three of them shouldn't be too much, right?

Those who had experienced the secret realm couldn't help but twitch their brows upon hearing Jiang Shu's words.

"Using All My Strength" and "A Narrow Victory"—the books were sold out!

One slap and a half-step is destroyed. You call that a narrow victory achieved by using all your strength?

However, the leaders of the seven clans were indeed unaware of the specific battle situation inside the secret realm. They were stunned when they saw the sunny smile on Jiang Shu's lips.

They truly had no intention of killing the leaders of the three races.

The reason is simple: if these three were really killed, the impact would be too great, and the three clans would probably go crazy. So, although many of the seven people had murderous intentions, they were still unwilling to step forward and make enemies of these three clans.

"Sigh, didn't you just ask me what my wish is? My wish is very simple: those who kill will be killed. Since the God Clan, the Yama Clan, and the Machine Clan are targeting me so much, I also want to kill the leaders of these three clans."

However, my strength is too weak, and I have the will but not the ability, so I can only watch from here.

After saying that, Jiang Shu shook his head with a slight regret.

This time, not only those who had experienced the secret realm almost lost their composure, but even the leaders of the seven clans were nearly made to laugh by Jiang Shu.

Shen Xi, Yan Xiao, and Jia Xiu in the secret realm are all half-step destruction. They may not be as experienced as the leaders of the three races, but their strength should not be underestimated!

All three of them died at Jiang Shu's hands, and Jiang Shu himself showed no obvious injuries and his breathing was extremely steady, indicating that he still had the strength to fight again.

In contrast, the leaders of the three races on the ground were not in good condition; they were practically half-dead.

And you still say you have the will but not the ability?

They were all too embarrassed to expose Jiang Shu!

However, Jiang Shu's words prompted them to think.

The main reason for not killing these three people is that no one is willing to step forward and start the fight.

But now that Jiang Shu has brought it up, if all seven of them attack together, does the other three clans really dare to cause trouble for them?

All seven were shrewd individuals, and they instantly grasped the key to the matter.

The next moment, the seven of them attacked together, completely annihilating the leaders of the God Clan, the Yama Clan, and the Mechanical Clan!

No one expected that the Wutong Secret Realm would end in this way!

At the same time, the name of a human prodigy began to circulate among all races!

However, Jiang Shu had no time to care about these things, because he had already arrived at the Heavenly Dragon Clan.

He saw the familiar face before him, scrutinized it for a long time, and finally recognized the person. He was shocked and exclaimed, "Chao, what have you been up to all this time?"

Ao Ding leaned against the wall, his face gaunt and haggard. He sighed deeply and said, "I've been overworking myself."

Jiang Shu: ...

Is the kind of hard work you're talking about really that serious?
