At this moment, inside the Forbidden City, Li Huowang, standing beside Zhu Qian, spoke with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qian smiled.

“That’s right, we are indeed going to the Carlos region.”

"And the closest passage from Kyoto to the Carlos region is inside the Forbidden City."

Hearing this, Li Huowang was somewhat surprised.

Although Li Huowang knew that the Eastern Alliance and the Elf World had forty-eight interconnected secret realms.

But in Li Huowang's imagination, shouldn't the secret realm passages all be in the wild?

Now Zhu Qian is actually saying that the secret passage is actually inside the Forbidden City, which is protected by the state...

This naturally left Li Huowang speechless.

Surprised?

"That's how I felt when I first found out."

Seeing Li Huowang's somewhat surprised expression, Zhu Qian chuckled.

While Li Huowang and Zhu Qian were chatting and laughing.

On the ancient clock tower in the distance, Lin Nian, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, seemed to sense something...

She slowly opened her eyes, then activated her superpowers and looked into the distance.

After a moment, Lin Nian frowned slightly, a look of disbelief in her eyes.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "This is..."

"The aura of superpowers..."

"Both of the men who came with King Zhu had it on them."

"Could it be that both of them are superpowered?"

At this moment, Lin Nian no longer had the mind to meditate. With a thought, she stood up gracefully, just like an immortal in the legends of the Eastern Huang Kingdom.

When Lin Nian suddenly stood up, Lu Youyou, who had just been chatting with Shen Suifeng, noticed it immediately.

"Sister Lin Nian, are you finally done with your meditation session?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Nian did not respond to Lu Youyou, but instead looked towards the west of the clock tower.

Then he slowly said, "No, we need to wait for someone who has already arrived."

Hearing this, Lu Youyou was taken aback, and then she followed Lin Nian's gaze and looked into the distance.

Then Lu Youyou saw three people walking towards her in the distance.

Of the three, Lu Youyou knew two of them.

The first one is naturally Zhu Qian, and the other is Li Huowang, the junior student Lu Youyou has seen countless times on her phone.

However, when Lu Youyou looked at the girl following Li Huowang, she became somewhat curious.

"Why is there another girl here?"

"He still looks like a minor..."

"Brother Shen, is she also part of our exploration team?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Suifeng nodded.

"Yes, that girl's name is Tia."

“I don’t know her background either, but she’s been by Li Huowang’s side ever since I met him.”

"As for why she joined the expedition, I'm not quite sure either, but it was an order given by Elder Ou."

What orders did Old Master Ou issue?

The three people present naturally knew who Old Master Ou was.

That's a legendary trainer from the Eastern Empire.

What puzzled Lu Youyou was...

The girl next to Li Huowang looks like she's not even an adult yet!

Why would Old Master Ou let her go with him to such a dangerous underground palace?

Just as Lu Youyou was wondering, Lin Nian's voice rang out from the side.

"Youyou, remember not to mess with that girl..."

"She...you can't afford to mess with her."

Upon hearing this, Lu Youyou looked at Lin Nian beside her with some confusion.

It was obvious she didn't understand why Lin Nian said that...

Because in her opinion, wasn't the girl following Li Huowang quite ordinary?

Besides, I'm not the kind of person who likes to bully others, am I?

I just like opening little gadgets!

Is there any need to make such a big deal out of it?

However, despite saying that, Lu Youyou also developed a strong curiosity about Tia.

As Lu Youyou looked at Tia with curiosity, she also uttered a sound that only she could hear.

"Dad, do you think this little girl is really as amazing as Sister Lin Nian said?"

……

At the same time, Li Huowang and Tia followed Zhu Qian to an ancient clock tower.

“Nephew, the secret realm connecting to the Carlos region is inside that clock tower.”

As he spoke, Zhu Qian pointed to the clock tower in front of Li Huowang.

Li Huowang had already noticed this clock tower.

The reason he noticed it wasn't because Li Huowang realized this place was a secret realm...

Instead, he sensed Shen Suifeng and his group above the clock tower.

Just then, two figures, one in black and one in white, suddenly leaped down from the clock tower.

These two people are none other than Lin Nian and Lu Youyou.

As a superpowered individual, Lin Nian possesses superpowers at the Heavenly King level, which naturally enables her to fly.

But Lu Youyou is clearly just an ordinary person...

It's rather creepy that she can jump from mid-air.

However, Li Huowang was not surprised by this, because he had already seen a spirit appear above Lu Youyou.

【Duolong Baruto】

【Personality: Male】

[Attribute: Dragon, Ghost]

[Growth Level: lv88 (Late Champion Stage)]

……

That's right, it was thanks to the help of this Dragon Balut that Lu Youyou was able to leap down from mid-air.

At this moment, Shen Suifeng, who was on the clock tower, was speechless when he saw this scene.

Good grief, you two both flew down.

So you're leaving me, a complete idiot, to walk on my legs?

You're showing off without even including me?

I am, after all, the nominal leader of the Ten Heroes of Donghuang!

Although he was somewhat speechless, Shen Suifeng still hurried down from the clock tower.

Just as Shen Suifeng descended the clock tower, Lu Youyou and Lin Nian appeared in front of Li Huowang.

As soon as she landed on the ground, Lu Youyou approached Li Huowang, a bright smile on her face.

"Hehe (#^.^#), this junior looks much more handsome in real life than in the photos!"

"My name is Lu Youyou, and I am a third-year student at Donghuang Academy."

"We'll be alumni from now on!"

Compared to Lin Nian's indifference, Lu Youyou was quite outgoing and friendly.

Upon seeing Li Huowang, she introduced herself.

Upon hearing Lu Youyou's self-introduction, Li Huowang first glanced at Duolongbalut, who was still invisible beside Lu Youyou, and then looked at Lu Youyou in front of him.

Li Huowang was naturally aware of Lu Youyou's identity.

He is the tenth seat among the Ten Heroes of Donghuang, and also the youngest one among them.

Compared to the other nine people, Lu Youyou is much more mysterious.

The reason why others were able to become the Ten Heroes of Donghuang is because they had made outstanding contributions or brought unimaginable benefits to the country.

But there's been absolutely no news about Lu Youyou.

Moreover, when Lu Youyou became one of the Ten Heroes of Donghuang, she was just a high school student.

This naturally makes many people curious about Lu Youyou.

The same applies to Li Huowang.

However, upon seeing her today, Li Huowang looked at Duolongbalut beside Lu Youyou.

He suddenly understood why Lu Youyou was able to become one of the Ten Heroes of Donghuang!

Although this Dragon Ball is very strong, Li Huowang doesn't think it poses any threat.

After all, this Dragon Barut was also looking at Tia next to Li Huowang with great apprehension.

It was obvious that he could sense Tia's power.

Moreover, it wasn't just Dorombalto who was looking at Tia...

Lin Nian, who had just landed, also turned her gaze toward Tia.

It was obvious that both of them had already recognized Tia's extraordinary qualities.

Despite the stares, Tia remained calm, still clinging to Li Huowang's shoulder like a sweet, gentle girl.

If it weren't for my dad reminding me that Tia was terrifying...

Lu Youyou really couldn't imagine why such a cute and cuddly little sister could be so terrifying.

Upon seeing the two arrive, Zhu Qian began to introduce them to Li Huowang.

However, after the introductions, Zhu Qian asked with some surprise, "Lin Nian, where is Shen Suifeng?"

Just as Zhu Qian was puzzled, a voice rang out.

"Uncle Zhu, I'm here!"

Then, the primitive man Shen Suifeng also hurriedly ran out of the clock tower.

At this moment, Zhu Qian was somewhat surprised to see Shen Suifeng with a buzz cut.

"Sui Feng, where's your hair?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Suifeng did not answer, but instead glanced at Li Huowang first.

Then, he smiled and said, "I've shaved it."

"It feels more comfortable with my skin shaved."

Upon learning of this situation, Zhu Qian was somewhat surprised, but he didn't say much.

Instead, he looked at Li Huowang beside him and said, "Huowang, you know this Shen Suifeng too."

"He will be in charge of this collaboration with Dr. Vladali of the Carlos region on the exploration of the underground palace."
