Friends and relatives are indispensable. Therefore, more and more people from the Zhang family came here.
Especially when those who emerged from the secret realm showed them what they had obtained within, their anticipation for it grew even stronger. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
This time, even the strict prohibitions from the higher-ups could not stop those who yearned to venture into the secret realm.
The more the higher-ups forbade it, the more they wished to try their luck within the secret realm.
"That was exchanged for with the Great Elder's life! Why are they preventing us from going?!" a young man exclaimed in dissatisfaction. Though he dared not openly defy the higher-ups, he felt deeply resentful in his heart.
"Cousin Ning Bai, don't you think so?"
As soon as he uttered these words, he realized his mistake. The Great Elder was Zhang Ning Bai's father, and he was essentially rubbing salt into his wounds.
"I have matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave," Zhang Ning Bai said, noticing the change in the young man's expression and understanding that he had indeed spoken inappropriately.
However, at this moment, he was too preoccupied to dwell on it.
When he returned, exhausted, Zhang An Su also came forward.
"Brother, is that news true? Should we also go to that secret realm?" kΑnshu伍.ξà
"An Su, it's not necessarily true," Zhang Ning Bai replied, weary.
"What's not true? That was exchanged for with our father's life! How can it not be true?" Zhang An Su sounded hysterical.
She truly couldn't accept it. People had already reaped significant benefits from the secret realm, and many were heading towards its location.
Why were the higher-ups preventing them from going? Why wouldn't even her own brother allow her to go?
She believed that if they went, they could gain a lot and even improve their cultivation. With enhanced strength, they would have more say within the family.
"An Su, Father he..." Although he didn't know the true reason for his father's death, it was certainly not as the current rumors suggested.
If it were true, he believed the higher-ups would never have concealed such information.
"I don't care! Brother, I want to go! That was exchanged for with my father's life, and I must go."
"An Su, stop this!"
"I'm not stopping! Brother, are you really not accompanying me? If you don't, I'll go by myself!" Zhang An Su declared and then ran out.
Seeing her flee, Zhang Ning Bai had no time for anything else and immediately pursued her.
Perhaps, deep down, he couldn't let go either. Thus, he left the family with his sister, one after the other, flying towards the direction of the secret realm.
The higher-ups of the Zhang family also noticed the movements of these clan members.
"Patriarch, what should we do?"
"It's better to guide than to block. Let them go. You take a few elders with you to the secret realm and ensure their safety."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Once the Zhang family patriarch gave his consent, even more Zhang family members departed. Soon, a significant portion of the Zhang family had left.
Only some low-level disciples and a few elders remained in the Zhang family.
The Grand Elder was currently stationed within the family, as they greatly feared retaliation from the Zi Che family. Thus, the Grand Elder dared not leave the family's stronghold.
However, the news received during this period consistently reported that they were traveling in the southeast region and seemed to have suffered no assassinations.
This gradually caused the Zhang family to relax their guard, which was why the Zhang family patriarch eventually relented.
