Chapter 5047 This place is full of humans
Princess Linghu walked over with bare lotus feet, her golden bells jingling. Her beautiful eyes looked intently at Xiao Yan, revealing a worried expression, as if she were truly concerned.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He was now somewhat doubtful whether the Heavenly King had really entered the so-called secret treasure as the spirit fox had said.

"Since you put it that way, then it's best not to go into this secret treasure."

Xiao Yan then waved his sleeve and prepared to turn and leave.

The moment Xiao Yan turned around, a look of surprise appeared in Princess Linghu's eyes. She hadn't expected that Xiao Yan would actually give up.

"Young master, please wait. Actually, I have a treasure here called the Shattered Spirit Jade. If you encounter danger inside, you can crush this spirit jade and leave."

A flash of light appeared in the palm of the Spirit Fox Princess, revealing a palm-sized piece of spirit jade. She extended her lotus-root-like forearm and presented it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan turned around and looked at Princess Linghu. Her pretty appearance did not show any trace of malice or cunning, but... was that really the case?

After receiving the Broken Spirit Jade, Xiao Yan scanned it with his soul power and confirmed that there was no problem. So, the Spirit Fox Princess's purpose was to lure Xiao Yan into the secret treasure.

Whether the Shattered Spirit Jade will still be effective by then remains to be seen.

"Where is the secret treasure?" Xiao Yan asked again. He had only pretended to leave to test Princess Linghu. If there was no obstruction, it meant there was no problem. However, the way she spoke indicated that the secret treasure must be extremely dangerous.

"If you are determined, then come with me."

Princess Linghu swayed her slender waist as she walked out of the palace. After passing through several caves, she arrived at a tranquil place located deep within the earth, where the surrounding stones restricted the power of the soul.

Its purpose should be to limit other powerful soul beings, but for the Illusionary Light Fox Clan, there is a way to break it, and they cannot interfere with it.

Here, there is a crystal mirror hundreds of feet long. After the Spirit Fox Princess arrived, many beams of light appeared around her, hovering and transforming into spirit foxes that looked at least quite cute.

"Young Master, are you sure you want to enter the secret realm?" Princess Linghu asked Xiao Yan's opinion once again.

Xiao Yan nodded, his gaze remaining fixed on the Spirit Fox Princess's face, not to observe her beauty, but to see if there were any subtle expressions on her face.

However, Xiao Yan was almost certain that there was something special inside this secret treasure. If the Heavenly Treasure King was really inside, Xiao Yan had no choice but to risk exploring it, for Xiao Yue Li's sake and also for the sake of past kindness. Whether it was there or not, this was the only clue at present.

This world of mountains and seas is not what Xiao Yan imagined. While there are many races, their cunning and scheming are no less than those of the human race. At least for now, the Illusionary Light Fox Clan is plotting against him.

Xiao Yan had a compelling reason to lure him into the secret realm; otherwise, he would have slaughtered the entire Illusionary Light Fox Clan.

"Let's open it." Xiao Yan nodded. There was no point in saying more now; it would be better to explore the secret realm after entering.

Princess Linghu sighed regretfully, seemingly very worried about Xiao Yan. But in Xiao Yan's eyes, the acting was too clumsy and had nothing to do with him, so why should he worry?

Princess Linghu lightly touched her brow, and a mark flew out, landing on the massive mirror crystal. Instantly, the mirror crystal seemed to be activated, transforming into a mirror vortex.

Xiao Yan swept his soul power over the area and confirmed that a passage had indeed been formed, but he couldn't determine the space it led to.

Before leaving, Xiao Yan turned around and bowed to Princess Linghu with clasped hands.

"Thank you, Princess Spirit Fox. If I find the person I'm looking for, I will definitely come back to visit and express my gratitude!"

Xiao Yan said seriously, and Princess Linghu nodded gently, her face showing not only worry but also reluctance.

"Let's go, Long Yi."

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he took the lead and stepped into the crystal vortex, disappearing instantly. Long Yi immediately followed.

After the two left, the mirror vortex stopped abruptly and transformed back into mirror crystal.

Suddenly, sharp, ear-piercing laughter erupted from all around. Even the fox princess covered her mouth and laughed, her facial features transforming into those of a fox, her eyes curving into exaggerated arcs.

"In this way, our Hundred-Year Sacrifice of the Illusionary Light Fox Clan has been completed."

"Once you enter, no human can ever come out. You're such a fool. I guess I'll never see you come back to visit and thank me in this lifetime."

"Hahaha~~"

The unique laughter of a fox echoed through the air. The fox princess then suppressed her laughter, waved her white feather fan, swayed her hips, and slowly left the place.

…………

After a brief period of darkness, light gradually appeared around them, and Xiao Yan and Long Yi entered another space.

The moment he entered, he raised an eyebrow, because he had arrived at a place directly above a city, and below he could see figures moving about.

"Humans...this place is full of humans." Xiao Yan said, but then he frowned, things seemed to be getting more and more strange.

"From the very beginning, that spirit fox guided us into this place. Could this be a gathering place for humans in the Mountain and Sea World?" Xiao Yan pondered, scanning the area with his soul. There weren't many powerful individuals here.

The number of immortal emperors is very small; the vast majority are ordinary humans who have never cultivated and have no cultivation level.

Looking around the city, one sees only ordinary people, a king and his people, all living and working the land.

Xiao Yan and Long Yi then sped up and began searching the space.

"They are all mortals, with only a few cultivators, and... they have no aura of the Heavenly King!"

This space might be impossible for an ordinary person to explore in a lifetime, but for Xiao Yan, it only takes the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to search the entire space.

Xiao Yan then arrived at a city. This city was quite large, accommodating a million people. He and Long Yi entered the imperial palace there.

He was immediately stopped by the guards. Xiao Yan did not make any move, and everyone here seemed to be frozen in place. His gaze was fixed on the figure on the throne.

"Where is this place, and why are all the people here mortals?" Xiao Yan looked at the figure on the throne. This was the strongest person he had found in the space, a second-step Emperor of Immortality.

"Even someone as powerful as you was ambushed and exiled to this Mirror Realm?" The figure on the throne looked at Xiao Yan. Although he couldn't sense Xiao Yan's cultivation level, he could tell that Xiao Yan was extremely powerful.
