177 Undersea Palace
At the front of the river, there was an extremely huge hall.

There were countless spiritual herbs growing outside the hall, and those cultivators were snatching those spiritual herbs.

However, there were also some people who looked at the door of the palace in front of them with burning eyes.

These cultivators looked at the door and discussed among themselves.

“There are many natural treasures here, and on the river floor. They’re hidden so well, and this palace is so spectacular. In other words, this palace might belong to the owner of the mystic realm.”

“Yes, definitely! This must be the palace of the master of the palace mystic realm.”

“The phenomenon caused by the mystic realm was so intense previously. This also means that the master of the mystic realm has a very high cultivation level and is a top expert. Where he lives, there must be countless natural treasures inside.”

“That’s for sure. Although the door is closed now, I can clearly feel an extremely dense spiritual herb aura.”

“…”

Discussions broke out.

As they discussed, they could not help but look at the figure standing at the front of the crowd.

A slender figure with a handsome face and an extremely terrifying aura fluctuation was emitted from his entire body. He was the prodigy of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Gu Shujue.

The cultivators looked at Gu Shujue with fear in their eyes.

At this moment, Gu Shujue kept looking at the palace door.

He could clearly feel an extremely strong spiritual herb aura attracting him, making him feel like he could not wait to rush in.

However, Gu Shujue was not a fool. Although there were natural treasures, he was not in a hurry.

Since Gu Shujue did not move, the other cultivators naturally did not dare to enter the palace gate rashly.

At this moment, Shen Ran and the two women slowly walked over.

The moment Shen Ran walked over, the atmosphere instantly became strange.

“Why is Shen Ran here?!”

“I heard that Shen Ran is fighting Zhou Ziran and Xu Lingfeng. Why did he suddenly appear here? Could it be that the prodigies of the Zhou family and the Xu family have been defeated?”

“If Shen Ran really fought those two people and suddenly appeared, it’s very likely Zhou Ziran and Xu Lingfeng would have been defeated.”

“It’s over. There was already Gu Shujue here, and the natural treasures we can obtain are very limited. Now, there’s Shen Ran. In front of them, we don’t have the chance to obtain these opportunities at all.”

“Hehe, don’t be anxious. Don’t forget that there’s a deep hatred between Gu Shujue and Shen Ran.”

“…”

As the discussion continued, Gu Shujue, who was originally looking at the palace gate, looked extremely gloomy.

His eyes were filled with cold killing intent.

He stared fixedly at Shen Ran.

The moment he saw Shen Ran, he instantly thought of everything that had happened in the Fallen Phoenix Hill mystic realm. It was Shen Ran.

It was all Shen Ran’s doing!

At the thought of this, the anger in Gu Shujue’s heart surged again.

However, at this moment, Shen Ran, who was the focus of everyone’s attention, looked at the door of the palace calmly.

Indeed, when he first saw this palace, he instinctively thought that this was the palace where the owner of the mystic realm lived. There were countless natural treasures inside.

However, if one thought about it carefully, one could guess that it was unusual.

The palace where the owner of this mystic realm lived must be hidden very well. Moreover, there must be danger around the palace. It was not as quiet as this.

But one could not see any danger at all.

This also meant that there was something definitely unusual about this palace.

Moreover, this was a mystic realm opened by Ji Qinglin. Ji Qinglin was not so kind.

While Shen Ran was thinking, Gu Shujue, who originally had a murderous expression, looked at Shen Ran and seemed to have thought of something. He smiled awkwardly.

“Shen Ran! This is the palace where the owner of the mystic realm lives. I believe you can also feel the aura of a fifth-grade spiritual herb.”

“Although I also want a fifth-grade spiritual herb, I know that I’m not your match, so I’ll let you have it.”

As Gu Shujue spoke, he made an inviting gesture.

This made it seem as though Gu Shujue really thought so.

Shen Ran naturally understood Gu Shujue’s wishful thinking at a glance.

He smiled at this. “There’s no need to be polite. Since ancient times, natural treasures have always belonged to the capable. If you can obtain them, I won’t say anything.”

Shen Ran’s words made Gu Shujue’s eyes narrow, and a look of pity flashed across his eyes.

Then he turned to look at the impatient cultivators around him and shouted.

“Did you hear that? His Highness Shen said that the natural treasures belong to the capable. If anyone can obtain them, we won’t say anything.”

As soon as Gu Shujue finished speaking, all the cultivators perked up.

However, they still hesitated.

It was mainly because Shen Ran and Gu Shujue were here. If they rushed out rashly to snatch the natural treasures, they were also worried that they would end up benefiting others.

Seeing that the cultivators were unmoved, Gu Shujue spoke again.

“Since you’re not in a hurry, I’m going to start moving.”

The moment Gu Shujue said this, those cultivators who were already a little hesitant finally could not resist the temptation of a fifth-grade spiritual herb.

“Brothers, charge!!”

“His Highness Shen and Young Master Gu have already said that the natural treasures will belong to those who can obtain them. This is our opportunity.”

“Don’t snatch it from me. That fifth-grade spiritual herb will definitely be mine!”

“…”

In an instant, countless cultivators rushed towards the palace door, desperate to obtain natural treasures.

When Shen Ran saw this, he shook his head.

Normally, these cultivators might understand the danger.

But facing the temptation of natural treasures, they had lost their ability to think.

When Gu Shujue saw this scene in the distance, he also sneered.

Then he looked at Shen Ran from the corner of his eye, the killing intent in his eyes flickering.

At this moment, the cultivators had already rushed towards the palace door, wanting to open it.

However, the moment the door opened, suddenly, “Clang!”

An ear-piercing clang suddenly sounded.

And this sound only lasted for a moment.

At the sound, countless people trembled and their hair stood on end. Fear appeared on their faces.

“Oh no, there’s a trap!”
