Chapter 180: Seal of The Secret Realm's Demon Beasts

"Meaning… Something inside the secret realm managed to weaken the seal… From what I know, it should have been a demon beast reaching a certain stage in its cultivation where the seal of the secret realm was no longer able to supress it any longer…" Finishing his explanation, the treasure hunter shivered at the thought of the demon beast in question.

"How strong would the demon beast be… For it to be able to weaken the seal…?" Feeling the seriousness of the treasure hunter, Chi Hu felt a bit curious.

"I-I don't know, but the seal is able to seal early-stage Domain Lord demon beasts without too much trouble, so it should at least be above that…" Shaking his head, the treasure hunter had no idea how strong a demon beast capable of weakening the seal laid out by the past master of the secret realm would be.

Late stage of the Domain Lord Realm? Peak stage of the Domain Lord Realm? Maybe above that…? contemporary romance

The treasure hunter did not dare to think any further about it, as the demon beast in question was far above his own realm and killing him would be as easy as swatting a random fly to death.

"So, a demon beast that strong might be running around freely inside the secret realm…?" Shivering at the thought of possibly running into such a terrifying demon beast, Chi Hu exclaimed loudly.

The thought of them being able to run into such a terrifying demon beast was not something either Xuan Hao or Chi Hu enjoyed. Leaving the secret realm at the fastest speed possible suddenly became their top priority.

"Ah! Don't get me wrong. The demon beast should still be sealed, it just weakened the seal enough for the demon beast below the Domain Lord Realm to be free faster. The final part of the seal should still be able to last for a few more days!" Trying his best to ensure both Chi Hu and Xuan Hao, the treasure hunter hurriedly explained.

"I see, but it is still becoming dangerous for us to stay… Xuan Hao, what do you say we head back and leave before things get any more dangerous? We already got a few techniques and some good metal for blacksmithing; I think leaving before things become too dangerous would be a good idea and we would still gain something from it…" Listing to what the treasure hunter said, Chi Hu still thought it would be too dangerous to stay inside the secret realm. After all, who knew how the bigshots would respond when they found out about the situation inside the secret realm!?

The treasure hunter was standing beside Chi Hu as he nodded his head in agreement with what he said.

Staying in the secret realm was way too dangerous and the only place he knew about with anything worthwhile in it, was inside the Nascent Soul Realm area where demon beasts close to the Domain Lord Realm were nesting!

Going there before they were unsealed was already dangerous due to how far he would have to travel. Let alone now that the demon beasts were beginning to get out of their sealed state earlier than expected!

"You can leave, I will stay around a little longer and see if I can enter the Nascent Soul Realm area at another place where the wolves are not at… I am more than capable of getting out if it truly does get dangerous…" Thinking over it for a moment, Xuan Hao decided to stay inside of the secret realm for a few days more. After all, in the worst case scenario, he could still just use his sword and fly away from any dangerous situation and with the Domain Lord Realm demon beasts still sealed, Xuan Hao did not think he would end up in a situation too dangerous for him to get out of.

"Fine, but you have to remember that staying for too long will increase the chances of the entrance being sealed off… I will go to the sect and wait for you there!" Saying this, Chi Hu prepared to leave the secret realm alone.

"What about the treasure hunter…?" Seeing Chi Hu about to leave, Xuan Hao quickly reminded him as both of them turned their attention over to the treasure hunter quietly observing them from the side.

"Hm… I think we should just let him go! It's not like he knows us or anything and I don't believe he would take revenge or anything in the future for the other two treasure hunters. From what I can tell they just grouped up to hunt for treasures together without any real connection between them other than the same desire to find treasures…

This is normal for treasure hunters as most of the groups of them out there are set up like this. Other than that, he also answered our questions and didn't really cause any trouble for us…" Chi Hu and Xuan Hao both looked over at the treasure hunter that was currently sweating bullets as he knew whatever came next would decide his fate.

"Let's just allow him to leave then but remember to only do it when you have left the secret realm. After that, you can unseal his cultivation and allow for him to go back to what he was doing beforehand…

Wait… wouldn't he just return to being a treasure hunter…" Realizing that the idea of releasing the treasure hunter might actually not be such a good idea upon further contemplation, Xuan Hao stopped in his tracks as he thoughtfully began to inspect the treasure hunter, causing him to shiver in fear.

"Indeed, what you say is true…" Nodding in agreement with what Xuan Hao said, Chi Hu also began to look over the treasure hunter. Trying to think of a solution.

Won't I end up dead if things continue like this!?

Seeing the situation developing in a direction that the treasure hunter knew very well was not good for him or his future, he decided to find a way out for himself!
