Chapter 190: Chapter 190 Follow-up to the Demon Race Secret Realm

After all…

Even with thorough exploration, that secret realm couldn’t possibly require as much as three months.

So…

As time grew longer,

the matter slowly began to ferment, and various rumors started to emerge within the Fang Market.

There were rumors saying…

The Qingyuan Sword Sect obtained a good number of rare Spirit Plants and a great amount of treasures in that secret realm…

The reason they’ve been sealing the entrance and blocking others from approaching is to keep their findings concealed.

Many people believed this rumor to be true.

With time, as the rumor fermented, it became increasingly intense, showing a trend that seemed almost uncontrollable.

Moreover, apart from Nanshan Market…

The news spread like it had wings, reaching the nearby cities and other markets.

A portion of the powers were completely convinced and believed the Qingyuan Sword Sect had gained advantages in the Demon Race Secret Realm.

Therefore…

they brought people to Nanshan Market, seeking an opportunity to share a piece of the pie.

Fueled by these individuals, other families and sects grew restless…

Consequently, more and more families and sects streamed toward Nanshan Market.

This small market, naturally, could not bear such a large influx of people,

and hence, the population of the market increased, making the streets crowded during the daytime…

Of course, this also brought other effects, which was another rise in market prices.

It is said…

Lin Jing even heard that the rent for the small courtyard he had in the outer market had surged to 20 Lower Grade Spirit Stones a year…

Now…

The cost of living in the market had risen considerably too.

Nevertheless, no one wanted to leave the market.

And…

The families and sects that had recently come to the market were all eyeing the entrance to the secret realm,

trying to get close from time to time, eager to see if it was as rumored, filled with treasures.

However…

Under the strict guard of Qingyuan Sword Sect, these people didn’t stand a chance.

The actions of the Qingyuan Sword Sect only reaffirmed people’s suspicions…

Being not powerful enough themselves, they dared not openly oppose Qingyuan Sword Sect.

Thus, they could only fret helplessly without any solution…

But…

This situation surely couldn’t continue indefinitely…

So, as time slowly passed and the market grew more crowded, people became increasingly anxious, fearing that Qingyuan Sword Sect would monopolize the treasures of the secret realm.

Eventually, someone couldn’t bear it anymore…

Embracing a do-or-die mentality, they widely publicized the matter of the Demon Race Secret Realm.

Most importantly…

This matter was directly communicated to Nanming Immortal Sect and Yiyun Pavilion, whose strengths were comparable to that of Qingyuan Sword Sect.

The result was…

Nanming Immortal Sect and Yiyun Pavilion both dispatched representatives to Qingyuan Sword Sect…

Claiming they wanted to negotiate with Qingyuan Sword Sect regarding the Demon Race Secret Realm, they sought to have the entrance to the secret realm opened for all to enter.

This matter, naturally, was good news for the other families and sects,

and these two major sects also earned the unanimous favor of those families and sects…

With the situation at this stage, everyone in the market was looking forward with great anticipation, waiting for the outcome of the negotiations.
