This was because, out in the outside world, all sorts of eerie and mysterious things were several times more common.
But in terms of safety, compared to the Secret Realm, it was still much better.
In the Secret Realm, things like killing for loot and so on still happened from time to time.
Even though their sect ruled over the entire Secret Realm, they still couldn’t avoid these problems.
What’s more, their sect could punish whoever they wanted, as long as they could find some rule to hang it on.
You could say they were the local emperors of the entire Secret Realm.
So compared to the outside world, this place was actually a bit more chaotic.
These past few years in the outside world, she had also felt that, although the eerie and mysterious were far more common.
But when it came to killing and such, proportionally speaking, it really was much less, you could even say it was much safer than the Secret Realm.
This was actually the difference between the ancient jianghu and the modern era.
Of course, the "ancient jianghu" in everyone’s mind would still be far more chaotic than the Secret Realm where Princess Consort Le’s sect was based.
The reason for mentioning all this was that she wouldn’t kill Red Moon.
On one hand, she’d been assimilated by the outside world.
On the other hand, these few people were still mid-to-upper level strength within the sect, no matter how you put it.
The real key, though, was that she still hadn’t figured out what exactly had happened in the sect.
Next, under Princess Consort Le’s questioning.
Red Moon also gave up her little schemes, especially after she learned that Princess Consort Le had already broken through to the Innate realm.
Innate!
Even in their sect, that was top-tier combat power.
People like that weren’t on the same level as their King of Soldiers at all.
And she completely gave up the thought of resisting.
After all, having lived so many years, who didn’t cherish their life.
As for what would happen afterwards, she couldn’t worry that far.
So she basically answered everything she was asked.
Ten minutes later, Princess Consort Le and Lin Xi left this house.
Red Moon was with them as well.
The main reason was to stop her from sending out any warnings.
At the same time, Princess Consort Le didn’t believe what she said a full hundred percent.
If she did, then she, Princess Consort Le, would be far too naive.
This house was where the Secret Realm’s entrance and exit were located, and they always kept an eye on people coming from outside.
For the Secret Realm, it was still extremely important.
Even though no outsiders had come in all these years.
They had still stayed here on guard.
After all, this concerned the Secret Realm’s secret, and the Secret Realm’s very survival.
Because there were still outsiders who knew where the Secret Realm was.
Precisely because of that, people had been stationed here.
Of course, normally there would never be four people with King of Soldiers–level strength guarding this place.
The main reason was that Le Tian had gone out on a mission.
Only then did the Sect Leader assign these four here, just in case.
For example, if Le Tian failed, then the four of them could deal with Princess Consort Le.
You could say it was a foolproof plan.
It was just that the person pulling the strings never imagined Le Tian would fail his mission and instead get killed.
Nor that Red Moon and the other three failed to take out Princess Consort Le.
You had to know, in the mind of the one giving orders, even if Le Tian couldn’t kill Princess Consort Le, it should be very easy for him to escape.
.....
The three of them walked the whole way on foot. After walking for almost three kilometers, they saw a village.
Under Red Moon’s lead, they arrived at a farmhouse.
Outside a wooden fence to one side, they saw a few strong, sturdy horses.
These four horses were exactly the ones that had belonged to Red Moon and the other three.
Then they led out three of them, and the three of them mounted up and rode straight toward the sect.
