The night fell, and the night in Greece was very deep, not suitable for driving. Although the car was full of cultivators, they were near the Hui Country Secret Realm, where countless powerful cultivators were in abundance, so safety was still the top priority.

After resting for a night, they set off again as the sky began to brighten the next day.

At half-past one in the afternoon, they could hear the sound of the distant sea wind howling and waves crashing against rocks; Li Xiaoyao knew that they had finally arrived.

Before even arriving, his mind reached out ahead.

All living creatures within a ten-kilometer radius were in his sight; Li Xiaoyao could even see fish swimming in the seawater.

"Our current location is Kotlonas, and that vast expanse in front of us is the Sea of Death," Nangong Tuo, who had clearly done his homework before coming, now stood at the front of the car, pointing at the endless sea and providing an introduction.

Li Xiaoyao nodded his head and slowly walked forward. Under the coverage of his consciousness, the sea area seemed ordinary, and he detected nothing unusual.

Nangong Tuo walked up, pointing in one direction, saying, "The Secret Realm is there."

Looking in the direction he pointed, there was nothing but a vast deep sea.

This part of the sea belonged to the Mediterranean, too vast for the naked eye to see the edge, let alone with the mind.

The sea is truly one of the world's most mysterious places; it's worth noting that the sea areas explored and developed by humanity amount to less than three percent of the entire maritime expanse. In other words, the world's seas hold an abundance of secrets yet to be discovered.

This is understandable since even the shallower parts of these sea areas are at least tens of thousands of meters deep. And in the deep sea, humans are no different from ordinary fish. The idea of exploring the entire sea area is simply unrealizable.

"We will take a boat now to Botamos Island."

About seventy kilometers away was an island, and this island was Botamos Island.

From there, one could observe the Hui Country Secret Realm from the closest vantage point.

The group switched to an old fishing boat and progressed through tremendous waves, setting sail for Botamos Island.

Just as they had begun their journey by boat, several off-road vehicles drove up from below; Korr and his group had arrived.

Korr stepped down from the vehicle, his sharp eagle-like eyes instantly fixing on Li Xiaoyao who stood at the stern of the fishing boat, and said to an Elder beside him, "That's him!"

...

About two hours later, the fishing boat came to a stop at the shores of Botamos Island, and everyone disembarked.

Li Xiaoyao observed carefully; by now, he could notice that the sea water in this area was no longer deep blue, but rather a bit blackish.

Releasing his consciousness, even extending to ten kilometers, he still found nothing; the sea area was serene without even a ripple.

"Young Master Li, the Elders of our Nangong Family are over there," said Nangong Tuo, who had just spoken with an Elder over the phone, now addressing Li Xiaoyao.

"I wonder where the Great Elder and Second Elder of the Li Family are," said Li Xiaoyao, who had not met the two Elders and couldn't distinguish them, even with the aid of his mind.

Nangong Tuo suggested, "Why not come with us first? The Elders of my clan should be aware."

"Hmm, that's fine," Li Xiaoyao nodded and replied, "Then I'll trouble Elder Nangong Tuo."

"There's no trouble at all," Nangong Tuo said with a smile and a wave of his hand, leading his clansmen toward where the Nangong Family Elders were.

The island had never been as lively as today, entirely occupied by cultivator forces from around the world.

The Greek government initially intended to expel them but later realized the idea was utterly unrealistic.

Cultivators were an entity that reigned above ordinary people. They might hold some powerful countries in awe but a small nation like Greece did not possess the capability or qualification.

Moreover, many influences were directly instigated by national interests. What could Greece dare to say?

If there was anything to blame, it was the allure of the Hui Country Secret Realm.

The arrival of Li Xiaoyao and his companions did not attract much attention; here, people journeyed to the Secret Realm every day, vanished every day, and new cultivators arrived daily.

The Nangong Family had three Elders stationed here, commanding powerful cultivation levels. They directly marked off an area of over two hundred square meters as the Nangong Family's base. Other forces did the same; in this place, the mightier the strength, the larger the territory one held. Anyone who disagreed could settle it through combat.

And Xuan Country was already the nation with the highest number of cultivators; few would take it upon themselves to provoke Xuan Country cultivators.

"Third Brother."

Nangong Tuo had already spotted his own people from afar and walked over with a smile.

"Fourth Brother." The man appeared to be in his thirties, much younger than Nangong Tuo, youthful in appearance and hardly resembling an Elder. Yet, the lofty air he exuded with every move commanded respect.

Nangong Tuo introduced, "Third Brother, this is Li Xiaoyao from the Li Family."

"Oh? You're Li Xiaoyao? I've heard about the incident in the Human Realm." The Third Elder smiled, his gaze meticulously scanning Li Xiaoyao.

"Mr. Li, this is my Third Brother, Nangong Feng."

"Hello, Elder Nangong Feng."

Li Xiaoyao bowed his head slightly, greeting him with a smile.

Glancing at the vast open space behind him, Nangong Tuo asked, "Why aren't Big Brother and Second Brother here?"

"They went to sea on a ship half an hour ago. They should be back soon," Nangong Feng replied, taking out a packet of cigarettes from his pocket and offering one to Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao didn't refuse, lighting one up and taking a puff before asking, "Third Elder, I have a question—where are the people from our Li family?"

"Oh, you mean Elders Li Yunchen and Li Tinghai?" Nangong Feng, with a cigarette in his mouth, pointed towards the high ground on the left and said, "They arrived earlier and secured a good spot. That highest place over there is it."

Li Xiaoyao followed the direction of his pointing. It was a hillock that rose about seventy to eighty meters above the normal ground level. Indeed, it was the optimum location.

The strength of a sect was clearly evident from this aspect.

"Thank you, Third Elder, I'll be heading over there now." After expressing his gratitude, Li Xiaoyao turned and left.

Watching Li Xiaoyao's retreating figure, Nangong Feng clicked his tongue and said, "The young fellow is quite polite, not as arrogant and overbearing as the rumors say."

Nangong Tuo gave a wry smile and replied, "What do you know? You haven't seen this kid lose his temper."

Shrugging, Nangong Feng retorted, "Surely, it was someone else who made the first move and provoked him. I find the lad's nature to be quite good."

"That's true as well," Nangong Tuo thought about it and seemed to agree. The first time he met Li Xiaoyao, although Li Xiaoyao was aloof and indifferent to many things, he did not neglect the necessary courtesies.

"Oh no, this is bad," Nangong Feng suddenly remembered something while taking a drag on his cigarette, letting out an exclamation.

"What happened?"

Staring at the high ground, Nangong Feng explained, "A few days ago, the Clan Leader of the Li Family went to the Secret Realm by ship and disappeared. Since then, many have had their sights on the Li Family's territory. The Li Family may be strong, but so are the other forces."
