The leading Elder of the Heavenly Fire Valley's expression changed, and he shouted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Clearly, Huo Wushuang was provoked by the Jade Pool Immortal Palace's previous momentum, combined with his youthful vigor and lawless nature.
He wanted to publicly "measure" the weight of this new power's Disciple!
Facing this sudden, domineering, and ruthless spear strike, Liu Ruyan's expression remained unchanged.
She didn't even dodge, simply raising her right hand and striking out with a palm!
"Buzz..."
A formless and intangible strange ripple radiated out from the center of her palm.
The moment Huo Wushuang's aggressive spear strike touched this ripple, it was as if it had slammed into a thick, viscous swamp!
"What is this?!"
Huo Wushuang's pupils shrank, and the arrogant look on his face was instantly replaced by horror!
That nonchalant palm strike from the opponent actually caused a trace of daze in his Divine Soul.
It was as if he saw himself going from a spirited youth to a withered old man... Liu Ruyan did not continue her attack; she just calmly withdrew her hand and glanced at Huo Wushuang,
"There are countless opportunities in the Secret Realm; why waste time here?"
Having said that, she ignored him, and with a flash of her figure, she disappeared into the Light Gate.
Gu Luoli, Ye Ling'er, and the rest of the Immortal Palace Disciples didn't even give Huo Wushuang a second glance as they followed closely behind, stepping into the Secret Realm one after another.
From Huo Wushuang's attack to Liu Ruyan's neutralization and counter-move, to the full entry of the Immortal Palace Disciples, the entire process took only a few breaths.
It was so fast that many people hadn't even reacted yet.
When everyone regained their senses, they saw Huo Wushuang frozen in mid-air, his face flushed with a mix of blue and red, remaining silent.
In front of him, all the Disciples of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace had already vanished into the Light Gate.
"Hiss..."
From all directions, the sound of people drawing in cold breaths rang out.
"What... what kind of technique was that just now?"
"Huo Wushuang's attack was actually neutralized so easily?"
"That Liu Ruyan... it seems she didn't even use her full strength?"
"Was that last sentence she said... mocking Huo Wushuang for overestimating himself?"
"Huo Wushuang... really kicked a steel plate this time! Haha!"
Among the discussions, there was schadenfreude, shock, and even more wariness toward the Jade Pool Immortal Palace.
Within the Heavenly Fire Valley team, Huo Wushuang's face turned red and white alternately as he gripped his spear tightly, his knuckles turning white.
That strange power he had just felt.
Had the other party not been uninterested in entangling with him, he might have truly suffered a great loss.
"Young Valley Master, the Secret Realm is more important."
The Red-Browed Elder stepped forward and reminded him in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness.
Huo Wushuang glared fiercely at the Secret Realm's Light Gate and squeezed out a few words through his teeth:
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he led the Heavenly Fire Valley Disciples and charged into the Light Gate somewhat awkwardly.
This little interlude did not affect the overall situation of the Secret Realm opening.
Disciples from all sides continued to pour in.
But after this incident, the weight of the Jade Pool Immortal Palace in everyone's hearts undoubtedly grew a bit heavier.
To be able to neutralize a strike from the Late Golden Core Stage Huo Wushuang so nonchalantly, Liu Ruyan's strength clearly didn't seem like that of someone at the Early Golden Core stage!
And among such Disciples, the Jade Pool Immortal Palace also had Gu Luoli, who was at the Late Golden Core Stage and possessed Innate Double Pupils... No one knew what kind of power it would be if she were to make a move!
