"What's going on?" A monk asked strangely, looking at the cracks in the sky punctured by blood-stained wooden sticks.
"Wouldn't it be better to just come out? Could it be that the rules of the secret realm have changed?" The monks outside are all above the Qi Refining Stage, and no one can try to find out what is wrong with the entrance and exit of the secret realm.
So at this moment, seeing that violent man breaking the barrier from the inside, one can't help but feel a little confused.
No one answered their questions, but they soon found out. As a crack was torn apart in the secret realm, several beautiful figures quickly emerged from the crack with swords.
What surprised everyone was that after a few people from Qingshui Palace came out, the crack slowly closed.
Since then, no one has come out of the ancient secret realm.
"Is the secret realm blocked?" Someone finally discovered the anomaly. They realized that they needed that man to forcefully break the barrier and let people out. It was obvious that the door to the ancient secret realm had been sealed in advance.
In other words, all the disciples of their sect are now trapped inside. Without the help of that man to tear apart the barrier of the secret realm and release them, no one can come out.
Because since the birth of the Primordial Secret Realm, it seems that no one has done such a thing except this man.
Not to mention that the people outside them are at most the elders of the major sects in the Golden Core Realm. Even if they are Yuanying or even monks in the God Transformation Realm, they may not be able to do it.
Some people began to wonder about the state of this man who was hanging out with the women of Qingshui Palace, while others were anxious that all the disciples in his sect were trapped inside.
"Lingyun, what happened?" Not to mention the others, seeing only Ye Lingyun and the others came out, even Murong Youlian, the master of Qingshui Palace, was confused.
"Something happened inside. I don't know the specific situation. I just heard from Senior Sun that something seemed to have come out and he wanted to stay inside to deal with it." Ye Lingyun shook his head slightly and answered helplessly,
"He asked us to go back to Qingtian City first and leave him alone."
"But..." When Murong Youlian heard this, a trace of cold sweat broke out on her forehead. In the past, she was confident because she had the backing of Sun Haoran, but now, it seems that this guy has no intention of coming out.
What should they do? Although this group of people here may be afraid of Sun Haoran's warning, and the disciples are still trapped in the secret realm and need to rely on Sun Hao, whom they know, they dare not touch them.
But what if we meet someone from the Hehuan Sect on the way back? What to do?
"Senior Sun said they dare not touch us." Seemingly sensing the palace master's worries, Ye Lingyun told Sun Haoran's idea.
"If they dare to touch us, then none of the remaining people inside will survive. We can use this as a threat..."
"Of course I know this truth..." Murong Youlian shook his head slightly.
"What I'm worried about is not them, but the revenge from the Hehuan Sect on the way back! We and the Hehuan Sect are already fighting to the death. None of the people they originally sent to the secret realm are alive, so they won't worry about this at all. kind of thing."
"Uh... what should we do?" Ye Lingyun felt that it made sense and became a little confused.
"Are we just waiting here for seniors to come out? Seniors said that as long as we threaten the lives of everyone inside, not only will these people not make things difficult for us, but they will even have to protect us because of the hostages inside. In fact, we can entrust these guys to He’s escorting us back. It’s impossible for the Hehuan Sect to be enemies of all sects, right?”
"This... calm down first... things are not as simple as he said. Think about it... he can say that simply because he has great strength! Does this strength belong to us, Qingshui Palace? "Murong Youlian's face twitched when she heard this.
She wondered if this girl had lost her brain after staying with that crazy man for a few days.
This method of threatening people is always the worst way for a weak sect like them. The man himself has the strength to threaten whoever he wants, but they are just pretending to be powerful, and one day they will be threatened. Backlash.
Maybe people from other sects will be polite to them now because only that man can open the secret realm and let people out, but if they figure out that the people inside will be used as hostages to threaten these guys, the effect will be completely It’s different.
This is equivalent to their Qingshui Palace directly offending all sects, without any room for maneuver. If there is no support for that man in the future, then such a weak Qingshui Palace will be in doom.
And maybe he won't be able to wait until that time... After all, that man is in the secret realm now and can't care about them. It is said that distant water cannot save the near fire, but if there is a sect here who wants to fight them to the death, they Qingshui Palace may have to send.
"This...Palace Master...then what should we do?" After listening to Murong Youlian's reminder, Ye Lingyun calmly thought about it and seemed to quickly realize that the risk of doing so was too great.
After all, they are still too weak. In this situation, it seems that they can only rely on the help of Senior Sun. It is safest to wait here for Senior Sun to finish the things inside and go back with them.
But……
"Senior Sun said that the next movement may be very big, and even if we are outside the secret realm, we will be involved in it. What should we do?"
"We can only take one step at a time..." Murong Youlian shook her head helplessly, looking at the sealed entrance and exit of the secret realm, unable to do anything.
At this time, people from other sects seemed to finally understand the situation and came to negotiate with them.
"Fairies of Qingshui Palace, may I ask what is going on in the secret realm now? Can you please elaborate?"
"This..." Murong Youlian and Ye Lingyun looked at each other, and finally gave up the option of threatening the lives of everyone in the secret realm. After all, it was too risky.
"There seems to be an abnormal situation in the secret area, which caused the barrier gate to be closed in advance. Currently, only Senior Sun inside the barrier has the ability to break the barrier and let people out. However, doing so consumes a lot of money, so this time only Let's come out." Ye Lingyun made up an excuse and planned to delay time first.
However, the actual situation is that Sun Haoran is domineering inside the barrier. In fact, when they saw him opening the barrier to let the people out of Qingshui Palace, some people wanted to take this opportunity to come out together, but they were beaten to death by Sun Haoran with a stick to scare the monkeys.
At this moment, there is an atmosphere of despair among the disciples of various sects in the barrier. They were unable to go out on their own. Sun Haoran in front of them not only refused to help them open the passage, but would even kill them if they tried to go out.
Just like watching ants, they gradually become weaker and weaker, and the power in their bodies is gradually drained by the inexplicable force, and finally their lives disappear.
All the disciples from the major sects looked at Sun Haoran as if they were seeing a devil.
"In this case...then we can only rely on the senior from Qingshui Palace." After listening to Ye Lingyun's words, the other sects could only believe it, and their attitude towards everyone in Qingshui Palace began to become polite.
But this is actually just a superficial phenomenon. Murong Youlian frowned slightly and realized that these guys from other sects were surrounding them with a tacit understanding, consciously or unconsciously.
That's right, since the people in Qingshui Palace are the hope for the people inside to come out at this moment, although these people can only be polite, they will naturally not let them leave easily.
This is the most realistic situation that the weak have to face. Sun Haoran is thinking from the perspective of the strong. Naturally, there will be deviations in the encounter with weak women like Qingshui Palace.
············the other side. Inside the prehistoric secret realm, in the far east, the Tianhu clan hides.
On the surface, this place seems to be just a barren wasteland. There is only one ancient dead tree rising from the ground and towering into the sky in the center of the land. Other than that, there is no grass growing, and there are no natural resources or earthly treasures.
Therefore, even the monks who enter here will not regard this place as a place to collect resources. However these are just illusions.
Under the vast land is the shelter where the monks of the Tianhu clan have been hiding for countless years. Below is an inverted world.
The 'dead trees' that people see on the earth are actually not trees at all, but tree roots. The truly dense branches and leaves grow deep into the ground. They absorb nutrients from the secret realm and use it to supply the Sky Fox clan with their cultivation. In this way, the huge ancient trees rooted in the ancient secret realm are the home of the Sky Fox people. , the ground is desolate, that's because the surrounding spiritual energy and all vitality have been absorbed by the roots of the towering trees, and all vitality is hidden under the ground.
However, at this moment, the secret place of the Tianhu clan, which was originally green and full of life, was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
The clan leader of this generation of the Sky Fox clan seemed to realize that the disaster was coming, and gathered all the clan members together, including the three-tailed Sky Fox that Sun Haoran had seen before.
"Xian'er, has such a terrifying existence really appeared in this secret realm?" The clan leader asked the three-tailed sky fox again, as if he wanted to confirm something.
"Yes...yes...mother." The three-tailed sky fox whose tail was touched by Sun Haoran is actually the daughter of the clan leader of this generation of sky fox clan and the next clan leader, named Su Xian'er.
Su Xian'er shuddered when she recalled the scene she saw when Sun Haoran showed his murderous intention: "You may think it's too ridiculous to say it, but the moment that man released his murderous intention, I seemed to have seen the place where my ancestors were. The ancient battlefield. It was the battlefield where all races survived the tribulation, and... there was only one person who survived this tribulation."
"It's him?"
"No...it's not him, but what he did is more terrifying than crossing the tribulation." Su Xian'er said while clenching her paws.
"He alone determined the path to immortality, and with his own strength, all the great masters who ascended in the wrong way fell short! Including our ancestors." If Lu Mingfei were here at this moment, he would probably be surprised by what Su Xian'er said at this moment if.
Because what she was talking about was the scene Lu Mingfei once saw in the illusion that Lu Mingze gave him.
"Hey... God is going to destroy our Sky Fox clan..." Hearing this, Su Ruoxi, the leader of the Sky Fox clan, had a look of despair and helplessness on his face.
"Do you know what happened? Mother?" Su Xianer's expression became nervous after hearing this.
"I know..." Su Ruoxi replied in a deep voice. As the leader of the Tianhu clan, she naturally knows the secrets about this secret realm.
They, the Tianhu clan, accepted the protection of their ancestors and were able to live a stable life here and devote themselves to cultivation. Naturally, they had to bear the corresponding price.
And now is the time to pay the price. Including her, all the beings in this small world and the power contained in them are being attracted in the same direction.
This is a secret technique used by ancestors to deal with emergencies. Their strength and even their bodies will be contributed to the souls of their ancestors to fight against this sudden and terrifying existence.
If, as Xian'er said, this man is the one who once appeared on the ancient battlefield, then it seems that the ancestors can only do this.
It sounds like God is really going to destroy their Celestial Fox clan. Back then, it was this person who cut off the path to immortality and caused the decline of their Tianhu clan, and now it was this person who appeared and wanted to completely destroy the ancestor who had already fallen.
As weak descendants, they have no choice but to become victims of this struggle.
This is probably what the so-called gods fight and mortals suffer.
"Xian'er, our clan has our own mission, but from now on, the debt we owe to our ancestors can be regarded as repaid. From now on, the burden of inheriting the inheritance of my Tianhu clan will fall on you." Without explaining too much, Su Ruoxi warned the three-tailed sky fox Su Xianer in front of her in a deep voice.
In order to cope with this moment, their family naturally has a special inheritance secret method. Through this secret method, the influence of this small world can be isolated and Su Xian'er can be protected from being swallowed up by the power of the ancestors.
But if you want to be devoured by the ancestors while deploying secret techniques, you need the strength of the whole family. In the end, only one clan member could survive this cruel choice, and everyone had no objection to the choice.
As members of the Sky Fox clan, their tails will grow as their strength grows. He embarked on the path of immortality since he was born, reaching the realm of refining qi, one tail.
Each time you advance to a higher level, a tail will grow. In other words, without the suppression of the secret realm, Su Xianer's realm should be at the golden elixir realm.
Although there are many celestial foxes here who have four-tailed and five-tailed realms, their limits have only reached this point. Although the ancient secret realm protects them, it is also their shackles.
Cultivation in the secret realm is extremely slow, and even if they go to the ground, they can only exert the strength of the foundation-building realm.
Golden elixir, Nascent Soul, Transformation God. Being able to reach the stage of becoming gods is their limit in this secret realm. The elders spent hundreds of thousands of years trying to achieve this state.
Su Xian'er is only a hundred years old now. She is the youngest genius in the Tianhu clan's history of thousands of years to reach the three-tailed golden elixir realm. She has the best talent and is the most promising person to restore the glory of the Tianhu clan.
