Chapter 206: Encounter in Secret Realm
Qingyun Palace, shortly after Li Yu and the other two left.
Beside Wang Heng, nearly a hundred figures came to the formation in a mighty manner.
In order to kill the mysterious man, he summoned half of the disciples and elders of the Tiandao Sect who entered the Dongtian Secret Realm to his side.
When they arrived here, they did not see the mysterious man in armor. He had obviously left.
Wang Heng was a little disappointed, but he was not worried that this person would escape.
Not long ago, a disciple of the Tiandao Sect found the exit of the secret realm. He has sent people out to inform the sect's strong men about the mysterious man slaughtering the disciples of the Tiandao Sect. Anyone leaving the secret realm will be questioned.
As long as he dares to show up, he will die.
Putting the matter of the mysterious man aside for the time being, Wang Heng looked at the formation in front of him and said, "Let's work together to break this formation first."
More than a hundred peak Jindan masters attacked at the same time, and the formation only lasted for a few breaths before collapsing in a violent tremor.
Wang Heng waved his hand and said, "After we find them, keep them alive first..."
Without the protection of the formation, Li Yu and his companions had no way to hide.
However, the people of Tiandao Sect searched all the palaces but did not see any trace of them.
Wang Heng frowned. Could it be that Li Yu, Nangong Chan and the others had sneaked away when that mysterious man massacred the disciples of Tiandao Sect?
The opportunity to simultaneously eliminate Qin Keren, Li Yu and Nangong Chan, three geniuses who will pose a huge threat to the Tiandao Sect in the future, is rare in itself, let alone doing it without anyone knowing.
By getting rid of them here, the Tiandao Sect can still stay out of the matter.
If it weren't for that guy who suddenly appeared, he would have succeeded.
It's all that damn guy's fault!
A young man beside Wang Heng said, "Brother, you are too reckless in this matter. After we leave here, I am afraid that the sect will have a hard time explaining to Kunlun and Xuanyin Sect."
Since the incident has already happened, there is no point in saying more. Wang Heng said nonchalantly: "So what? We will have a battle with them sooner or later. I am doing this for the sake of the sect. After a thousand years, who can compete with them?"
After all, Wang Heng was the son of the headmaster, so the young man could not say anything more about this matter.
He asked some more details about the mysterious man. So many peak Jindan masters of Tiandao Sect died tragically, and even the Jindan fell into his hands. This was not only a huge loss for Tiandao Sect, but also the worst incident that had never happened before.
This person must be found no matter what.
…
At this moment, in Piaomiao Xianzong, somewhere in a valley shrouded by a formation.
There is a spring in the center of the valley, formed entirely by spiritual energy.
Qin Keren soaked in the spring, and the completely liquefied spiritual energy rose into wisps of spiritual mist, which was absorbed into her body.
Her face was still pale. When her magic power was exhausted, she suffered a blow from the peak of the Golden Core. Even with healing pills, she would need some time to recuperate.
Li Yu chose this place because of the spring that could help Senior Sister Qin heal her injuries.
Fortunately, after tens of thousands of years, the spring still exists.
This is the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Piaomiao Immortal Sect. It was also the place where the top geniuses of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect practiced tens of thousands of years ago. The source of the spiritual liquid in the spring is this small world itself.
Both the big world and the small world can generate spiritual energy autonomously.
The spiritual energy produced by this secret realm has become so rich because no one has absorbed it for tens of thousands of years. It has even turned into spiritual mist that fills the entire secret realm.
However, this small world itself has declined over tens of thousands of years to the point where its space can only accommodate those in the Jindan stage.
Ten thousand years from now, this place might only be able to accommodate those in the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages.
Nangong Chan sat on the grass beside the spiritual spring and asked Li Yu, "What did you do just now?"
The storage ring on Li Yu's hand flashed with light, and more than thirty golden pills were scattered casually on the grass.
Among these golden elixirs, there are more than twenty of them, all of which have nine elixir patterns on them, and a small number have one to two elixir patterns.
Even Nangong Chan, a demonic witch, was stunned when she saw these golden elixirs and murmured, "Did you kill them all?"
Li Yu nodded and said calmly: "They deserve to die."
Nangong Chan looked at Li Yu as if she had just met him for the first time. In her eyes, Li Yu was always kind and could get along well with anyone...
It was the first time she had seen this side of him.
Having just killed more than 20 Jindan-stage cultivators of the Tiandao Sect, including the Yao brothers, in an extremely bloody way, Li Yu felt extremely calm.
The Yao brothers were fanning the flames in Wang Heng's ears all day long. Li Yu had long intended to kill them, but he had never found the opportunity.
And those people from the Tiandao Sect will have to bear such consequences the moment they take action against the demon girl and Senior Sister Qin.
Although he has always adhered to the philosophy of being kind to others, there is also a cruel side in his soul, which is the past that he does not want to recall in his previous life.
"They deserve to die." Although this sentence was full of murderous intent, when Nangong Chan heard it, her heart was filled with warmth.
She looked back and saw Qin Keren was still healing her wounds with her eyes closed in the spring, so she probably didn't notice them.
She moved closer to Li Yu, and when he was not paying attention, she suddenly threw him to the ground, and her sweet kisses rained down on Li Yu's face, releasing her joy to the fullest.
She finally confirmed that she was the most important Chanchan in Li Yu's heart.
In the spiritual spring.
Qin Keren slowly opened her eyes.
She glanced at the grass on the shore, and remembered the figure who pounced on Nangong Chan without hesitation when their magic shields were broken at the same time. A trace of sadness flashed in her beautiful eyes.
She didn't blame Li Yu, that was his choice.
Everyone has choices and trade-offs, and she certainly understands this. If she resented Li Yu because he chose Nangong Chan, then she would not be Qin Keren.
But she still couldn't suppress the loss in her heart.
He is her junior fellow apprentice.
He is one of the closest people to her in this world.
He was obviously closer to me.
But he still chose Nangong Chan.
Every time she thought of it, her heart seemed to be clenched.
She didn't want to have this emotion, but she couldn't control it at all.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in her twenty years of life, and it made her feel very tormented.
She closed her eyes, a tear slid down her veil, fell into the spiritual spring, and quickly disappeared.
…
A quarter of an hour later.
Li Yu's figure appeared outside the valley.
The formation guarding the spiritual spring is considered top-notch among all the formations of Piaomiao Immortal Sect. Without the strength of the Spirit Transformation Stage, it cannot be broken from the outside.
The spatial intensity of this secret realm is no longer as strong as it was tens of thousands of years ago. Even those in the Nascent Soul stage cannot enter, let alone the God Transformation stage. Therefore, it is absolutely safe for the demon girl and Senior Sister Qin to stay here.
As for Li Yu, he has other things to do.
He flipped his hand, and a compass with flashing light appeared in his hand.
Piaomiao Immortal Sect, somewhere on a mountain.
boom!
Under the attack of more than a hundred peak Jindan masters, the formation outside the ruins was quickly defeated, and the people from Tiandao Sect rushed in, but soon, disappointment appeared on everyone's face.
This secret place obviously belongs to an ancient sect.
They did find magical weapons, elixirs and other items left by their predecessors in various ruins, but unfortunately, before they could touch them, those things all turned to ashes.
According to the Tiandao Sect’s rich experience , this is because this secret realm has existed for too long, and all the items in it have decayed over the endless years.
In this way, there is no need to hold out any hope for other places.
The only useful things in this secret place are the elixirs.
With so many people gathered together, the efficiency of collecting elixirs was very low, but Wang Heng did not dare to let them disperse. The strength of the mysterious man still frightened him. Once they dispersed, except for himself, the disciples of Tiandao Sect who encountered the mysterious man would only have death.
At this moment, in addition to the more than one hundred people summoned by Wang Heng, there were nearly a hundred disciples of the Tiandao Sect scattered in the secret realm.
In a valley somewhere, the brother and sister Hu Wei and Hu Rou were covered in wounds.
Three disciples of Tiandao Sect formed a triangle and surrounded them. The brother and sister never imagined that the greatest danger in this secret realm did not come from the secret realm itself, but from these people from Tiandao Sect.
They had just been rescued, and not long after that they met people from the Tiandao Sect again.
When these three men saw them, they attacked directly. Although they had the ability to kill them easily, they chose to torture them.
The Hu Wei siblings knew that these people wanted to exhaust their magic power so that they could take their magic pills.
They should have self-destructed their demon pills and not given these people any chance, but cultivation is not easy, and it is even harder for the demon race. Unless there is no hope at all, who would be willing to self-destruct the golden pills they have cultivated with great effort?
Without the demon pill, they won't survive long here.
Just when the brother and sister were about to fight to the death, three bright lights suddenly flashed from behind the three Tiandao Sect disciples.
After the sword energy, three heads rolled to the ground.
The souls of the three people were strangled by the sword energy at the same moment.
A golden-armored figure walked out of the mist, skillfully threw fireballs, destroyed the bodies, and then took away their golden elixirs and storage magic weapons.
The Hu Wei siblings swallowed their saliva. Facing the three Tiandao Sect disciples, they were still determined to fight to the death. But facing this powerful golden-armored man, they didn't even have the courage to resist.
What was strange was that after the golden-armored man killed the three Tiandao Sect disciples, he just glanced at them and walked into the fog again.
The two demons looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.
The demon pill is also a golden pill, why doesn’t he want it?
…
In front of a certain relic, a Kunlun Jindan elder looked at the two Tiandao Sect elders who were slowly approaching. He retreated and said, "My two Daoists, if you like this relic, I will leave..."
Although the Tiandao Sect is also a righteous sect, here, this Jindan-stage master from Kunlun is not even trustworthy to his fellow disciples, let alone the people from the Tiandao Sect.
Facing the two strong men from Tiandao Sect, he had already begun to think of retreating, but he did not expect that just after he took a few steps back, the two men would attack without warning. He could only resist hastily, but with his strength, he could not fight two alone, and soon fell into a disadvantage. The two men from Tiandao Sect said nothing, but their moves were deadly. The Kunlun Golden Core Elder knew that today was a dangerous day, and he became ruthless and was about to activate the Golden Core to self-destruct.
Even if he died today, he would not let those two people have an easy time.
However, just as he raised his magic power, a hand fell on his shoulder.
He looked back, his heart immediately relaxed, and he said excitedly: "Young Master!"
When he saw this figure, he immediately felt at ease.
When the two Tiandao Sect's Jindan-stage cultivators saw Li Yu, their expressions changed and they immediately said, "Let's go!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them turned around and ran away without looking back.
They often heard of Li Yu's reputation. Being number one on the Nine Netherworld List was not something they could contend with.
The Kunlun Jindan elder bowed to Li Yu and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for saving me!"
Li Yu looked at him and said, "It's urgent. The people of Tiandao Sect are hunting down disciples from other sects. Senior Sister Qin has been injured by them. I need you to take the news outside and inform several Yuanying ancestors to ask for support from the sect. I also need to look for other Kunlun disciples..."
The elder's expression also turned solemn, and he said, "I obey the Young Master's order, but how do I get out?"
Li Yu pointed in a certain direction and said, "Ten miles ahead is the exit of this secret realm."
Just now, while searching for disciples of the Tiandao Sect, he had discovered the exit of the secret realm.
The elder nodded and said, "I'll go right away. Young Master, be careful too!"
Li Yu said: "I will."
Watching the Kunlun elder disappear in the mist, Li Yu's immortal clothes changed and turned into a golden armor again. Finally, it turned into a residual shadow and disappeared in the direction where the two Tiandao Sect Jindan escaped.
Soon after.
Li Yu stood in front of a corpse, frowning slightly.
One of the two Tiandao Sect elders had a large hole in his lower abdomen, and was deader than dead.
Blood was still oozing out of his wounds. He would die in no more than thirty breaths.
Li Yu looked at the spiritual mist rolling in a certain direction and chased after it again.
After dozens of breaths.
Ten feet in front of Li Yu, a corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang.
It was another elder of Tiandao Sect.
Before he died, his face was full of disbelief, as if he had not expected that a peak Jindan cultivator would fall so easily.
And next to his body, there was a figure standing.
In this person's hand, he was holding a scarlet golden elixir.
After seeing the figure's face clearly, Li Yu's pupils shrank slightly .
He was a young Taoist priest, who looked to be about twenty years old, with an ordinary appearance, but Li Yu still remembered him clearly.
An almost forgotten memory emerged in Li Yu's mind.
After several years, Li Yu met Zhou Tian again.
This man was originally a disciple of the Soul Refining Sect who was wanted by both the righteous and the evil. Not only did he almost kill Li Yu, Zhou Zixuan, Jiang Li, and Chen Ming at the hands of a ghost when Li Yu first came to this world, but later in the Thousand Poison Cave, he slaughtered many disciples of both the righteous and evil sects.
The Tiandao Sect once conducted a carpet search for him in the former drug den, but found nothing.
In the past few years, Zhou Tian disappeared from the world of immortal cultivation, and everyone thought he died in the Thousand Poison Cave.
But Li Yu never forgot him.
He still remembers the strange things that happened to this man.
The last time I saw Zhou Tian, his cultivation was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Five Spiritual Veins Qi Refining.
But at this moment, he had already reached the sixth level of the Five Spiritual Veins Golden Elixir.
Although his cultivation level was not increasing as fast as Li Yu's, he relied on the Qiankun Furnace and consumed almost all the resources of the Demonic Path to reach his current level of cultivation. This Zhou Tian's cultivation level was almost catching up with Li Yu.
When the figure in golden armor appeared, the young Taoist was also slightly stunned.
But he soon smiled and murmured, "Great , here comes another one..."
He put away the golden elixir and his figure disappeared from the spot. The next moment, a bloody hand reached for the lower abdomen of the golden-armored figure.
However, when he stretched out his hand halfway, his wrist was grabbed by someone.
Zhou Tian used all his magic power but was unable to break free.
A look of shock appeared on his face. He had the sixth stage of the Five Spiritual Veins Golden Core, and his strength was comparable to that of the thirtieth stage of the Golden Core. He should be invincible below the Nascent Soul stage. In this cave secret realm that could only be entered by the Golden Core stage, he could run rampant...
But the man in golden armor gave him the feeling of an insurmountable mountain.
He said in horror: "You, who are you!"
Li Yu didn't say anything.
Although Zhou Tian looked frightened, he still had enough confidence. He took a deep breath and said to the man in golden armor, "I advise you to let me go. If you push me too far, I can do anything. No matter how powerful you are, you will die..."
Seeing that the man in golden armor still didn't speak, Zhou Tianxin made up his mind and raised his other hand, but did not attack the man in golden armor. Instead, he slapped his own forehead.
Although he didn't want to do this, at the critical moment of life and death, he couldn't care less.
However, the other hand he had just raised was also grasped by the mysterious man.
A cold and harsh voice came from under the golden mask: "Ten golden elixirs above rank eight, and I will spare your life."
Zhou Tian raised his eyebrows: "Do you keep your word?"
The cold voice said: "You have no choice."
Zhou Tian's eyes flashed. Of course he had a choice. If he fought desperately, the man in golden armor would definitely die. But he did not like the feeling of losing his memory. Every time he lost his memory, the panic in his heart would intensify.
After a brief consideration, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ten is ten."
He could earn back the ten golden pills in a short time, so he might as well give them to the man in golden armor, as a way to avoid disaster.
He said decisively: "Let me go first."
The man in golden armor let go of one of his hands.
Zhou Tian took out ten eight- and nine-turn golden elixirs from his storage ring. After the man in golden armor received them, he kept his promise and let him go.
After regaining his freedom, Zhou Tian quickly escaped into the spiritual mist, and secretly made up his mind, "My golden elixir is not so easy to get. When my five spiritual veins golden elixir reaches the peak of the ninth level, I will come to settle the score with you!"
He fled for several miles and saw a Jindan-stage cultivator picking a magical herb in the fog ahead.
Zhou Tian was about to take action when he caught a glimpse of the alchemy furnace symbol on the other party's chest and paused.
He frowned and whispered, "It's from Kunlun, forget it..."
After he finished speaking, his expression turned uglier again. In the past few years, his thoughts seemed to be increasingly influenced by another consciousness. His intuition told him that if he continued like this, one day, he would no longer be himself.
In the end, he still did not attack the Kunlun disciple. After taking a deep breath, he disappeared into the spiritual mist again...
