Chapter 236 Xiaoyao Sect’s concerns
In Taiyue Lake, thousands of miles away from Taiyue Hufang City, the calm lake water suddenly turned red. The fish and shrimp nearby were so startled that they quickly fled from the place.
A moment later, two huge red wings flew across the lake into the air. After a flash of inspiration, they transformed into a woman in red.
Huo Feng, who looked a little pale, frowned in the air, and then suddenly quickly grabbed the lake with one hand.
A huge phantom of a chicken claw suddenly descended from the sky and snatched a giant black shrimp several feet long hiding under the water from the water into the air.
This black shrimp was just a second-level demonic beast, and its intelligence had not yet been fully developed. Facing the terrifying coercion emanating from the fire phoenix, it was so frightened that it trembled and did not dare to move.
"Fellow Taoist, please don't be angry. It's just following the order of King Iron Wall to see if you can come out safely. Otherwise, if something happens to you here, we won't be able to explain it to Lord Jin Yu. "At the same time, an old voice quickly reached Huofeng's ears from the depths of the lake.
After Huofeng glared slightly in the direction of the sound, he clenched his arms tightly. Before the giant shrimp in the air could let out a scream, it was quickly squeezed into several pieces and fell down. On the lake, she turned into a red light and left.
After the fire phoenix left, another sigh came from the depths of the lake, and then it slowly returned to calm. The corpse of the giant shrimp on the water soon attracted nearby monsters to gnaw on it. Soon It turned into a pile of skeletons and slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
On Guyang Mountain, in the Xiaoyao Sect's main hall, the usually aloof elder Guangling Zhenren and the elder Li Wutong of the Law Enforcement Hall are looking nervously at the only Nascent Soul cultivator of the Xiaoyao Sect standing at the top, Taishang. Elder Li Mufeng.
"The person who can shatter the void barrier, if they read it correctly, this female cultivator is most likely a Yuanying Taoist. There are only a few Yuanying female cultivators around Weiguo. I have never heard of anyone. It’s really strange that such a fellow Taoist, a dignified Yuanying monk, would be interested in the things in the Taiyue Secret Realm!”
Master Guangling said: "Uncle Li, since this person may be a Nascent Soul cultivator, take a look! Do you want to go to Taiyue Lake to have a look?"
Li Mufeng waved his hand and said: "Forget it! The Golden Feather Demon Emperor in the north has been moving near the border recently. I can't leave casually at this time."
When he mentioned the name of the Golden Feather Demon Emperor, Li Mufeng's tone clearly contained a trace of concern. This Demon Emperor, who lives next door to Weiguo, has been frequenting Weiguo for some reason in recent times. After several battles, although the opponent He didn't take any advantage, but it still kept him from getting away, which gave him a headache now.
"Uncle! This time, all the belongings of several sects in the inner valley were taken away by this person. Especially the Lingyin Sect suffered a great loss. Many of the monks they sent eventually died in the hands of this person. We If we don't investigate this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to them." Master Guangling reminded him anxiously.
"You are really confused. Since this matter has already involved the Nascent Soul cultivator, what else can be explained? They just lost some insignificant personal belongings. Lingyin Sect and others are not stupid enough to pay for such things. Several foundation-building monks went to find trouble with a strange Yuanying Daoist." Li Mufeng looked back at him and shook his head slightly.
Seeing the Supreme Elder opening his mouth to reprimand, Master Guangling's expression changed, he closed his mouth instantly, nodded in embarrassment, and did not dare to say anything more.
Seeing that Guangling Zhenren was stunned, Li Wutong chuckled secretly in his heart. After thinking about it, he stepped forward and said: "Uncle, anyway, Taiyue Secret Realm is under the jurisdiction of our Xiaoyao Sect. This person doesn't want to say hello." Just sneak in and kill people to get treasures. If the monks below find out about this, we will definitely lose our prestige if we don't pursue the investigation. The top priority is to inform the disciples who know about this first to stop spreading it indiscriminately, and Lingyin There are also many people at Zonghe Xingchen Gate who know about this, should we say hello to them again."
"Second order, the disciples who entered the secret realm this time, no matter who they are, are not allowed to spread the word, otherwise they will be punished according to the sect rules. As for Lingyin Sect and Xingchen Sect, we don't have to worry about it. Situ Yan and Zheng Laogui They are all old monsters who have practiced for many years, and they should know the severity of this matter better than us. "
Song Qingming, who was still in Taiyue Hufang City, finally saw Huang Shengxin and the others after waiting in the inn for half a day. Seeing that the three of them walked out of the secret realm safe and sound, Song Qingming finally felt relieved.
After parting in the secret realm that day, Huang Shengxin and others looked around the area but did not see his figure. They thought something had happened to Song Qingming, and they quickly left there.
Facing the inquiries of several people, Song Qingming quickly came up with the story he had prepared in advance. He lied that when he was getting rid of those monsters, he was secretly attacked by a monk and was injured. He could only flee in panic. Although he escaped with his life in the end, he also suffered some injuries. He could only find a place to hide and heal his wounds, and did not escape until the secret realm was reopened.
After hearing what happened to Song Qingming, Huang Shengxin and others unexpectedly showed great concern. They kept asking who the attacker was and what he looked like, and wanted to help him analyze who his enemy was.
Seeing that he could not avoid their questioning, Song Qingming could only tell Chen Yuan's appearance, but he only casually described his appearance and did not tell anything else.
However, at this point, Huang Shengxin and others still roughly guessed Chen Yuan's identity. Next, Song Qingming learned from them that this person was a casual cultivator from the neighboring country of Lu, or a person who liked to collect bounties in the black market. Assassin on this mission, it’s no wonder that Chen Yuan’s stealth skills are so good.
As for Huang Shengxin and the others, they did not lose heart after Song Qingming disappeared, and continued to search for spiritual objects in the secret realm. However, their harvest was mediocre, and they did not find the life-extending spiritual object that Huang Shengxin wanted most.
In the valley outside the secret realm, the number of spiritual objects becomes smaller as you go to the back. Many people will target other monks, just like Chen Yuan who was killed by Song Qingming before. He deliberately hid near the cliff, waiting for an ambush before he fell alone. Came to take refuge with the monks.
This time, there were no surprises in the secret realm. In the last few days, it became particularly bloody. After more than 300 monks in the outer valley fought with each other, only more than half of them could make it out alive.
Fortunately, Huang Shengxin had experienced the secret realm once and knew the dangers inside. In the last few days, he found a place to hide in advance, and the three of them finally walked out of the secret realm safe and sound.
After talking about their respective experiences, several people discussed and decided to return to Qinghe County a few days later. There are still many people in Fang City who have come out of the secret realm, and everyone has more or less spiritual objects with them. At this time If you leave Fangshi, you might be targeted, so it would be safer to wait a few days before everyone is gone.
During the few days he stayed in Taiyue Hufang City, although Song Qingming did not go out for a stroll, he still heard a lot of news spread in the secret realm.
Among them, the news that shocked him the most was that Lingyin Sect unexpectedly lost many disciples in the secret realm this time. He heard that only half of the disciples who entered the secret realm finally came out, and there were still many people who were injured. They were all injured, and they were in an extremely embarrassing state.
