Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"The city lord of Luofeng City sent several hundred servants, including more than twenty martial artists. But in the past three days, servants have been going missing every day, and even martial artists have disappeared."
"If you ask me, it must be some kind of monster in the salt lake that kidnapped the young lady of Luofeng City. She's probably already been washed and eaten in the lake! I once saw the young lady of Luofeng City from afar; that girl was so beautiful, her skin was so white and tender, like snow falling from the sky. I really want to..."
"Stop, stop! If the City Lord of Falling Maple City finds out you dare to talk about someone's daughter like that, you can forget about having a tongue."
The group quickly changed the subject, drinking and eating while discussing other things.
"A salt lake?"
Ye Feng thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Waiter, the bill!"
After leaving the inn, the night wind rushed towards the salt lake.
Based on the conversation of those people, Ye Feng felt that there should be a secret realm in that salt lake.
Of course, this is just Ye Feng's guess; we'll know for sure once we go and see for ourselves.
The salt lake is located 300 miles south of Falling Maple City, and the night wind will arrive here in two hours.
On the shore of the salt lake, there were two or three hundred people searching for something. Most of them were ordinary people, but there were also some martial artists among them.
It was obvious that these people were sent by the Lord of Fallen Maple City to find his daughter.
Some of the servants searched on the shore, some searched in boats in the salt lake, and some martial artists even dived into the lake to search.
However, these people could not affect Ye Feng. Ye Feng ignored them completely, concealed his figure, opened his golden eyes, and examined the bottom of the salt lake.
Under the watchful eye of Wanfa Jintong, Yefeng quickly discovered the clues.
Sure enough, there was a large formation at the bottom of the salt lake, and this formation was the entrance to the secret realm at the bottom of the lake.
However, perhaps due to its age, this great formation is no longer so stable and occasionally has flaws.
The young lady of the Fallen Maple City Lord, and the people who have gone missing in the past few days, most likely stumbled into the secret realm when the great formation malfunctioned!
Although Ye Feng has not yet recovered his full strength, his current strength is enough to break through this great formation.
But the night wind did not do that.
While forcibly breaking through the great formation is feasible, it would cause enormous disaster to this place.
Since the grand formation already had flaws, all we need to do is wait patiently and seize the opportunity to enter the secret realm at the bottom of the lake!
Several hours passed before we knew it.
As night fell, the searchers lit torches.
So the dark ground and the lake surface were filled with firelight.
Night Wind remained motionless in the air, waiting quietly. However, Night Wind could clearly sense several hidden auras scattered in the distance.
It seems that I wasn't the only one attracted.
Other martial artists also noticed the salt lake's unusual features and prepared to try their luck there.
Ye Feng did not attack those martial artists. They didn't even know if there were any good things in the secret realm at the bottom of the salt lake, so there was no need to rush into fighting.
It was already late at night.
Ye Feng, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them because he sensed the fluctuations in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The large array at the bottom of the lake trembled slightly, and a ripple that was difficult to see with the naked eye appeared on the surface of the lake.
This ripple is very long, yet extremely fine, about one-thousandth or even one-ten-thousandth the thickness of a hair.
But the night wind suddenly stirred the instant that ripple appeared!
The night wind rushed towards the ripple, and in an instant, he felt as if he were in another world.
"Is this the hidden realm at the bottom of the lake?"
Night Breeze surveyed its surroundings, a slight smile appearing on its face.
This place is a hilly area, with columnar hills everywhere, and the terrain is quite similar to the Thousand Forest River in the Five Elements World.
Moreover, the ground is covered with lush forests, resembling a seaside landscape, with rolling hills like waves and columnar hills like reefs in the sea.
Several other auras also appeared.
Ye Feng knew that other martial artists, like himself, had entered this underwater secret realm.
Night Wind ignored them and continued its search.
However, this secret realm, like the other secret realms Ye Feng had experienced, strongly interfered with his divine sense.
Ye Feng believed that the interference of the secret realm with divine sense was due to the instability of the space here.
In fact, Ye Feng had already made some guesses about the secret realm.
The secret realm should be a world smaller than a sub-realm.
The Heavenly Mirror of Golden Teeth once said that the Sub-realm is the leaf of the Dao Tree, so the Cave Heaven Secret Realm should be the fragments on the leaf.
This is precisely why the space here is incomplete, which greatly interferes with the spiritual sense of martial artists, severely suppressing their spiritual sense. Searching for others with spiritual sense becomes extremely difficult.
Suddenly, an insect with a golden shell emerged from the soil, ready to take flight.
But it discovered the presence of Night Wind, so it pounced on Night Wind and used the single horn on its head to stab Night Wind in the chest.
"A sixth-grade demonic beast..."
Although he didn't know what this golden beetle was, Ye Feng could tell its strength and grade.
Ye Feng didn't even need to use any magic weapons; he simply grabbed the golden beetle.
A clicking sound rang out.
Cracks appeared on the golden beetle's carapace, and red blood even gushed out.
When Ye Feng let go, the golden beetle fell to the ground, emitting a squeaking sound, clearly beyond saving.
But from beneath the ground all around, the same squeaking screams could also be heard.
Night Wind frowned and immediately disappeared.
Almost simultaneously, small mounds appeared on the ground, and one after another, golden beetles emerged from the soil, scanning their surroundings with their jewel-like eyes, seemingly searching for intruders.
This large swarm of golden beetles must number at least fifty or sixty!
"It's actually a pack of monsters... This secret realm seems quite dangerous." Night Wind muttered to himself.
Night Breeze was not afraid of these golden beetles, but there was no need to fight them here.
So Ye Feng abandoned the golden beetles and flew forward, searching for the core area of the secret realm at the bottom of the lake.
If there are any good things in a secret realm, they will definitely be in the core area; this is a general rule.
A mournful wail came from afar; clearly, someone had been attacked by a monster.
Ye Feng didn't go over to look. In this unfamiliar environment, curiosity can kill not only the cat, but also a person.
"Brother, would you please show yourself?"
Suddenly, a young man's voice came from ahead.
The night wind stopped, and looking in the direction from which the sound came, the Golden Eyes of Myriad Laws immediately activated.
