Everyone in Kun-Lai had gathered in front of the main hall. Seeing that the time was ripe, Sect Leader Yunluan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. Sure enough, the main hall soon fell silent, and everyone looked at Yunluan solemnly with a very respectful expression.
Yunluan spoke to the crowd and gave them some instructions, then he and several uncles came to the entrance of the Shuize Secret Realm. Several people displayed their surging spiritual energy, and the golden light in the sky condensed into a dazzling white light, which shot towards the dozens of talismans pasted at the entrance of the Shuize Secret Realm. In an instant, the entire earth suddenly trembled, and the deafening sound was clearly transmitted from underground to everyone's ears. The expressions of the people present changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes. Especially the disciples who had just entered the door and had never seen the Shuize Secret Realm were so scared that they shrank back, fearing that several ferocious beasts would suddenly jump out of the secret realm to hurt people.
Soon, the white light gradually weakened, and a huge entrance appeared in front of everyone. The entrance was covered by thick fog, and if you look closely, you can still see some flowers, plants and trees inside, but no one dared to go forward, and they stood still without daring to move.
Shen Shuyan used his spiritual energy to make his voice reach everyone's ears. He said, "Don't panic, everyone. The giant beast in the Shuize Secret Realm will not run out by itself. Just watch with peace of mind. There are small peepholes placed everywhere in the main hall. Disciples who are not participating in the competition can also observe everything in the Shuize Secret Realm through the small peepholes."
The disciples then relaxed and found a suitable place to sit down to watch the game. The 500 contestants stood in front of Yunluan with solemn expressions, waiting for the master's instructions.
Yun Luan said, "The secret realm is full of dangers. Not only are there strange beasts, but there are also all kinds of strange formations all around. Even ordinary flowers and plants may be poisonous. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never run out of firewood. If you are unable to resist the danger, tear up the amulet in your hand. At least you can save your life. Don't get entangled in a fight. All the uncles will rush to the scene as soon as possible, so don't worry too much."
While listening to these words, Lu Ming kept thinking about the story that he had almost forgotten. In the original work, Sang Wusheng seemed to enter the Shuize Secret Realm as a second-class disciple, and he was also the only second-class disciple in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Therefore, he attracted a lot of attention. Most people still looked at Sang Wusheng with a mentality of watching a good show. After all, this junior brother was handsome and was quite popular with his senior sisters and junior sisters, which made the brothers around him very dislike him. But this person has always been low-key and likes to be alone. The brothers are not familiar with him. Except for He Qingci, who lives with him, he has almost no contact with other people. If it weren't for the recent need to re-test everyone's qualifications in order to hold a trial meeting, almost no one would have discovered that Sang Wusheng was actually in the middle stage of the Golden Core and was fully qualified to enter the ranks of first-class disciples. And He Qingci also entered the secret realm with Sang Wusheng with the qualifications of the early stage of the Golden Core to participate in the trial.
To everyone's surprise, Sang Wusheng shined in the secret realm. Not only did he kill the most terrifying beast in the secret realm, the Evil Dragon, but he also won the first place in this trial competition, leaving the second place He Qingci far behind. He also met a member of his harem in the secret realm, and had sex with the little apprentice sister who was poisoned by the evil spirit, and successfully took her into his harem. This little apprentice sister was Uncle Yun Che's niece, Chen Yanyan.
Lu Ming's thoughts drifted far away until the disciples nodded in response to Yun Luan, which brought him back to his senses.
Yun Luan looked at the disciples with satisfaction and nodded, indicating that everyone could enter the Shuize Secret Realm. Then Shen Shuyan led everyone into the secret realm, while Lu Ming and Jing Mo followed at the end of the team to look after them.
The Shuize Secret Realm was filled with smoke and there were many forks in the road. Every few steps there was a fork in the road. The large team had to stop and go, following the arrangements of the senior brothers.
Shen Shuyan thought for a moment and said to Lu Ming: “There are so many forks in this secret realm, why not split into several teams, what do you think?”
Lu Ming nodded, then gathered all the remaining senior brothers together, and each senior brother led a team. In this way, the five hundred people were divided into dozens of small teams. These temporary teams quickly chose their own direction, bid farewell to the main force, and then used their spiritual energy to fly towards one of the roads.
Lu Ming naturally did not separate from Jing Mo. Since they were both senior brothers, they led a larger team of 25 people. Lu Ming took out an object from the space and injected spiritual energy into it. The magic weapon began to emit a light purple light. The light became stronger and stronger, and it could penetrate the thick fog in front of it, illuminating the road and the surrounding environment within ten meters.
Everyone looked around, and saw countless exotic flowers and plants everywhere, which was simply unheard of. Lu Ming said to everyone: "Walk in the middle of the road, don't touch the flowers and plants, so as not to be poisoned."
Just as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the middle of the team, scaring everyone and making them shudder. They hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound. They saw a beautiful woman in a yellow shirt sitting on the ground, with tears in her beautiful eyes, and fear and anxiety in her eyes.
The fellow apprentice beside her quickly helped her up and asked, "Senior Sister Shen, what's wrong with you?"
The woman's face was pale and her body was still shaking. Her wrist seemed to be injured and hung limply to her side, with blood dripping onto the ground.
"Not good." Lu Ming's expression changed, and he hurried forward, took out a talisman, and silently recited a formula. With a "bang", the talisman immediately emitted a pungent odor, covering up the faint smell of blood in the air. Then he took out the medicine bottle, took out a detoxification pill and handed it to her, saying, "Take this snow shepherd's purse pill first."
The woman took the pill and swallowed it, then said to Lu Ming gratefully, "Thank you, Senior Brother. It was Yanyan who was too careless and got hurt by the sharp thorns on the poisonous grass."
Lu Ming smiled faintly and said, "It's okay. Just be more careful next time."
Shen Yanyan nodded, raised her head and swallowed the snow shepherd's purse pill. Seeing that she was fine, Lu Ming walked to the front of the team with a calm expression, but his heart was surging. Shouldn't Shen Yanyan be in the same team as Sang Wusheng? Why did she come to his team now? Could it be that Sang Wusheng was mixed in this team?
Lu Ming observed secretly but didn't say anything. Jing Mo, who was standing by, saw Lu Ming's expression change and lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Lu Ming came back to his senses and avoided answering his previous thought. He just said with some concern: "I was worried that the smell of blood just now would attract giant beasts, so I used the talisman to cover up the smell. However, Kun-Lai Summit is full of spiritual energy, and those beasts are generally very powerful and have a very sensitive sense of smell. I don't know if it will be too late. Well, you should explore the spiritual sense everywhere first, and pay attention to the surrounding situation."
Jing Mo nodded, then turned to the team and said, "Be alert and report any abnormalities immediately."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and just as they were about to move forward, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the front. Then, the whole place began to tremble slightly, and the vibration was getting stronger and stronger.
Everyone's faces changed, and they saw fear on each other's faces. If they guessed correctly, the bloody smell really attracted the strange beast.
Shen Yanyan's face turned pale, and tears began to fall again. She covered her face and cried, choking with sobs: "Senior Brother Qingci, it's all my fault. I led the strange beast here."
Lu Ming spoke to comfort them, "The secret realm is full of dangers, and this is to be expected. Now is not the time to blame others. Everyone, please be patient, take out your own magic tools and spells, and prepare to fight the enemy."
Everyone's expression became solemn, and they took out magic tools from their Qiankun bags, looking vigilantly at the location where the sound came from. The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and the terrifying roar seemed to be heard from a long distance away. Jing Mo withdrew his spiritual consciousness, and then said to Lu Ming in a deep voice: "Brother, we have encountered a group of beasts."
Lu Ming's heart suddenly jumped. It turned out to be a group of beasts!
The reason why the Shuize Secret Realm is so scary, besides the unpredictable formations, is probably the herd of beasts. Originally, one beast was enough to make several people difficult to deal with. If you encounter a group of beasts, you can imagine that the chance of defeating them head-on is almost zero. Those beasts are not only huge in size and amazing in strength, but also agile and intelligent, so it is difficult to defeat them easily. In such a situation, the only way is to escape!
Lu Ming shouted, "Hold your breath and retreat!"
The brothers hurriedly followed Lu Ming's command, restrained their breath, and used their spiritual energy to run wildly in the direction they came from. Unfortunately, the group of strange beasts had an extremely sensitive sense of smell and quickly caught everyone's breath. They quickly chased in the direction of everyone's escape, with a constant rumbling sound and a tendency to gradually shorten the distance.
Lu Ming and Jing Mo followed at the end of the team, both with a hint of uneasiness on their faces, their lips tightly pursed, and they said nothing. After a long while, Lu Ming said, "Xiao Mo, you lead everyone to escape first, and I'll cover you."
Jing Mo was shocked when he heard this. He stared at Lu Ming and refused decisively, "No!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath and said, "If this continues, we will be caught up by the monsters sooner or later. You and I can still protect ourselves, but my junior brothers and sisters can't. You take them and escape quickly. I will lead these monsters to other places. Don't worry, I have a way to escape."
Jing Mo clenched his fists tightly and said, "I will never leave you alone. If you want to cover us, let me do it."
"No." Lu Ming interrupted Jing Mo and said, "You don't have as many magic tools to escape as I do. If you stay behind, the consequences will be disastrous. Believe me."
Jing Mo wanted to say something, but Lu Ming suddenly stopped. Before everyone could react, he suddenly took out a palm-sized ball from the space. The ball was translucent and bright. As long as the spiritual energy was injected into it, it would suddenly emit a strong luster. Then, a barrier like a mirror suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ming.
Suddenly, everyone and Lu Ming were blocked on both sides by this white barrier. Jing Mo stopped and suddenly ran towards Lu Ming, constantly exerting his spiritual energy to hammer open the barrier, but the barrier was extremely strong and could not be shaken at all even with 100% of his strength. Jing Mo's eyes were slightly red, and he shouted at Lu Ming: "Brother! What do you want to do!"
Lu Ming looked a little anxious. It would be too late if he was late. He didn't bother to say anything more, but just said to Jing Mo urgently: "Hurry up, the beasts are coming soon! Wait until the beasts leave before you come to find me!"
Jing Mo looked at Lu Ming deeply, his eyes surging with emotions, as if the fire that never went out was gradually fading. He looked at Lu Ming expressionlessly, and shouted to the disciples who were standing there at a loss, "Go!" The disciples came to their senses and hurriedly used their spiritual energy to run forward. Jing Mo never looked back at Lu Ming from beginning to end.
Lu Ming didn't know why, but his heart suddenly ached, and the guilt rushed towards him like a rolling river. But if he didn't do this, others would die. Lu Ming had never done anything against his conscience in his life, and he didn't feel that he owed anyone. The only person he felt guilty about was Jing Mo.
At first, he was the one who dragged Jing Mo into the dispute, and had to take him away from the He Mansion and live a life of displacement; then he got into big trouble with Cang Zhi, and in the end, it was because of him that he quietly left without saying a word and agreed to Cang Zhi's conditions on his behalf; and now, he came to Kun-Lai Summit for him. He treated him sincerely... He will always remember all these things in his heart and dare not forget them. In his previous life, Lu Ming was killed by his own brother. He did not dare to trust others easily, and did not think that there was anyone or anything worth lingering in this world. However, Jing Mo appeared in his vitality and became his greatest sustenance and dependence. He would not allow the other party to have any mistakes. These dangers should be borne by him alone.
