"Young Master Lu, that great demon didn't chase after us, did it? How did you escape its pursuit?"
The other members of the five major sects, however, asked curiously. Just now, Lu Chen had seized the Heavenly Demon Stone Mountain, and the demon race's primary target was Lu Chen. Seeing that Lu Chen was safe and sound, they naturally found it a bit unbelievable.
Lu Chen said calmly, "Fortunately, that great demon seemed to hate the Demonic Sect more than our human cultivators, so I found a chance to slip away! By the way, didn't you notice something? The closer we get to the Heavenly Demon Palace, the larger the Heavenly Demon Stones seem to be. Could it be that there are even larger Heavenly Demon Stone mountains?"
He said that on purpose.
The goal was to divert everyone's attention, so they wouldn't covet the Heavenly Demon Stone Mountain they had just obtained.
Elder Yunfeng of the Liuyun Sect frowned, but said, "It is indeed possible, but the closer we get to the Heavenly Demon Palace, the more dangerous it becomes. Let's explore the outer perimeter slowly! Besides the Heavenly Demon Stone, there are other rare and precious materials, some of which are even more valuable than the Heavenly Demon Stone!"
They were truly afraid.
The great demon has come out; anyone who encounters it will die. If Lu Chen hadn't held off that great demon this time, at least half of the people from the five major sects would have died.
"There aren't many treasures left in this outer area, are there? I suggest you end your trip to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm here and leave. Of course, this is just my suggestion; whether you listen to it or not is up to you!"
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he saw that everyone's expressions were indifferent, and some were even unhappy.
"Alright, Senior Brother Jianyun, Senior Brother Jianyu, let's go!"
Lu Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute to the elders of the five major sects, including Yunfeng.
If we're searching for treasure on the outskirts, it's obviously inappropriate to have so many people together. Who will be responsible if we find the treasure?
Everyone knew this, so there was no objection.
Yuan Ziyue seemed to have something to say, but when she saw Lu Chen's indifferent expression, she swallowed it back down.
The three members of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect left.
"Senior brother, let me send you out first, so you can leave the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm!"
After Lu Chen and his two companions parted ways with the five major sects, they immediately spoke with solemn expressions.
Jian Yun was taken aback and said, "Hmm? Why? When I heard you say that just now, I thought..."
Jian Yu, however, seemed to be deep in thought.
Lu Chen frowned and said, "This Heavenly Demon Secret Realm is about to change. I have a bad feeling. In short, you'd better leave as soon as possible!"
"good!"
Jian Yu nodded, looked at Lu Chen, and laughed, "Now that you are the sect leader, we dare not disobey your orders. You don't need to consult us, haha! But you're staying here, right? Be careful!"
Jianyun smiled too.
"Don't worry, I'm confident!"
The three traveled at breakneck speed and soon returned to the entrance where they had started.
With a thought, Lu Chen released Chan'er, Yiyi, and Jianxue, saying, "You two leave this Heavenly Demon Secret Realm with your two senior brothers. Oh, and Senior Brother Jianyu, keep these!"
Lu Chen waved his hand and tossed out a spatial ring to Jian Yu.
This spatial ring contains a large number of rare and precious materials, including many Heavenly Demon Stones, and even a cultivation technique jade slip specially left by Lu Chen.
He passed on the Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique, as well as the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin and the Soaring Void Step, among other techniques.
The jade slip clearly states that everyone in the Myriad Swords Sect can cultivate, and Lu Chen even left behind his own cultivation insights.
"As the sect leader, it's time for me to do something for the sect!" Lu Chen thought to himself.
Jian Yu scanned the area with his spiritual sense and was immediately stunned. It took him a while to gasp for breath before he came to his senses. His expression was full of excitement. The rise of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was just around the corner.
"As you command, Sect Leader!"
For the first time, Jian Yu bowed respectfully to Lu Chen.
Jian Yun was taken aback, and then bowed respectfully in return.
The three girls, Chan'er, were stunned.
"Alright, you all cultivate diligently. I hope that when I return to the sect, the Myriad Swords Sect will have a new look!"
After saying that, Lu Chen transformed into a streak of light, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon.
The three women were reluctant to part.
"Let's go back!"
Jian Yu calmed down. This trip to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm hadn't yielded much for him and his companions, but Lu Chen had given him an unexpected surprise.
"There are quite a few things from the Demonic Sect inside this spatial ring. Could it be that Lu Chen found these on the corpses of Demonic Sect cultivators? I'm increasingly unable to understand this Junior Brother Lu Chen!"
Jian Yu and Jian Yun, along with Chan'er and the other two girls, left the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm and returned to the Myriad Swords Sect.
The people from the five major sects continued their search on the outskirts, but just as Lu Chen said, the treasures they could find were becoming fewer and fewer. Not to mention the Heavenly Demon Stone, they couldn't even find spiritual herbs like the Blood Orchid, which were unique to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm.
The sky above the Heavenly Demon Realm grew increasingly dark.
Deep underground.
Heavenly Demon Palace.
"Damn demons! How could a powerful demon have entered this place without my noticing?"
The voice, which came from an unknown source, sounded somewhat exasperated.
Little did she know that this great demon had not entered the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm through the entrance at all, but had been brought in by Lu Chen.
"Hmph! You forced me to this! Now, all I can do is suffer some damage to my cultivation!"
A single thought arises.
A strange whirlwind suddenly swept through the entire Heavenly Demon Secret Realm, almost omnipresent.
The whirlwind swept across a desolate desert, whipping up a cloud of yellow sand.
Beneath the yellow sand, a rotting beast corpse lay so decayed that its original form was almost unrecognizable. Suddenly, a beam of blood-red light descended from the sky and entered the beast's corpse.
