"No, Lu Tao, you're trying to kill us."
"Lu Tao, do you really intend to wipe them all out?"
Everyone panicked, even more terrified than if their dantian had been destroyed.
Although he has lost his dantian, he still has a physical body, and at least his internal organs are fully refined. With the addition of martial arts skills and divine sense, his strength can rival that of an ordinary innate master.
In addition, there were magical artifacts and other items in the storage ring.
They can set up formations or drive away the ferocious beasts; at least they still have hope of survival.
Who would want to die if they could live?
Even sects at the Martial God level are not without spiritual herbs and precious medicines to repair the dantian.
As long as they have the storage ring, they can exchange it for resources and restore their cultivation level in the future.
But now, Lu Tao isn't even leaving them storage rings, which is tantamount to cutting off their escape route.
Everyone screamed in terror, trying to resist and escape.
But without a doubt, this is futile.
Without innate cultivation, they couldn't fly, and Lu Tao kicked them all to the ground, looting all their storage bags, storage rings, and innate spiritual artifacts.
"No, Lu Tao, we can't survive without these things."
"No, please leave us something!"
In order to survive, the people disregarded their dignity and pleaded with Lu Tao for mercy.
"You actually know that stealing from others can make it impossible for them to survive?"
Lu Tao looked at everyone in surprise and clicked his tongue, saying, "Since you all have such awareness, what were you doing before?"
Everyone paused upon hearing this.
You won't know the pain unless the whip hits you.
They spent their days chasing eagles, but they never expected to be pecked in the eye by an eagle. This time, they really suffered a big setback at Lu Tao's hands.
This mishap could mean their demise in the secret realm.
This left them filled with regret, but it was too late to change anything.
All I can say is that they picked the wrong person this time.
"Let's go."
Lu Tao packed up all his belongings, put his arm around He Yuanshuang, and flew away in an instant.
Kong Xin and Wu Ming followed closely behind.
"Damn it, we must make the ancestor kill him, and kill all of them."
Watching Lu Tao and his companions disappear from sight, a disciple of the Shadowless Palace, his face filled with resentment and his eyes blazing with hatred, vented his anger in a low voice.
call out!
Suddenly, at that moment.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a streak of light flew in from afar.
"help me!"
The man was terrified and tried his best to circulate his perfected internal organ cultivation and perfected innate divine sense to resist.
Hopefully, others will also lend a helping hand.
But instead of helping him, the others all retreated far away in fear.
Then……
With a soft "poof".
The beam of light ignored all his resistance, pierced through his forehead in an instant, shot out from the back of his head, leaving a bloody hole, and flew back the way it came in the blink of an eye.
With a bang.
The man's face still showed traces of terror as he fell straight down, his eyes unfocused and his breath gone.
Even their divine sense was directly blasted apart.
Everyone watched the departing streak of light, and they all swallowed hard with fear, not daring to utter another word.
——
"Brother Tao, if the Shadowless Palace, the Soul Palace, and the Blood Demon Palace find out about this, will they cause trouble for our Immortal Sect?"
On the way, Wu Ming was still somewhat worried.
While it was satisfying to rob those people of their things, he was still quite worried because they had powerful backers.
Wu Ming was already very familiar with the morals of evil forces when he was in Dafeng Town.
In his view, these groups were no different from the Axe Gang.
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about these things."
Lu Tao laughed and said, "Instead of worrying about these things, you might as well focus on your cultivation and break through to the Marrow Refining Realm as soon as possible, so you can also help Brother Tao share some of the burden."
"Brother Tao, I've tried my best, I'm almost at the perfect stage of refining my internal organs." Wu Ming said with a bitter face.
He wanted to follow in Tao's footsteps, but his talent wouldn't allow it.
Lu Tao teased, "Your sister Shuang has already reached the perfect stage of organ refinement."
"What?"
Wu Ming was startled and subconsciously glanced at Sister Shuang, only to find that her aura was nothing short of perfected organ refinement.
He hadn't noticed it before.
"How could it be so fast? Yesterday he was only at the mid-stage of the Organ Refinement Realm."
Wu Ming was full of confusion and chattered on, "Brother Tao, did you give Sister Shuang some special tutoring? That must be it, otherwise Sister Shuang's aptitude isn't as good as mine, she couldn't have reached the Perfection of Internal Organs so quickly. Brother Tao, give me some special tutoring too..."
Upon hearing this, He Yuanshuang was not angry at all; instead, she smiled broadly.
Before.
She also envied Wu Ming's good fortune in obtaining the lowest grade of the best qualifications.
Now, she has a balanced mindset, and her luck is not bad, or even better.
"Such a fast cultivation speed."
Kong Xin was also very surprised.
To advance from the mid-stage of Organ Refinement to the perfect stage in just one day—such talent far surpasses hers.
Kong Xin was very curious: since He Yuanshuang had such talent, how come she was only at the Refining Organs Realm now?
She was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions.
Having only joined the Immortal Sect for a day, it's best not to pry into such secrets.
——
The four chatted and laughed all the way back to the beach.
The monks who remained on the beach looked on with great curiosity when they saw the four people.
They were eager to know what became of the people from the Shadowless Palace and the Soul Hall—whether they were killed by Lu Tao or left unpunished.
only.
They weren't familiar with Lu Tao, so they didn't ask him anything rashly. Instead, they looked at a woman in the crowd.
This woman was the same female cultivator who had previously told Lu Tao the news.
The female cultivator was around twenty-five years old, very beautiful, and slender, but only about 1.6 meters tall.
at this time.
The female cultivator hurriedly approached Lu Tao and his companions, asking, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what did you do to those people?"
She was somewhat worried that if Lu Tao killed all those people, even with the sect's support, she would probably still be punished.
"Two were killed, the others are still alive."
Hearing Lu Tao say this, the female cultivator felt relieved, but then Lu Tao said, "However, I have destroyed the dantian of the others. Whether they can survive or not depends on themselves."
"Well... as long as they're still alive, that's fine."
The female cultivator was speechless, and at the same time, she was shocked by Lu Tao's ruthless methods.
Those were disciples from several powerful forces, yet Lu Tao didn't spare a single one, killing two and crippling the cultivation of the others.
Isn't he worried about retaliation from those forces?
Fortunately.
Most of those people are still alive. Although they have lost their innate cultivation, they can survive by relying on spiritual artifacts, innate divine sense, and formations.
But she didn't know that those people had nothing left but themselves.
The others were also taken aback upon hearing this.
Then, a sudden thought struck some of them.
Those were a group of experts at the peak of the Innate Realm, and they came from powerful factions. They must have had plenty of resources and treasures, especially since they liked to rob others.
Now that his dantian is destroyed and his cultivation is ruined, isn't he just a dozen fat sheep?
These people were itching to leave, but they couldn't leave now because Lu Tao and the others were still there.
Lu Tao saw all of this, a broad smile on his face, and cupped his fists to the female cultivator, saying, "I didn't have a chance to thank you earlier, fellow Daoist. May I ask how you should address me?"
The female cultivator smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Miaotong, and I come from Linghuang Palace."
Linghuang Palace is also a force at the level of a Martial God.
Lu Tao was not surprised. The reason he had asked Zhao Miaotong for information earlier was because he could tell from her expression that she was not afraid of forces such as the Shadowless Palace.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhao. Fellow Daoist Zhao, do you still need to wait for your fellow disciple?"
Lu Tao said, "My disciples have all gathered and are about to head towards the outer perimeter of the secret realm. If you are willing, you may also travel with us."
"Thank you for your kindness, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Zhao Miaotong hesitated for a moment, glanced at her junior sister, and shook her head, politely declining, "We still need to wait for the other junior sisters, so we won't go with Fellow Daoist Lu."
"Alright, I'll take my leave now."
Lu Tao didn't insist. He cupped his hands in greeting, turned around, and led He Yuanshuang and the other two to the side. Then he waved his hand and threw a boat into the sea.
The ship, which was originally only the size of a palm, was transformed into a giant ship in the blink of an eye.
After the four boarded the ship, they steered the fifth-class giant ship away from the shore.
The area surrounding the secret realm is a vast ocean, which has a unique characteristic: it is a no-fly zone.
No one may fly over the vast ocean.
The only way to reach the altar is by boat.
"There are so many magical artifacts."
Many people looked on with envy as they watched the giant ship depart.
For items like boats, which are not frequently used for travel, the items in their storage rings are only ordinary entry-level items, far from reaching the level of fifth-tier spiritual artifacts.
They were naturally very envious.
While feeling envious, they couldn't help but look at Zhao Miaotong.
Sure enough, Zhao Miaotong regretted not accepting Lu Tao's invitation. If she had known that Lu Tao was using a fifth-grade high-quality giant ship, she would have insisted on going along.
Zhao Miaotong's junior sister was also somewhat annoyed.
"Just who is Lu Tao?"
Everyone was very curious.
Although they all knew of Lu Tao, who had helped Da Gan uncover a large number of spies and traitors with just one song, they didn't know much about him.
Previously, most people thought that Lu Tao was just a lucky teenager.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
They didn't know Lu Tao's talent or combat strength, but the mere sight of his magical artifacts sent chills down everyone's spines.
A third-tier puppet and a third-tier array plate—such treasures are actually in the possession of a mere nine-year-old boy who is only at the late stage of the Internal Refinement Realm. It's simply unbelievable.
Therefore, it is clear that Lu Tao and his companions must possess other treasures of the same level.
Some even suspected that Lu Tao might have a martial god behind him.
Zhao Miaotong watched the giant ship disappear from sight, sighed silently, and said, "Junior sister, let's go to the inner perimeter now."
Zhao Miaotong was waiting for her junior sister. The reason she didn't rush to the inner perimeter of the secret realm immediately was because she was waiting for Lu Tao and wanted to know the specific results.
Now that her junior sister had arrived and the outcome was known, she decided to leave now.
"good."
Immediately, the two took out a small, low-grade seventh-rank boat and swayed towards the altar.
It quickly disappeared into the vast sea.
"Hmm? My junior brother seems to be in trouble."
At this moment, someone's expression suddenly changed, and he flew rapidly into the forest, seemingly to help his junior brother.
"Oh no! My junior sister sent me a message; she encountered a ferocious beast." Another person flew away with a grim expression.
"Damn it, how come there are so many ferocious beasts? My senior sister encountered one too."
"It seems there's been a rampage by ferocious beasts nearby; my senior brother has also asked me for help."
...
In the blink of an eye, about ten people at the peak of the Innate Realm flew away almost simultaneously.
The group of people were left looking at each other, their expressions becoming tense, wondering whether they should set sail immediately.
Sudden.
Someone belatedly remarked, "Wait a minute, do you think it's possible they weren't going to rescue anyone, but instead went to find those people from the Shadowless Palace, the Soul Hall, and the Blood Demon Palace?"
