Chapter 56: I'll Save You from Death

Night fell in the blink of an eye.

The moonlight poured into the secret realm, illuminating the dead trees and rocks with a snow-white glow, creating a gloomy and eerie feeling.

In a tree hole.

Ning Daoran drove away a brown bear and claimed this place as his own. He just practiced the Breath-Containing Technique and took a short rest.

Along the way, he kept using earth and wood escape techniques, which consumed too much mana. He needed to meditate and recover every once in a while, otherwise he would not be able to continue.

He was silent and merged into one with the entire world.

The eleven levels of the Longevity Secret were running in his body, and the continuously generated wood-attributed magic power spread to his limbs and bones, quickly replenishing the magic power consumed in his body.

This meditation lasted all night.

The next morning, the morning light penetrated the clouds and poured into the forest.

"rustle……"

Ning Daoran made only a few noises before he escaped again, looking for a new opportunity.

Soon after, a cliff.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, and in addition, there was a faint scent of spiritual medicine.

Ning Daoran frowned and followed the smell and escaped.

Soon after, he appeared in front of the two bodies.

One of them was an outer disciple of the Chaos Sect. He was at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but because he was too old, he lost the qualification to enter the inner sect. However, he did not want to die here.

The other corpse was an outer disciple of the Fenhai Sect, who was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Judging from the wound, the Chaos Sect disciple's fatal wound came from the back. He was stabbed in the heart from behind and lost his life. Such a close-range stab in the back was obviously caused by a companion.

The murderer was naturally the disciple of Fenhai Sect. There was an obvious scratch mark on his neck caused by five fingers, and his abdomen was burned through by flames.

Ning Daoran frowned and sighed in his heart.

The matter was very clear. The two had originally planned to seek opportunities together, but they did not expect that the opportunity was too great. The disciple of Fenhai Sect had evil intentions first and stabbed the other party from behind.

However, he did not expect that this outer disciple of the Chaos Sect was also a man of strong character. He endured the fatal injury, turned around, grabbed the opponent's neck, and then used the Flame Sun Sword to burn through his abdomen. In the end, both of them died.

It’s a bit of a pity.

Ning Daoran collected the storage bags of the two people, and then found a two-hundred-year-old Ningxin grass from the cliff in front.

The other main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill is the reason why the two became enemies.

After putting the Ningxin Grass into the storage bag, Ning Daoran hastily buried the two people and quickly left underground. There was a bloody smell here, so it was obviously not a place to stay for long.

…

Ning Daoran passed by the foot of the mountain and saw from afar a six-hundred-year-old Zhenyuan grass swaying in the wind.

Beside the spiritual herb, there was a trembling old turtle crawling on the ground. The old turtle was a first-order late-stage demon beast and was not very strong. However, this spiritual herb was surrounded by a group of people in three layers.

"My junior brother saw this Zhen Yuan grass first. It should belong to our Ziyun Sect."

A disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect who had reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage had a fierce look in his eyes: "Don't rely on your Fenhai Sect being a first-rate sect to bully others. This is the Cangnan Secret Realm, we won't fall for that!"

“That’s right!”

Several other Purple Cloud Sect disciples said in unison, "Brother, you are right. This is our Purple Cloud Sect's opportunity. How can we give it to others?"

“Tsk tsk!”

A disciple of the Fenhai Sect with a full heavenly palace and a strong aura sneered, "Who gave you the courage? What a joke, who are you, the Ziyun Sect, that you dare to compete with our Fenhai Sect for opportunities? Junior brothers, come together and destroy them!"

"kill!"

A group of Fenhai Sect disciples each took out their magic weapons, and the two sides engaged in a fight in the blink of an eye.

The scene of magical weapons flying and heads rolling was quite scary.

Ning Daoran shouted that he couldn't afford to offend him, and immediately went around the side underground. As for the True Essence Grass...

Never mind, it seems a little dangerous.

…

He passed by a woodland and found that a pair of fellow disciples had just teamed up to defeat a guardian beast in the late Qi Refining stage.

The senior brother confidently took the elixir into his pocket and said, "Junior brother, there is only one portion of this elixir and there is no way to share it. I have a Essence Pill that can improve your cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining. You can keep it."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Senior Brother..."

"That's right. Senior Brother will naturally fight for you for the next spiritual medicine."

Before he could finish his words, a sword blade protruded from his brother's heart.

The senior brother was shocked: "Junior brother, you..."

The junior brother's eyes were filled with anger: "Everything is yours. Do I deserve to be your lackey?"

Another Qi Refining Perfection cultivator fell into the magic of the monster. He held a dogtail grass in his hand, his eyes full of bloodshot: "Purple Blood Ginseng, a thousand-year-old Purple Blood Ginseng, I can finally build my foundation..."

Afterwards, he was slowly entangled by a giant python and then swallowed from the head. From beginning to end, this person did not get out of the illusion.

There was also a huge corpse of a monster lying on the ground. Before the materials could be decomposed, a group of monks started attacking each other.

Swords were flying everywhere, magical weapons were running rampant, and the ground was covered with blood.

And these situations are happening all the time throughout the Cangnan Secret Realm.

Ning Daoran felt a little emotional.

No wonder the survival rate in the Cangnan Secret Realm is extremely low. Half of the people died at the hands of monsters, and the other half probably died at the hands of human cultivators themselves.

In addition, he also vaguely sensed the mystery behind this.

Along the way, the Soul-Devouring Sect and other evil sects have been killing disciples of the righteous sects in an orderly manner. Once the evil disciples gather together, they will directly kill any righteous disciples who are weaker than themselves. Otherwise, they will pretend to be nice and use all kinds of politeness to deceive their opponents.

This is also easy to understand.

Qingzhou has always been dominated by the righteous path. Although the Soul-Devouring Sect is a first-rate sect, its overall strength is far from comparable to that of other righteous sects.

In fact, both sides sent many disciples...

Even the sect's strongest Qi Refining stage disciple was sent out, so this is not as simple as looking for an opportunity.

Ning Daoran felt a chill in his heart. It was clear that both parties wanted to take advantage of this opportunity in the Cangnan Secret Realm to eliminate each other's new generation of immortal seedlings, especially the Fenhai Sect and the Soul-Devouring Sect, where the intentions were most obvious.

As for second-rate sects like the Chaos Sect and the Star-Moon Pavilion, they may have to survive in the cracks of this secret realm trial. Being able to walk out of the secret realm alive is already a very good outcome.

…

evening.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The sun sets, and the second night in the secret realm is approaching.

On a narrow path on a fiery red mountain, Ning Daoran, dressed in the uniform of an outer disciple of the Chaos Sect, holding the Autumn Water Sword in his hand, walked slowly on the mountain path. There were rocks everywhere here, and he couldn't use earth escape techniques, and his wood escape techniques couldn't be connected either, so he simply showed his true form.

With the powerful divine sense scanning ahead, there were signs of spiritual energy rising. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be a spiritual medicine.

After climbing over the top of the mountain, on a relatively spacious flat ground on the hillside, a snow grass that is at least a thousand years old is quietly growing between the cracks of the cliff.

Xueji Grass is one of the main ingredients of Xueji Pill, a elixir that breaks through the middle stage of foundation building.

The thousand-year-old Snow Grass has a higher chance of being used to refine the finest Snow Pill.

However, not far from the Xueji Grass, there appeared an aura of a demon beast that was comparable to that of an early stage foundation building.

The Purple Flame Mantis is about half a person's height, with a large "sickle", blazing red eyes, and swift movements. It is an extremely tricky monster.

Ning Daoran had seen this kind of monster in the "Comprehensive Atlas of Monsters" in the library.

When facing a monster in the Foundation Establishment Stage, sneak attacks are still the main strategy!

Ning Daoran took a deep breath, chanted a spell and escaped directly using the wood escape technique. He used all his breath-concealing techniques to the utmost and suddenly became silent and motionless.

“Hiss~~~”

The pupils of the Purple Flame Mantis shrank slightly, as if it sensed something was wrong, but it clearly did not feel any fluctuation of magic power at all, there was just a slight sound just now.

Maybe it's a mountain rat.

It relaxed its vigilance and squatted beside the snow grass again, the pair of sickles on its chest swaying slightly in the mountain breeze.

“Swish!”

A two thousand jin giant green dragon suddenly dropped from the sky and headed straight for the Purple Flame Mantis's head!

"hiss--"

The Purple Flame Mantis screamed immediately, but the attack was too fast and it could not dodge at all. The next moment, the shell of its head had cracked!

However, the body of the early second-stage monster was too strong. The Purple Flame Mantis, whose head had been split open, was still as ferocious as ever. It shot forward, waving its sickle and heading straight for Ning Daoran's throat!

The wind suddenly blew, and Ning Daoran twisted his body in the air, dodging at a speed that the Purple Flame Mantis could not even imagine. Then the second secret gun appeared from behind the Purple Flame Mantis, still hitting the previous wound! The Riding the Wind Free and Easy Art of the Return to Nature level was too fast, and even the second-level early stage monster was completely unable to cope with it! "Bang!"

After two shots, the Purple Flame Mantis's head exploded and it died tragically on the spot.

Ning Daoran was overjoyed and was about to put all the spoils into his storage bag.

At this moment, a figure staggered and fell from the flying magic weapon. It was a female cultivator from the Xingyue Pavilion.

"Brother from the Chaos Sect, save me!"

Her clothes were disheveled, and her shoulder was red, obviously injured. Her pair of slender, snow-white legs were particularly eye-catching.

She looked familiar. Wasn't this the long-legged sister from Xingyue Pavilion that both Big Dumb Deer and I had a crush on before entering the secret realm? At this moment, this sister was in such a mess that there must be pursuers behind her.

As soon as he spread his spiritual sense a little, he discovered the pursuer, who was a cultivator who had reached the perfection of Qi training and had a very strong aura.

The man was wearing a blood-red robe and was full of arrogance and murderous aura. He was the true disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect - Lin Chi! "Fuck you!"

Ning Daoran's heart tightened. Why did he have to face this situation?

What does a hero saving a beautiful woman have to do with me, Ning Daoran? What's more, the one chasing her is the strongest disciple of the Soul Devouring Sect who entered the secret realm this time! Lin Chi is very powerful. Senior Brother Lin Sheng had already warned us before entering the secret realm that we would have no chance of winning if we met him, so we should avoid him as soon as possible!

But it is now unavoidable.

The tall and long-legged sister from Xingyue Pavilion looked weak. She stumbled and almost fell into Ning Daoran's arms. She said pitifully:

"This man is vicious and has killed many disciples of the righteous path. Junior brother, let's join forces and kill this beast together!"

…

“Tsk tsk!”

Lin Chi landed gracefully with a sneer on his face.

His eyes moved between the Purple Flame Mantis and the Snow Clear Grass. When he sensed that the Purple Flame Mantis was a second-stage early stage demon beast, his expression suddenly changed: "Who are you? How can you actually have the ability to kill a foundation-building demon beast?"

He clenched his fist lightly, and without waiting for Ning Daoran to speak, he smiled and said, "But this is also good, killing several birds with one stone. I'll give you a choice. Hand over the monster and the precious medicine, and I can save your life."

"Who are you? Do you want to save me from death?"

Ning Daoran frowned and took out the big blue dragon from his storage bag: "No, it can't be avoided. No one can avoid it today!"
