"This time when we entered the Great Dao Secret Realm, our Qinglian Sect lost a total of 1,370 disciples, including 160 inner disciples, three direct disciples, and the rest were outer disciples!" sighed an elder.

"Three direct disciples have died? What a pity!" Deputy Sect Leader Qiu Zonghai couldn't help but sigh.

For any sect, the elders' direct disciples are the direct descendants that are vigorously cultivated. The future elders and even the sect master and hall master will be selected from the direct disciples. It can be said that even if the Qinglian Sect loses 10,000 outer disciples, it will not make Qiu Zonghai feel as heartbroken as losing one direct disciple.

At this moment, an elder in the hall had an unhappy look on his face. Among the three disciples who died, two of them were his disciples. He had trained them carefully for decades, but they died in one day. How could Elder Sun not feel sad!

"Elder Sun, please accept my condolences!" An elder who had a good relationship with Elder Sun whispered to comfort him.

Sun Sidong forced a smile and shook his head, saying, "Everyone has their own destiny. Their fall is just bad luck... It's a pity for Qiao Hai, who had already cultivated the Green Lotus Heart Sutra to the peak of the fifth level and was only half a step away from the sixth level. He was also a seed player in the Hundred Meridians Contest in the future, but he fell in the secret realm!"

If one cultivates the Green Lotus Heart Sutra to the sixth level, there is a high chance of breaking through to the king level. Even if one fails to break through to the sixth level, then when one reaches the seventh or eighth level, the chance of breaking through will greatly increase. However, if one fails to break through to the king level from the sixth level, then it will probably be difficult to break through to the emperor level with the Green Lotus Heart Sutra in this lifetime.

"After all, it is a secret realm of the Great Dao. There are great opportunities, but also great dangers!" An elder stroked his beard and shook his head and sighed.

Sun Sidong shook his head and said nothing, his face as gloomy as water. In addition to being Elder Sun Sidong's direct disciple, Qiao Hai was also his nephew, and he had always raised him as a son. Unexpectedly, he would die in the secret realm of the Great Dao this time, which made Sun Sidong very sad.

"How many of your disciples returned safely?" Qiu Zonghai asked.

"There are nineteen people in total!" Elder Liu, who was in charge of the statistics, replied, "After the nineteen returned to the sect, they all began to retreat, and no direct disciple has come out yet."

Qiu Zonghai smiled and nodded, "Okay, it looks like we've gained a lot!"

Most of the disciples who were able to come back alive from the Secret Realm of the Great Dao had gained something, it was just a matter of how much benefit they gained. I believe that after this trip to the Secret Realm of the Great Dao, the strength of these 19 direct disciples would be greatly enhanced.

"Elder Long, I haven't congratulated you yet!" Elder Liu glanced at Sun Sidong, then suddenly turned around, smiled and bowed to Elder Long, saying, "The disciple you just accepted in the Black Domain seems to have made great progress. I see that he has already broken through to the third level of the Green Lotus Heart Sutra. Congratulations!"

"What, the Green Lotus Heart Sutra has reached the third level? It hasn't even been a month since he joined the sect?" someone asked in surprise.

The flow of time in the Great Dao Secret Realm is different from that in the outside world. Everyone in the secret realm has almost spent more than a month, but in the outside world, only three or two days have passed. Counting it all, it has only been more than twenty days since Xu Feng entered the Qinglian Sect.

Hearing what Elder Liu said, Elder Sun Sidong's expression became even uglier.

"Haha, it was just luck, just luck!" Elder Long smiled slightly and said modestly.

“Pay special attention to these 19 disciples. After they come out of retreat, we will hold a big competition in the sect, and the top ten will be sent out to challenge other sects!” Qiu Zonghai snorted coldly, “Humph, the younger disciples are incompetent, causing the Qinglian Sect’s ranking among the Hundred Veins to fall again and again. But no matter how poorly it has declined, it is not something that those cats and dogs can mess with. This time when we go out to challenge, we must make the Qinglian Sect famous!”

Obviously, Qiu Zonghai was angry about the recent challenges from many sects. He had to show his strength to the surrounding sects and tell them who was the boss and the sect master in this area!

…

Sun Sidong returned to the cave, and he could no longer suppress his anger. He smashed a spiritual teacup to the ground.

"Why did two of my disciples die, why did all of you come back alive, why, damn it!" Sun Sidong gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

"What? They know how Hai'er died?" Sun Sidong's eyes flashed with a fierce look. After a moment's silence, he nodded and said, "Let them in."

Soon, two inner disciples came in timidly.

"Disciple Hu Tong (Zhou Ji) pays homage to Elder Sun!" Hu Tong, Zhou Ji saluted towards Sun Sidong.

"You two..." Sun Sidong stared at the two people and felt that they looked familiar. After a moment, a stern look appeared on Sun Sidong's face, and he snorted coldly: "I remember, you two are Hai'er's followers!"

Thinking of this, Sun Sidong's face showed a murderous intent. He stared at the two of them and said sternly, "Why, why is Hai'er dead, but you two are still alive!"

The aura of a king-level warrior instantly filled the entire cave. Hu Tong and Zhou Ji were immediately oppressed by this aura and knelt down on all fours, begging for mercy desperately.

"Elder, please spare me, Elder, please spare me, we know who killed Sun Sidong!"

After a moment, Sun Sidong restrained his breath, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see the two of them;

"Speak!" Sun Sidong said coldly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Senior Brother Qiao's death may, may be related to Xu Feng!" Hu Tong and Zhou Ji looked at each other and said in a low voice.

"Possibly?" Sun Sidong suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes; "Elder, please listen to our description of the situation at that time first. Elder Sun, please make your own judgment!" Zhou Ji said.

"Okay!" Sun Sidong nodded and said, "Don't miss any details, and don't make your own subjective judgments. Just describe the situation at that time."

"Elder Sun, it's like this. At that time, we followed Senior Brother Qiao to Black Wind Mountain and encountered a regional mission..." Zhou Ji began to speak slowly.

…

Half an hour later, Zhou Ji and Hu Tong stopped talking, one talking, the other supplementing, the two talking until their mouths were dry, and finally finished describing the scene at that time! "You mean, you found that Xu Feng was actually in the cave of the demon clan, surrounded by big demons, but he didn't hurt them..." Sun Sidong narrowed his eyes, replayed the scene described by the two in his mind, and asked in a low voice: "So you judged that Xu Feng had chosen the demon clan camp at that time, and Hai'er was killed by the demon king black bear spirit at that time, so you suspect that Hai'er's death is related to Xu Feng?"

"Elder Sun, the competition for the regional mission scoreboard was very fierce at that time!" Zhou Ji explained, "At that time, Senior Brother Qiao's ranking was very close to Xu Feng's. Moreover, after Senior Brother Qiao was killed by the demon king Black Bear, the Black Bear and many other big demons all died inexplicably. Xu Feng's ranking was directly promoted to the first place in the list!"

"Yes, Elder Sun, that demon king and other big demons must have been killed by Xu Feng. I don't know what method he used to join the demon clan, but he was still able to kill those monsters to increase his points. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?" Hu Tong on the side also said hurriedly.

"At the very least, Xu Feng has the ability to kill the demon king Black Bear, but he waited until the Black Bear killed Senior Brother Qiao before he killed him. Isn't this killing someone with a borrowed knife?" Zhou Ji suddenly said.

When Sun Sidong heard the words "killing with a borrowed knife", his face suddenly became ferocious.
