Upon entering this secret realm, Ye Feng immediately discovered that there were only the three of them there.
Nan Lingrong, Wang Tianyi, Liu Shanrui, and Wu Xueyu, who entered the secret realm before them, as well as the five guardians, were not here.
The people who came in after them did not appear in front of them either.
It was obvious that those who entered earlier were teleported to other places, and the same was true for those who entered later.
If Ye Feng hadn't had the foresight to grab Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan's wrists first, the three of them would probably have been separated.
Where is this?
Li Qingyan looked around, her face showing a deep sense of bewilderment.
“Of course it’s inside the secret realm. We’ve entered the secret realm,” Qiu Miaozhen said.
“Of course I know this is a secret realm. What I mean is, what kind of secret realm is this?” Li Qingyan said.
"Then I don't know."
Qiu Miaozhen shook her head vigorously.
The night breeze also looked around.
All I could see was a desolate wasteland, overgrown with weeds.
Strangely, the soil in the wilderness was all reddish-brown, and the weeds growing from the soil were also reddish-brown.
At first glance, almost everything in sight is crimson, as if a raging fire is burning fiercely in this wilderness.
Moreover, the air was filled with a pungent odor, which seemed to have the smell of sulfur.
"Contact your master first," Ye Feng said.
Without hesitation, Qiu Miaozhen immediately took out a communication talisman from her storage ring and sent it out.
However, after the message talisman was sent out, it turned into a golden light that kept swirling around Qiu Miaozhen, and she couldn't get away from it no matter what.
"We can't use communication talismans here," Qiu Miaozhen said in surprise.
"Then let's try the token again," Night Wind said.
Qiu Miaozhen took out the token and tried it for a while before showing a helpless expression: "The token is also ineffective."
"This is really a difficult situation," Ye Feng frowned.
Now, Ye Feng, Li Qingyan, and Qiu Miaozhen are separated from Nan Lingrong and the others. Although it's not the worst situation, it's still a tricky one for them.
If Nan Lingrong cannot be found, and if any danger arises, Li Qingyan and Qiu Miaozhen alone may not be able to resolve the situation.
Although Ye Feng is not afraid, revealing his strength might not be a good thing.
"What do we do now?" Qiu Miaozhen asked.
“Since the communication talisman and token are not working, we’ll have to find your master ourselves… Let’s try flying in a fixed direction first,” Ye Feng said.
"good!"
Qiu Miaozhen nodded and took the lead in flying away.
However, just as Qiu Miaozhen flew into the air, a ball of flame appeared out of nowhere and surged toward her!
Qiu Miaozhen screamed in fright and dodged away, looking extremely disheveled.
Fortunately, Qiu Miaozhen reacted quickly and was not burned by the sudden burst of flames, but she was forced back to the ground.
As soon as Qiu Miaozhen landed, the flames in the air immediately disappeared.
"Is flying prohibited here?" Li Qingyan asked.
"I don't know either."
Qiu Miaozhen shook her head.
Li Qingyan hesitated for a moment, then flew into the air as well.
Sure enough, another ball of fire appeared out of nowhere, and even formed a fire dragon, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked Li Qingyan.
Li Qingyan quickly landed back on the ground, and the fire dragon stopped chasing after her. After circling in the air a few times, it dissipated into the air.
“It seems that’s true. You can’t fly in this strange secret realm. If you do, it will immediately trigger strange phenomena in the realm,” Li Qingyan said.
“In that case, we’ll have to travel on foot,” Qiu Miaozhen said.
“Let’s hike then. It’s much better than staying here doing nothing,” Night Wind said.
Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, as if something had suddenly exploded.
Ye Feng, Qiu Miaozhen, and Li Qingyan immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came, but they were too far away to see what was happening in the distance.
Moreover, this secret realm also greatly suppresses divine senses, and Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan's divine senses were suppressed to a terrifying radius of ten zhang around them.
Night Wind itself was also greatly affected.
"This secret realm is strange in every way," Ye Feng remarked.
"Let's not talk about that now, let's go and see. Maybe it's my master or some elder or protector fighting with something!" Qiu Miaozhen said anxiously.
“Okay, let’s go there now,” Night Wind said.
So Ye Feng, Qiu Miaozhen, and Li Qingyan rushed towards the direction from which the explosion had come.
Although the three were running on the ground, they were not slow. If you looked down from the air, you would see three figures flashing across the ground.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Feng, Qiu Miaozhen, and Li Qingyan arrived at the location where the explosion had just occurred.
There was a large pit about three zhang in diameter. The soil and rocks inside the pit had been melted by the high temperature and solidified into black rocks.
Moreover, at the bottom of the pit, there was a woman—one of the thirty disciples!
This female disciple of the Lingshui Sect has now become a corpse, and the corpse is incomplete, with burn marks all over it.
It seems that the two who just fought here were this female disciple and another person.
Qiu Miaozhen's expression turned very unpleasant, because the female disciple's corpse revealed a lot of information.
This female disciple definitely didn't fight with a demon beast, because if she had died at the hands of a demon beast, her body would most likely have been devoured by it.
However, this is not the case now. Although the female disciple's body has become mutilated, her limbs and fragments are still there and not missing.
Since she wasn't fighting a demonic beast, she could only have been fighting a martial artist.
This, in turn, created new problems.
Everyone who enters here is from the Lingshui Sect, so who will this female disciple of the Lingshui Sect get into a fight with, or even a life-or-death struggle with?
"Could it be that people from other sects have entered this place?" Qiu Miaozhen frowned and muttered to herself.
Li Qingyan said incredulously, "No way? Changsheng Island is our Lingshui Sect's territory. Although there are some rogue cultivators on Changsheng Island, how could people from other sects enter here?"
“Junior sister, you’re oversimplifying the issue. How do you know that those rogue cultivators active on Changsheng Island and Shuiyun Island are definitely not rogue cultivators, and not people sent by other sects? In fact, over the years, we have already captured and executed quite a few spies sent by other sects,” Qiu Miaozhen said.
Li Qingyan was even more shocked.
It's actually quite normal that Li Qingyan doesn't know these things. Although she is a deacon of the Enforcement Hall, the Enforcement Hall is generally an internal entity that only deals with internal affairs.
