Chapter 127 The Cat Enters the Secret Realm
The fluctuations of space transmission subsided, and Bai Qingchen's feet were on solid ground, surrounded by other disciples of Lingxiao Sect.
The disciples of the six major sects were not teleported to one place, but were randomly dispersed to different areas of the secret realm.
Before my eyes was a dense primeval forest, with layers of towering ancient trees blocking out most of the sunlight.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the secret realm is richer than outside, and there is a hint of danger in the humid air.
Sporadic spots of light fell into the forest, and the surroundings were obviously not safe. From time to time, the low roars of unknown wild beasts came from not far away, reminding everyone of the danger of this place.
The twenty people from Lingxiao Sect naturally split into two vague camps the moment they landed.
There were about a dozen people on Zhao Gan's side, most of whom had high cultivation levels. Their expressions were filled with excitement and desire for opportunities in the secret realm.
There were fewer people on Chen Yi's side, and what surprised Bai Qingchen was that Xiao Jin was also on their side.
Facing Bai Qingchen's gaze, Xiao Jin raised his head and said, "What are you looking at? It's because my cultivation is too low. If no one protects me, I probably won't last more than a month."
Bai Qingchen didn't mind Xiao Jin's unpleasant words, that was just his personality.
This was the first time for everyone to come to the secret realm of Beiming Youxu. It was said that this secret realm had existed for thousands of years, but the world of immortal cultivation had explored less than one-tenth of it.
Before leaving, all the major sects told their disciples the relevant information about the secret realm. If they followed the path of their predecessors, they would not encounter too much danger for the time being, but they would not be able to obtain opportunities either.
Although the disciples of Lingxiao Sect were divided into two factions, they were temporarily maintaining superficial peace. They did not go their separate ways immediately, but kept a subtle distance between them and explored forward together.
As soon as Bai Qingchen stepped into this secret realm, the incomplete martial arts in his body began to operate slowly and spontaneously, producing a faint sense of pulling. Bai Qingchen looked in a certain direction and followed the large group forward without making a sound.
About an hour later, a fork in the road appeared ahead. On one side was a safe road, and on the other was an unrecorded road.
Zhao Gan stood at the fork in the road, discussing something with his group. A disciple in the team who specialized in exploration techniques pointed to the road on the right and said, "Brother Zhao, we sensed a treasure over there!"
Zhao Gan's eyes flashed with eagerness, and he immediately said, "Since we've come here, we're all here to gain opportunities. Simply following the path of our predecessors will only lead to leftovers. The opportunity is right in front of us, how can we miss it? Let's go this way."
Several people behind him responded immediately.
Chen Yi frowned slightly. He glanced at the dense forest on his right and said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhao, the secret realm is vast and contains many unknown dangers. We have just arrived here, so we should not easily disperse and lose our guidance."
Zhao Gan sneered and said sarcastically, "Senior Brother Chen, you've been a coward on Hanyuan Peak for so long that you've probably lost even a bit of your courage."
"If you're afraid of this and that, why not just crush the jade talisman and leave now? If you don't dare to go, then do as you please. Let's go!"
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Chen Yi and the others, and took the seven or eight disciples on his side and rushed towards the hillside on the left impatiently.
"you!"
Chen Yi has been cautious in his actions since he was framed. It is not wise to act on his own without knowing the situation right after entering the secret realm. Since Zhao Gan is so courageous, let them go on their own.
Lin Feng looked at their receding backs and said, "This person is too reckless." He felt a bad aura from that side.
Bai Qingchen looked at Chen Yi apologetically: "Brother Chen, if it weren't for me, the brothers wouldn't have dispersed so early."
Zhao Gan and the others probably thought that his cultivation was low and would slow down the team, so they took this opportunity to separate.
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Bai, even without you, we and Zhao Gan and the others would have been separated sooner or later."
"People with different ideals cannot work together. If twenty people act together, the target will be too big and it will easily attract powerful beasts. The exploration efficiency will also be low. Separating up may not be a bad thing." He glanced at the few people who stayed behind.
"Let's follow the instructions and head to Qingyang Valley first. Everyone, stay alert and be vigilant."
Everyone nodded and headed towards the dense forest on the left.
After walking for another half an hour, a faint smell of blood gradually filled the air.
"Something's happening!"
Xiao Jin, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly stopped and spoke in a low voice.
Everyone immediately stepped forward on guard, only to see a mess ahead. Several old trees were broken by the huge force, and the ground was covered with traces of fighting. It was obvious that there had been a fierce battle here.
Four corpses were lying on the ground in a disorderly manner. They were all wearing the Taoist robes of Taixu Temple. Their deaths were extremely miserable. It seemed that all the blood and essence in their bodies had been drained away, leaving only skin and bones. Their faces were horrified.
Their storage bags were still hanging around their waists intact, indicating they were not trying to steal or kill. The jade talismans were also hanging around their waists, with no signs of use.
"It's a fellow Taoist from Taixu Temple!" a disciple exclaimed in shock. "It's only been a short time since we entered the secret realm, and yet..."
Bai Qingchen's face was solemn. He squatted down and carefully examined the corpse closest to him.
I feel like I've seen this kind of corpse somewhere before.
Chen Xing also leaned over to check the wound on the abdomen of the other corpse. He stretched out two fingers and pressed them on the wound, with spiritual power flowing through his fingertips.
After a moment, he raised his head and said in his usual calm voice, "There is residual demonic energy in the wound."
"What!" A disciple screamed in surprise and clenched his magic weapon tightly.
Xiao Jin said, "Didn't Immortal Wuwang just clean up the traitors? How come there are still demonic cultivators sneaking into the secret realm? Could it be..."
Chen Yi's face was solemn. He squatted down and sensed carefully. Sure enough, he noticed the remnants of demonic energy in the wounds of other corpses.
He stood up and scanned the surroundings for signs of fighting with sharp eyes.
"Judging from the traces and the degree of drying of the blood, the battle should have ended in no more than an incense stick of time. Those demonic cultivators are likely not far away."
He made a quick decision: "Follow the trail they left, and be careful!"
Everyone suppressed their shock and followed the faintly discernible footprints and remnants of demonic energy on the ground to chase after him.
I don't know how long it took, but the demonic energy ahead became thicker, and faint sounds of fighting and shouting came from the depths of the dense forest, becoming clearer and clearer. The sound was quite familiar.
Bai Qingchen pushed aside the last patch of dense bushes, and the scene before him made everyone's pupils shrink.
I saw Zhao Gan and his group, who had separated from them before, fighting fiercely with a group of monks in a miserable state. And those monks were wearing the uniforms of Guixu Sect disciples.
They attacked ruthlessly, with obvious evil spirits mixed in with their spiritual power, and their eyes were crazy and bloodthirsty, completely different from what they had seen in the square before.
Zhao Gan was obviously at a disadvantage. Two of his disciples had been sucked dry like the Taoist friend from Taixu Temple whom he had met before.
The rest of the people were also seriously injured and were forced to retreat step by step by the group of demon cultivators. Someone wanted to crush the jade talisman and leave the secret realm, but after he crushed the jade talisman, nothing happened. While he was stunned, the demon cultivators had already attacked him.
Chen Yi immediately appeared and blocked the attack for him. The man looked at Chen Yi in surprise and said, "Brother Chen!"
Bai Qingchen's eyes were cold: "It seems that Guixu Sect is too lazy to even act."
Lin Feng said angrily, "The Guixu Sect, one of the six major sects, is now actually associating with demonic cultivators. The elders outside are probably in trouble too!"
"Save people first!" Xiao Jin said, and without hesitation, he used his magic weapon and joined the melee.
