Chapter 34

==================

After entering from the entrance and passing through the sea of ​​ghostly man-eating flowers, you will officially reach the first level of the secret realm.

Countless dark tentacles grew wildly from the ground, and the road was overgrown with thorns, making it almost impossible to walk.

Ning Chen casually threw a strand of demonic energy in, and the tentacle as thick as a bowl suddenly smashed down, scattering the strand of demonic energy. The other tentacles around sensed the vitality of a living person, and they began to squirm and rush over, tightly entangling the scattered demonic energy.

As soon as they entered the first level, the righteous disciples clearly felt a heavy pressure pressing down from the air. Under such pressure, even lifting their feet to walk was as difficult as if their legs were filled with lead, not to mention flying the sword through the thorns and tentacles.

The Liuyun Sect disciples stood behind their eldest senior brother, looking at the endless dark tentacles and wanting to cry: "Oh my god, is this a heavenly secret realm?"

Compared to this one, the Xuan-level and Huang-level secret realms they had visited before were just like a joke.

Someone tried to step on his sword, but after holding it in the air for only a few moments, he lost his balance and fell down.

Fortunately, they did not enter the tentacle area, otherwise, if they fell, even if Xie Tingyun could pull them out, they would still be half skinned.

The middle-aged cultivator in the Kongming period, as the leader with the highest cultivation level here besides Xie Tingyun and Ning Chen, stepped out at this time, trying to clear out these tentacles and thorn bushes like he had just cleared out the Ghostly Man-eating Plant.

However, the first level of the secret realm is obviously not that simple.

Before the cultivator in the Kongming stage could even get close, the tentacles on the outermost side had already sensed the breath of a living person and rushed towards the cultivator with bared fangs and claws.

Those dark tentacles can stretch and transform. When they see someone approaching, they begin to grow upwards, almost covering half of the sky, and sticky liquid drips down along with the tentacles.

Many people behind him had already backed out. One of them said with tears in his eyes: "We...we really can't go back and stay here? The first level has stopped us. With our current level of cultivation, we can't get through it at all."

Just because this group of righteous monks can't get through doesn't mean that the two great men Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun can't get through.

Xie Tingyun looked around and said, "Tianxiao, don't just eat, come and work."

Ning Chen ate the last ball of Netherworld Fire, clapped his hands in fear, stretched lazily and contentedly, and said lazily, "Here it comes."

Ning Chen turned his head to look at the righteous disciples who were staring at him vigilantly, raised his hand and released the demonic energy, which swept them into the air amid the disciples' screams.

Everyone was frightened half to death by the sudden evil energy. Their first reaction was to think that Tian Xiao had eaten and drunk enough and was going to attack them.

As a result, they were swept up into the sky by the evil spirit after feeling a strong sense of dizziness. They staggered and watched Xie Tingyun rush into the group of tentacles in the space of a few rises and falls!

Countless tentacles surged towards Xie Tingyun. His brows furrowed and the spiritual barrier around him opened closely. Bright sword lights flashed several times, and those squirming tentacles surged towards him were cut off at the root. The wounds as big as bowls spurted out dark purple sticky blood.

It seemed that Ning Chen and Xie Tingyun did not need to communicate in advance. Ning Chen followed behind Xie Tingyun, and behind him were a bunch of disciples who were staggering and screaming due to the evil spirit.

The surging demonic energy was like a giant hand, holding all the righteous disciples inside. Later, with Xie Tingyun leading the way, Ning Chen forcibly "captured" nearly a hundred people with his family.

During the whole process, all the monks watched helplessly as the thorn bushes on the surface of the ground suddenly grew a long way upwards, almost sweeping them up, and then were silently eroded and swallowed up by the surging demonic energy.

The broken tentacles that fell angrily from overhead passed by them, bringing with them dark purple blood that almost filled the sky. Some people were drenched in it, and the blood even seemed to still have life in it, with tiny insects wriggling in it. Those with poor mental qualities almost screamed in agony on the spot. If they hadn't been fixed in the sky by the demonic energy, they would probably have cut off these evil things that were clinging to their bodies and wriggling on the spot.

Xie Tingyun, who was using the wind to clear the way ahead, said helplessly, "Tianxiao, please help take care of it."

Ning Chen originally didn't like these evil things, but when he heard Xie Tingyun say this before making his move, how could he miss the opportunity to take advantage? He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Reward?"

Xie Tingyun: "...You help first."

Fortunately, the next moment the evil spirit impatiently swept away the blood squirming in their bodies, which prevented some people from having their skin peeled off on the spot.

The monks who were more experienced had already put on spiritual barriers on themselves, and now they had enough energy to imitate Ning Chen and use their spiritual power to help the disciples behind them to peel off the blood on their tentacles. Although they were in a mess for a while, they managed to control the situation.

Xie Tingyun led the way, cutting a gap for everyone to pass through. Ning Chen followed closely behind him, followed by a large group of burdens. The clasped tentacles and growing thorn bushes were all destroyed by the demonic energy with overwhelming force. Sticky blood splattered everywhere, and the dry spikes from the thorn bushes scratched every exposed part of the body, leaving countless red marks.

After getting over the dizziness from flying high, everyone slowly realized the current situation.

The middle-aged cultivator in the Kongming stage still had some energy left after helping his fellow disciple. He caught a glimpse of Ning Chen getting close to Xie Tingyun, clinging to his shoulders and lowering his head to say something. He seemed not to notice the tentacles above his head that were aiming at Ning Chen.

Most of the dark tentacles in front of him were cut into large sections by Xie Tingyun. If not, these endless tentacles would almost block the entire passage, making it impossible for people to pass through.

However, during the high-speed driving, danger was lurking. The Demon Lord who was targeted seemed to only care about whispering to Fellow Daoist Xie, which made Li Min, an old man who was nearly a hundred years old, almost feel a sense of regret.

He cultivated to the state of emptiness and was considered an authoritative elder in the sect. He devoted his life to cultivation and never indulged in love. He was also strict when disciplining his disciples, and no disciple dared to talk about love in front of him.

Demon Lord and Fellow Daoist Xie... Li Min had no control over this couple, nor did he dare to control them. But let's put it this way, these young people, why can't they flirt at any time, why must they do it in such a dangerous situation?

The severed tentacles can regenerate, but the growth rate is hindered by Xie Tingyun's spiritual power and is extremely slow.

They smashed down at Ning Chen angrily, almost hitting his back, but Ning Chen still had no reaction, and even smiled at Xie Tingyun with his eyes tilted.

Li Min closed his eyes as if his eyes were contaminated by something, and the next moment he threw a round magic weapon towards Ning Chen.

The spherical magic weapon caught up with the tentacles before they hit Ning Chen's back, but before the magic weapon exploded and bounced the tentacles away, a clear sword light flashed by. Xie Tingyun raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw the spherical magic weapon, he was slightly surprised.

But in the end, neither the magic weapon nor the Chengfeng Sword could touch the tentacles that were falling towards Ning Chen.

The moment those tentacles were cut by Chengfeng, they were instantly turned into powder and scattered. Ink-like demonic energy came from nowhere and lazily sucked the life out of all the tentacles that wanted to get close to Ningchen.

Ning Chen first turned around, glanced at Li Min with his dark red eyes, and then directly threw the lost spherical magic weapon back with magic energy.

The movement was crisp, neat and nonchalant. After throwing it, he unceremoniously picked up Chengfeng in his hand, then moved close to Xie Tingyun's ear and said something with a smile.

He doesn't take any other existence in the outside world seriously at all.

Li Min: "..."

It's really unnecessary to worry so much!

Little did they know that Ning Chen raised his hand to take the Chengfeng Sword and said to Xie Tingyun: "Son Xie, I can take this reward, okay?"

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Xie Tingyun stretched out his hand to grab the sword, but Ning Chen dodged it easily. Ning Chen snorted, "Xie Tingyun, you don't want to help me block an attack to offset the reward?"

Fortunately, he was quick-witted and killed the tentacle in advance, preventing Xie Tingyun from succeeding!

"...What's your train of thought?" Xie Tingyun looked at Ning Chen with a bit of a loss for words, and said, "Since you don't react, I'll just stop here."

As expected of Tian Xiao, at what level was he that he could immediately interpret Xie Tingyun's behavior as a way to offset the so-called reward.

However, now seeing Ning Chen snatching the sword and wanting to show off to the world, Xie Tingyun felt a little regretful.

This guy should be spanked a few times by the tentacles.

Xie Tingyun glanced at the tentacles that were almost blocking the road ahead and said, "How can I clear the way if you take Chengfeng away?"

Ning Chen hummed a song and slashed with his sword like Xie Tingyun. The tentacles that once again filled the road in front of him screamed silently and spurted blood.

Ning Chen said: "Simple. I will do it."

Xie Tingyun: "..."

Others: “…”

Xie Tingyun was really afraid of this ancestor who valued his own happiness above all else. He turned around to block the disciples behind him who were screaming in fear from the tentacles. When they saw his life sword being snatched away, they couldn't wait to stick their heads out and watch the show like giraffes. He used up his last bit of patience and said, "Tianxiao, last time you said you didn't want to play with the wind and that we were done with each other. Does that mean it doesn't count now?"

Ning Chen gestured and said, "I am not playing. I am just borrowing your natal sword to clear a path."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Chen seemed to have just remembered something and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Saint, there are so many people watching us, you won't be so stingy, right?"

"..." Xie Tingyun said: "You also know that so many people are watching! Return the sword to me quickly."

Ning Chen was a man who always took advantage of others. The more anxious others were, the calmer he was. After all, he was not the one whose natal sword was stolen.

How could Ning Chen possibly agree? He said, "You borrowed it last time in Pingjing Village, why don't you lend it this time?"

...Can these be compared?

There are no righteous people or demons in Pingjing Village, but there are a bunch of fellow disciples of Xie Tingyun here!

Sure enough, this guy's nature is still evil. Xie Tingyun refused to let Ning Chen play with the Chengfeng Sword, so he found an opportunity to snatch it away.

A tremendous amount of demonic energy suddenly gushed out from the sword body of Chengfeng, rushing forward at an incredibly fast speed. The powerful attack from the Great Demon of the Silent Realm was able to clear out a large area.

The passage on the first level was forcibly opened by the two of them using such an unreasonable fighting method. Ning Chen was almost like a cheat here, and the tentacles and thorn bushes on the first level were easy for him.

They walked through an unknown length of tentacle corridors until the tentacles and thorn bushes gradually decreased and disappeared, and then they landed on the ground.

The righteous monks who were being unreasonably swept by the evil spirit behind them were also thrown over unexpectedly. One by one, they flew crookedly in the air and began to vomit as soon as they landed on the ground.

Ning Chen openly showed off the Chengfeng Sword he had just snatched, hoping to provoke Xie Tingyun to grab it, but Xie Tingyun was not fooled at all.

He held his forehead and said, "You don't have your own life-defining weapon, right? Why do you have to steal others'?!"

"I'm not familiar with you, thank you, Saint." Ning Chen was happy. "Based on our relationship, there's no need to distinguish between yours and mine. Isn't yours mine?"

Xie Tingyun: "..."
