Chapter 243: No Match for This Person
A certain elder looked at the elders from the other two sects who walked out of the tent as anxiously as he did.
"Did Elder Bai and Elder Cheng also receive the communication talisman?"
"Yeah, I don't know how high the cultivation level of the evil demons that appeared in the secret realm is."
"My unworthy disciple said he saw the evil demon chasing several cultivators in the air. A thick black aura emanated from his body. It seems his cultivation level is quite high! I have already reported the news back to the sect. I ask the sect master to arrange for my uncle to come and help."
"Elder Gan, you're being too cautious! The situation is unclear. If it's just a small fry, wouldn't that be making a fuss out of nothing?"
Elder Gan had always disliked Elder Bai, and this time he was cautious when coming to the secret realm on his sect's territory for training. He sneered.
"Those who come to the secret realm to train this time are all the new generation of geniuses in the sect. I am worried that something unexpected might happen. If something unexpected happens, it will be a serious loss to our sect."
Elder Cheng tried to smooth things over, saying, "Although the situation is unclear, we should still be cautious. Elder Bai is calling for support on his own territory, which is much easier than it is for us, so he doesn't care."
Elder Gan and Elder Bai both accepted Elder Cheng's kindness and did not confront him again. Besides, they were indeed worried about the situation in the secret realm. The three elders stood at the entrance of the secret realm and looked around anxiously.
Gu Liyue and the others were still running for their lives. Gu Liyue used the connection in the contract to send a message to Xuanhuo for help: "Xiao Xuan, there are evil demons chasing us. We are almost at the exit of the secret realm. It looks like it should be the one with the black cloak. You and Qingxiao, come and save us!"
Xuanhuo and Qingxiao had been relaxing recently, strolling around Baiguang City. As soon as he received Gu Liyue's message, he immediately said to Qingxiao, "Gu Liyue and the others are in danger. We must rush to the exit of the secret realm to pick them up.
Qingxiao nodded, and the two of them used their Jindan stage cultivation to hurry on their way. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and the secret realm was just outside the city.
At the exit of the secret realm, the three elders have received more detailed information.
The cultivators the demon was chasing had no sect or affiliation, and were undoubtedly independent cultivators. Furthermore, the demon's cultivation was terrifyingly high. So Elder Bai backed off.
"Since the evil demon isn't chasing after our sect disciples, there's no need for us to confront the powerful demon head-on."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two elders expressed different opinions.
Elder Cheng disagreed, saying, "Since it's an evil demon, we should unite to kill it."
Elder Gan said, "I think your Bai family in Baiguang City are just cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. Don't you think about it? The other party is an evil demon. Since ancient times, evil demons and righteous cultivators have been incompatible. Don't you have any sense of justice?"
Elder Bai was so angry at being scolded that his beard stood on end. "I see that even if the three of us work together, we can't defeat the evil demon. We have to save some strength and have a way out!"
Elder Cheng looked at Elder Bai and kept shaking his head.
Elder Gan said, "Just go back into your tortoise shell and hide."
Gu Liyue and the others rushed left and right in the air, and Li Xiuyuan occasionally threw out some talismans to interfere with the black cloak.
Seeing that the exit of the secret realm was approaching, with Gu Liyue's usual sword-riding speed, it would take half a minute to arrive, but the black cloak blocked their way in space from time to time.
The exit seemed to be just around the corner, but it felt so far away. If they could get out of the secret realm, they still had a chance of survival. If they were caught in the secret realm, they would be crushed to death like an ant.
The Black Cloak liked to give people a glimmer of hope and then take it back. Looking at the monk's desperate expression made him feel happy, and he liked this feeling.
So in the air, although he seemed to be chasing closely, he actually only used one or two percent of his strength.
Seeing the exit of the secret realm right in front of him, he knew the time had come and it was time to kill them and see the despair in their eyes.
At this time, Xuanhuo and Qingxiao had already arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. He looked into the secret realm and felt Gu Liyue's nervousness in his heart.
The man in black cloak slammed his palm towards them. The monks on the ground could smell the horror of this palm, as if a mountain was pressing down on them from the sky.
Gu Liyue looked at the palm print as if it was real and kept approaching her in despair, but she was unable to move at all, as if her body was fixed by the opponent's pressure.
The black cloak looked at the fear and despair on the faces of the nine people with pleasure, and he couldn't help laughing.
Just when the palm print was about to touch Gu Liyue and the others, the nine people's faces were almost deformed by the palm wind.
At this moment, a figure flashed in front of Gu Liyue and stopped. She felt the pull in her sea of consciousness. It was Xuanhuo.
Xuanhuo felt that Gu Liyue was in a very bad situation at the exit of the secret realm. Despair surged like a tide, and his fear of death instantly soared to the peak, but he was suppressed and couldn't move.
Xuanhuo instantly suppressed his cultivation and used the contract with Gu Liyue to enter the secret realm.
He lightly pressed his palm print, and then the suppressed power was instantly released.
Gu Liyue felt the pressure subside, her body relaxed, and she could move. However, she didn't want to escape anymore, because she saw Xuanhuo blocking her way, maintaining the posture of striking out.
When the two forces collided, the space seemed to be twisted and torn apart.
A powerful wave of spiritual energy spread out in all directions, knocking over countless cultivators.
Gu Liyue and the others immediately gathered a spiritual power shield to protect themselves, but were also pushed back a lot.
The three elders outside the secret realm felt this wave of spiritual power and had shocked expressions on their faces.
Elder Gan asked, "This...this...this...is this the spiritual power that can be emitted by a Jindan stage cultivator?"
Elder Bai said: "Maybe the ancestor of my Bai family also..."
Halfway through his speech, he remembered something and shut up.
Elder Cheng said something pertinent: "This is indeed not something we can contend with."
As he spoke, he looked at the disciple beside him, who said, "I've already notified the clan leader to send someone to support us."
These three elders are all in the Nascent Soul stage, and this level of power is beyond their ability to handle.
Inside the secret realm, Gu Liyue said to Xuanhuo, "Xuanhuo, there is no Heavenly Law in the secret realm. Since you can get in, can you beat this guy to death?"
Xuanhuo murmured, "Is there no Heavenly Way?" He smiled bitterly in his heart. He had only recovered 30% of his cultivation and was still no match for this person.
The Black Cloak originally thought that he could take the lives of these monks immediately, but he did not expect such a change to happen.
He looked at Xuanhuo, who had instantly blocked Gu Liyue and the others' path, and after hearing Gu Liyue's words, he felt a little panicked. But he quickly regained his composure. Zhuque probably hadn't recovered much of his cultivation yet!
"Suzaku, are you alright?"
Xuanhuo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the man in the black cloak. He found that he didn't seem to know this person.
"I don't know such a coward. No, you are insulting me by saying this!"
