Shushu naturally noticed his master's actions. He silently withdrew his claws, which were originally about to throw out protective and isolation arrays, and instead focused on breaking through.
Having fought on the arena for some time, Shushu's temperament and cultivation had improved considerably. Breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage was as natural as water flowing into a channel, and it was done with ease.
Afterwards, Shushu, who had successfully broken through, looked at the increasing number of cultivators who had come from afar.
Some of the cultivators even harbored greed and malice in their eyes, giving Shushu a very uncomfortable feeling. He frowned and glanced at these people several times, then decided not to continue the competition.
When they mentioned it to Immortal Venerable Luofeng, he happened to have the same idea, and the master and disciple immediately hit it off and decided not to stay any longer.
Just as he was about to leave, Shushu caught a glimpse of Qiu Nuanshu outside, who was still anxiously jumping up and down, genuinely worried about him.
Recalling what she had told him about Huaiyu Continent during this period, and the large number of good opponents she had previously helped him to attract.
After thinking for a moment, Shushu asked her master for help and secretly slipped Qiu Nuanshu a Golden Cauldron Sprout and a sweet fruit as a thank-you gift.
After doing all this, the master and disciple left without leaving a trace under the control of Immortal Venerable Luofeng. The barrier and white mist here also vanished the moment they left.
Those with ill intentions, who had been keeping a close eye on this area, naturally noticed the disappearance of the barrier and white mist immediately and rushed up, hoping to take advantage of the chaos.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Nuanshu instinctively wanted to stop it, but unexpectedly, as soon as she took a step, she felt a weight in her pocket, as if there was something extra in it.
She didn't consider herself a strong person, but to have something stuffed into her pocket without her noticing was something that shouldn't happen under normal circumstances.
Unless the other party is extremely powerful, or uses some external aid to completely block out her senses, she wouldn't notice until the object was put down.
Does that also mean that if the other party had intended to kill her, she wouldn't even have had time to react before she was killed?
Thinking of this, Qiu Nuanshu felt a chill run down her spine, and goosebumps rose all over her body. Her forward momentum froze, and she dared not move, her alertness immediately reaching its maximum.
But after searching for a while, she couldn't find anything wrong and had to give up in frustration.
Taking a few deep breaths, she finally mustered her courage, suppressing her pounding heart, and carefully used her divine sense to examine the contents of her pocket.
Once she saw that it was Jin Dingya and Tianguo, her tense nerves relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that it must have been Shushu who sent it, and she quickly looked at the place where they had competed before.
The next moment, she was stunned again. The barrier and white mist had long since dissipated, and apart from the people who had rushed over anxiously, there was no arena or Flower Rain Sable.
Even the various grasses and shrubs that should have been flattened by the competition platform are growing well, as if the competition platform had never existed.
The scene before her made Qiu Nuanshu question her life for a moment. She looked around at her fellow disciples, and they all looked at each other, still somewhat bewildered.
Finally, she scanned the pocket with her divine sense again, saw the real Golden Sprout and Sweet Fruit inside, and quietly reached in to check. After confirming that everything was correct, Qiu Nuanshu finally stopped thinking about it.
No matter what, as long as the product is genuine, that's all that matters.
Then, she thought of the adorable ferret. Although she hadn't heard it speak in over a month, Qiu Nuanshu always felt that the ferret could understand her.
So lively and agile, she must be the spirit beast of the master of the secret realm. I just hope she will be well in the future, Qiu Nuanshu thought to herself.
Then, Qiu Nuanshu received a telepathic message from her senior brothers and sisters in the sect, and following their instructions, she quietly moved to the middle of them.
Accompanying her were other Nascent Soul stage disciples from the sect, while several Out-of-Body stage senior brothers and sisters guarded the outer circle, responsible for vigilance and protection.
As it turned out, their foresight was indeed correct.
Those with ulterior motives, after discovering that the millet and the arena had disappeared, roared in a fit of impotent rage and then turned their attention to those who had fought on the arena and won.
Immediately afterwards, it was unclear whether these people had discussed it in secret, but as soon as the leader moved his hand, everyone suddenly attacked the people around them.
Their moves were ruthless, aimed straight at the face; it was clear these people intended to kill with a single blow.
Fortunately, those who can make it in the world are generally not mediocre people. Most of them react very quickly and can not only dodge but also launch a counterattack.
Those who couldn't dodge in time could only desperately stack protection on themselves, hoping that the opponent's attack would be weaker and their own protection program would be more effective.
If you have absolutely nothing, all you can do is stand there, pale-faced, waiting for the pain and harm to come.
However, the expected pain did not occur.
On the contrary, those with ill intentions, right before everyone's eyes, disappeared without a trace, along with their attacks, as if they had been snatched away by something.
In addition to the competition platform and the Flower Rain Sable that had just vanished into thin air, there were also some puppets present who had previously encountered puppets that suddenly appeared and disappeared.
In an instant, everyone realized that this was the work of the people from the secret realm, and they also understood that the other party meant for them not to cause trouble here.
They looked at each other for a while, and finally, in a tacit understanding, they either left in groups or individually.
Those with ulterior motives quickly put away their schemes and dared not plot any more mischief.
They didn't even dare to look at those who had obtained the Golden Cauldron Sprout, for fear that if they glanced at them a few more times, they might lose their temper and start a fight, and be punished by the master of the secret realm.
Yes, in their view, those who were swept away were either thrown away to be punished, or—already dead.
Of course, they were right. Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation to cause trouble, loot, or rob were all thrown into the most harsh and barren environments by Immortal Venerable Luofeng.
Not only that, Immortal Venerable Luofeng also gifted them with many ferocious high-level spirit beasts. Whether they could survive, or who could survive, depended entirely on their own methods and abilities.
Meanwhile, back in the control center, Shushu finally reunited with Lu Li and his friends.
They discovered that they had all made great progress, and while everyone was happy for each other, they also spontaneously got involved, none of them wanting to be the last one to come in.
So, after the brief meeting, without any prompting from Immortal Venerable Luofeng, everyone consciously returned to training.
Two more years passed in this way, and most of the inheritances of the Fallen Maple Secret Realm had been taken away. The few remaining ones were already being tested by others.
