Chi Changye directly entered the peak of earthly immortals and was at the breaking point. If the occasion was right, he could break through and cross the tribulation. Moreover, his immortal energy had also become extremely condensed after being hammered. He looked at the sword energy emerging from his hand. Compared with when he just entered the secret realm, his strength had more than doubled.
However, as he took a few steps forward, his aura weakened again, and he could only maintain the state of just breaking through and entering the peak of earthly immortals. There was still a big difference between just entering the peak of earthly immortals and facing the tribulation. This period might take hundreds of years or even longer.
Gu Yao and Xu Chen also gained a lot. Gu Yao also directly jumped two small levels from the middle stage of earthly immortals and entered the peak of earthly immortals. Of course, he is still some distance away from breaking through to heavenly immortals. The reason why he was able to jump two small levels is that in addition to the credit of the Fire God Body Training Method, there is also the help of the Fire Marrow Immortal Crystal, which greatly improved the grade of the exotic fire and fed back to him as the master.
The same reason, Xu Chen also jumped two small levels and entered the late stage of earthly immortals. Xu Chen was so excited that he almost danced with joy.
Like Chi Changye, they all lowered their displayed cultivation levels, otherwise such a rapid improvement would make people suspect that they had obtained some treasure in the secret realm. Therefore, one of them remained in the late stage of Earthly Immortal, and the other in the middle stage of Earthly Immortal, and both only improved by one small level. In the eyes of outsiders, this was also a great improvement.
"Let's go out and meet up with the others at the exit. If we are late, we won't be able to leave."
The three of them flashed towards the Wood Secret Realm. Now the environment in the Fire Realm did not pose much danger to them. Compared with the past, their speed has increased by more than two or three times. They
did not meet other people along the way, and they must have left first.
However, just as they were about to pass through that barrier, a figure flashed out. It was Xu Chuan who had cooperated with them.
Xu Chen's eyes rolled around. If this man was sincere in cooperating, then he had a great vision. With Gu Yao's current cultivation, refining Yin Yang Xuan Tian Dan was no problem. What he needed was to gradually become familiar with the refining of these pills.
If he was sincere in cooperating, it would not be impossible to give him an opportunity.
Gu Yao asked, "Are you waiting for us here, Brother Xu? Have the others left?"
"Yes," Xu Chuan nodded. "I haven't seen you three come out yet. I think you are still inside, so I am waiting here. I hope you three can help me keep another storage ring."
He always felt that Chi Changye's strength was still reserved. This man made him unpredictable.
Gu Yao laughed dumbly and took it. It didn't make any difference whether he kept one or two.
"Take care, the three of you."
"Take care, fellow Daoist Xu too."
The four of them clasped their fists together and went in two directions to avoid suspicion of their private dealings.
Usually, the end of a trip to a secret realm is when the fighting is most intense. Because Gu Yao and the other two were practicing the Fire God Body Training Method, they stayed until the very end before interrupting, so they didn't know what the situation was in the secret realm. If the Kang family needed help and they didn't show up in time, I wonder if the Kang family would have any opinions about them. They
rushed all the way and soon arrived at the gathering place. The three of them were surprised to find that the two camps were actually at peace, but with a glance, they could see that the number of surviving cultivators from the Yu family was much less than that of the Kang family.
Seeing the three of them appear from afar, Kang Minghao and others who had been worried all along finally smiled.
"Great, you're finally here. I was afraid you wouldn't be able to catch up."
"Sorry, I was in seclusion for a while and almost forgot the time." Gu Yao apologized.
There was still more than a day before the exit was opened, so Gu Yao and the other two stayed with Kang Minghao and the others, while Xu Chuan showed up half a day later. Seeing him reappear, the Yu family didn't look very happy. Perhaps they felt that this guy was not of much help to the Yu family, and he disappeared when they needed him.
Kang Minghao told Gu Yao and the others about what happened after they separated. Gu Yao and the others then realized that the later reduction in the Yu family had nothing to do with the Kang family. They also learned that there had been a riot in the Fire Region, and the reduction in the Yu family was due to that riot.
Gu Yao did not think much about it, but Chi Changye had a flash of suspicion, suspecting that the riot Kang Minghao mentioned was related to the volcanic eruption caused by the angry fire toad, but even if it was related, they would not admit it, so they changed their minds and put it behind them.
Kang Minghao looked at the Yu family members opposite him and reminded them in a low voice: "Yu Yibo is dead this time. The Yu family members outside must have known about his death when he died. Yu Yibo's mother Yu Lan will definitely not give up. I think we will face a crisis when we get out, and it may affect you. You must be careful."
Gu Yao nodded. They had thought about this when Yu Yibo died. While talking to Kang Minghao, he secretly handed the jade box containing the dead wood grass to Kang Minghao. The latter put it into the storage ring without making a sound. His heartbeat accelerated a lot, and he tried hard to control himself and not show it.
The Kang family had a pretty good survival rate this time, and they were originally very happy, but the closer they got to the time of leaving, the more depressed they became, because they didn't find the deadwood grass. No matter how big their other gains were, they were nothing compared to the deadwood grass.
The Yu family was also in a bad mood. They should have been happy that the Kang family didn't find the deadwood grass, but Yu Yibo was dead, and they were also suspected of failing to protect him. Moreover, there were more Kang family members who survived than them, which was not a good thing for the Yu family.
The Yu family came in with the purpose of hunting down as many of the Kang family members as possible, but in the Fire Region, due to a riot, two top-level earthly immortals were killed, and with other casualties, the Yu family suddenly became weak. Comparing the strength of both sides, the Yu family members dared not have the same idea as before, especially when most of the top-level earthly immortals of the Kang family survived.
This is the fundamental reason why the fight that Gu Yao thought did not happen later, otherwise the Yu family would not be able to hunt, but would become the target of hunting.
"It's open, the exit is open."
The space where they came in was shaking, and soon, the same aperture as when they came in appeared in everyone's eyes. Everyone flew towards the aperture, and Gu Yao and the other two took the opportunity to mix in with the Kang family team.
As soon as they flew out of the light circle, a force swept them away, and a voice rang in their ears: "No need to resist."
Following this force to the side of the Kang family's celestial elder, they saw a female cultivator in the opposite Yu family's camp, staring at them with a gloomy face. They had met her in the previous competition. This person was Yu Yibo's mother, Yu Lan. When Yu Yibo died and his soul tablet shattered, Yu Lan even made an unreasonable request to open the secret realm in advance.
Because opening the secret realm requires the cooperation of the Kang family, and the Yu family alone cannot do it, so Yu Lan's unreasonable demands are simply impossible to achieve. During that time, Yu Lan was making trouble everywhere. Although the Kang family didn't know what happened in the secret realm, they would not let this crazy woman Yu Lan cause trouble. Before the secret realm was reopened to take people out, the Yu and Kang families had fought several rounds, which allowed the ordinary cultivators in Yu Kang City to see a lot of excitement.
"Tell me, how did Yi Bo die? Don't try to hide it from me, or you will have no place to hide!" As soon as she landed, Yu Lan's angry voice rang out in the sky. As soon as the pressure of the celestial being was released, the children of the Yu family who had just come out of the secret realm were almost unable to stand steadily.
"Nonsense!" A celestial elder intervened and interrupted, and the pressure on those cultivators suddenly decreased. "Those who came back are children who have made contributions to the Yu family, you can't do whatever you want!"
Such nonsense, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the children who worked hard in the secret realm? And to be honest, some people have long been dissatisfied with Yu Lan's tolerance of her son Yu Yi Bo's behavior.
Yu Lan's face turned pale, and she pointed at Yu Yike: "You tell me, you are the leader, how did Yu Yi die, tell me the truth, no matter who did it, I, Yu Lan, will make him pay for my son's life!"
The elder looked at his disciple and said: "Yike, you tell me, the master is here."
Yu Yike bowed and said: "None of the monks in Junior Brother Yi Bo's team survived. It was too late when we arrived, but before we left, there was a signal for help from the Kang family." He said while looking at the Kang family.
The Yu family would not tolerate Yu Lan's nonsense, and the Kang family would not do it either. While the interrogation was going on, the elders of the Kang family had arranged for their children to board the flying boat and prepare to leave, and the flying boat was just about to start.
"Wait, you can't leave!" Yu Lan jumped into the air and stopped the flying boat of the Kang family. She knew that he must have died at the hands of the Kang family, but she needed more accurate information. Otherwise, they would not have troubled the Kang family so many times before these people came out.
The elder of the Kang family narrowed his eyes and looked at the elders of the Yu family, saying: "Is this your attitude? Then my son of the Kang family died at the hands of you Yu family, do we also have to hold you Yu family accountable?"
"The grudges in the secret realm should be resolved in the secret realm. This has always been the principle followed by the Yu and Kang families. Is it going to set a precedent this time?" Another elder also attacked.
"Hand over the murderer who killed my son!" Yu Lan said forcefully.
"Get lost!" The Great Elder didn't want to mess around with Yu Lan. Under the pressure of the peak of the celestial being, Yu Lan couldn't bear it, and the flying boat flew away in a blink of an eye.
"Great Elder, is my son's death in vain?" Yu Lan shouted in grief.
The Great Elder glanced at her calmly and said, "It's not just your son who died. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
The latter part of the words was said to others. Looking at the casualties of the Yu family, it was clear that the Yu family did not have the upper hand in this secret realm, so he would ask about the situation in the secret realm after returning.
On the Kang family side, the elders were also asking about the situation in the secret realm, especially how Yu Yibo died. Kang Minghao and the Kang family members who were rescued at that time looked at each other and said in unison that they all did it together, and in fact Yu Yibo died in an accident, at the hands of his own Yang Huolei. The elders of the Kang family laughed.
Kang Minghao and his friends had a tacit understanding and excluded the three people of Gu Yao who were involved. If the Yu family knew that it was Gu Yao and his friends who did it, they would never let them leave Yu Kangcheng. But if these people of the Kang family admitted it together, could the Yu family kill them all? It would be
much better for them to do this than for Gu Yao and his friends.
