The Purple Flame Fan is a seventh-tier magic weapon, forged entirely from purple gold. When activated, it emits five fireballs from the top of the fan. These fireballs are incredibly powerful, and even a Golden Core cultivator might not be able to withstand their attack.
Shi Xuan, however, was prepared. From the moment she came to provoke her, she had anticipated this moment.
She held the Golden Pearl that the sect leader had prepared for her in her hand. The Golden Pearl was activated the moment Fan Mingzhu took out the Purple Flame Fan.
At the same time, she released the puppets she had collected in the main hall in the northeastern mountains, Xiao San, Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Liu. The four puppets surrounded Shi Xuan in the middle.
Shi Xuan was wearing the Light Snow Soft Armor, and with the protective shield of the Flowing Gold Beads, she was not harmed.
But she deliberately clutched her chest, putting on the same acting skills she displayed in the black market for rogue cultivators, and took a few steps back as if she were exhausted. She then glared at Fan Mingzhu with hatred and shouted, "How could you be so vicious! My recording stone has already recorded the process of you attacking me. Today you are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"
As he spoke, he activated the four puppets, which attacked simultaneously.
There are five people on the other side, four puppets, one for each person, and Fan Mingzhu is left, which Shi Xuan will deal with himself.
She took out a new small jade sword, exactly the same one she had used to attack Fan Mingzhu. The moment she laid the sword flat, its tip pointing forward at Fan Mingzhu, Fan Mingzhu was already terrified.
She had a very strong impression of that small jade sword; on the first day in the secret realm, Shi Xuan almost killed her with that very sword.
At this moment, Fan Mingzhu could no longer care about being angry; compared to her life, nothing else mattered.
Almost simultaneously with the release of the jade sword, she simultaneously erected the Golden Bell Shield and activated the directional teleportation talisman, disappearing from the spot.
In reality, Shi Xuan was just putting on an act; this time, she had no intention of actually harming Fan Mingzhu.
The timing on the first day was too good; killing her and disposing of the body would have been fine. But now, with so many people watching and their discord being so public, it's no longer appropriate to kill her.
Unexpectedly, she was so easily frightened that she immediately used a teleportation talisman to run away.
The remaining four junior disciples of the Divine Cauldron Sect had virtually no fighting power and were easily defeated by the puppet.
Shi Xuan retrieved the puppet, met the four pairs of terrified eyes on the ground, and said, "Your Divine Cauldron Sect shouldn't push your luck too far. Our Lianfeng Sword Sect is not to be trifled with either!"
The four Divine Cauldron Sect disciples on the ground nearly vomited blood. Who had gone too far? Wasn't the situation clear enough? Who was being bullied? It was their Divine Cauldron Sect!
The four young disciples were both shocked and frightened. Faced with Shi Xuan's accusations, they were at a loss for words.
"Get out of here!" Shi Xuan shouted. "I have a recording stone to document this. If you come to bully the people of our Lianfeng Sword Sect again, don't blame us for being impolite!"
The four of them scrambled away. They'd told her not to follow the Lianfeng Sword Sect's group, but Junior Sister Mingzhu insisted. Now they'd been beaten up, and Fan Mingzhu herself had vanished without a trace. What a mess!
After escaping using a teleportation talisman, Fan Mingzhu traveled alone for a while before encountering a group from the Langya Sect and the Yuxing Sect.
At this moment, she disregarded her pride and insisted on following behind the two sects' teams.
What if I get lost and Shi Xuan finds me? Shi Xuan can now fly on a sword.
She only feels safe in crowded places now.
It has to be said that Fan Mingzhu was terrified. Shi Xuan didn't care about her at all; he was currently flying away on his sword to search for traces of the main hall elsewhere.
When Fan Mingzhu arrived at the herb garden with the main force of the other sects, the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect had already collected almost everything they needed to.
Looking at the scattered low-grade spiritual plants on the ground, Fan Mingzhu dared not speak out in anger. She had heard from her senior brothers and sisters who had been here before that their Divine Cauldron Sect always reaped great rewards in this Silver Frost Secret Realm. The herb garden was rich in medicinal herbs, and even if their disciples arrived late, they would be treated well and would never leave empty-handed.
But she was about to become the first disciple in the history of the Divine Cauldron Sect to return empty-handed; perhaps this batch of disciples would not fare much better.
It's all Shih-hsuan's fault!
At this moment, Fan Mingzhu hated Shi Xuan to the core. If she had the ability to kill him now, she would definitely do so. Even if others found out, they couldn't do anything to her, the daughter of the Divine Cauldron Sect Master.
But what's infuriating is that Shi Xuan possesses incredibly powerful magical artifacts, puppets, or some other methods she hasn't yet discovered—she can't defeat her! It's truly infuriating that Shi Xuan, a helpless orphan, has so much to offer!
Once the thought of getting rid of Shi Xuan took hold, it became so urgent that she couldn't bear to wait even a moment longer. She wished she could go out right now and ask her father to help her kill Shi Xuan.
The legendary central hall did not appear.
Shi Xuan explored the entire secret realm on his sword but found nothing. However, he did discover several small medicinal herb gardens. Shi Xuan guessed that the time for the main hall to appear had not yet come, but the waiting time could not be wasted. So, Shi Xuan led the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect back to the southwest corner and began a new round of monster hunting.
Disciples of major sects have far fewer opportunities for real combat compared to independent cultivators, except when they are out on missions. Therefore, improving their combat strength is of paramount importance now that they have come to the secret realm.
Despite having collected almost all the spiritual plants in the dense forest, the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect still fought against the demonic beasts for seven days.
On the evening of the seventh day, a golden light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a magnificent golden building flashed for a few moments before disappearing into the clouds.
"It's the central hall!"
"The way this grand hall was made to appear was absolutely spectacular!"
"Let's go, let's go to the central hall!"
...
After waiting for so many days, everyone's goal was the central hall, and unexpectedly, it appeared at this moment.
In an instant, the disciples scattered throughout the secret realm stopped what they were doing and ran towards the direction where the central hall had appeared.
The central hall was located right in the center of the map, much to the delight of some disciples who were already there. They could simply walk in without spending extra time searching. And since the treasures inside were first come, first served, this meant they were getting a huge advantage.
Fan Mingzhu followed behind Langya Sect and Yuxing Sect, right within the sight of the main hall. She could enter the hall in less than fifty steps by simply turning around.
Overjoyed, she immediately turned and ran away.
At this moment, no one paid attention to her anymore. Everyone's attention was drawn to the golden palace. The moment they saw the palace, everyone thought of running over immediately, afraid that someone else would get there first.
Fan Mingzhu was one of the first to arrive.
After spending so many days in this secret realm, experiencing the complete failure of the herb garden and enduring so much injustice and danger, this is the first time she has received the favor of Heaven, allowing the central hall to descend right beside her. This is the fortune she deserves!
