Based on the existing clues, everything Shi Xuan said makes sense.
The constantly resurrecting demons and monsters should be the original inhabitants of Wanjian Village, while the guards should be the people who were "reborn" back then. The latter two groups all died, but they kept resurrecting because of the formation, which created the Wanjian Village secret realm as it is today.
As for that enormous Tree of Compassion, although none of them have been able to extract memories from the black egg yet, it's easy to guess that it grew to such a huge size by consuming the corpses of everyone here.
Red Hair had already trotted over to Shi Xuan's side, his desire to eat the Cixi Tree that had been split in two was quite obvious.
Looking at his expectant eyes, Shi Xuan said, "Do you have a black egg like this? Take that out first, and this tree will be yours."
Red Hair was overjoyed and spat out the tree heart he had eaten last time but hadn't digested.
This thing is so hard that it's impossible to digest. It's just a decoration in your stomach. Trading it for a nutritious and easily digestible tree is the best deal ever.
Shi Xuan disdainfully cast several cleaning spells before storing the two black eggs into the Silver Frost Secret Realm. Then, he turned around and raised his chin at the red-haired man.
Red Hair, having received her instructions, happily let out a "woof" and pounced on the compassionate tree in front of him.
Its body suddenly grew larger, and it opened its huge mouth, biting down on the tree crown in one gulp.
Finally, after Hongmao ate the Cixi Tree that had been broken in two, Shixuan had Jin Dada finish up the mess just like last time, and that finally brought the matter to a close.
At this moment, with the complete demise of the Compassionate Tree, the entire secret realm began to become unstable.
Shi Xuan felt the tremor beneath her feet. She frowned slightly and said, "Let's go up first."
After the group returned to the ground, Shi Xuan discovered that all the pedestrians who had been standing there in a daze on the ruins had also disappeared.
The ground tremors grew stronger.
The energy source that originally kept this place running normally was destroyed by Shi Xuan, and the remaining spiritual energy here can no longer sustain its existence.
“This secret realm is about to collapse,” Lu Shenzhi said, frowning. “Be prepared.”
There are several possibilities when problems occur in secret realms like this. Some can return the way they came, while others will be teleported to some unknown continent, just like Xin Yao in the beginning.
They had no way to get out on their own initiative, and now they could only leave it to fate.
Perhaps because this secret realm was part of the Qian Yuan Continent and not connected to other continents, the five of them were teleported back to their original location the moment the secret realm collapsed.
When they looked around again, they realized they hadn't moved at all.
The old Dragon King Temple was still there. Looking up, the moonlight was bright. Everything here was exactly the same as when they came in, as if everything had happened in the blink of an eye on the Qian Yuan Continent.
Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow: "You're lucky."
The others around him also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had hoped the message would travel back to its original location, if it had truly gone to some unknown place, returning would be extremely difficult.
The group walked out of the dilapidated temple feeling relaxed.
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Let's go back first, hand these two black eggs over to our master to deal with, and then report the situation here to the sect."
Shi Xuan has always been like this. She reports everything she learns about the "new generation" or any major events to the sect truthfully, and never acts on her own initiative.
That kind of behavior of covering things up and taking responsibility for them is not in line with her style.
There are countless people in the sect with higher cultivation levels than her, and they can also mobilize the strength of various sects to solve the problem together. She alone cannot compare to them.
Fame and fortune, and individual heroism were never what she pursued in her carefree life.
"Then let's go quickly," Lu Wenxing sighed deeply, "I've missed the sect's dining hall these past few days!"
Tang Nong seized the opportunity and said, "Why don't you cook a spiritual meal for Second Senior Brother right now? Whatever you want to eat, I have all the ingredients you could possibly need!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wenxing's face scrunched up in a bitter expression: "Third brother, don't scare second brother. He's starving and freezing right now, he can't take a fright."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The group of people emerged from the secret realm with a sense of relief, and even He Weiqing was all smiles.
But the unexpected happened at that moment.
As the group chatted and laughed in a relaxed manner, a terrifying pressure suddenly enveloped them.
This pressure was extremely terrifying, at least from a master of the Void Refinement Realm, and under such pressure, they seemed to be so suppressed that they even had difficulty breathing.
In that instant, the air in the entire area seemed to freeze!
Of the five people, three Nascent Soul cultivators could barely hold on, while the two Golden Core cultivators had already coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
"Who goes there? Why don't you show yourself!" Shi Xuan shouted under the immense pressure, enduring the pressure that threatened to crush him.
"Ha, the one who came to take your life!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Shi Xuan blurted out, "Fan Hongde!"
As Shi Xuan called out his name, a middle-aged man appeared out of thin air. It was none other than Fan Hongde, who had not appeared in the cultivation world for a long time!
Fan Hongde looks very different now compared to two years ago. The change isn't in his appearance, but in his overall demeanor.
He became even more gloomy, and his eyes revealed an extreme ruthlessness.
He landed in front of them, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared directly at Shi Xuan, and sneered, "Now that I've run into you, you're not going to escape!"
As he spoke, a massive, all-encompassing hand pressed down on Shi Xuan.
Fan Hongde hated Shi Xuan to the core, especially after Fan Mingzhu became possessed by a demon.
He didn't want to admit his mistakes and focused solely on blaming Shi Xuan for all the problems.
It was her spiritual root that made Mingzhu uncomfortable, and it was precisely because of this uncomfortable spiritual root that Mingzhu went astray.
However, Shi Xuan relentlessly pursued Mingzhu, forcing her to leave during the Six Sects Grand Competition, making it impossible for her to appear openly in this world again!
How cruel!
Shi Xuan is the culprit behind everything that has happened to Mingzhu!
Shi Xuan felt as if dark clouds were covering his entire head.
The enormous hand, carrying immense pressure, slammed towards Shi Xuan. If it were to strike him, Shi Xuan would surely perish here today.
At this moment, Shi Xuan no longer cared about revealing her trump card. She immediately focused her divine sense on the silver frost on her arm, wanting to enter the silver frost first to avoid this fatal blow.
But in that critical moment, Shi Xuan suddenly realized that she had lost contact with Yin Shuang and could no longer enter Yin Shuang's space!
