Chapter 116 The entire army was wiped out
The number of spirit stones in Ruan Xing's pocket has never exceeded ten thousand. Tens of thousands of spirit stones are indeed a lot for her. She was a little disappointed that she did not find the spirit stones that Elder Xu took away after killing him.
But Elder Xu is a Jindan Zhenren, and Hall Master Xu is a Yuanying Zhenjun. Would they be interested in such a small profit?
But she didn't have any further clues, so she couldn't make any conclusion.
Listening to Ruan Xing's repeated questioning, Xu Sirui's face turned ugly, "What does it have to do with you? I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. If you provoke me, at most you will not be able to survive in the sect, but if you provoke my Xu family, I guarantee that you will not be able to survive in the world of the living."
"That's exactly what I thought." Ruan Xing said with a smile, "Then let's give it a try and see who can survive to the end."
When asked about the details of the mission assigned by the sect leader, Xu Sirui would not say anything. Ruan Xing guessed that it was because she herself did not know. Although Xu Sirui was the biological daughter of Sect Leader Xu, her cultivation was destined to make her have no say in the Xu family, and she would not be involved in too many internal affairs of the Xu family.
After finishing the real-life simulation, Ruan Xing felt that time was running out. She quickly started several text simulations and quickly upgraded her weapon-refining skills to the second level.
Then he hurried down the mountain, spent sixty or seventy medium-grade spirit stones, and bought two storage bags of more than ten square meters in size, and put all the refining materials that he had spotted in the simulation into his bag.
With these materials in hand, if she wants to upgrade her weapon-refining skills in the future, she can rely on them to simulate and gain proficiency.
After finishing these things, she returned to Yaoguang Peak and waited at the door of Qin Taihe's house, wanting to get the first-hand information that Qin Taihe had just obtained.
Qin Taihe had not returned yet. It had been almost an hour since he left. She waited patiently for another quarter of an hour before finally seeing Qin Taihe's distraught figure.
She hurriedly went up to him, "Senior Brother Qintai..."
Boom——
A loud thunderclap in the distance startled Ruan Xing. The two looked in the direction where the sound came from. In the dark sky, a layer of gray-black clouds were hovering in the distance.
"It's so scary. Senior Sister Meng Hui's calamity cloud still looks so powerful even from such a distance." Ruan Xing sighed.
Qin Taihe did not respond, withdrew his gaze, and walked towards his own house.
Yinfeng's golden pupils were filled with worry, and he stretched out his soft tongue to lick Qintai He's hand, as if to comfort him.
"Brother Qintai?" Ruan Xing followed him and pulled his sleeve in confusion, "What happened?"
Qin Taihe's eyes were dimmed, and he looked bewildered. He said faintly, "I might be dying."
……
An hour ago.
The owners of the two streaks of light that Ruan Xing had once glanced at were now standing upright in front of the hall, bowing with sword in hand.
The current leader of Xuanbing Sect stood in front of them with a solemn expression, "Du Ruo, Mu Shi, is what you two said true?" "Every word is true." Mu Shi lowered his head and replied.
The clan leader lowered his head and thought for a moment.
When he received the news from Nanzhou, he sent two people to pick up the remaining dozen people who had returned, but they did not receive them as expected. After the two reported to him, they searched along the way and finally found traces at the junction of Jinxia Sect and Hanhai Sect. It was a pity that a space crack appeared there for no reason, which involved all the people who appeared nearby at that time. The two did not dare to get close and quickly reported the matter to the sect master.
After hearing the news, the sect master felt mixed emotions. He was happy because the appearance of the space-time rift most likely indicated that a new secret realm had appeared there. Now other sects didn't know the news yet. As long as his Xuanbing Sect took control of the new secret realm first, he could immediately make up for the loss of two consecutive secret realms in Nanzhou.
What is worrying is that the location where the time-space rift appeared is not bordering the Xuanbing Sect of Nanzhou. I just hope that this secret realm is not opened at a fixed location, otherwise the Jinxia Sect and the Hanhai Sect will definitely want to get a piece of the pie and make some trouble.
He immediately sent a Taoist master who had reached the state of being a deity, Li Mengfan, the master of Xiaochi Peak, to confirm whether it was indeed a space-time rift in the secret realm, and to send a message to the Xuanbing Sect in Nanzhou, asking them to atone for their sins and protect the news of the space-time rift from leaking out.
Unfortunately, when Master Li Feng went to investigate, the noise made by resisting the space-time rift was too loud, and not only did she return injured, but she also alarmed two nearby sects.
Du Ruo asked boldly, "Sect Master, although the head of Nanzhou and the elders had arrived when we left, the two of them might not be enough to stop the other sects from coveting the secret realm. Should we prepare early and send more people over?"
The sect leader frowned and asked, "Du Ruo, what did your master say before he fell into a coma?"
Du Ruo answered carefully, "Master said that it is not like an ordinary secret realm... It is unobstructed when approaching, but difficult to leave, and the aura in it is different, it does not seem like a place with abundant spiritual energy."
One of the most important elements to become a secret place is the abundance of spiritual energy.
The words left by Master Li Feng before she fell into a coma were also one of the important reasons why the Sect Master hesitated. Master Li Feng was already over a thousand years old and had explored many secret realms in her life. The fact that she could say such words was enough to prove that this space-time rift was not a place that could be trespassed into. She had even been injured to the point of falling into a coma before she entered. If one really needed to go in and find the core to control the secret realm, at least several Dao Lords would be needed.
The greater possibility is that they will never return. It would be fine to treat the low-level disciples as consumables, but if one is used up by the Taoist Master of Transformation, there will be one less. The Xuanbing Sect does not have the capital to do so.
Moreover, this crack has already been known by the Jinxia Sect and the Hanhai Sect. Even if the Xuanbing Sect takes the trouble to capture it, it still has to share a little benefit with them. It is really not worth it.
"Did the Jinxia Sect and the Hanhai Sect make any requests?" asked the sect leader.
Du Ruo hesitated and said, "Jinxia Sect said they want to split it equally... Hanhai Sect said they should each send an equal number of disciples to compete, and whoever can get the core secret realm will get it, and the other two sects can share 10% of the profits."
"Oh, what a big face." The sect leader sneered, "Master Cheng Feng, what do you think?"
There are currently more than a dozen Dao Lords who have reached the state of being a god in Xuanbing Sect, but not many of them are involved in the sect’s affairs. Most of them are concentrating on practicing in seclusion, or concentrating on training their disciples.
When several Daojuns arrived, they sat aside and listened to the whole process silently. Cheng Yan stroked his beard and said, "Jinxia Sect and Hanhai Sect don't seem to know that even a Daojun of the Incarnation God can't escape unscathed from this space-time rift. In this case, I believe in Master Li Feng's judgment that this space-time rift is not necessarily a secret realm. We can give up."
“Even if we give up, Jinxia Sect and Hanhai Sect are so arrogant that they don’t take our Xuanbing Sect seriously. We might as well take advantage of the current information gap and teach them a lesson.” Taoist Qingyuan was no longer silent and spoke with a cold and arrogant expression.
