"Late stage of the Xuandan realm?" Many people fell silent.
This realm directly outclassed all the sect's geniuses because, as impressive as Li Xun was, he was only in the middle stage of the Xuandan realm.
If a prodigy in the late stage of the Xuandan Realm entered, it would be almost like a dimensional collapse!
Furthermore,
Elder Mo from the Beast Control Sect had a look of respect on his face when he mentioned those people just now. He didn't even dare to utter their names. This was indicative of something significant.
The origins of those mysterious individuals should not be underestimated.
At the very least,
The Beast Control Sect could not afford to offend them.
"It seems that this time in the Yuanhuang Secret Realm, a valuable treasure is about to be unearthed!" someone sighed.
The Beast Control Sect knew before the Yuanhuang Secret Realm was opened that it contained the blood of the ancient Qiongqi. The mysterious individuals mentioned by Elder Mo probably had their own agendas.
Perhaps,
They would also employ some means to foresee what treasures would be unearthed in the Yuanhuang Secret Realm this time.
Thinking of this,
Others looked sympathetically at Elder Xie and the Elder of Lingjian Valley.
They were all human and couldn't help but speculate about what Elder Mo meant.
It was nothing more than cooperation between the two factions, mutual assistance, and obtaining what they required from the Yuanhuang Secret Realm.
Ning Cheng had several mysterious and powerful individuals aiding him.
The living conditions of Li Xun and Yao Feng were extremely dire.
Originally, the two of them had a glimmer of hope against Ning Cheng. However, if those mysterious powerhouses joined the fray, the two of them would be in an almost certain death situation!
"Beast Control Sect, it's time to take action." Above the valley,
In the center of a golden chariot,
A man in brocade clothing sat upright, radiating a divine aura from his body. He exuded an air of authority, as if he were the only one worthy of respect, which was quite compelling.
He tapped the armrest with his fingers, his expression extremely stern.
This individual was none other than the eldest prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had heard all of Elder Mo's words just now.
Ultimately, the Beast Control Sect was still a force within the Zhou Dynasty.
The eldest prince already believed that he was the best candidate to become the next God Emperor, and he could negotiate with individuals from the Great Chu Dynasty.
However, he would never allow other forces within the Great Zhou Dynasty's territory to collaborate with individuals from the Great Chu Dynasty.
What Elder Mo of the Beast Control Sect had just said left him somewhat dissatisfied.
"Even though Ningcheng and Chu Linghe are somewhat powerful, they are..."
The eldest prince opened and closed his eyes, gazing at the valley below. His eyes were extremely profound, and he mumbled softly, "Li Xun, are you really going to meet your doom?"
"Don't let me get the wrong impression!"
Yuanhuang Secret Realm was isolated from the outside world. Even if something happened inside, their soul jade tokens in the outside world would not change in any way.
Because they couldn't be sensed at all.
For this reason, everything was still speculative and inconclusive until the Yuanhuang Secret Realm was opened.
"Buzz!"
At this moment,
A beam of divine light descended from the sky, striking the valley's stone wall with a loud crash.
"Boom!"
There was a deafening explosion that sent shivers down people's souls.
Everyone knew that this was the action of the North Zhenbei King of the Zhou Dynasty.
After King Zhenbei struck the stone wall, a brilliant light broke through the sky, piercing the heavens and the earth. Once again, a dark portal appeared before everyone's eyes.
Inside the portal, a strong wind raged, sweeping across the entire valley.
Despite the biting cold, everyone present remained unmoved. Their eyes were fixed on the portal, eager to see who would emerge first.
Only when those inside emerged could they inquire about what had occurred in the Yuanhuang Secret Realm during the past month.
Not long after,
Three figures gradually materialized within the deep portal.
"Someone's coming out!"
Someone whispered.
Everyone was astonished and watched closely.
The three figures quickly solidified. They appeared to be in a sorry state, with only two of them barely able to stand on their feet, while the third person lay sprawled on the ground.
This individual's clothing was torn, and they were grievously wounded, with half of their body in tatters, oozing blood, and exposed bones, a shocking sight.
What was even more shocking was that it appeared their cultivation had been crippled!
It was difficult to fathom what this person must have encountered in the Yuanhuang Secret Realm to end up in such a state. "Zheng Chuan!"
When no one reacted,
A loud shout rang out.
The figure of the Xuanyin Sect elder flashed and, in an instant, reached Zheng Chuan. His hunched form trembled slightly, and he stared in disbelief at the bloodied figure before him. In a cold voice, he demanded, "Who did this to you?"
Zheng Chuan's dilated pupils rapidly constricted as if he had recollected something dreadful. His body began to tremble involuntarily.
His teeth chattered, making it difficult for him to form a coherent sentence. "This is truly heart-wrenching..." Many people inwardly sighed.
Without a doubt, something had occurred in the Yuanhuang Secret Realm this time, casting a tremendous shadow on Zheng Chuan's psyche, rendering him unwilling to even recall it.
The mere mention of it seemed to fill him with fear.
With this shadow hanging over him, Zheng Chuan's future achievements were likely to be severely hampered, provided his disabled cultivation could be restored.
If it couldn't be restored, he would be a useless individual for the rest of his life.
"Tell me, you two, who inflicted these injuries on Zheng Chuan?" the Xuanyin Sect elder inquired in a cold voice.
His gaze shifted to the two remaining disciples of the Xuanyin Sect.
Initially,
There had been more than a dozen Xuanyin Sect disciples who had entered together, but now, only three had emerged.
Only three remained, and the crucial point was that the team leader, Zheng Chuan, had been battered to such an extent.
He had been anticipating witnessing Xuanyang Sect's misfortune just moments ago. Who would have imagined that the first person to be humiliated would be from Xuanyin Sect?
If he couldn't avenge Zheng Chuan today, their Xuanyin Sect would be utterly disgraced. "Speak up... speak up, Elder. It's... it's the aftermath..."
A disciple of the Xuanyin Sect was shrouded in a terrifying pressure. He quivered all over as he spoke, his lips trembling. "The aftermath?"
The Xuanyin Sect elder's eyes flashed with a murderous intent, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who is Yu Bo?"
Many of the sect elders fell into deep thought.
The name Yu Bo was somewhat unfamiliar. They had never heard of any exceptional disciple from their sect bearing that name. However, the fact that he had inflicted such severe injuries on Zheng Chuan was quite baffling.
Was Yu Bo an unknown figure?
Oddly enough, many people suddenly recalled the mysterious person mentioned by Elder Mo of the Beast Control Sect. Could Yu Bo be one of those mysterious individuals?
"It's... it's... it's the aftermath of a battle."
The Xuanyin disciple who had just spoken added this explanation.
