Chapter 655: 564 Leaving Secret Realm_1

Seeing Shen Long emerge from the green mist, Liu Yuan and the other two let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother Shen, is the control nexus really here?"

Liu Yuan asked.

Shen Long nodded and said, "Indeed, it is here, and there are some resources on top of it. This share of resources belongs to you."

He took out three storage bracelets and handed them to Liu Yuan and the others, each containing some Cultivation Resources.

He could have monopolized the loot, but there was no need to. Having more friends opened more paths.

His own gains were considerable, and the items he was sharing were less than one fiftieth of his total haul.

Liu Yuan accepted the storage bracelet and, with a sweep of his Divine Sense, a joyful expression crossed his face.

"Thank you very much, Taoist Friend Shen."

Zhao Yuqian and Li Changqing thanked him and took the storage bracelets.

Shen Long had slain Chen Qian and four others, and it was Shen Long alone who had broken the prohibitions. Even if he had kept all the wealth to himself, they would have said nothing.

Now that Shen Long had shared part of the wealth with them, it was quite generous.

"Do you plan on leaving this place? I can control the Formation to teleport outsiders away. If you enter Feathered Wing Hall, you can avoid being teleported out,"

Shen Long asked.

"We’ve already gained quite a bit, and we still don’t know if there are any rank six Monster Beasts here, so it’s better to teleport out sooner rather than later. How about this? You stay in Feathered Wing Hall and teleport us out. We will report back to our elders on this matter,"

Li Changqing suggested.

"Indeed! It would be better to leave sooner,"

Zhao Yuqian agreed wholeheartedly.

"I’ll go out too! To report to Master Uncle Li. In this case, Junior Brother Shen, you first teleport Fairy Zhao and Taoist Friend Li out. I’ll teleport out later to prove that we hold control over the nexus,"

Liu Yuan shared his opinion.

This way, it would prove that the control nexus was in the hands of Qianling Sect disciples. If Liu Yuan and the other two were teleported out simultaneously, those outside might not believe that Shen Long was in control of the nexus.

"Let’s do it this way, then!"

Shen Long agreed and led Liu Yuan back to Feathered Wing Hall.

He replaced the Spirit Stones on the Formation, took out a square, cyan token, infused it with Mana, and a cyan light shot out, merging into the Formation.

The Formation shook violently, and all the Array Patterns shone brightly.

Outside the Secret Realm, a large number of Soul Transformation Cultivators suddenly appeared in the air, most of them with bewildered expressions on their faces as they were abruptly teleported out.

The Soul Transformation Cultivators flew towards their respective camps to report to their seniors.

"What’s going on? Master Nephew Lin?"

Madam Xu frowned and asked, looking at a tall and thin man dressed in a black robe.

"I don’t know either, Aunt Master Xu. We were suddenly teleported out,"

The man in the black robe said.

Li Changqing and Zhao Yuqian hastily reported to Li Wanyue and Zhao Yan, and upon learning that Shen Long controlled the Secret Realm, delight appeared on their faces.

"Taoist Friend Li, Young Friend Shen has taken control of the Secret Realm. There are plenty of resources inside, and so far, no rank six Monster Beasts have been found,"

Li Wanyue communicated to Li Dong through divine transmission.

Knowing the truth, Li Dong was overjoyed.

"Madam Xu, the Secret Realm is now under the control of a disciple from our Qianling Sect. Shall we continue the fight?"

Li Dong spoke up.

"Hmph, who says it is just because you say so?"

Madam Xu was skeptical.

"Words alone are not proof; evidence must be presented."

Ning Sheng spoke dispassionately.

If the Secret Realm truly was under the control of Qianling Sect disciples, it would be fruitless to continue the fight. No matter how many Unity Cultivators they sent into the Secret Realm, they would be teleported out.

"In half an incense stick’s time, Liu Yuan will be teleported out. We’ll see then,"

Li Dong said unconcernedly.

After half an incense stick’s time had passed, Liu Yuan was teleported out.

"Master Uncle Li, Junior Brother Shen is still in Feathered Wing Hall, controlling the Secret Realm," Liu Yuan said loudly, clear enough for everyone to hear.

Some disciples of the Yinluo Sect recognized Liu Yuan, which allowed them to infer that the Secret Realm had indeed been taken over by the Qianling Sect disciples.

Xu Jiaojiao’s complexion was unsightly as she communicated with Ning Sheng through a voice transmission.

In the Secret Realm, there were quite a few fifth-order Monster Beasts, and none of their disciples had encountered sixth-order creatures. Their disciples had harvested many aged Spiritual Medicines, and the loot was substantial.

Shen Long had taken control of the Secret Realm, making it difficult for outsiders to break through the entrance.Though one could forcefully open the entrance and send people inside to search for treasure, they would be teleported out unless a Soul Transformation Cultivator intervened; But since they had not found anything particularly valuable, it wasn’t practical to have a Unity Cultivator step in.

"Let’s leave," Xu Jiaojiao said with a sweep of her large sleeve, summoning a black-glowing flying boat that whisked her and her disciples away.

Ning Sheng and the others also departed with their disciples, while the Qianling Sect disciples cheered.

"Taoist Friend Li, now that they have retreated, we too shall take our leave," Li Wanyue said.

With the Secret Realm located within the Qianling Sect’s territory and now under their disciples’ control, it wasn’t appropriate for them to propose sharing the realm. Having lost some Divinity Transformation Cultivators but gaining a batch of resources, it wasn’t a loss after all.

"Taoist Friend Li, you must still be vigilant against their return, and arrange for people to be permanently stationed in the Secret Realm," Zhao Yan advised.

"Of course, I’d like to thank you all for your help this time. Should you need our assistance in the future, feel free to ask," Li Dong said.

Li Wanyue and Zhao Yan nodded, leading their clansmen and disciples away.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the entrance opened.

"Master Nephew Liu, Master Nephew Zhao, go in and tell Junior Brother Shen to come out. You will replace him and guard the Secret Realm. Without my order, do not allow anyone else to enter," Li Dong instructed.

Liu Yuan and Zhao Tianhu acknowledged the command, and along with eight fellow disciples, they entered the Secret Realm.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Long was teleported out.

Shen Long landed in front of Li Dong, bowed, and said, "Disciple pays respects to Master Uncle Li.

"Junior Brother Shen, you’ve done very well," Li Dong said, his face showing approval.

"Master Uncle Li, Master Aunt Lin, I’ve obtained quite a few valuable items," Shen Long said as he produced two Storage Bracelets and handed them to Li Dong and the other.

"We will stay here on guard to prevent the enemy from returning. Master Nephew Liu, you go back to the headquarter and report to Senior Sister Mo, and ask her to send reinforcements," Li Dong ordered.

"Understood, Master Uncle Li," Liu Xuan complied, leading a team of fellow disciples away.

...

The Blood Flame Mountain Range stretches over trillions of miles, and it was there that over seventy thousand years ago, the Blood Flame True Monarch founded his sect and established the Blood Flame Sect, making it the sect’s main base.

Deep within the Blood Flame Mountain Range, one could see numerous buildings and disciples of the Blood Flame Sect.

A streak of blood light flew from a distance, entering deep into the Blood Flame Mountain Range and halting above a vast estate.

The Escape Light converged, revealing a blood-light rotating flying shuttle, with Ning Sheng and the others standing on it.

"You may go about your business," Ning Sheng said.

The Divinity Transformation Cultivators complied and went their separate ways.

Ning Sheng and four others landed in the estate. Not far away, there was a cyan Stone Pavilion, where a fat, blood-robed old man sat.

"Ning Junior Brother, how did it go?" the blood-robed old man asked.

That was Liu Hong, a Hollow Phasing Late Stage Cultivator and the Sect Leader of the Blood Flame Sect.

"The Secret Realm has been taken over by the disciples of the Qianling Sect. Our disciples obtained a substantial amount of cultivation resources, the most precious being a twenty-thousand-year-old Blood Lizard Wood," Ning Sheng reported.
