The Young Master Storms the City
Chapter 1094 Guardian

Chapter 1094: Chapter 1094 Guardian

The terrifying aura was too formidable; if they fought to the death now, they would surely be gravely injured.

It was still unclear what existed within this dense forest, and if they got injured now, who knew what they might encounter next; relying solely on Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu might not be enough for a safe escape.

Just as they were fleeing into the dense forest, the terrifying aura suddenly descended.

"Dear heavens..."

"What, what is this..."

"Help! Help! Ahhhhh!"

Behind them, the disciples of the Four Sects let out screams of disbelief and terror, followed by the sound of flesh being torn apart.

Ning Fan looked back, only to see a swirling mass of thick black air, his Spiritual Power unable to clearly detect what was inside.

"What on earth is hidden in this Secret Realm... to have such a terrifying presence."

A heavy feeling arose in Ning Fan’s heart; he had thought this was merely a treasure trove.

It seemed true that fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.

Quickly, the three of them delved deeper into the dense forest and only after completely losing track of that terrifying aura did Ning Fan stop.

"Sect Master, what do we do now?"

Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng looked around, his expression extremely grim.

He’d already tried using his Spiritual Power to search the area, but couldn’t find a way out.

Or rather, this dense forest seemed to interfere with Spiritual Power.

Huang Gu was also sitting on the ground with a pale face, like one in mourning.

"We’re done for, we’re truly done for... the gate of the Secret Realm is closed, we are completely trapped."

"The Secret Realm can only be opened with a key, and that terrifying monster is still guarding the entrance, we can only wait to die in the Secret Realm..."

Ning Fan took a deep breath, looked around, and reassured, "There must be a way out; with me here, I will definitely lead you out."

He quickly walked over to a withered tree by the roadside, raised his hand, and pressed it to the tree, slowly channeling Spiritual Power into it.

As the Spiritual Power flowed in, a glow appeared on the trunk of the tree.

"What is this?" Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng asked, puzzled.

Ning Fan said solemnly, "This is a mark I left on the trees along the way. With this marker, we can find our way back to the entrance."

Huang Gu and Zhuang Peng exchanged glances, their spirits lifting.

Having this mark meant they could find the entrance and at least not worry about being forever lost here.

"Let’s wait here for a while and move after it gets dark."

With that, Ning Fan sat down cross-legged and began to absorb Spiritual Energy to cultivate.

"The Spiritual Energy here is much richer than the outside world; you should take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen yourselves."

"Remember this, no matter what, your own strength is your greatest reliance."

Seeing their Sect Master so composed, Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu, though still worried, sat down next to Ning Fan to cultivate.

Meanwhile, after escaping from the White Mist Gate, people from Miao Si sat down on the ground, their faces filled with terror.

"That strike just now, it should have trapped that young man inside, right?" Shen Ning frowned.

Miao Si’s expression was gloomy, his eyes filled with vengefulness: "Definitely, the kid is strong, but as long as we delay him for a moment, with the key taken, how could he possibly get out?"

As they escaped, Miao Si immediately threw the Elixir to the other Sect Masters to help them recover their Spiritual Power.

Then, while Ning Fan and his group were still inside, they employed this despicable tactic.

"Hmph, with that kid trapped inside, even with all his skills, he can’t get out!"

"Okay, let’s heal our injuries now, we’ll have to go back in later."

"Go back in?" Shen Ning looked utterly astonished. "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"

The terrifying aura just now had completely dampened his desire to resist.

Miao Si’s expression darkened, "Don’t worry, it’s normal for powerful beings to guard within the Secret Realm, the guardian was clearly drawn there by that young man."

"Now that he’s trapped inside, he’s definitely no match for the guardian. Once the young man is killed, the guardian will naturally fall back into slumber, and we can go in again."

Miao Si’s suggestion was supported by the other Sect Masters.

They had initially hoped to take this chance to kill the Jinmu Sect disciples outside.

However, Tan Xi and Qian Hong reacted quickly, leading their people to flee first, thus avoiding being slaughtered on the spot.

The Four Sects did not make a big show of it but casually sent some disciples to chase after them.

"Now, the focus remains on the Secret Realm. Let’s just guard here and go back in after three days."

Following this, the four Sect Masters sat cross-legged outside the White Mist Gate, healing and waiting for the time to pass.

...

Inside the White Mist Gate, the sky gradually darkened.

As the surrounding light completely faded, Ning Fan suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing across them.

"It’s time, let’s go!"

Led by Ning Fan, following the trail he had previously left, they quickly returned to the clearing they had been in before.

The previously scattered White Mist Gate had now regathered, swirling slowly in mid-air.

Spiritual Power spread out, sweeping around to ensure that the terrifying aura had truly disappeared, before he led the two to the base of the White Mist Gate.

"Sect Master, the gate of the Secret Realm can only be opened with a key, it can’t be forced open by brute strength," Huang Gu reminded.

Ning Fan clenched his fist and said solemnly, "Well, who will know without trying?"

A massive surge of Spiritual Power erupted from within him, all converging on his right hand.

Then, his right fist blasted out, the short burst of sound exploding.

The force contained in this punch, as soon as it was unleashed, started to crack the ground under Ning Fan’s feet, spiderweb-like fissures spreading in all directions.
