Chapter 1148: Chapter 1148: Meeting the Sect Master

"Haha, what if I am a scoundrel? What can you do to me?"

Gui Xiao laughed loudly, full of pride.

"If you want to blame anyone, blame your Sect Master for being too weak; he was no match for our Sect Master!"

"When our Sect Master returns from the Secret Realm, it will be the end for all you weaklings!"

His arrogant attitude further enraged the disciples of Jinmu Sect and Feiyu Sect.

At that moment, behind them, the entrance to the Secret Realm suddenly rippled slightly.

Gui Xiao’s spirit was lifted. "The Secret Realm is about to open! Keep an eye on these guys and prepare to welcome the return of our Sect Masters!"

Immediately, the Core Disciples from the Four Sects gathered at the entrance of the Secret Realm, standing with their hands behind their backs.

Excitement shone on everyone’s faces.

They all knew very well how many treasures the Secret Realm held within.

With their own Sect Masters emerging from it, it meant that their respective Sect’s strength would grow further, and they, the Core Disciples, would be the direct beneficiaries.

"I’ve been at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage for a long time now; capturing these guys should definitely earn me a reward from the Sect Master!"

"By then, my strength will inevitably advance further, and I will outclass the Core Disciples of the other Four Sects!"

Carried away by his excitement, Gui Xiao looked toward the thickening white mist.

The mist slowly flowed and transformed into a gateway shape.

A moment later, a crack formed in the middle of the white mist, as if a large door was opening to both sides.

In the gaze of the crowd, the figure of Miao Si appeared within their sight.

Gui Xiao, with a grave expression, bellowed, "Greetings, Sect Master!"

Behind him, the disciples of Ghost Yin Sect roared in unison.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

Their voices resonated like a great bell across the field.

This was supposed to be a celebration-worthy event as the first emergence from the Secret Realm, but Miao Si’s face showed no sign of happiness.

Facing his disciples’ welcome, Miao Si merely waved his hand and said indifferently, "I know, all of you withdraw."

Following him, the other three Sect Masters also appeared one by one.

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

The disciples of the other three sects, not wanting to fall behind in grandeur, also stood solemnly and shouted loudly.

However, Miao Si and the others looked more disheartened than ever, bearing injuries as if they had been ravaged by frost.

The Core Disciples of the Four Sects, seeing this, couldn’t help but murmur among themselves.

"What’s going on with the Sect Masters?"

"I don’t know... Did they encounter a formidable enemy in there?"

"But all the Sect Masters have returned..."

They looked at each other, initially clueless about what had transpired.

However, it wasn’t long before they saw the peculiar expressions on the faces of their fellow sect brothers who followed the Sect Masters.

Each of these fellow disciples, without exception, was either injured or had been carried out unconscious.

This immediately caused the disciples outside to buzz with discussions, wondering if their leaders had encountered significant trouble in the Secret Realm.

Seeing this, Gui Xiao hastily stepped forward to claim credit: "Reporting to the Sect Master, in accordance with your orders, I have captured all the remaining members of Jinmu Sect!"

With that said, the disciples of Ghost Yin Sect immediately dragged Tan Xi, Qian Hong, and others forward.

"Kneel down!" Gui Xiao bellowed.

Tan Xi sneered, "Kneel to your grandpa!"

Gui Xiao’s face darkened: "Ignorant fool!"

He stepped forward, ready to teach Tan Xi a lesson.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar suddenly came from behind.

Seeing Miao Si’s gloomy face approaching, Gui Xiao raised the corners of his mouth in a cold smile, relishing the disaster: "Ignorant ants, now you are doomed! You’ve angered our Sect Master; he will surely torment you thoroughly!"

"By then, you’ll wish you could die but won’t be able to!"

Tan Xi clenched his teeth and retorted coldly, "Come on! If I even frown, I wouldn’t believe in Tan!"

But seeing Miao Si marching toward him, Tan Xi internally faltered.

After all, the opponent was the Sect Master of Ghost Yin Sect, who was best known for concocting cruel methods to torment living beings.

Thinking of falling into his hands, despite his defiant heart, Tan Xi couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

The disciples of the other sects also looked on with schadenfreude, waiting to see how Tan Xi would be tortured by Miao Si.

"Scoundrel! Come at me!"

Qian Hong struggled forward, trying to help, but his weakened body barely supported his actions.

Seeing the tragic plight of Qian Hong, Miao Si’s eyes darkened further.

He strode up to Gui Xiao, his face expressionless.

Gui Xiao hurriedly bowed and adopted an attitude of claiming credit: "Sect Master, there’s no need for this; these are all things your disciple should do..."

Slap!

Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap resounded across the field.

Gui Xiao covered his face, looking bewilderedly at his own Sect Master: "Sect Master, why, why are you hitting me?"

I was supposed to have merits!

Why am I the one being slapped?!

Miao Si gritted his teeth and scolded: "You scoundrel! Who allowed you to do this?!"
