Chapter 1204: Chapter 1224: How Could She Possibly Have So Many by Herself?_1

The light flickered, and the scenery on the ground swiftly receded.

Lin Chen and Nalan Wushuang flew into the sky, whizzing through the horizon, and finally passed through the Secret Realm’s Door opened by the Demon Emperor, returning to the mountains once again.

Lin Chen concealed his breath, appearing weak as he stood behind Nalan Wushuang.

In fact, there was no need to pretend; the bloodstains on his body and his weak appearance made it obvious that his injuries had yet to heal.

People’s gazes swept across Lin Chen briefly, not lingering on him. They saw no reason to pay attention to a human slave.

The trial participants were successively "thrown" out of the Secret Realm, and the glowing white beads gradually dimmed. The Light Door slowly wavered and faded before finally disappearing completely.

The various factions searched for their members, only to discover in shock that only about half of the participants had returned!

The Demon Emperor’s expression was somewhat grave as he scanned the crowd. He felt as if someone was missing, and upon closer inspection, his eyebrows raised.

Demon Ancestor Gu Yue was nowhere to be found!

A hint of surprise appeared in the Demon Emperor’s eyes. Had she died in the Secret Realm?

The Demon Emperor knew her strength well. With peak strength at complete circle, the Xuan Yin Ghost Soldiers, and the trump card of becoming a Great Witch at any time, she had had the confidence to act alone. But now, she was dead?

When the people who had participated in surrounded and killed Kui Niu looked around and didn’t see Demon Ancestor Gu Yue, they were shocked.

"Did Demon Ancestor not come out? The Kui Niu skin was still on her."

The Demon Emperor raised an eyebrow: "Kui Niu skin?"

Someone immediately stepped forward and recounted the battle with Kui Niu, "After killing Kui Niu, we handed the two legs and skin of Kui Niu to the Demon Ancestor..."

The Demon Emperor’s expression turned serious. Kui Niu was a fierce beast rarely seen even in ancient times, its skin a divine treasure. Now that they had finally obtained it, there was an unexpected hitch.

"Did someone kill the Demon Ancestor for the Kui Niu skin?"

"Should we check everyone’s spatial rings?"

"Who can kill a Demon Ancestor, she’s a Demon Ancestor!"

"Well, she just came back to life, her strength shouldn’t be too strong, right?"

"Perhaps the Demon Ancestor encountered other fierce beasts. After all, there were too many dangerous creatures inside, dense like weeds. As she was alone, it wouldn’t be too surprising if something happened to her..."

The Demon Emperor’s expression darkened as he scanned the various groups. He noticed that all of them had suffered heavy losses.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to abandon his investigation. Others may not be aware of Gu Yue’s capabilities, but he knew her prowess better than anyone.

None of these people could kill her, even if they formed a team, they still couldn’t possibly kill her. After all, she could become a Great Witch at any moment, possessing the power to instantly annihilate them.

As for ambush?

Who had the ability to instantly ambush and kill her?

The Demon Emperor waved his hand, "In the Emperor’s Secret Realm, everyone relies on their own means. I’m well acquainted with her strength; no one could kill her. Since she hasn’t come out, she likely encountered an unpredictable accident."

"According to the previously set rules, everyone shall reveal their collected Guilingzhi. The top three harvesters can receive the corresponding rewards."

Lin Chen hung his head and let out a silent sigh of relief when he heard this.

Fortunately!

The Demon Emperor’s words were indeed correct. If it weren’t for his variable, no one would have been able to kill her based on her strength alone in the Secret Realm!

They had barely made it through!

No need to escape for their lives anymore!

Nalan Wushuang, who was beside Lin Chen, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they didn’t check the spatial rings, she wouldn’t be in a hurry. After all, she was alone and only in the early stage of being a Great Demon. Even if they suspected someone, they probably wouldn’t suspect her.

Nalan Wushuang looked at the others, feeling a little apprehensive. She needed to secure first place to receive the first prize, which included the Bodhi Blood.

Could she get first?

After each faction displayed their harvested Guilingzhi, Lin Chen quickly scanned the scene, a hint of surprise in his heart.

Eight, thirteen, seventeen...

The two of them had previously headed towards the central area for five days, collecting five Guilingzhi – then someone tried to rob them, contributing four more. After killing Kui Niu, they wandered around the central area for a few days, collecting seven more. Finally, they obtained eight more from the Demon Ancestor, for a total of twenty-four Guilingzhi.

All factions had revealed their harvest, with the most being Xuanwu Gate – seventeen in total.

The people from Xuanwu Gate looked delighted. Could they be the first?

There were plenty of rewards for the first place!

Magical treasures, elixirs, natural treasures, nothing lacking!

Nalan Wushuang stepped forward, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, began to take out her findings one by one.

Originally, everyone watched with a dismissive attitude. After all, Nalan Wushuang was just one person at the early stage of being a Great Demon. How much could she possibly collect?

Maybe she had been robbed and didn’t even have one.

However, as the number of Guilingzhi in front of Nalan Wushuang began to increase, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.

She managed to collect so many all by herself?

How did she do it?

Nalan Wushuang pulled out nineteen of them, before stopping.

The delight on the faces of the people from Xuanwu Gate froze.

All their efforts with so many people had actually been defeated by the Holy Maiden alone. It was too humiliating!
