Chapter 2401: Chapter 2421: Xi Jie, We’ve Encountered a Big Issue

Secret Realm shift?

Upon hearing Master Floating Cloud’s words, the faces of everyone changed.

Had they really been so cursed with misfortune to actually encounter the Secret Realm shift that only happened once every few decades?

As people watched Ghost True Man still furiously destroying the world, a thought simultaneously flashed through their minds.

Could this shift of the Secret Realm have something to do with what Ghost True Man is currently doing?

Master Floating Cloud made a decisive call, "We aren’t far from the safe zone. If we can just escape back to there, we will be able to survive this calamity!"

Everyones’ eyes lit up, that’s right, they had come from the safe zone in pursuit of Ghost True Man, and they hadn’t taken long to catch up to him, which meant they weren’t far from the safe zone now.

If they ran fast enough, and got back to the safe zone before the entire world was swallowed by this endless darkness, then they would still have a chance to live!

"Go!"

Master Floating Cloud grabbed Lin Chen’s arm in an instant, and Liuyun grabbed Xuanhe, the four turned into streaks of light, heading towards the north.

"Where do you think you’re going?"

The mad laughter of Ghost True Man rose between Heaven and Earth as the black light enveloping his body instantly extended, turning into four black ropes that swiftly sliced through the sky and wound around the four streaks of light.

By now, Ghost True Man had burned his life force, and the combat power he unleashed was no laughing matter. The four who were trying to flee were instantly entangled by the black qi and couldn’t escape any longer.

The darkness at the end of the sky was rapidly pressing over toward them, Liuyun cried out in anger, "Let’s go together, why are you holding us back?"

Ghost True Man laughed wildly, his laughter crazy beyond compare, "I’m burning my life force to destroy this piece of Heaven and Earth, isn’t it precisely to perish along with you all? Haha, even Heaven is helping me, the Secret Realm is actually shifting!"

"Haha, didn’t you want to kill me? Then die with me!"

Ghost True Man had clearly lost the will to live, or rather, he had given up on everything.

He had already burned his life force a moment ago, severing any hope of survival. Even if he now followed Lin Chen and the others to the safe zone, he wouldn’t be able to live on. Besides, even if he reached the safe zone, would Master Floating Cloud and the others let him leave alive?

Today’s hatred ends only in death!

If I cannot live, then none of you shall either!

Master Floating Cloud’s expression was as grim as water, and he summoned a flying sword, casually slashing it. A light flashed between Heaven and Earth as if space itself was split, and the black qi binding everyone was instantly severed.

However, Master Floating Cloud’s slashing was futile. Although Ghost True Man couldn’t handle the four of them, he was willing to spend his life just to hold them back for a while, and he was fully capable of doing that.

Master Floating Cloud’s sword light was like lightning, earth-shattering, continuously falling. Ghost True Man’s body of black qi was constantly being split, even his body was continuously damaged and shattered, but he laughed madly, recklessly, the waves of black qi, like great dragons, tightly entangled around the people.

The endless darkness swept in, instantly passing over the top of everyone’s heads, rolling toward the distance.

Everyone’s hearts sank with a thud. It’s over.

They were too late.

Endless darkness instantly enveloped the land, and the remnants of light in the distance were rapidly covered by the darkness, and at this point, the entire world between Heaven and Earth was completely shrouded in darkness.

"Hahahaha, you’re finished!"

Seeing that everyone had been completely held back and stopped completely in the darkness, Ghost True Man also gave up continuing to pull on everyone, as he was almost blasted to pieces by Master Floating Cloud and Liuyun’s nearly insane attacks just now.

Everyone’s mood was heavy, they could not have imagined that their luck would be so bad to just stumble upon this situation.

Xuanhe said with a wry smile, "What do we do now? It’s said that up to now, not a single Secret Realm that has been shifted has reappeared, and all the adventurers within have never been seen again..."

Master Floating Cloud said solemnly, "Don’t panic, at least this Secret Realm hasn’t shattered, so this isn’t the worst outcome. We’re all still alive, and our realms are sufficient, our lifespans long enough, there will always be opportunities!"

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, "Coming up, we don’t know what we’ll have to face. Everyone, go inside the tower first. I’ll use a clone to scout outside. Even if something happens, we’ll have a buffer..."

Master Floating Cloud inquired, "If something really does happen, can your tower take it?"

Things had gotten to this point, and Lin Chen no longer had anything to hide, replying, "An Innate Spiritual Treasure with an Artifact Spirit, its defensive power is extremely strong. Several Daluo Initial Immortals tried to kill me, but it blocked them all."

"Not that we’re relying on it to block everything, but at least it’ll provide us some time to plan," he continued.

Upon reflection, the people found his words to be without fault.

Who knew what they would have to face next?

Lin Chen summoned the Linglong Tower. As Master Floating Cloud glanced at the Ghost True Man, who was weak and at risk of dying, he suddenly extended his hand, and a rope flew out, binding the Ghost True Man tightly.

"We should bring him along; he might be of some use."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen brought everyone into the Linglong Tower and entered himself, then released a clone to wait quietly for any changes outside.

The place where the people were was naturally no longer the bottom of the abyss but the Main Hall at the mountain’s peak.

The outside was endless darkness, but inside the Linglong Tower, it was bright. This gave everyone a strange sense of wonder.

Qi Xi sat in the Main Hall with a smile.

Lin Chen greeted her, "Xi Jie, we’ve run into a big issue this time. We’re taking refuge here for a while..."

Lin Chen introduced her, "Master, this is my Xi Jie, who has saved me countless times along the way. Without her, I would’ve died."

Master Floating Cloud courteously paid his respects, "Fellow cultivator, apologies for the intrusion!"

The Artifact Spirit of an Innate Spiritual Treasure, in terms of age, certainly wouldn’t be any younger than Master Floating Cloud. Therefore, notwithstanding that Lin Chen was his disciple, Master Floating Cloud still expressed the due respect towards Qi Xi.

Qi Xi responded with a smile, "Please make yourselves comfortable, fellow cultivators."

With that, Qi Xi gracefully departed, leaving Lin Chen to attend to the guests.

The people stood at the edge of the Main Hall, gazing at the endless range of mountains, to which Master Floating Cloud exclaimed in surprise, "This tower actually forms a world unto itself..."

Xuanhe had a puzzled expression on his face. The last time he was rescued, the treatment wasn’t like this at all; they were confined at the bottom of a dark abyss.

Seeing his expression, Lin Chen coughed and said, "We weren’t familiar with each other before, so..."

Xuanhe hurriedly made a bowing gesture, "Martial Uncle, I understand."

The Ghost True Man was bound aside, watching the scene unfold with an extremely sullen mood.

This kid actually had an Innate Spiritual Treasure to protect him, no wonder he could block his attack that time.

If it wasn’t for his own greed, constantly fixated on this tower and sending his own disciple to kill Lin Chen and seize it, how would all this have ensued?

If his disciple hadn’t been captured, how would they have known he was in this Secret Realm recuperating?

With the vastness of Heaven and Earth, how could they find him while he hid in the shadows?

After much thought, he realized that all this stemmed from his own greed!

The Ghost True Man looked at the bright light surrounding him, and a bizarre thought suddenly arose in his heart.

Could these few people really have a way to safely survive this disaster?
