Chapter 1577: Chapter 1573: The Shadow Lurking in the Depths!

Smelling this familiar scent, Ren Feifan’s face was filled with wild elation!

Truly, heaven does not disappoint the one who tries!

However, the scent had already become faint; if Ren Feifan was not mistaken, Xu Shihan must have been here about five hours ago!

Having finally found a clue, Ren Feifan certainly would not give up,

Even though the scent was weak, he could still trace Xu Shihan’s whereabouts by following certain smells.

Ren Feifan rode the giant tiger southward.

And the sky gradually darkened, the air filled with a scent that completely masked Xu Shihan’s.

Left with no choice, Ren Feifan could only spend the first night in the Secret Realm here.

Ren Feifan found a spot, gathered some twigs into a pile, then his finger shot out a stream of Nine Yang True Fire, igniting the twigs.

In an instant, a great fire blazed up, forming a towering bonfire that illuminated the entire jungle.

Strangely enough, the moon of the Secret Realm also rose at this moment, and its color was shockingly crimson!

Ren Feifan, watching the rise of that crimson moon, felt deeply unsettled.

Damn, isn’t this the Blood Moon that appears when I’m in a demonic state?

Except I have five on my arm.

As the Blood Moon appeared in the Secret Realm’s sky, Ren Feifan distinctly felt his body undergoing some kind of transformation. But this sensation quickly ceased.

Ren Feifan looked at his arm, his thoughts moving, trying to make the Blood Moon emerge, but no matter what he did, the power of the Blood Moon in his body did not appear!

It was as if it was suppressed!

Huh?

What the hell is this? Normally at this time, there would be five Blood Moons emerging on my arm. Why is there not even one now?

It’s as if it’s purposely hiding.

Ren Feifan didn’t think too much of it, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged; the giant tiger lay prostrate on the ground, eyes fiercely fixed on the surroundings!

Its mission was to protect the Little Sapling within Ren Feifan; not the slightest error could be tolerated!

The night deepened, and the Blood Moon above Ren Feifan’s head exuded streams of blood-evil energy that enveloped the entire Secret Realm, while Ren Feifan himself fell into heavy breathing!

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared behind Ren Feifan!

The dark figure, dressed in a Black Robe, had indiscernible eyes and face but exuded a chilling and deathly aura.

On the figure’s shoulder perched a completely black eagle!

The eagle’s eyes were acutely sharp and exuded a chilling intent.

The dark figure glanced at Ren Feifan, shook its head in resignation, and with a cold voice said, "I thought it was some expert. To think it’s just trash from the Wanxiang Realm. I really disdain to absorb such trash. Blood Falcon, consider this guy your prey."

The Blood Falcon’s eyes flashed brightly, and in an instant, it broke free from the dark figure’s shoulder, soared into the sky! Then with a swift descent, it dove straight towards the meditating Ren Feifan!

Just as the Blood Falcon was mere meters away from Ren Feifan, the giant tiger beside him sensed something, abruptly opened its eyes, and killing intent erupted!

"Roar!"

With a furious roar, the giant tiger pounced, heading directly over Ren Feifan’s head!

In the blink of an eye, the giant tiger grabbed the Blood Falcon in its jaws. The Blood Falcon, though powerful, couldn’t withstand the dominance of the giant tiger!

Without even a chance to struggle, it was swallowed whole by the giant tiger in one bite!

The dark figure’s face drastically changed, filled with rage!

The Blood Falcon had followed him for more than a decade and had formed a bond; now it was swallowed in one gulp by a Demon Tiger!

How could he not be furious!

The next second, it extended its claw, aiming straight for the giant tiger’s neck!

"Beast! Spit out my Blood Falcon!"

The commotion naturally woke Ren Feifan, who abruptly opened his eyes—his pupils shimmering like stars in the night!

Then, he fiercely grabbed the Ancient Dust Sword and slashed it directly at the shadowy figure!

In the blink of an eye, the Ancient Dust Sword struck the shadow!

Strangely, the shadow was bisected in an instant, only to then abruptly restore itself to wholeness, and a claw struck Ren Feifan’s chest!

Ren Feifan was taken aback, hastily retreating while flipping the Ancient Dust Sword, positioning it in front of him!

The shadow’s claws struck sparks off the Ancient Dust Sword!

Right at that moment, the giant tiger pounced forward, biting into the shadow’s body!

But it was like biting into a mass of black mist!

It couldn’t harm the opponent at all!

The shadow let out a cold laugh, murderous intent erupted, he wanted both man and tiger to die miserably!

It was then that a rush of frantic footsteps sounded! Someone was coming!

The shadow hesitated for several seconds, and for some reason, it chose to flee towards the north!

"Ran away?"

Ren Feifan frowned, sensing something was off—it was clear that neither the giant tiger nor he could handle this guy!

Why would the opponent choose to flee now? That doesn’t make sense!

Ren Feifan and the giant tiger exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion!

At this moment, three oddly-dressed old men hastened towards them!

Upon seeing Ren Feifan and the giant tiger, they let out a light ’eh’.

"Are you also a contestant who entered this time? Why is your cultivation level so low?"

"So many years have passed, and the quality of those who enter is declining with each batch—it’s no wonder so many people have died!"

"By the way, kid, have you seen someone wearing a Black Robe?"

One of the elderly men in the middle uttered three sentences consecutively, all dripping with an air of superiority. He seemed quite disdainful of Ren Feifan.

Ren Feifan’s expression turned somewhat dark, and a hint of chill gleamed in his eyes.

He really couldn’t figure out why everyone felt the need to criticize his cultivation level upon meeting him.

Does cultivation level represent everything?

It seems the best way to resolve this trouble is to find a place to break through to the Transcendence Realm!

The old man’s eyes were icy as he questioned, "Kid, I’m talking to you, do you believe I can prevent your exit through the Hidden Gate?"

Ren Feifan clearly noticed from the conversation that the other party seemed to have always lived in these Secret Realms and was also looking for news about that shadow!

Another point was that many of the cultivators who entered the Secret Realms had died!

Suddenly, Ren Feifan raised his head, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: "I’m not opposed to sharing this information, but first, you have to answer a question of mine."

The old man in the middle was instantly infuriated! "You brat, daring to negotiate terms with me! Are you seeking death!"

After cursing, the middle old man’s True Qi circled as he prepared to make a move, but suddenly another old man with a kind face next to him held him back.

The benevolent elder advised, "Why are you squabbling with a Wanxiang Realm kid? There’s no time to waste. If that guy kills all the contestants, let’s see how you’ll handle the aftermath!"

After speaking, the benevolent elder said to Ren Feifan, "Kid, ask your question."

Ren Feifan did not hesitate and directly took out a picture of Xu Shihan, asking, "Have you seen this person?"

The old man glanced at it, paused for a few seconds, then nodded.

"I have seen her."
