"This way!"
As Lu Qing was walking, he suddenly changed direction, called out to everyone, and instead of walking through the mountains and forests, he turned towards a steep cliff.
"Senior, what is on this cliff?" Yun Ziyan asked in confusion, but still followed obediently.
Instead of taking the safe path cleared by others, he moved closer to the cliffs.
Not to mention Yun Ziyan, even the Yun family and the people in Ziguang Pavilion didn't understand it.
However, out of trust in Lu Qing, he still followed.
"Deacon Lu has a map of the secret realm in his hand. Could it be that he also has a map of the secret realm?"
Zhou Yu wanted to ask, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he kept silent.
Lu Qing walked to the edge of the cliff seriously and looked down. He couldn't see the bottom at all. It was pitch black and he didn't know what was down there.
After looking for a while, Lu Qing said to everyone, "The environment in the secret realm is such that the one who opened it up would not leave anything useless. This cliff is so deep, there must be something special underneath."
"That's well said. It makes sense." The deacon named Yang nodded in agreement.
The Yun family's Yuling realm cultivator also felt that what Lu Qing said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go down together.
"We can easily circulate our spiritual power and go down slowly, but they..."
Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Yun Ziyan and the Yun family guards.
Yun Ziyan has just broken through to the Sky Control Realm, and all the Yun family guards are also at the Sky Control Realm. If they circulate their true Qi, it will be difficult for them to hold on.
"If that's the case, just wait up there. The monsters here have been cleared out, so it should be safe enough."
Lu Qing looked at Yun Ziyan, pointed at the two Purple Light Pavilion disciples, and said, "Just in case, you stay and keep an eye on this place."
"yes!"
The two Purple Light Pavilion disciples had no objection and agreed immediately.
"In that case, I will stay too. Lao Chen, you go, I'll stay."
The Yun family's Yuling realm cultivators seemed to be a little worried, so they chose one person to follow Lu Qing and the others, and one to stay with Yun Ziyan.
Perhaps they are worried about the hidden dangers in the secret realm, or perhaps they are afraid of attacks from other forces.
"That's not necessary. Zi Yan is not that delicate."
Seeing that everyone was so worried about her, Yun Ziyan smiled and said, "This place has been cleaned up. I believe it will be very safe in the short term. Everyone, go ahead. I'll wait here."
"I'm not afraid of monsters, I'm worried about people."
Lu Qing shook his head and still felt that a few people needed to stay.
After all, in the secret realm, everything is unpredictable and you need to be wary of others.
Looking at Lu Qing and Yun Ziyan, Zhou Yu said, "Leave two of them here, and one person from the Yun family too. If anything unexpected happens, we will alert them, and it won't be too late to rescue us."
"Can… "
Yun Ziyan frowned and wanted to say something, but Zhou Yu waved his hand to stop her: "Just do as I say. If there is an accident, if we go down together, no one will be able to save us."
"Okay, in that case, I'll do as you say."
Yun Ziyan looked at Zhou Yu and finally nodded, agreeing to keep the three Yuling Realm monks.
"In that case, I'll go ahead and explore the way."
Lu Qing nodded, then flew into the air and slowly descended.
Zhou Yu and a group of cultivators immediately used their spiritual energy and jumped straight down. They punched out casually, blasting holes in the rocks on the cliff to slow down their descent.
…
On the other side, the gate to the secret realm has never been closed. There have always been monks guarding here, constantly burning incense and raising smoke to keep the gate to the secret realm visible.
Because outside the secret realm, there are still a steady stream of cultivators coming, all wanting to explore the secret realm.
Even the Demon Sect, the Yue Kingdom Royal Family, or other major forces did not dare to close the door to the secret realm rashly, for fear of being targeted by other forces and becoming the target of public criticism.
Suddenly, a faint smell of blood wafted from the platform at the top of the secret realm. One after another, monks in gray robes walked in. They lowered their heads so that their faces could not be seen clearly, and their bodies were still dripping with wetness.
"you… "
Dozens of monks who were originally guarding here were about to move forward, but suddenly stopped.
It’s not that they didn’t want to move, but they were restrained in an instant. A woman in a black robe with blood patterns walked in slowly.
Every step was like stepping on the heartstrings of the monks. Countless blood-colored threads flowed out from his body and then entangled every monk!
The blood-colored thread seemed to have the ability to imprison spiritual energy and blood, and contained a toxin that paralyzed the body. In an instant, it pierced all the monks on the platform at the top of the peak, making them unable to resist.
Whether it was the dull cultivator in the middle stage of the Yuling Realm holding a silver mace, or the woman in light green clothes, Xu Kuan from the Jiuxuan Sword Sect, they had no power to resist, let alone other cultivators.
Following the woman in black robe with blood patterns across the secret realm gate were thirteen monks in black robes. Their aura was far weaker than that of the woman in black robe with blood patterns, but they were all extremely terrifying to all the monks present.
"So...so scary...so scary...monks...what are these..."
With their bodies out of control and their minds in shock, the monks seemed to have even their thoughts frozen, and a thought flashed through their minds as they trembled.
The people in the Martial Hall ignored the monks who had fallen on the platform at the top of the mountain, and instead turned their eyes towards the various parts of the secret realm.
"All soldiers, listen up!"
The woman in the black robe with blood patterns suddenly turned around, looked at the gate to the secret realm behind her and the army of slave warriors that were continuously coming out, and gave a light shout.
Thirteen black-robed monks, including Qin Chen, all knelt on one knee and responded solemnly: "We obey your order!"
"Plunder the secret realm, leaving no one behind!"
The light words were uttered, and in return were the resounding and powerful responses from the thirteen black-robed monks.
"Your command!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thirteen black-robed monks leaped away, flying in the air, each choosing a direction to leave.
At the same time, on the platform at the top of the mountain, a large army of warrior slaves in grey robes followed the thirteen warriors and set out in a mighty force.
The army of martial slaves from the Martial Hall, led by the woman in black robe with blood patterns, soon swept through the entire secret realm with unstoppable force!
There were very few monks left near the gate to the secret realm, and they were simply unable to stop the army of martial slaves.
Even if there were cultivators in the Soul Control Realm who took action, they were no match for any of the thirteen warriors, and after a fierce battle, they were all killed.
More and more monks were noticed by the Wu Nu army, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
There were even cultivators who used special means to notify a group of martial arts masters who were continuously exploring deeper into the secret realm, and a large number of masters quickly turned back.
The bloody massacre is spreading!
