Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World - Chapter 359 - 177: It's very bleak inside, Chen Yi is very happy_2

He died in just ten days?

“Hehe, after the auction in Wangyue City, the direct female disciple of Tianning Palace who had left with Cheng Jian was raped and killed. Later Cheng Jian claimed it was the evil cultivator Jiang Hao who had attacked and murdered her.

But then, a rumor circulated that True Person Yang, the organizer of the auction and the head of the Yang Family Chamber of Commerce, had paid a high price to hire a third-tier diviner. Through the stains on the dead female disciple’s dress the diviner deduced that the murderer was likely someone close to the victim…”

Some Core Formation True Persons, recalling the rumor that had spread in their circles, now looked at True Person Fengqin with amused expressions.

Cheng Jian, may not have died to dangers inside the Secret Realm after all.

…..

In the corner of the peninsula, Chen Yi observed the expressions of these Core Formation True Persons and listened to their conversations, analyzing the casualty situation.

He was not worried about these human disasters. What Chen Yi was most concerned about was the Colorful Dragon Fish.

That thing seemed to possess reasonable intelligence. If it too had entered the Secret Realm, none of the Foundation Establishment cultivators that went in could probably stand against it.

If that creature manages to advance in there, becoming a third-tier Great Dragon Fish…

There could be a danger of all of the hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators inside being wiped out!

Sigh, the next time he sends someone into the Secret Realm to gather resources for him, he should collect the spirit stones when selling them the pills and Talisman Scrolls. He should then buy whatever he needs with spirit stones once they return.

If they die inside, it would just be a big loss…

In addition, given the dangers of the Secret Realm this time, True Person Qingming might have made an early prediction. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sold so many quotas.

Selling more quotas, spreads not only the rewards but also the risks.

Chen Yi kept a low profile during the following days, not selling any more Talisman Scrolls or pills. He had almost run out of the regular and low-level items,

He had to keep some of the top-quality ones in his possession, in case of emergencies on the way back.

For the next twenty days, Chen Yi hid and secluded himself inside a cave, occasionally coming out to observe the cultivators outside. He noted down any suspicious behavior so he could try to avoid them on the return trip.

…..

After twenty days,

True Person Qingming and True Person Jingjing exchanged glances. Once again, they returned over the basin and released their tokens.

The light beam shone down.

The bright film several hundred feet below from the basin reappeared.

Before the light film even stabilized completely, several cultivators rushed out from it,

Th𝖎𝗌 ₡h𝓪pƚєr 𝘪𝙨 p0𝐬ţ𝓮ḍ bʏ 𝗞𝙞𝓉ɛ𝓃𝗼𝐯𝘦𝙡

Their bodies were all stained with blood, some had lost limbs, some were carried on the backs of their comrades, apparently on the brink of death!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

All major sects and powerful Core Formation Cultivators hurriedly flew to the exit of the Secret Realm,

They quickly inspected the exiting cultivators. If they found any of their own, they immediately rushed over to perform healing spells, quickly asking them about the situation inside.

“Why only the two of you came out? Where is everyone else? Who killed Cheng Jian, what happened?”

True Person Fengqin was waiting early at the exit. Upon seeing only two disciples of Tianning Palace come out, she urgently inquired.

“Reporting Master! Elder Brother Cheng and several Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Tan Family discovered a Crystallisation Fruit. In the struggle to claim it, they were attacked by a three-colored Dragon Fish.

Elder Brother Cheng and the cultivators from the Tan Family suffered severe injuries. Just as they were about to run away,

They were suddenly ambushed by a late-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator of the Tan Family, and died instantly on the spot.”

“A late-stage Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator from the Tan Family?! True Person Tan, if you don’t provide me with an explanation today, tomorrow my Tianning Palace will declare war on your Wangyue Island!!”

On hearing this, True Person Fengqin angrily rebuked True Person Tan, who was not far away.

At this time, True Person Tan was also urgently inquiring about the situation of his disciples.

His losses were even more grievous, out of the seven who entered, only one had survived.

He hurriedly fed the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator an injury-healing pill and helped him regulate his mana.

The disciple spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and then only managed to cry out:

“Master! It is not as the disciples of Tianning Palace say.

It was the evil cultivator Ren Hen! He entered the Secret Realm and at some point killed my third junior brother, then disguised himself as third junior brother and hid amongst us.

When we, together with the disciples of Tianning Palace planned to obtain the Crystallization Fruit, we were ambushed by the three-colored Dragon Fish. As we tried to escape,

Ren Hen suddenly attacked from within us, first landing a heavy blow killing Cheng Jian of Tianning Palace,

Then injured several of our junior brothers and fled.

In the following few days, after the three-colored Dragon Fish advanced to the third-tier and became four-colored, many of our cultivators mistakenly entered its Mana Storm Domain.

In there, the power of a cultivator’s magic fell to less than one-tenth its usual potency, and only Body Cultivators could display their usual strength.

At that time, Ren Hen once again demonstrated the powerful strength of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, not only stealing the Crystallisation Fruit in the Mana Storm but also killing a few of my junior brothers one by one!”

As the Yang family disciple cried out his explanation, True Person Yang’s face got worse and worse!

“Ren Hen! Jiang Hao’s evil disciple, a true Body Cultivating genius who reached the body refining realm of the late-stage Foundation Establishment at only fifty years of age.

Not only did he infiltrate the Secret Realm, but he also caused havoc and harm to others inside?”

“Who else did Ren Hen kill? Why did so many of our disciples also die?” One True Person demanded further.

“Ren Hen only killed my disciples from the Yang family and Cheng Jian from Tianning Palace…”

“How are you so sure it was Ren Hen?” Another True Person probed.

“He used Jiang Hao’s unique Ancient Fist Skill. In the Mana Storm Domain of the Secret Realm’s Dragon Fish, his punches were extremely ruthless, almost killing one person with each punch. It was truly terrifying.

The comrades who survived all saw this, and they all can testify.”

Hearing these words, the exiting cultivators nodded in agreement, their faces showing fear.

Thankfully they were not disciples of the Yang family, otherwise, it would have been difficult to come out alive,
