Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Buzz!!

All the elders of the six sects stood on the plaza, their faces filled with nervousness.

After all, each time they entered the secret realm, many disciples would die or be injured.

A hunched old man from the Seven String Sect chuckled softly, "Why do you all look so worried?"

"Judging by the fluctuations, this secret realm isn't too intense, so there probably won't be any danger."

"I think… you're all a bit too nervous."

A one-eyed man in white robes from the Myriad Immortal Sword Sect sneered, "Heh, who doesn't know that the danger after entering the secret realm isn't the secret realm itself?"

"However… the six sects have already discussed this, and everyone is responsible for their own life and death in the secret realm."

"Don't let anyone get angry out of shame and become a laughingstock."

As he finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Shen Lan.

Shen Lan retorted with an icy expression, "Xu Zhe, are you implying something about the Great Xia Sword Sect?"

"I really don't know where you get the courage to talk to me like that!"

"If Li Nanting were here today, would you dare to say that?"

"If Li Nanting doesn't gouge out your other eye, I'll consider you lucky."

Xu Zhe's face twitched as he pointed at Shen Lan, but he didn't say another word.

The old man from Zhenyue Mountain frowned and scolded, "Alright! Stop arguing!"

"The exit of the Cloud Dream Immortal Palace has been open for so long, why haven't any disciples appeared yet?"

As soon as the old man said this, everyone frowned and their expressions changed.

This time was indeed much longer than usual. A full incense stick's time had passed, but why hadn't anyone come out?

An oppressive atmosphere gradually enveloped the plaza.

Suddenly!

Shen Lan suddenly said, "Someone is coming out!"

Buzz!!

As the flowing light of the rift space slightly distorted, three figures walked out looking rather disheveled.

Seeing Shen Qi being carried on someone's back, the elder of Zhenyue Mountain's expression changed drastically!

After checking his extremely serious injuries, he grabbed the three disciples and left through the air!

The others looked at each other, sensing that something was wrong!

"The disciples of Zhenyue Mountain are so strong, yet only three came back?"

"And…"

Xu Zhe didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant.

They weren't blind, they could see the several sword wounds on Shen Qi's body!

In other words, the two missing from Zhenyue Mountain were likely killed!

For a moment, everyone chose to remain silent.

After waiting for nearly half an incense stick's time, Li Guanqi and the others walked out, supporting each other.

Shen Lan flashed to their side, her expression suddenly changing!

"Why are there only four of you? Where's Ke Qin?"

Zhong Lin looked pained and said in a deep voice, "She's dead…"

As for why she died, Zhong Lin didn't say it here.

This was also what Li Guanqi had told them to do.

Everyone looked weak and exhausted. Forget about improving their cultivation, it was a miracle they were still alive.

At this moment, Li Guanqi inconspicuously grabbed Shen Lan's arm, his fingers digging hard into her flesh.

Shen Lan didn't even look at Li Guanqi, she turned to glare at the other sect elders, then scolded angrily.

"Hmph! Let's go!"

After speaking, she drew a flying sword and quickly flew towards the cloud boat with everyone.

After Shen Lan left, Xu Zhe and the old man from the Seven String Sect said gloatingly.

"Haha, the female disciple Shen Lan brought must be her newly accepted disciple this year, right?"

"Tsk, good riddance! Hahaha, that's so damn satisfying!"

The others all had their own thoughts, and they had some guesses about why the female cultivator from the Great Xia Sword Sect died.

It was probably the work of their disciples.

The man from the Myriad Immortal Sword Sect smiled calmly, "It seems that the disciples of our sects have gained the most this time."

"I just don't know which family will lose disciples."

The woman from the Purple Firmament Pavilion sneered, "Anyway, it won't be our Purple Firmament Pavilion's disciples."

"With those few people from the Great Xia Sword Sect, they must have been hiding in the secret realm to survive."

However, they waited for a long time, but no disciples from any sect came out.

Xu Zhe said with a forced laugh, "Ha… haha, it's okay, the troublesome people are gone, so of course they're going to search for more benefits inside."

"Isn't this a common occurrence? Don't panic."

Everyone nodded with a smile, after all, according to past experience, these were the victors searching for spoils of war.

However, just as the Great Xia Sword Sect and his group flew into the air, Li Guanqi urged softly: "Elder Shen, we can go faster! Leave immediately!"

Shen Lan was still immersed in Ke Qin's death. Hearing Li Guanqi's words, she couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Tell me, what exactly happened in the secret realm!"

Ye Feng was also extremely anxious at this time, so he could only say: "Elder Shen, let's talk about what happened inside when we get back!"

"Hurry up and leave!"

Seeing that Shen Lan still wanted to ask something, Li Guanqi had no choice but to say: "I killed everyone from the other four sects!"

These words shocked Shen Lan so much that her body swayed, and she almost couldn't stabilize her flying sword!

Her voice trembled slightly as she said: "Everyone? Killed them all?"

Seeing Li Guanqi nod, Shen Lan directly put away her flying sword and unleashed a wave of ice-blue Yuan energy!

Everyone saw a scene that made their hearts tremble.

They saw a pitch-black crack about ten feet wide torn open in the sky like a piece of cloth!

Without saying a word, Shen Lan waved her hand and set up a layer of ice-blue barrier, then led everyone into it!

Li Guanqi's heart stirred as he looked at the middle-aged woman beside him.

"Elder Shen is actually a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!!"

In an instant!

When everyone reappeared, they were already on the cloud boat of Zhenyue Mountain.

While controlling the cloud boat to fly away from Zhenyue Mountain, Shen Lan took out a jade slip and said in a deep voice: "Sect Leader, come and pick me up on the way!"

"Li Guanqi killed all the disciples of the four sects in the secret realm, I'm afraid they will join hands to stop me!!"

The cloud boat broke through the air at the fastest speed and plunged into the clouds.

Before Shen Lan could catch her breath, her expression froze slightly, and she took out an earthy yellow jade slip.

"Zhenyue Mountain owes the Great Xia Sword Sect a favor!"

"Shen Qi is the son of the Sect Leader!"

At this time, Li Guanqi also explained the whole story to Shen Lan in the simplest words.

After listening to everything, Shen Lan didn't blame Li Guanqi at all, but looked at him with a gratified expression.

"With such a disposition… why worry about not becoming great!"

Shen Lan said: "Don't worry, as long as we don't admit it."

"Besides… so what if we admit it! The four of them want to compete with the Great Xia Sword Sect, they are still too young!"

"Well done! If you are soft-hearted, what are you doing in this world of cultivation!"

"It's just Ke Qin… what a pity, I shouldn't have let her come… alas."

When the group reached the middle section, the Great Xia Sword Sect sent a total of five elders on cloud boats to meet them!

When Li Guanqi got up and saw the five cloud boats, he felt extremely at ease.
