125: Chapter 125: Cornered at the Valley Entrance

"If Fellow Daoist Xiao and the others were here, our harvest would definitely be even greater…" he muttered. "I wonder how they are doing."

On the eighth day, most of what needed to be gathered in Wanling Valley had been harvested.

Yun Feiyang decided to leave.

Bringing his three Junior Brothers along, he came to the place where Xiao Yuan and the others had disappeared, intending to take one last look.

If he could find where Xiao Yuan and the others had gone, he could figure out a way to rescue them!

Just as he arrived here and before he could make a move…

Hum!

A wave of violent spatial fluctuations suddenly surged around them!

Yun Feiyang's expression changed drastically as he hurriedly retreated, staring vigilantly ahead.

In his horrified gaze, the Five Elements spiritual object Formation that should have disappeared actually appeared once again!

Five Elements light flowed, and the Core Formation spiritual object at the center of the Formation—the Five Elements Spirit Fruit—also manifested, emitting an alluring radiance!

"This… This is…" Yun Feiyang widened his eyes, momentarily unsure of what was happening.

The next second, a surge of wild joy welled up in his heart!

They were still alive!

This abnormal situation reminded him of the strange changes that occurred the day Xiao Yuan and the others disappeared!

Sure enough, the moment this thought popped into his mind, a dazzling light suddenly surged from the center of the Five Elements spiritual object Formation!

A black hole appeared out of thin air!

Immediately following, several figures flashed out from the black hole!

Yun Feiyang widened his eyes, looking at those familiar figures—

Xiao Yuan!

Lin Qingxue!

Su Ruotong!

Su Li!

Ye Qingcen!

And those two female Disciples from Jade Maiden Palace!

All seven of them had come out, not a single one missing!

"Fellow Daoist Xiao!" Yun Feiyang rushed over in pleasant surprise, grabbing Xiao Yuan by the shoulders. "You… You're okay?! That's wonderful! That's wonderful!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and patted his hand. "I've made Brother Yun worry."

Yun Feiyang's eyes turned red with excitement as he looked at Lin Qingxue. "Junior Sister, you're okay too! That's great!"

Lin Qingxue smiled slightly. "Senior Brother, I've made you worry."

Yun Feiyang nodded repeatedly. As his gaze swept across the group, he suddenly froze.

Xiao Yuan's aura… Why did it feel even more terrifying than before?

Although he couldn't see Xiao Yuan's specific cultivation Realm, he had a strong intuition—the current Xiao Yuan could kill him with a mere flick of his hand!

What shocked him even more was the aura of the six women!

Su Li, Ye Qingcen, and those two Jade Maiden Palace Disciples…

They had all reached Foundation Establishment! Even though they deliberately suppressed their cultivation, he could still sense it!

Furthermore, the four women's cultivation was actually on par with his! He was at the Peak Middle Stage Foundation Establishment!

In other words, in a mere eight days, not only had the four of them broken through to Foundation Establishment, but shortly after doing so, their cultivation had already caught up to his?!

Yun Feiyang swallowed hard and looked toward Su Ruotong and Lin Qingxue.

Then, he was completely dumbfounded. Even though they had also suppressed their cultivation, but…

Lin Qingxue's aura was more than a tier stronger than his! Although he couldn't see her exact Realm, it was definitely the Late Foundation Establishment Stage Peak, or perhaps even Peak Foundation Establishment!

Su Ruotong was only slightly weaker than Lin Qingxue, yet much stronger than him!

"This… This…" Yun Feiyang opened his mouth wide, momentarily not knowing what to say.

In eight days, what on earth had happened?

He vaguely had a guess in his heart—Xiao Yuan and the others must have had a monumental fortuitous encounter inside that black hole!

But Yun Feiyang was smart enough not to pry further.

In the cultivation world, who didn't have a few secrets?

"It's good that you're out, it's good that you're out." He suppressed the shock in his heart and revealed a sincere smile on his face.

After a pause, he pulled out a few Storage Pouches from his embrace and handed them to Xiao Yuan and the others.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, these are some resources I found in Wanling Valley. There are six or seven portions of Core Formation spiritual objects and more than a dozen portions of Foundation Establishment spiritual objects. Take a share as well."

Xiao Yuan and the six women were stunned.

Yun Feiyang continued, "If it weren't for you, we would have died long ago in Sharp Gold Valley. These resources were supposed to have a share for you anyway."

A wave of warmth washed over Xiao Yuan's heart.

This Senior Brother from the Tianjian Sect was truly an honest person! His gratitude could last for so long!

You had to know that other people would fight tooth and nail for a single portion of cultivation resources, yet he was actually willing to take them out and share!

But he still shook his head and pushed the Storage Pouches back.

"Brother Yun, I appreciate the kind intention. Keep these resources for yourselves."

The resources he had obtained now were countless times more than what Yun Feiyang had gotten; he was too embarrassed to fleece the other party's belongings anymore.

The guy was honest, so he couldn't be shameless, right? Besides, these resources weren't of much use to him anymore!

Yun Feiyang grew anxious. "How can this do? You didn't get anything…"

Xiao Yuan smiled and interrupted him, pointing at the newly reappeared Five Elements spiritual object Formation behind him.

"Who said we didn't get anything? The things inside that Five Elements spiritual object Formation belong to me."

Yun Feiyang froze, looking at the Formation emitting colorful light and the Five Elements Spirit Fruit at the center of the Formation, and suddenly understood.

Earlier, he had told Xiao Yuan that that belonged to him. He hadn't expected Xiao Yuan to keep his promise to this extent; moved in his heart, his admiration and closeness toward Xiao Yuan increased by a few points!

"This… This is too little…" Yun Feiyang still wanted to say something.

Xiao Yuan waved his hand. "Alright, alright, stop pushing things back and forth. Let's hurry and head out; the Secret Realm is about to close."

Yun Feiyang opened his mouth, ultimately not persisting further.

He put away the Storage Pouch and cupped his fists toward Xiao Yuan. "Fellow Daoist Xiao, such great kindness cannot be repaid with mere words. If there is any command in the future, this Yun will not refuse even death!"

Xiao Yuan smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Let's go."

The group left Wanling Valley, disappearing into the boundless thick fog.

…

At the Wanling Valley entrance, the fog gradually dispersed.

As Xiao Yuan and his group had just walked out of the valley and hadn't even had time to take a breath of fresh air, they were stunned by the sight before them.

Ahead lay a scene of utter devastation.

The ground was covered everywhere with traces of battle—sword marks, Spell craters, scorched earth, and shocking bloodstains.

What made the expressions of several of them change even more drastically was that not far from the valley entrance, a dense crowd of people sat cross-legged, numbering close to a hundred at least!

As for the more than twenty Qi Condensation Stage Disciples that the Tianjian Sect had left outside, half of them had already turned into cold corpses, neatly lined up in a row.

The remaining half were tied up with ropes and kneeling on the ground, each of them looking listless and covered in wounds.

"Junior Brother!" Yun Feiyang's eyes turned red, and he was about to rush over.

Xiao Yuan grabbed him by the arm. "Calm down!"

He glanced at that group of people and quickly analyzed the situation.

That group of people was divided into four factions…

On the left were people from the Yinluo Sect, about twenty of them, with thirteen Foundation Establishment Cultivators? Even though they were all at the Early Foundation Establishment, they were truly genuine Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

Beside them were Cultivators from Jing Country, also numbering a dozen or so, with ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

On the right were Xuanyin Hall and the Beast Taming Sect, with over twenty people each, and six Foundation Establishment Cultivators each!

Judging by their aura, these Foundation Establishment Cultivators should be experts above the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment who had suppressed their cultivation!

"This…" Yun Feiyang was also stunned. "Weren't the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Yinluo Sect and Jing Country all wiped out by you?!"
