131: Chapter 131: Chen Yin Causes Trouble

Xiao Yuan only felt his vision blur, and by the time he came to his senses, he was already standing at the campsite outside the Secret Realm.

Familiar sky, familiar air, and a familiar sea of people.

The camps of various Sects remained the same, except that there were far fewer people waiting than before.

Those Disciples who failed to come out remained in the Secret Realm forever.

Every Sect had a registration desk, with specialized Disciples responsible for receiving the gains handed over by Cultivators coming out of the Secret Realm.

Those recruited Loose Cultivators were watched even more closely—they had to hand over a sufficient share of resources before they could get that foundation establishment pill traded with their lives.

Xiao Yuan glanced around, feeling inwardly vigilant.

Over at the camp of the Yinluo Sect, only a sparse dozen or so people were left.

Those Disciples who came out looked disheveled and dejected as they lined up for registration.

The expressions of the several deacons responsible for receiving were livid, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the losses this time.

Jing Country's side was not much better off; the twenty-odd people looked listless, like eggplants beaten by frost.

Xiao Yuan withdrew his gaze and said to Yun Feiyang beside him, "Brother Yun, thank you for your care this time. The quota I used to enter the Secret Realm belongs to the Tianjian Sect, so I must hand over something."

He took out a Storage Pouch from his bosom and handed it to Yun Feiyang, "These resources are considered my submitted share."

Yun Feiyang was stunned and hurriedly declined, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, what are you doing? If not for you, whether we could come out alive would be a question. With my identity, I can still call the shots to exempt you from this submission."

Xiao Yuan smiled and insisted on stuffing the Storage Pouch into his hands, "Business is business. Take it, don't put me in a difficult position."

Yun Feiyang took the Storage Pouch, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he was completely dumbfounded.

Neatly stacked inside were over a dozen millennia-old Spirit Medicines, along with some centuries-old Spirit Medicines, of immense value!

Handing over this share definitely counted as top-tier.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this..."

He didn't expect Xiao Yuan to be so polite and so considerate of him.

Xiao Yuan waved his hand, "I won't say any superfluous words; let us meet again sometime."

Yun Feiyang took a deep breath, cupped his fists solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, the two foundation establishment pills promised to you, as soon as I collect them from the Sect, I will personally send them to you."

Xiao Yuan smiled and didn't speak.

foundation establishment pill? He really didn't need it right now.

Two celestial-grade foundation establishment pills were still lying inside his Creation Cauldron Space.

At this time, Lin Qingxue walked forward, looking at Xiao Yuan with eyes full of reluctance.

"Senior Brother Xiao... I will come look for you."

She already had marital relations with Xiao Yuan; although, for those cultivating immortality, such a matter really wasn't much.

But... Xiao Yuan was her first man after all. Given her current cultivation and vision, this emotion was very difficult to easily cut off!

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Take care."

His heart was also somewhat complicated, but the other party was a Disciple of the Tianjian Sect, and whether they could meet again in the future was uncertain.

Although there was likewise some reluctance, there is no banquet in the world that never ends!

Lin Qingxue bit her lip and followed Yun Feiyang and the others toward the Tianjian Sect camp.

After walking a few steps, she turned back to look once more.

Yun Feiyang saw this in his eyes, and thoughts stirred in his heart.

Junior Sister's attitude toward Xiao Yuan... isn't quite right, is it?

But on second thought, Xiao Yuan was strong in strength and good in character; if something really happened between him and Junior Sister, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

He shook his head and left with the Junior Brothers.

Xiao Yuan turned around and looked at Su Ruotong and the others.

"Let's go, back to the Jade Maiden Palace side."

Now, he no longer needed to hide things; returning to the Sect together with the Jade Maiden Palace was the best choice!

After all, if he acted alone, it would be dangerous if he were besieged and ambushed by Golden Core experts of other forces!

The group walked toward the Jade Maiden Palace camp.

At the entrance of the camp, Chen Yin was standing in the crowd, staring coldly at Xiao Yuan.

A sneer hung at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with playfulness and killing intent.

Xiao Yuan seemed to sense something, slightly turned his head, and glanced at him.

Their gazes intersected.

The sneer at the corner of Chen Yin's mouth deepened, as if saying, "Brat, just wait."

A trace of mockery flashed across Xiao Yuan's eyes, then he averted his gaze, too lazy to bother.

A good-for-nothing who just freeloaded his way in relying on his grandfather, did he even deserve a second look from him?

What he cared about more right now was the reaction of the other major forces.

The Yinluo Sect and Jing Country suffered the most heavy losses this time. All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators who went in died, and the few newly-established Foundation Establishment ones who came out were simply not enough to look at.

Would they let the matter rest?

Even if life and death were disregarded in the Secret Realm, who knew if they would retaliate?

Xiao Yuan narrowed his eyes, secretly calculating in his heart.

No matter what, soldiers will be blocked by generals, water will be blocked by earth.

With his current Early Foundation Establishment strength, he wasn't afraid of hard-clashing with an Early Golden Core stage.

If someone really lacked discernment, he wouldn't mind exposing his strength and killing a few more.

As for the opponent's Golden Core Cultivators, if they stepped out, he believed the Golden Core Elders of the Jade Maiden Palace wouldn't just sit by and do nothing.

If they really sat by and did nothing, then Xiao Yuan would only be able to use the Blood Spirit Evasion secret technique and run away!

Xiao Yuan had just walked to the edge of the Jade Maiden Palace camp, and was preparing to find an inconspicuous corner to stay in and wait for Ruotong and the others to finish turning in their tasks and come out.

With Su Ruotong negotiating, the Disciples of the Jade Maiden Palace responsible for registration did not make things difficult for Xiao Yuan!

As a result, before his feet were even steady, a sharp voice came from behind, "Stop right there!"

Xiao Yuan frowned and turned around.

Chen Yin was walking over in big strides with a smug sneer on his face. Behind him followed a few Jade Maiden Palace Disciples, each staring at Xiao Yuan with unkind eyes.

"Yo, Senior Brother Chen, something the matter?" Xiao Yuan asked lazily.

Chen Yin walked up in front of him, looked him up and down, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth deepened.

"Xiao Yuan, you outer Sect good-for-nothing, what qualifications do you have to stand here?"

Xiao Yuan raised an eyebrow, "What, the Jade Maiden Palace camp doesn't even allow people to stand?"

"Cut the act!" Chen Yin sneered, "I ask you, when you entered the Secret Realm this time, which Sect's identity did you use?"

Xiao Yuan's heart stirred, but his face remained expressionless, "What business is it of yours which Sect's identity I used?"

What Chen Yin was waiting for was precisely these words.

He turned around abruptly, cupped his fists and bowed toward the depths of the camp, raising his voice by an octave:

"Reporting to the Elder! Disciple Chen Yin has an important matter to report!"

Inside the camp, a cold yet pleasant voice sounded:

"What is it?"

As soon as the voice fell, a white figure drifted out from the depths of the camp.

That was a female Cultivator who looked to be in her twenties, dressed in white, with an ethereal temperament, an exquisitely clear and beautiful face, and a hint of faint gentleness between her brows.

The aura around her was restrained, yet it faintly exuded the coercion of the Peak Mid Golden Core Stage.

Dan Peak Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace—Yun Qingwan.

Ruotong's Master, and a close friend of the Dan Peak Master. She was also the team-leading Elder of the Jade Maiden Palace this time!

Don't look at how she appears to be in her twenties right now; her true age was probably far beyond that!

Seeing her, a flash of joy crossed Chen Yin's eyes, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Elder Yun, this Disciple reports Xiao Yuan for betraying the Sect! He entered the Secret Realm in the identity of a Loose Cultivator of the Tianjian Sect, acted privately, and showed no regard for Sect rules!"

Although Xiao Yuan hadn't said which Sect he entered the Secret Realm with, seeing Xiao Yuan mixed together with the people of the Tianjian Sect, he concluded that Xiao Yuan had used the Tianjian Sect's quota!

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately erupted in an uproar.
