130: Cooperation and intrigue, the teleportation array is destroyed.

Seeing Mo Xiuran unleash his ultimate move, the experts present showed satisfied smiles.

In their view, even they would be unable to withstand Mo Xiuran's strike.

Seeing a terrifying palm print condensing in Mo Xiuran's palm,

Then... his head flew high into the air!

His head and body were instantly separated.

Bright red blood gushed out.

Mo Xiuran's head fell heavily to the ground, rolling several times before stopping.

Only, the look in his eyes before death was one of shock, as if he had a thousand words to say, yet he could only die with his eyes wide open in regret!

A thick smell of blood instantly permeated the entire meadow.

Li Yi cast a faint glance at Mo Xiuran's corpse, then looked up at the crowd in mid-air.

Silence, a deathly silence.

Who could have imagined that a discarded cripple could instantly kill Mo Xiuran, a Cultivator at the Great Perfection of Core Formation!

As experts of the Three Great Sects, they knew very well that to instantly kill Mo Xiuran, Li Yi's cultivation... "Attack together, we must not let him destroy our Legacy!" Hua Lingfei, an Inner Sect Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, spoke with a firm attitude.

In his view, although Li Yi had been crippled, the other party's growth speed was simply too fast; even as a Core Formation Great Perfection Cultivator himself, he might not be Li Yi's match.

Zhang Shun, the Vice Peak Master of the Chilian Sect, glanced at Qiu Lingfeng, the Vice Peak Master of the Dao Yun Sect. He wanted to know what this guy was thinking, after all, Qiu Lingfeng and Li Yi were mortal enemies!

Qiu Lingfeng didn't look at anyone. He knew very well that if he chose to flee now, the Alliance of the Three Great Sects would end right here.

However, at this moment, he really didn't dare to test Li Yi. After all, the other party had killed Mo Xiuran in an instant. Such terrifying strength was clearly above his own.

As for any hatred—what a joke. Over fifty years had passed, and no one was a fool now. In the face of interests, any hatred could be set aside.

Seeing everyone unmoved, Hua Lingfei shouted angrily, "Zhang Shun, Qiu Lingfeng, do you two intend to avoid the battle?"

"Hua Lingfei, those words aren't right. The one who died was a Dao Cloud Sect Elder; it's only right that Qiu Lingfeng makes the decision," Zhang Shun said with a smile.

Qiu Lingfeng's eyes flickered, and he finally let out a cold laugh. "Why is Elder Hua in such a hurry? Li Yi won't be able to escape today even if he grew wings."

The twelve "Soul-Locking Nails" hidden in his sleeve were already quietly gathering power, but on the surface, he took a half-step back, intentionally letting the people from the Fire Cloud Sect lead the charge.

Zhang Shun was even more of an old fox. He feigned a cough and said, "I suffered some injuries while fighting that Sea Clan member just now... I'll adjust my breathing for a moment." As he spoke, he actually sat down cross-legged, clearly intending to observe the situation.

Hua Lingfei trembled with rage. "You..."

Before he could finish, Li Yi suddenly flicked his finger like a sword.

"Zheng!"

A strand of Sword Qi swept past Hua Lingfei's ear, cutting off half a lock of his hair.

"The test has been made, it's just that his luck was bad and I killed him directly," Li Yi's expression was indifferent. "If you want to fight, then fight. Don't talk so much nonsense. If you won't fight, then get lost. Don't get in my way."

This contemptuous attitude completely enraged Hua Lingfei. He let out a violent roar, and the Burning Heaven Mirror blazed with overwhelming flames!

But just at the moment he was about to strike, Hua Lingfei suddenly appeared behind his back.

"Puchi!"

A bronze short sword suddenly pierced through his Dantian from behind!

Hua Lingfei looked back in disbelief, seeing Zhang Shun's cold, smiling face. "Elder Hua, my apologies... better you die than I."

"You..."

"Puchi!"

Zhang Shun pulled out the bronze short sword and cupped his fists toward Li Yi with a smile. "Fellow Daoist Li, hatred is a joke in the face of profit. How about we cooperate?"

Li Yi raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Zhang Shun to be such an interesting character, willing to kill Hua Lingfei directly for the sake of profit.

He spoke indifferently, "Oh? What does Vice Peak Master Zhang mean by this?"

The smile on Zhang Shun's face deepened. He casually tossed the blood-stained bronze short sword aside and took out a Jade Slip shimmering with a faint blue light from his sleeve:

"Fellow Daoist Li, to tell you the truth..."

He lowered his voice, greed flickering in his eyes:

"The true secret of this Secret Realm isn't some Magic Treasure or Spirit Medicine, but the 'Secret of Eternal Life' Legacy of the Ancient Sea Clan!"

The Jade Slip unfurled, projecting an ancient map. In the center of the first layer island, a blood-colored altar was clearly marked!

"As long as we collect three 'sea god tokens,' we can open the altar and obtain the secret Legacy technique for immortality!"

Hearing this, Qiu Lingfeng's expression changed drastically. "Zhang Shun! You dare betray the Alliance?!"

Zhang Shun sneered. "Alliance? From the moment you lot shrunk back, the Alliance ceased to exist."

As he spoke, Zhang Shun pointed at the dead Hua Lingfei. "Coincidentally, Hua Lingfei had one, and my Chilian Sect has one..."

"As for this third one..."

He looked meaningfully at Qiu Lingfeng, his meaning couldn't be clearer.

Qiu Lingfeng's face paled as he shouted sternly, "Zhang Shun! You're playing with fire!"

Before he could finish, Li Yi suddenly laughed. "Interesting!"

With a flick of his sword tip, Hua Lingfei's Storage Pouch flew into the air, and a deep blue token fell into his palm. It was the first "sea god token"!

Others might not be clear about this "secret technique for immortality" Legacy, but Li Yi knew it inside out.

This was no secret technique for immortality!

It was clearly a trap set by the Sea Clan!

Although he wasn't sure what this game was for, he had clearly discovered something different upon entering the Secret Realm this time.

Li Yi toyed with the sea god token in his hand, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. "Vice Peak Master Zhang, are you sure you want this 'Secret of Eternal Life'?"

He lightly flicked the token, which emitted an eerie hum. Faintly, amidst the sound of ocean tides coming from within... one could hear the sounds of countless agonized wails.

Zhang Shun hadn't noticed anything unusual yet and was full of eagerness. "Of course! As long as Fellow Daoist Li is willing to cooperate, I guarantee I won't touch your share!"

Hearing this, Li Yi gave an eerie smile. He decided to go and take a look first; after all, some things required the truth.

"Lead the way." Li Yi looked at Zhang Shun with a half-smile. "But Vice Peak Master Zhang, remember this: those who dare to plot against me don't usually end up well!"

"Hahaha, rest assured, Fellow Daoist Li. I, Zhang Shun, am a man of principle!"

Zhang Shun laughed and patted his chest in guarantee, but a trace of malice flashed in his eyes as he turned to lead the way.

The three of them, each with their own hidden motives, flew toward the teleportation entrance to the second layer island of the Secret Realm.

Behind them, the group of Elders and experts from various Sects looked at each other and followed the three toward the second layer.

"Buzz..."

The teleportation Formation glowed brightly, and Li Yi, the other two, and the various Sect Elders vanished instantly.

Not long after they left, Jiang Yan and Heartless sneakily emerged from the third-layer teleportation gate.

"Holy crap, what kind of massive battle happened here!" Jiang Yan exclaimed.

"Amitabha." Heartless pressed his palms together. "It seems we missed this exciting battle."

Seeing the ground covered in the corpses of Sea Clan members and human Cultivators, the two looked at each other and then nimbly began to loot the battlefield.

"Tsk tsk, the 'Burning Heaven Mirror' of Chilian Mountain, good stuff!" Jiang Yan happily put away Hua Lingfei's belongings.

Heartless skillfully stripped the storage rings from the other surrounding Sect Elders. Suddenly, his brow furrowed. "Benefactor Jiang, look at this..."

Heartless took out an intact Image Recording Stone and quickly displayed the battle that had broken out on the third layer.

"Holy crap, Revered Master?!" Jiang Yan shouted in shock.

"Amitabha. Benefactor Jiang's Revered Master is indeed formidable. He truly lives up to his reputation as the number one Prodigy from fifty years ago, Li Three Essentials!" Heartless praised.

"Huh?" Jiang Yan looked at Heartless in confusion. "Aren't you from the same era as my Revered Master?"

"Benefactor Jiang, those words are a bit insulting." Heartless looked aggrieved. "This humble monk is only 28 years old this year. We are the ones from the same era."

"Holy crap!"

Jiang Yan looked shocked. He had always viewed Heartless as someone from his Revered Master's era. After all, how could there be such a young Buddha Son!

In his view, the wanderers of the Qingyun Sect were all people of Martial Uncle Murong's age, and his Revered Master had also been a wanderer back then... He couldn't help but complain in his heart: 'Cultivation really is damn misleading; you can't tell ages at all!'

But then he thought about it, and his eyes widened. He had thought he could become the Prodigy of this era, but seeing Heartless's strength, he felt... he was probably just the guy holding the flag next to the Prodigy.

While Jiang Yan was lost in thought, Heartless suddenly said in shock, "Not good, they went to the second layer!"

The two looked at each other and simultaneously looked toward the teleportation Formation.

"Revered Master/Senior Li is in danger!"

Not caring to continue looting the bodies, they immediately rushed toward the teleportation Formation. But just as they stepped into the Formation, Heartless suddenly pulled Jiang Yan back:

"Wait! This Formation has been tampered with!"
