90: Chapter 90 The Secret Realm of the Sand Sea

One month later.

Shahai Secret Realm.

Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu drove the spiritual boat, swiftly passing through a sea of clouds. After a month, he arrived at the center of a desolate desert.

This place was located on the edge of the Southern Wilderness, far away from Chiyun Valley. Coupled with the attacks of many blind flying Yao Beasts along the way, even with Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu driving the spiritual boat, it took a full month to rush to Shahai Secret Realm.

At this time, within Shahai Secret Realm, the people from the other Four Great Sects had already arrived one after another.

The spiritual boat parked steadily in the high altitude.

Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu brought a group of Golden Core Elders of Chiyun Valley and the Foundation Establishment Disciples participating in entering the Secret Realm, rapidly descending from high altitude.

"Old Thief Gongsun, you really took your sweet time coming!"

As soon as Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu landed, a deep and booming voice rang out.

The speaker was a Golden Core Peak Realm powerhouse with red hair and a terrifying, scorching Aura emitting from his entire body.

This person was Li Yan, the Sect Leader of Lihuo Sect.

When Li Yan, the Sect Leader of Lihuo Sect, was young, he once had some disputes with Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, and they fought fiercely to seize an Opportunity. Their relationship had always been in a subtle state.

Looking at Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, Li Yan smiled half-heartedly and said, "We arrived several days ago. Those who know you know your temperament is slow, but those who don't would think your Chiyun Valley encountered a Yao Beast attack on the way and was completely wiped out."

Hearing Li Yan's sarcastic remarks, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu immediately sneered and said, "There's no need to trouble Sect Leader Li to worry about that. I was just discussing earlier that Sect Leader Li's strength is not actually that strong. If he were leading the team, wouldn't it be a pity for those prodigies of Lihuo Sect? If by any chance they encounter a fierce Yao Beast attack along the way and Sect Leader Li is unable to resist, what should he do? Could it be that he would abandon the prodigies of his School and run away alone? Just like five hundred years ago..."

"Old Thief Gongsun sure has a sharp tongue, and you remember past events quite clearly. However, you are only fit to live inside this single matter for the rest of your life."

Hearing Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu bring up that matter from five hundred years ago, Li Yan's expression instantly darkened.

Five hundred years ago, he was still a Cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He had also entered this Shahai Secret Realm back then.

Inside Shahai Secret Realm, because of an Opportunity, a conflict broke out between the people of his Lihuo Sect and the people of Chiyun Valley.

During this conflict, he happened to be matched against Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu.

At that time, because he had just entered Foundation Establishment not long ago and his Foundation was still unstable, he was beaten back step by step by Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu.

And this Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu was extremely ruthless; every time he struck, he aimed straight for a fatal blow.

In order to survive, he had to use an escape treasure to abandon his fellow sect members and flee far away from the place of conflict, which was why he had always been criticized by others.

But after years of hard cultivation, coupled with the fact that he had long reached the Golden Core Peak and become the Sect Leader of Lihuo Sect, basically no one dared to bring up this matter anymore.

Now Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu actually dared to bring up the past again, clinging to these trivial old matters and using them to mock him, which inevitably made Li Yan furious.

"Hahaha, originally I hadn't thought of it either, but just seeing Sect Leader Li's Face makes me recall how wretched you were back then, and how you abandoned your fellow sect members. I never expected that after so many years, that coward who fled from battle back then would actually manage to dress up like a human and become the Sect Leader of Lihuo Sect. I truly don't know which eye the previous Sect Leader of Lihuo Sect blinded to take a fancy to you."

Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu laughed loudly, giving Li Yan no Face at all, directly mocking him to his Face.

Originally, along the way here, Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu's mood had been quite good. Who would have thought that as soon as he landed, this Li Yan would come over looking to be scolded.

Facing such a shameless person, how could he not satisfy Li Yan's small request?

"Say that again, you motherfucker! Five hundred years ago was five hundred years ago. Back then, you took advantage of breaking through to Foundation Establishment earlier than me. Things are different now. Do you want you and me to spar with each other? I want to see how much growth you old thief has made over these years!"

Being directly hit in the Face by Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu, Li Yan, who already had a fiery temper, directly cursed out loud. His Aura was menacingly fierce, and he wanted to fight Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu to the death.

"Alright, alright, we are all the leaders of the various Schools; there is no need to harm the harmony of our Schools just for a moment of verbal sharpness."

Daoist Changchun, the Sect Leader of Qingmu Sect, seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming more and more wrong, hurriedly stepped out with a smile to act as a peacemaker.

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Gongsun, the two of you should say a little less. So many Disciples are watching. Arguing like this now will only needlessly lose your own dignity."

Zhao Yuanzheng, the Sect Leader of Shangyang Sect, also spoke up from the side.

In his heart, he wished nothing more than for Li Yan and Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu to start fighting. The more intense the fight, the better, and best of all if the two Schools went to war directly.

But the current situation was special; the Secret Realm would open before long.

And opening this Secret Realm required the joint tokens of the Five Great Sects. If the two of them fought now, it would be bad if they missed the golden Opportunity to enter Shahai Secret Realm.

As for Sect Master Liu Bingbing of Shuiyue Sect on the side, she watched coldly from the sidelines without uttering a single word, though a trace of disdain and mockery flickered in her eyes.

Obviously, she really looked down upon Li Yan and Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu who were arguing.

She only felt that the two of them had lived to such an old age for nothing. Clearly they were both Golden Core Peak Realm powerhouses, and clearly they were both masters of regional forces, yet they acted like children. It simply made her too disappointed.

Within the crowd, Lin Shen looked at the quarrel between Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu and Li Yan, feeling somewhat surprised and incredulous.

No way.

Is this the Golden Core Peak Realm?

Aren't people supposed to get more mature the older they get?

Why does their Heart-Nature look even worse than his own?

If it were him, he would never indulge in a moment of verbal sharpness. Once he decided to make a move in his heart, he would do it silently without arguing back and forth at all.

If there were concerns due to various entangled interests, he wouldn't argue Face to Face either. He would only secretly remember it in his heart, wait for the right Opportunity, and then make them pay a heavy price.

Within the crowd, Lin Shen looked at Valley Master Gongsun Buxiu and Li Yan, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.

Because this did not match his fantasies about those Golden Core powerhouses.

In the direction of Lihuo Sect, Sun Liancheng's gaze also looked towards Lin Shen's side.

Over the past few years, Sun Liancheng's life had not been very good, and he was even somewhat frightened.

The main reason was because Li Yifan had escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the Qin Family's people.

When he heard this news back then, he couldn't care about traveling outside anymore. To prevent Li Yifan from finding out that he was the informant, he hurried back to Lihuo Sect without stopping.

Living in fear day after day, in order to improve his strength, Sun Liancheng couldn't care about accumulating his Foundation and could only rashly make a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

This inevitably filled Sun Liancheng with remorse; he shouldn't have exposed Li Yifan back then.

At the same time, he was also furious at the group of good-for-nothings from the Qin Family. Li Yifan, who was merely in the Qi Refining Realm, had actually been able to escape under the siege of numerous Foundation Establishment powerhouses of the Qin Family.
