93: A storm is brewing! Retribution is coming!
"Saint, you are truly, truly incredible!"
The few of them looked at Chen Yi, their eyes filled with fervent admiration.
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm too powerful; it's that the enemies are too weak! The Demonic Path's number one Prodigy? The strongest below the Celestial Human Realm? Nothing more than that!"
If they had heard such words before, they would have thought Chen Yi was a bit too arrogant.
But now, they nodded repeatedly.
Right, right, right.
Everything the Saint says is correct!
"Oh, right, Saint, I have a sword here to give to you!"
Yu Ling'er took out the treasure she had acquired.
It was a slender sword, looking like a style specifically for female immortals.
Chen Yi glanced at it and then said, "This sword is so thin, you should keep it for yourself."
"This, this is a top-tier Profound Weapon!"
"Perfect, your strength is so weak; with this sword, you can greatly improve yourself."
Chen Yi said.
Yu Ling'er: "... ... ... ..."
It was true that she admired him.
But his mouth was indeed venomous.
He would always attack people!
Next, Sword Dust and the others moved together with Chen Yi.
With Chen Yi present, various treasures within this Secret Realm were practically theirs for the taking; there was nothing Chen Yi couldn't obtain.
After all, below the Celestial Human Realm, Chen Yi alone could sweep through everything, unrivaled!
After his phenomenon was activated, he could even slay Celestial Humans!
Everyone even suspected if he had hidden his Realm, otherwise how could he be so terrifying?
But this Secret Realm only allowed Martial Artists below the Celestial Human Realm to enter; this point was beyond doubt.
And just as Chen Yi and the others were plundering the Secret Realm's treasures.
Outside.
Within the Qingyun Holy Land, there was a Life Fire Pavilion!
Here, there were thousands of candles, each representing an important figure of the Qingyun Holy Land!
And now, the thousands of candles were arranged into nine layers!
The higher the layer, the more distinguished the person's status in the Qingyun Holy Land.
Currently, among the dozens of candles on the top layer, two had extinguished!
The Elder watching the life fires saw this scene, his face drastically changed, and then he went to check, gasping, "The life fire extinguished, the person died! Sequence Disciple Gu Changhe, and Gu Feiyu... dead!!"
Every Sequence Disciple was a future pillar of the Qingyun Holy Land, immensely important.
And a Prodigy like Gu Feiyu, who was known as the strongest below the Celestial Human Realm, was even more significant.
Everyone practically regarded him as the future Supreme of the Qingyun Holy Land!
But now, he was dead!
How could the Elder not be shocked?!
He immediately reported this matter to the Qingyun Holy Master!
The Qingyun Holy Master's face also darkened upon hearing this, and he said coldly, "Gu Feiyu and Gu Changhe went to the Slanting Moon Seven Stars Secret Realm this time, and they must have died within the Secret Realm. Among the younger generation, there are few who could kill them. If we investigate, we can still find out. Send a message to the Grand Elder, tell him to bring the culprit back to me, or... kill them on the spot!!"
"Yes!"
...
Outside the Slanting Moon Seven Stars Secret Realm.
Some powerful individuals who couldn't enter were waiting outside.
These people were basically Elders from various Schools, all waiting for their Prodigies to return triumphantly from the Secret Realm!
But then, one of the Celestial Human Realm Elders received a message, picked up a Jade Slip to check it, and then his expression slightly changed, "What?! The Saint of my School is dead?!"
"This, how is this possible?"
"Who did it?!"
He flew into a rage.
Everyone looked at him with pity, while some were gloating, "Heh, exploring Secret Realms, there's bound to be deaths. This is very normal."
And then, he also received a message, and his face turned pale with shock, "My, the Saint of my School is also dead?!"
"Who did it?!"
Elders from various Schools received messages, learning that their Prodigies' life fires had suddenly extinguished.
Without a doubt, they had died inside the Secret Realm.
One old man sat on a mountain peak, looking at the jumping Elders from the various Schools, chuckling and shaking his head, "The so-called Prodigies of these Schools are simply not worth mentioning!"
"Heh, Grand Elder speaks truly. How can these people be compared to Gu Feiyu?"
A Celestial Human next to him echoed.
Seeing this old man mocking their Prodigies, these Celestial Humans, who were already simmering with anger, immediately became displeased and looked at him.
"Who are you? How dare you mock us?"
"This old man, Gu Tong!"
Gu Tong...
Hearing this name, some people's pupils slightly contracted, "Qingyun Holy Land's Grand Elder, Gu Tong?!"
"Precisely!"
"My apologies, I was presumptuous!"
That Celestial Human immediately dared not speak out his anger.
Gu Tong, Qingyun Holy Land's Grand Elder! An existence second only to the Holy Land's Master, his cultivation had long reached the Void Tempering Realm!
He was much stronger than these Celestial Humans.
Seeing these people suddenly become fearful, Gu Tong couldn't help but sneer, "Did I say something wrong when I said your Prodigies were not worth mentioning? Dying so easily in the Secret Realm shows their ordinary strength! Unlike Gu Feiyu of my Qingyun Holy Land, who has the reputation of being the strongest below the Celestial Human Realm! No one in this Secret Realm can compare to him!"
Everyone heard this and gritted their teeth somewhat.
Their Prodigies had died, and now they were being mocked!
It was so infuriating.
But what could they do?
The other party's strength was much greater than theirs, plus Gu Feiyu was indeed a top-tier Prodigy famous throughout Qingluo Province!
They had nothing to say, daring not to speak out their anger!
Gu Tong looked at their expressions, growing even more disdainful. At this moment, the Jade Slip at his waist vibrated, and a message arrived.
He checked it, and then his face instantly turned grim, his body trembling slightly, as if he had received some shocking and unsettling news!
Everyone looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
What happened?
The old man next to Gu Tong asked curiously, "Grand Elder, what happened?"
Gu Tong said with a grim face, "Gu Feiyu... is dead!"
Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
It was like eating an ice cream in the middle of summer; their whole bodies felt so refreshed!
You mocked us!
Well, now, retribution has come, hasn't it!
And although they felt good inside, they didn't show it, only secretly snickering.
But they were also surprised in their hearts, who could have killed Gu Feiyu?
That old man said in shock, "How is that possible? Gu Feiyu has the reputation of being the strongest below the Celestial Human Realm, who could kill him??"
Gu Tong shook his head, "I don't know."
Then, a cold, murderous aura burst from his eyes as he looked towards the Secret Realm and said, "But the people inside the Secret Realm must know! When they come out, we'll capture them and ask!"
"No matter who killed Gu Feiyu, they will pay the price!!"
The Third Ancestor, hidden in the dark, also learned of Gu Feiyu's death.
He was also somewhat surprised, "Although that Gu Feiyu's character wasn't great, his strength was unquestionable. Who could have killed him?"
"Wait, it couldn't be..."
Chen Yi's face appeared in his mind.
To say who could kill Gu Feiyu below the Celestial Human Realm!
Besides Chen Yi, there were no other candidates!
"It couldn't really be this kid who did it, could it?"
"If it really was him... then it might be a bit troublesome!"
The Qingyun Holy Land would definitely not let them off!
