677: A powerful celestial being descended, his killing intent palpable.

Just as Ji Wuchang was celebrating, the sky rumbled and shook as a vortex appeared above.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the vortex in the sky, many with glints of excitement in their eyes.

"The group from the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is about to enter the Secret Realm."

Someone instantly realized what was happening and couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

Hearing this, Ji Wuchang frowned slightly. With a flash of his body, he appeared a short distance away, looking at the vortex in the sky with an indifferent gaze.

Powerful auras emerged from the vortex, causing many present to show a hint of awe and respect in their eyes.

Some looked at Ji Wuchang with strange expressions.

Just moments ago, Ji Wuchang had wiped out everyone from the Yuan Family, the Changhe Sect, and the White Wolf Sect.

Once the Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts from those forces arrived, they would certainly not let the matter rest.

In their hearts, they acknowledged that Ji Wuchang was indeed very strong, but compared to those in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, they didn't think he would be their match.

Tian Zhennan looked at the vortex in the sky and then at Ji Wuchang, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Ji Wuchang had originally intended to browse the System Mall, as he was quite wealthy now.

But sensing the increasingly terrifying auras within the sky vortex, he stopped, his expression indifferent.

He knew that more trouble was bound to arise shortly!

At that moment, six pitch-black figures emerged from the vortex and appeared in the sky.

These six were all clad in black robes that concealed their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed.

However, terrifying auras surged from their bodies; they were all genuine Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.

Ji Wuchang frowned as he looked at these six, sensing a familiar aura coming from them.

He released his Divine Soul and swept it over the six. Then, he was startled; he knew where they came from—the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls!

Ji Wuchang hadn't expected members of the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls to appear in the Secret Realm as well.

He hadn't dealt with anyone from the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls for over six months and had almost forgotten about them, only to encounter them again here.

He remained calm and withdrew his Divine Soul power.

A bold thought suddenly occurred to him: could the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls have been behind the incident at Medicine King Valley years ago?

For some reason, he felt that his guess was likely correct.

The six figures from the Hall of Ten Thousand Souls looked down at the Barrier below, greed flickering in their eyes simultaneously.

They slowly descended to the very front of the Barrier and stood there calmly.

Just then, one powerful aura after another surged from the vortex as Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts stepped out one by one.

Following closely behind the black-robed men were members of the Fire Phoenix Sect, totaling four Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.

Then, experts from major forces like the Yuan Family, Changhe Sect, Sky Phoenix Tower, and Ancient Dao Sect appeared, each arriving with three Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts.

Behind these major forces were second-rate powers like the White Wolf Sect and the Hou Family, each with two Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts!

Then, experts from many smaller forces appeared, each represented by a single Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert.

After entering, these people instinctively looked toward the Barrier, their eyes flashing with excitement.

To them, the outer sector of Medicine King Valley held nothing of value; they had let the Dao Severing Realm Cultivators in merely for training.

The place truly worth fighting for was, naturally, the inner sector.

Feng Qimei, Tan Wugang, Hou Wuqing, and the others were overjoyed to see their respective Elders appear, and they all let out a sigh of relief.

Tan Wugang looked in Ji Wuchang's direction, killing intent flashing in his eyes and a cold sneer appearing on his lips.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Many people around cupped their fists and spoke, though they were addressing different people.

On the Hou Family's side, two Celestial Phenomenon Realm Elders appeared beside Hou Wuqing and the others.

One was named Hou Aiguang, and the other was Hou Langyuan; the former was at the third level of the celestial phenomenon realm, while the latter was at the second level of the celestial phenomenon realm.

The two looked at Hou Wuqing and the others suspiciously, their brows furrowing.

"Wuqing, didn't our Hou Family arrange for seventeen people to enter the Secret Realm? Why are there only a few of you left? Where are the others?"

Hou Langyuan was the first to lose his patience and asked directly.

Hou Wuqing glanced at Ji Wuchang nearby. Seeing him so composed, a chill rose in his heart for some reason.

He spoke hesitantly, "Old Ancestor, I have been traveling alone in the Secret Realm and only reunited with them after arriving here!"

"I am not very clear on what happened in the interim!"

Hou Wuqing spoke slowly. Even he didn't know why he said that instead of pointing out Ji Wuchang.

Perhaps it was because the fear he felt for Ji Wuchang made him subconsciously unwilling to provoke him.

Hou Langyuan frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Hou Wuqing's answer.

He couldn't help but look at the other Hou Family members with a scrutinizing gaze.

The expressions of the Hou Family members changed, but they all lowered their heads, not daring to speak up immediately.

"Where are my Changhe Sect members? Come and regroup with this old man at once!"

At that moment, an old man spoke from the sky, his body exuding the pressure of the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

This old man was named Ma Xiaoguang, the younger brother of the new Changhe Sect Leader, Ma Anshan, and the true leader for the Changhe Sect in this Secret Realm expedition.

Behind him followed a man and a woman, named Qi Xibing and Qiu Hualian respectively, both at the second level of the celestial phenomenon realm!

"Yuan Conghe, Yuan Congyun, why haven't you led the Yuan Family Disciples over to regroup with this old man!"

Another voice rang out as an Elder from the Yuan Family spoke.

This person was named Yuan Haisong, also at the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

The two beside him were Yuan Weiyu and Yuan Weikang; the former was at the third level, and the latter was at the second level.

"Where are the White Wolf Sect Disciples?"

From the sky, another old man's voice sounded. He was Sun Anwei, at the third level of the celestial phenomenon realm.

He was accompanied by a woman named Chang Tingting, at the second level of the celestial phenomenon realm, who was also Chang Yuhuan's young aunt.

Hearing these voices, everyone present couldn't help but show strange expressions.

If they had arrived just fifteen minutes earlier, they would have seen their Sect members.

As for now, only corpses and bloodstains remained on the ground.

Many people couldn't help but look toward Ji Wuchang's location, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Suddenly, Yuan Haisong let out a thunderous roar, a terrifying killing intent erupting from him.

Upon arriving, his attention had been on the Barrier, and he hadn't had time to sweep the surroundings with his Divine Soul.

Now, seeing that no one from the Yuan Family had appeared, he felt uneasy. His Divine Soul swept out and discovered several corpses of Yuan Family members!

"Who is it? Who dared to kill my Yuan Family members? Get out here! This old man will tear him into ten thousand pieces!"

Yuan Haisong's words were almost screamed out. The pressure of the fourth level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm radiated from him, his killing intent chilling!
