281: It's out

"They're out! They're out! Let's see how many people can survive this time!"

"I estimate that it's most likely the Saints from the Inner Sea. After all, in terms of cultivation, they were already at the eighth or ninth level of the Soul Palace Realm when they went in. With the Opportunities inside, they should at least be at the Half-step Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, right?"

"Some Prodigies from the Outer Sea also got a few azure dragon fragment maps, so some might survive, but I don't think many. After all, inside, life and death are up to fate. It's hard to guarantee that these Saints from the Inner Sea won't make a move against them!"

"In the face of life, everything else is false! It's pitiful that those guys from the Outer Sea were so smug, thinking they could cling to the Inner Sea's coattails, unaware that those who went in would also become targets for the Saints of the Inner Sea!"

The powerful figures from various forces watching the show outside Azure Dragon Valley all had a faint chill in their eyes.

They didn't ask for much, just some Opportunities. They couldn't compare to the top-tier forces like Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities, but besides those, they were already top-tier existences!

If they could see the foundation and Geniuses of these top Outer Sea forces depleted, it would be a good thing for them.

Therefore, there were many malicious speculations, and no one wanted to see their people come out!

At this moment, all the powerful figures standing inside Azure Dragon Valley opened their eyes wide, with a hint of anticipation in their hearts!

If even one of their own could come out, it would be a huge gain!

Boom!!!

In the Void Realm, Dao Patterns intertwined, and streaks of azure divine light continuously erupted. After the bronze gate appeared, the Dao Patterns on the bronze began to gradually crumble.

"Something's not right. Why are the Dao Patterns on this bronze gate starting to collapse? It's never happened before!"

Lei Tianjue said in a deep voice, feeling a vague unease in his heart.

In the past, when the bronze gate opened, Cultivators who were alive in the Secret Realm would be teleported out from inside; there was never any phenomenon of Dao Patterns collapsing. After all, this was left behind by a powerful figure of the Azure Dragon Clan, so it couldn't just inexplicably collapse!

"Perhaps something unforeseen happened inside. We can't speculate now; we'll only know what happened when the people inside come out!"

Ouyang Bi was also somewhat uneasy, but he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

All the powerful figures were waiting, their brows furrowed. No one wanted their people to die inside!

Mu Yunqing's heart had now sunk to rock bottom!

He vaguely felt that his conjecture might come true!

"What exactly happened inside? Could it be related to that kid Shen Tianxing?"

"Impossible!! What Realm is he in? For countless years, so many peerless Prodigies have entered, and no problems have ever arisen. He couldn't possibly have such ability!"

Mu Yunqing comforted himself in his heart.

Now, they could do nothing but wait for the Cultivators inside to emerge to know what had happened!

Boom!!!

Crack!! Crack!!

On the bronze gate, cracks extended, and under everyone's gaze, it actually began to collapse!

"Space collapsing?"

"It seems the Azure Dragon Secret Realm here can no longer be maintained. What exactly happened inside?"

In the clouds, Saint Fufeng frowned.

Of course, he knew about the existence within the Azure Dragon Secret Realm; it was left behind by a powerful figure of the Azure Dragon Clan!

In the Inner Sea, such Secret Realms also existed, and they were even more advanced than this one!

The Azure Dragon Secret Realm has opened?

Does that mean Shen Tianxing will come out?

Xing Yao looked at the collapsing bronze gate, feeling both nervous and joyful, but more than that, she was anxious!

She was nervous because Shen Tianxing had not yet appeared, and once the bronze gate collapsed, it meant that no one inside could come out!

Shen Tianxing would never appear!

She was joyful because, since their parting in Nanyuan Domain, she hadn't seen him for several months. Her longing was constant, and his every word, action, and graceful gesture were always in her mind!

She was anxious because Azure Dragon Valley had now become a huge trap!

Once Shen Tianxing appeared, he would step into this trap. Surrounded by Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts, with at least a dozen Heavenly Phenomenon Realm Cultivators encircling him, even with Liu Xianyun by his side, he probably wouldn't be able to escape!

And there was also Saint Fufeng, lurking in the clouds, waiting to strike; he was the most terrifying one!

Yet, Xing Yao, despite her abilities, couldn't help him in the slightest!

"What? Are you scared? Your Divine Soul fluctuations are very intense!"

Saint Fufeng suddenly turned his head to look at Xing Yao, a sneer on his lips.

In his gaze, there was even a sense of pleasure in manipulating the lives and deaths of all beings!

To become a Saint of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, he was indeed no ordinary person.

Truly disgusting!!

Xing Yao didn't even have the inclination to say a word to him.

"It doesn't matter if you hate me; I don't care at all!"

"As long as Shen Tianxing appears, you will personally watch him die here. I will leave you the Opportunity to collect his body."

Saint Fufeng dared not do anything to her, but he felt no pressure at all about killing Shen Tianxing.

He also wasn't afraid that Xing Yao would resent him; Starfall Gate, a major Sect, was not something Xing Yao had the final say in.

Even if her status was extraordinary, as long as there was profit, Starfall Gate would not refuse to cooperate with a major Sect like the Holy Heaven Demon Sect... Boom!!!

The bronze gate exploded, and the altar on the ground was also destroyed simultaneously, completely ending their reason for existence!

A sky full of Qi swept out!

Fortunately, the only people left here were the top experts from Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities; other Cultivators with insufficient strength were waiting outside.

This prevented major casualties.

"Are they out?"

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Lei Tianjue and the others stepped forward, wanting to see what was going on!

Where the giant bronze gate had been, two auras emanated, immediately halting their forward steps.

"Shen Tianxing? Liu Xianyun?"

"It's actually them who came out? Where are the others!!!"

Lei Tianjue's face changed drastically as he sensed their auras, and his heart immediately panicked!

"Impossible!"

"How could it only be the two of them? So many Saints, Prodigies..."

Ouyang Bi's eyes were about to split!

He couldn't continue his sentence!

The situation was already clear: only Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun had emerged. Not a single aura of anyone else was present.

There was only one answer: they were all dead!

"Everyone, after waiting so long, are you very disappointed to see this result?"

"The answer you seek, I think I don't need to tell you, right?"

Shen Tianxing, with one arm around Liu Xianyun's flawless, perfect waist, enveloped by true essence, shielding them from the endless dust outside, said with a smile.

Liu Xianyun did not push his hand away. She didn't care about the gazes of the people in front of her; she had already grown accustomed to Shen Tianxing's intimate gestures... The bronze gate shattered, and the dust settled!

The only people who emerged were Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun; no one else appeared.

This meant that everyone else was already dead!

"What an unexpected outcome!"

"I didn't expect that in the end, it would be Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun who survived. It seems we all guessed wrong; these two madmen really cannot be judged by common sense!"

"This time, these guys who thought highly of themselves have suffered a great loss! I'm very curious now: how did those Saints and Prodigies from the Inner Sea, and the other experts who entered from the Outer Sea, die? Could it also be related to Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun?"

"According to news from other Disciples, Shen Tianxing began killing people everywhere from the first level of the Secret Realm. The number of Cultivators who died at his hands is not small, and the same goes for our people! It's conceivable that after reaching the life-and-death stage of the third level of the Secret Realm, Shen Tianxing would certainly not miss such an Opportunity!"

"This guy is too dangerous. In the Outer Sea, he has already slaughtered many cities. If he doesn't die, it won't be good for us either!"

The powerful figures watching the show outside Azure Dragon Valley frowned, their hearts conflicted at this moment.

On the one hand, they were happy to weaken the young generation of Prodigies from Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities, as this left them an Opportunity to rise.

But on the other hand, Shen Tianxing being alive was not good news for them!

This madman was capable of anything. If he was left alive, who knew which force would be the next to suffer among them?

"Don't worry, I think this time, he won't get away either! These people from Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities won't let him off. He definitely has to account for how those people died!"

An account?

If this were any other Secret Realm expedition, no one would bother those who came out alive!

Only this time, it was an exception!

Because Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun were already thorns in the side of others, and they wouldn't rest until they were removed!

"Shen Tianxing, shouldn't you explain why only you and Liu Xianyun came out alive? How did so many Cultivators from our Outer Sea, and those Saints and Prodigies from the Inner Sea, die?"

Mu Yunqing narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.

The Saint of Moon Gazing Island also didn't come out. He was one of his Disciples, exceptionally talented, with the potential to surpass him in the future!

Most importantly, he held an azure dragon fragment map. If he hadn't met with foul play, he surely would have come out alive.

But now, Mu Yunqing could only try to find out what happened inside from Shen Tianxing.

"Island Master Mu? Are you senile?"

Shen Tianxing sneered, "Entering the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, life and death are up to fate! What happened to them, what does it have to do with Shen Tianxing?"

"Or are you saying, Island Master Mu, that you intend to blame all the reasons, indiscriminately, on me?"

Liu Xianyun, beside him, gave him a curious glance. This wasn't his usual style of doing things!

But she didn't say much.

Now, everything was up to him.

"Shen Tianxing, are you still trying to deny it? Besides you, who else could be involved in this matter? If it had nothing to do with you, how could only you and Liu Xianyun have come out alive!"

"Your sophistry is useless. Since they are dead, then there's no need for the two of you to live either!"

Lei Tianjue was filled with Killing Intent, and powerful wind and thunder true essence surged. Within a hundred miles, gales roared and thunder rumbled!

The sky for thousands of miles had unknowingly been covered by dense dark clouds!

"Heh..."

Shen Tianxing chuckled softly. He knew this would be the outcome. Whether he admitted it or not, would these people just let him go?

He didn't even entertain such a pleasant thought!

Before entering the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, he had already offended almost all the forces. The reason they hadn't attacked before, and even allowed him to use his influence to suppress Lei Tianjue and Ouyang Bi, was simply because he held the azure dragon fragment map as a bargaining chip!

Now that the Azure Dragon Secret Realm was over, it was time for reckoning!

Their true faces, hidden beneath their masks, were revealed without hesitation!

"In that case, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"

"Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities, the top forces of the Outer Sea, are nothing but lackeys of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect. If you're going to be a dog, you should have the awareness of a dog. Too much nonsense will only make me look down on you!"

These words instantly caused an uproar!

Inside and outside Azure Dragon Valley, all the Cultivators present showed expressions of horror!

How did the Holy Heaven Demon Sect suddenly get involved again?

That was one of the two top transcendent forces in the Northern Desolate, an unparalleled existence second only to Dianxing Academy!

Could their people have also come here?

Listening to Shen Tianxing's tone, he already knew that the other party had come for him, and had even mobilized the top experts of Two Islands, Five Sects, Eight Cities to participate!

His influence was too great!

"Shen Tianxing, your arrogance will only bring you disaster. You can only blame yourself for provoking an existence you shouldn't have!"

"Even without the Holy Heaven Demon Sect, your widespread slaughter in the Outer Sea means we cannot let you go!"

Ouyang Bi suddenly spoke, and his words just happened to confirm the truth of what Shen Tianxing had said!

The Holy Heaven Demon Sect's reach had indeed extended to the Outer Sea!

"Hahaha..."

Shen Tianxing suddenly laughed. He looked up at the clouds, his gaze filled with disdain for everything!

"The people of the Holy Heaven Demon Sect are truly disgraceful!"

"You've been here so long, yet you dare not show yourselves?"

"And you even brought a friend of mine as a bargaining chip. What? Are you that afraid of me?"

His voice was like a booming bell, transforming into an invisible wave of Qi that spread in all directions.

Every Cultivator present could hear clearly, and following his gaze, they all looked towards the clouds!

The faces of powerful figures like Mu Yunqing, Lin Taia, Fu Xuanhe, and Lei Tianjue were ashen, as if they had swallowed a bellyful of flies.

Shen Tianxing exposing Saint Fufeng's whereabouts was a harsh slap to their faces. Originally, they had wanted to distance themselves from the Holy Heaven Demon Sect's involvement to prove they weren't subservient to it, but now that was impossible!

In the clouds, two figures slowly emerged.

Saint Fufeng, dressed in a white robe, with a face like golden jade and a hint of feminine softness, appeared.

Beside him stood Xing Yao!

Now, Xing Yao's body and Divine Soul were locked by him, unable to move or even speak.

Only her eyes, upon seeing Shen Tianxing, showed both worry and joy.

This was a reunion after a long separation, but she hadn't expected it to be under such circumstances.

"To be able to discover this Saint's whereabouts? Your strength is definitely not Soul Palace Realm; you must have already stepped into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm!"

"Azure Dragon Secret Realm, a profound Opportunity indeed!"
