39: The loyalty of the evil sect's disciples

Ghost Ink said in a deep voice, "Lu Xingchen, you are truly ruthless! An uninformed person would think you were a Disciple of an evil Sect."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "Normal operation. Ghost Ink, Gui Yaoer, leave your last words!"

Ghost Ink shouted, "Yao'er, you go first, I'll hold them off for you!"

With that, Ghost Ink launched an attack on Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen frowned and raised his sword to counterattack.

This time, Ghost Ink's offensive was exceptionally fierce, disregarding his own safety, only seeking to injure Lu Xingchen.

Gui Yaoer shouted, "Senior Brother, I can't leave! I can't just watch you die here without doing anything."

Ghost Ink: "Silly girl, we must leave a spark for the Nine Ghosts Sect. When your strength becomes stronger later, you can avenge me. Senior Brother has absolute confidence in you!"

Ghost Ink's attack was full of openings, and Lu Xingchen's sword thrust directly pierced his chest.

But Ghost Ink actually used his muscles to clamp the shadow sword and extended both hands to grasp the shadow sword, preventing Lu Xingchen from pulling it out.

Seeing this, Gui Yaoer finally no longer hesitated and turned to flee.

Her venomous voice echoed through the medicinal garden.

"Lu Xingchen, for the murder of my brother today, I, Gui Yaoer, will surely have my revenge!"

Lu Xingchen's brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Ning Feng, pursue!"

Ning Feng immediately gave chase.

Lu Xingchen released the shadow sword and activated "Stone Shattering Palm," striking Ghost Ink's forehead with a palm.

Ghost Ink spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his Aura instantly weakened, but he still tightly gripped the shadow sword.

Lu Xingchen showed no mercy, delivering a second and then a third palm strike.

Ghost Ink finally lost his strength, his hands falling limply.

Lu Xingchen violently pulled out the shadow sword and enveloped his entire body in battle Qi.

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, but it was all blocked by Lu Xingchen's battle Qi, not staining him.

[Congratulations to the host for killing a One-Star Grand Martial Master, gaining 150 experience points and 150 exchange points!]

After dealing with Ghost Ink, Lu Xingchen immediately pursued in the direction Gui Yaoer had fled.

He only chased for a hundred meters before running directly into Ning Feng.

Ning Feng rubbed his head and said somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, Boss, I lost her."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "As expected. Gui Yaoer is, after all, the Young Sect Master of the Nine Ghosts Sect, so it's normal for her to have some life-saving techniques."

The two returned to the front of the medicinal garden.

Seeing Ghost Ink's corpse, Ning Feng continuously clicked his tongue.

"This Ghost Ink is quite a man, actually daring to die to cover Gui Yaoer's retreat."

Lu Xingchen said indifferently, "There is no absolute good or evil in human hearts. In Gui Yaoer's eyes, he was a good Senior Brother. But in the eyes of the common people massacred by the Nine Ghosts Sect, he was a devil."

Ning Feng nodded slightly: "I understand that. Boss, your actions are truly decisive. I'm a little glad that you and I are fellow Disciples, not your enemies."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself. Hurry up and recover your battle Qi; Disciples from other Sects might find this place at any time."

With that, Lu Xingchen handed Ning Feng a rejuvenation pill.

Ning Feng took the rejuvenation pill, swallowed it, and then sat cross-legged on the ground to recover from his injuries and battle Qi.

Lu Xingchen also sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering his battle Qi.

Two hours later, a Phoenix cry came from the medicinal garden, and a powerful Aura surged out.

Lu Xingchen smiled, "It seems Senior Sister Lin Jing has successfully made a Breakthrough."

Immediately, he dispersed the Spirit Binding Array and led Ning Feng into the medicinal garden.

Lin Jing stood up from the ground.

"Success! Now I am also a Great Martial Master Realm Expert."

Lu Xingchen was also delighted in his heart.

"Since that's the case, let's continue forward!"

The three continued deeper into the Secret Realm.

An hour later, the three arrived at a Plaza.

In the center of the Plaza were ten stone steles, carved with profound patterns, clearly not ordinary items.

There were already dozens of people in the Plaza, including Disciples from all five major Sects.

But these people did not immediately contend for the stone steles; instead, they were scattered at the edges of the Plaza, seemingly watching the excitement.

Lu Xingchen patted the shoulder of a Haotian Sect Disciple and asked in a deep voice, "Big brother, what excitement are you watching? Could you please explain it to a newcomer?"

The Haotian Sect Disciple turned his head and smiled, "Oh, nothing much, just the Disciples of Lingxiao Sect and Five Elements Sect fighting. "

"Hu Junfeng, the strongest Disciple of Lingxiao Sect, is being beaten by the Saint of Five Elements Sect, with no ability to resist. He'll probably die soon. By the way, little brother, which Sect are you from?"

"I'm also from Lingxiao Sect."

With that, Lu Xingchen no longer lingered, rushing into the center of the Plaza and blocking in front of Hu Junfeng.

Hu Junfeng, Gu Zheng, Tao Ran, and Li Qin were all there.

Hu Junfeng had a bleeding hole in his stomach, but he still held his spirit transformation sword and stood firm.

Behind him were the other three who had already fallen to the ground.

Upon seeing Lu Xingchen, the despair in their eyes instantly vanished, replaced by intense joy.

"Lu Xingchen, you're finally here!"

Lu Xingchen handed each of the four a rejuvenation pill and a qi recovery pill, saying in a deep voice, "You all recover from your injuries first. The rest, leave it to me!"

Hu Junfeng nodded heavily and said, "Lu Xingchen, you must be careful, all three of them are very strong!"

Lu Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry!"

Three Great Martial Master Realm Experts were indeed very strong, which was why Hu Junfeng and the others were in such a sorry state.

But they were not invincible!

The three from Five Elements Sect merely watched Lu Xingchen's actions coldly, without interfering.

Because, in their eyes, the seven people before them were already dead.

It was only after Lu Xingchen turned around that Qin Hao, the leading Three-Star Great Martial Master, slowly spoke.

"You are Lu Xingchen? The newly promoted Saint of Lingxiao Sect? You seem quite ordinary!"

"How about this, I'll give you a chance. Hand over Lin Jing so we can have some fun with her, and the other six can scram."

Lu Xingchen gently shook his head: "I, Lu Xingchen, will not do anything to betray my fellow Disciples."

Qin Hao waved his hand: "Then what's there to say? Die!"

With that, Qin Hao activated his battle Qi and struck Lu Xingchen with a palm.

Lu Xingchen was not afraid in the slightest, directly activating the "Heaven Swallowing Art," his Realm immediately soaring to One-Star Grand Martial Master, and then he unleashed the "Stone Shattering Palm."

The two's palms collided, creating a huge shockwave.

Lu Xingchen still stood in place, while Qin Hao was forced back five steps.

Seeing this scene, the entire Plaza erupted in an uproar.

"Holy cow, Lu Xingchen actually gained the upper hand! How is this possible?"

"Qin Hao is a Three-Star Great Martial Master, the highest Realm present. Lu Xingchen actually managed to force him back!"

"Why did his Realm improve so quickly? Is it a secret technique?"

Qin Hao rubbed his slightly aching palm and said in a deep voice, "As expected of the Saint of Lingxiao Sect, you have some skill. I just wonder how long you can maintain this secret technique?"
