266: Chapter 266 Escaping the River of Oblivion

The few Core Disciples of the Zhao Family felt their hearts tighten and immediately stepped forward to check on the injuries of their Family Disciple.

Ye Yisong lay on the ground, a lingering fear in his heart. He could clearly feel that just a moment ago, his body had almost uncontrollably made a series of movements that defied common sense. If those had been revealed in plain sight of everyone, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Zhao Qingyan helped Ye Yisong up and immediately fed him a Medicinal Pill to stop his injuries from worsening!

Meanwhile, the teams of the King of Donghai's seventh son, Liu Ye, and Lü Jia of the Yunhai Sect were not spared either.

Although the White Lion did not directly point them out, the Yao Emperor's fury could not be bothered with such details. In the end, it vented its anger on all the human forces that had entered the Secret Realm. Several streaks of Yao energy swept across, causing the guards under Liu Ye, the fellow Disciples of Lü Jia, and the Loose Cultivators to collapse one after another, resulting in heavy casualties.

Liu Ye and Lü Jia only managed to barely protect themselves by using all their strength, yet they were both injured, their expressions looking extremely ugly.

Only the team from the Dan Jian Sect was an exception!

Because Zhang Xuanlang was still in a coma, the Dan Jian Sect Disciples had been escorting him out from the inner layer. The road had not been peaceful, as they had encountered several waves of Yao Beast riots, so they had moved the slowest, which happened to help them avoid this turmoil.

For some reason, when the Yao Emperor's gaze swept over them, it was just a faint glance, and it did not take action.

Perhaps it was because the Dan Jian Sect itself had not participated in the hunt; in any case, they miraculously avoided this catastrophe with almost no losses.

"Kid, do you think you can escape?" After dealing with most of the people, the Yao Emperor locked its gaze onto Wu Muchuan again and walked towards him step by step, its killing intent chilling.

The Yao Emperor had deliberately left Wu Muchuan for last because it wanted to keep torturing him, destroy his Martial Artist's heart, and keep him living in fear. But now that Wu Muchuan actually dared to run away, this was something the Yao Emperor could not tolerate.

Wu Muchuan's eyes were filled with despair; he knew that he would undoubtedly die today.

He had actually been delusional just moments ago, thinking he had escaped the Yao Emperor's notice.

Sigh, is it possible that I, Wu Muchuan, am going to die just as my Cultivate has achieved some success?

However, just at this moment, a dazzling beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky—the Secret Realm exit had finally opened!

That beam of light reached straight into the sky, emitting intense spatial fluctuations; it was the only passage to leave the Wangchuan Secret Realm.

"A great Opportunity!" A flash of wild joy crossed Wu Muchuan's eyes. Immediately disregarding his injuries, he violently sacrificed a blood-colored token and began chanting.

The token erupted with a burst of intense light, wrapping around his body, and instantly turned into a streak of light, shooting towards the Secret Realm exit.

Seeing this, the Yao Emperor's killing intent grew even stronger. Just as it was about to pursue, it seemed to recall something and suddenly stopped its footsteps, standing motionless in place.

Seeing this, the other survivors reacted one after another, each using their own methods to dash wildly towards the exit.

Zhao Qingyan hurriedly carried the heavily injured Ye Yisong on his back and quickly left with the remaining Zhao Family Disciples.

Li Xiuyan, Liu Ye, Lü Jia, and the others dared not linger either, using every last bit of their strength to charge towards the beam of light.

The moment they left the Secret Realm, everyone felt a dizzying sensation. When they finally stood on solid ground again, they had already appeared on the plains of Wangchuan Valley.

Wu Muchuan stood in the center of the plain, looking at the Secret Realm exit slowly closing behind him. Perhaps because he had escaped from the brink of death, he couldn't help but laugh wantonly: "Truly, Heaven blesses me! The Yao Emperor is nothing more than this; I, Wu Muchuan..."

His laughter came to an abrupt halt, for a figure he would never forget for the rest of his life was slowly walking out from the beam of light at the Secret Realm exit.

The Yao Emperor had actually torn through the spatial barrier between the Secret Realm and the outside world, personally pursuing him out!

"What?!" Everyone was stunned, their Faces filled with disbelief.

The Secret Realm exit had restrictions imposed by the laws of Heaven and Earth, making it impossible for powerful Yao Beasts to easily step out. The Yao Emperor's action was undoubtedly a Heaven-Defying act!

The Yao Emperor locked its gaze coldly onto Wu Muchuan, its Yao energy surging violently; it was clearly truly enraged: "This Emperor said it before, you will undoubtedly die today!"

As it spoke, it raised its palm, condensing a force capable of destroying Heaven and Earth, and struck towards Wu Muchuan.

Wu Muchuan was so frightened that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering; he had no time to dodge.

The five Wu Family Martial King Elders who had been waiting outside the Secret Realm, although unaware of what had happened, could not just stand by and watch their own Prodigy die violently in front of them, so they immediately joined forces to block this strike from the Yao Emperor.

But the Yao Emperor's attack was not so easy to receive. The protective barrier supported by the six of them was like paper; it shattered instantly, and it looked as if the giant palm was about to land on the six of them.

Just at this critical moment, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, blocking in front of the six Wu Family members.

Within the golden light, a middle-aged man wearing golden battle armor and possessing an awe-inspiring Aura appeared. He held a long spear and forcefully took the Yao Emperor's palm strike.

"Boom!" The two terrifying forces collided, forming a massive shockwave that swept through the surroundings.

The middle-aged man retreated half a step, stabilized his stance, and said in a deep voice: "Lion Emperor, it has been many years, why be so enraged?"

The Yao Emperor looked at the middle-aged man, a trace of disdain flashing in its eyes: "General Liu Qi? You dare to stop me?"

General Liu Qi held his long spear, his expression serious: "Lion Emperor, you once had an agreement with our Great Wei Imperial Court. Within the inner layer of the Secret Realm, you may hold the power of life and death, but outside the Secret Realm, you must abide by the rules of Great Wei. Let today's matter end here."

The Yao Emperor was silent for a moment, its gaze sweeping over everyone present, then looked at the Secret Realm exit behind it that was about to close completely.

Finally, it snorted coldly: "Fine! For the sake of your grandfather, I will spare his life today. But remember, this Emperor's patience has its limits."

"Let the Wangchuan Secret Realm open again in three hundred years!"

After saying this, the Yao Emperor turned around, transformed into a streak of light, and rushed back into the Secret Realm. The beam of light at the Secret Realm exit then disappeared completely.

The Yao Emperor inside the Wangchuan Secret Realm was actually still alive, and it could even freely enter and exit the Secret Realm!

Fortunately, the General had happened to be patrolling nearby. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing onto the ground, their Faces filled with the relief of having survived a disaster.

Wu Muchuan's Face was pale as he cupped his hands towards General Liu Qi: "Many thanks to the General for saving my life."

General Liu Qi waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over the survivors from the various major forces present, but he said nothing. He had come quickly and left just as quickly.

This upheaval in the Wangchuan Secret Realm would surely stir up a massive storm in the East Sea Region.

And the future fate of the instigator of all this, as well as those who survived in the Secret Realm, would likely be changed because of it.

Ye Yisong was put down by Zhao Qingyan and leaned against a large tree, slowly regulating his breathing.

Feeling the weak Aura within his body and the silent 798 Navigation System in his mind, his heart was filled with countless thoughts.

This trip to the Wangchuan Secret Realm had not only gained him an Opportunity but had also pulled him into an even larger vortex.

His bond with the Zhao Family had become increasingly deep, and his future path to Cultivate was destined not to be smooth.

But his gaze was resolute; no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, he would forge ahead, protecting the people he wanted to protect in his heart.
