Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 126: Three Years of Hard Work

"Ancestor." Seeing that the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared, the dean and the heads of the various pavilions were all in a panic. "The entrance has been closed, and little friend Chu hasn't come out yet. What should we do?" Didn't you say that you would be watching over it to make sure everything was safe?

The old man from Juanshan's face also changed. He began to activate that thread of connection to open the entrance, but found that it was completely ineffective. Although the connection was still there, the secret realm was refusing him entry.

Just as he was getting anxious, the head of the Fu Pavilion on the right suddenly cried out, "Ancestor, why are those Yuzhou people like this?!"

When everyone turned around, they found that the few people from Yuzhou who were specially captured by the ancestor suddenly began to bleed from all seven orifices and twitch all over their bodies. In less than half a minute, they were completely dead.

"How could this happen?" Not only the old man from Juanshan, but everyone present was shocked.

He took a step forward and took a closer look, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper. "These people all have signs of being possessed, but their spirits have dissipated."

"What?" Dean Yu was shocked. He knew that the people in Yuzhou had no moral principles, but he didn't expect them to do something as unethical as possessing another's body. "Old Ancestor, are you saying these are just shells, and the people aren't dead?"

"No." Juanshan shook his head. "Although these people possessed other people's bodies, they didn't merge their souls. They were probably still planning to return to their original bodies, but the time they could borrow someone else's body was limited. They were also injured by the green mist in the secret realm and fell into a coma. Their souls couldn't return in time, and they are now completely dead."

Dean Yu took a closer look and found that these people were in the fusion stage before, but now they have turned back to the golden elixir stage and the nascent soul stage. It seems that this is the original level of their physical cultivation. The previous fusion stage should be the level of their primordial spirit.

"Then... what are they trying to do?" They went through such a long process, snatched someone else's body to enter the secret realm, and not only did they not completely occupy the body, but they also wanted to return to their original body, as if they were just borrowing someone else's body temporarily. Isn't this just a joke? They are not afraid of damaging their souls.

Logically speaking, anyone who uses such a vicious technique as possession of another's body must have their original body damaged and unusable, or their body has simply perished, leaving only the soul. If you're thinking of going back after seeing possession of another's body for the first time, there's absolutely no need to do that.

The old man from Juanshan shook his head, unable to figure out what these people from Yuzhou were trying to do, but he became more and more worried about Chu Qiuci.

"Grandmaster, what should we do next?" Dean Yu asked in a deep voice, "Will young friend Chu be in danger?"

The old man from Juanshan was silent for a while before waving his hands to destroy the bodies of those people. After confirming that they were dead, he said in a deep voice, "Let's go back to the academy first."

The only way to know what happened to the Master is to ask her herself.

The pavilion masters were stunned. Although they were still worried about Qiu Ci, they had no choice but to go back, looking back every step of the way, because of the order from the ancestor.

*******
A few hours later, Lanyuan.

"Master..."

"I'm in Fengdong Continent." Before the old man from Juanshan could speak, Qiu Ci, who was meditating, spoke directly, "I'm running for my life."

"What?!" The old man from Juanshan was shocked. He never expected that she would be in Yuzhou.

Qiu Ci had no choice but to repeat the story of how his clone was accidentally teleported there.

"What should I do?" The old man from Juanshan was suddenly very anxious. "Master, can you use that token to return to the secret realm?"

"No." Qiu Ci shook his head. "The secret realm is being reset and no one can enter. Moreover, the access permission of the temporary access card has been turned off." She turned it off with her own hands.

The old man from Juanshan gritted his teeth and said, "Then we can only try to break through the void and see if we can get to Yuzhou..." "That's not necessary." She hurriedly stopped him. Crossing states is different from crossing continents. You need to break through the void to get there, and the success rate is not high. "There are so many states and continents. Even if you can go to Yuzhou, you may not be able to reach Fengdong Continent." By the time you go there, it might be too late.

“But Master…”

"Don't worry, my clone is fine for now," Qiu Ci comforted him. "The only way now is for me to enter the secret realm myself, re-activate the temporary access card, and teleport my clone back."

"But Master, your thunder tribulation..." hasn't it been completed yet?

"I can only speed up." Qiu Ci gritted her teeth and increased the speed of releasing the thunder tribulation, hoping that her clone could survive safely in Fengdong Continent before she used up all the thunder tribulation.

"..."

******
Chu Qiuci from Fengdong Continent at this time.

Well, she was indeed safe. She originally thought that she would be in great danger if she escaped from the Zhao family, but for some reason, she escaped so far and none of the Zhao family members caught up with her.

I don’t know if they gave up or if she really ran too fast and left them behind.

After confirming that she was temporarily safe, she immediately performed a few hand gestures, modified her own aura, suppressed her cultivation to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, changed her appearance and even changed her clothes, before she breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally wanted to find a place nearby to hide for a few years, but after thinking about it, I gave up. Although I escaped, it was still too close to the Zhao family. Who knows if they will search here, so it is best to stay as far away as possible.

So, after releasing his spiritual sense a little and realizing that there was a city of cultivators ahead, he planned to go in and see if there was a teleportation array or something, and to inquire about the situation.

This is just a small town with not many cultivators coming and going. But the strange thing is that their cultivation base is not high. Most of them are only in the Qi training and foundation building stages, not even in the Golden Core stage. It is just like those ordinary towns on the Lanru Continent.

Suddenly she thought of the Zhao family's group of fusion cultivators, and the skinny old man in the Mahayana stage. Even the group of people who entered the secret realm were all in the fusion stage. So she originally thought that the overall level of cultivation in Fengdong Continent was very high, so it was full of fusion masters. Now it seems that this is not the case. She was just unlucky to meet the top group of people.

Qiu Ci followed the crowd towards the city gate. Just as she was about to enter the city, a monk in guard uniform said to her, "Hey, you! And the rest of you, come here."

She was stunned for a moment, and the monks beside her also looked puzzled, but they still stopped and asked timidly, "Sir, are you calling us?"

"That's right." The guard raised his head slightly, glanced at the few people with disdain, and said, "The five of you follow me."

After saying that, he turned around and left, as if he was not worried at all that they would not follow him.

Several people looked at each other, but still followed obediently, as if they were used to it, and Qiu Ci had no choice but to follow.

The guard walked down the street with a few people. The monks on the road avoided them wherever they passed, their expressions filled with fear, not even daring to look up. Qiu Ci frowned as he watched until the guard stopped in front of a large magic circle.

"Go in! This teleportation array will take you directly to Shi Ning City, a thousand miles away." The guard waved his hand.

Qiu Ci: “…”

Is there such a good thing? !
