The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 404: The Accounting Begins!
Just then, another person ran out, looking extremely disheveled.

As soon as they came out, the group shouted in a panic.

"Elder Wu, something terrible has happened! Someone has impersonated Li Meng and infiltrated the secret realm, and even killed Senior Sister Song Lantian and the others!"

This statement was so shocking that it stunned everyone.

The once bustling campsite instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Yue Lin and the others from the Ancient Cold Sect were shocked, and a sense of guilt flashed through their hearts.

After all, Song Lantian and those disciples died at their hands, and they originally intended to keep quiet and never mention it again.

Now that they've been brought out, it's understandable that they feel a little nervous.

Song Wanning, on the other hand, remained relaxed and unperturbed throughout.

The men looked at her, and the tension in their hearts eased a little.

"What did you say?"

Wu Zongyuan thought he had misheard and asked again.

So far, only a little over fifty people have emerged from the Canglan Sect, and he was already worried...

"Elder Wu, someone has impersonated Li Meng, infiltrated the secret realm, and even killed Senior Sister Song Lantian and the others..."

"He killed more than ten of us. If it weren't for our old wounds flaring up, we would have all perished too!"

The disciples were so angry that their eyes turned red. Especially after they heard that an outsider had obtained a divine beast cub and was attacked and injured, they immediately connected the two.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zongyuan felt a surge of anger rush to the top of his head.

Not only did the agreed-upon plan fail, but Song Lantian and more than ten other disciples were also murdered. How dare that person!
"Fellow Martial Artist, did that person infiltrate your Canglan Sect as a disciple?"

How come you didn't notice?

The elders from the other sects quickly grasped the key point: that person had infiltrated the Canglan Sect by blending in with its disciples!

Wu Zongyuan's blood boiled again from the questioning, and his face turned terribly black.

Was he the only one who didn't notice?

None of them noticed?!

Now we'll catch him and say it, right?

A murderous intent surged within Wu Zongyuan as he stared intently at the entrance to the secret realm. He was determined to make that person die a horrible death the moment he emerged.

The atmosphere outside the secret passage suddenly became serious. Zhang Shuning was somewhat puzzled by everyone's expressions when she came out, but she didn't ask any questions and strode over to Liu Xingzhi's side.

Seeing that she was alright, Liu Xingzhi glanced at her and then looked towards the exit of the secret realm, while Yue Lin looked at Zhang Shuning several times.

Since Zhang Shuning is alright, we shouldn't rush to take out the recording stone. We should hand it over to our elders when we get back.

……

"System, as soon as I step out, you must immediately teleport me away. There can't be a moment's delay, understand?"

Xiao Heyun checked his disguise. He had come in using this face, and now he would have to use it to get out as well.

After all, his true identity had been exposed, and his appearance would surely attract people who wanted to kill him.

【Host, rest assured! 】

The system seriously agreed, knowing that the current situation was extremely serious and that the host would be in trouble if anything went wrong.

It can't afford to gamble.

After making preparations, Xiao Heyun finally emerged from the exit of the secret realm.

The moment he stretched out one foot, Wu Zongyuan locked onto it.

Then its body and head emerged one after the other, with only half a foot still at the entrance of the cave.

Looking at so many people outside, it would be impossible for him not to panic. Fortunately, the system gave him confidence; otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to face them.

However, just as the system was about to transmit, Wu Zongyuan recognized Xiao Heyun.

"So it was you who impersonated a disciple of my Canglan Sect?" He said as he slapped Xiao Heyun with his palm.

A palm strike belonging to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator was no match for the injured Xiao Heyun.

It's totally vulnerable.

"boom--"

That palm strike shattered his dantian, and his body almost fell apart.

Countless drops of blood gushed out. If the system hadn't immediately activated the teleportation, Xiao Heyun would have been blown to pieces!

"Oh no, he escaped!!!"

Someone shouted as Xiao Heyun suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Heyun has a divine beast on him and is responsible for so many lives of the Canglan Sect. How can we let him get away?
Wu Zongyuan originally thought he could kill him with one palm strike, but he watched helplessly as the man escaped in the chaos, which was like a slap in the face.

Without a second thought, he said, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"

That person was seriously injured and couldn't have gone far.

He was determined to capture the man; even grinding his bones to dust would not quell his hatred.

After saying that, Wu Zongyuan chased after the direction in which Xiao Heyun had disappeared.

"Hiss, who exactly is that person? Is he really a disciple of the Qingyun Sect? He actually managed to dodge Elder Wu's attack!"

"Hmph, that's nothing but a petty trick to show off. Once Elder Wu catches him, he'll be ground to dust!"

"This person is quite capable; hopefully Elder Wu can capture him!"

"What do you mean by that? Does our Elder Wu think he can't even defeat a mere Void Refinement stage cultivator?"

"That's hard to say, after all, he initially infiltrated your team..."

"Can you say that again?"

The disciples quickly started arguing.

Xiao Heyun mingled into their group and entered the secret realm, which had already caused discontent among the group.

While the disciples were arguing, elders from several other sects also followed. Although they said they were going to help, everyone knew that they were going for the divine beast.

If they really had a divine beast in their possession, they certainly wouldn't let Wu Zongyuan take advantage of the situation.

They even suspected that Wu Zongyuan had let Xiao Heyun escape because of the divine beast.

This would give him an excuse to chase after the beast alone and devour it all.

Soon, only Liu Xingzhi, a Nascent Soul stage elder, remained unmoved and continued to wait outside the secret gate.

Jiang Cen hasn't come out yet.

His heart sank. Although he wished Jiang Cen were dead, he was the one who brought him out. If he couldn't bring him back, his master would be furious!
Time passed slowly, and no disciples emerged for quite some time.

Almost everyone assumed there were no living people inside, but then a figure suddenly flew out – it was Jiang Cen.

Jiang Cen was in a terrible state. His clothes were tattered and barely covered his body, revealing his fair skin. His beautiful hair was also disheveled and covered in blood.

Even the bruises on his face lingered for a long time.

When she appeared, many people frowned, after all, she was notorious and not many people liked her.

[Damn it, which bitch attacked me from behind and seriously injured me!]

[And they even stole my storage ring!!]

As soon as Jiang Cen appeared, a voice immediately rang in Song Wanning's mind.

[Holy crap, that bitch Zhang Shuning is still alive? It's true what they say, good people don't live long, but evil ones live on forever!]

[This trip to the secret realm was a huge loss for me! All my treasures are gone, and even my storage ring was stolen!]
