I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World
Chapter 54 A Close Call
"You all performed well this time, this is a reward from the sect."
An attendant approached Ma Ke and his group of outer disciples, waved his hand, and gave each of them a bottle of healing pills and ten mid-grade spirit stones.
Ma Ke, like the other disciples, happily accepted it. After all, it was something he had risked his life for, and for outer disciples, it was a considerable fortune.
At the same time, the three sects, Wanfu Sect, Tiankui Sect, and Tianyu Sect, had secretly told them the location of the spiritual materials they wanted to collect in Qimen Valley. Under the supervision of the other sects, Qimen Valley sent three early-stage Golden Core cultivators into the secret realm.
"In that case, our Ziyang Sect will take the lead." As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zongyan's figure disappeared.
Clearly, the sect leader of Ziyang Sect has come in person, but the goal of this trip to the secret realm has not yet been achieved, and he is unwilling to stay any longer.
As the leader, Lei Yunhe immediately summoned the rest of the group to board the ship. Ma Ke then went back into the lower cabin assigned to the outer disciples, which was now much more spacious.
The losses suffered by outer disciples were far more severe than those of inner disciples, but few people cared.
"We'll take our leave too." Seeing the Ziyang Sect leave, Xiong Bi didn't linger. Anyway, there were still the garrison elders here, so he wasn't afraid of the other sects causing any trouble.
Not long after, the Giant Sword Pavilion's fleet also took off, and the inner disciples who entered the secret realm removed their masks.
Xiong Kai glanced around casually and was taken aback: "Where is Junior Sister Yu Feng?"
This is Junior Brother Wang's own daughter. Although he didn't specifically instruct me to take care of her, if something really happens to her, I wouldn't know how to explain it to Junior Brother Wang.
"Where is Wang Yufeng? Has anyone seen her?" So he immediately stepped forward and asked.
The disciples looked at each other, shook their heads, and indicated that they were not with Senior Sister Wang either.
Someone said, "Senior Brother Wu and Junior Brother Cui were with Senior Sister Wang, but we didn't see them either."
"Who else is on Yu Feng's team?" Xiong Kai pressed.
No one answered, and Xiong Kai's heart sank. Could it be that the entire team had died in the secret realm?
"Sect Master, perhaps some outer disciples know," a Golden Core elder hurriedly said.
Because the outer disciples make up the largest group, if a conflict breaks out, they will all scatter, and perhaps some will survive.
"Go check it out immediately," Xiong Kai said.
Not long after, the Golden Core elder indeed brought back news.
"I hereby inform Pavilion Master Xiong that Junior Nephew Wang and the other five disciples were all killed by that person from Qimen Valley."
"What? Didn't you say that person only wanted money and wouldn't kill?" Xiong Kai questioned sharply.
The elder said, "It was Junior Nephew Wang who first led a group of people from Qimen Valley to attack and kill them. Then that person suddenly appeared, and Junior Nephew Wang and his men were no match for him."
Clearly, the outer disciples wisely concealed Wang Yufeng's plan to humiliate Lin Qingtong, as it was a very disgraceful act.
"Did Yu Feng not reveal her identity?"
"It's lit up, and they even used the Soul-Chasing Bead, but that person still showed no mercy and struck a vicious blow."
"You Qimen Valley!" Xiong Kai was furious. How dare a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator be so audacious.
"Since Yu Feng has been dead for several days, why hasn't the sect sent a message to inform us?"
If I had been told earlier, I could have questioned them on the spot. But now that I've already left the secret realm, do I have to turn back for this?
Even if they turned back and concealed the fact that they had attacked first, could they really expect Qimen Valley to hand over the person in public? That would make the Giant Sword Pavilion seem too domineering, since fighting each other in the secret realm is allowed.
Just as he was struggling with this thought, he saw a figure rushing towards him from a distance. Who else could it be but Junior Brother Wang?
Xiong Kai immediately activated the protective array on the spirit boat, and Wang Tiancheng, whose face was a little pale, staggered onto the deck.
Xiong Kai was immediately startled: "Junior Brother Wang, what's going on?"
"Feng'er is dead. I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time, so I burned my life essence," Wang Tiancheng replied breathlessly.
"Oh dear, why didn't you tell me beforehand? I could have sought justice from Qimen Valley. I only noticed that Junior Nephew Wang hadn't returned when these disciples took off their masks," Xiong Kai sighed.
Wang Tiancheng took a breath and said with a gloomy expression, "Senior Brother Xiong should know that this matter cannot be handled openly. Qimen Valley cannot hand over its disciples in public for the sake of its reputation."
"Therefore, I have no choice but to come here in person to use the Soul-Chasing Secret Technique to identify the murderer and make it easier to settle accounts with him later."
Xiong Kai nodded silently, it seemed that Junior Brother Wang had not been blinded by anger.
"Senior Brother Xiong, if I'm not mistaken, this trip to the secret realm shouldn't be over yet, right? Why have you already left?" Wang Tiancheng asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Qimen Valley stole the show this time and came out on top. The people from Ziyang Sect had already left, so my father didn't want to stay any longer and left with us as well."
Then, Xiong Kai recounted what had happened again.
"So, Qimen Valley has produced a Qi Refining stage prodigy who can fight several Qi Refining Perfection cultivators alone. No wonder Feng'er was no match for him." Wang Tiancheng's face was extremely ugly.
"The people from Qimen Valley are still outside the secret realm. Let's go back together," Xiong Kai said immediately.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother Xiong." Wang Tiancheng did not refuse, because with Xiong Kai's cover, his appearance there would not arouse too much suspicion.
However, less than a hundred miles from the secret realm, Wang Tiancheng's face turned grim, and the situation he feared most had occurred.
"Junior Brother Wang, have you not sensed this person yet?" Xiong Kai asked hurriedly, because under normal circumstances, the Soul-Chasing Secret Technique of the Golden Core stage can track a target within two hundred miles.
"It may have been erased by the Nascent Soul stage," Wang Tiancheng said through gritted teeth.
Xiong Kai was immediately embarrassed. If he and his group had stayed there, Ling Liyue would not have been able to do this under his nose. But he never expected that his junior disciple Wang would be killed by the other party.
"This is my fault. If I had told Senior Brother Xiong in advance, he wouldn't have left the secret realm first."
Little did he know, the real culprit had already left on the Ziyang Sect's spirit boat.
Xiong Kai immediately reassured him, "Junior Brother Wang, don't worry. Although it's more troublesome without the Soul-Chasing Technique, we still have other ways to find this person."
Wang Tiancheng nodded. The Giant Sword Pavilion had spies planted in various sects, which could secretly investigate which Qi Refining stage disciples had returned to their sects alive, and then eliminate them one by one. Sooner or later, they would be able to find this person.
Moreover, such a prodigious person could not possibly remain hidden forever.
Since that's the case, the two felt there was no need to go to the secret realm again, lest it increase suspicion.
Meanwhile, Ma Ke, far from the secret realm, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that neither the storage bag hidden in my stomach nor the so-called Soul-Chasing Secret Technique on my body has been noticed yet, and I am safe for the time being.
What he didn't know was that the "Open Source Limitless Skill" could only weaken, but not completely conceal, the effects of the Soul-Chasing Secret Technique, since the difference in their cultivation levels was too great.
If the Ziyang Sect hadn't taken the first step, they would have caught him red-handed and found him.
