Wild Dogs

Chapter 142

Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine after just one glance.

What's going on?

He looked around and found himself all alone.

That's impossible. We jumped into this passage together when we came in, so how come there's no one around us?

Yang Fan scratched his head in surprise, then he remembered what Xue Ming had said before.

Yes, all the cultivators who entered the passage were randomly distributed to various corners of the abyss.

Clearly, this place is somewhere within the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm.

This relieved Yang Fan slightly. As long as Xue Ming wasn't around, he might be able to do something sneaky.

As soon as this thought arose, Yang Fan prepared to make a move, but then he stopped.

No, there must be a reason why Xue Ming dared to let him come in alone first.

Moreover, considering the mark Xue Ming had left on him, Yang Fan shook his head.

We absolutely must not act rashly; we must wait and see.

With that in mind, Yang Fan patiently stood still.

Since Xue Ming dared to leave a mark on him, he should have been able to find his location after entering and then come looking for him.

If I wander off at this point and anger this person, I'll be in trouble.

Although I need to fight for a chance to survive, I should be more cautious for now in the face of overwhelming strength.

Besides, this is a secret realm; perhaps there's an escape route inside.

Just as Yang Fan was pondering this, he heard a sharp gust of wind coming from the side.

Yang Fan looked in that direction and then saw a blood-red whirlwind sweeping past him at an extremely fast speed.

The blood-red whirlwind was accompanied by bursts of howling, sounding like vengeful ghosts.

Yang Fan couldn't help but shudder, a strange thought rising in his mind.

Yes, quite a few cultivators have died in this place.

Although the Xuan Yuan Secret Realm was originally a place for cultivators to train, quite a few cultivators have died here.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan lowered his head and picked up a piece of sand.

Then he gently squeezed, and the sand and stones were easily crushed.

Yang Fan stared at the sand and stones, and after a long while, his expression changed.

At that moment, he finally realized that the rumors were true.

According to rumors, this place was once a scene of carnage, with mountains of corpses and seas of blood flowing like a river, staining the rivers surrounding the secret realm red.

Now it seems it really is true.

He was shocked to discover, after crushing the sand and stones, that the red color inside was actually blood.

Upon seeing this, Yang Fan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

The blood had even stained the sand and stones here red, a testament to just how brutal the great battle back then must have been.

Yang Fan shook his head repeatedly. For him, the meaning of such a brutal battle was all too clear.

That would mean this place must be full of corpses and wronged souls.

After the bloody whirlwind passed, Yang Fan continued to look at the Jingguan (a mound of corpses) in the distance.

Looking at the towers made of skulls, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

This is truly cruel and heartless; I just don't know how all these heads were piled up.

Was it to deter newcomers from engaging in bloodshed, thus reducing the killing by the nearby cultivation community?

Just as Yang Fan was pondering, he suddenly turned around.

Then they saw a figure flying towards the abyss in the far distance.

Yang Fan quickly crouched down, trying his best not to attract the other party's attention.

Fortunately, the person was clearly a Core Formation cultivator, and he could sense the other's aura even from a great distance.

Clearly, this person had also discovered Yang Fan's whereabouts.

He glanced in this direction, then ignored Yang Fan and rushed straight into the abyss.

Seeing this, Yang Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then gave a helpless bitter smile.

He is currently only at the first level of Qi Refining, making him utterly vulnerable in the eyes of these Core Formation cultivators.

Therefore, these Core Formation cultivators had no intention of dealing with Yang Fan at all.

This made Yang Fan secretly rejoice; his disguise had indeed been effective.

After a while, Yang Fan saw that the person had flown into the abyss and disappeared.

Seeing this, Yang Fan nodded. It seemed that the dangers in this Xuan Yuan Secret Realm were indeed not simple.

However, after such a long time, he finally saw a cultivator. Perhaps the entire Xuan Yuan Secret Realm is larger than he imagined.

Yang Fan was lost in thought.

He thought Xue Ming would arrive soon, but he waited for two hours and Xue Ming still hadn't arrived.

This made him somewhat anxious. Could it be that Xue Ming had already been killed inside?

After this thought crossed his mind, Yang Fan's heart pounded wildly.

If Xue Ming is really dead, he won't enter that so-called Xuan Yuan.

He will stay near the entrance and wait quietly for ten days.

Once the ten days are up, the exit will open, and he will escape through it.

Thinking this, Yang Fan suddenly felt a little eager to try.

But just as he was looking forward to it, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his shoulder.

Yang Fan's expression changed. Clearly, Xue Ming was using some method to sense his location.

This greatly disappointed Yang Fan. He had thought Xue Ming was dead, but he never expected that the guy was still alive.

Yang Fan shook his head slightly, sighed, and lowered his head.

Just like that, after a short while, a streak of blood-red light flew over from afar at an extremely fast speed.

A moment later, the blood-red light stopped in front of Yang Fan.

Seeing Yang Fan standing obediently in place, Xue Ming was very satisfied.

"Very good, you didn't play any tricks and stayed in the same place without moving. I'm very satisfied."

Upon hearing this, Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine, but he quickly bowed to the other party repeatedly.

"Master, rest assured, I will never leave if I say I won't."

"Yes, your loyalty is naturally beyond question, I am very satisfied."

Xue Ming nodded and gave a thumbs-up, then looked around.

"By the way, you've been here so long, have you seen any other cultivators passing by?"

Yang Fan was taken aback, then realized that Xue Ming was obviously asking if there were any powerful enemies.

Yang Fan's mind raced. He initially wanted to tell a lie, but upon closer reflection, he realized that now was not the time for a fight, and there was no need to say such a thing.

He nodded slightly.

"Yes, I saw a cultivator fly inside earlier, but he completely ignored me."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ming nodded slightly.

"Of course, a cultivator of your strength wouldn't attract anyone's attention."

Yang Fan was somewhat embarrassed and couldn't help but laugh or cry.

Although he knew it was true, it was still somewhat embarrassing to be told that by Xue Ming to his face.

Xue Ming patted him on the shoulder.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Let's go, I'll take you to the Mysterious Abyss Realm."

Yang Fan looked around in surprise.

"Isn't this the Mysterious Abyss Realm?"

Xue Ming laughed.

"This place is certainly a Mysterious Abyss Realm, but the real treasures aren't here."
