Chapter 168: Ch 168- Secret Realm (14)

The moment everyone saw the dagger in Qin Wushang’s hand, their eyes widened.

They immediately understood what he was relying on.

Mu Shaobei looked at the dagger carefully before saying, "This must have been given to you by your father but are you really going to use something meant to save your life in a dangerous situation just for this treasure?"

"What if we encounter another powerful beast later?"

Qin Wushang smiled.

"Then I’ll rely on you."

He looked at the three of them before continuing, "Besides, it’s not like I won’t get another life-saving treasure after leaving this Secret Realm. My father is a Sovereign Realm cultivator. We should make use of our family’s connections when we can."

He then looked at the others and chuckled.

"Also, don’t look at me like that. Don’t you all have similar life-saving treasures given to you by your fathers?"

Hearing this, the others fell silent.

Qin Wushang was right.

Their fathers were all powerful Sovereign Realm cultivators, so it was only natural that they had been given some life-saving treasures before entering the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm was extremely dangerous and none of their families would allow their heirs to enter without some protection.

Mu Shaobei finally nodded.

"Fine. After you use your life-saving treasure, stay with me. I’ll protect you if we encounter any danger."

He then looked toward the flower.

"But I want one petal."

Qin Wushang nodded without hesitation.

"No problem. I’ll give you one."

As for Mu Qingying and Bai Ningning, neither of them said anything.

They had not contributed anything to obtaining the treasure, so they naturally had no reason to demand a share.

Qin Wushang turned his attention back toward the sleeping vulture, then he slowly raised the dagger and aimed it at the massive beast.

The next moment, he released his grip.

Whoosh!

The small black dagger shot into the sky.

It moved so quickly that it seemed to turn into a streak of black light. At the same time, a terrifying Sword Intent suddenly erupted from the dagger.

The surrounding air trembled and the sleeping vulture had barely opened its eyes when the dagger had already reached it.

A terrifying sword light flashed and the 200-meter-tall body of the vulture was instantly split in half.

Blood sprayed across the giant nest.

The vulture did not even have enough time to let out a cry before its life disappeared.

The dagger then hit the mountain behind the nest and with a boom the whole mountain shook.

Then the dagger lost its luster immediately fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

Mu Shaobei’s expression became serious.

"Quickly! Get the flower and leave. Don’t forget to take the corpse too."

Qin Wushang nodded.

He immediately rushed forward.

His figure shot toward the mountain at an astonishing speed. In only a short time, he reached the giant nest.

He first stored the corpse of the vulture inside his storage ring.

Then he carefully approached the Six-Leaf Ascension Flower.

The flower was extremely valuable, so Qin Wushang was careful not to damage even a single petal.

After storing it, he quickly returned.

Within a few minutes, he was back beside the others.

Mu Shaobei immediately said, "Let’s leave before another beast comes here."

Everyone nodded and then they quickly left the area.

None of them noticed that several powerful auras had already begun moving toward the mountain after sensing the commotion.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Secret Realm, seven days had passed.

During these seven days, Mo Yuan had continued searching for treasures with the Golden Mouse.

With the mouse’s knowledge of the Secret Realm and his own strength, their harvest had been enormous.

Mo Yuan had collected many different treasures.

Some could improve his cultivation, some could strengthen his body and others could be used for healing or protecting one’s soul.

After checking everything he had collected, Mo Yuan was confident that he already had enough resources to cultivate all the way to the Peak Origin Lord Realm.

Of course, reaching the Sovereign Realm was another matter.

That would require much more energy and resources.

Right now, Mo Yuan and the Golden Mouse were heading toward another treasure.

According to the mouse, this treasure was guarded by a powerful vulture.

The two were still some distance away from their destination when Mo Yuan suddenly stopped.

Boom!

A powerful explosion came from far ahead and the sound echoed through the mountains.

The Golden Mouse was the first to react.

"Senior, I think there’s a fight happening over there."

Mo Yuan nodded and then he looked toward the direction of the sound.

’Are there humans there?’

He frowned slightly.

A Peak Realm beast was not something an ordinary cultivator could fight like origin soul realm could fight.

Mo Yuan’s curiosity was immediately aroused then he glanced at the Golden Mouse.

"Let’s go take a look."

"Yes, Senior!"

The Golden Mouse quickly followed.

The two immediately changed direction and rushed toward the location were the sound came from.

Soon, Mo Yuan and the Golden Mouse reached the location.

The moment they arrived, Mo Yuan immediately noticed the huge nest at the edge of the mountain.

However, the massive vulture that was supposed to be guarding the treasure was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, blood had covered the ground around the nest.

The Golden Mouse quickly looked around before its eyes lit up.

"Senior, I think the vulture has been killed."

It then looked toward the centre of the nest.

"And the Six Leaf Ascension flower is gone too."

The Golden Mouse immediately activated its Treasure Finder Talent.

A faint golden light flashed through its eyes as it carefully sensed the surroundings.

A few seconds later, it suddenly pointed toward a certain direction.

"They went that way!"

Mo Yuan looked in the direction the Golden Mouse was pointing.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Someone had arrived before them and taken the Six Leaf Ascension Flower.

’Who could it be?’

Mo Yuan became curious.

He had not expected anyone to arrive at this place before him, especially since the Golden Mouse knew the location.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mo Yuan suddenly sensed several powerful auras approaching from the distance.

He turned his head and saw several high-realm beasts were rushing toward the nest.

They had clearly sensed the battle from earlier and were coming to investigate.

Mo Yuan’s eyes flashed.

He did not intend to waste time fighting all of them.

The Golden Mouse could track the people who had taken the flower, so there was no need to chase them immediately.

Instead, Mo Yuan slowly summoned his saber.

The moment the saber appeared in his hand, his aura changed.

His Ultimate Strength Talent activated.

Boom!

A terrifying force erupted from his body.

Then Blood Saber Intent spread out around him, turning the air around his body slightly red, then his eyes and hair turned red.

At the same time, Primordial Qi surged through his body.

Mo Yuan took a deep breath.

This was the first time he was going to use all his strength in a single saber strike.

’Let’s see how powerful my full-strength attack has become.’

His eyes became sharp and then he raised his saber.

’Boundless Saber Art’

For a brief moment, everything around him seemed to become quiet.

Then Mo Yuan swung his saber.

Boom!

A terrifying red saber light shot forward.

The speed was so fast that it instantly broke through the sound barrier, creating a massive sonic boom that echoed across the mountains.

The saber light tore through the air and rushed directly toward the group of high-realm beasts that were approaching.

The beasts had only just noticed the terrifying attack when the red streak was already in front of them.

Boom!

The saber strike descended from the sky and slammed into the ground.
