Chapter 2796 - 2799: More Seeking Death: Yun Lan’s Trap

"Hahaha, in the past, I definitely wouldn’t be partial, but over the years, I’ve seen through it all.

Fairness and justice are all nonsense.

Everyone tends to favor those closest to them more, and if I didn’t do that as a teacher, it would only chill my disciple’s heart!"

Chen Buyi seemed to have grown as well, but this world has forced people to become like this.

"First, I think what you should pay attention to is to try and merge with Mu Qing.

Mu Qing is not entering the Devil Sea Secret Realm for the first time; she’s quite familiar with the situation inside.

By following her, you can familiarize yourself with the environment more easily.

And don’t blame me for not warning you, this time entering the Devil Sea Secret Realm involves thirty-three martial artists, and with you included, it’s thirty-four.

Besides Mu Qing, the others are all from Yun Zhong Feng and those elders, they will definitely team up against you, only Mu Qing might help you."

Chen Buyi said.

"Seems like another tough battle, but disciple has faced many of these before, it’s nothing, and I wouldn’t want to involve Mu Qing."

Ling Xiao’s thoughts were different from Chen Buyi’s; he didn’t want to drag Mu Qing into enmity with other high-ranking disciples because of his own affairs.

"As you wish, next, I’ll tell you about the specifics of the Devil Sea Secret Realm.

This Devil Sea Secret Realm was formed a long time ago when an anomaly descended from the heavens, and the Devil Sea dried up, creating the secret realm.

When I first entered it, I conducted some surveys. Inside the secret realm, due to some kind of special demon energy, a very powerful elemental monster beast was born, known as the ’Magic Sea Giant Beast.’

Within the Magic Sea Giant Beast, magic crystal stones can form.

Only by killing them can you obtain the magic crystal stones.

Previously, I told you that whoever obtains the most magic crystal stones can become the big winner of this Devil Sea Secret Realm trial.

You don’t need to take first place; just getting third place will give you the qualification to cultivate ’Magic Dragon Possession.’

"What is the strength of the Magic Sea Giant Beast?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Generally, it’s one-star Eleven Layer Hell late-stage in strength, and that’s why only high-ranking disciples are qualified to enter the trial.

Some mutated Magic Sea Giant Beasts have strength reaching the Eleven Layer Hell pinnacle, and their magic crystal stones become two.

The most terrifying are the Magic Sea Beast Kings; when encountered, try to avoid them because those guys have the fearsome strength of one-star Twelfth Level Hell.

However, the magic crystal stones within the Magic Sea Beast King are also called King Crystal Stones, which count as dozens or even hundreds of ordinary magic crystal stones, depending on the Beast King’s strength.

Also, the reason I don’t let you enter the core area is that it houses the leader of all Magic Sea Giant Beasts—the Magic Sea Beast Emperor. Its strength is something I deeply fear, so even I haven’t visited that place.

Chen Buyi explained thoroughly, fearing Ling Xiao might not understand.

It’s evident he genuinely cares for and cherishes Ling Xiao.

"Is there no crystal stone within the Magic Sea Beast Emperor?"

Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"That, I don’t know. So far, no one has been able to kill the Magic Sea Beast Emperor, let alone obtain its magic crystal stones."

Chen Buyi shook his head and said, "You better not treat my words as wind at your ears."

"Rest assured, Master, do I seem like someone reckless?"

Ling Xiao smiled.

"Definitely, tell you the truth, when you went to rescue me, I was really startled. You are too impulsive. If anything went wrong, I wouldn’t mind dying, but if you died, I would truly despair."

Chen Buyi smiled bitterly, "Alright, let’s not talk about that. Do you have any other questions? I’ll tell you."

"Not for now."

Ling Xiao replied.

"That’s fine then, I shall return to the Sect Master’s Hall first. My adopted sons and daughters have suffered so much, it’s time they enjoyed some benefits.

All those years, it was Yun Zhong Feng sheltering his people, do they really think I wouldn’t be partial as well?"

Chen Buyi rose and left.

Inside Demon Child Hall, once again, only Ling Xiao, Xiao Jin, and the unconscious Heiye Wuxing remained.

Thankfully, a Yin Yang Realm Martial Artist doesn’t need to eat for one or two years and won’t die; otherwise, Heiye Wuxing’s situation would truly be worrying.

"Xiao Jin, you stay here first, I’m going to check the Trade Hall for any medicinal materials, the Mountain Master can’t stay unconscious forever."

As for the Devil Sea Secret Realm, Ling Xiao wasn’t too concerned anymore.

He had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Besides, he could bring Xiao Jin along; the two brothers working together, who could oppose them?

"Alright, Boss, go ahead, anyway those useless bunch won’t be able to break through the Demon Child Hall’s array formation."

Xiao Jin nodded.

Ling Xiao left Demon Child Hall, originally planning to go straight to the Trade Hall, but suddenly a cold wind swept in from afar.

He frowned, reached out, and caught the thing.

"A hairpin?"

Ling Xiao looked at the item in his hand, it was indeed a hairpin, but wrapped around it was a note.

He unfolded the note and upon seeing the words inside, his brows immediately furrowed tight—

"The Red Demoness is in my hands, meet at Ghost Gazing Slope southwest outside Demon Dragon City!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao realized that this hairpin was indeed the Red Demoness’s.

Unexpectedly, the Red Demoness had just returned, and someone had already used her to threaten him.

Looks like, within the Demon Dragon Sect, there truly aren’t a few people who hold grudges against him.

"Hopefully, she’s alright, otherwise, it doesn’t matter who you are, I swear I’ll kill you!"

Outside Demon Dragon City at Ghost Gazing Slope, that was a very famous place, and Ling Xiao knew it well.

He left the city and arrived at the foot of Ghost Gazing Slope as quickly as possible.

On that slope, there was an old tree.

At that moment, a rope hung from the old tree, with the Red Demoness suspended upside down from it.

It was clear the Red Demoness wasn’t dead, but she had suffered greatly.

Seeing Ling Xiao, the Red Demoness shouted hoarsely, "No, don’t come over!"

Evidently, this was a trap, an ambush.

Someone wanted Ling Xiao’s life but couldn’t act within the Demon Dragon Sect, so they led Ling Xiao outside Demon Dragon City, using the Red Demoness as bait.

But Ling Xiao didn’t heed the Red Demoness’s words.

Seeing how the Red Demoness was beaten black and blue all over, Ling Xiao felt a storm of fury brewing inside him.

If he knew who did it, he ensured that person would die!

No matter what!

He leaped forward, embraced the Red Demoness, and cut off the rope suspending her.

But just then, around them suddenly appeared a red glow, wrapping the two inside it.

From within the red glow, they could see outside.

The hidden figure behind it finally emerged.

Leading the group was actually Yun Lan.

The others with him were clearly experts Yun Lan had invited; they were unfamiliar faces Ling Xiao hadn’t seen before.
