Chapter 138: Return!

  "In the past, when facing humans, we could negotiate prices, launch surprise attacks, and play mind games. There was always a chance to survive. But this time, one wrong step would mean death with no place for burial! To be honest, if it weren't for you leading us all the way, I'm afraid we would have died countless times already."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, and without mentioning anything else, just that one time at the imperial palace, it was almost as if Xia Lin single-handedly held his ground!

  This strength, who can rival!

  "Don't belittle yourself, at least for now, your strength is the strongest." Xia Lin said with a smile.

  Huo Jian curled his lips and then smiled: "That's not necessarily true, who knows what strength you've hidden. However, this time out, I'm afraid I'll have to go into seclusion too."

  "Huh? Just broke through and then closed up?" Xia Lin wondered.

  He nodded: "First, to consolidate the power of Qingyun's second transformation. Second, through this battle, we know that even with the power of Qingyun's second transformation, it is really too weak! Faced with such a crisis, we are equally helpless."

  "Them?" Xia Lin's sharp ears picked up on what he said.

  "And me." A white-haired old man floated over with a carefree expression.

  "And me." It was the voice of the red-haired old monster.

  It's clear that these three people were quite familiar with each other in their daily lives, seeming like both enemies and friends. This time's events finally made them become friends.

  "Hmm." Xia Lin smiled and said, "The three of you together, this strength is indeed terrifying."

  Huo Jian also felt quite pleased with himself, but still said: "Our breakthrough couldn't have been done without your guidance at the time, plus those few times you saved our lives... Heaven, I'm afraid we can't repay your kindness in this lifetime."

  Huo Jian said with a worried expression.

  Xia Lin patted his shoulder, "Don't mind it, if we meet again someday, we'll exchange again."

  Huo Jian nodded, "I've made friends with you!"

  Bai Fa Mo Tian and Hong Fa Lao Guai also nodded in agreement, apparently, Xia Lin's actions along the way had already gained their recognition. Xia Lin's own terrifying strength, as well as the many powerful individuals backing him, were worth winning over.

  "Alright, from now on we're friends!"

  "Ha ha! Let's go! Leave this Yellow Spring Secret Realm, we'll meet again if fate permits!"

  Everyone burst out laughing. Then they rushed up, and at this time everyone was close to the water's surface, soon they would be on top of it.

  Looking around at the people, Xia Lin felt a daze, as if he had entered the Yellow Spring water, it was like a dream!

  Who would have thought that they went down for just one day, yet experienced so many things? And at this time, with the collapse of the anti-world, everything also disappeared into thin air. No one knew that there was once an inverted world where Xia Lin led countless warriors to slaughter in all directions!

  A complex expression flashed across everyone's eyes, and a dreamlike state of mind was also born.

  "This should... be a memorable secret realm." Xia Lin looked around at the crowd.

  His father remained calm as ever, seemingly nothing could shake his mood after his mother's death.

  Lu'er pinched the hem of her clothes, as if following herself, and was no longer afraid of anything.

  Yu Lian was playing with the pair of knives in her hand, lost in thought.

  Dongfang Xuan was carelessly appreciating the surrounding scenery.

  The rest of the people in Heifeng Village showed a look of surprise, apparently the joy of escaping from death, finally leaving the strange and mysterious place. It can be inferred that they would not dare to enter the secret realm again for the rest of their lives.

  Although this Yellow Spring Secret Realm is so special.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  A head suddenly popped out, floating on the surface of the water, and the survivors finally came out.

  "Haha, I've made it out alive!" a martial artist in the Condensing Sea realm exclaimed with wild joy.

  "I've also managed to survive!"

  One by one, the warriors appeared, and everyone was overjoyed.

  The people of Heifeng Village emerged from the water with a defensive posture, but as soon as they broke through the surface, Xia Lin instinctively felt that something was off. Opening his eyes to look around, he was immediately shocked.

  "What's going on?!"

  The crowd came back to their senses from their wild joy, looked up and were also shocked.

  The Yellow River water has turned red!

  Bloody!

  "What's going on?" a warrior in the Condensed Sea Realm exclaimed in terror. "No, no, something unexpected can't be happening again!"

  As soon as one sentence came out, many people were also worried, apparently, the variables of the Yellow Spring Secret Realm had become a nightmare-like existence along the way.

  Glancing over, Xia Lin shook his head: "It won't work, the Huangquan Secret Realm has already ended, and with the collapse of the Reverse World, it's completely finished. As for this red..."

  Although it was extremely weak, Xia Lin's super strong five senses still caught something, "This is blood!"

  "What?"

  Everyone was shocked and asked, "How can there be blood here? It has been washed clean to a red color, how many people must have died? Moreover, there is not even a hint of the smell of blood, what's going on?"

  Xia furrowed his brow, he always felt that he had missed something very important, but couldn't quite recall it. Just as he was getting anxious, he looked up at the surrounding cave and suddenly had an epiphany - he remembered!

  "Jiuyoutai! Has anyone of you ever seen Jiuyoutai?"

  Everyone was shocked, it turned out that they had escaped all the way and forgotten about this thing. However, on the way up, they didn't see it either. With the disappearance of the reverse world, the dazzling green dividing line also disappeared, and naturally, everyone didn't notice.

  "Normally, the Anti-World should have disappeared and Jiuyou Tower should be submerged in the river. This movement is absolutely not small! However, we haven't seen anything, which means there's only one possibility: Jiuyou Tower has already been destroyed." Xia Lin analyzed coldly, "And for Jiuyou Tower to be destroyed, unless that Fourth-Rank Mysterious Treasure is no longer present... Only it has the power to destroy Jiuyou Tower."

  "That's a fourth-grade Xuanbao, how can those Condensed Sea Realm cultivators control it?" Huo Jian furrowed his brow.

  Xia Lin sighed and said, "You forgot one person, Jiang He!"

  "Jiang He?!" The crowd was stunned, and only then did they remember that at the time, because of their confrontation with Xia Lin, Jiang He had slipped through the net.

  "In other words, this kid got the Fourth-Rank Mysterious Treasure?" The red-haired old freak was furious, and it was obvious that whoever knew that they had risked their lives to get there, only for someone who had been waiting idly to reap the greatest benefits, would naturally be enraged.

  Xia Lin shook his head: "That Xuan Bao... I always feel that there's something wrong. Think about it, even the Ling Cao has a problem, would Qi Tian leave a Xuan Bao behind? What if someone else takes it away, wouldn't that be a big trouble when fighting him?"

  Xia Lin analyzed, and everyone was deep in thought.

  "And... " Xia Lin paused for a moment, "if this entire river were to be dyed red, how many of those warriors would remain?"

  Everyone was shocked in an instant.

  A warrior of the Condensed Sea Boundary swallowed his saliva: "That, Jiang He, I've had contact with him before. Although he's got a bad temper, he doesn't seem like the kind to commit regicide."

  Xia Lin said coldly, "You guys don't seem like the type to easily go crazy either, but aren't you still going crazy? Jiang He isn't too likely, but that Xuan Bao... what if he's also having the same problem as those spiritual herbs?"

  Everyone felt a chill run down their spine; this Yellow Spring Secret Realm was too dangerous!

  "Ah."

  Xia Lin let out a sigh of relief, Jiang He... This idiot won't really be killed by a mere weapon, will he?

  "Let's go, everything will be clear once we're out." Xia Lin said calmly.

  Everyone nodded in agreement and one by one they burst out of the water, borrowing force from the surrounding rocks to propel themselves upward, instantly reaching the mountaintop!

  Here is the weakest, also the condensation boundary, go up and it's done, naturally light and easy. And at the very top, a canyon-like crack appeared, walking through this gap, going out is the Yin-Yang Mountain.

  Light footsteps, fleeting figures, people rushed past, seven days later, people returned.

  ……

  "Boom——"

  The sky above the Yin-Yang Mountain was empty, but a loud thunder suddenly boomed in the clear blue sky, shaking the heavens. The crowd surrounding the area was momentarily blinded by the flash, and the secret realm of Huangquan was about to come to an end!

  "Hurry, they're coming out!"

  "Go, stop them."

  "Hmph, a bunch of rabble, this time, make them spit out everything they've swallowed."

  Countless warriors stood outside the secret realm, staring at the split crack. Here should be the final exit, and as long as they wait for someone to come out, they can take it by storm.

  Although it's too late to catch up with the secret realm, being able to snatch the treasure away is also a wonderful thing.

  No matter when, the strong are always respected, it's an iron law!

  Without absolute strength, even if you're lucky enough to obtain a treasure in a secret realm, the outcome will still be death.

  At this time, the warriors of the Return to Origin Realm and the Condensed Sea Realm surrounded them from all sides, clearly having absolute confidence in themselves. The strength of the Return to Origin Realm warriors was strong, but their vision was not ordinary, while the remaining ones were naturally being robbed by the Condensed Sea Realm. Especially among several peak warriors of the Condensed Sea Realm, they were now calmly staring at the Rift Valley, as if about to walk out were delicious foods.

  It's just a pity that food is also divided into many types, some are Manchu full courses, and some may be just mantou and salted vegetables.

  "Crack."

  A crisp footstep sounded, coming from the gap in the canyon, a figure floated out, with a steady pace.

  Everyone involuntarily raised their heads and took a look, and suddenly their hearts were startled.

  Return to innocence!

  The first person to come out was actually the Return to Origin Realm!

  The two strong men guarding the gate suddenly looked around, but in an instant they became excited. Behind that warrior's back was a blood-red long spear with bloodstains all over it, looking quite terrifying. What excited them, however, was that the long spear was actually a fourth-grade Xuanbao!

  Four Products of the Mysterious Treasure... Two Return to Yuan Boundary strong practitioners exchanged a glance, sizing up each other's strength. Both of them were at the peak of the Blue Clouds' transformation, and that martial artist was also at the peak of the Blue Clouds' transformation, plus a Four Products of the Mysterious Treasure!

  The two men locked eyes, and in an instant, they had already made a decision. First, kill this warrior, then discuss the distribution of the Xuan Treasure. A young warrior who suddenly changed his appearance burst out with the power of a fourth-grade Xuan Treasure, and neither of them was confident that they could win alone.

  It seemed that he noticed the gaze of the two, and the warrior slowed down his footsteps, slightly raising his head.

  A crimson glow flashed into his eyes, a fierce and violent killing intent burst forth, almost drowning everyone.

  Everyone was shocked, this murderous intention——how many people have been killed?!
