"What?!"

  "Feipeng has already fallen in the secret realm, and it was because of Xiao Ming's actions?!"

  "If you see Xiao Ming come out of the secret realm alive, make sure to use all means to eliminate him. Five Peak Masters are already on their way."

  Receiving these messages, Yun Haifeng's old face was filled with shock.

  He never expected this.

  The strongest prodigy of their Yaokun Sacred Land had died just like that in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm.

  Especially considering he had...

  A Saint King intent gifted by the ancestor!

  With such a trump card.

  He still perished in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm. What on earth happened inside?!

  Not only Yun Haifeng.

  Other Saint Realm experts from various forces also received messages from their sacred lands.

  The content was roughly the same.

  Most of the prodigies who entered the secret realm had fallen.

  They were asked to quickly report if any prodigies from other forces had emerged from the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm.

  If there was anything suspicious, they were allowed to kill them!

  Of course.

  Besides Yun Haifeng and others.

  Ling Ruoxuan and Xu Bicheng also received information from Fuyou Sacred Land, stating that Fuyou's Saint Son Zhang Hao and Chen Pingzhi had fallen, urging them to quickly report what happened inside the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm.

  Did Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang, those two prodigies, make it out alive?

  If these two prodigies could walk out of the secret realm alive, they must be escorted back to Fuyou Sacred Land immediately!

  "Peak Master Ling, what do you think of them?"

  "Something seems off!"

  After reviewing these messages, Xu Bicheng glanced at Yun Haifeng and others, his aged face showing a hint of seriousness.

  Because at that moment.

  He sensed a surge of killing intent from these people, each of them showing disbelief, as if they had received unexpected information.

  Considering the survival rate of numerous prodigies during the previous two millennial cycles.

  Xu Bicheng felt an ominous premonition.

  "It seems likely that the people from the other four major forces have all perished!"

  Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.

  "Next, they might make a move, so cooperate with me to put on a show."

  "Also, don't actually make a move, follow my instructions!"

  When Xu Bicheng realized something was wrong, Ling Ruoxuan also noticed the situation was off and sent a message back to Fuyou Sacred Land.

  She urged them to send Saint Realm experts for support, and then a wave of killing intent erupted from her.

  "How is this possible?!!"

  "Our Fuyou Sacred Land's prodigies have all fallen in the secret realm. Who was the one who harmed them?!"

  "Was it your juniors from Yaokun Sacred Land, or people from Taiyi Sacred Land?!"

  As her words echoed.

  Ling Ruoxuan stepped out from the Tianxuan Sacred Spirit Ship, her gaze coldly fixed on Yun Haifeng and Zhang Tianhong, her Saint Realm eighth-level cultivation bursting forth.

  It seemed if Yun Haifeng and Zhang Tianhong didn't provide an explanation, she would draw her sword without hesitation.

  Being stared down by Ling Ruoxuan's murderous intent, Yun Haifeng and Zhang Tianhong were dumbfounded.

  Fuyou Sacred Land's prodigies had all fallen?

  What was going on?

  They had just received news of their disciples' deaths and hadn't even started questioning when Ling Ruoxuan preemptively challenged them!

  This was completely unexpected!

  "That's exactly what I wanted to ask!"

  "According to the message I just received, our Yaokun Sacred Land's Yun Feipeng died because of Fuyou Sacred Land's Xiao Ming."

  "I haven't even settled accounts with your Fuyou Sacred Land, and you, woman, are already challenging me..."

  After Ling Ruoxuan finished speaking, Yun Haifeng sneered and unleashed his cultivation, his gaze coldly fixed on her.

  But before he could finish speaking.

  Ling Ruoxuan made her move, the power of the Dark Yin exploded from her, and a terrifying sword intent shot skyward.

  "You say Yun Feipeng died because of Xiao Ming?"

  "Then I must ask you, how did Xiao Ming die?!"

  With that.

  Ling Ruoxuan was about to strike with her sword.

  Her demeanor was as if she had lost her mind, causing Yun Haifeng's pupils to shrink.

  "Elder Ling, you must not act!!"

  "The situation is still unclear, and there might still be prodigies alive in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, possibly the true culprit behind the fall of Fuyou Sacred Land's prodigies."

  "Acting now is too rash!!"

  "Moreover..."

  "This place has become chaotic due to the descending tribulation, and if Saint Realm experts fight here, it might provoke the heavens and endanger themselves!!"

  As Ling Ruoxuan was about to act, Xu Bicheng immediately unleashed his cultivation, using his divine abilities to stop her.

  This scene.

  Caused the expressions of the surrounding Saint Realm experts to change unpredictably.

  "Is she panicking?"

  "Did Xiao Ming's death cause her to lose her mind in grief?"

  "Or did this woman realize the unfavorable situation and decided to act first to disrupt the scene?"

  Seeing Ling Ruoxuan's unusual behavior, Ye Zilan's eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze flickering on the Bone White Mystic Ship.

  Based on her senses and the information received, Ye Li hadn't died in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm, only the Saint Son Xue Wuming had.

  It was highly likely...

  That Ye Li killed him and seized the Blood Fiend Sacred Body's essence and a trace of the Blood Fiend Demon God's bloodline.

  Then awakened the ancient demon god bloodline within her.

  If that's the case...

  The person triggering the tribulation might be Ye Li?

  Thinking of this possibility, Ye Zilan's pupils shrank.

  If it were true.

  Ye Li would transform into a perfect vessel, an ideal target for possession or cultivation.

  But just as this thought crossed her mind, a sharp pain suddenly struck her mind.

  She almost spat out blood, her face showing a hint of horror.

  The soul seed she planted in Ye Li's mind had been broken?

  Yet Ye Li hadn't perished...

  Could it be that the person triggering the tribulation was indeed Ye Li, and she used the tribulation to break the soul seed?

  "Interesting... truly interesting..."

  "Hehehe..."

  "Ye Li, you are my carefully cultivated vessel, I won't let you escape my grasp..."

  Thinking of her carefully nurtured vessel becoming more exceptional, Ye Zilan's face showed excitement and anticipation.

  Little did she know...

  Her painstakingly cultivated vessel had already caught the eye of a great terror.

  And as Ye Zilan harbored expectations, Ling Ruoxuan and Yun Haifeng ultimately didn't clash, but the atmosphere remained tense.

  With Xu Bicheng's desperate intervention, Ling Ruoxuan seemed to calm down, her gaze coldly sweeping over everyone.

  "No matter who it is..."

  "If Xiao Ming died because of someone from your sect, I, Ling Ruoxuan, will fight you to the death."

  With that.

  Ling Ruoxuan returned to the Sacred Spirit Ship with a cold face, leaving Yun Haifeng and others with changing expressions.

  They initially thought the prodigy triggering the tribulation in the secret realm might be Fuyou Sacred Land's Xiao Ming, but now it seemed it might not be him.

  Could it be...

  Taiyi Sacred Land's Xiao Ren, or someone from the Nine Nether Demon Gate?

  With that thought.

  Yun Haifeng looked towards Zhang Tianhong and Ye Zilan.

  "Old Ghost Yun, what kind of look is that?"

  "Do you suspect that the person undergoing tribulation in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm is my precious disciple Xiao Ren?"

  After Yun Haifeng looked over, Zhang Tianhong spoke in a deep voice.

  However, as he spoke, his gaze flickered.

  Because he received a message from the Taiyi Sacred Master, claiming that Xiao Ren had developed rebellious thoughts and destroyed an ancestor's remnant soul, and now might have possessed Fuyou Sacred Land's Xiao Ming.

  If they saw Xiao Ming emerge from the secret realm, they must capture him.

  If they couldn't do that.

  They must at least stall Fuyou Sacred Land's people, as Taiyi Sacred Land would send experts to seize him.

  Considering Ling Ruoxuan's reaction, Zhang Tianhong couldn't help but suspect that Xiao Ming had been possessed by Xiao Ren!

  "Hehehe, don't look at us, the Nine Nether Demon Gate also suffered heavy losses, with no survivors."

  "This Protector also wants to know..."

  "Which force's people killed my precious disciple and our sect's Saint Son?"

  After Zhang Tianhong finished speaking, Ye Zilan added to the confusion, making Yun Haifeng's face darken.

  Originally, he planned...

  If the prodigies from the other major forces had died, to join forces with them to challenge the surviving force, but now the situation had become rather convoluted.
