Chapter 51: Be Cautious in the Inner Sect Trial!

"That kind of thing should be impossible, right?" With some hesitation, the man in gray asken.

Li Xun is a cultivator who is at the peak of Spirit Connection stage, which is not weak, but compared to the three of them, there is a considerable gap. Moreover, we are more than 8,000 miles away from Fallen Leaf City. Does Li Xun even have enough strength and speed to fly here?

"Perhaps, I'm just saying the possibilities, whether it's true or not, we'll know once we go in," Jiang said as he walked forward, he then cautioned the other two people, "Since this secret realm has been opened, it means there must be people inside. We need to be careful."

"Understood," the other two nodded simultaneously.

Soon, the three of them entered the secret realm. At the very moment they entered, they saw a distant mountain peak.

After all, in this secret realm, apart from that solitary mountain peak, there was nothing else worth noting. The three of them proceeded cautiously, and after spending a full quarter of an hour, they arrived at the foot of the mountain. They spread their spiritual awareness and probed towards the mountaintop.

Just as their spiritual awareness expanded to the mountaintop, the three of them's expressions changed simultaneously. Because under their spiritual awareness, they clearly saw a white-clad girl sitting in front of a palace, completely unaware of their arrival, as if she were immersed in cultivation.

"That’s Qin Xueyi!" The man in gray spoke first. Although Qin Xueyi rarely appeared, the three of them had seen her image before; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to come out to chase Qin Xueyi and Li Xun.

"If that girl is here, then that must mean Li Xun should be inside the palace, from the look of it, the two of them have separated, this is simply a heaven sent opportunity!” Said Jiang happily with a smile on his face, after making sure that Qin Xueyi hadn't noticed their presence, Jiang turned his head and gave a signal to the skinny old man beside him.

The skinny old man immediately understood the signal and extended his palm. A radiance flickered in the palm, and after the radiance dissipated, a black rope appeared in his hand, with a dense aura coiling around it. This was the Dragon Binding Rope, once fully entangled around its target, even a Profound Core Realm powerhouse  cultivator could do nothing but wait for their fate.

At the same time, inside the main hall, Li Xun slowly opened his eyes, his pupils extremely clear and filled with divine light. He glanced at the stone tub he was sitting on.

At this moment, the Heavenly Heart Stone Milk in the stone tub had been completely refined by him. The massive amount of Heavenly Heart Stone Milk had directly increased his physical quality by a large margin.

Originally, due to the various benefits that he got from his investment, his strength had reached a terrifying level. Now, after absorbing so much Heavenly Heart Stone Milk, his strength has soared, his striking strength has crossed over the 6 Tons mark.

This level of strength was almost inconceivable for cultivators that are in the same realm as he is. Even some ancient divine beast juveniles might not possess such immense strength.

"The Golden Body Technique is now at the perfected stage. Just in terms of strength, I'm afraid not even cultivators who focused on cultivating their body are a match for me.”

Li Xun stood tall, his long hair cascading down. His body emitted a radiant aura, like a top-quality jade, flawless and fair.

"Crack!"

He reached out his hand, and the previously indestructible stone tub, which was as fragile as tofu in his hand, was easily crushed into large pieces.

"No wonder it's called Heavenly Heart Stone Milk. Even my strength has reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Connection Realm," Li Xun praised.

The primary function of Heavenly Heart Stone Milk was to enhance the physical body, but it also provided some improvements in strength, although it was slightly inferior compared to its effects on the physical body.

"I estimate that it won't be long before I can prepare to break through to the Profound Core Realm."

Li Xun stepped out of the stone tub, put on his clothes, and was about to check on Qin Xueyi's condition when his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked towards the outside of the hall.

Under his spiritual awareness, he saw three figures standing at the foot of the mountain, among them, one person had raised a rope and was silently winding it towards Qin Xueyi.

"Not on my watch!" Li Xun shouted. He instantly manifested a long spear in his hand, emitting a radiance that spanned hundreds of feet. In an instant, the world lost its color, and the wind and thunder roared, causing the entire hall to tremble.

"Boom!"

The long spear shot out like a dragon, producing the sound of wind and thunder, and radiated boundless brilliance, swaying with an endless divine radiance.

"Hmm?"

"Something’s not right!"

At the foot of the mountain, Jiang and his two companions watched as the black rope gradually approached Qin Xueyi, seemingly about to entangle her.

But at this critical moment, a fierce aura suddenly erupted from within the hall.

"Boom!"

In the sky, a thunderous sound resounded as a silver-white long spear collided with the black rope, erupting with endless radiance that was dazzling to the eyes. Amidst the radiant display, the long spear, like a dragon, pierced through the sky, breaking through the clouds and moon, accompanied by a piercing roar, it shot down rapidly.

"Save m-"

The old man who had summoned the rope only managed to utter a cry before abruptly falling silent.

"Splurt!"

The long spear pierced through his body, and with a huge impact, his body was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing into the ground with a resounding thud.

Blood flowed, the spear handle trembled, creating a tragic and beautiful scene.

Seeing this, the other two were horrified, their scalps tingling, and they shivered uncontrollably.

Just moments ago, the old man had been alive and well, but in the blink of an eye, he was nailed to the ground.

You have to understand, this old man was a Profound Core Realm powerhouse.

Yet, despite his strength, when facing this spear, the old man could do nothing, of course, it’s mostly because the old man is careless and is not fast enough to dodge the spear.

But at the same time, it also showed the opponent's strength was not to be underestimated.

"You are… The Chen Clan people?" A cold voice rang out.

As the words fell, in front of the two men, an extra figure appeared, and no one saw how he had arrived; he seemed to have been standing there all along, making people feel hopeless.

This kind of elusive movement technique was the first time Jiang and the others had seen it.

"Lord Li..."

Jiang struggled to force a smile and bowed, saying, "It was all a misunderstanding earlier. We accidentally intruded here and didn't intend to be enemies with Lord Li."

"Please, Lord Li, spare us."

At this moment, Jiang had cursed the servants of the Qin Clan who had given him the information a hundred times in his heart.

Is this the guy who you said strong enough to beat a Profound Core realm cultivator powerhouse?

What a load of bullshit!

Rather than beating, it’s more apt to call it a slaughter!! There was a world of difference between defeating and slaughtering a Profound Core cultivator!

If they had known that Li Xun had possessed such powerful strength, even if thye are granted with ten times the rewards that they had been given, they still wouldn't have dared to chase after Li Xun.

"Indeed, you guys are really from the Chen Clan."

Hearing Jiang's words, Li Xun turned around and said indifferently, "Since you dare to start it, don’t stop halfway through.”

Despite the indifferent tone of his voice, Li Xun's words still send chills to their spine.

"Run!" Without commenting anything to Li Xun word, Jiang roared toward his companion and flew toward the exit without looking back.

"Why the haste?" Li Xun stepped out, caught up to Jiang, and with a clenched fist, he swung it forcefully, causing a thunderous sound as a million jin of force instantly burst forth, smashing into Jiang's back.

Hit by such a heavy force, Jiang felt as if he had been struck by a mountain, and he vomited blood before being sent flying, lifeless.

Then, Li Xun extended his hand, beckoned, and the Broken Cloud Spear flew from a distance into his hand. He threw it again.

"Buzz!"

"Splurt!"

The Broken Cloud Spear arrived before its sound, instantly piercing through the last man in gray.

With that, all three of them were wiped out!

"Seriously, if you two had just talked nicely and tried to negotiate, I would have just let you guys leave, however, rom the moment you chose to escape, you left yourselves with no way out," Li Xun said as he retrieved the Broken Cloud Spear, cast a glance at the three of them, and returned to the mountaintop.

After experiencing the previous events, Qin Xueyi had awakened from her cultivation. She stood prettily at the end of the steps.

"Today, Lord Li has saved my life once again."

"You are joking, even without me being here, there is nothing they can do to harm you.” Li Xun shook his head, his peripheral vision catching the formation at the spot where Qin Xueyi had been cultivating earlier.

Qin Xueyi smiled and didn't say much. Instead, she turned to look at the main hall and said again, "Lord Li's cultivation has advanced further today. Xueyi congratulates you. After delaying for quite some time here, Xueyi should leave now."

"You're not going back to Fallen Leaf City?" Li Xun raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked.

Qin Xueyi shook her head, saying, "No, I have some other things to attend to."

Part of her reason for coming here was to obtain the Dao Profound Gold Pill from the saint's inheritance, and the other part was to repay Li Xun for the favor of the Purple Cloud Pill.

Now that the favor had been repaid, she needed to continue on her own path.

"In that case, until we meet again."

Li Xun knew she had her secrets, and since she didn't want to share them, he didn't bother asking.

With that, he turned and left.

Behind him, Qin Xueyi watched Li Xun's departing figure and pursed her lips.

Struggling emotions flickered across her face.

The experiences of the past few days kept playing in her mind, and in the end, she couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"Lord Li, in the next few days, you need to be cautious of the inner sect trial of the Xuanyang Sect!"
