Chapter 143 The Hero Who Died The abrupt gap in time and space in the sky shines with strange and beautiful colors. Ruan Xing took out a key and played with it in his hand out of boredom. The head of the sect just glanced over lightly and didn't react at all. It seems that he doesn't recognize this key. After thinking for a while, Ruan Xing asked the headmaster, "I have something I got by accident, but I still can't figure out what it is. Can you help me take a look at it?" As she spoke, she handed over the key in her hand. The head sect leader raised his eyelids to take a look, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he took it. After looking at it several times in his hand, he cautiously did not input spiritual power and shook his head. "There are all kinds of things in the world. Even the powerful Guixu cannot recognize everything. I have never seen this thing before, and I can't tell what it is made of. But since it looks like a key, it should be used to open a door or teleport. It's just that the material is unusual, and so is the place it leads to. It's too dangerous to rashly enter an unknown area with your current Jindan cultivation. You'd better not set foot in it lightly." "I understand. Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts." Ruan Xing nodded.
Hearing the title of "Uncle Master", the Sect Leader was surprised for a moment, but soon his expression returned to normal. Ruan Xing continued to ask: "How long do we have to wait here?" "I don't know." The head of the sect said, "If they come out in one day, then we only have to wait one day. If they never come out, then we only have to wait one month." When this matter was mentioned, there was a hint of anxiety between the headmaster's brows. He was also very worried about whether the people inside could get out safely, but this was not something he could control. "This is my first time in Nanzhou. Since I still have some time, could you help me remove the veil here? I'll go out for a walk and come back in a few days?" "I'm afraid that's not possible." The headmaster thought for less than a second and then refused. "This barrier was set up by me and the other two sects' monks. If you open it, they will definitely suspect that you are doing something shameful. It will only take about a month, so just stay here and relax." "Yes." Ruan Xing lowered his eyes and agreed calmly, but he was actually a little anxious in his heart. If she was trapped here, her illusion skills would fail at night, and the information she obtained from this simulation would be too little. Is it going to end now? Just when she was in a dilemma, the sect leader's expression suddenly changed. He took out his sect's jade token and seemed to have received some news. He frowned and whispered, "Oh no, why is he here?" Hmm? Who's coming? Ruan Xing pricked up his ears quietly, but the sect leader did not say anything more. Instead, he stood up and talked for a few words with the monks who stayed behind from the other two sects. Then, the three of them worked together to open the barrier. The head of the sect said to Ruan Xing helplessly, "You are lucky, do you want to go out? But let me make it clear first, you can't come back in once you go out. The barrier will open again after a month." "Of course, don't worry, Master. I understand everything." Ruan Xing said quickly, picked up his box and followed. When the two of them walked out of the barrier, Ruan Xing finally understood why the Sect Leader suddenly wanted to open the barrier. A male cultivator in green clothes was flying down slowly on a sword. His jade-like face looked frosty. Ruan Xing had seen him from afar in a simulation. He was Fu Qinghong's master, Qingyuan Daojun. As soon as he saw him, Ruan Xing thought of Fu Qinghong's puppet body in his storage bag. He unconsciously tucked his tail between his legs and lowered his head to reduce his presence. However, it did not have any effect. When Qing Yuan Daojun saw her, he sneered and said, "Why didn't you go to the gap in time and space?" The head explained: "Gu Duo, a disciple of Tianyan Peak, went in for him."
"You are lucky to have a good master." Taoist Qingyuan said to Ruan Xing as if with some meaning. The aura of the Spirit Transformation Stage was fierce and intimidating, and he had no intention of restraining himself. If there wasn't a sect leader leading him, Ruan Xing felt that he should not be standing at this moment, and should have knelt down on the ground with his whole body prostrated. But judging from what Daoist Master Qing Yuan said, and the information she had just learned from Gu Duo, it seemed that the decision to let Gu Duo replace Qin Taihe was made between the two of them in private, and the other peak masters and officials were not aware of it. Perhaps Qin Taihe's status as a disciple could still be preserved. Ruan Xing didn't dare to speak here, and was brainstorming. The head of the sect was not idle either. He quietly stretched out a hand to block the might of Qingyuan Daojun for Ruan Xing behind him, and said helplessly: "Didn't you say that there was a secret order from the sect master to pass on? It's not appropriate for the young man to hear such a thing, let him go first." "It's okay." Qing Yuan Daojun smiled, "It's just right for you to listen together." The head of the sect could tell from the tone of Qing Yuan Dao Jun that the newcomer was not friendly, and frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" Both of Qingyuan Daojun's direct disciples died in Nanzhou. It was normal for Qingyuan Daojun to be angry, but more than a month had passed and Qingyuan Daojun had not impulsively run to Nanzhou to teach him a lesson. Presumably, the sect master had used some method to appease him. The head of the sect had also thought that since Elder Xu was dead, sending the remaining two elderly elders and the younger generation of cultivators to explore the space-time rift was a punishment for the elders, and he himself would not have a good time after the space-time rift was over. But he was still on his way to carry out a mission for the sect, and there were two cultivators from other sects beside him. Could it be that Taoist Qing Yuan really wanted to attack him here, and if this got out, would the other sects laugh at him? "What are you afraid of? I'm just chatting with you." Qing Yuan Daojun sneered, "Do you know why the disciples sent to explore the secret realm this time are not the elites of the sect?" Two old men would be fine, as it was a punishment for dereliction of duty, but the younger generation of disciples, two ordinary inner disciples who were unknown to the public, plus Qin Taihe who had just entered the Golden Core stage, was indeed not a good configuration. If the other two sects had not known more, and only knew that Qin Taihe was a genius disciple who had reached the Golden Core stage before the age of thirty, and had mistakenly thought that he was very powerful, they would have noticed that something was wrong with this team long ago. Without waiting for the headmaster to answer, Daoist Master Qing Yuan continued, "After Master Li Feng came to investigate that day, she was seriously injured while resisting the power of the space-time rift. I went to visit her privately, and she told me that this space-time rift is most likely not a lost secret realm, but a path to the Land of Absolute Spirits." "What!?" The head of the sect was horrified. "Then why did they let them go in and die?" Anyone who has known about the Land of Absolute Souls may understand how terrifying it is. Unless you have reached the state of becoming a spirit, you will die if you enter. "To die? No, you misunderstood. They are the heroes of the sect. They have left such a good reputation. You should be happy for them." A trace of happiness flashed across Qing Yuan Daojun's face. "Soon, Xuan Bing Sect will have a new secret realm left by Gui Xu Xianjun, and they are the heroes this time." "Secret realm..." The head of the sect was stunned. "It must be the secret realm left behind by the immortal Guangyou who has already ascended to heaven. It has been more than 20 years. His Guixu Land should indeed be transformed into a secret realm." Hearing the words of the headmaster, Ruan Xing suddenly remembered, yes, in the Guixu period, if one fails to become an immortal, he will return to the ruins. The ascension of Immortal Lord Guangyou was an illusion, and it was false news released by Xuanbing Sect to the outside world. However, the secret realm formed after Immortal Lord Guangyou returned to the ruins could not be concealed, so they took this opportunity to "whitewash" the secret realm of Immortal Lord Guangyou. Regardless of whether this space-time rift was a secret realm, the final answer was yes. "So, you are doing this for..." The headmaster said bitterly. "That's right, I'm here to kill you. You can resist, but once the other two sects' cultivators are drawn to my attention, Hall Master Xu and Peak Master Cheng will come over to seal the space-time rift together. Even if they have the ability to get out, it will be impossible for them to get out after it's sealed." The other two sects would only seal the gap because they thought they had mastered the core of the secret realm and had other ways out. The rule that they could attack each other in the gap was proposed by themselves, so they could only accept defeat. After all, the Xuanbing Sect personally sealed in all the thirty-year-old Jindan geniuses of their own sect, so how could it be false? Although Qin Taihe, disguised as Ruan Xing, did not enter this time, another disciple did enter, so the weight was barely enough. Daoist Master Qing Yuan's tone was filled with malice. "I never get involved in the affairs of the sect, but I can't sit idly by this time. Why did my disciple die, and the ones who were pushed out to take the blame are just a few Jindan elders who are waiting to die? Shouldn't you pay the price of your life for this?" It turned out that what the sect leader promised to Taoist Qingyuan was to let him personally take the life of the leader of Nanzhou to vent his anger. "I underestimated the sect's indifference and ruthlessness." The head of the sect smiled bitterly, "The injuries that Junior Brother Wen and I suffered at the hands of the evil cultivators and the blood we shed in front of the Tianjian Sect, in the end, meant nothing." At this point, he already understood everything. He sighed and said, "Let's do it." He knew that as a person in the early Nascent Soul stage, there was no way he could defeat Qing Yuan Daojun who was in the Spirit Transformation stage. Moreover, there were Hall Master Xu and Master Cheng Feng around him. He would definitely die today, but how could he be willing to do that if he did not resist? What a pity for Junior Brother Wen... A look of sadness flashed across the Sect Leader's face, and he waved his hand and summoned his own magic weapon.
Ruan Xing had quietly retreated when Taoist Qingyuan revealed his murderous intention. Taoist Qingyuan did not have a good face for her. When the fight started, she might be the first to be attacked, and she would not be allowed to leave before she spoke... Ruan Xing could only pessimistically believe that this simulation would end here again. I never expected that the most exciting things are outside the gap in time and space.
