182: The Blood Lake Secret Realm ends!

The sword soul grass blades split into three, and the sharp sword light could shred a person's skin.

With the enhancement of the Sword Shadow Dividing Light Technique, the sword soul grass blades finally cut into the Black Crocodile's scales.

The geng metal qi raged within the Black Crocodile's body, and the Black Crocodile writhed in pain.

Chen Sichen, seeing this, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he controlled his short sword to fly into the air.

The Black Crocodile's chances of survival were already very slim, but he knew the principle of a cornered beast fighting back; what if a dying counterattack dragged him down as well?

Dozens of breaths later, the Black Crocodile completely lost its breath.

Chen Sichen used a stream of Spiritual Qi to envelop the Black Crocodile's body and brought the giant crocodile's carcass to the shore.

"Uncle Lin, your secret technique really works, the giant crocodile is dead," Chen Sichen praised.

Lin Yucheng calmly waved his hand and said, "It's also thanks to you. If you hadn't held back the Vicious Beast, I wouldn't have had the chance to use the secret technique."

"How about this! We'll split the Black Crocodile's Materials half and half," Lin Yucheng said very generously.

Chen Sichen did not decline, but proactively chose the relatively less valuable claws, not touching the most precious crocodile scales.

Just by looking at the giant crocodile's defensive capabilities from earlier, this hide, in the hands of an excellent Artifact Refiner, might be refined into a Spiritual Artifact.

Finally, Chen Sichen led everyone through the teleportation array at the bottom of the lake, returning to the Qingyang Mountain Range.

Qingyang Mountain Range, Secret Realm entrance.

Beams of teleportation array light lit up, and the Cultivators of Qingyang returned to the flat ground in the cave.

They were impatient, all preparing to leave the Qingyang Mountain Range, grateful to have survived.

In this Secret Realm exploration, at least half of the Cultivators died inside.

Their gains were clearly not proportional to their efforts, only obtaining some remnants of Yao Beasts; they knew it would have been better to hunt Yao Beasts at the outermost periphery of the Qingyang Mountain Range.

The Lin family had the biggest gains, with most of the Materials falling into their hands, including precious Materials from slain Yao Beasts, Spirit Medicine from the Secret Realm, and demonic corpses.

In fact, Chen Sichen should have had the biggest gains; he obtained most of the Legacy memories of Blood River Ancestor.

Moreover...

This Secret Realm also belonged to him, and the Blood Lake and Devilish Qi in the Secret Realm were what he needed for his Cultivation.

It turned out that at the bottom of the Blood Lake, Chen Sichen also obtained a special key that could open and close the Secret Realm at any time.

Lin Yucheng looked at the open space beneath his feet; the teleportation light had disappeared, and he didn't know if the teleportation array was buried deep within.

He tried again, but could no longer teleport into the Blood Lake Secret Realm.

"What a pity..."

Lin Yucheng had a very keen eye; he knew that the most valuable resource of this Secret Realm was the Secret Realm itself. If he could obtain ownership of the Secret Realm...

Then the Lin family could also settle in the Blood Lake Secret Realm, and it wouldn't be impossible to Cultivate some demonic Cultivators and blood Cultivators.

Chen Sichen saw through Lin Yucheng's thoughts but did not expose them. He said to Lin Yucheng, "Uncle Lin, let's go out too!"

Lin Yucheng nodded slowly and followed Chen Sichen out of the deep cave.

...

Qingyang Mountain Range, where the blood-red light pillar originally stood.

Many Loose Cultivators bled here; they were the ones who had escaped from the Blood Lake Secret Realm.

Three Vicious Beasts guarded the cave entrance: a Red-Tailed Fox, an Ironclad Thunder Ape, and a Barren Forest Wolf King.

Seeing Lin Yucheng and the others emerge, the three Vicious Beasts showed fierce glares, staring directly at Lin Yucheng and the other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators present.

"Humans, you've finally come out. You killed all the Yao Beasts in the Secret Realm, didn't you?" the Barren Forest Wolf King asked in an unfriendly tone.

Lin Yucheng withstood the pressure and said, "That's right, they were demonized and lost their self-awareness. Killing them was also helping them find release."

The Barren Forest Wolf King said, "Alright, then this King will help you all find release too!"

The three Yao Beasts did not feel it was a pity that the Yao Beasts who entered the Blood Lake Secret Realm were killed; this was merely an excuse, an excuse to attack Lin Yucheng and the others.

Their true intention was the Opportunity that might exist on Lin Yucheng and the others.

The pressure from the three Yao Beasts made all the Cultivators gasp for breath, including Lin Yucheng, Chen Sichen, and other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.

These were three-tier great Yao Beasts, a leap across a major Realm, making it impossible for them to even think of resisting.

"Are our Lin family members people you can bully?"

"I'll protect the Cultivators of Yang City!"

Two voices came from the sky, warming the hearts of the Cultivators present, especially the four members of the Lin family and the Loose Cultivators of Yang City.

With the destruction of the Qinglan Sect, although Yuan Wang and Luo Wei, two Golden Core Stage Cultivators, had been killed, Lin Xuanbo and City Lord Chen He, two Golden Core True Persons, had emerged.

The voices just now were from these two.

At this moment, the two floated in mid-air, looking down at the three Yao Beasts, their pressure clashing with the pressure of the three Yao Beasts.

The pressure on Lin Yucheng and the others significantly lessened, and they could finally breathe.

"We're taking these people with us. I presume the three of you have no objections?" Lin Xuanbo said.

At the same time, his Lifebound Treasure, the Qingming Sword, had flown out of his Dantian, drawing a beautiful sword flower in the air.

It was both magnificent and filled with murderous intent.

The Red-Tailed Fox said pitifully, "Alright! I wasn't trying to make things difficult for them; I just wanted to keep them for a good chat."

If one's Divine Sense wasn't strong enough, they might truly be misled by the Red-Tailed Fox's pitiful appearance and believe her words.

"No need!" City Lord Chen He said coldly.

Under the protection of the two Golden Core Stage Cultivators, the many Qingyang Cultivators were able to retreat from the Qingyang Mountain Range.

...

The Cultivator team left, but the three Yao Beasts remained here.

The Ironclad Thunder Ape said unwillingly, "Why should we give in? We are all at the third tier of Cultivation, and there are only two Golden Core Stage Cultivators among them. What do we have to fear with a three-on-two advantage?"

The Red-Tailed Fox glanced at the Ironclad Thunder Ape as if looking at an idiot, and said, "Is this a matter of numbers? Didn't you see that Lin family Cultivator has already refined a Lifebound Treasure? That Lifebound Treasure is not something we can easily deal with!"

The Barren Forest Wolf King also agreed, "Yes, our chances of winning are not great. There's no need to risk being killed by fighting them."

He changed the subject, "However, why didn't that Senior in the Qingyang Mountain Range make a move? Speaking of which, she's your relative, Red Fox!"

The Red-Tailed Fox snorted coldly, and she said sullenly, "If my aunt wasn't in seclusion, none of these people would have left the Qingyang Mountain Range alive."

"Your aunt's Cultivation has reached the fourth tier, is that true?" the Barren Forest Wolf King inquired.

On the surface, the three Yao Beasts were the strongest in the Qingyang Mountain Range, but in reality, there were still terrifying Yao Beasts hidden in the shadows, not appearing.

"Of course..."
