147: Chapter 147 Jade Void Sect's Wrath

Li Taixuan and his companion lay low for a full two days. During this period, they were extremely glad they hadn't rushed over to the Formation and had instead kept waiting.

Because a team of Foundation Establishment Cultivators was actually lying in ambush outside the teleportation Formation. That being said, those two previous teams of Foundation Establishment Cultivators leaving in the same direction might have just been to trick them.

Then, it would let hiding Foundation Establishment Cultivators like them relax. Once they thought they were safe, the other team of Foundation Establishment Cultivators lying in ambush outside the teleportation Formation would strike at that moment and attack them.

No doubt some Cultivators must have fallen for it.

However, because of this, they didn't dare approach the vicinity of the teleportation Formation anymore. Even though the Anti-Immortal Alliance Cultivators lying in ambush near the teleportation Formation had already left, who knew if this was a trap—a trap specifically put on show for them?

"Sigh, the teleportation Formation cannot be used. What should we do next?" Shen Bei sighed.

There was only one day left before the Secret Realm closed. If they didn't leave now, they might have to wait until the Secret Realm opened the next time.

"Perhaps our situation isn't as bad as you think," Li Taixuan said thoughtfully.

"Hmm? Brother Li, you mean...?" Shen Bei suddenly realized.

"It's not just us being hunted down by the Anti-Immortal Alliance; there are also the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators who entered the Secret Realm. What I mean is, if those hunted Cultivators are in the same situation as us, they either died or are hiding somewhere.

Furthermore, since not many Foundation Establishment Cultivators successfully escaped within the Secret Realm, will the Yuxu Sect notice the changes in the Secret Realm? Also, this time Anti-Immortal Alliance Cultivators appeared in the Secret Realm to hunt down Foundation Establishment Cultivators from various forces. Knowing this, the Yuxu Sect will definitely retaliate."

"After all, we all belong to forces under the Yuxu Sect; they cannot possibly allow a demonic cult to willfully slaughter us."

"I see. What Brother Li says makes sense. In that case, perhaps we can wait here for the Yuxu Sect to arrive, report the situation here to them, and then have them rescue Brother Chen," Shen Bei nodded.

After the two of them conferred, not long after, they discovered a team of Foundation Establishment Cultivators wandering around not far away.

The hearts of the two instantly leapt to their throats.

"..."

"You mentioned the Anti-Immortal Alliance?" After Junior Brother Yang Zhan headed to the valley in the core area, he discovered traces of several large-scale Formations being set up here, as well as the corpses of quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

While listening to the subordinates' report, he inspected the area and discovered that among these Formations there was also a large-scale teleportation Formation. In other words, that group of Anti-Immortal Alliance Cultivators had already left using the teleportation Formation.

"Yes, Junior Martial Uncle. Bring those few survivors up," shouted the Disciple in charge of reporting.

Several other Disciples acknowledged the order and immediately brought over the living Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"You few, give me a detailed account of everything that happened in the Secret Realm this month," Junior Brother Yang Zhan spoke, his tone carrying anger.

Hearing this, the few felt fear in their hearts. Although they knew that the Junior Brother Yang Zhan before them wasn't venting his temper on them, the aura released by a Purple Mansion Master was like a mountain torrent and tsunami, directly crushing them to the point where they couldn't catch their breath.

"Senior, when we first entered the Secret Realm, we hadn't yet..." The few of them detailed everything they had encountered during this period one by one.

After a moment, Junior Brother Yang Zhan felt shocked inside: "A Purple Palace Cultivator actually appeared? How is that possible? This Secret Realm is guarded by several Purple Palace Cultivators from our Yuxu Sect and others. How did that Chisongzi get in? Could it be...?"

He thought to himself that this incident seemed far from simple. He originally thought it was just a group of Foundation Establishment Cultivators, but he never expected it to involve a Realm like the Purple Mansion.

Then this matter was worth the Sect attaching importance to it.

Moreover, this so-called Anti-Immortal Alliance probably hadn't existed for just a day or two. Judging from what they meant, it seemed they even wanted to overthrow the current Golden Core forces of Dayan.

Junior Brother Yang Zhan felt disdain in his heart, but he wouldn't underestimate such a force too much either. Since they dared to band together, it showed they had some foundation. Such things had happened before; most were wiped out by the Golden Core forces of Yan Country, but some truly did become Golden Core forces.

Of the current eleven Golden Core forces, some had also risen to power through this method.

What he hadn't expected, however, was that this Anti-Immortal Alliance actually dared to set their sights on the Yuxu Sect. His Yuxu Sect had been passed down for several thousand years; how could such petty scoundrels dare to covet it?

However, right now the priority was to investigate how that Purple Palace Cultivator managed to sneak in. Perhaps the other party had some kind of concealment-type Magical Artifact, or perhaps there was an inside mole within the Sect.

"Understood. You all go down first to tend to your injuries. My Yuxu Sect will naturally seek justice for you," Junior Brother Yang Zhan said to these few.

After speaking, he dismissed everyone and sent a message transmission to the Sect, reporting the situation of this place upwards.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master fell into a rage and immediately convened the Elder Council.

All Elders, whether they were in secluded Cultivation or traveling outside, were summoned back entirely.

In the end, after fierce debate, the entire Yuxu Sect decided to dispatch a large number of Cultivators to hunt down these Anti-Immortal Alliance Cultivators. At the same time, they issued a bounty: as long as news of the Anti-Immortal Alliance was provided, a massive reward could be obtained.

Moreover, due to the changes in the Secret Realm this time, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators participating in the contention had almost all died. Out of more than two hundred Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators, aside from a few dozen belonging to the Anti-Immortal Alliance, most of the rest had been hunted down. Not many truly survived—probably not even a tenth.

However, among the Anti-Immortal Alliance Cultivators this time, apart from a few unknown individuals, most were recognized. Some were Disciples of a certain Purple Mansion force, some were Clan Chiefs of a certain Family, and so on.

The Yuxu Sect swiftly took control of the forces they belonged to, dispatching quite a few Cultivators to investigate the specific circumstances. Some were directly exterminated as a clan, while others with better luck simply had the relevant Cultivators directly arrested and interrogated.

For a time, the peace of the entire Cang Prefecture was shattered, and countless forces and Cultivators died miserably. Their deaths—some were very innocent, while others were implicated.

Regardless of what happened, the Yuxu Sect would definitely make an example of them.

This move was not only to retaliate against the Anti-Immortal Alliance, but even more so to deter those Cultivators who had joined the Anti-Immortal Alliance, letting them know what the consequences of resisting them would be.

Furthermore, under the Yuxu Sect's bounty, any immortal cultivation force in the entire Cang Prefecture would immediately report it the moment they discovered any suspicious Cultivators.

This included the allocation quotas for the ziyu pill.

Because the casualties in the Zifu Secret Realm this time were far too tragic, resulting in the ziyu pill unable to be effectively evaluated, the Yuxu Sect directly took out the quotas for the ziyu pill as a bounty.

This move immediately drove all Cultivators wild with frenzy, although obtaining such a quota was not that easy.

However, even if there was only a sliver of chance, those Cultivators would risk their lives to work for the Yuxu Sect. Not to mention that besides the ziyu pill quotas, there were also many other precious resources, such as foundation establishment pills and so on.

The Chen Family of Wuyue Mountain also received the bounty issued by the Yuxu Sect. Both Chen Xuanyi and Chen Changjie were somewhat worried; an incident in the Zifu Secret Realm meant that Chen Changqing might also have met with misfortune.

Just as the two of them were worried, Li Taixuan brought news concerning Chen Changqing.

After hearing it, the two of them let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chen Changqing was still alive; he was merely trapped.
