Chapter 1665 - 1474: Unknown Area

"Seventh Aunt, if anything happens to my sister, you won’t be able to escape responsibility. I will definitely tell Grandfather!!!!!!" Luo Ningning finally couldn’t hold back anymore. She lifted her head; her pretty, delicate face was already covered in tears of extreme worry. She stared at Xuan Jingping and shouted.

She had always been very afraid of Xuan Jingping.

But now, she wasn’t afraid anymore.

She had never been this angry.

Without the map, her sister’s situation was extremely dangerous. Xuan Jingping had to shoulder this blame.

"Presumptuous!" Xuan Jingping glanced at Luo Ningning and directly released a bit of her aura.

The corner of Luo Ningning’s mouth instantly turned bright red; she’d been injured a little.

But Luo Ningning still clenched her teeth tightly, unafraid, locking her gaze onto Xuan Jingping. The anger and hatred in her beautiful eyes were already very obvious.

"If Xuan Chuqing dies in the Secret Realm, that’s her own choice. She’s the one who doesn’t know what’s good for her, refusing Mr. Yue when he’s right there!!! This is the consequence!" Xuan Jingping coldly barked, "Even if the old man blames me, I will bear it all alone. I won’t allow an out-clan little girl like you to offend your elders!"

Luo Ningning didn’t say another word. Her face just turned a bit pale; she bit her teeth, clenched her pink fists, praying in her heart that her sister would definitely survive.

Just then.

"Taihua Cave Heaven truly lives up to its name." Mr. Sui spoke, letting out a faint sigh.

It turned out that on the synchronized screen, Yue Yan and Xuan Shiyang had just descended into a dangerous area. Right after landing, hundreds of Resentful Beasts appeared around them all at once; this was considered extremely dangerous.

Yet Yue Yan only used three moves to Annihilate those hundred-plus Resentful Beasts.

The power he displayed was astonishing.

You had to know, among those hundred Resentful Beasts, although the vast majority were only Level 1 Resentful Beasts, there were also Second-level and Third-level Resentful Beasts, and even a Level 4 Resentful Beast. But they were still slaughtered by Yue Yan as easily as chopping vegetables.

The Resentful Beasts in the Buried Immortal Secret Realm arose because too many Immortals died here back then; the resentment was naturally extremely heavy. Slowly, resentment gave birth to spirits, forming Resentful Beasts. Resentful Beasts have no intelligence; they only know Slaughter.

Resentful Beasts are particularly cruel and brutal.

Their combat power is vicious.

The Resentful Beasts in the Buried Immortal Secret Realm can be divided into seven levels. Level 1 is the most common, roughly with the strength of a Human Immortal Realm Third Layer. Second-level Resentful Beasts roughly have the strength of Human Immortal Realm Eighth Layer to Ninth Level. Third-level Resentful Beasts can reach the strength of Immortal King Realm Third Layer to Fourth Layer. As for Level 4 Resentful Beasts, they’re already considered rare and not easy to encounter; their strength is very high, roughly at Immortal King Realm Seventh Layer to Eighth Layer.

"Mr. Yue Yan already has 1481 points."

Someone said.

Each Level 1 Resentful Beast is worth 1 point.

Each Second-level Resentful Beast is worth 10 points.

Each Third-level Resentful Beast is worth 100 points.

And so on.

Right at the start, Yue Yan already had 1481 points; this was indeed shocking. You had to know that in the past, many participants, even when the 9 days of competition Time ended, still might not reach 1481 points.

The next moment.

Suddenly someone exclaimed in surprise, "Look, Feng Yao and Feng Bing seem to be moving toward the unknown area where Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing are."

Indeed.

On the synchronized screen, it was clearly visible that although Feng Yao and Feng Bing had descended in a safe area, this safe area happened to be close to the unknown area of Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing. And coincidentally, the direction Feng Yao and Feng Bing were advancing in was precisely toward that unknown area.

The Feng Family’s leader, an old man, looked a bit upset. He wished he could warn the two Feng Family participants right now.

Unfortunately, he was outside and couldn’t remind them.

"They clearly have a map, clearly know the direction they’re heading now is an unknown area, yet they still go. Are the two Feng brothers doing it on purpose? Very confident, very ambitious." Someone commented.

Yes.

Clearly, unlike Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing, the two Feng brothers had a map.

In this situation, stubbornly charging toward an unknown area was deliberate.

"Too impulsive." The leading old man of the Feng Family muttered, frowning. Obviously, he had repeatedly warned them to be cautious, and yet...

Indeed, although the unknown area might contain terrifying, unknown dangers, it could also hold inconceivable opportunities. If you explored it, and your luck was good, you might really soar to the heavens in one leap.

But this was betting with your life!!!

"Feng Yao is ranked 23rd on the Heaven Stepping List, Early Stage of Immortal King Realm Seventh Layer."

"Feng Bing is ranked 17th on the Heaven Stepping List, Seventh Layer Peak of Immortal King Realm."

Next.

Time quickly passed.

After about one hour.

Suddenly!!!

Inside and outside the guest hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, many people’s eyes froze; they were simultaneously terrified, excited, and shocked. They looked at each other, unsure if what they’d just seen was real.

"Just now, in that unknown area, a shadow flashed by."

"Right, you saw it too?"

"It really did, just a flash and gone; the speed was too fast."

"A bit eerie. Now we’ll get to see a good show."

......

Inside the Buried Immortal Secret Realm.

Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing had already been walking for one to two hours.

It was still the vast, empty frozen ground stretching to the horizon.

Xuan Chuqing was a little irritable.

Ye Tian, on the other hand, was happily walking while Cultivating, quite content.

However, at this moment, he withdrew from his Cultivation and said to Xuan Chuqing beside him, "Be careful, it’s coming."

"What’s coming?" Xuan Chuqing was stunned and asked.

"Should be a Resentful Beast." Ye Tian said with a smile.

He had no intention of making a move.

Because this Resentful Beast’s strength was very weak—well, in Ye Tian’s eyes, very weak. He didn’t have the desire to act; better to let Xuan Chuqing attack and temper herself a bit.

Just as Ye Tian finished speaking.

"Screech!!!"

A sudden sound tore through the air, extremely piercing, like nails scraping and peeling, making the eardrums feel like they were splitting...

Accompanying this sound was a very violent, evil, yet extremely fast black shadow, like a sweeping mass of dark clouds, pouncing toward Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing in an instant.

Fast.

Extremely fast.

Xuan Chuqing’s reaction speed was already very quick, but by the time she moved, that Resentful Beast was already right in front of her, within arm’s reach. The Resentful Beast even formed a huge claw imprint like a skeletal hand, Dark and ghostly red, crazily grabbing down.

"Hiss..." Xuan Chuqing directly drew her sword.

Her sword shot out in a single strike.

She didn’t hold back.

However...

"Clang!"

The sharp, icy Sword Light met the Resentful Beast’s claw and parted on contact.

The Resentful Beast’s claw paused for a moment but did not shatter.

Instead, Xuan Chuqing’s body slightly retreated.

Her blood and qi churned a bit.

This Resentful Beast’s strength was beyond her expectations.

Just as she wanted to swing her sword again, a sudden chill ran through her heart, because before her eyes, the Resentful Beast’s figure vanished.

Then, within a hundredth of a breath...

"Screech!!"

The Resentful Beast’s attack came again.

This time it was directly a Devouring maw.

A huge Devouring mouth, like a black hole—evil, roaring, Dark, an Abyss without end. Only its teeth shone with the cold gleam of Death.

One bite snapped down, almost enveloping Xuan Chuqing.

Fortunately, Xuan Chuqing wasn’t weak. Her feet shifted slightly, and clearly, a faint red halo rose on her slender hands; this should be some kind of Secret Technique, and not a simple one.

Instantly, the aura around Xuan Chuqing, especially on her arm, soared in ferocity by countless levels. Just looking at it gave a feeling of Sword Light stabbing at your eyeballs.

And the sword in Xuan Chuqing’s hand also violently trembled, as if it had come alive, incomparably full of Spiritual Movement.

It was the influx of various Laws.

Ye Tian smelled Sword Intent, the ethereal Laws, the Wind Principle, and a total of five kinds of Laws, all around the Seventh Rank.

Still quite strong.

"Ancient Reverse Sword Flower!" Xuan Chuqing’s beautiful eyes turned sharp as she locked onto the Resentful Beast. She raised her hand, fingers flipping in rapid succession. The sword in her hand danced like the heavens themselves; even the eye couldn’t catch it. A flurry of attacks erupted, Sword Light stretching on and on.
