"Why does the senior need to take action against us? Have we somehow offended you?" Hong Yu tried to remain calm as he faced the Golden Core Demon Cultivator San Gui, but the slight quiver in his voice was enough to betray his inner turmoil. San Gui, having morphed into the image of a cultivator, asked, "Have you seen my grandson?" "We haven't, we haven't seen him," a Foundation Establishment cultivator hurriedly shook his head, hoping this might save his life. Unfortunately, they forgot that San Gui was not only a grandfather but also a ruthless Golden Core Demon Cultivator. How could he let them go so easily? "If that's the case, then you are of no use to me." With a wave of his hand, San Gui unleashed several fierce ghosts from his sleeves that entered the bodies of everyone present, so fast that no one had time to react. After a single breath, all of them fell to the ground. If it weren't for the absence of breathing, one might have thought they had merely passed out. San Gui collected the bodies and turned to fly towards another team. Another round of questioning followed but yielded no results. Out of three suspects, only Bo Li Team, whereabouts unknown, remained. Looking at the Foundation Establishment disciple kneeling before him, trembling from head to toe, San Gui said icily, "I'll give you one last chance. Summon the other disciples. If they haven't found their whereabouts in three days, don't bother coming back." "Yes! I will not let senior down!" The Foundation Establishment cultivator trembled and hurriedly made his promise. Speaking of which, the reason why the Demon Cultivator couldn't find Bo Li and the others had a lot to do with Li Zhirui. It was his wood-attribute skill that disrupted the Demon Cultivator's judgment, leading to his inability to locate Bo Li Team till now. "It's time to return to South Mountain Immortal City." In the valley, as the sky brightened, Bo Li couldn't hide the disappointment in her eyes. Although the others were also somewhat unwilling, the thought of obtaining Contribution Value and Spiritual Objects from Bo Li made it less painful. "Wait!" Li Zhirui suddenly exclaimed, "Look in that crevice, is there Spirit Light flickering?" His position faced the crack directly, so as soon as he stood up, he could see it clearly and naturally wouldn't miss the dazzling Spirit Light in the darkness. Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire "There really is!" Upon hearing Li Zhirui's words, one of them immediately ran over to look. "The Secret Realm will open soon. Once we enter, won't we find out?" someone said nonchalantly. "Right, if anyone is reluctant to enter, they can wait outside or simply return to the Immortal City alone," another chimed in. Hearing this, Li Zhirui's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed inwardly. It seemed that the unknown and peculiar nature of this Secret Realm were causing many to lose their usual caution and composure. Regardless of what others thought, he had decided that he would not enter the Secret Realm once it opened. That night, the Spirit Light from the Secret Realm became increasingly noticeable, yet it was concealed by a Formation, unseen by outsiders. "Taoist Huang, do you think there will be great danger inside the Secret Realm?" a female cultivator named Li Ning'er asked softly. Li Zhirui opened his eyes and smiled, saying, "Do you think that Secret Realm isn't dangerous?" "Then why are you unwilling to enter this Secret Realm?" An hour before, Bo Li had taken stock of the number of people willing to enter the Secret Realm; apart from Li Zhirui, who had explicitly refused, most others readily agreed. Only Li Ning'er and a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator were still hesitating, not having given a definite answer. "I feel that the Spiritual Objects within the Secret Realm aren't worth the risk," Li Zhirui said, and then he closed his eyes again. Seeing this, a flash of dissatisfaction crossed Li Ning'er's beautiful eyes, but she couldn't vent her frustration and merely huffed before turning back to her spot. The next morning, the Secret Realm had fully opened. Li Zhirui rose to his feet and said with a smile, "I wish all of you smooth sailing and a bountiful harvest!" "I will take my leave now and wait for your return in the Immortal City." With that said, Li Zhirui was about to summon his Spirit Boat to fly eastward. "Where are you going?!" Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out. Before Li Zhirui could react, a dark figure appeared before him, its gaping maw ready to swallow him whole. Bang! Li Zhirui didn't have time to think; he immediately triggered the self-destruction of his Spirit Boat while simultaneously entering space, preparing various defenses in an instant. He then emerged back from space almost immediately.
