Kunlai people have gathered in front of the main hall, Sect Leader Yun Ruan saw the time was ripe, so he waved his hand to signal the crowd to quiet down. As a matter of fact, the main hall was soon silent, looking at Yun Ruan with a solemn expression of great respect.

Yun Ruan opened his mouth and gave a few words of caution towards the crowd, and then came to the entrance of the Water Swamp Secret Realm with several senior uncles. Several people exerted surging aura, only to see the sky of golden light coalesced into a blinding white light, towards the entrance of the Secret Realm of the Water Swamp. Dozens of talismans pasted shot, in a moment, the whole earth suddenly trembled, a deafening sound from under the ground clearly reached the ears of the crowd. Expressions of the people in the room greatly changed, a trace of fear crossed their eyes. Especially the disciples who had never seen the Secret Realm of Water Swamp were so afraid they shrank back, afraid that suddenly a few fierce beasts would come out of the Secret Realm to hurt people.

Soon, the white light slowly weakened, and a huge entrance appeared fully in front of the crowd. The entrance was covered by a thick fog, and a closer look seemed to show some flowers and trees inside, but no one dared to go forward, and did not dare to move in the same place.

Shen Shuyin exerted his aura, so that his voice could reach directly to the ears of the people. He spoke, “Everyone do not panic, the beasts of this Water Swamp Secret Realm will not run out of their own, we can watch at ease. There are small mirrors placed all around the main hall, so the Disciples who are not participating in the competition can also observe everything in the Secret Realm through them.”

Disciples then relaxed and found a suitable place to watch the game and sat down. The five hundred players who participated in the competition were standing in front of Yun Ruan with grave expressions, waiting for the Sect Leader’s instructions.

Yun Ruan said, “Secret Realm is full of dangers, not only the beasts, there are all kinds of weird formations all around, and even ordinary flowers and plants may be highly poisonous. As the saying goes, if you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of no firewood. If you are unable to resist the danger, you can tear the amulet in your hand, at least to save a life, do not entangle. The uncles will also rush to the scene at once, do not worry too much.”

Lu Ming listened to these words, but in his heart, he kept recalling the storyline that he had almost forgotten in his head. In the original story, Sang Wusheng seems to have entered the Secret Realm of Water Swamp as a second-class Disciples, and also the only second-class Disciples in the middle of Gold Core, so it got a lot of attention, most people still looked at Sang Wusheng with the mentality of watching a good show, after all, normally this Shidi looked handsome, was loved the sisters, causing Shixiong brothers around him to be very unhappy. But this person has always acted in a low profile, liked to be alone, so the Shixiong brothers were not familiar with him. In addition, he had good relations with He Qingci living in the same room, but almost no interaction with others. If it wasn’t for the recent trial meeting, which required retesting the qualifications of all the people, almost no one would have found out that Sang Wusheng was already in the middle of Gold Core qualification, fully qualified to enter the first class Disciples group. He Qingci also entered the Secret Realm with Sang Wusheng with the early Gold Core qualification to participate in the trial.

To everyone’s surprise, Sang Wusheng shone in the Secret Realm, not only killing the most terrifying dragon beast in the Secret Realm, but also winning the first place in this trial, leaving He Qingci in second place far behind, and meeting a member of his harem in the Secret Realm, and He Qingci also met a member of his harem in Secret Realm, and got into bed with the little sister who was poisoned by the demon, and succeeded in getting the other side into his harem. This little sister is Uncle Yun Che’s niece, Shen Yanyan.

Lu Ming’s thoughts drifted far away until the crowd of Disciples nodded in response to Yun Ruan, which pulled his wits back.

Yun Ruan looked at the Disciples with satisfaction and nodded, signaling that the crowd could enter the Water Swamp Secret Realm. That Shen Shuyin then led the crowd into the Secret Realm, Lu Ming and Jing Mo are with the team at the end of the head to look after.

The Secret Realm was filled with smoke, and there were many forks in the road, and every few steps was a fork in the road. The large team had to walk and stop, listening to the arrangements of the Master brothers.

Shen Shuyin thought for a moment and said to Lu Ming, “There are so many forks in the Secret Realm, why don’t we split into smaller teams?”

Lu Ming nodded, then gathered all the remaining Master brothers, each Master brother led a team, in this way, 500 people were divided into dozens of small teams, these temporary teams quickly selected their own direction, and said goodbye to the large group, and then headed towards one of the roads using aura flying body.

Lu Ming naturally did not separate from Jing Mo, the two were Master brothers, so they teamed with a larger number of 25 people. Lu Ming took out an object from space, and injected aura into it, the magic Artifacts began to emit a light purple light. The light became stronger and stronger, penetrating the fog ahead and illuminating the road and surroundings within 10 meters.

Lu Ming said to the crowd, “Go to the middle of the road, do not touch the flowers and plants to avoid poisoning.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, a scream suddenly came from the middle of the group, scaring the crowd and hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound. Only to see a beautiful woman in a yellow shirt fall to the ground, a pair of beautiful eyes with a little tear, with fear and anxiety in the eyes.

The Shixiong disciple rushed to help her up and asked, “Sister Shen, what happened to you?”

The woman’s face was somewhat pale, her body was still trembling, her wrist seemed to be injured, hanging helplessly to the side, with blood continuously dripping on the ground.

“Not good.” Lu Ming’s expression changed, hurriedly went forward, took out a talisman, silently recited a phrase, only to hear a “bang” sound, the talisman immediately emitted a pungent odor, to cover the air filled with the faint smell of blood, and then took out the medicine bottle, took out an antidote pill and handed it to her, saying, “Take this snow pill first.”

The woman reached out and took the pill and gratefully said to Lu Ming, “Thank you Shixiong, Yanyan was too careless and was hurt by the sharp thorns on the poisonous herb.”

Lu Ming smiled lightly and said, “It’s not a problem, be more careful in the future.”

Shouldn’t this Shen Yanyan be with Sang Wusheng’s team? How come she is now running to his own team? Is it possible that Sang Wusheng is mixed in this team?

Lu Ming secretly observed and didn’t say anything. Seeing Lu Ming’s change of expression, Jing Mo lowered his voice and said, “Brother, what’s wrong?”

Lu Ming came back to his senses and avoided answering his earlier thoughts, but spoke with some concern, “I was worried that the smell of blood would attract the giant beasts, so I used charms to cover up the smell. However, Kunlai Mountain is full of spiritual energy, and those beasts are generally more capable and have a very sensitive sense of smell, so I don’t know if it’s too late. Just, you first use the divine sense to explore everywhere, and pay attention to check the surrounding conditions.”

Jing Mo nodded, then turned towards the team and said, “Be vigilant, if you find any abnormalities, report them in time.”

The crowd nodded in agreement, just when everyone was ready to raise their steps and continue to walk forward, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the front. Immediately afterwards, the whole place began to tremble slightly, and there was a tendency to get louder and louder.

The people’s faces changed and they saw fear on each other’s faces. If they guessed correctly, the bloody smell really attracted the foreign beasts over.

Shen Yanyan’s face turned pale, tears began to slide down her face again, while she wept, choking out, “Qingci Shixiong, it’s all my fault, that’s why the foreign beast has been lured over.”

Lu Ming said soothingly, “The Secret Realm is already full of dangers, and this is to be expected, now is not the time to blame yourself. Everyone, take out your magic Artifacts and charms and prepare to defend against the enemy.”

Everyone’s expression became grave, they took out their magic Artifacts from their Qiankun pouches, and looked at the location where the sound came from with alert eyes. Jing Mo took back his divine sense and said in a deep voice to Lu Ming, “Shixiong, we’ve run into a herd of beasts.”

Lu Ming’s heart jumped, it was a herd of beasts!

The main reason why Secret Realm is so scary, apart from the unpredictable formations, was the beast herd. Originally one foreign beast was enough to make several people have problems dealing with it. If a group of foreign beasts was encountered, you can imagine that chances to defeat them were almost zero. Those beasts were not only huge and powerful, but also agile and had a high IQ, so it was difficult to win easily. In such a situation, the only way was to escape!

Lu Ming shouted, “Hold your breath and retreat!”

The Shixiong brothers hurriedly obeyed Lu Ming’s command, converged their aura, and used their aura to run wildly towards the way they came. Unfortunately, the heard of beasts had a very keen sense of smell and soon caught everyone’s scent, and quickly chased them in the direction they had fled, with rumbling sounds and a tendency to shorten the distance.

Lu Ming and Jing Mo followed the team at the end, with a trace of uneasiness on their faces, lips tightly pursed, not saying a word. After a long time, Lu Ming said, “Xiao Mo, you take everyone to escape first, I will break the back.”

Jing Mo heard the words, his body suddenly burst, eyes deadly stared at Lu Ming, decisively refused, “No!”

Lu Ming took a deep breath and said, “If we go on like this, sooner or later we will be caught up by the beasts, you and I can still protect ourselves, but the Shidi sisters cannot. You take them to escape quickly, I will lead the beasts to other places. Don’t worry, I have a way to escape.”

Jing Mo clenched his fist and said, “I will never leave you alone, if you want to break the back, just let me do it.”

“No.” Lu Ming interrupted Jing Mo and said, “You don’t have as many magic Artifacts as I do, if you stay behind, the consequences will be unthinkable, trust me.”

Jing Mo still wanted to say something, Lu Ming suddenly stopped, before the crowd could react, suddenly took out a palm-sized orb from space. The sphere was shiny and bright, and when the aura was injected into it, it suddenly emitted a strong luster, followed by a mirror-like barrier that suddenly appeared in front of Lu Ming.

Jing Mo’s eyes were red and he yelled at Lu Ming, “Shixiong, what do you want? What do you want to do? “

Lu Ming looked a bit anxious, if it was too late, it would be too late. He didn’t care to say anything more, he just shouted at Jing Mo, “Go, the beasts will come soon! When the beasts leave, you can come back for me!”

Jing Mo took a deep look at Lu Ming, his eyes were filled with a thousand emotions, as if the never-ending fire was fading away. He gave Lu Ming an expressionless look, and with the Disciples frozen in place, he yelled, “Go!” The group of Disciples then came back to their senses and hurriedly ran ahead with their auras. Jing Mo did not look back at Lu Ming from the beginning.

Lu Ming’s heart throbbed for some reason, and guilt swept over him like a tumbling river. Lu Ming has never done anything against his conscience in his life, nor did he feel indebted to anyone, and the only person he felt guilty about was Jing Mo.

At first, he was the one who got Jing Mo involved in the strife and had to take him away from the He Mansion to live a life of upheaval; then he got himself into big trouble with Cang Zhi, and in the end, it was he who quietly left without saying a word to save himself and agreed to Cang Zhi’s terms instead; and now, it is for him that he has come to Kunlai Mountain. Treated him with sincerity. All these things, he will always remember in his heart, dare not forget. In his last life, Lu Ming was killed by his own brother, he did not dare to trust others easily, and did not think there were any people or things in this world worth keeping, but Jing Mo appeared in his own life, became his biggest support and dependence, he will not allow the other to have any failure, he will bear these dangers alone.
