Chapter 771: The End of the Secret Realm, Come to Heavenly Sword Sect Within 10 Years! (3)

“Yujian Zhenren, other True Immortals, Tian Yuan bids farewell!”

After speaking a few words with Lu Qingshan, Tianyuan True Immortal bowed to Yujian Zhenren and the others.

He then placed Lu Qingshan on his gourd, transformed into a divine rainbow, and skyrocketed into the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.

“Damn it, who exactly is it?”

At this moment, on the huge Divine Vessel pulled by the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed, the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family watched the cultivators continuously emerging from the Secret Realm, his expression gloomy and ugly.

Since all the Soul Plates in his family’s Storage Bags had shattered and his own descendants had all died in the Secret Realm, he had been observing the Four Great Immortal Sects and other major Nascent Soul Family Forces.

But through his observation, he noticed that although other families had suffered casualties, they were not severe and were similar to previous years.

This puzzled him greatly.

He didn’t know who had killed his family’s descendants!

It should be noted that the descendants of their Beast Taming Xu Family were always accompanied by Spiritual Beasts, had combat power far superior to others of their level, and were not much worse than the disciples of the Immortal Sects.

Thus, regardless of which power made a move against his family, a fight to the death on both sides would inevitably result in significant losses.

Yet among these top-tier powers, the Spirit Taming Sect, which suffered the most, had only seven deaths.

“The Spirit Taming Sect and my Xu Family have always had good relations;

even if they are reluctant to see my Xu Family rise, they would definitely not be the first to strike against us.”

Patriarch Xu pondered in his heart, dismissing the possibilities one by one.

“Patriarch Xu, how come I haven’t seen any of your family’s disciples, could they all have perished in this Secret Realm?”

At that moment, the Family Patriarch from the Shangguan Family looked at Patriarch Xu and jokingly said.

However, as much as he spoke in jest, he was quite surprised to see that not a single descendant of the Xu Family had emerged from the Secret Realm.

Because among these top-tier powers, such a situation had not occurred for many years.

“Hmph!”

Patriarch Xu’s face darkened as he snorted coldly and remained silent.

Seeing this, the False Core Patriarch of the Shangguan Family immediately stopped teasing.

After all, if the descendants of the Xu Family had truly all died in the Secret Realm, a few provocative words might actually provoke Patriarch Xu into a fight.

And if they started fighting, he was really no match for Patriarch Xu.

“Could it be that it wasn’t the Immortal Sect forces who acted? Was it simply danger within the Secret Realm itself?”

Patriarch Xu frowned deeply, pondering in his heart, feeling that this was the only explanation.

But he himself didn’t believe in this explanation!

Because the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, having been open for nearly a thousand years, was now used as a training ground, and there was supposedly nothing particularly dangerous left inside.

“Could it be Loose Cultivators?”

A ridiculous thought crossed Patriarch Xu’s mind.

He immediately shook his head, dismissing the idea.

After all, how could a Loose Cultivator possibly have the ability to kill off all his family’s descendants?

“Dammit!”

Patriarch Xu felt irritable and annoyed, then out of sight, out of mind, he rode away on the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed.

At the same time, Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen emerged from the Secret Realm.

The two queued up to hand over the Spiritual Medicine.

With the Smell Spirit Beast present, no one dared to secretly keep any Spiritual Medicine;

everyone adhered to the rules.

If anyone was found to be hiding rare Spiritual Medicine, they wouldn’t be executed on the spot as a warning, but they would be reduced to mining slaves.

“Hmm, so much?”

“Two Loose Cultivators actually had such a harvest.”

The supervising disciple from the Luoxia Sect was somewhat surprised and puzzled when he saw the pile of Spiritual Medicine.

Although Lu Quanzhen had given most of the Spiritual Medicine to Lu Qingshan.

But the remaining Spiritual Medicine was still considered exceptional among Loose Cultivators.

However, they didn’t say much about this;

after collecting half and checking that there was no must-trade Spiritual Medicine, they let the two men go.

“Father.”

Lu Ping’an and Lu Quanzhen approached Lu Changsheng.

Although his two sons had changed their appearances with Disguise and Camouflage, Lu Changsheng still recognized them at a glance.

He patted their shoulders, smiling and said, “It seems that you both had a good harvest this trip.”

“Indeed, not bad.”

Lu Quanzhen said with a smile.

“Alright, let’s talk about the details of the harvest when we get back.”

Lu Changsheng spoke, taking out a Spirit Boat from the Storage Ring.

The palm-sized Spirit Boat surged with green light and instantly transformed into a small boat more than a yard long, taking his two sons back with him.

As for Lu Qingshan, he had just spotted him returning with Tianyuan True Immortal.

And he had also seen that Lu Qingshan had apparently said something to the True Immortal of the Heavenly Sword Sect, as he didn’t hand over any Spiritual Medicine.

He couldn’t help but marvel internally at the power—the Nascent Soul Immortal had personally delivered him, earning some respect even from the Four Great Immortal Sects.

….

Just as Lu Changsheng was piloting the Spirit Boat, taking his two sons home, Patriarch Xu felt more and more aggrieved, feeling utterly humiliated.

And to return in such a manner without any explanation.

“Wait a minute…”

At that moment, Patriarch Xu remembered that on his trip here, he had bestowed a Spiritual Artifact, the Black Dragon Shears.

This Black Dragon Shears was forged from his early years of slaying a Black Jiao, forming an entire set of Spiritual Artifacts.

Although this set had already been bestowed one by one, he still had the Black Jiao Demon Core refined into a Black Jiao Bead left in his hands!

As long as the Black Dragon Shears were not far from him, and not lost within the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, he could sense their location through the Black Jiao Bead.

“If it’s in the hands of an Immortal Sect disciple, I could just claim the Spiritual Artifact back.”

Patriarch Xu’s eyes gleamed, murmuring to himself.

At this point, he didn’t care about losing face anymore.

Because this incident had already caused him to lose face completely.

Soon, when this matter would spread, even the other families would ridicule his Beast Taming Xu Family!

Thus, this matter must be resolved!

Patriarch Xu held a fist-sized, pitch-black Treasure Bead in his hand.

He made a Gesture Incantation with his hands on the Black Jiao Bead and then spat a mouthful of Essence Blood on it, attempting to sense the location of the Black Dragon Shears.

“Hmm!?”

Patriarch Xu’s eyes emitted a sharp light as he looked towards the southwest direction.

He not only sensed the location of the Black Dragon Shears, but also noticed that they were moving rapidly.

“Isn’t it the Four Great Immortal Sects? Then, who is it!?”

Patriarch Xu’s expression turned cold.

Immediately, he rode the Nine-Headed Wind-Thunder Steed as swiftly as lightning, rolling towards the direction where the Black Dragon Shears were located.
