Inside the cave, several monsters fled, their massive bodies shaking the passageway violently, with four extraordinary individuals following behind.

Wang Xuan, holding a sharp spear, threw it with all his might. It flew past Old Chen's ear, causing the air around his ear to explode and his hair to become disheveled.

Old Chen's eyes widened. Did this kid want to penetrate through him too?

With a soft thud, the spearhead pierced straight into the back of a superhuman from Yuhua Star, emerging from his chest and instantly pinning him to the ground, leaving a trail of blood.

Old Chen was astonished. This kid was swift and fierce, killing his opponent before he could.

He accelerated, his entire body radiant, having cultivated the Sixteen-Foot Golden Body, resembling a golden Bodhisattva, and charged out fiercely. With a boom, he caught up with a transcendent being and blasted him apart.

Old Chen, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Burning Lamp, was utterly crushing the Supernatural Practitioner in the Mist stage; his opponents were completely powerless to fight back.

Wang Xuan removed the large bundle from his back and quickly took out a great bow and Arrow Feather of extraordinary quality. These were spoils of war he had recently obtained from the extraordinary Xiong Kun, replacing the bow and arrows he had seized from the archer.

He drew his bow and shot the fleeing enemy.

The Arrow Feather flew from the bowstring, the runes emitting blinding beams of light that tore through the sky, producing a terrifying sonic boom, and then... embedded itself in the cave wall.

Missed!

Old Chen was speechless. He had just seen Wang Xuan so serious, with both himself and his bow and arrow emitting brilliant light, but his accuracy was surprisingly poor, missing by several meters!

"I've never practiced archery before, I'll study it later," Wang Xuan said.

"Leave him alive!" Old Chen caught up with the man, knocked him to the ground, but did not kill him.

The main obstacle was several enormous creatures blocking the way. The Silkworm Snake and the pangolin were really big, almost filling the cave.

The four extraordinary individuals from Yuhua Star could only worry helplessly.

The last person suddenly turned around and engaged in a final battle with Old Chen; he was also at the Burning Lamp level.

Old Chen's Sixteen-Foot Golden Body shone brightly, his solemn appearance bringing with it the dazzling golden light that filled the cave, covering the person in front of him and shattering him.

It must be said that Old Chen is very strong and has few rivals in the same field.

Several extraordinary monsters escaped. The death of the mastiff served as a wake-up call for them. They realized they were no match for the enemy and dared not stay to fight.

At the cave exit, the Silver Bear and the golden bird were astonished to find that several extraordinary creatures had escaped.

Approaching the cave entrance, Wang Xuan appeared to be seeking reconciliation, saying, "We have no past grievances or recent enmities; we merely borrowed some of your fruits. These things are like flowers and grass, Ku Rong and flourishing each year, only to spring back to life the following year. Fellow Daoists, please be magnanimous; we truly have no deep-seated hatred. How about we let this go?"

The Silver Bear and the golden bird, both known for their short tempers, immediately glared at him, their eyes narrowing coldly.

The other extraordinary monsters didn't go far; they were led by these two, standing right behind them, coldly staring at the two of them.

"There's not much to say, I guess we'll still have to fight!" Old Chen said.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen stood side by side, neither of them concealing their powerful spiritual energy, directly intimidating the extraordinary monsters outside the cave.

In particular, a strange phenomenon occurred at Wang Xuan's place. After his Mental Secret Power was released, there were majestic immortal mountains rising and falling, and ethereal Suspended Island appearing, all blending together with the colorful Mental Secret Power, which was truly astonishing.

The monsters outside the cave were all extremely wary and took a few steps back.

Without a doubt, the Silver Bear and the golden bird were highly skilled, having walked the path of demons for a considerable period of time, possessing vast knowledge and experience, which made them deeply fearful.

They pondered carefully whether it was worth risking their lives here for a few fruits.

As descendants of demons, they possess exceptionally keen senses and detected the threat of death. The mastiffs, no less powerful than them, died quickly inside—a stark warning.

"Fellow Daoist, we only had a minor conflict, nothing to do with each other to the death. I will offer you some compensation."

Wang Xuan spoke up, after all, with the two that arrived later, all eight extraordinary monsters were present. If it really came to a bloody battle, he and Old Chen would most likely have to pay a considerable price.

He didn't want to engage in pointless fighting.

Wang Xuan took out a demon cultivation diagram from his package. It was seized from the Black Horned Beast and was originally given to Great Grandmaster Horse. However, after that sycophant started circling around the Little Fox Immortal, he looked down on this kind of rogue cultivation method.

Several monsters stared intently at the demon cultivation diagram, their eyes widening in amazement. They were now considered independent cultivators, having long lost all the knowledge left by their ancestors and lacking any systematic cultivation methods. Now, their eyes gleamed with brilliant light.

The battle, which could have been a lose-lose situation, came to an end, and the several extraordinary monsters retreated with the cultivation diagram.

A rich aroma of meat wafted from the mountains and forests. Wang Xuan and Old Chen were enjoying a hearty meal, drinking from the Earth Immortal Spring and eating dog meat.

Such a large, extraordinary mongrel was killed by them. If they were just thrown away, it would be a terrible waste. It was a rare and highly nourishing food.

Not far away, the surviving extraordinary prisoner from Yuhua Star felt a chill run down his spine. Such a powerful mastiff had been killed so quickly and eaten by the two of them!

Old Chen said, "We have to leave one alive. If the monsters from the eight Eight Great Supernatural Lairs report that we killed law enforcers, we won't be able to explain it. After all, we can't kill them all at once to silence them."

In fact, Old Chen was indeed chased out of the depths of the secret place by the Mastiff and the Yuhua Star, even though he himself originally intended to sneak out.

Then Old Chen mentioned the Jade Talisman, one for each person, but each one had a different value.

According to the Old Earth's classification standards, the Supernatural Practitioner who came to the secret realm this time could not exceed the level of herb gathering, which consists of four levels from mist to herb gathering.

"Deep within the secret realm, for each opponent we defeat, we divide their rank by our own rank to get the score we receive."

If Supernatural Practitioner at the Mist level kills a herb-gathering expert, they will directly receive four points. Conversely, if a herb-gathering expert kills someone at the Mist Realm, they will only receive 0.25 points.

This is a disguised way of restricting high-level Supernatural Practitioner.

In fact, the four ranks are just four minor realms within a Great Realm. Some extraordinary individuals are extremely strong and can kill opponents of higher levels across ranks.

Wang Xuan looked at Old Chen and said, "When you first came to the Secret Land, you were at the Misty Mist level. Later, you advanced to the early stage of the Burning Lamp realm, and now you have reached the perfect Burning Lamp realm. Is this situation good or bad?"

Old Chen laughed and said, "Even if you break through, it doesn't matter. When you hunt down your opponents, your rank will still be calculated based on when you first came to the secret realm. This is to encourage geniuses who can continuously break through."

The extraordinary dog meat was roasted to a golden-brown luster, with the oil dripping onto the fire and sizzling. The two ate with great relish, their bodies brimming with energy and vitality.

"What? The mastiff has summoned its friends and even invited a monster at the level of a herb gatherer?" Wang Xuan and Old Chen used their Mental Power to intimidate the prisoner, bringing his mind to the brink of collapse, and extracted this information through interrogation.

Each of them carried a large piece of roasted dog meat on their backs, and with their captives, they decisively departed, leaving the outer area.

The journey was smooth; powerful extraordinary beings traveled without being easily hindered, even by monsters of some renown.

They arrived deep within the secret realm, Old Chen led Wang Xuan straight to a cliff area Earth Immortal City, where the White Peacock lived.

This White Peacock was fairly impartial and there were no controversies surrounding it. Moreover, it was powerful enough to be more formidable than the other law enforcers.

The White Peacock stands on the cliff. It is up to five meters long, and its body is as white as jade without any flaws. It looks like it has the blood of Immortal Bird.

It showed a strange expression, having seen Wang Xuan before, when it was talking to the Female Daoist practitioner.

At that time, it only glanced at him briefly and realized that Wang Xuan was still a mortal. But now, not many days later, he has actually stepped into the Supernatural Domain.

The White Peacock asked Wang Xuan's name and dropped a Jade Talisman with demonic characters engraved on it: Wang Xuan, Mist.

Old Chen brought the prisoner from Yuhua Star closer and cautiously and earnestly explained the situation, saying that someone had colluded with law enforcement to strangle him.

"Please, senior, help me. If you don't believe me, you can use your powerful mental strength to search his sea of consciousness to determine the truth."

The extraordinary individual from Yuhua Star collapsed to the ground, because once demons explored his spiritual realm, he would likely suffer a terrible fate, his sea of consciousness would be shattered.

In the end, he readily confessed everything.

The White Peacock flapped its wings, signaling Wang Xuan and Old Chen to leave, without saying anything more.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, leaving no hidden dangers, and Wang Xuan and Old Chen quickly drove away.

However, not long after, they sensed something was amiss. Outside the Earth Immortal City, figures emerged from the woods, all carrying intense killing intent, and they were about to hunt them down together!

This hatred and intense resentment made the two of them very uneasy; something seemed to have happened here.

However, Wang Xuan and Old Chen were puzzled, as they had not done anything that would anger heaven and man.

In an instant, the two of them thought of Old Zhong. Could it be that the old man had done something?

"Kill those two extraterrestrial demons!"

A group of people, shouting, charged forward. There were dozens of superhumans, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Wang Xuan and Old Chen turned and fled, doing everything in their power to break through the encirclement, fighting their way out and disappearing into the distance in one direction.

Soon, they learned that Old Zhong had indeed done something that enraged the Supernatural Practitioner the three Supernatural Planet.

Old Zhong doesn't follow the usual path!

Deep within the secret land lies a nest of Silver Bee, far more terrifying than the poisonous bees found in the outer regions; the nest is as massive as a mountain.

Old Zhong collected a large amount of pollen that was deadly to Silver Bee. Then, during one of his outings, he sprinkled it on a group of superhumans and shot a fiery Arrow Feather that ignited part of the hive. This caused several-meter-long Silver Bee to swarm through the air, relentlessly attacking the superhumans.

Old Zhong had an Alloy Armor made of Sun Gold, which protected him completely. He was also prepared in advance and hid in a crack in the ground when it was critical.

Wang Xuan was speechless. No wonder Little Zhong dared to forge Protective Gear with Sun Gold. It turned out that Old Zhong had collected quite a lot. He had even forged Alloy Armor before entering the secret realm!

Old Zhong hid in the crack in the ground and escaped unharmed. He then went to collect the corpses and obtained enough Jade Talisman to end the confrontation early, which was permitted.

He's hiding in the Earth Immortal City and won't come out.

"That Old Schemer, he's transcended worldly affairs, but I've become the scapegoat!" Old Chen roared angrily.

He felt that Old Zhong was too much of a jerk. His vicious and cunning actions, his insidious and ruthless methods, made him so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Damn it, Old Zhong!" Old Chen couldn't help but curse. This was going to ruin him.

Now he is an enemy of the world in the secret realm!

Everyone knew that he and Old Zhong were a well-known duo. Now Old Zhong has gone solo and is hiding in the city, leaving Old Chen out there to face everyone's anger.

At this moment, Old Chen really wanted to storm into the Earth Immortal City and ask Old Zhong, "Doesn't your conscience hurt? I'm still outside the city!"

Wang Xuan was also dumbfounded, and finally couldn't help but sigh, "Old Zhong is indeed a ruthless person, extremely dangerous."

However, it seems that the law enforcement officers have taken a liking to Old Zhong and are currently being interrogated in the Earth Immortal City.

"That old geezer is too ruthless! I've never seen such a wicked old man before. He's even more insidious than my grandfather!" In the Earth Immortal City, the Little Fox was commenting on the matter. It chattered away, telling Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin what had happened.

Thanks to: Sao De Si Le, thank you for your support, Alliance Leader!
