Slaying
"How could this happen?"
"The secret realm is collapsing?"
On White Jade Giant Mountain, Tie Xin Ku and Huang Yue emerged from an Immortal's Cave Mansion. They stared at the violently changing sky, utterly horrified.
Then they looked at Xie Wufeng and Xia Qinghe. "Senior Brother and Senior Sister, what on earth happened?"
"How would we know?"
Xie Wufeng answered coldly, but exchanged a subtle glance with Xia Qinghe, having formed a few suspicions. "Whatever the case, escaping this place is our best option... Otherwise, if we get caught in the storm of the secret realm's collapse, even a Taiyi Immortal will be injured!"
"Exactly!"
Though the four disciples were reluctant to leave the treasures covering the mountain, they had no choice. They fled along the path they had taken in.
Fortunately, as the secret realm collapsed, its restrictions were also breaking down. The way back was much easier to clear than the way in.
"What a pity..." Huang Yue watched the scene, feeling as if her heart were bleeding. "In an environment like this, if we stayed just a little longer, we might be able to snatch another immortal artifact!"
With the restrictions collapsing, obtaining treasures had naturally become much easier.
"I'm just afraid we'll get our hands on them, but not live long enough to enjoy them!"
Tie Xin Ku took it in stride. "But... what about Senior Brother Qiu Tian Feng and Junior Brother Li Hun?"
"Senior Brother is exceptionally capable. He must have a way to protect himself. But Junior Brother Li Hun..." Huang Yue shook her head, clearly not holding out much hope for him.
Just then, her expression froze. Her eyes seemed to catch sight of a figure—the unmistakable shape of Li Hun!
But the next instant, the figure vanished, like an illusion.
