Boom!
Amid the thunderous roar, the entire Kunlun Secret Realm shook, as though it had suddenly sunk several feet.
The Kunlun Cultivators who had been training or going about their lives throughout the Secret Realm reacted at once. Some calculated on their fingers, while others rose to investigate. Even many who had been cultivating in seclusion were startled awake and, driven by unease, emerged to see what had happened.
"What on earth happened?"
"Has someone invaded the sect?"
"Could it be that madman from Taihua again?"
The mortals and other living beings in the Kunlun Secret Realm hurried back to their homes and nests in terror, praying under their breath.
For generations, those who lived in the Kunlun Secret Realm had enjoyed peace and tranquility. Though cultivation was beyond most of them and they could only venerate the True Immortals, they had escaped the sea of suffering of the mortal world. But in recent years, they had witnessed upheavals in the Secret Realm and invasions by outside forces several times. They were now like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow; only a few still dared to peer out their windows.
What they saw on the distant horizon were strange figures wreathed in radiance. Each glow seemed to hold fathomless mysteries and boundless power!
"Thirteen Fifth Realm Incomplete Dao Masters!"
Hanyanzi gripped a broken sword. Blood had dyed all his clothes red. He stared gravely at the figures nearby and shielded the people behind him.
Ahead, thirteen figures emerged from the Flat Peach Forest, each looking brazen and proud. The man at their head had long hair whipping in the wind and robes snapping around him. Thick Earth Aura coiled about his body, and he wore the air of one who looked down upon all under heaven.
