Chu Luo and his companions had just stepped through the membrane of light.
Suddenly, Chu Luo noticed the scenery around him shifting at breakneck speed.
He froze, instinctively looking toward his fellow disciples beside him!
Of the dozen or so core disciples who had been following him, only six remained!
Dan Chenzi and the dozen core disciples from the Pill Sect had also vanished!
In the blink of an eye, Chu Luo and those six core disciples found themselves amid an unfamiliar mountain range!
"What... what happened?!"
"Where are the other senior brothers?!"
"We must have been scattered when we entered the secret realm!"
The six core disciples looked back and realized their fellow disciples were gone as well.
But as core disciples of a top-tier power, none of the six panicked. They calmly assessed the situation.
All six turned to Chu Luo.
The man at their head asked, "Senior Brother Chu, what do we do now?"
"We'll follow your lead!"
Chu Luo nodded and was just about to tell them to use their sect tokens to contact the missing disciples.
Suddenly, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted straight into his nostrils!
Chu Luo paused and looked into the distance.
At the foot of the mountains not far away, he spotted a Medicine Field!
"Senior Brother, it's a Medicine Field!"
"Whoa... so many spirit herbs!"
"They look pretty high-grade, too!"
The six core disciples also spotted the nearby Medicine Field and cried out in surprise!
"Come on!"
"Follow me and loot it!"
With a sweeping wave of his hand, Chu Luo immediately led the six core disciples flying toward the nearby Medicine Field.
Once they reached the Medicine Field.
Chu Luo discovered that even the lowest-grade spirit herbs growing in the Medicine Field were spirit-grade!
"This is... spirit soil!"
Chu Luo sensed an exceptionally dense concentration of spiritual energy in the field.
His brows furrowed, and he crouched to scoop up a handful of soil.
He exclaimed outright!
Spirit soil was nothing new to him.
There was a tiny patch of Spirit Soil on Elder Zhao Sheng's main peak!
Even that tiny patch of Spirit Soil was something Zhao Sheng treasured like a precious jewel!
Yet here, there was an enormous expanse of Spirit Soil!
"Hahaha..."
"Senior Brother Chu, we've struck it rich!"
"If we take all this spirit soil back to the sect, we'll never have to worry about running out of spirit herbs again!"
The disciples were instantly thrilled as well.
"Then what are you standing around for?!"
"Start digging!"
"Dig three feet down! Don't leave even a speck of spirit soil behind!"
Coming to his senses, Chu Luo urged them on, his face brimming with excitement.
"Yes!"
The six disciples immediately rolled up their sleeves, intending to strip the entire Medicine Field bare!
"Hahaha..."
"To think there's a Medicine Field here!"
"Huh?"
"Someone beat us to it!"
Just as the six core disciples began stripping the Medicine Field bare, unwilling to spare even the ground beneath it.
Suddenly, several figures flew in from afar and arrived in the sky above the Medicine Field!
Chu Luo looked up and saw ten people overhead!
There were both men and women among them, all dressed in matching attire.
They were presumably disciples from the same power!
Chu Luo raised his eyes slightly, his gaze settling on the young man at their head.
That man's cultivation was actually at the Primordial Beginning First Realm!
Of the other nine, four were at the first or Second Realm of the Divine Soul Realm.
The remaining five were all in the beginningless realm!
"Hmph!"
"We're disciples of the Forbidden Sect!"
"We found this place first!"
"Get lost!"
Boom...
The six Forbidden Sect disciples who were looting the Medicine Field.
Their expressions turned icy as they looked at the ten people in the air.
All six unleashed powerful auras at the same time.
Every one of these six core disciples was in the divine soul realm!
Most of the Forbidden Sect's core disciples were in the divine soul realm.
Yet they could not make it onto the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking.
Because some of them were already several hundred years old...
The auras of six divine soul realm cultivators also cowed the newcomers!
"The Forbidden Sect!!"
Seeing the sect robes worn by Chu Luo and his companions, the ten newcomers' expressions flickered uncertainly...
The other nine all looked toward the young man at their head!
This young man was named Liu Feng!
He was a prodigy ranked one hundred and eighteenth on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking!
He came from the Heavenly Gate Sect of the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
Although the Heavenly Gate Sect was nowhere near the Forbidden Sect's level.
It was still a major power within its own world!
Rumor had it that a Great Emperor ancestor even presided over the sect!
And Liu Feng was the Heavenly Gate Sect's young sect master!
"You lot should get lost!"
"The Forbidden Sect's belongings aren't so easy to steal!"
"Even if you steal our spirit herbs, can you take them home?"
"Two Ancient Sage elders from our sect are standing guard outside the secret realm's entrance!"
"If you don't want to bring trouble down on your sect, then scram!"
Chu Luo grinned, kindly offering them some advice.
"Young Sect Master..."
The Heavenly Gate Sect disciples all looked toward Liu Feng at their head.
They were no strangers to Chu Luo.
Earlier, outside the secret realm, the Forbidden Sect had nearly gone to war with Crimson Flame Valley because of Chu Luo!
The sight of the Forbidden Sect fiercely shielding its own was seared into their memories!
"Young Sect Master... that... that's spirit soil!"
"Whoa... this whole Medicine Field is actually made up of Spirit Soil!"
Just as Liu Feng was about to give up.
A Heavenly Gate Sect disciple beside him suddenly noticed the Spirit Soil in the Medicine Field radiating dense spiritual energy and cried out.
Chu Luo's brows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed slightly. Hidden inside his sleeves, his hands began rapidly forming seals...
Liu Feng paused, then took a closer look. It really was spirit soil!
Spirit soil was exceptionally rare, a treasure beyond price!
He had never expected to find such a vast expanse here!
At that moment, a flash of greed crossed Liu Feng's eyes...
"Well? Aren't you leaving?!"
Chu Luo grinned at them, keeping his hands hidden inside his sleeves.
As he spoke, Chu Luo also gave the six disciples a meaningful look.
The six core disciples immediately caught his meaning and hurried to gather the Medicine Field's spirit herbs and spirit soil!
A thought flashed through Liu Feng's mind, and he quickly made his decision!
"Heh..."
"Leave?"
"Everyone who sees the spirit soil deserves a share!"
"Unless your Forbidden Sect hands over half of the Spirit Soil!"
"Then we'll leave at once!"
Liu Feng sneered as he looked at Chu Luo.
"Oh?"
"And what if we refuse?"
Chu Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, wearing a harmless smile.
"Then you can only die!"
Liu Feng's expression chilled, and an immense power surged from his body, bearing down on them.
The nine Heavenly Gate Sect disciples beside him immediately unleashed their auras as well, enveloping the entire area!
"The great beginning realm!!"
The six Forbidden Sect core disciples also stopped what they were doing.
They drew their weapons, preparing to meet the enemy!
"You dare rob the Forbidden Sect?"
"Have you decided you've lived long enough?"
Chu Luo smiled faintly, a flicker of killing intent passing through the depths of his eyes!
"Heh..."
"I know you. Your name is Chu Luo, right?"
"As long as we slaughter every last one of you here, no matter how fiercely the Forbidden Sect protects its own, they'll never know we did it!"
"You lot deal with those core disciples!"
"I'll slaughter this brat, then come help you!"
Liu Feng shifted his tone and instantly stepped forward, charging at Chu Luo.
"Yes, Young Sect Master!"
Boom...
The other nine Heavenly Gate Sect disciples immediately charged at the six men in the Medicine Field.
"You're courting death!"
The six core disciples leaped up to meet the Heavenly Gate Sect disciples in battle!
At the very same moment!
With a savage expression, Liu Feng reached Chu Luo!
Fear appeared on Chu Luo's face.
Seeing this, Liu Feng laughed aloud:
"Brat, today I'll erase your name from the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking!"
Liu Feng thought Chu Luo had been frightened witless by his might.
And so he let his guard down!
Just as he raised his palm to smash it into Chu Luo's forehead.
Chu Luo's utterly terrified expression suddenly changed, and he grinned...
"Forbidden Secret Arts, God-Slaying Heavenly Poison!"
Boom...
