Chu Luo and Yun Qianqian led their junior brothers and sisters deeper into the secret realm at full speed.
The moment they entered its depths,
a crimson sea of fire came into view.
The many experts standing guard outside the sea of fire seemed to sense their arrival and turned toward Chu Luo's approaching group.
"More people are coming!"
"That's... Fairy Yun from the Cloudmist Sacred Land!"
"Look, everyone! There are Forbidden Sect disciples too!"
"That young man is Chu Luo!"
"Chu Luo is here!"
"Strange. Why is Fairy Yun with Chu Luo?"
Once the experts present recognized the newcomers, cries of surprise rang out.
The moment Chu Luo's name was spoken, the atmosphere subtly changed...
The many experts present wore expressions of anticipation, eager to watch the show.
"Hmph!"
"So you finally came!"
Han Wujie watched the figures approaching from afar, his expression darkening.
An icy gleam flickered in his eyes...
Beneath his foot lay a Forbidden Sect disciple, his face battered and swollen!
Several more Forbidden Sect disciples and Pill Sect disciples lay around him.
Every disciple from the two sects was bruised, swollen, and seriously injured.
Their lives, however, were not in danger!
Clearly, even the Crimson Flame Valley and the Spiritclear Sect did not dare kill these Forbidden Sect and Pill Sect disciples on the spot!
After all, two Ancient Sage elders from the Forbidden Sect stood guard outside the secret realm!
They did not dare kill disciples of the two sects in front of so many witnesses...
Meanwhile, on the Spiritclear Sect's side,
Wang Lin, Zhu Yue, and Lü Changkong followed everyone else's gaze.
Wang Lin's expression was as cold as frost, an icy light flashing in his eyes...
Chu Luo and the disciples beside him froze as soon as they arrived.
His group stopped in their tracks.
They immediately noticed their junior brothers lying on the ground!
There were also more than a dozen seriously injured Pill Sect disciples!
Chu Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and his expression darkened...
"S-Senior Brother Chu..."
"Don't worry about us... Run..."
"Those bastards from the Crimson Flame Valley and the Spiritclear Sect... They're despicable..."
"Senior Brother Chu..."
Upon seeing Chu Luo's group, the battered Forbidden Sect disciples lying on the ground immediately shouted warnings.
"Senior brothers! Junior brothers!"
"Damn it, those bastards really went all out!"
"Bastards... Fine, fine! The Crimson Flame Valley, is it? The Spiritclear Sect, is it?"
"The Forbidden Sect will remember this!"
The Forbidden Sect disciples beside Chu Luo flew into a rage when they saw how brutally the Crimson Flame Valley and Spiritclear Sect disciples had beaten their fellow disciples!
Chu Luo swept his gaze around, his eyes settling on Han Wujie, Du Sheng, Zhao Tianyu, Zhu Yue, and Lü Changkong. His expression remained calm.
But a trace of killing intent flashed deep in his eyes...
"Young Master Chu, be careful!"
"The three leading the Crimson Flame Valley disciples are prodigies on the Heavenly Prodigy Ranking: Du Sheng, Zhao Tianyu, and Han Wujie!"
"Those two from the Spiritclear Sect, Zhu Yue and Lü Changkong, are also ranked prodigies!"
"Both are in the great beginning realm..."
Beside him, Yun Qianqian knitted her delicate brows and warned Chu Luo.
Chu Luo nodded slightly.
To him, their names no longer mattered.
Because today, every one of them would die here!
"Chu Luo!"
"You won't be leaving today!"
Han Wujie kicked aside the Forbidden Sect disciple beneath his foot and sneered.
"Han Wujie, you're fucking asking to die!"
Han Wujie's action enraged the Forbidden Sect disciples beside Chu Luo!
They rolled up their sleeves and were about to attack.
But Chu Luo stopped them, secretly transmitting his voice to his junior brothers:
"Junior brothers, don't act rashly!"
"Leave this to me!"
"Find an opening to rescue our junior brothers and the Pill Sect disciples!"
"Then get as far away as you can!"
"I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you later!"
The Forbidden Sect disciples paused at his words, then nodded and suppressed their fury!
Chu Luo glanced at Han Wujie and gave him a harmless smile.
"You're a defeated dog I beat so badly last time that even your own mother wouldn't recognize you, and you still dare jump out here and bark?!"
"I should have beaten you to death last time!"
"Since you can still stand here barking, it looks like those old fossils from the Crimson Flame Valley saved your life!"
"This time, that undying old bastard Flame Lord isn't here to protect you!"
Han Wujie instantly flew into a rage, his expression turning utterly grim!
He wanted nothing more than to charge over and slice Chu Luo into a thousand pieces!
His defeat at Chu Luo's hands had been the greatest humiliation of his life!
At the same time, he could not help feeling shocked!
This little bastard had only been in the beginningless realm last time.
In just one month, he had reached the fourth stage of the divine soul realm!
No wonder their higher-ups wanted to snuff him out...
"Heh..."
"Every last one of you from the Forbidden Sect is a sharp-tongued, arrogant fool!"
"You're merely at the fourth stage of the divine soul realm, yet you dare speak so insolently?"
"You insulted my sect. I'm afraid you'll have to pay for that today!"
Standing in front of Han Wujie, Du Sheng stepped forward and spoke with a cold gaze.
Then his powerful aura at the first stage of the great beginning realm enveloped the entire area.
Du Sheng swept his hand.
The dozen or so Crimson Flame Valley disciples behind him surrounded Chu Luo's group.
Chu Luo merely spared Du Sheng a glance.
That harmless smile remained on his face!
No one noticed the two colors flowing across his palms beneath his sleeves, one black and the other purple...
And neither emitted the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power...
"Chu Luo, did you kill our Junior Brother Luo?!"
Just then, Zhu Yue and Lü Changkong stepped forward, staring at Chu Luo as they demanded an answer.
More than a dozen Spiritclear Sect disciples joined the Crimson Flame Valley disciples in blocking their retreat!
At the sight, the experts from the other factions reveled in their misfortune.
These Forbidden Sect disciples probably would not be leaving today!
Although the Spiritclear Sect and Crimson Flame Valley disciples did not dare kill Chu Luo's group in front of so many witnesses,
a vicious beating was certainly unavoidable.
They might even have their cultivation crippled...
Chu Luo looked at Zhu Yue and Lü Changkong, shrugged, and smiled.
"You mean that kid with the spear?"
"That's right. I killed him!"
"I kindly warned him back then, but he insisted on courting death. You can't blame me for that..."
The moment Chu Luo said this,
every Spiritclear Sect disciple present was enraged.
Zhu Yue's expression darkened. "Good, so you admit it!"
"Chu Luo, surrender without a fight!"
"Our sect's higher-ups will decide what to do about you killing one of our direct disciples!"
"All you need to do is come back to the Spiritclear Sect with us!"
Chu Luo shook his head, still smiling. "What if I say no?!"
"Do you dare kill me?"
"My master is a Great Emperor!"
"If you dare touch a single hair on my head, you'll probably spend the rest of your life cowering inside your sect!"
Zhu Yue froze, his expression instantly darkening.
"He doesn't dare, but I do!"
"You're the one who killed Luo Yu?!"
"Kill yourself!"
"Consider it a gesture of respect to Great Emperor Yin Ya of the Forbidden Sect!"
"Otherwise, if I have to do it myself, you won't even leave an intact corpse!"
Wang Lin, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward and addressed Chu Luo with a sinister expression.
Chu Luo paused, looked Wang Lin over curiously, and grinned.
"Who are you?"
"Is something wrong with your brain?"
"All you spout is idiotic bullshit!"
"Kill myself? Why don't you kill yourself!"
"Show my master some respect and kill yourself right now!"
"I've seen stupid people before, but never anyone as stupid as you. You don't even use your brain when you speak!"
"Even a pig isn't as stupid as you!"
"Hahaha..."
"Well said, Senior Brother Chu!"
"Hahaha... He looks presentable enough, but he talks like he doesn't have a brain!"
"Exactly... Who does he think he is? A Great Emperor?!"
The Forbidden Sect disciples beside Chu Luo could no longer hold back their laughter.
Their Senior Brother Chu really had a way with words...
The surrounding spectators stared in stunned silence!
They had never imagined that this Forbidden Sect disciple, who was only at the fourth stage of the divine soul realm,
would shoot his mouth off and even dare insult someone from the Desolate Ancient Wang Family!
He was truly courting death!
"Shut up!"
"Chu Luo, you're asking to die!"
"This is Wang Lin of the Desolate Ancient Wang Family!"
"He is the grandson of the Desolate Ancient Wang Family's Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor!"
"Insulting Young Master Wang is the same as insulting the Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor! Even your master Yin Ya won't be able to protect you!"
Zhu Yue berated him furiously.
At those words, everyone present looked at Wang Lin in shock.
None of them had expected Wang Lin to be the Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor's own grandson!
"Heh..."
"So what?"
"Forget his grandson. Even if that old bastard, the Evil-Suppressing Great Emperor, were here himself, I'd curse him just the same!"
Chu Luo shrugged.
"You're courting death!"
"Kill him!"
"My Wang Family will take responsibility for whatever happens!"
Furious beyond measure, Wang Lin swept his hand!
Boom...
