Trouble Stirs Again

Within the crowd, Lan Yin and Kong Ling looked extremely tense.

Before them stood Hai Ji, who was staring intently at the two of them.

There were more than a dozen corpses lying around; anyone who did not surrender would only face death.

The two never expected that their trip, which was just for fun, would lead to this kind of situation.

They've already said they know Chen Feng; now all that's left is to wait for the results.

Whether Chen Feng would let them go was something they couldn't predict.

After all, the Void Spirit Clan had a grudge against Chen Feng in the past. Although it was eventually resolved, the Void Spirit Clan had indeed done something to harm Chen Feng.

Just then, Chen Feng appeared in front of the three of them.

Upon seeing Chen Feng, Hai Ji immediately bowed:

"Greetings, Master."

Chen Feng waved his hand. "You go ahead and get busy."

Hearing this, Haiji didn't linger and immediately turned and left.

Chen Feng turned his gaze to Lan Yin and Kong Ling, and said with a smile, "It's been decades since we last met, and you two fellow Daoists are still as dashing as ever."

Upon seeing Chen Feng standing before them, both Lan Yin and Kong Ling felt a jolt in their hearts.

Lan Yin nervously began, "Greetings, Senior Chen Chen."

Lan Yin originally wanted to address Chen as Fellow Daoist, but considering Chen Feng's current strength, he felt it was inappropriate and instead addressed him as Senior Chen.

Kong Ling also bowed to Chen Feng:

"Kongling greets Senior Chen."

Kong Ling kept her head down, not daring to look at Chen Feng at all.

"Tell me about your Void Spirit Clan," Chen Feng inquired.

Upon hearing Chen Feng's question, the two dared not conceal anything and immediately recounted the situation of the Void Spirit Clan over the years.

From the two of them, Chen Feng learned about the current situation of the Void Spirit Clan.

Since the battle in the Weiyang Starfield, the Void Spirit Clan has given up attacking the Weiyang Starfield. The Weiyang Starfield, now at the half-step Dao Integration stage, is undoubtedly a tough nut to crack for the Void Spirit Clan.

Not only in the Weiyang Starfield, but the Void Spirit Clan's operations in other starfields have also been unsuccessful.

Therefore, the Voidlings ultimately decided to cooperate with other star systems and acquire a piece of land from them for development.

Of the nine star regions, only the Dinghai Star Region meets the criteria.

Other star systems wouldn't accept such a behemoth as the Void Race into their star system, but the Dinghai Star System is different.

With the strength of the Sea Fork Clan, they have no fear of the Void Spirit Clan causing trouble on their territory.

"Senior Chen, the clan leader already issued an order after the last incident, to drop all bounties on you," Lan Yin said, explaining the situation.

"Is that so? Then should I thank your Void Spirit Clan?" Chen Feng sneered.

He has always been a vengeful person. The Void Spirit Clan has caused him trouble many times. Now they want to let it go? Do they think he's a fool?

Upon hearing Chen Feng's words, both Lan Yin and Kong Ling felt a chill in their hearts.

Judging from Chen Feng's tone, the other party clearly had no intention of letting the matter rest.

In the past, the Void Spirit Clan might not have cared.

After all, Chen Feng's strength was insufficient back then, but now, Chen Feng can kill half-step Dao Integration cultivators with ease, which is a completely different matter.

Their clan leader was only at the half-step Dao Integration stage.

"Senior Chen, our Void Spirit Clan is willing to make amends for our past mistakes. Please give us a chance!"

Thump! Lan Yin knelt down directly in front of Chen Feng and pleaded.

Seeing this, Kong Ling hesitated for a moment and then knelt down as well.

Neither of them displayed the arrogance typical of Spirit Transformation cultivators.

They had already witnessed Chen Feng's strength. If Chen Feng were to retaliate against their Void Spirit Clan, no one would be able to stop him unless the Dao Integration Elder appeared.

Although the Void Spirit Clan also has Dao Integration cultivators, such powerful individuals rarely appear in the world.

If Chen Feng were to hide and secretly attack the cultivators of the Void Spirit Clan, the Void Spirit Clan would be completely helpless.

Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the two kneeling figures before him.

"I will speak with your clan chief later."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yin immediately revealed a look of ecstatic joy. "Thank you, Senior Chen!"

Although Chen Feng didn't say he would give up on dealing with their Void Spirit Clan, he did offer a chance to negotiate, which Lan Yin considered enough.

"You two can go now," Chen Feng waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Lan Yin and Kong Ling didn't dare linger and quickly left.

"Master, are we really going to let them go? What if they tell us what happened here?" Haiji whispered a reminder from the side.

Chen Feng said, "Tell everyone? So what if they do?"

Upon hearing this, Haiji was speechless.

Yeah, so what if people find out what's going on here?

With their master's strength, they could practically roam freely in the Immortal Realm, so there was no need to worry about this.

Thinking back to how she had reminded Chen Feng and Hailong that they were stalling for time, Haiji suddenly realized that her words had been superfluous.

Just then, Fen Wuji walked over, and in his hand appeared dozens of primordial spirits and hundreds of strands of Primordial Spirit:

"Senior, everything is settled. Here are their primordial spirits."

Chen Feng put away his Yuan Soul and said, "Go and find the place within the secret realm where there is a celestial restriction as soon as possible. If you find it, activate the stellar energy within your body to notify me, and I will arrive immediately."

Upon hearing this, all three bowed respectfully. "Yes, sir!"

Chen Feng didn't say anything more and immediately disappeared from the spot.

After Chen Feng disappeared, Fen Wuji's expression immediately returned to normal. He looked at Hai Ji and Hai Ren and said:

"You're in charge of the Sea Fork Tribe members; I'll take the rest with me."

Hearing this, Hai Ji and Hai Ren naturally had no objections.

Although Fen Wuji was controlled by Chen Feng just like them, Chen Feng was a half-step Dao Integration level expert, so his status was naturally incomparable.

Soon, Fen Wuji left with a group of people.

Only a group of Sea Fork Tribe members remained in the arena.

These people stood beside Hai Ji and Hai Ren; there were more than a dozen Void Refinement cultivators in total.

There were more than one hundred Spirit Transformation cultivators.

The group looked dejected; they didn't want to die, so they all chose to surrender and hand over their Yuan Souls.

As for those who didn't surrender, they were already killed.

Haiji looked at everyone and said:

"We're all from the same clan, so I won't say much more. If you want to survive, then serve your master well."

"Don't feel wronged working for your master; he's a true Dao Integration level expert!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

If such a powerful being at the Dao Integration level truly exists, then their surrender to the other side is indeed not a big deal.

A Void Refinement expert hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Hai Ji, we all have the Jade's clone within us. It's likely that news of what happened here has already been leaked. Should we..."

Every member of the Sea Chariot Clan who enters the secret realm possesses a clone of the Immortal Jade.

With this clone, they can communicate with each other and also sense the location of their clansmen within the secret realm.

What just happened here has likely already been discovered by the other members of the Sea Fork tribe.

Haiji said without changing her expression:

"Don't worry, Master released his domain when he made his move, which suppressed the precious jade within us. The other clansmen only received the information before Master appeared."

"If other clansmen ask, we'll say that the two elders encountered a mysterious powerful figure after entering the hidden cave abode, and then the cave abode was destroyed. As for the specifics, we don't know anything."

The others nodded in understanding; although the reason was far-fetched, it was still plausible.

After all, the struggle between those at the half-step Dao Integration stage is something they, at the Void Refinement stage, cannot participate in.

outside world.

The elders of the Sea Chariot Clan stared grimly at the display on the Immortal Jade.

"Two half-step Dao Integration cultivators and eight Void Refinement cultivators—so many people have died in less than a month!"

The elder clenched his fist and spoke slowly and deliberately.

The two elders beside him said in a deep voice:

"Who on earth could kill both the Fifth and Seventh Brothers at the same time? With their strength, they could have escaped unscathed even if they had encountered Fen Wuji."

The elder clansman spoke up:

"Regardless of who did it, since they dared to kill members of my Sea Fork Clan, they should be prepared to pay the price. Contact Third Brother and have him find out the cause of Fifth and Seventh Brother's deaths!"

The second elder nodded emphatically. "Alright, I'll go prepare right away!"

Using the Immortal-Connecting Jade to contact one's clansmen within the secret realm requires paying a certain price.

But the deaths of two half-step Dao Integration cultivators are far too serious.

The Sea Fork Clan hasn't lost a half-step Dao Integration level expert for countless years.

If they don't investigate this matter thoroughly, they won't be able to explain it to their ancestor.

On the other side, Yin Yin remained seated cross-legged in the void.

The eyeball was standing obediently next to her.

The expressions on the faces of the two elders of the Sea Fork Clan were naturally noticed by his eyes, and he asked in confusion:

"These two juniors from the Sea Fork Clan look so pale, could something have happened within the secret realm?"

Yin Yin opened her eyes upon hearing this, and glanced at the two people sitting cross-legged in front of the Immortal Realm Secret Realm:

"The Sea Fork Clan obtained a piece of Immortal Jade in their early years, and this item can indeed reveal information about the secret realm."

"Tsk tsk tsk, there's such a good thing. Should I go and steal it?" Eyeball asked.

"You can try. If you show up, those two old guys from the Sea Fork Clan will definitely come out from the Sky Realm. Do you think you can defeat them?"

Hearing this, Eyeball gave an awkward smile, "Never mind then, it's been a month already, I wonder if that kid Chen has found that cave abode yet."

Yinyin didn't speak, but closed her eyes again.

Time flies like water, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Three months have passed since the opening of the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

In the past three months, the number of cultivators who entered the Immortal Realm has reached 30%.

Most cultivators died at the hands of evil beasts.

Although the casualties were severe, many people still gained considerable fortuitous opportunity, and the spiritual herbs and spirit medicine in the outer area were almost completely plundered.

Many monks began heading towards the deeper areas.

As time went by, the cultivators who were originally scattered throughout the Immortal Realm began to slowly gather together.

These gathered cultivators were also divided into different camps.

The Sea Fork Clan is undoubtedly the strongest; their numbers far exceed those of other forces, whether they are cultivators at the Void Refinement stage or the half-step Dao Integration stage.

Besides the Sea Fork Clan, there's also the Starfield Alliance.

Then there are other forces in the Dinghai Star Region and small groups composed of some Rogue Cultivator.

In recent months, significant conflicts have erupted between the two sides.

The news of the deaths of two half-step Dao Integration cultivators from the Sea Fork Clan also came from within the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

In the outside world, such news might spread throughout the entire star field within a day, but this is the Immortal Realm Secret Realm, where news can only be passed on by word of mouth.

The Sea Fork Clan explained the deaths of these two half-step Dao Integration cultivators by saying that a mysterious powerful figure had launched a sneak attack.

Therefore, the Sea Fork Clan also issued a bounty for this mysterious powerhouse. Any cultivator who has any clues about this person will receive a generous reward as long as they inform the Sea Fork Clan.

This news shocked many cultivators within the secret realm.

Two half-step Dao Integration cultivators have died! This hasn't happened in many years.

In the Nine Star Domains, those at the Half-Step Dao Integration stage are already among the most powerful beings.

In small star regions like the Weiyang Star Region and the Lingxi Star Region, there is often only one half-step Dao Integration level expert in the entire star region.

Everyone was speculating about who had the ability to kill two half-step Dao Integration cultivators from the Sea Fork Clan.

At the same time, where did the other party get the audacity to kill a half-step Dao Integration cultivator from the Sea Fork Clan?

It should be noted that the entrance to the Immortal Realm is guarded by the Sea Fork Clan. When the Immortal Realm closes, everyone will be inspected by the Sea Fork Clan.

The death of such a powerful figure would surely alarm the Dao-Merging Elder of the Sea Fork Clan.

Some people believe that the mysterious powerful figure who killed the Sea Fork Clan was likely not one of these outsider cultivators, but rather a monster from within the Immortal Realm's secret realm.

Many people believe this rumor, after all, those are two people who are half-step into the Dao Integration Realm.

There aren't many beings in the nine star systems that could easily kill them.

In the Immortal Realm, on a plain...

Fen Wuji was leading a dozen or so cultivators gathered here.

A seven-colored light was emanating not far in front of them.

This seven-colored light was clearly the light emanating from a celestial forbidden area.

"Master, our master has been inside for seven days, and we still don't know what's inside this hidden cave abode." The speaker was a Void Refinement cultivator.

This person is a Void Refiner from the Fire Brahma Star Domain and also a disciple of Fen Wuji. He joined Chen Feng's forces along with Fen Wuji in the past.

Fen Wuji said coldly:

"What's inside the cave abode is none of your concern. Our job is to guard this place and prevent anyone else from getting close."

Upon hearing this, the cultivator at the Void Refinement stage immediately laughed and said, "Master, don't worry, we have people all within a ten-mile radius of this area. No one can break in!"

For the past two months, Fen Wuji has been leading a group to help Chen Feng find a hidden cave abode.

The Starfield Alliance still has many cultivators. With so many people searching, Fen Wuji has found four hidden cave abode in the past two months.

Each time he discovered cave abode, he would activate the power of the stars within his body and notify Chen Feng to come over.

"I wonder how our master managed to disregard the immortal restrictions," the Void Refinement cultivator remarked with a sigh.

In the past two months, they have witnessed Chen Feng directly passing through the immortal barrier and entering the cave abode several times.

This also made everyone understand that Chen Feng did not enter the cave abode because he possessed a token of the cave abode, but Chen Feng himself was able to pass through the immortal barrier.

After discovering this, everyone felt even greater awe for Chen Feng.

In addition, Chen Feng would reward them with something every time he came out of the cave abode.

This made them even more eager to help Chen Feng find his cave abode.

Just then, a cultivator flew over from afar and anxiously reported:

"Someone's coming!"

Upon hearing this, Fen Wuji remained silent, but the disciple beside him asked in a cold voice:

"Why don't we just have someone come and handle it? Do we really need to report this kind of thing?"
