“This…”
Qu Yueping’s expression carried a hint of incredulity. Senior Brother Yan died just like that?
The news came from Yan Gongli, but by the time they rushed over, the time elapsed was extremely short. In the current situation where even peak bined Aperture Tempering realm experts are trapped, even if Yan Gongli couldn’t match his opponent, it’s unlikely that others could have stopped him from leaving.
This is the mysterious realm of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth leans only towards the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, making it difficult for those of the same level to gain an advantage against the disciples of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion.
Unless Yan Gongli encountered a siege from two or three experts in the later stages of the bined Aperture Tempering realm, ultimately leaving him with no way to escape, only then would he perish.
But judging from the scene’s traces, only one person attacked Yan Gongli, and the battle was brief but terrifying from start to finish.
The person who killed Yan Gongli executed him in a manner that was almost overwhelming!
At this moment, there is still such a character within the domain? How did they remain pletely unaware of this before?
Qu Yueping turned to look at Guo Xuanji and noticed that Guo Xuanji’s expression was extremely unpleasant, evidently, Yan Gongli’s death pletely caught him off guard.
“Senior Brother, was this also the doing of that Chen Fei?” Qu Yueping whispered.
Currently, the most suspicious person was undoubtedly Chen Fei, but from the information obtained, he was only in the mid-stage of the bined Aperture Tempering realm.
At most he was exceptionally strong and capable of challenging even heavily injured experts in the later stages of the bined Aperture Tempering realm. However, Yan Gongli had not been injured, and his condition was at its peak. Normally, Chen Fei would not have had the ability to kill Yan Gongli, especially in such a dominant manner.
“Let’s find this Chen Fei first!” Guo Xuanji said in a deep voice.
With no residual aura at the scene, Guo Xuanji couldn’t determine who exactly was responsible. But since the culprit seemed to be Chen Fei, they needed to locate him first.
Whoever killed Yan Gongli, now that they had entered this mysterious realm, they were ultimately going to die.
The only difference was whether they would die sooner or later!
“Understood!’1 Qu Yueping nodded.
Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping’s figures turned into shadows and disappeared. In less than a moment, they arrived outside the Bewilderment City.
There was no need to enter the city deliberately; the aura of the bined Aperture Tempering realm inside the Bewilderment City became clearly perceptible to them.
The Bewilderment City was intentionally created by the Fallen Heaven Pavilion, hiding many formations within it. However, these formations usually remained dormant, only activating their long-distance sensing ability when needed.
At this moment, there were over twenty bined Aperture Tempering realm experts within the Bewilderment City, but each one’s aura was not at its peak.
The longer these experts stayed in the mysterious realm, the weaker they became.
All these experts understood these principles, but they were clueless about the whereabouts of the Fallen Heaven Pavilion at the moment. Seeking it out was difficult with the eerie and treacherous conditions prevailing throughout the domain.
Waiting for various bined Aperture Tempering realm experts to arrive seemed like a viable option, but despite some time passing, the number of experts appearing was still insufficient.
From the moment they fell into this domain, nothing had gone smoothly. The sense of crisis constantly surrounded the minds of every bined Aperture Tempering realm expert, yet they didn’t know how to resolve it.
This predicament was indeed a deadlock, even a death trap!
Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping could sense the bined Aperture Tempering realm experts within the city, feeling their restless and uneasy emotions, precisely what the Fallen Heaven Pavilion intended.
However, there was no smile on Guo Xuanji’s face at this moment. The aura of that Chen Fei was not within the Bewilderment City.
The possibility that Chen Fei was the one who killed Yan Gongli seemed to increase slightly. But considering that only around a decade had passed since Chen Fei broke through to the bined Aperture Tempering realm, it was quite remarkable.
Reaching the mid-stage of the bined Aperture Tempering realm in such an exaggerated speed was already unprecedented. Within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, it could be said to be unparalleled, surpassing even Shen Yuanjun in his prime.
If Yan Gongli was truly slain by Chen Fei, and in such a swift manner, then what realm had Chen Fei reached?
Had he already reached the late stage of the bined Aperture Tempering realm?
In just over a decade, from entering the bined Aperture Tempering realm
to reaching its late stage?
Such a cultivation speed, if known by those strong figures in the Mountain Sea Realm like Min Yanlu, they would likely move to capture Chen Fei.
Even though the Mountain Sea Realm experts were already at a high position, they still aspired to progress further.
If Chen Fei had indeed acplished such cultivation in just over a decade, there must be secrets involved.
And such secrets might greatly benefit the cultivation of the Mountain Sea
Realm.
GUO Xuanji remained posed. Everything was still speculation at this point. To confirm, they needed to find Chen Fei.
If Chen Fei had truly advanced to the late stage of the bined Aperture Tempering realm, it would be a blessing for the Fallen Heaven Pavilion. The Fallen Heaven Pavilion would potentially produce another Mountain Sea Realm expert in the future.
Guo Xuanji’s strength surpassed that of Si Huayuan slightly. If there was indeed an opportunity for the Mountain Sea Realm, there was a great chance it would fall on Guo Xuanji.
Thinking about the Mountain Sea Realm, even with Guo Xuanji’s temperament, he couldn’t help but feel a slight ripple.
Among the peak bined Aperture Tempering realm experts within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there was not one who didn’t yearn for the Mountain Sea Realm. However, over the years, there were only a handful of Mountain Sea Realm experts within the Thousand Feathers Alliance.
Because of Ming Helu and Shen Yuanjun, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had hope of breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm, which is why they had taken such a desperate gamble.
Under normal circumstances, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion would never betray the Thousand Feathers Alliance. But because of the opportunity for the Mountain Sea Realm, the Fallen Heaven Pavilion had staked everything.
And now, it was almost time for the Fallen Heaven Pavilion to reap the rewards.
Half an hour later, Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping floated on a lake.
After a full half hour of searching, they had found nothing. Chen Fei seemed to have vanished without a trace.
If they hadn’t known that the entrance and exit of the mysterious realm were pletely sealed, they would have suspected that Chen Fei had already left the domain.
During the search, Guo Xuanji had instructed the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul to control some of the Evil in order to search for Chen Fei’s traces, but ultimately, they had found nothing.
“Senior Brother, can’t we directly lock onto Chen Fei’s location within the mysterious realm?” Qu Yueping whispered.
This mysterious realm belonged to them, so normally, locking onto someone’s position should be achievable.
-It is possible, but it would require consuming Shen Yuanjun’s power,” Guo Xuanji frowned.
Currently, Shen Yuanjun’s power was at the critical point of the Mountain Sea Realm. Every increase in power at this moment was a preparation for the final breakthrough to the Mountain Sea Realm.
The method recorded in the Minghe Record for breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm was fundamentally different from that of ordinary martial artists.
For a peak bined Aperture Tempering realm expert at the Three converging flowers Peak stage, they needed to induce the elemental energy themselves and plete the transformation of their soul when the majestic elemental energy poured in.
Each Step of the process was extremely perilous, and any slight mistake could lead to failure.
However, the Mountain Sea Realm formed through such a breakthrough, if the talent was sufficient, had the possibility to continue advancing in the future. Moreover, there were no drawbacks in terms of strength, and they would not be restrained by others.
On the other hand, the path taken by the Minghe Record was entirely different, focusing on continuously accumulating power until finally breaking through the barrier of the Mountain Sea Realm.
However, because it wasn’t achieved in one go, the breach in the barrier was very small, making it much inferior pared to a normal Mountain Sea Realm.
Moreover, it was filled with bizarre resentments and mixed forces, making it entirely impossible to continue advancing in the future.
If they were to use Shen Yuanjun’s power now, it would be equivalent to forcibly dragging down someone who was climbing a peak.
This wouldn’t just delay reaching the summit; it could potentially rum the entire ascent.
“SO what do we do now?” Qu Yueping also understood how crucial every bit of Shen Yuanjun’s power was at this moment. He would rather give up searching for Chen Fei than risk consuming Shen Yuanjun’s power.
Guo Xuanji pondered for a moment, but before he could speak, the jade pendant at his waist vibrated violently. Guo Xuanji’s expression changed slightly as he sensed the information within.
“You continue searching. If there’s any situation, notify me immediately and then move away first,” Guo Xuanji said before his figure disappeared into thin air.
Gu Danying had escaped!
Despite the Fallen Heaven Pavilion’s greatest efforts to seal Gu Danying, this direct disciple of the Mountain Sea Realm had managed to break free from confinement.
At this moment, Tan Bingxiu and Si Huayuan were intercepting Gu Danying, not because they were worried about Gu Danying joining forces with other ordinary bined Aperture Tempering realm experts, but because they feared unexpected circumstances arising.
The Fallen Heaven Pavilion now only aimed to plete all plans step by step. First, they would eliminate all peak bined Aperture Tempering realm experts. Then, dealing with the remaining bined Aperture Tempering realm experts would be a breeze. Gu Danying’s escape would only add variables to the situation.
Several dozen miles away, Gu Danying was covered in wounds, his aura at its lowest ebb.
Without the replenishment of elemental energy, his attacks couldn’t be augmented by elemental energy. Faced with the siege of Tan Bingxiu and Si Huayuan, Gu Danying had indeed exerted all his efforts to escape. Now, Gu Danying’s only trump card was the Mountain Sea Sword Intent hidden within his blade.
However, with two Fallen Heaven Pavilion experts present and the unique conditions of this place, there was already a sense of pressure akin to that of the Mountain Sea Realm.
GU Danying had some vague speculations in his heart, but he was unwilling to believe them. Because if his speculations were true, then all resistance within the mysterious realm would be futile.
Thirty miles east of the Bewilderment City, inside a cave, was where Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping had been unable to find Chen Fei all along. Chen Fei stood in front of a mural, watching a figure on it sprinting rapidly. However, no matter how fast the figure ran, it couldn’t escape the dark invasion from other positions on the mural.
Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping couldn’t find Chen Fei because he had activated the sea monster mark on his hand, pletely altering his aura.
Guo Xuanji and Qu Yueping had been relying on Chen Fei’s aura to find him, so naturally, with his aura changed, they couldn’t find anything.
pared to pletely concealing his aura, which would arouse suspicion, pletely changing his aura was much more effective.
By using the Dream Entry Technique to infiltrate Yan Gongli’s mind, Chen Fei had gained a lot of information, including how to manipulate elemental energy.
However, due to the fragmentation of Yan Gongli’s mind, the methods Chen Fei obtained were also fragmented. Now, Chen Fei needed to slay some anomalies to validate his ideas.
He didn’t need to pletely replicate the method; for Chen Fei, just manipulating a trace of elemental energy would be sufficient.
The mural on the mountain wall was an anomaly. It constantly emitted mental assaults, trying to drag Chen Fei into the mural. However, Chen Fei remained unmoved.
And the figure within the mural was none other than Tong Linyun, who had been separated from Chen Fei.
Chen Fei had sensed Tong Linyun’s aura nearby, which was why he had e to this place.
Observing the situation within the mural, if Chen Fei had arrived a little later, Tong Linyun would probably have perished inside, forever being part of the mural.
“Clang!”
A sword light flashed in the cave, and a piercing scream echoed in Chen Fei’s ears. He forcibly pulled Tong Linyun out of the painting, while a corner of the mural fell into Chen Fei’s hands.
Chen Fei looked at the mural in his hand and began to melt the Evil according to the method he had obtained..
