273: Chapter 40: The Entrant_2 273: Chapter 40: The Entrant_2 This place rather resembled a ruined ancient kingdom.
Xie Xuanyi saw in the depths of the Black Evil fog, there were towering stone pagodas and vaguely visible outlines of buildings.
He did not know what had happened a thousand years ago.
But he could feel that something at the end of this ancient battlefield was summoning him.
He walked for a moment longer.
Xie Xuanyi suddenly felt a stir in his heart.
He incredulously raised his eyebrows and released his Divine Thought…
At the end of this shattered path of Black Evil, there surprisingly was a portal.
This was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that there were fresh traces of battle around this portal.
And.
The broken Sword Qi belonging to Xie Xuanyi himself.
“This is the ‘Sword Qi Mark’ I left behind…”
Xie Xuanyi slowly approached the portal, knelt down, and looked at the Sword Qi debris in front of the portal.
The Northern Hunt back then.
He did not have time to explore the Secret Realm where the Divine Fruit was located.
So he hastily set up his own Sword Qi Marks at several portal nodes.
The purpose was that one day, upon returning to Snow Mountain, he could quickly find the transmission array patterns!
Xie Xuanyi never expected.
To accidentally enter the Ancient Battlefield of Resentful Ghost Ridge…
to find here a trace of Sword Qi Mark he left behind!
“So, this ancient battlefield is actually a layer within the Divine Fruit Secret Realm?”
Xie Xuanyi narrowed his eyes.
The Sword Qi Mark he had left behind had already been destroyed.
And it had just been destroyed recently!
This indicated that others had entered this Secret Realm.
“My Sword Qi Mark left in the outermost layer of Snow Mountain has been discovered?”
Xie Xuanyi released his Divine Thought and silently sensed the residual auras in front of this transmission array pattern.
“Hmm…
there are three people…”
“One aura is very familiar…”
“Jiangning Xie Family…
Red Dragon Cave Heaven!”
Xie Xuanyi extended two fingers, pinched a wisp of residual Primordial Energy, silently crushed it, and the red aura dissipated in the wind.
He was quite certain.
Three people had already come to this place.
And one of them was none other than Xie Sheng, Prince Jiangning, who was defeated by him in Xuanshui Cave Heaven.
The swordsmanship aura of the Xie Family, Xie Xuanyi was very familiar with.
Of course.
Xie Sheng’s Red Dragon Skill, the traces were too obvious.
“Interesting.”
Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow, he also sensed the residual fluctuations of the Thunder Technique nearby.
With this.
The identities of the three entrants could be roughly guessed.
It was said that Xie Sheng came to the Imperial City with Yu Wenzhong, the Qiantian Palace Saint, traveling together on the same Cloud Ship.
Therefore, there was a high probability that they would enter this place together.
The other person who used the Thunder Technique could only be either a Taoist disciple from Tai Shang House or a fairy from Yuqing Pavilion.
The fairy from Yuqing Pavilion, the next candidate for Pavilion Master Shang Yi, as recorded in the Fang Yuan Dossier, adheres strictly to the rules and values the face of the Taoist sect greatly.
The probability of Shang Yi traveling with Xie Sheng and Yu Wenzhong was extremely low.
Thus, the identities of the three could be determined.
“It seems they were in a fluster.”
Xie Xuanyi also discovered traces of blood and a dense evil aura in front of this transmission array pattern.
These three people.
Had come from another direction…
The evil aura was quite dense.
It looked like.
Before coming here, there had been a big battle, even thunder techniques had been used, yet they still did not gain the upper hand and could only flee in haste.
Seeing this clue.
Xie Xuanyi was puzzled.
These Black Evil cavalry seemed to have no strong aggressiveness towards him…
Why were these three being pursued?
…
…
“Brother Qi Yu.”
Outside Snow Mountain, Tai Shang House and Qiantian Palace continued to hold their positions.
A Taoist disciple, with a worried expression, came to the side of the second senior brother of Tai Shang House and whispered, “It has been several hours… There’s still no movement inside this Secret Realm array pattern, might Senior Daozi have encountered some trouble?”
“What did you say?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu’s eyebrows raised.
His stern gaze swept across.
The Tai Shang House disciple quickly fell silent.
“Senior Daozi’s talent is extraordinary…
reaching Perfect Cave Heaven at such a young age.”
Qi Yu retorted, “Just a Northern Hunting Secret Realm, how could it pose him any difficulty?”
The disciple carefully replied, “I’m worried…
about that demoness just now…”
“What trouble can one demoness stir up?”
Qi Yu expressionlessly said, “Three Perfect Cave Heaven together, what danger could they possibly encounter?
Even if there really is, could I help by going in, or could you?”
With that said.
The disciple had nothing to retort…
Senior Daozi’s strength was far beyond his by tens or hundreds of times.
This Northern Hunt also included the secret treasure of Tai Shang House.
“Brother Qi.”
On the other side.
Chen Li from Qiantian Palace couldn’t help but transmit his voice, “What exactly is going on inside this Snow Mountain?”
Qi Yu’s expression remained unchanged, calmly transmitting back, “Brother Chen, there’s no need to panic.”
Almost half a day had passed.
Although Qi Yu appeared calm on the surface.
He was not entirely certain in his heart.
This Snow Mountain Secret Realm, marked by Xie Xuanyi’s Sword Qi years ago, clearly contained great fortunes!
Yet, three saint-level figures had gone and were yet to send any message.
This was indeed puzzling.
Could it be.
Behind this Secret Realm lay an extremely dangerous place?
Or perhaps.
The fortune was too great, engulfing those who entered, making them unable to extricate themselves?
“I heard that the Taoist sect sent out two pavilions for this Northern Hunt.”
Chen Li whispered, “Tai Shang House and Yuqing Pavilion have always had a close relationship…
Considering the uncertain conditions within Snow Mountain Secret Realm, if support is needed, perhaps it would be wise to call that fairy from Yuqing Pavilion to join forces…”
Qi Yu paused for a moment.
He looked at Chen Li with a complicated expression.
Before Senior Daozi entered the Secret Realm, he had repeatedly stressed not to let others step into this place.
The purpose was to prevent powerful forces outside the Taoist sect from detecting this Secret Realm.
