With the addition of the Spirit Devouring Beetle King, the couple’s gains from entering the Sunset Secret Realm were already astounding.
If word got out, it would surely incite envy from everyone.
At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan took out a beast-controlling bag and had the Spirit Devouring Beetle King and its “subjects” all crawl into it.
The grade of the beast-controlling bag wasn’t very high, and the Beetle King seemed somewhat reluctant to enter.
However, under Jiang Chengxuan’s insistence, it had no choice but to comply. Thankfully, Jiang Chengxuan had already promised to procure a higher grade beast-controlling bag for it once they left the Sunset Secret Realm.
After a while.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan left the underground cavern.
They were now heading towards a place called the Crimson Green Forest according to the information obtained from Pei Daoqi.
This was an area with a red sky and numerous green spiritual plants.
According to their knowledge, the place always harbored a field that could trap people in illusions.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators would be dragged into these illusions for a certain period once they entered.
Only those with strong wills or exceptional primordial spirit could escape or remain unaffected by these illusions.
Their purpose in visiting this area was to seek out the Wood Earth Ganoderma, a main ingredient for crafting the Eastern Green Dragon Flag, which could only be found in the Crimson Green Forest.
At this moment.
As the couple flew towards the Crimson Green Forest, they encountered over a dozen figures who had set up a blockade line, seemingly intending to stop everyone from proceeding.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan noticed that these figures were all Nascent Soul cultivators from various major Soul Formation forces.
This made the two of them frown.
What did they mean? What were they doing?
At this moment, three Nascent Soul cultivators arrived from afar.
When they saw the blockade in front of them, they immediately took off a storage ring from their bodies without any hesitation and handed it to a man in the uniform of the Three Suns Sect.
After the man took the storage ring from the other party, he looked at it.
After inspecting the ring, the man nodded and allowed them to pass the blockade line.
This scene opened Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s eyes; they had never imagined that these Nascent Soul cultivators from major Soul Formation forces were collecting tolls from passersby.
This was really despicable.
However, they were puzzled about the standard of these tolls. Was it based on their gams in the secret realm, or something else? If they didn’t clarify this, they might end up being fleeced.
Just then, three more cultivators approached.
Two men and a woman.
They were all Nascent Soul cultivators.
Just like the three people before them, they handed a storage ring to the cultivator from the Three Suns Sect and waited quietly for his reaction.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan thought that it would be the same as last time.
The cultivator of the Three Suns Sect would let them go after taking the other party’s storage ring.
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly attacked.
Together with the other three people beside him, they attacked one of the male passers.
In an instant, the male cultivator’s body exploded on the spot.
Then, his Nascent Soul did not last long and was quickly annihilated.
When the other two saw this, their expressions immediately changed.
Without another word, they immediately turned around and fled into the distance.
This scene completely stunned Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were completely baffled by the contrasting outcomes of the two groups. While the first three were allowed to pass, the latter three not only failed to cross but also faced sudden attacks from those people.
Swoosh, swoosh—
As two Nascent Soul cultivators fled, transforming into high-speed beams of light escaping in the opposite direction, they even employed forbidden secret techniques to increase their speed by a further threefold.
This action caused the Nascent Soul cultivators from Three Suns Sect, who were hot on their heels, to grow increasingly desperate and angry.
The cultivator from the Three Suns Sect turned his gaze to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan and coldly commanded, “You two, immediately pursue those traitors from Rising Sun Hall, or else you will be considered accomplices and dealt with accordingly!”
Jiang Chengxuan was speechless.
And so was Shen Ruyan.
Speaking of which, what was Rising Sun Hall?
And why were these people reacting so strongly?
At this moment, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan suddenly realized that
Rising Sun Hall might be a force or organization in opposition to the Three Suns Sect.
Otherwise, there was no need for such a reaction.
Instinctively, the couple exchanged glances and nonchalantly stepped aside, showing no intention of pursuing Rising Sun Hall cultivators, nor of leaving the scene.
This angered the cultivator from the Three Suns Sect, who was unaccustomed to being defied by any cultivator outside their own sect.
In the cultivation world of the Eastern End, no cultivator other than the few
Soul Formation forces dared to disobey the orders of the Three Suns Sect.
Immediately, four or five cultivators from the group flew out to confront Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
The leader, a grim-looking man in Three Suns Sect attire, brandished a red ring.
As he activated it, it erupted with terrifying flames, launching an attack directly at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“Dare to defy our orders, and you must also be remnants of Rising Sun Hall Kill them!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the three to four Nascent Soul cultivators beside him also attacked.
In an instant, barrages of sword light, saber light, and spear shadows enveloped Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes.
They had done nothing wrong, yet they faced such an undeserved calamity. If
they were to be killed for not assisting these people…
Since that was the case…
Clang!
Suddenly, a resounding sword cry echoed through the air.
In the next moment, an extremely dazzling sword light burst forth.
There was a series of cracking sounds.
Before the attacks could arrive, they were all annihilated by Jiang Chengxuan’s sword.
The male cultivator’s face changed drastically, but before he could react, an even more fearsome sword light loomed large in their pupils.
“How is that possible?”
The cultivators were shocked to their core.
Instinctively, they all summoned their intrinsic True Treasures, but it was futile.
Under Jiang Chengxuan’s Golden Void Sword, their treasures were either deflected or shattered on the spot, with some even exploding into a ball of flame in mid-air.
“Arghhhh!”
The first to be struck, a cultivator whose treasure was destroyed, was torn apart by Jiang Chengxuan’s sword light, along with his Nascent Soul, vanishing into nothingness.
The remaining cultivators, witnessing this, were filled with terror.
They couldn’t fathom who this formidable person was, and how such a figure had emerged in their Eastern End Cultivation World.
BOOM!
As the remaining cultivators, including the grim-faced man, pondered in shock, Jiang Chengxuan’s Golden Void Sword transformed into a streak of light.
There was a series of rustling sounds.
In an instant, the sword pierced through their bodies..
