Chapter 132 - The Penglai Immortal Stone and the Monster

Everyone’s dejected auras were instantly gone. Someone said, “That’s great, Elder Ye. As expected, it’s not that we don’t want to take revenge, it was only because the time hasn’t come yet. These despicable people should be dealt with like this. Let’s see if they still dare to casually rob others next time.”

The people of the Tai Qing Sect divided these things, and with Ye Xuan’s presence, they had a lot more confidence in their hearts.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ye Xuan suddenly saw a purple light flash behind one of the disciples. If he didn’t look carefully, he would easily miss it.

“Yu Hai, come over here.”

Yu Hai was overjoyed to be called out by Ye Xuan. He quickly stepped forward and asked, “Elder Ye, why did you ask for me?”

Ye Xuan reached out and touched his back. As expected, he seemed to have touched a layer of powder. It felt a little sticky, and even his hand was a little purple.

Everyone quickly came over. Someone asked, “What’s this? It seems to be phosphorus powder?”

Yu Hai scratched his head and didn’t pay much attention to it. He replied, “Maybe I accidentally got some dirt on myself.”

Ye Xuan was about to observe carefully, but he seemed to hear something. Not far away, he heard a familiar beast roar, and his expression changed slightly.

“Did you guys hear something?”

“No, I didn’t hear anything.” Everyone was stunned and shook their heads.

Ye Xuan had a bad feeling about this. He remembered the white monsters pouncing on him before he left.

What if they caught up?

Moreover, he wasn’t sure if they had any restrictions on their movements. If they could get out of that strange place, they would definitely come looking for trouble again.

“Strange, those monsters shouldn’t have any sense of smell. How did they track me?”

Ye Xuan carefully recalled the earlier scene. It seemed that those monsters didn’t appear until he took out the Penglai Immortal Stone. Could they have come for the Penglai Immortal Stone?

As long as the stone was in his hands, they would be able to track him down. Wasn’t he in great danger now?!

The more Ye Xuan thought about it, the more he felt this was possible. He told everyone, “We can’t stay here for long. Let’s quickly leave.”

Seeing his sudden change in expression, everyone hurriedly asked, “What in the world happened, Elder Ye?”

“I suspect that those monsters might catch up to us.”

The people of the Tai Qing Sect were shocked. If even Ye Xuan found it so difficult to deal with those monsters, they would all the more be unable to handle them. Everyone packed up and left.

Ye Xuan was still unaware that there was another group of people galloping toward them. It was Li Zhe, Bai Haoyu, and the others from the Misty Illusory Manor.

The small butterfly was guiding the way in the air, its purple wings fluttering dreamily. With every flap, it would sprinkle a faint phosphorus powder. The people of the Misty Illusory Manor followed behind in an orderly manner.

“According to the tracking butterfly, the group of people from the Tai Qing Sect is nearby. The stone must be in Ye Xuan’s hands. This time, Mo Jianming is not here. Let’s see who can protect him.”

It turned out that long before they entered the secret realm, the people of the Misty Illusory Manor had already done something to the disciples of the Tai Qing Sect. Their goal was to find them as soon as possible, and they didn’t even care about the treasures in the secret realm.

In any case, those treasures were in the secret realm and would not grow legs to run away.

Bai Haoyu’s eyes darkened as he said, “Master told me earlier that this stone is related to Penglai Immortal Island and could possibly affect this secret realm. He told me that we must get it.”

It was a pity that the random teleportation in the secret realm had separated them from the Tai Qing Sect by thousands of miles. Otherwise, they would have already arrived.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother. The people from the Tai Qing Sect aren’t strong. It’s a piece of cake to deal with them. And that Ye Xuan, we can’t let him escape again this time.”

Just as Ye Xuan was hurrying on his way, he seemed to have noticed something. A sharp aura hit him in the face, and he suddenly said, “Be careful, everyone!”

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, a huge rock flew in the air and smashed a deep pit in the ground, blocking everyone’s way. Fortunately, everyone dodged in time and no one was injured.

“What’s going on? Where did the rock fall from?”

The surroundings were flat and there were no signs of falling gravel, so it was probably man-made. Ye Xuan said calmly, “Why hide in the shadows? This doesn’t seem like what a gentleman should do.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the people from the Misty Illusory Manor also walked out. Bai Haoyu said with a fake smile, “Elder Ye, where are you going in such a hurry?”

Looking at the purple butterfly in the air and the phosphorus powder on Yu Hai’s body, Ye Xuan instantly understood everything. The Misty Illusory Manor had been plotting against him from the outside.

“You don’t have to beat around the bush when you speak.”

Bai Haoyu laughed heartily, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He said, “Elder Ye, you’re a forthright person. I’ll get straight to the point then. Hand over the stone, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

“What stone? I’ve already told you that it’s not here. It’s possible that the peddler remembered it wrong or sold it to someone else. Why are you still here bothering me?”

Bai Haoyu snorted coldly, “Elder Ye, don’t take us for fools. We’ve already searched the soul of that peddler from earlier. We’ve seen his memories, and the stone was indeed sold to you.”

Soul-searching was a forbidden technique that could read a person’s life. However, the person whose soul was searched would end up in an extremely miserable state. At the very least, they would become mentally retarded. At the very worst, they would suddenly die.

Ye Xuan’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t expect that they would involve the lives of innocent people. He commented, “You’re all so vicious.”

Bai Haoyu’s expression was fierce as he said, “This is how the cultivation world works. If you know what’s good for you, hand it over. Otherwise, all of you from the Tai Qing Sect will die here.”

The Misty Illusory Manor was like a mountain of rocks, blocking all their escape routes.
