Chapter 167 Disaster of Sects
" Look! The spatial crack is already trembling. The jade pillars are starting to get dim."
" I guess it's time for Azure Sun Secret Realm to get closed."
" Hehe, I wonder which group of disciples harvested the most resources?"
" I think it must be the Imperial Family's faction. Both princes took some of the powerful servants with them after all."
" The Six Sword Pavilion and Purple Cloud Sect can't be that far either, right?"
" Look! They are coming out!"
Three days were already passed as people were standing outside of the Azure Sun Secret Realm with anticipation and exercise. The resources of Azure Sun Secret Realm are abundant and sought by all the powerhouses.
If one got those ancient treasures and powerful medicinal herbs, their cultivation would soar without any trouble. Not to mention, the corresponding powerhouses would also benefit from that.
After all, powerful and talented disciples along with rare and exotic treasures and resources can definitely make a faction grow tremendously.
" Look, Disciples are coming out!"
" Liu Family disciples, They are all alive!"
" Six Sword Pavilion disciples came back!"
" Purple Cloud Sect's disciples are also back."
" Huh? Prince Qin Zhong and only two guards?"
Qin Zhong's facial expression was ugly as he walked out along with two of his soldiers. General Zhou Han and the other people from the Imperial Family were shocked when they saw Qin Zhong.
" His Highness Third Prince, Where are your protectors and other teammates?"
" Yes, His Highness, I don't see anyone."
" Dead... They are all dead." Qin Zhong spoke with a trembling voice. General Zhou and other's expressions changed when they heard Qin Zhong.
" What?! What did you say?!"
" Where are Prince Qin Chen and his team? Didn't you guys accompanied by several protectors of Peak stage Harmonization Realm?"
" How is this possible? You guys had the most powerful treasures and weapons."
" Indeed, What could have happened?"
" That damned monster!" Qin Zhong clenched his fist. " It was so powerful that the guardians needed to use their full powers. Yet the moment they used their true cultivation, the realm laws of Heavenly Emperor activated and killed them instantly."
" Even Old Master Luo of the Low stage of Nine Transformations of Soul Realm died within a moment."
" Damn it! Heavenly Emperor's law! How could they forget about that?"
" To think it would be still so powerful even after thousands of years."
" I don't know about Qin Chen and others. I saw an opportunity and used the Great Yin Water Shifting Talisman and escaped." Qin Chen's voice turned weak. " That monster was simply invincible. Even hundreds of cultivators attacked, it still killed them mercilessly."
General Zhou and others looked at each other with stunned faces as they couldn't understand what to do."
" General Zhou, I guess we can only wait. " Daoist Zhi of Pill Martial Hall spoke with a quiet voice. " I don't think anything happened to His Highness Qin Chen."
" Look! Aren't they Four Seasons Valley's disciples?"
" Oh my god, Look at them! Their aura is so pure."
" They must have gotten a lot of resources from the secret realm. Their cultivation base seems to be increased."
" Look, Saintess Mu is also out. Huh? Are they carrying someone?"
" Ah, could it be their True Disciple, Long Ming?"
" I can't see the face clearly though."
Wu Liang and other elders were shocked as they hurried to them.
" Long Ming? Did something...Huh?"
Mu Qingliang and Ming Yuexin held a person as they raised the cloth on that's person's face a bit. Wu Liang's expression turned strange when she realized it was none other than Chu Li.
" Wh-What is the meaning of this? Where is Long Ming?" Wu Liang asked in a hushed voice.
' He is still inside the secret realm. We need to pretend that he came out with us, to not people suspect anything.' Mu Qingliang spoke with voice transmission.
Hearing Long Ming was still inside the Azure Sun Secret Realm, Wu Liang became anxious. However, seeing Mu Qinglian's expression, she decided to play along.
" Mu Qinglian, What did you say? Long Ming is injured?" Wu Liang was *shocked* " Hurry up and take him back to our cultivation manor."
Ming Yuexin rubbed her face in embarrassment. " Master, Can't you act a bit...Better."
But they pretended and took *Long Ming* away from the crowd. Wu Liang made Chu Li sit in a carriage and sent her back.
" What the hell is happening? The secret realm door is about to get closed."
Elder Chi of Blissful Heaven Temple was growing anxious as he kept looking at the gate. " Where are my sect disciples?"
" Indeed, Green Cloud Mountain's disciples didn't come out either."
As the door became fainter, a few Zhongye Sect disciples came out. After a while, the spatial crack closed as the jade pillars dimmed down.
" Shan'er, What happened? Where are your senior brothers Yan Ziren and Shu Yanlin? Where are other disciples?"
" Elder Deng, only we came out?" The disciple was shocked. " The senior brothers and sisters went to the Central Palace because the restriction was finally broken."
" However, we waited and waited, and none of them came out. We even waited near the exit of the secret realm. We thought they must have gotten out earlier, so we came out."
The Elder Deng of Zhongye Sect was shocked when he heard that. " Impossible! They didn't come out at all!"
" Central Palace's restriction got broken?"
" What the hell exactly happened?"
" Does that mean...Disciples of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain got wiped out completely?"
" Hisss!"
Everyone sucked a breath of cold air as they looked at the ugly expressions of the elders of Blissful Heaven Temple and Green Cloud Mountain.
" No-No... It can't be possible."
" Our disciples! The...They can't be!!"
Wu Liang was also surprised as she glanced at Ming Yuexin. " Xinxin, what exactly happened inside?"
Ming Yuexin chuckled as she whispered. " What they are thinking is true. All of them are dead as they can be."
" Oh my..."
Wu Liang was stunned when she heard that. " Really?"
" Indeed. Besides, we even harvested so many resources that our sect couldn't spend it even after spending a few centuries."
" Wu Liang, What is the meaning of this?"
Wu Liang grinned as someone shouted her name. Turning around, she saw Elder Chu of Blissful Heaven Temple glaring at him.
" Why all the disciples of Four Seasons Valley are safe yet my Blissful Heaven Temple's disciples are missing?"
" Well, Isn't it obvious?" Wu Liang sneered. " My disciples are obviously talented. How can your trash sect's trash disciples stay alive in a secret realm?"
" Wu Liang! You think our Blissful Heaven Temple is scared of you?" Elder Chu's face turned livid as his cultivation aura exploded out. n/.o(/V.-E--L/-B./1--n
" Hmph, Do you think I would back down?" Wu Liang snorted as she pulled out her saber.
Flames combusted around her like explosions as they turned into beautiful flowers burning like a setting sun. The flowers circled around her saber as she pointed it out.
" Elder Chu, You aren't alone. I also want to hear the truth." An elder from Green Cloud Mountain also joined it.
Suddenly, the there became tensed as they watched the scene. Wu Liang took a deep breath as she still mocked.
" My, Such hypocrisy and cowardness, I am truly enlightened today." Wu Liang grinned as she pointed at Qin Zhong. " Instead of asking Third Prince Qin Zhong, who is the sole survivor of the Central Palace, you dare to ask my disciples of Four Seasons Valley?"
" You truly showed your true face, Chu Nan. Your Blissful Heaven Temple is just so-so."
Everyone's expression changed when they heard that. General Zhou saw the attention of the crowd target at Qin Zhong and the Imperial Family. Before she could say anything, Mu Qinglian stepped out.
" Other than me, All the Four Seasons Valley disciples made their basecamp in the Herbal Sanctuary of Inner Zone. Therefore, they are unrelated to anything that happened in the Core Zone."
"As for your Blissful Heaven Sect and Green Cloud Mountain, I only saw your disciples entering the Central Palace. Aside from that, I didn't see them at all."
Her voice is powerful and imposing as the true qi rippled in the air. Even cultivators of the Harmonization Realm felt the authority of Mu Qinglian.
" Have you guys listened?" Wu Liang snorted as she sheathed her saber. " Everyone, Let's go. Sect Master is eagerly waiting for you."
" Yo-You!!"
The sects who suffered the loss became angry. Yet they don't have any reason to stop Four Seasons Valley disciples. Besides, since Mu Qinglian already pointed out, it's better to get clarifications from Qin Zhong.
Barely the moment after the Four Seasons Valley disciples left, a golden bird landed before General Zhou, passing him a letter. The moment General Zhou opened the letter, his expression changed instantly.
" What is it?"
Imperial Steward Fu asked General Zhou with curiosity. Seeing the letter, even Steward Fu was shocked.
" Fourth Prince is dead. His soul lamp has shattered. Meanwhile, Princess is alive and living."
" Fate is truly mysterious." Steward Fu sighed. " Perhaps it's time for Princess to return to the palace."

" You are a fucking beast."
Jiang Wanxue glared at Long Ming as she tied her clothes. Long Ming gave a nonchalant shrug as he also wore back his robe. However, Looking at?Jiang Wanxue, he couldn't help but remember the taste of her tantalizing body.
" Long Ming, if you are thinking something nasty, I will kill you even if endangers my life." Jiang Wanxue's eyes turned cold when she noticed Long Ming's expression.
" Alright, No need to worry, Princes Wanxue."
Jiang Wanxue paused as she turned around. " I am still Jiang Wanxue for now, not Qin Wanxue."
" I see." Long Ming nodded casually as he walked out, leading Jiang Wanxue. He took out a seal and poured some spiritual qi into it.
" Haah, You finally got up, huh?"
An old man appeared before them, making Jiang Wanxue startled. Long Ming bowed. " Greetings, Ancestor Huang."
" It's alright. Get up." Ancestor Huang nodded as he looked at Jiang Wanxue.
" Ancestor Huang, since that monster is killed, we can use the great teleportation formation, right?" Long Ming asked.
" Well, Thankfully, I have repaired it." Ancestor Huang nodded. " We can use it."
Elder Hao also came as he smiled at Long Ming. Soon, they boarded on a pavilion.
" Where are we going?" Jiang Wanxue asked curiously."
" Straight to Four Seasons Valley."
