Chapter 977: Chapter 621: Ecstatic, Yet Each Unwilling to Yield
"The secret realm is closing?"
"And it’s closing within an hour!"
"We can finally get out?"
...
Upon seeing the space vortex above the sky, and the information that suddenly appeared in their minds,
the disciples of the Qiankun Sect and members of the Gongsu Family were first taken aback, then all showed expressions of ecstatic joy.
For the past year, they had tried every method and were unable to find a way out.
Unexpectedly, now that the secret realm is about to close, it voluntarily wants to let them out.
"Hahaha, Gongshu Yu, it seems the heavens are not on your side. Now that the secret realm is about to close, even if I tell you the secret of the mutant beasts, you probably don’t have the time to hunt them anymore. What now, do you still want to fight us?"
Qin Zheng suddenly laughed heartily at this moment.
Gongshu Yu’s face suddenly became unsightly.
But he knew that Qin Zheng was right.
The secret realm is closing within an hour, even if he knew the secret of the mutant beasts, it was too late to hunt them.
Looking at Qin Zheng’s smile, Gongshu Yu found it particularly glaring.
He had an impulse to order the complete annihilation of these Qiankun Sect disciples right now.
But in the end, with great determination, he suppressed this impulse.
Qin Zheng is no weakling; his cultivation is only a notch below his.
If they were to fight, even if he could kill them all, his side would undoubtedly suffer significant losses, and it would likely result in a pyrrhic victory.
And after a battle, whether they have the strength to leave the secret realm is another matter.
After all, in this strange secret realm, flying consumes a lot of energy.
Most importantly, if they engaged in a battle, even if they won, there would be no benefit to gain.
Having thought this through, Gongshu Yu finally suppressed the desire to kill in his heart.
With a cold snort, he turned and left, "Let’s go!"
Seeing Gongshu Yu and the others leave and their figures completely disappear, only then did Qin Zheng let out a sigh of relief.
If possible, he certainly didn’t want to go to war with them.
Although over the past year, after refining exotic beast bloodlines, their strength had improved considerably.
But if they fought with Gongshu Yu and his people, it would likely result in mutual destruction.
Now that the other side is willing to retreat, it’s naturally the best outcome for him.
"Second Senior Brother, what should we do now?" Ye Qingzhu asked.
"First, rest for a while and adjust our state to the best condition, then prepare to leave this secret realm," Qin Zheng said without hesitation.
According to the information just received, the secret realm will completely close in at most an hour, so they don’t have much time to waste.
Otherwise, they might be trapped here forever.
Chu Xiaoqing was a bit anxious, "But, Brother Chen..."
"Since we can all sense the warning of the secret realm, surely Mr. Chen can too. If he is still in the secret realm, he will inevitably get this message," Qin Zheng said.
"Indeed, with Mr. Chen’s strength, leaving the secret realm is quite easy. Instead, if we don’t conserve energy, we might not be able to fly to the space vortex above," Zi Xiao also nodded.
The others, upon thinking, felt a chill in their hearts.
Zi Xiao was right, flying in this secret realm is no simple task, and the higher they go, the more terrifying the mana consumption is.
With the height at which the space vortex appears, if they don’t take it seriously, they might not be able to reach it.
Thinking of this, all the Qiankun Sect disciples couldn’t help but become solemn: "Understood, Second Senior Brother!"
"Daoist, are you leaving with us?"
Qin Zheng then turned to look at the Five Treasures Daoist.
"Naturally." Five Treasures Daoist nodded.
Now that he could finally leave, he certainly didn’t want to stay here any longer.
"If that’s the case, let’s all start resting."
While the Qiankun Sect disciples were adjusting their breathing, other strong individuals in the secret realm were also filled with joy.
Especially the loose cultivators, who were incredibly ecstatic.
"Can we finally get out?"
"I thought I would die in this damned secret realm!"
"After returning, I will immediately retire and never explore a secret realm again!"
"Brother Liu, what a pity, you ultimately didn’t last until this day."
This past year, life in the secret realm was incredibly torturous for many loose cultivators.
Many even died from mutant beast attacks due to depleting their elixirs and spirit stones, with no way to replenish their mana.
So, knowing they could finally leave, it was no exaggeration to say that the loose cultivators were overjoyed.
Immediately, all the loose cultivators, regardless of everything, rushed madly towards the location of the space vortex.
"The secret realm will close in an hour?"
In a certain part of the secret realm, Ba Tian casually slain a mutant beast and then stored it in a space treasure.
"Oh well, over these days, I’ve managed to collect some beast corpses. Bringing them back for the clan’s alchemists to study might unlock some secrets."
Ba Tian was still somewhat interested in the potential secrets within the mutant beasts.
Especially after witnessing Lu Qing’s powerful performance in the Ancient Tower Space, he became even more concerned about it.
In his view, with Lu Qing’s strength, there must be a reason behind his frenzy in hunting mutant beasts.
Unfortunately, the clan members who accompanied him were all trained in combat-oriented techniques and couldn’t unlock the secrets within the exotic beasts.
Therefore, he planned to kill some mutant beasts and bring them back for the clan’s alchemists to research.
"I wonder whether that person truly perished on Bone Mountain, or if they found fortune."
Ba Tian looked towards the direction of the Ancient Tower.
"Is this secret realm really closing?"
In some ruins, the Daoxu Temple Daoist, wearing a Star Daoist Robe, also looked at the space vortex in the sky.
"Are we leaving?"
On another side, Shen Cangfeng looked at the space vortex, his eyes showing reluctance.
Entering the secret realm this time, he hadn’t gained anything significant; after leaving the Ancient Tower Space, he explored other ruins but gained very little.
He wasted a whole year, and this made him unwilling to accept it.
"Alas, just one more step, and I could have broken through this ruin!"
In an underground ruin, a veiled, cool woman from the Biluo Palace also felt discontent.
Half a year ago, they discovered this underground ruin. After laboriously breaking it down, they were on the last step, and now they were informed that the secret realm was closing.
"Oh well, there’s ultimately no fortune for me."
The cool woman sighed, finally deciding to leave.
Within these ruins, who knows what’s inside.
In one hour, the secret realm will close; if she gets trapped inside after entering, she’ll truly never get out.
Weighing the options, the cool woman had to make a choice.
As the cultivators in the secret realm began to leave one after another,
Lu Qing, who was still in closed-door cultivation in the Mysterious Space, was also awakened by a voice at this time.
