Chapter 318 Kicked Out of the Secret Realm
The core area of ​​Baohua Mountain Range at midnight
Each sect in the five regions left cultivators to guard outside the secret realm in case of any accidents. Just as the moon was high in the sky, all the Nascent Soul Venerables suddenly turned their gazes in the same direction as if they had sensed something.

Suddenly, a black hole appeared in mid-air without warning. The next moment, a black figure was ejected from it, and then the black hole closed and disappeared at the fastest speed.

"Hmph! It was him!"

With a flash, Venerable Haohui appeared opposite the shadowy figure. With a casual wave of his hand, a dazzling white light pierced through the opponent's dantian.

In the next instant, more Nascent Soul cultivators appeared in mid-air, their divine senses locked onto the heavily injured black figure.

Li Chang spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen. The spiritual energy within his body was rapidly leaking out. He had already suffered burns to his meridians and damage to his spiritual root from the Xuan Lei Zi Yan, and now Hao Hui had shattered his dantian with a single blow. He was completely finished this time.

At this moment, Venerable Minghong also arrived beside Venerable Haohui. With a calm expression, he unleashed a sword formation composed of sword energy, trapping Li Chang within it. Then, he raised his voice and said:
"Gentlemen, this person is Li Chang, the former city lord of Shuangshan City. Li Chang and his son collaborated with evil cultivators to set up the Nine-Round Sacrifice Array in Shuangshan City, attempting to break through and ascend. Later, they used human lives to refine evil zombies in the mortal world. They have already entered the Western Regions' wanted list for cultivators. Their appearance here this time is definitely suspicious. Please send a representative from each region to participate in the interrogation later."

Venerable Minghong succinctly explained the reason for Venerable Haohui's intervention, which was also to reveal Li Chang's identity to the other four domains and to draw everyone's attention.

The Nascent Soul cultivators from various domains tacitly bowed to Venerable Minghong. They all noticed that this person's cultivation was at the Nascent Soul stage, but he had clearly been rejected by the secret realm. However, when the secret realm opened, they were certain that this person was not among the cultivators who entered. So how did he get in? And how did he manage to deceive them, a group of Nascent Soul cultivators? These were all questions worth pondering.

The tranquility of the core of Baohua Mountain Range was broken, and there was also movement in the various garrisons. The white-browed old ape, the leader of Baohua Mountain Range, was also invited to the temporary Dharma House. He shook his white eyebrows and stared at the listless Li Chang in front of him with a pair of big copper bell eyes.

To prevent Li Chang from destroying his own sea of ​​consciousness, Venerable Haohui has already sealed off all of his power, and any slight movement from him will be detected.

Because Li Chang was from the western region and was captured in the Baohua Mountains, Venerable Minghong was appointed as the presiding judge, with Venerables from the other four regions attending as a precaution.

Venerable Minghong said with a solemn expression:

"Fellow Daoists, this person's sea of ​​consciousness is protected by a restriction, making it impossible to search his soul. I'm afraid we won't be able to get any information out of him."

Venerable Linlang of the Kun Demon Lord raised her hand to stroke her long black hair, and said coldly:

“If there are restrictions within his consciousness, then let his soul be separated; we can surely find out something from him.”

"Isn't this a bit cruel?"

"Hmph! The Immortal Transformation Sect wants to talk about morality with evil cultivators? How do you know he didn't infiltrate the secret realm to kill cultivators from the Five Regions?"

Don't forget, he's a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even you and I have to be careful when facing him. Everyone saw how several Nascent Soul cultivators entered the secret realm. He could easily avoid them if he wanted to, but he might not show mercy to Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivators.

Venerable Linlang's sharp retort silenced Venerable Huayu of the Immortal Transformation Sect.

The Venerables from the other three domains all had expressions of being used to it. The Kunmo Sect and the Huaxian Sect had always been at odds, and their disciples constantly fought amongst themselves. However, both sects tacitly agreed not to escalate the situation.

Now that the safety of the disciples entering the secret realm is at stake, Venerable Linlang is a bit anxious. However, the Venerables of the other three domains are also subtly siding with the Kunmo Sect. They can't compare to the Huaxian Sect. Losing a hundred or so disciples and still calmly discussing whether it's too cruel to the fallen cultivators? Didn't you see that Venerable Minghong hasn't said a word?

Venerable Minghong twirled his fingers, glanced at Venerable Huayu out of the corner of his eye, and then said to Venerable Linlang:
“Fellow Daoist Linlang, is there any way to separate Li Chang’s soul from his body? We must get something out of him, otherwise we can’t be at ease. The secret realm is full of promising talents from various sects.”

Linlang's expression softened considerably after hearing Minghong's words. Fortunately, Minghong was of sound mind, so she nodded, took a black and gold bell from her waist, and slowly said, "This is the Soul Control Bell, which I use to control the demonic puppet. It should be able to draw out its soul."

Upon hearing this, Minghong immediately said:
"Then please, Fellow Daoist Linlang, cast your spell. We will protect you."

"it is good!"

Linlang readily agreed, her slender, jade-like hand gently shaking the black-gold soul-controlling bell. An inaudible sound wave emanated from the bell and rippled towards the controlled Li Chang, causing Li Chang's body to twitch involuntarily.

All the Venerable Ones knew that the special sound of the Soul Control Bell could only be heard by the person it was targeting. They could clearly see ripples spreading into Li Chang's body. After a full five breaths, a phantom slowly emerged from the top of Li Chang's head.

The phantom had the exact same appearance as Li Chang, even wearing the same robe. While the phantom was still somewhat dazed, Venerable Linlang shook the Soul Control Bell again, and Li Chang's soul flew uncontrollably toward the Soul Control Bell.

"Do not!!!"

Li Chang screamed, but was still uncontrollably sucked into the Soul Control Bell.

"Amitabha!"

Master Yunyi of Yunmen Temple chanted a Buddhist prayer, maintaining the same speed as when he was turning his prayer beads. He did not say anything to stop them, as the Buddhist disciples of Yunmen Temple were also in the secret realm, and now was not the time to be soft-hearted.

After successfully capturing Li Chang's soul into the Soul Control Bell, Linlang raised her eyebrows and said:
"No wonder he was so relaxed; his soul was burned by the strange fire."

Venerable Minghong also felt that Linlang's soul extraction had been too smooth, and he hadn't expected it to be for this reason. He frowned and said:

"There's a strange fire in the secret realm? He was kicked out of the secret realm because he failed to subdue the strange fire?"

Linlang revealed a chilling smile and said:
"Fellow Daoist Minghong, please don't be anxious. I will examine the soul properly."

Li Chang, who had been sucked into the Soul Control Bell, had lost all self-awareness and was curled up blankly inside the bell.

When Yunxi left the spatial passage again, she found herself in mid-air. She immediately steadied herself and quickly released her divine sense. She discovered that she was in the rear of the giant beast tide. She could even see a large number of giant monsters besieging the valley, and the outermost third line of defense had been breached.

"How could this be? Didn't I already severely injure Li Chang, and Jing Ling kicked him out of the secret realm? Why haven't these corrupted giant monsters decreased in number?"

Yunxi frowned and muttered to herself.

“Master, the corrupted beast was brought in by Li Chang. He has now been kicked out. Your deal with the spirit of the realm is complete, but that thing is still in the secret realm. If you want to survive until the secret realm closes, you must destroy it.”

"Tsk, this spirit is really good at playing the game. I feel like he only gave me one reward, but wants me to do two things?"
