Gou Zai Yao Wu Simulated Immortal

"The gentle breeze has transformed the desolate, deathly landscape of just moments ago into a scene brimming with spiritual energy."

Looking back, the mountains and rivers remain the same.

You glanced down at your shoulder.

"The torn parts of the robe were still visible, and the bloodstains were not yet dry."

"Just to remind you, the dramatic turn of events just now was no illusion."

……

Li Qian rested his chin on his hand, but his brows furrowed more and more deeply.

Hu Luchen, who cultivated the Blood Mi Sect's techniques, killed the fellow cultivators who were investigating the Thunder Swamp Mountain incident.

The news had already spread like wildfire throughout Zilanfang Market.

Let alone venturing deep into the secret realm, even approaching Thunder Swamp Mountain would likely result in being watched closely by the Wu family.

However, this person not only did not become the target of public criticism, but also appeared in the depths of the secret realm before him.

Even amidst the ancient battlefield ruins where true spirits vanquished demons, magical artifacts remained unaffected and talismans unstained.

Could it be...?

Li Qian tapped his knee lightly with his fingertips, his eyes gradually darkening.

"Has the Wu family tacitly approved of Hulu Chen's presence in the secret realm?"

If that's really the case...

"The Purple Orchid Witch Clan and the Blood Mi Sect likely have quite a few connections."

But why does this secret realm recreate the old scene of the True Spirit vanquishing the Demon?

And what are those crimson moons and blood-red eyes hanging high in the sky?

What exactly does the person who is unaffected by the laws of gambling and deception rely on?

And why was I regarded as a remnant of the Blood Mi Sect by righteous cultivators at first glance?

Moreover, the phrase "I'd rather be myself" did not have any effect in that kind of scene, which means that the place was not an illusion at all.

Or is it that what's involved isn't just a simple illusion, but some higher-level rule?

Many questions lingered in Li Qian's mind.

Right now, we can only guess.

We'll have to wait and see what the truth is.

He slowly exhaled, immersing his mind once again in the simulation.

……

"You saw that the scene had returned to normal, so you didn't wander around blindly."

"We found a peak deep in the forest, put away the flying boat, and concealed our presence."

"Hide among the shadows of the ancient trees and observe your surroundings."

"Wait for the right opportunity, and await the return of the Sword Slave."

"The wind rustles through the treetops, creating a soft, rustling sound."

"Not long after, wave after wave of streaks of light surged in from the distant horizon."

"A large number of people."

"These people seem to have been screened outside the secret realm, and their strength is quite remarkable."

"Upon entering the secret realm, there was an initial intention to test the waters."

"After finding the place teeming with inspiration and lush vegetation, and discovering no deadly danger, their courage gradually grew."

"Piloting flying ships to explore unknown lands."

"Look into the distance and use a far-seeing spell to take in all of this."

"Has the Wu family's defensive position been breached?"

"As you were pondering this, you suddenly saw a large fleet of flying boats enter the secret realm."

"The banners fluttered in the wind, densely packed, like dark clouds pressing down on the border."

"Judging from the flags, the newcomers are all from the Liu family."

"Their momentum was overwhelming, far surpassing that of the cultivators who had previously stormed in."

"The ships are linked end to end, and their formations echo each other."

"The rogue cultivators, who were originally seeking their own opportunities and wary of each other, all felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this formation."

They all stopped what they were doing and looked up.

Before everyone could react, a Foundation Establishment cultivator stepped out of the air from the large ship in the middle.

"The man's wide sleeves fluttered, and his spiritual pressure surged like a tide. His voice was projected through spiritual power, echoing through the mountains and forests."

"Purple Orchid Market has fallen."

"The Thunder Swamp Mountain Secret Realm shall henceforth be under the control of the Azure Jade Willow Clan."

"Within this secret realm, all cultivators of the Wu family must surrender within three breaths. Those who fail to surrender within this time will be killed."

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding area.

"From this moment forward, the secret realm is sealed off by the Liu clan."

"Anyone who dares to trespass into the depths will be killed without exception."

"Upon hearing this, the entire room erupted in uproar."

"Just now, these rogue cultivators, who were relying on their numbers and ulterior motives, are now looking at each other with changed expressions."

Some were shocked, some were angry, and some were skeptical.

"Some people even sailed forward instead of retreating, trying to take advantage of the chaos to get ahead."

"But as soon as the man's flying boat began to move, a cold light suddenly appeared in mid-air."

"So fast it's almost invisible."

"Just a flash."

"A line of crimson blood bloomed on the neck of that rogue cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining."

"The head rolled off the airship and fell into the forest below."

"His flying boat spun in mid-air and then plummeted diagonally."

"The person who made the move didn't even lift an eyelid."

The room, which had been filled with noise, immediately fell silent.

"Those who are still dissatisfied, suppress your restlessness."

"Under the pressure of the Liu Clan's boat formation, the cultivators were driven towards the outer edge of the secret realm."

"You see a commotion in the distant woods."

"Not long after, two or three cultivators slowly emerged from their hiding place."

"Their faces were ashen, and their robes were stained with blood."

"They took off their ritual implements and threw them on the ground, then raised their hands above their heads and knelt down to surrender."

"They cried out in trembling voices, 'We surrender! We are willing to serve under the Liu family, please spare our lives!'"

"At this sight, many independent cultivators secretly breathed a sigh of relief."

"Since Madam Liu has already spoken publicly, she will most likely spare their lives to show both kindness and severity."

"Who would have thought that once the Liu family was laying the foundation, their murderous intent would be fully revealed?"

"Several sword lights suddenly rose from the bow of the ship, streaks of light stretching across the sky."

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

"Those few Wu family cultivators who had just dropped their weapons and knelt down didn't even have time to utter a scream."

"Heads flew off one after another, and blood gushed several feet into the sky."

"The headless corpse collapsed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then remained still."

"His head was seized by spiritual power and hung in front of the Liu family's flying boat, dripping blood."

"The stench of fish was carried by the wind and swept across the fields."

"The rogue cultivators who had previously harbored some hope were now all pale-faced and terrified."

"By now, who wouldn't understand?"

"Liu's so-called surrender offer was nothing more than a pretext."

"What they want is to eliminate the threat completely and establish their authority."

"Use fresh heads to suppress the backs of the living in the secret realm."

Your gaze darkened slightly, and you calmed down.

"The more ruthless the Liu family's actions, the more anxious they are."

"If they truly had the situation firmly in their grasp, why would they need to resort to such bloody methods to intimidate the public?"

"Just then, a rumbling sound came from the depths of the secret realm, like muffled thunder crushing the earth."

"The surrounding branches and leaves rustled from the vibrations of that energy."

"A streak of earthy yellow light, carrying a heavy aura, rushed straight towards the inner perimeter of the secret realm from afar."

Your gaze sharpened.

"The Wu family has established its foundation."

"But what really makes your mind tense is not the yellowish-brown light itself."

"But behind that Foundation Establishment cultivator was actually another person."

"The man's clothes were half-rumpled, and he stood calmly to the side, saying nothing."

Even though you're far away, your brow twitched suddenly.

"Hulu Chen, it really is Hulu Chen."

"I just met him in the ancient battlefield ruins where the True Spirit vanquished the Demon, and now he has been personally brought out by the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Wu family who stayed behind to guard the secret realm."

"On the Liu family's side, several flying boats have already changed direction and formation, clearly indicating that they are going to surround them."

"Meanwhile, the independent cultivators were in an uproar."

"The cultivators looked at Hu Luchen, whose knowledge of the Blood Mi Sect's techniques was widely known in the Purple Orchid Market."

"Now that he has actually appeared from the depths of the secret realm with the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Wu family, the implications of this are crystal clear."
