The afternoon of the fifth day.

Outside the forbidden area, the Core Formation cultivators from the seven sects, who had waited for five days, once again joined forces to open the entrance to the forbidden area.

This time, the opened passage did not disappear as quickly as before. The seven sects' Core Formation cultivators seemed completely unsurprised, all standing calmly not far from the entrance.

However, there were two exceptions: Li Huayuan and the old Taoist priest.

Both of them were staring intently at the entrance to the passage, clearly worried about losing their bet. Meanwhile, the Old Monster Qiong of the Hidden Moon Sect lay lazily on the boulder, seemingly unconcerned about losing the bet.

This confident and nonchalant attitude made Li Huayuan and the old Taoist priest feel uneasy, and a sense of foreboding appeared on their faces. After waiting anxiously for nearly half an hour, they finally realized what was going on.

Finally, a middle-aged Taoist priest, his clothes torn and stained with blood, calmly emerged from the forbidden passage. He bowed to the old Taoist priest guarding the entrance.

Upon seeing that the first person to emerge was one of their own, the old Taoist's anxious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a smug glance at Li Huayuan. This made Li Huayuan roll his eyes, inwardly cursing the old Taoist for his incredible luck.

It seemed that the middle Taoist priest had started. After he sat down to meditate for a while, several more cultivators at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining filed out. Each of them looked more or less tired. Han Li and Chen Qiaotian were among them.

After the disciples at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining walked out, the passage became quiet again. This continued for about the time it takes to eat a meal. Then, a large number of disciples came out in pairs or groups of three. Among them, Han Yunzhi, one of the three disciples from Spirit Beast Mountain, was following behind a big sister dressed in animal clothing with a well-behaved expression.

More than twenty people have left this wave, accounting for nearly 20% of the total population, but there are no disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect among them.

This unusual scene puzzled the other six sects, especially Li Huayuan and the old Taoist priest. They glanced at Qiong Laoguai and Ni Chang Xianzi but found nothing amiss on their faces. This left them wondering what the Hidden Moon Sect was up to.

Just then, the entrance to the passage suddenly trembled slightly, and a young man dressed in Huangfeng Valley attire with a pale face emerged from it. As soon as he appeared, the expressions of the eight Core Formation cultivators present changed drastically.

"A Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"How is that possible!"

Amidst the gasps of surprise, the old monster Qiong, standing atop the boulder, swayed slightly and flashed in front of the young man who had just emerged, grabbing his arm to examine him.

A moment later, he looked at the young man with disbelief and asked strangely, "You actually broke through from within the forbidden area? How did you do that, kid?"

Upon hearing this, the other Core Formation cultivators were shocked and swarmed around the young man, groping him all over.

"His meridians are injured, and his spiritual energy is unstable; he really just broke through!"

"A pseudo-spiritual root, yet he has such good luck? Kid, did you eat something in the forbidden area?"

The six disciples at the Core Formation stage surrounded the young man, bombarding him with questions. Li Huayuan, who was kept outside, looked displeased: "You've gone too far! This is a disciple of my Yellow Maple Valley. Shouldn't I be the one asking the questions?"

As Li Huayuan spoke, he pushed the old Taoist priest aside and moved closer to the young man.

"Greetings, Grandmaster!"

Seeing that Li Huayuan had finally come over, Han Chao quickly bowed to him.

That's right, the pale-faced young man was Han Chao.

After he and Nangong Wan made a passage out of the underground cave, he rushed to the teleportation point without stopping. The spiritual herbs he encountered along the way could not stop Han Chao.

The reason for this was to emerge before Nangong Wan, and with ample time. To achieve this, Han Chao expended his own energy on the journey to increase his speed and make himself appear unstable in his cultivation level. And the result was as he expected: the eight Core Formation experts took turns examining him, and the conclusion was that he had only recently broken through to the next level.

"What's your name again?"

"Respectfully submitted to Grandmaster Qi, your disciple Han Chao!"

"Han Chao?"

Li Huayuan sized up Han Chao, wanting to say something telepathically, but with the other Core Formation cultivators watching him intently, he could only mutter a curse inwardly before speaking with a serious expression:

"Han Chao, tell me the truth about how you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, what spiritual herbs you ate, and what you look like. Don't worry, I'm here. As long as you can describe it accurately, I, your ancestor, will protect you!"

"Yeah, kid, tell me the truth!"

The other Core Formation cultivators looked impatient, as if they would tear Han Chao apart if he didn't tell the truth.

Upon seeing this, Han Chao trembled slightly at just the right moment and stammered, "Reporting to the Ancestor, the reason I broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage was because I encountered a black dragon in the central area."

"A black dragon?"

"A level two monster?"

Li Huayuan and Ling Shoushan both exclaimed in surprise upon reaching the Core Formation stage.

"Grandmaster?"

Han Chao looked bewildered after being interrupted.

Old Monster Qiong glared at the two Core Formation cultivators with a warning look.

"Go on!"

Han Chao nodded respectfully and continued, "This black dragon is extremely ferocious, having killed several disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect."

"What?" The fairy in the rainbow dress exclaimed in surprise as soon as she finished speaking.

"this..."

Han Chao, surrounded by those at the Core Formation stage, looked troubled.

Old Monster Qiong tugged at the dough, raised his hand, and a halo of light enveloped Han Chao. He transmitted his voice, "Now no one can disturb you. Speak carefully, and don't miss anything!"

"yes!"

Han Chao's expression turned serious, and he quickly said, "The leader of the Hidden Moon Sect, seeing that they could not defeat them, immediately ordered a retreat."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ni Chang visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second she raised it again.

"But when someone ran away, they threw out a Small Five Elements Sumeru Restriction Technique, trapping the disciple and the person covering the retreat together. If this woman dies, the disciple is definitely no match for the Ink Dragon."

So they stopped hiding and quickly stepped forward to join forces with him to resist. After a fierce battle, the black dragon died, and the disciple and his junior sister dissected the body. But who knew that the black dragon actually possessed a lustful sac...

As Han Chaoyue, enveloped in the circle, spoke with increasing enthusiasm, the eight Core Formation cultivators listening outside grew increasingly strange-looking, especially Fairy Ni Chang from the Hidden Moon Sect, whose bright and pretty face was showing signs of turning pale.

"After being enveloped in pink aura, the disciple lost consciousness for a moment. When he awoke, he had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage..."

"That's enough, stop talking!"

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes couldn't stand it any longer. Her face turned ashen as she shattered the protective barrier, her jade hand flashing with light as she extended it, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Han Chao.

"Bang!"

A dirty hand blocked the fairy in her rainbow dress.

"Uncle Qiong, do you know..."

Seeing that her fatal blow was blocked by the Old Monster Qiong, Fairy Ni Chang was furious.

Others might not know who Han Chao slept with, but she knew as soon as she heard who the leader was. Their own Core Formation stage female cultivator had been slept with by a Qi Refining stage cultivator. If this got out, where would the reputation of the Hidden Moon Sect be?
