God-Slaying Blade

"Hehe, who would have thought that Qin Shaxing, who kills without hesitation, still cares about the safety of the people of the Nine Provinces!" Liu Qingxue chuckled teasingly, but quickly replied seriously, "Actually, reinforcing the seal isn't difficult. As long as you cultivate to the Star Soul Realm, you can at least extend the sealing power of these Demon-Suppressing Seals for about a hundred years!"

Qin Jue's lips twitched: "Only a hundred years? What good is that?"

Liu Qingxue smiled and said, "If you want it to last longer, you'll need to have a stronger cultivation level. No rush, you still have three hundred years to work hard."

Qin Jue didn't speak again, but just looked up at the black vortex above his head.

"Um?"

His eyes suddenly narrowed.

In the far distance, he seemed to see more than a dozen black dots rushing toward the vortex above his head!

"Could it be that we can leave already? But why don't I feel any pulling sensation at all?" Qin Jue frowned.

"Those are powerful demons from the depths of the Hidden Ruins Realm, trying to break through the seal and leave this place!" Liu Qingxue said.

There seemed to be a buzzing sound in the void.

Then Qin Jue saw the dozen or so dark figures fall downwards.

"Were they blasted back by the power of the Demon-Suppressing Seal? These demons are probably much stronger than the Sword Demon! Luckily, I didn't go any deeper," Qin Jue said in a low voice.

Liu Qingxue laughed, "Even demons at the Spirit Core Realm are currently suppressed by the Demon Suppression Seal and can only remain silent, not daring to move. Those demons who dare to rush forward all possess at least the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Qin Jue's pupils contracted!

There are actually demons at the Nascent Soul stage in this Hidden Ruins Realm!

If they alerted one of them and they came to their side, wouldn't all of them be doomed?

Seemingly anticipating Qin Jue's shock, Liu Qingxue smiled and said, "Don't worry, although demons don't have much intelligence, under normal circumstances their emotions are more stable than those of wild beasts in the mountains. If no one disturbs them, they won't run around randomly. They mostly stay in familiar places, quietly absorbing demonic energy. The current agitation is only because the vortex is also above them; they are just startled and trying to break the vortex that has disturbed their peace."

But if they actually went out, the situation would be different, because outside there wouldn't be such a vast amount of demonic energy for them to absorb stably. Without demonic energy, they would roam freely, slaughtering living beings and turning the outside world into a hellish demonic wasteland for them to inhabit.

Qin Jue let out a low sigh: "Fortunately, they're not going out yet; otherwise, in just a few days, the entire Nine Provinces would probably turn into a hellish place!"

"Hehe, that's for sure. If Xiao Jue really wants to protect the Nine Provinces, he'll have to work very hard! Three hundred years is just a rough estimate from your older sister. If something unexpected happens during the process, it's not impossible for the Demon-Suppressing Seal to collapse prematurely," Liu Qingxue said with a smile.

At this moment, a series of suction forces finally erupted from the vortex above the void.

shhhhh--

Some people with lower cultivation levels were already being pulled into the sky by this suction force, unable to control their bodies.

Before entering the Hidden Ruins Realm, Ye Juanyun told them not to resist the power within the Hidden Ruins Realm when they came out.

So Qin Jue also began to relax his body, letting the suction force pull him toward the vortex in the void above.

Ten zhang!

A hundred feet!

A thousand feet!

People from different places, after taking off, all flew towards the center of a vortex.

"Brother Qin! You're still alive! Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a joyful voice came from afar.

Qin Jue turned his head and saw Zhou Hao, his face streaked with tears but filled with ecstatic joy, slowly approaching him as he ascended into the air.

Beside Zhou Hao were Nangong Qianxun, who was equally surprised, as well as Mo Qingyu, Cai Luoyi, and dozens of others.

After being rescued that day, Mo Qingyu and the others left the Black Demon Land and retreated to the rear, and tried their best to find cultivators from other martial dynasties.

But after three days, they only found a few dozen people.

"You're all still alive! That's great! This Hidden Ruins Realm is so dangerous. I almost died in there," Qin Jue said, still shaken.

Zhou Hao was taken aback: "What exactly happened to you that made you so scared?"

"It's a long story. We're almost at the top. Let's talk about it when we get back to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion!" Qin Jue said bitterly.

"Okay." Zhou Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.

Qin Jue said he would talk about it again when he returned to the Imperial Tutor's residence, rather than saying he would go out to discuss it. This shows that Qin Jue did not want to recount his experiences in front of too many people.

Mo Qingyu's gaze swept across the void.

There were three thousand people when they came in.

But now, fewer than four hundred people have taken to the air!

This loss is even more devastating than the previous ones!

However, to Mo Qingyu's surprise, both the Spirit Refining Sect and the White Profound Sect only had a handful of people!

In contrast, the Qingxiao Sect had more than eighty people!

The remaining nearly three hundred people were all cultivators from the Nine Provinces Martial Dynasty!

"Senior brother, how come there are only a few people left in the Spirit Refining Sect and the White Profound Sect?" Cai Luoyi's expression changed, and she asked in a low voice.

Mo Qingyu said in a low voice, "I don't know either. Although I feel great right now, I'm afraid things will be terrible once we get out! Those two Spirit Core Realm elders from the Spirit Refining Sect and the White Profound Sect will definitely not accept this outcome! I wonder what kind of trouble they'll cause!"

"Hmph, no matter how much trouble they cause, do you think they can blame us?" Cai Luoyi sneered.

Mo Qingyu sighed softly, "Even if they can't blame us, once they're in a bad mood, do you think the Martial Emperor and my master will have a good time? In the end, their losses will have to be made up by skinning my Martial Dynasty alive! Otherwise, how will they explain themselves to their sects when they go back!"

Cai Luoyi gritted her teeth, unwilling yet helpless!

hum!

hum!

One by one, figures approached the vortex and were sucked in.

When it reappeared, it had already been thrown into the sky above the Devouring Lake.

buzzing-

Streams of spiritual energy flew through the air, enveloping the people who had been thrown out and helping them stabilize their bodies.

"Thank you, Imperial Tutor!"

"Thank you, General Baili!"

One by one, the martial artists from Kyushu who had been helped to stabilize themselves by spiritual power bowed to Ye Juanyun and Baili Xiong to express their gratitude.

Ye Juanyun smiled and said, "It is the pride of our Wu Dynasty that you have all returned unharmed, so there is no need to be so polite."

"Master."

"Master!"

Mo Qingyu and Cai Luoyi, along with some of their disciples who had miraculously survived, rushed to Ye Juanyun's side.

Qin Jue and Zhou Hao remained silent, and together with Mo Qingyu, they rushed to Ye Juanyun's side.

Ye Juanyun's gaze darkened slightly.

Of the hundred people who went into the Imperial Tutor's residence, only eighteen returned alive!

Baili Xiong's gaze was even more gloomy.

Of the hundred-person team assembled by the royal family, only seven returned alive!

None of the royal family members, including Wu Xiaoyao, survived!

"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened in the Hidden Ruins Realm?! Why are only the three of you the ones who came out?!"

Suddenly, a roar shook the sky!

Everyone turned to look, and there was Elder Mo from the Spirit Refining Sect, his face as black as charcoal, angrily rebuking the three Spirit Refining Sect disciples who had come out!

Not only did the Spirit Refining Sect send out only three people, but they were also only three disciples!

Of the ten Spirit River Realm cultivators, not one survived!

At this moment, on the Swallowing Lake, there were only rolling waves, and the whirlpool at the exit was gone!

This means that no one will ever come out of the Hidden Ruins Realm again!
