Man dies for wealth, birds die for food; at this moment, it is vividly demonstrated.
The Void Secret Realm is simply too attractive.
This is because the Great Immortal Kong Xu is legendary, appearing out of nowhere, invincible among peers, and capable of fighting against the superior, transcending realms.
What is most terrifying is his astonishing cultivation speed, unprecedented and brilliant. In just a few decades, he advanced from the Earth Immortal realm to the Immortal God realm.
Regardless of who it is, they all covet Great Immortal Kong Xu's swordsmanship and cultivation techniques, dreaming of possessing them.
And the Void Secret Realm most likely hides Great Immortal Kong Xu's earth-shattering secrets. Who wouldn't be tempted?
However, all these greedy beings returned without success. After entering the white mist, all sound ceased.
"Something's not right!"
The beings who arrived later finally regained their senses and dared not enter rashly.
"There's definitely a big problem. Haven't you noticed that none of the Void Sword Sect members have come? And they are all watching from a distance with cold eyes."
A Sky Eagle with crimson eyes, its gaze sharp, flapped its wings and hovered in mid-air, staring coldly in Ji Mo's direction.
Its eyes were keen, sensing that Ji Mo and his companions had been observing all along, showing no intention of approaching.
"Damn it, should we go and capture some Void Sword Sect disciples to find out what's going on?"
A man with a face full of coarse flesh spoke in a sinister tone.
His words drew a round of mockery: "If you have the guts, go ahead. The Void Sword Sect has a bluestone containing terrifying sword intent. If you want to die, go and test its power, but don't drag us down."
The man chuckled: "Sword intent will eventually be exhausted. If we all go together, can he kill us all?"
However, no one responded to him. After all, everyone knew that not long ago, the Heavenly Evolution Sect had attacked the Void Sword Sect and was annihilated with just two swords.
Now, no one would be foolish enough to provoke the Void Sword Sect.
Just then, an old man in black robes emerged and said, "I am a formation grandmaster. According to my observations, there are powerful formation fluctuations here, undoubtedly the work of Great Immortal Kong Xu. The entrance to the Void Secret Realm should be under the cold pond, but it might not be time for it to open yet."
After hearing the analysis of the old man in black robes, everyone became less anxious. Some clever individuals immediately began to summon reinforcements, sending messages out.
Those with sects notified their sects, those with families notified their families, and those without notified their friends.
This was a heaven-sent opportunity, and naturally, all forces would be mobilized to contend for it.
"Mr. Ji, these fellows actually covet your Void Secret Realm. If it were me, I wouldn't tolerate it. Hurry up and show your divine might and deal with them. Kill the men, capture the women and sell them, and pen up all those immortal birds and beasts as mounts."
Xia Wan'er, who enjoyed watching the excitement, incited Ji Mo to act.
She was incredibly excited. Legend had it that Great Immortal Kong Xu was this fierce back then, dealing with anyone he disliked.
Xia Wan'er, worthy of someone who could wear red and green together, had an incredibly wild heart. She clamored to assist Ji Mo and help him sell immortal maidens in the future.
Ji Mo's forehead was covered in black lines. He flicked Xia Wan'er's smooth forehead.
"Really, I have always been refined and easy-going, and a pure and kind person. Can I do the work of a human trafficker?"
However, those immortal beasts looked quite delicious. He wondered if their meat was tender.
"Grand Ancestor, Miss Xia's words also make sense. Aren't you physically weak? It's a good opportunity to capture some immortal beasts and get some large kidneys to replenish your body. At the same time, the sect can also obtain some immortal beast materials to supplement daily expenses."
Sima Hongfeng also egged him on, also hoping Ji Mo would make a move.
The Void Sword Sect was simply too poor; they needed to find some resources.
Chen Cheng and Wang Shou Zheng secretly watched the show. If they let a fake person make a move, how could it possibly work?
Ji Mo's face twitched. He wished he could flick Sima Hongfeng's forehead too. How could he talk about being weak so carelessly? Didn't he have any dignity?
Seeing Ji Mo's expression change, Sima Hongfeng quickly changed the subject: "Grand Ancestor, your house was destroyed by Shi Jian. I'll arrange a new residence for you right away."
After saying that, he seized the opportunity to slip away, afraid of being disciplined by Ji Mo.
Chen Cheng and Wang Shou Zheng brought Shi Jian into the house for interrogation.
Xia Wan'er saw that everyone had left and whispered mysteriously, "Mr. Ji, that... have you also practiced the 'Sunflower Manual'? Could it be that back then, you had to separate from my godmother because you castrated yourself to practice this divine art?"
It turned out she had overheard Ji Mo's conversation with Shi Jian earlier and knew about the 'Sunflower Manual'. She believed Ji Mo must have also cultivated this evil technique.
This would explain why Great Immortal Kong Xu's cultivation speed was so terrifying back then. It was precisely because he had no worldly desires or attachments that he could advance by leaps and bounds in his cultivation.
As soon as Xia Wan'er finished speaking, she received another flick on the forehead, which swelled into a large bump, like a horn. The pain made her grit her teeth.
She said aggrievedly, "It hurts so much! Why are you hitting me? Even if it's cut off, I won't discriminate against you. At worst, I'll treat you as my godmother and be like sisters..."
Before she could finish, she was flicked on the forehead again.
Ji Mo's face turned black. He quickened his pace, not wanting to deal with this loose-tongued mad girl.
Chen Cheng and Wang Shou Zheng took Shi Jian to a secret chamber, and Wang Shou Zheng cautiously set up several layers of barriers.
Shi Jian was in a terrible state. An unknown number of his bones were broken by Ji Mo. He was barely breathing and coughed up blood intermittently.
However, he was stubborn and threatened, "I am from the Heavenly Evolution Sect, and my status is noble. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and heal me and send me back to the Heavenly Evolution Sect, otherwise, you will suffer. The Void Sword Sect is destined to be destroyed. Would you be so foolish as to perish with the sect? Now is the time to choose to join my Heavenly Evolution Sect to survive, otherwise, you will only have a dead end."
Shi Jian thought he could intimidate the two, but to his surprise, the expressions on Chen Cheng and Wang Shou Zheng's faces did not change at all.
"Noble status?"
Wang Shou Zheng smiled. His originally righteous features suddenly revealed a hint of sinister cunning: "What is the Heavenly Evolution Sect? It's just a dog used by some big shot to disgust the Void Sword Sect. Do you really think of yourselves as something? Hand over the 'Sunflower Manual' obediently, and perhaps I can spare your life."
At this moment, Wang Shou Zheng seemed like a different person, extremely arrogant, showing no regard for the Heavenly Evolution Sect.
Shi Jian realized it belatedly and exclaimed, "Wang Shou Zheng, so you are also a spy who infiltrated! Who exactly are you?"
The contempt in Wang Shou Zheng's eyes made Shi Jian feel extremely humiliated. He immediately provoked: "Chen Cheng, why aren't you taking action to clean up the house? Wang Shou Zheng's identity has been exposed, and he will surely kill you to silence you."
However, Chen Cheng was calm and unhurried, saying lightly, "Old Wang and I have been friends for so many years, like brothers. How could he possibly kill me?"
Wang Shou Zheng's smile became even more sinister. He chose to expose his identity naturally because he had full confidence in dealing with everything. Moreover, he had already set up barriers to prevent Chen Cheng from escaping.
Who asked this guy to also covet the 'Sunflower Manual'? He absolutely could not be kept.
"Yes, we are brothers."
Wang Shou Zheng grinned and instantly disappeared from his spot, raising his hand to unleash a barrage of palm strikes, each targeting Chen Cheng's vital points.
Facing Wang Shou Zheng's sudden attack, Chen Cheng seemed to have expected it. A cold smile played on his lips as he lightly parried the blows.
"Brahma Zen Palm! Old Wang, you're a bald donkey from the Lesser Thunderclap Temple! Instead of eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures, why are you being a spy?"
From the opponent's palm techniques, Chen Cheng immediately deduced Wang Shou Zheng's origin. His expression showed slight surprise, but he still remained calm.
"Interesting. I underestimated you, Chen Cheng. You've been hiding quite deeply. So you're also a spy."
Wang Shou Zheng's expression turned solemn. Although they had only exchanged a few blows, he had already confirmed that Chen Cheng's true strength was no less than his own.
It was clear that this old schemer was also a spy who had infiltrated.
