Chapter 94 - Weird Scabbard

  "Daoyou, please stay!"

  Lu Xuan shouted in surprise to the three monks more than ten feet away.

  After he dealt with the body bag, he kept heading towards the outer edge of the secret realm, away from the core area of ​​the secret realm.

  Along the way, he was lucky enough to pick a few spiritual herbs and kill a blind first-grade monster.

  But he didn't know how to leave the secret realm. He kept looking for a monk who was familiar with the secret realm to lead the way. After nearly half an hour, he found the figures of the three monks. When

  the three monks heard Lu Xuan's call, they turned around, the spiritual power of the magic tools in their hands surged, and their eyes were alert.

  Lu Xuan walked to a distance of six or seven feet away from the three people. There were three monks, two men and one woman. Two of them were at the sixth level of Qi training, and one was at the fifth level of Qi training. They were dusty and exhausted, which showed that they had been in the secret realm for quite a while.

  "Three Daoists, please rest assured. I have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I have something to ask you."

  Lu Xuan stood still, spread his hands, and said kindly.

  "Daoyou, please speak."

  The leader said, holding a black flying sword.

  "I was originally an ordinary spiritual plant master in Linyang Market. I was invited to come here to pick some more difficult spiritual plants."

  "Unexpectedly, I encountered an evil spirit invading on the way. The fellow cultivators were constantly killed by the evil spirits. I was lucky to escape with my life."

  "But this is my first time entering this newly reclaimed secret realm. I don't know anything about it. I don't know how to leave the secret realm after escaping. Can the three Taoist friends do me a favor and take me out of the secret realm by the way? I will have spiritual stones to thank you three."

  The three looked at Lu Xuan. Their spiritual senses peeked out that Lu Xuan's cultivation was at the fourth level of Qi training, and their eyes exchanged obscurely.

  The tacit understanding formed over the years made the three people immediately understand the thoughts of the other two.

  "Daoyou will be blessed after surviving a disaster. The three of us are planning to leave the secret realm. Daoyou can come with us."

  The middle-aged cultivator in the lead said with a warm smile.

  Lu Xuan clasped his fists in gratitude and followed the three people.

  "Daoyou Lu may be injured? Is it serious?"

  Halfway through, after getting to know each other a little, the middle-aged cultivator asked.

  Lu Xuan, who was following the three people, did not look very good at the moment. His face was pale, his steps were weak, and he looked like he had lost a lot of energy.

  "It's okay. Thank you for your concern. In order to get rid of the evil spirit's pursuit, I used a technique that required burning blood essence, so I became like this now, but I will recover soon."

  Lu Xuan explained. After taking a blood and soul pill, his blood essence had almost recovered, but he looked a little weak on the surface.

  "I see, I have a bottle of healing pills here, which can quickly restore blood and qi after taking them. Daoist, would you like to try it?"

  The middle-aged monk took out a jade bottle from his storage bag and was about to throw it to Lu Xuan.

  Lu Xuan quickly refused.

  "Daoist Lu, you are too polite."

  "And I noticed that Daoist You kept a long distance from the three of us along the way. Are you worried that we will do something bad to you?"

  "That's not the case. I just think it's better to keep a safe distance so that both sides can be assured."

  Lu Xuan explained.

  "Fellow Daoist, you are making me feel a little disappointed. Since you have joined us, you should trust us instead of being so suspicious."

  "Besides, there are monsters and evil spirits everywhere in the secret realm. Fellow Daoist is so far away from us. If something unexpected happens, we may not be able to rescue him in time."

  The middle-aged monk in the lead said patiently, and the two people beside him nodded in agreement.

  "Then... I'll come over?"

  Lu Xuan said tentatively, approaching the three people.

  ...

  "I told you to keep a safe distance, but you didn't."

  "Keep a safe distance to protect you, not me!"

  On the ground, three small piles of black ash were still hot, and Lu Xuan threw a demon-repelling talisman in the center of the triangle.   

  The pure spiritual light spread without causing any abnormal movement.

  Lu Xuan was completely relieved and looked at the three storage bags in his hand.

  Not long ago, after luring him closer, the three suddenly attacked him, but they were easily solved by Lu Xuan, who was well prepared, and burned to black ash.

  Naturally, he accepted the storage bags left by the three.

  "Surviving a great disaster does bring good fortune in the future, isn't it coming now?"

  Lu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth and probed his spiritual power into the storage bag.

  "Bah, three poor ghosts!"

  There were not many things left in the three storage bags, a total of more than 100 spiritual stones, and some elixirs and talismans, mainly made of various monster materials, spiritual medicines and spiritual herbs, but the grade was not high.

  Adding them together, the value is far less than the storage bag left by Li Jianfeng.

  ...

  In the core area of ​​the secret realm, there is a huge palace.

  More than a dozen monks frantically attacked the restrictions outside the palace. The restrictions were shaky and seemed to be broken in the next moment.

  Among the dozen people, the weakest one was at the high level of Qi training, and more than half of them were at the perfect Qi training level. Even the head of the Wang family, who was at the early stage of foundation building, was among them.

  The red-clothed girl, the sect disciple that Lu Xuan had seen before, stayed in the corner. The four-eyed red goblin on her shoulder had two pairs of pupils staring at the distance, and there were two bloody tears on her strange face.

  A cultivator in a black robe had several blue-black ghosts crawling around.

  Next to them was a pair of young men and women, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with a small golden sword embroidered on their cuffs. They each controlled a flying sword and attacked the restriction.

  After breaking through the many formations and restrictions, the Wang family, with the help of several other forces, finally succeeded in breaking through the last layer of restrictions.

  Everyone guessed that this secret realm was a cave left behind by a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building or even a cultivator in the Jindan stage, so they were more eager for the things in the palace.

  Under the violent attack, the restriction shattered with a bang, and several rays of light shot out from it.

  Everyone used various means to compete for the treasures in the rays of light.

  Outside the secret realm, Lu Xuan suddenly felt that the Xunlei Sword Pill that was being nourished with spiritual power in his Dantian lost control and trembled slightly. The frequency and amplitude became larger and larger, as if it would jump out of his Dantian at any time.

  "What's going on?"

  Lu Xuan was in doubt. This was the first time he encountered such a situation after obtaining the Xunlei Sword Pill.

  At this moment, a ray of light flew from the sky to Lu Xuan. Before he could react, the ray of light suddenly came and stuck to his chest.

  An ancient scabbard was tightly attached to his chest and kept sliding down.

  "There... No..."

  Just as Lu Xuan was about to grab the scabbard that was getting lower and lower, the scabbard automatically stopped at his Dantian.

  "What is this?"

  Lu Xuan grabbed the scabbard and was about to take a closer look. I don't know what he thought of, his face changed, and the transparent silk threads on the surface of the hidden spirit cloak on his body emerged and swam wildly.

  Lu Xuan's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

  In an instant, a sharp wailing sounded from a distance, and before the sound fell, a cloud of blood floated over.

  The blood cloud was filled with evil spirits, almost becoming real. A violent spirit swept across the place where the scabbard disappeared.

  "Huh?"

  A light exclamation came from the blood cloud, and a blood-red skeleton popped out from it, looking at the ground.

  Pale flames flickered in the skeleton's empty eye sockets, and the flames swayed.

  "I clearly sensed the presence of the scabbard here, but there is no trace left. Where did it go?"

  The blood-red skeleton returned to the blood cloud and floated to the north.
