#59 · 59 of 646

Chapter 59 flashes back to the scene, showing the extreme pressure brought by Jing Wuyi!

Jing Wuyi’s voice wasn’t loud, but carried by spiritual power, it reached the ears of every Cultivator present.

“What?!”

“Elder Ren was murdered?!”

“This… I remember she was at the First Level of Shattered Core Realm, wasn’t she? Who could kill her?”

Cultivators who knew Elder Ren to some extent were all extremely shocked.

Shattered Core Realm Cultivators possess extremely tenacious vitality; let alone killing them, even defeating them is not something an ordinary person can accomplish.

The Purple Moon Secret Realm has restrictions; only Cultivators below the Divine Transformation Realm can enter.

Therefore, the highest Realm here is the Shattered Core Realm.

Of course, among Shattered Core Realm Cultivators, there are also differences in strength.

Since someone could kill Elder Ren, who was at the First Level of Shattered Core Realm, then the opponent’s strength must at least be on par with hers.

Most likely, it was even higher.

This narrows down the scope considerably.

“Perhaps some people don’t know Elder Ren and U Minghuo, so let me show you their appearances!”

As Jing Wuyi spoke, he looked at Wu Housheng.

Wu Housheng immediately understood, and with a wave of his hand, phantoms of Elder Ren and U Minghuo condensed in mid-air, visible to everyone.

“If anyone present can identify the murderer, I will reward them with half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring!”

Jing Wuyi said indifferently.

This half portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring was not actually from him, but Elder Wu willingly offered his own share.

“Half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring?!”

Many Cultivators’ hearts pounded, secretly swallowing their saliva, and their breathing became rapid.

“It’s not just Shattered Core Realm Cultivators who can kill Shattered Core Realm Cultivators; I believe everyone present has more or less some trump cards!”

“It’s not impossible for some Cultivators of extraordinary origin to endanger a Shattered Core Realm Cultivator using their trump cards.”

“But rest assured, everyone, as long as you can identify the murderer, no matter what background the other party has, you don’t need to be afraid. This true disciple will personally protect you!”

Jing Wuyi’s faint voice contained extreme confidence.

He himself was at the Fourth Level of Shattered Core Realm; if none of the people present were hiding their cultivation, then he was the highest Realm here!

Plus, there were so many Formation Masters from Ku Xuan Sect; among these Formation Masters, there were seven Elder-level ones.

All seven of them were in the Shattered Core Realm!

The remaining seventeen Formation Masters were also in the Core Formation Realm!

Such a powerful force was unique in the entire Secret Realm.

So, there was absolutely no problem with Jing Wuyi saying he would protect someone!

This was also why, even though everyone had seen Jing Wuyi take out thirty-six portions of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring earlier, and the desire to seize the treasure was extremely strong, no one dared to make a move.

“Who on earth killed Elder Ren?”

“If it wasn’t someone whose Realm was higher than hers, then it must be someone with a strong background who killed her using some trump card!”

“How terrifying must a trump card capable of slaying a Shattered Core Realm Cultivator be? A Cultivator possessing such a trump card must be of extraordinary origin!”

“Whether it’s powerful personal strength or a profound background, neither is someone ordinary people can provoke!”

The Cultivators either discussed in hushed tones via spiritual messages or pondered in silence.

Half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring was indeed tempting, but the problem was, they truly didn't know who killed Elder Ren and U Minghuo!

If they fabricated a lie to deceive Jing Wuyi and were discovered, they would surely be finished.

For a time, Cultivators who knew each other whispered, all wanting to find out if anyone knew who the murderer was.

Among the crowd, three people were constantly communicating via spiritual messages.

These three were the three Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators who had witnessed Li Xuanfeng slay the Heavenly Spear Cave Master, and then witnessed him slay Elder Ren and U Minghuo.

“What was bound to happen has come. I didn’t expect Jing Wuyi to use this opportunity to search for the murderer!”

“That’s half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring!”

“What should we do? Should we tell? Jing Wuyi even said he would step forward to protect us!”

“Are you possessed, you bastard? Tell? Do you dare to say such a thing?”

“Half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring is very precious, but you might have the fate to get it, but not the fate to use it!”

“With that Prodigy’s terrifying talent, do you think he possibly has no one backing him? To be such a Prodigy to this extent, there must be an extremely terrifying powerful expert standing behind him!”

“Have you forgotten the fear from before? This matter, you all better keep it to yourselves. No one says a word!”

“Don’t forget how we’ve survived all these years!”

The three people exchanged messages.

It must be said that the allure of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring was great; when Jing Wuyi offered the reward, their hearts couldn't help but pound, and their breathing quickened.

But recalling Li Xuanfeng’s strength and talent, as well as the powerful expert who might exist behind him.

The three could only keep the truth they knew to themselves.

Once they spoke out, even if Jing Wuyi gave them the Bodhi Enlightenment Spring, they would not be blessed enough to enjoy it.

Not to mention that obtaining such a treasure under the noses of so many Cultivators would make them a target.

Even if Jing Wuyi protected them for a while, he couldn't protect them forever.

If the powerful expert behind Li Xuanfeng knew about this, they would certainly not escape retribution!

The reason these three had survived all these years was by trying not to get involved in the affairs between those powerful figures.

When encountering danger, they would immediately back down.

Otherwise, they would have died a thousand times over!

It is said that the life and death of the weak are at the whim of the strong.

Many times, the life and death of the weak are also at their own whim!

On the other side, the Ninth Level Peak of Core Formation Realm old man, who also knew the truth, had a flickering gaze.

Half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring held immense appeal for him.

So great that he was willing to pay a heavy price.

However, when this price could potentially be his life, he couldn’t help but hesitate.

Only by witnessing Li Xuanfeng’s actions firsthand could one know how much of a Prodigy he was!

When Li Xuanfeng slew Elder Ren, who was at the First Level of Shattered Core Realm, he was only at the Fifth Level of Core Formation Realm!

But he had comprehended the legendary Chaotic Sword Intent!

He had forcibly crossed several minor Realms and one major Realm, counter-attacking—no, it should be said, instantly killing a Shattered Core Realm Cultivator!

Such a level of Prodigy, the old man would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes!

Whether it was Jing Wuyi, who had Cultivated to the Fourth Level of Shattered Core Realm in just two hundred and fifty years, or other top Prodigies from other factions, in the old man's eyes, none could compare to Li Xuanfeng!

Such a level of Prodigy, if one were to say he had no one behind him, the old man wouldn't believe it.

Even if he exposed him, he might be able to get half a portion of Bodhi Enlightenment Spring now, but he might not live to enjoy it later!

“Forget it!”

“This old man can’t handle such a fright!”

The old man sighed in his heart.

He deeply buried this matter in his mind.

Jing Wuyi’s gaze swept across the Cultivators.

After waiting for a while, no one revealed the murderer.

Elder Wu’s face was gloomy; he refused to believe that Elder Ren and U Minghuo died without anyone witnessing it.

Did these people truly not know, or did they know but were afraid to speak out?

“If any of you are apprehensive about the murderer, you may tell me through spiritual message.”

Jing Wuyi’s faint voice sounded again.

There was another stir in the crowd, but no one sent him a spiritual message.

“Since none of you know who the murderer is, then I will have to find them myself!”

Jing Wuyi’s expression was indifferent.

Buzz!

The purple moon in the sky emitted waves of fluctuations.

After breaking the Formation, Jing Wuyi could control the purple moon to a greater extent.

Thus, scenes from the Secret Realm appeared before everyone in the form of spiritual power projections.

In the scenes, some people were hidden in the mountains, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Some were flying swiftly, escaping enemy pursuit.

Others were fighting Yao Beasts, competing for Heaven And Earth Treasure.

There were also desolate corpses lying in deep pits.

These scenes startled many Cultivators; they hadn’t expected the purple moon could monitor movements throughout the Secret Realm.

Previously, when they received Jing Wuyi’s Divine Sense thoughts transmitted through the purple moon, not all Cultivators rushed to the center of the Secret Realm.

Some Cultivators knew that their chances of obtaining Bodhi Enlightenment Spring were very low and didn’t want to waste time, preferring to seize the opportunity to find more Heaven And Earth Treasure.

So, they were still active in various parts of the Secret Realm.

Now, what these people were doing could not escape the purple moon’s surveillance.

Among the many scenes.

A handsome man and beautiful woman stood against the wind on top of a giant Black Profound Python’s head, flying towards the center of the Secret Realm.

“He’s here too!”

The three Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators and the Ninth Level Peak of Core Formation Realm old man who saw this scene in the crowd all felt a stir in their hearts.

They knew that the one who slew Elder Ren and U Minghuo was Li Xuanfeng.

A sense of nervousness inexplicably rose in their hearts, wondering what would happen if Li Xuanfeng and Jing Wuyi confronted each other.

In the sky, scenes displayed by spiritual power projections flashed by.

Soon, images of Elder Ren’s headless corpse and U Minghuo’s corpse with wide-open eyes appeared before everyone.

Buzz!

Seeing this, Elder Wu almost lost control of his Qi; the Shattered Core Realm’s pressure surged out, making countless Cultivators silent with fear.

“Perhaps you don’t know, but the purple moon also has a flashback function, which means it has records of events that happened several days ago.”

“Since no one told me who the murderer was just now, I presume you are indeed unaware.”

“However, it doesn’t rule out the possibility of someone covering up, and such people are precisely the ones I despise the most!”

Jing Wuyi’s voice was very soft and light, yet everyone heard the intense killing intent.

The three Spirit Sea Realm Cultivators and the Ninth Level Peak of Core Formation Realm old man were even more startled, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to their heads.

After a moment of hesitation, they ultimately did not speak.

“Heh heh, it seems everyone truly doesn’t know, then, let us begin the flashback!”

Jing Wuyi’s voice was cold, and with a wave of his hand, the scene of Elder Ren and U Minghuo seemed to enter reverse time, and the scenery began to change rapidly.

“What to do, what to do?”

The four people who knew the truth had already started sweating profusely and were extremely panicked.
