Chapter 70 Old man, are you looking for me?

Space rippled, and with a blur before their eyes, Li Xuanfeng and Xu Miaozhen reappeared before the entrance to the Secret Realm.

However, the spatial portal of the entrance had long since vanished.

Figures, one after another, were transmitted out simultaneously with Li Xuanfeng.

Upon seeing Li Xuanfeng, the Cultivators instinctively tensed.

Forcing smiles, they bowed to Li Xuanfeng, performing the customary greeting between Cultivators, then quickly flew away, putting distance between them.

There was no other way; after personally witnessing Li Xuanfeng instantly kill several Shattered Core Realm Elders of the Ku Xuan Sect with a single sword, they were all still shaken.

That was a Prodigy of monstrous proportions who could Breakthrough when he said he would Breakthrough, and shatter a Formation when he said he would shatter a Formation!

A peerless Genius, imbued with Chaotic Sword Intent, possessing Divine Transformation Realm combat power!

Although Li Xuanfeng did not appear to be a bloodthirsty person, his formidable strength was, after all, the root cause of the Cultivators' fear.

As Cultivators were transmitted out one by one, preparing to leave the Purple Moon Mountain Range, they noticed the atmosphere was stagnant, as if something was amiss.

This entire area seemed to be sealed by some kind of Formation!

"It finally happened!"

"The Grand Formation has sealed off this area; are they not planning to let anyone leave?"

"Are they preparing to interrogate the culprit?"

"What should we do? We can't afford to offend either side!"

The Cultivators looked panicked, some even on the verge of tears.

Neither Li Xuanfeng nor the Ku Xuan Sect, nor even the Blood Fiend Gate, were entities they could provoke.

But if they were asked, and did not answer, they might die.

If they answered, they might also die!

Unable to offend either side, Cultivators without strength or background were truly at the mercy of others!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Five astonishing auras swept across the land at this moment, enveloping the entire Purple Moon Mountain Range.

A colossal, awe-inspiring Grand Formation sealed off the heavens and earth.

The five figures shook the heavens and earth, as if propping up the sky itself; even from a great distance, their terrifying might could be perceived!

"Is this the pressure of the Shattered Core Realm!"

"So terrifying!"

"These old monsters are indeed formidable!"

"It seems those people are in for trouble!"

"Although the Ku Xuan Sect doesn't have a good reputation, they shouldn't possibly kill so many people in broad daylight, right?"

"It looks like they suffered heavy losses in the Secret Realm, and now they are deliberately displaying astonishing power to intimidate everyone!"

The Cultivators watching the spectacle from afar exchanged comments.

However, they soon noticed a strange phenomenon: the Cultivators enveloped by the Formation did not seem particularly panicked?

Or rather, at first their expressions were indeed a bit flustered, but after the Ku Xuan Sect's Grand Elder displayed their terrifying might, the panic on their faces actually vanished?

Many even seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief?

What was going on?

The Cultivators observing from a distance were completely baffled.

The Grand Elders of the Ku Xuan Sect were at least at the seventh stage of the Shattered Core Realm; any one of them could easily overpower these Cultivators from the Secret Realm.

Let alone five of them!

Under that earth-shaking might, did they not feel fear?

In fact, it wasn't that these people couldn't feel fear, but rather they had a card up their sleeve, especially after the Grand Elders of the Ku Xuan Sect deliberately displayed the pressure of high-stage Shattered Core Realm.

Many people actually breathed a sigh of relief.

They were well aware of Li Xuanfeng's strength.

Did the Shattered Core Realm really think they could stop him?

Without Divine Transformation Realm level strength, yet putting on such a grand display!

Were they not fully awake?

However, in the next moment, an even more immense pressure enveloped the heavens and earth, causing many Cultivators' hearts to tighten.

At the same time, an aged voice echoed from all directions.

"I am Gong Taishang of the Ku Xuan Sect. This place has been sealed by the Heaven-Sealing, Earth-Locking Grand Formation, so please do not be in a hurry to leave!"

When this voice sounded, many Cultivators' expressions subtly changed.

They had heard of Gong Taishang's name.

This person was incredibly powerful; it was said that he had broken through to the third stage of the Divine Transformation Realm many years ago.

The crucial thing was that this person was not easy to talk to and was ruthless in his actions; if he set his sights on someone, they would most likely be finished.

"Keeping you all here temporarily is simply because there is one matter I do not understand."

"Why have the Soul Tablets of this sect's Elders and several Formation Masters from the Formation Hall, who entered the Secret Realm, all shattered?"

"Can anyone tell this old man who was responsible?"

Gong Taishang's voice betrayed no hint of anger.

But everyone knew that once the culprit was identified, he would undoubtedly strike with thunderous force.

With his Realm of Divine Transformation Realm third stage, no one present could match him.

However, Li Xuanfeng was also very terrifying!

In the eyes of many Cultivators, Li Xuanfeng's potential threat was far greater than Gong Taishang's!

Firstly, his talent was undeniably overwhelming.

Secondly, such a peerless Prodigy must have a profound background, which the Ku Xuan Sect might not be able to afford to provoke!

Finally, although Li Xuanfeng's Realm was Shattered Core Realm, his actual strength had reached the Divine Transformation Realm.

It was just unknown whether he or Gong Taishang, who was at the third stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, was stronger.

Therefore, after Gong Taishang asked this question, no one answered him immediately.

But Gong Taishang was clearly a person with no patience whatsoever.

His figure appeared eerily near an entrance; his gaze swept casually and then settled on a Cultivator at the eighth stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.

"Where are you from, Cultivator?"

Gong Taishang, with his white beard reaching his chest, asked.

"Replying to Senior, this junior is a mere Loose Cultivator…"

The person answered fearfully.

But before he could finish speaking, he was forcibly drawn before Gong Taishang by an irresistible force.

"A Loose Cultivator, ah, that's perfect!"

Gong Taishang formed a claw with his five fingers and placed it on the Cultivator's crown.

Loose Cultivators had no background, so killing them required no concern whatsoever.

"Sen…"

The Cultivator shrieked in terror, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he instantly choked to death.

His Soul was forcibly extracted by Gong Taishang to view his memories.

This was an extremely brutal secret art that allowed one to forcibly view memories through the Soul, but the Cultivator whose memories were viewed would instantly die on the spot.

Of course, the prerequisite for performing it was that the opponent's Soul must be far weaker than one's own Soul, otherwise there would be a risk of backlash.

Moreover, this secret art also had some side effects; it was easy to be influenced by others' Soul memories.

For example, if the owner of that Soul feared something, after extracting and viewing his memories, one might subconsciously feel fear towards the same thing.

Scene after scene flashed through Gong Taishang's mind.

"This…"

The more Gong Taishang watched, the more alarmed he became.

What happened in the Secret Realm was vastly different from what they had speculated!

That was a terrifying Prodigy who had comprehended Chaotic Sword Intent!

One person had killed all the Formation Masters and Elders of the Ku Xuan Sect!

And then he Broke Through his Realm on the spot, shattered the Formation, and instantly killed Jing Wuyi!

"How is this possible?!"

Gong Taishang gasped.

He had never seen such a monstrous Prodigy in his life!

Let alone seen, he had never even heard of such a thing!

If he hadn't used the secret art to view the Soul memories, he would never have believed such a thing could happen.

"Where is he?"

Gong Taishang's Divine Sense, like a vast ocean, rapidly spread out, seeking to find Li Xuanfeng.

But in the next moment, he heard a voice that sent shivers down his spine.

"Old man, are you looking for me?"

Li Xuanfeng's figure stepped through the air.

"It's you!"

Gong Taishang looked in the direction of the voice, his expression grim.

If he hadn't viewed the Soul memories, upon sensing Li Xuanfeng's Shattered Core Realm fourth stage aura, he would have decisively attacked.

But at this moment, he hesitated.

Or rather, he felt uncertain!

Each stage of the Shattered Core Realm was a world apart, and the difference between each stage in the Divine Transformation Realm would only be greater and more obvious.

From the performance in the Soul memories, Li Xuanfeng's strength indeed reached the Divine Transformation Realm level.

However, he was only close to the second stage of the Divine Transformation Realm, still a considerable distance from the third stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Could he take him down?

Gong Taishang wasn't very confident, especially since in the Soul memories he viewed, Li Xuanfeng hadn't used a Spiritual Artifact when breaking the Formation, only condensed a spiritual energy longsword.

Furthermore, the Soul memories of that person just now had also had a certain influence on him, causing Gong Taishang to subconsciously feel a trace of fear towards Li Xuanfeng!
