Chapter 200: Cleansing

Chen Fei was quite bold. If it had been someone else, even if Wang Fang had fled, they wouldn’t dare pursue him. But Chen Fei was fearless. The Fallen God’s Eye? The foul blood light? The Blood Burial Secret Realm? Every one of these terms was familiar to him, but the combination of them was something he had never heard before. It was clear this involved a massive secret.

If he could understand it, perhaps he could gain a deeper understanding of the Xuanhuang Continent. Even if he couldn’t, it didn’t matter. Chen Fei felt that the Void Heaven Cauldron seemed particularly interested in the Fallen God’s Eye. With that in mind, he wouldn’t let Wang Fang escape!

Wang Fang was in a dire state, coughing up blood as he ran. The once majestic and sinister Fallen God’s Eye now appeared as a dull sphere, its power waning.

“Who!” Wang Fang suddenly turned around and saw Chen Fei smiling at him.

“I have to say, you really are bold!” Chen Fei chuckled.

He seemed casual, but inside, he was extremely cautious. Although Wang Fang appeared weak, who knew if he might suddenly retaliate?

“It’s you!” Wang Fang frowned, fully aware of how dire his situation was. Mu Yunso was, after all, the sect leader of the Sacred Gate, and Wang Fang had barely managed to repel him using all his strength. Now, his primary goal was to escape!

He had to use the Blood Sect’s Grand Formation to leave the Tianqing Sacred Land!

“It seems you have something you want to say to me?” Chen Fei moved closer to Wang Fang.

Wang Fang narrowed his eyes. “What do you want to know?”

“Like the Fallen God’s Eye, the foul blood light, the Blood Burial Secret Realm?” Chen Fei spread his hands.

“Didn’t anyone tell you that the more you know, the faster you die?” Wang Fang hissed, subtly retreating to increase the distance between them.

“Don’t say that about yourself!” Chen Fei smirked.

Wang Fang froze for a moment, clearly caught off guard by Chen Fei’s casual remark.

Taking advantage of Wang Fang’s brief moment of distraction, Chen Fei acted swiftly. The Fire character seal condensed into a sea of flames that surrounded Wang Fang. Then, holding his sword, Chen Fei infused it with the Axe character seal, sending a sharp, piercing aura towards Wang Fang.

“Dammit!” Wang Fang cursed inwardly. This guy was truly difficult to deal with! Anyone who could fool Blood River wasn’t ordinary. Moreover, knowing that he had just barely forced Mu Yunso back, Chen Fei still dared to chase after him. Such a person was not to be underestimated!

The main issue was that Chen Fei’s attacks were stronger than Wang Fang had anticipated. Just now, when he had forced Blood River to use power beyond the ninth stage, how could Chen Fei still unleash such powerful attacks?

“Damn!” Wang Fang knew that while Chen Fei claimed to want information, in reality, he just wanted his life!

“It seems there’s no chance left,” Wang Fang’s eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. Blood-red runes appeared on his body, and a blood-colored puppet materialized in front of him, ready to block Chen Fei’s attacks.

“Chen Fei, right? I’ll remember you! You can be my opponent! I’ll be waiting for you!” Wang Fang gritted his teeth and threw a sphere of light into the air.

Chen Fei didn’t pay much attention at first, but when he saw what was inside the light, he was taken aback.

“Heaven-Saving Grass?” Chen Fei exclaimed.

Wang Fang didn’t hesitate. His body was shrouded in blood-red armor as he moved in the opposite direction of the Heaven-Saving Grass, fleeing into the forest.

Chen Fei hesitated.

The Heaven-Saving Grass was no ordinary item. It was a rare treasure that could even improve someone like Miao Yue. It was certainly not something to be ignored.

But Wang Fang’s choice was strange. Did he really think that Chen Fei wouldn’t follow him, then return for the Heaven-Saving Grass?

However, before Chen Fei could act, a series of beast roars rang out. The massive changes in the Xianle Secret Realm had caused the beasts to hide, but the appearance of the Heaven-Saving Grass made them erupt into chaos.

If he pursued Wang Fang now, the Heaven-Saving Grass would likely be devoured by some unknown beast by the time he returned!

“This is your ransom! Next time you meet me, make sure you have more of this kind of good stuff!” Chen Fei called out, watching Wang Fang flee deeper into the forest.

Wang Fang stumbled in the dense woods. “That bastard!”

“Next time? I’ll make sure you can’t escape next time! I’ll make you regret it!” Wang Fang gritted his teeth, though at this moment, he was nearing the Blood Sect’s Grand Formation.

Without the Heaven-Saving Grass, he was disappointed, but he had accomplished the most important thing: escaping.

“Chen Fei!” Wang Fang’s eyes flickered with hatred as he stepped into the formation, activating it and vanishing.

At the same time, the blood-colored mist that had been circulating throughout the Xianle Secret Realm finally dissipated.

Mu Yunso immediately noticed this change and opened the Xianle Secret Realm.

“Disciples of Tianqing Sacred Land, listen up! Accept the summons and leave the Xianle Secret Realm!” Mu Yunso’s cold voice echoed throughout the realm.

At the same time, pillars of guiding light appeared.

Chen Fei looked at the shimmering, milky-white pillars of light and couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful as he glanced back at the scene. In the short time he had been there, he had reaped quite a lot. He had killed three peak-stage Dao Realm beasts, each worth at least 3000 merit points!

If he had been a little later, he could have cleared out this entire area of beasts!

But then again, one couldn’t be too greedy. With such a harvest, he was already satisfied.

Chen Fei nodded contentedly and then stepped into one of the guiding pillars.

At that moment, Mu Yunso had fully regained control of the Xianle Secret Realm. Feeling the current state of the realm, her expression darkened.

Less than one in ten of the registered disciples survived. This was a huge blow to Tianqing Sacred Land!

“Report! The Blood Cloud Sect has suddenly ordered a retreat. Sect Master, should we pursue?”

Mu Yunso suppressed her inner turmoil. “Order the disciples to rest in place. Do not pursue!”

If the Blood Burial Secret Realm had truly been taken over by the Blood Cloud Sect, rashly pursuing them would only increase casualties. Mu Yunso couldn’t act impulsively.

However, this order left the atmosphere in Tianqing Sacred Land oppressive. After all these years, when had they ever suffered such humiliation?

Chen Fei opened his eyes and saw the solemn expressions of the others.

In the crowd, Miao Yue looked at him with concern.

Aside from her, the Ziyang Saintess looked at him with interest, her eyes flickering with a hint of insight.

As for the Lengyue Saintess, she was still alone, but her once cold aura had been replaced by an air of solemnity, as her robes were stained with blood, adding a sense of grimness to her usual aloofness.

As for the other disciples…

Chen Fei couldn’t help but fall silent as he saw the remaining disciples. Except for those near the Ji Tan Swamp and Volcano Gorge, most of the other registered disciples had perished. The loss was truly hard to bear.

“Control all the registered disciples! Investigate them one by one!” Mu Yunso’s cold voice rang out. It wasn’t that she was heartless, but they needed to ensure that no one else harbored threats like Wang Fang.

Tianqing Sacred Land was truly furious this time! The coming changes in the Xuanhuang Continent would surely be monumental!
