Chapter 113: One Hand Suppresses All

The Hidden Dragon Secret Realm opened, and Pang Bo and the others were able to enter it, gaining some opportunities.

However, they did not forget Lu Qingshan waiting outside; after all, if not for Lu Qingshan, they would definitely not have dared to display such astonishing strength in the Hidden Dragon List competition.

Inside the chat group.

【Xiao Yan: Group Leader, there are many special opportunities within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm; I wonder if you would like to come down and see?】

【Pang Bo: Yes, Group Leader! I just obtained a very good fist technique; although it is not as profound as the Ancient Scripture of the Demon Emperor, it still looks quite good. Do you want to come down and look around? Perhaps you can obtain even better opportunities!】

【Yue Buqun: I also obtained a rather good sword technique; it looks far more exquisite than my Huashan Sword Technique!】

【Cao Cao: Envy. JPG!】

【Lu Qingshan: It is fine; everything within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm has already been taken in by my eyes. You only need to seek the opportunities most suitable for yourselves!】

With Lu Qingshan's current strength, even the rules of the Hidden Dragon Ancient City could be altered, let alone the opportunities within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm.

Those special cultivation places capable of helping people quickly comprehend various concepts naturally had no effect at all on the chat group members who could not cultivate after crossing realms.

As for the cultivation methods obtained by the geniuses of the Hidden Dragon List, they were undoubtedly very shallow to Lu Qingshan.

"However, those few Heaven-grade cultivation methods and profound martial arts are passable!"

Lu Qingshan sensed the several opportunity locations within the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm and thought silently in his heart: "Although these cultivation methods and martial arts have no effect on me, they do possess some novelty. When I create secret techniques next, I can indeed borrow a few ideas from them!"

Time continued to pass; in the blink of an eye, another seven days had gone by.

Only to see a mighty dragon roar sound rise from the abyss surrounding the martial arts platform; subsequently, a huge dragon qi coiled twice, then quickly opened its great mouth again, forming a vortex.

The geniuses on the Hidden Dragon List were then transported out of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm.

At this time, most of the onlookers had not yet left; after all, the opening of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm was such a major event that it might be difficult to encounter once in several hundred years. Naturally, they hoped to know what opportunities the younger generation would obtain within the Secret Realm.

At this moment, the aura on every member of the younger generation had grown much stronger, obviously having gained many benefits from the Secret Realm.

Luo Xinglie, the chief referee of this Hidden Dragon List competition, saw everyone appear one by one, let out a long sigh of relief, and then loudly announced: "This Hidden Dragon List competition has now concluded in its entirety. Now, the rankings will be announced!"

These referees had not rested at all; immediately after the geniuses entered the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, they quickly determined the rankings.

The top ten are, in order: Ye Chen, Xiao Yan, Pang Bo, Han Li, Meng Huan, Sikong Sheng, Yan Chihuo, Murong Qingcheng, Tuoba Ku, and Lin Yun!

Li Daoxuan is eleventh, Bing Ling twelfth, Mo Yan thirteenth... As for Yue Buqun, he is ranked forty-third!

After the chief referee finished announcing the rankings, this Hidden Dragon List competition finally concluded successfully.

On the other side, several sects of the Tianfeng Kingdom quickly ran to the front of the Liuyun Sect to offer congratulations, some sincerely, others insincerely...

Some sects had even begun preparing to scheme against the Liuyun Sect and Ye Chen's group, such as the Ziyang Sect, which harbored a deep hatred for the Liuyun Sect!

Of course, Ye Chen and the others naturally paid no attention to these matters, leaving them all to Luo Xinglie, the sect master of the Liuyun Sect, to handle.

A short while later, Long Biyun, the sect master of the Nanluo Sect, walked over.

"Sect Master Luo, and all young friends!"

Long Biyun brought the people of the Nanluo Sect forward and then said with a smile: "I have come this time specifically to congratulate you all!"

"Thank you, Sect Master Long!"

The people of the Liuyun Sect, unaware of Long Biyun's powerful background, politely replied one after another.

However, the chat group members, who knew that Long Biyun was actually a great expert of the Spirit Sea Realm, were already guessing the other party's intentions.

【Pang Bo: Brothers, do you think Long Biyun came over to congratulate us because he also wants to obtain the Ancient Inheritance Location we mentioned?】

【Xiao Yan: That shouldn't be the case! I remember that in the original plot, whenever Brother Ye encountered danger several times, it was Long Biyun who stepped in to help. I imagine this time will be no exception!】

【Ye Chen: I think so too!】

【Yue Buqun: Actually, I feel that regardless of Long Biyun's true intentions, we only need to remain inactive. After all, with the Group Leader present, surely nothing unexpected will happen!】

【Pang Bo: Old Yue speaks the absolute truth!】

After finishing the conversation with Long Biyun, the Liuyun Sect members met up with the Star Extreme Realm expert Tianlei Sanren, who had come to escort them, outside the Hidden Dragon Ancient City, and soon boarded a flying demon beast to begin their journey back to the sect.

Because of Ye Chen and the others, the chat group members were able to ride a flying demon beast separately, while the Liuyun Sect members rode another flying demon beast.

Of course, to help Ye Chen, Pang Bo and the others also invited Xu Jing, who had originally planned to ride with the Liuyun Sect members, onto the flying demon beast they were riding.

After the flying demon beast left the Hidden Dragon Ancient City, it quickly flew toward the direction of the Tianfeng Kingdom.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed. Pang Bo, who had encountered no ambushes along the way, couldn't help but complain: "Why is no one ambushing us? Could it be that those people have seen through our fishing plan? That shouldn't be the case!"

"Don't rush!"

Lu Qingshan, who had already sensed the situation around them, smiled and looked up at the sky: "Isn't that them arriving?"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Pang Bo and the others quickly looked up at the sky above.

Even the always-lazy Tianmeng Ice Silkworm did so; although it did not care about the ambush, it still loved to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Ye Chen also quickly called out to stop the Liuyun Sect members ahead.

"Ye Chen, what's wrong?"

Luo Xinglie, the sect master on the other flying demon beast, quickly asked.

"Sect Master, someone is ambushing us!"

After responding, Ye Chen quickly looked up at the sky above.

Hearing these words, the Liuyun Sect members immediately became vigilant, and Luo Xinglie, seeming to think of something, directly said: "Could it be the Ziyang Sect?"

"Hahaha! Truly worthy of being the supreme genius ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List; you discovered us so quickly!"

As soon as the words fell, the first layer of the sky, stunning the world, was instantly torn apart. In an instant, ten thousand bolts of Lei Guang flashed, and more than ten figures appeared before Lu Qingshan and his group; they were all Star Extreme Realm experts.

Seeing more than ten Star Extreme Realm experts appear one after another, Luo Xinglie, who had already been confident in his heart due to the actions of Pang Bo and the others, showed no panic on his face. Instead, he directly asked loudly: "Who are you all, and why do you block the path of our Liuyun Sect?"

"Hahaha!"

The leading Star Extreme Realm expert immediately said: "You need not worry about who we are. We have come seeking only to hope that you young friends will share the opportunities of the Ancient Inheritance Location with us!"

"As long as you are willing to hand over the opportunities you obtained from the Ancient Inheritance Location and tell us the location of that Ancient Inheritance Location, we can let you leave safely!"

"Otherwise, none of you will leave this place alive!"

As soon as the words fell, more than ten Star Peak Realm experts all radiated extremely terrifying auras.

"Ye Chen, what should we do?" Luo Xinglie quickly looked toward Lu Qingshan and his group.

"Sect Master, do not worry!"

Ye Chen first steadied Luo Xinglie, then quickly asked within the chat group.

【Ye Chen: Group Owner, brothers all, what now?】

【Pang Bo: Oh my god, is this a joke? The strongest aura among these few is only equivalent to that referee; I spent so much effort fishing, and the harvest is only this little?】

Hearing these words, Lu Qingshan could not help but smile.

In fact, those people from the Liupin Sect had long been following them not far behind; they thought no one could detect them, but all of this had long fallen completely within Lu Qingshan's eyes.

Even the Nangluo Sect Sect Master Long Biyun, who was following Sikong Ba and others, and the Dragon King and Xuan Hou following behind Long Biyun, all failed to escape his gaze.

As for these people before our eyes, they are merely the vanguard sent out by them to test Lu Qingshan and his group!

He simply thought Pang Bo's fishing plan was quite interesting at the start, so he did not expose it.

【Lu Qingshan: Hahaha, rest assured, your fishing plan was still very successful; those people from the Liupin Sect are still following behind, and these few Star Peak Realm experts are merely the vanguard they sent out!】

【Han Li: So that is how it is!】

【Pang Bo: Hahaha, I told you so; indeed there is still a big fish! Group Owner, what should we do now?】

【Lu Qingshan: Rest assured, leave the following matters to me!】

【Pang Bo: Finally able to see the Group Owner unleash his divine might, looking forward to it. JPG!】

【Han Li: Finally able to see the Group Owner unleash his divine might, looking forward to it. JPG!】

【Xiao Yan: Finally able to see the Group Owner unleash his divine might, looking forward to it. JPG!】

Looking at the chat records within the group, Lu Qingshan spoke calmly: "It is time to end this!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qingshan immediately rose slowly, then simply hovered in mid-air.

Afterwards, a terrifying aura sweeping across the eight wastelands instantly released from his body, rapidly spreading toward all four directions.

"Not good, it is a Spirit Sea Realm grandmaster!"

After sensing the terrifying aura radiating from Lu Qingshan, the bodies of the seven Star Peak Realm experts who were originally preparing to ambush the Liuyun Sect people instantly froze in place; they could not even move.

"Not good, it is a Life and Death Realm King!"

Not far away, after sensing the terrifying aura radiating from Lu Qingshan, Sikong Ba and the others from the Liupin Sect were also startled in their hearts, then very quickly secretly rejoiced.

"I did not expect that there really is a Life and Death Realm King behind these few!"

The Tianyun Sect Sect Master transmitted his voice with a face full of relief: "Fortunately we did not strike directly, but first sent out several Star Peak Realm experts to scout ahead!"

"Yes, I did not expect we could actually encounter a Life and Death Realm King!"

The Fire Spirit Hall Hall Master also transmitted his voice: "It is just that I have never heard anyone mention this Life and Death Realm King, nor do I know where he comes from?"

"Everyone, let us leave here first!" The Wuqing Sect Sect Master quickly transmitted his voice: "Otherwise, if that Life and Death Realm King becomes enraged, we will have to bear his wrath!"

"Exactly! Leave quickly!"

But just as they intended to leave, their bodies likewise froze, unable to move a single inch.

And just at this moment, Lu Qingshan's voice also entered the minds of their group: "Since you have already come, why rush to leave?"

And not far behind Sikong Ba and others, the Nangluo Sect Sect Master Long Biyun had been secretly following Sikong Ba and others.

Originally, she intended to intervene and help after Ye Chen and others encountered fatal danger, thereby pulling them onto the Dragon Spirit Heavenly Palace's chariot.

But she did not expect that Lu Qingshan, whom she originally thought was at most a Star Peak Realm martial artist, would be so terrifying; the overwhelming aura he released was even stronger than her teacher, the Dragon King!

"How is this possible?"

Long Biyun looked toward the direction where Ye Chen and others were with disbelief: "How could there be such a terrifying Life and Death Realm King behind Ye Chen and them?"

And just at this moment, Lu Qingshan's voice also quickly rang in Long Biyun's mind: "Young friend, since you have already come, come over and converse!"

On the other side, the two Life and Death Realm Kings, the Dragon King and Xuan Hou, were originally worried that Long Biyun alone could not stop the greedy Sikong Ba and others, and they also wanted to see how Xiao Yan and others would behave after encountering danger, so they followed far behind Lu Qingshan and his group.

And after Lu Qingshan released his own aura, the two of them were both slightly stunned.

"This aura is probably a notch stronger than the Void Emperor, right?"

After sensing the terrifying aura radiating from Lu Qingshan, Xuan Hou could not help but transmit her voice in surprise: "When did such a powerful expert appear on our True Spirit Continent? Dragon King, you have seen much and know much; do you know this King's identity?"

Hearing these words, the Dragon King quickly shook his head and transmitted his voice: "I am also unclear about this person's identity; perhaps he is a Life and Death Realm King who is single-mindedly cultivating in seclusion!"

"Then should we reveal ourselves to meet him?" Xuan Hou asked again via transmission.

"This..."

The Dragon King hesitated for a moment, then transmitted his voice: "This person's strength is extremely great, but right now we do not know if he is enemy or friend; once a conflict occurs with him, the two of us are afraid we will not be his match!"

And just at this moment, Lu Qingshan's voice also rang in the minds of the two of them: "Two young friends, rest assured; I have no ill intent. Since you have already come, it is better to reveal yourselves and converse!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's voice, the Dragon King and Xuan Hou both showed expressions of horror on their faces.

You must know, the two of them were currently hidden within the void; according to reason, except if they revealed themselves actively, they should be very difficult for others to detect.

Moreover, the two of them had previously communicated via transmission; according to reason, the other party should absolutely not have known.

But now...

Thinking of this, the Dragon King and Xuan Hou immediately flew toward the direction where Lu Qingshan and his group were located.

On the other side, after sensing the terrifying aura radiating from Lu Qingshan, the Liuyun Sect people were all stunned.

Although Lu Qingshan deliberately kept his aura away from them, they still could not help but tremble.

Especially Tianlei Sanren, who had already stepped into the Star Pole realm—his strength was the greatest, so naturally he could sense the terrifying aspect of Lu Qingshan even more clearly!

When he had been wandering the True Spirit Continent, he had seen several Spirit Sea realm mighty figures, but the aura on those Spirit Sea realm mighty figures was far inferior to Lu Qingshan's at this moment.

At this moment, with a single thought, Lu Qingshan quickly teleported Sikong Ba and his group right in front of him.

And those several Star Pole realm experts who had been preparing to intercept and kill Lu Qingshan's group became incomparably excited upon seeing Sikong Ba and the others appear, thinking Sikong Ba's group had come to rescue them.

But what they did not know was that Sikong Ba and his group's situation was hardly any better than theirs!

Just then, the Sect Master of the Floating Mountain Sect quickly asked with utmost respect, "Senior, may I ask why you have brought us here?"

Looking at the other's utterly innocent expression, Lu Qingshan could not help but laugh.

At this moment, however, Pang Bo spoke up: "Old thing, you sent people to intercept and kill us, and yet you still have the nerve to look so innocent—it's a real shame you don't go into acting!"

Hearing this, Sikong Ba immediately said, "Senior, this is all a misunderstanding! Although these people are from our sects, everything they did was on their own initiative and has nothing to do with us!"

"Yes, Senior!" the other several Liupin Sect sect masters all chimed in.

And those dozen-plus Star Pole realm experts, upon hearing this, could not help but be slightly stunned, but in the end they did not offer any defense.

After all, anyone who could be sent out to do such a thing was naturally a die-hard loyalist of their respective sects, and even now, stabbed in the back by their own sect masters, they remained so!

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan merely waved his hand casually, and a scene appeared in midair of Sikong Ba and the others ordering those dozen-plus Star Pole realm experts to come intercept and kill their group.

Seeing this, Sikong Ba no longer denied it, but continued, "Senior, my sect has old ties with Lei Jingwang. I beg Senior, for the sake of Lei Jingwang, to let this matter pass!"

Hearing this, the other sect masters also one after another brought out the backers behind their sects.

Although not as powerful as Lei Jingwang, they were all nonetheless Life-and-Death realm kings.

At this moment, three streaks of flowing light flew over from not far away—it was Long Biyun, along with the Dragon King and the Mystic Empress!

The Dragon King and the Mystic Empress were both renowned Life-and-Death realm kings on the True Spirit Continent, and Sikong Ba and the others had naturally seen their portraits before.

Seeing the two of them appear in person now, they could not help but feel a jolt of alarm in their hearts.

After all, the strength of both the Dragon King and the Mystic Empress was on par with Lei Jingwang's!

"Hmph!"

Lu Qingshan gave a cold snort, and an invisible force instantly seeped into the bodies of Sikong Ba and the six Spirit Sea realm mighty figures, instantly shattering all of their spirit seas and causing the six men's auras to drop back down to the Star Pole realm level.

"This is merely a small punishment as a grave warning!"

Lu Qingshan said calmly, "You wanted to seize the cultivation method in my hands, so I give you ten days each to deliver three top-grade Earth-rank martial arts to the Flowing Cloud Sect!"

"Of course, you may also call the backers behind you to come to the Flowing Cloud Sect together, but when that time comes, it will no longer be such a minor punishment!"

Feeling their spirit seas shattered, Sikong Ba and the others were both shocked and furious in their hearts, and upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, they felt even more outraged and aggrieved.

Only now Lu Qingshan had already begun chatting with the Dragon King and the Mystic Empress, so naturally he no longer paid them any attention.
