Chapter 2325: Black Kill Secret Realm

"Looking for death!"

Tu Shi let out a roar, then suddenly surged his power toward Xue Rongwu; with a "bang", the two clashed palm to palm, and Xue Rongwu was knocked back several steps.

Xue Rongtian immediately rushed forward, hoping to strike him while his new force had not yet formed.

But Tu Shi let out a great shout, his figure flickered and vanished before Xue Rongtian's eyes, then he slapped Xue Rongtian on the back.

"Snap" rang sharply, and Xue Rongtian's eyes turned white on the spot.

Ye Liuyun shook his head helplessly, thinking Xue Rongtian had been pampered for far too long to see through such a ploy.

At the same time, the brown lion, finally roused by Tu Shi's roar, immediately lunged toward the nearest Qian Mian.

Qian Mian waved a fan, trying to fan it away.

The brown lion used the fan's wind, suddenly turning in the air and pouncing on White Demon.

White Demon failed to react in time and hurried back; Black Demon lashed the brown lion's claw with a whip, tearing it apart and relieving White Demon's peril.

Then White Demon and Black Demon acted together against the brown lion, while Qian Mian went to aid Xue Rongwu.

Xue Rongwu was somewhat stronger than Xue Rongtian, but his combat experience was still not as rich as Qian Mian's, so several times when he fell into danger, Qian Mian helped resolve it.

"Don't worry about him; eliminating Tu Shi is urgent!"

Ye Liuyun directly sent a Transmission Voice to Qian Mian.

He wanted to put some pressure on Xue Rongwu.

If he can't endure it, keeping him around is of little use.

Qian Mian, having received Ye Liuyun's Transmission Voice, stopped concerning Xue Rongwu and focused on a fierce assault on Tu Shi, leaving Xue Rongwu under immense pressure.

Fortunately he withstood Tu Shi's strike, and Qian Mian seized the chance to cut off Tu Shi's right arm.

Then the two teamed up, each delivering a palm strike to Tu Shi, knocking him to the ground.

Ye Liuyun and his clone immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack, directly devouring Tu Shi's Soul.

At this moment the brown lion was trapped by White Demon with the Black Water of the Boundless Sea, and was quickly corroded until its bones were exposed.

"All right!"

After dealing with Tu Shi, Ye Liuyun halted White Demon, then also launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on the brown lion, devouring its Soul.

The four Martial Cultivators stared at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't understand why Ye Liuyun, who clearly already had the ability to eliminate them, insisted on letting them act and even involved one of their own.

Ye Liuyun understood their meaning and calmly said, "I'm just showing you a principle: I don't keep useless people around me!"

While speaking, Ye Liuyun gathered the corpses on the ground into the Space World, sent Lan Xin and others to deal with them, and extracted the core pills to give Long Nv and the Monster Beasts for advancing their realms.

Xue Rongwu and the others repeatedly nodded, daring not to object.

Ye Liuyun ushered them into the Space World and, together with Yu Yao, hurried toward the Black Kill entrance.

Before the cliff edge, Yu Yao took out the dagger again.

Ye Liuyun examined the dagger closely and noticed a protruding black spider at its tip, realizing it was the emblem of Black Kill.

Yu Yao, holding the dagger, inspected the dead tree, then confirmed the spot on the cliff; after a brief search, he inserted the dagger's hilt into a groove, pointing the spider side upward, and the cliff emitted a creaking mechanism sound.

Yu Yao immediately sheathed the dagger, and the cliff wall slowly opened inward like a door.

Ye Liuyun and Yu Yao entered the stone gate, which closed behind them at once.

The Cave inside was pitch black and narrow, with a descending staircase beneath their feet.

Yu Yao relied on his Divine Sense, while Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil, and together they descended the steps.

After a few turns, an entrance to a Secret Realm lay ahead.

Before entering the Secret Realm, Yu Yao took out a black robe and handed it to Ye Liuyun: "People inside rarely expose their true faces, to avoid being targeted.

Many people use black robes to cover their faces.

If the alliance leader wishes to hide his identity, he can also use a black robe to conceal himself."

"You use it; I have one myself!"

Ye Liuyun said, pulling out a Demon Cultivator's black robe and wrapping himself in it.

Yu Yao also donned the black robe, leading Ye Liuyun into the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm wasn't particularly large, resembling a small town, and it housed a fair number of Martial Cultivators, yet few of them were as low-level as him.

Many people wore black robes to hide their faces, but before Ye Liuyun, none could conceal themselves.

Along both sides of the road, many Martial Cultivators set up stalls selling goods, like a market.

However, the atmosphere was oppressive; no one shouted, and even the voices bargaining over prices were hushed, as if afraid to be heard.

When Ye Liuyun and his party entered, many people glanced this way, but upon seeing them in black robes—clearly not novices—they quickly lost interest.

Ye Liuyun followed Yu Yao inward, casually observing what was being sold on both sides.

The items sold here were mainly rare treasures like genius earth relics, as well as weapons, artifacts, and pills.

"These goods are cheaper than those in outside merchant guilds, but quality varies; once you pay, even if you discover a fake, you can't get a refund.

The rule here is that no one may fight; otherwise the guards will intervene and clean up!"

Yu Yao immediately warned Ye Liuyun, fearing he might be duped.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun saw someone selling human hearts, core pills, and human bones, which gave him a start.

He glanced at the seller; though concealed by the black robe, Ye Liuyun could still see that the person was a white-haired old man.

However, the old man's visage was fierce and his eyes ruthless, clearly not a good person.

"Those are human hearts?"

Ye Liuyun, fearing he misread, specifically asked Yu Yao.

Yu Yao replied, "Yes! They sell everything here.

Some Demon Cultivators need the essence blood from human hearts for cultivation."

Both of them communicated via Transmission Voice, and it didn't affect anyone else.

But at that moment a Demon Cultivator saturated with Demon Qi arrived, his face bearing a conspicuous scar, walked to the old man's stall to buy human bones and hearts, and when he saw Ye Liuyun looking this way, he glared fiercely at Ye Liuyun, his eyes full of threat.

Ye Liuyun immediately averted his gaze.

He had just arrived here and didn't want to cause trouble.

Yu Yao led Ye Liuyun into a black Grand Hall; inside the Grand Hall were a series of compartments, and Yu Yao casually chose one and walked in with Ye Liuyun.

Inside the room there was a tea table for resting.

On the wall opposite the door were some people's images and information, followed by a string of numbers.

"Sit for a while; someone will come to receive us."

Yu Yao told Ye Liuyun.

"What are the people on this wall for?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

He asked because the wall displayed not only an image of the Lion Slayer, but also the white‑haired old man and the scar‑faced figure.

Yu Yao explained to Ye Liuyun: "Those are some assassins on Black Kill's wanted list and the price for killing them.

Someone paid to buy their lives; they must have offended someone!"

"The assassin missions you mentioned—are they these people?"

Ye Liuyun thought that if they were these people, it would be much simpler for him.
