Chapter 562

Outside the Secret Realm, the guardian Elder, relatives, and friends of those people were also waiting outside with anxious hearts.

After being sucked into the inheritance, Ye Liuyun actually got separated from Liang Xue.

After the dizziness caused by the teleportation subsided, when he regained consciousness, he found himself in a dense forest.

"Is this a Secret Realm? The trees are actually so tall?" Ye Liuyun surveyed his surroundings.

The air here is thick with Archaic World aura, giving Ye Liuyun a sense of familiarity, very similar to the environment of the Blood Thunder Secret Realm at the Sacred Martial Academy.

He tried to see if he could absorb this Archaic World aura for cultivation.

"Indeed, it's the same as the Blood Thunder Secret Realm at the Sacred Martial Academy!" The Archaic World aura here can be absorbed and converted into True Essence.

He also felt that the energy of the Nine Heavens War God Crocodile Dragon had already been stored in his body. At this moment, the Guardian God Seal had disappeared.

"Liang Xue?" Ye Liuyun discovered that, in this Secret Realm, his sense of Liang Xue's Divine Sense imprint was extremely faint, only able to discern a rough direction.

He extended his Divine Sense to probe the entire Secret Realm, but found no boundary at all. "It seems Liang Xue has been teleported far away from me!"

Thinking this, he no longer bothered to think about anything else, confirmed a rough direction, and hurried over.

However, he dared not fly in the air; instead, he shuttled through the void.

In this Archaic World Secret Realm, even a mouse could have a cultivation level surpassing his. Therefore, he also dared not show himself lightly, lest he invite unnecessary trouble.

Yet he hadn't gone far when he actually spotted humans. Moreover, these people wore uniform sect-style clothing, appearing to be disciples of some sect.

"Eh? How can there be sect disciples in this Secret Realm?" Seeing these people, Ye Liuyun grew even more worried about Liang Xue.

Among the five youths before him, the weakest was a girl, only one realm lower than him, and there was even a senior brother in the Yin-Yang Realm.

Ye Liuyun dared not get too close; he could only faintly hear their conversation from a distance.

"Senior Brother Wen, are you confident in dealing with that brown-tailed scorpion? Or should we wait for Senior Sister Mingyue to arrive before acting?" The girl with the lowest cultivation suggested. Obviously, she didn't have much faith in Senior Brother Wen's strength.

"Ling'er, why do you want to wait for Senior Sister Mingyue for everything? Then what's the point of us coming out to train? We finally entered the Qingxiao Secret Realm; we can't just do nothing, take a look around, and go back," Senior Brother Wen said discontentedly.

"But that brown-tailed scorpion is of the Yin Yang Yi Chong realm!" Ling'er muttered softly.

"I am also at the Yin Yang Yi Chong realm; why would I fear a mere beast? If you're not daring to go, wait here—I'll take the others."

Senior Brother Wen said this, called over the other three men, and walked off with them into the distance, leaving Ling'er behind.

Ling'er looked around, not daring to stay alone, yet also not wanting to join them in the adventure, so she followed them from a distance.

Not long after, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil noticed they had arrived before a black hole and began striking the ground.

From the hole, a dark brown scorpion soon emerged, its tail a light brown, very conspicuous.

That scorpion's size was indeed that of the Archaic World, appearing even larger than Lei Ming's build! Its two big eyes, like lanterns, swept over the four people outside.

"No wonder the burrow is so huge—its body is big enough!" Ye Liuyun marveled inwardly.

"Attack!"

At Senior Brother Wen's command, they all struck simultaneously, various honor-ranked weapons and treasures smashing toward the brown-tailed scorpion. For a moment, the impacts rang loudly, yet the scorpion remained unscathed.

"Senior Brother Wen, this beast's shell is too hard to smash!" a disciple shouted at Senior Brother Wen.

"Use Ice Power to freeze it, restricting its movement. Others, don't strike randomly—aim for its eyes!" Senior Brother Wen commanded.

Soon, their attacks became orderly. One person released Ice Power to slow the scorpion's movements, while the others' weapons and treasures all aimed for its eyes.

This attack had some effect; the brown-tailed scorpion was beaten back repeatedly.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun secretly activated his Golden Pupil, sizing up the girl named Ling'er to check her cultivation level.

He intended to abduct this girl and interrogate her about the situation in this Secret Realm.

The girl named Ling'er was currently focusing intently on the others' battle, unaware of Ye Liuyun's scrutiny.

She was engrossed in watching when suddenly she discovered that her own Soul had been dragged into someone else's Soul domain.

"Who are you?" the girl's Soul asked, voice trembling.

"Boom!" a sheet of Nether Ghost Fire suddenly appeared beside Ling'er.

She felt the terror of this flame, her whole body trembling even more severely.

"Answer my questions truthfully, and I'll let you go unharmed! If you utter even half a lie, I'll kill you outright!"

Ye Liuyun's hollow voice echoed from within the Soul domain.

"You... you won't kill me! Ask... whatever you want, I'll tell you!" Ling'er replied, voice trembling.

Outside the Soul world, Ye Liuyun directly stored Ling'er in his Storage Ring, then again concealed himself in the void, distancing from that battlefield.

Senior Brother Wen was leading several disciples, happily fighting the brown-tailed scorpion, and had no time to attend to Ling'er's situation.

After taking Ling'er to a remote, uninhabited area, Ye Liuyun released her from the Storage Ring and directly began interrogating her.

The girl, upon seeing Ye Liuyun's appearance, was also full of curiosity.

"Which sect are you a disciple of? What's your name?" Ye Liuyun started with simple questions.

"I'm from the Three Origins Sect, my name is Qu Ling'er. Who are you?" Seeing Ye Liuyun's young age and handsome looks, Qu Ling'er was no longer as frightened as before.

"Do I really look that much like a bad person?" Ye Liuyun felt a bit regretful; it would have been better to directly interrogate her Soul.

Thus Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil flickered, and Nether Ghost Fire surged again into Qu Ling'er's Sea of Consciousness—only to frighten her, without truly harming her.

But this was already enough to scare her, and she immediately became honest.

"I won't ask anymore—don't hurt me!"

"Hmm, that's right. I'll ask, you answer—no nonsense." Ye Liuyun said, nodding.

Then he continued asking.

"What Secret Realm is this? How did you enter? Where is your sect located?"

"You don't know what Secret Realm this is? Then how did you get in?" Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's question, Qu Ling'er couldn't help but become curious.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's Nether Ghost Fire was not directed at her, so her curiosity flared up and she forgot her fear.
