Chapter 404: Seven Cultivators Surround Them, Danger, Danger, Danger!

Just as Ye Bai and his companion had let out a sigh of relief, the unexpected happened!

"Swish! Swish!"

Suddenly, several untimely sounds of wind being broken rang out.

One demonic cultivator, three Righteous Cultivators.

They appeared simultaneously, no more than a few dozen meters away from Ye Bai and his companion!

As luck would have it, among the later batch of the younger generation entering the Secret Realm, four cultivators had been teleported to the vicinity of Ye Bai and his companion!

"We're in..."

"Eh, two junior brothers, to think our luck is so good that we were teleported to the same spot?"

Those three Righteous Cultivators were clearly fellow disciples from the same sect...

"Two senior brothers, look over there.

Are they the two new disciples sent by Langlang Mountain this time?"

Among the three, the younger-looking cultivator's gaze suddenly flickered incessantly.

The gazes of the three Righteous Cultivators landed on Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao at the very first moment!

Excitement, thrill, greed...

The meaning in their eyes was incredibly complex.

But there was no need to doubt that after recognizing the identities of Ye Bai and his companion, they immediately moved to attack Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao, intending to seize the rewards promised by their sect elders!

"Swish!"

Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao's expressions changed simultaneously.

They had never expected that despite the promised random teleportation, four people would be sent right into their faces in the blink of an eye!

"Three fellow Daoists, there is also a demonic cultivator here..."

Situ Chengdao spoke up, reminding the three Righteous Cultivators of the presence of a demonic cultivator, attempting to make the three Righteous Cultivators abandon their designs on them and instead take down that demonic cultivator.

At this moment, he still felt this method should be effective.

After all, Zhuge Cuicui had said that it was a fact that the Righteous Cultivators were dissatisfied with Langlang Mountain.

But they would also be wary of the fact that Langlang Mountain was also a Righteous Path force, so they would not take their lives.

However!

The very next moment, Ye Bai grabbed Situ Chengdao's hand and then... fled backward at top speed!

It was because Ye Bai discovered that after Situ Chengdao spoke, although the three Righteous Cultivators' expressions stiffened, their gazes began to flicker again in the blink of an eye.

He realized then that because Zhuge Cuicui had stayed at Langlang Mountain for many years and had little contact with the outside world, her understanding of human nature was insufficient!

"Those three Righteous Cultivators are only at the level of having just stepped into the Dao Foundation Third Stage; they are not outstanding in this Secret Realm Trial!

Which means, this might be their only chance to take us down and obtain the sect rewards!"

"It is entirely possible for them to temporarily cooperate with the demonic cultivator for the sake of profit, and they would only need to kill that demonic cultivator afterward to keep it unknown to anyone!"

"That demonic cultivator has the strength of the Dao Foundation Peak, and he would absolutely not mind cooperating with the Righteous Cultivators temporarily, because he has a certain degree of confidence that he can protect himself afterward!"

This was what Ye Bai was thinking in his heart at this moment!

He never felt that what Righteous Cultivators did was necessarily righteous, nor did he dare to underestimate the evil of human nature!

And the facts were indeed as Ye Bai had anticipated...

"Heh, running? If we let the two of you escape, wouldn't our strength as fellow disciples be no different from a joke?"

The three Righteous Cultivators looked at the backs of Ye Bai and his companion and immediately sneered.

"This fellow Daoist, how about we work together to take down these two Langlang Mountain disciples?

We only need to capture them and use a Recording Stone to document the scene of us defeating them to go back and claim the sect rewards.

And you can kill them afterward; you will also be able to receive the reward for killing two Langlang Mountain disciples upon returning!"

Then, the two Righteous Cultivators fixed their gazes on the demonic cultivator beside them and transmitted their voices at top speed!

"Agreed!"

The demonic cultivator replied via voice transmission.

"Swish! Swish!" The four Second Step cultivators, less than a second behind Ye Bai and his companion, all erupted with astonishing speed and chased directly after them!

This meant that the Righteous and Demonic cultivators had indeed clashed the moment everyone entered the Secret Realm, only it was Ye Bai and his companion facing both Righteous and Demonic cultivators simultaneously, a total of four people!

No, more than four Second Step cultivators...

The movement speed of Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao was very astonishing.

Relying on various miraculous needle techniques, Situ Chengdao could easily exert speed that surpassed that of a Second Step Peak cultivator.

Ye Bai was the same.

Therefore, although the four Second Step cultivators had reached an agreement to attack Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao together.

Because Ye Bai had reacted in advance and did not give them a chance to join forces, he had taken Situ Chengdao and fled a great distance away at the first opportunity.

For a time, they could only eat dust behind Ye Bai and his companion, and as time passed, the distance between the two sides only grew further!

"Damn it, aren't these two Langlang Mountain disciples one at the Dao Foundation First Stage and one at the Dao Foundation Second Stage? How is their speed so fast!"

"We've used every ounce of our strength, yet we can't catch up to these two ants whose strength is far inferior to ours?!"

The four of them looked at the backs of Ye Bai and his companion, their eyes splitting with rage.

Especially the three Righteous Cultivators.

They had temporarily joined forces with a demonic cultivator for the sake of benefits!

Even if they harbored the thought of joining forces to kill the demonic cultivator afterward, they could not tolerate Ye Bai and his companion still being alive, because that meant Ye Bai and his companion only needed to find some people to expose their actions.

Not only would their sect no longer be able to tolerate them, but there would be no place for the three of them in the vast Central Region!

And then, it was at this moment...

The junior brother among the three sent another voice transmission.

"Two senior brothers, I just used my Mental Power to scout and discovered that one hundred thousand meters away, there are three more Righteous Cultivators!"

"They haven't discovered us yet, and they aren't on the path those two ants ahead must take, but as long as we send them a voice transmission now and have them rush over, we can intercept the two ants ahead!"

"What do you say, should we seek their help?"

Although this junior brother was the youngest, his talent was clearly superior to the other two Righteous Cultivators.

Not only was his Qi and Blood realm at the Dao Foundation Third Stage, but his Mental Power realm had also reached the Dao Foundation Second Stage!

Therefore, after entering the Secret Realm, he was the first to discover and recognize Ye Bai and his companion, and because of this, he discovered the other three Righteous Cultivators from a great distance away!

"Contact them immediately!"

The Dashixiong among the three made a decision in an instant.

"If these two ants don't die, we will surely die!"

"So we can only gamble, gamble that those three Righteous Cultivators also want the reward for defeating a Langlang Mountain disciple!"

This was what this Righteous Cultivator was thinking inside.

And facts proved that he had bet correctly...

On Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao's side, they had only continued to fly forward for a few tens of thousands of meters.

Their expressions stiffened simultaneously, and then, they stopped!

For directly in front of them, three imposing Dao Foundation Third Stage cultivators were looking at them with greedy expressions!

There was nowhere to run!

They could only fight!

This meant that the two of them had been forced to face a formidable lineup of seven Second Step cultivators not long after entering the Secret Realm!

"You two, your names are Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao, right?"

"Aren't you very good at running? If you have the ability, keep running!"
