Chapter 23: Tianwu Sect Saintess: Tu Wan

"This, this possibility shouldn't be very high, right?" Hearing this, Lin Feng was also somewhat hesitant.

After all, the records only said he was buried; they really didn't say he was dead.

"Records aren't necessarily all true; let's hurry inside."

Jiang Xun interrupted the group and said.

Jun Tianling could not possibly still be alive; if he were still alive, let alone this mountain gate, they would have kicked the bucket before even seeing Xuwang Mountain.

They might have even kicked the bucket the moment they planned to come here.

Everyone nodded and followed behind Jiang Xun into the mountain gate.

There was clearly a Barrier here before, and the aura of the Barrier still lingered around, though it had already been broken by the sect disciples who came before.

Now, those at the Foundation Establishment Stage had already been demonized and were nowhere to be found, nor would they come here again.

Those at the Golden Core Stage had already been slain by Jiang Xun or those scouting the path ahead.

Those remaining were presumably all elites at the Nascent Soul stage.

The further they walked inside, the brighter the Secret Realm became; there was no need for Lin Feng's illumination Dharma Treasure, as the surroundings were already bright.

Before them was an upward staircase with cliffs on both sides; it was only a very narrow strip, at most wide enough for two people to walk through.

Thus, Jiang Xun and Lin Feng led the way in front.

They climbed a total of one hundred steps before finally reaching the top.

What entered everyone's view was a super-large plaza.

Stone pillars stood tall on the plaza, mostly carved with coiling dragons; they were still some distance away from Jiang Xun and his group, and Jiang Xun's group stopped in their tracks.

Right there on the plaza, many Demonic Beasts surged in from all directions, numbering no less than fifty.

Over twenty sect disciples were each displaying their own divine abilities to fight the Demonic Beasts, and some were even slapped to death by the beasts.

"Heavens, they are all Spirit Severing realm Demonic Beasts, and the ones with the lowest cultivation are at the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage Peak..." Lu Yingying sighed as she watched the sect disciples fighting below.

"Should we go down and help?" Jiang Che asked, looking at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng then looked toward Jiang Xun.

At this moment, Jiang Xun was staring at the group of disciples below; it wasn't that he was worried about them, but rather that a few beautiful women had caught Jiang Xun's gaze.

A handsome woman dressed in white with a high ponytail held a long sword, her face full of heroic spirit, her figure graceful; she danced among the Demonic Beasts, and looking at her, she seemed to be handling it with ease.

She seemed to know the weakness of every Demonic Beast, always able to kill them with a single precise strike.

【Ding, S-Rank Daughter of Luck detected: Long Qingxin!】

【Return Multiplier: 10】

【Favorability: 0】

"Oh?"

Jiang Xun, who was originally just admiring the woman sword-dancing, was stunned; he didn't expect that a casual glance would allow him to see a Daughter of Luck.

"Senior? Are we going?"

Lin Feng stood beside Jiang Xun and asked.

"If they can't even handle mere Demonic Beasts, then why bother exploring the Secret Realm."

Jiang Xun waved his hand and smiled.

"It seems you all also want to sit back and reap the rewards."

Just as Jiang Xun finished speaking, a woman's voice came from the high stone wall beside them.

Everyone looked up.

They saw a woman sitting on the stone wall.

The woman was dressed in a black gauze robe, with an Iron Ring holding up her ponytail.

Her gaze was sharp and alluring.

Her nose bridge was high and petite.

Those bright red lips were also very appetizing.

What was even more deadly was that her chest was so impressive, it actually had the potential to surpass Liu Ruoyun's!

Behind her stood two men in black robes, both wearing black masks; just standing there, they looked like a mass of black mist.

"Tianwu Sect!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng widened his eyes and immediately took out his Dharma Artifact.

Lu Yingying and Jiang Che were also as if facing a great enemy.

Jiang Xun, however, was not surprised; when he walked up these steps, he had already sensed that there were people here.

【Ding, SSS-Rank Daughter of Luck detected: Tu Wan.】

【Return Multiplier: 10】

【Favorability: 0】

'Tu Wan?' Jiang Xun was stunned when he saw this name.

Isn't this the name of the Tianwu Sect Saintess?

Is the Tianwu Sect so generous that they even sent the Saintess?

Moreover, her cultivation was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

However, looking at the two men behind her, he understood; these two were both experts at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection.

With these two present, even if Tu Wan couldn't seize the Secret Realm, she could still retreat unscathed without any threat to her life.

"Don't be so nervous." Tu Wan curled her lips upon seeing this, her expression playful: "If I wanted to make a move, I would have already done so when you were coming up just now."

"Stop spouting nonsense there, you demoness of the Tianwu Sect!" Lu Yingying, not knowing where her temper came from, gritted her teeth and shouted at Tu Wan.

It seems this young lady has a grudge against the Tianwu Sect.

Tu Wan's face darkened upon hearing this; her smile vanished, and she then waved her hand.

A streak of black light rushed toward Lu Yingying at extreme speed.

It was a short blade, black from end to end.

Seeing this speed, Lu Yingying's face turned deathly pale; she had no time to defend herself, and Lin Feng and Jiang Che also grew anxious, preparing to intervene.

Bang!

The sound of a collision rang out; Jiang Xun appeared before Lu Yingying, and without making a move, a barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the black short blade.

The black short blade then headed back toward Tu Wan at extreme speed.

A man behind her reached out and gripped the short blade above Tu Wan's head.

"Why be so impatient?"

Jiang Xun's deep, seasoned voice rang out.

He was not afraid that the rebounded short blade would hurt Tu Wan; otherwise, what were those two behind her there for?

Seeing Jiang Xun rebound the short blade without making a move, the two men in black robes also turned serious, locking onto Jiang Xun with their Qi to prevent him from attacking suddenly.

"Golden Core?" one of the men frowned and muttered in a low voice.

"Th... thank you, Senior." Lu Yingying finally came to her senses and hurriedly thanked Jiang Xun.

【Ding, Lu Yingying's favorability: 10.】

【Return multiplier: 100】

【Ding, Lin Feng's favorability: 10】

【Return multiplier: 100】

"Thank you, Senior, for saving us."

Lin Feng then also hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Jiang Xun waved his hand, said nothing more, and then looked at Tu Wan.

"If this old man is not mistaken, you are the Saintess of the Tianwu Sect, Tu Wan, right?"

Hearing Tu Wan's name, Lin Feng and the other two, as well as Liu Ruoyun and her companion, were all startled.

Tu Wan frowned upon hearing this, biting her lip without speaking.

She did not know how this old man before her had recognized her; she should never have met him.

The atmosphere above was filled with the scent of gunpowder, while the plaza below was still in fierce combat.

Many Demonic Beasts had already been slain.

It turned out the rumors in Xuwang Town were true; this place really did have Demonic Beasts, and they could exit from the Secret Realm through a certain location.

"How do you know?"

After a silence, Tu Wan looked at Jiang Xun and asked.

"I heard that the Saintess of the Tianwu Sect possesses a beautiful appearance, a rare beauty among people; seeing you today, it is indeed so."

Jiang Xun smiled.

If these words had been spoken by a dashing young gentleman, Tu Wan might have been pleased.

But with an old man in front of her, it carried a sense of flirtation!

Anger instantly rose in Tu Wan's heart, yet she dared not attack recklessly.

That scene from just a moment ago was still before her eyes.

"Since we have met here and our goals are the same, why not join forces?"

Jiang Xun continued.

"Senior, you cannot!" Lu Yingying hurriedly shouted: "They are from the Tianwu Sect!"
