Chapter 96: Deceptive Method

"Beast Tide?"

The Ziguang Sect crowd knew the Xuanyuan Sect would launch an attack, but they did not expect this method.

Although they had already set up defensive Arrays, even a Golden Core cultivator would not want to face a Beast Tide.

Fortunately, the Xuanyuan Sect's power was limited; they could only summon a small Beast Tide.

Over a hundred Beasts, even if all were Qi Refining Beasts, would be difficult for them to resist.

"Get out!"

"How is this possible!"

How could it appear here?

But Liu Wei was no fool; he quickly realized the Ziguang Sect had used a Deceptive Method.

Liu Wei had no time to think further, turned, and flew toward the sect, shouting to the Elder beside him, "Run!"

The remaining Beasts instantly snapped to their senses, turned, and scattered in all directions to flee.

Facing the siege of several Foundation Establishment cultivators, among whom was one who was half-step Golden Core.

That was what was said, but the Ziguang Sect crowd understood that Elder Wei had acted to help them; no matter what, they had to be grateful.

And the Elder before them was the best opportunity.

Meanwhile, the Xuanyuan Sect Elder who saw this scene not far away instantly turned as black as a pot bottom, cursed inwardly, yet still lurked closer.

After making arrangements, the Supreme Elder led everyone into the Secret Realm.

The Xuanyuan Sect already had fewer Foundation Establishment cultivators than the Ziguang Sect; moreover, the newly promoted Foundation Establishment cultivator Gongsun Mingque had died inexplicably, so the number of Foundation Establishment cultivators had not increased.

"Calm down!"

Now that they knew the true strength of the Ziguang Sect, there was no need to fear.

Liu Wei's eyes were full of unwillingness, regret, and despair.

The Ziguang Sect quickly let Luo Yao and others enter the Secret Realm first; afterward, the Great Elder and others used a Dharma Treasure to hide their presence, concealing themselves rather than entering the Secret Realm.

The Beast Tide at the very front had already turned into flesh paste; the ground had even collapsed, revealing a huge handprint one meter deep.

"Thank you, Elder Wei!"

When Liu Wei and others saw the Supreme Elder disappear at the Secret Realm entrance, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief, yet then became puzzled.

But unfortunately, the Ziguang Sect Supreme Elder had acted, blocking most of the power for the Ziguang Sect crowd, allowing them to keep their lives.

"Damn it!"

If the Beast Tide destroyed this Secret Realm entrance, then Luo Yao would have no way to enter the Secret Realm.

How could the Ziguang Sect crowd possibly let them leave?

On the other side, the Xuanyuan Sect quickly received information.

"You bastards, even if I die, I will not let you have a good time."

This Array was set up by the Supreme Elder, sufficient to withstand attacks from Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet it was breached in an instant.

The Ziguang Sect had only left behind two Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, while they had left Liu Wei, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, plus two other Foundation Establishment Elders, enough to deal with the Ziguang Sect's sneak attack.

After all, if most of the Ziguang Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators had not entered, they too would have to leave behind most of their Foundation Establishment cultivators to ensure their home would not be stolen during the Secret Realm period.

A disciple stepped forward, wanting to calm everyone, but no one listened to him; after all, the one who spoke was only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining.

Boom!

Liu Wei self-destructed, determined to drag the Ziguang Sect crowd down with him even in death.

The Xuanyuan Sect disciples saw their Sect Master and Elders die miserably before their eyes and instantly filled their faces with despair.

Boom!

Although Liu Wei was at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, he had not a shred of power to fight back against Kong Xianglin, who was half-step Golden Core.

The Xuanyuan Sect Elder released his Divine Sense, confirmed that besides Elder Wei, there were only two Foundation Establishment cultivators, then quietly left, and quickly transmitted a sound message to the Xuanyuan Sect.

Afterwards, the two seemed very angry and vented their rage on the surroundings.

The Ziguang Sect crowd was also so shocked they could not speak; was this the power of a Golden Core cultivator? It was too terrifying.

Afterwards, they canceled the Array, revealing the Great Elder and the Third Elder.

Suddenly, a Foundation Establishment aura appeared all around; everyone turned their heads and saw it was the Third Elder, instantly showing expressions of joy.

"How is this possible!"

Liu Wei had no objection; it seemed the Supreme Elder had already made arrangements with them, after all, no matter what, the Xuanyuan Sect still needed a Sect Master to hold the position.

Boom!

However, just as they were breathing a sigh of relief, the Array surrounding the Secret Realm entrance suddenly shook violently, obviously under attack.

Crack!

Liu Wei's face changed drastically; had they not said most of the Ziguang Sect Elders had entered the Secret Realm?

Elder Wei merely waved his hand, obviously not caring, "I acted only for Xiao Yao."

However, now that Elder Wei had acted and resolved their trouble, they were instantly overjoyed.

"The Third Elder is Foundation Establishment; we are saved."

Those two were the Ziguang Sect's strongest cultivators; now that both had entered the Secret Realm, they could rest easier and arrange for people to enter the Secret Realm more effectively.

Strike while the iron is hot!

The other Ziguang Sect Elders all acted, rushing to kill Liu Wei; after all, as a Sect Master, he naturally had many means, and they did not want to let Liu Wei escape.

"What are you panicking about? We have..."

Two Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators; the two of them were no match at all; only returning to the sect would be safest.

Kong Xianglin instantly rushed to kill Liu Wei, while the new Elder Zhu Min also went all out to attack another Xuanyuan Sect Elder; having just joined, he naturally needed to establish merit.

There was no one in the sect capable of managing affairs, so when they saw the Ziguang Sect crowd walking toward the sect, all the disciples fled in panic, seemingly forgetting the existence of the Mountain-Protecting Array.

However, considering that most Elders of the Ziguang Sect had entered the Secret Realm, they naturally could not come to trouble them again.

"Dogs of the Xuanyuan Sect, get out here!"

"I, Elder Xu, Great Elder, the three of us entered the Secret Realm."

The instant the Array vanished, Liu Wei saw the figure of the attacker.

Leaving three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators behind seemed few, but in reality, they had no choice.

Almost all Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Ziguang Sect had arrived.

Liu Wei exerted his utmost strength, yet in the end, he collapsed.

The disciples of the Xuanyuan Sect could only watch helplessly as their Sect Master spat blood and was blasted backward, smashing heavily into the ground.

Boom!

The entire earth trembled; everyone looked ahead in horror, seeing a huge gap appear within that Beast Tide.

"Excellent, Third Elder has returned."

Kong Xianglin at Foundation Establishment Peak, the Loose Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Peak seen before, Third Elder of the Ziguang Sect, Fourth Elder, and so on.

Just then, Elder Wei suddenly let out a cold snort, radiating Golden Core Stage momentum; then he raised his hand and formed a spell seal, whereupon a sky-obscuring giant handprint appeared out of thin air and smashed down upon the Beast Tide.

The Supreme Elder glanced around, "We have received news that four Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators from the Ziguang Sect have entered the Secret Realm, including Kong Xianglin and Yang Zhi."

"Damn it!"

Thinking that if this attack had struck them, they could not help but shiver.

The next second, their expressions changed drastically; the defensive Array had actually been broken.

And another Elder of the Xuanyuan Sect could not withstand the siege of the Ziguang Sect and finally died with regret in his heart.

"Stick to the plan!"

The Ziguang Sect actually did not come to cause trouble?

Third Elder, now Seventh Elder of the Ziguang Sect, looked at the disciples, but the moment he spoke, their faces changed drastically.

"Turn off the Array; I have a trump card that can deal with them!"
