Chapter 694: Chapter 696: The Terrifying Thing is Coming
In this dimly lit passage, Ling Shiyu and Han i felt a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.
The two clung tightly to each other, then stayed very close to Xia Liu.
Only by doing so could they obtain a greater sense of safety.
As for Xia Liu, his Divine Sense could extend to the surroundings for a hundred ters, so he wasn’t worried about anything.
Should there be a sudden situation, he would be able to react at the fastest speed.
Inhaling the scents from both sides of the passage, Xia Liu chose to rely on the right side to move forward.
After about ten minutes, Xia Liu stopped in his tracks.
...
His Divine Sense had detected a spacious area ahead, where several corpses lay on the ground.
“Stay close to
and don’t panic,” Xia Liu said, turning his head towards Ling Shiyu and Han i.
The death of Martial Artists ant that there was danger ahead.
If the two won didn’t act hastily, Xia Liu was confident he could protect them well.
“Understood, Brother Xia Liu!”
After the two won nodded in response, Xia Liu lead them slowly toward the area ahead.
And his Divine Sense probed the surroundings over and over again.

He wanted to know how exactly those people had died.
However, after moving past the passage, Xia Liu still couldn’t discern any clues.
“Those are disciples of my Lingyun Sect!”
Upon seeing the bodies on the ground, Ling Shiyu scread out.
“Don’t get agitated!” Xia Liu imdiately cautioned.
He had already identified the garnts on these Martial Artists, all bearing the emblem of Lingyun Sect’s divine peak, when his Divine Sense had swept over.
“Shiyu, keep calm. It’s very dangerous here!” Han i was also scared; now, only by staying behind Xia Liu could she ensure her own safety.
Ling Shiyu’s eyes reddened. She knew all of the Lingyun Sect’s disciples.
Being together all year long for training, affection was bound to develop, and seeing their deaths was heart-wrenching.
But in this perilous secret realm, she knew that safety could only be found behind Xia Liu.
“It looks like they were killed by a blade cutting through their throats,” Xia Liu concluded, examining the ferocious wounds left on the bodies.
The wounds were so horrific that Ling Shiyu and Han i almost vomited at the sight, but thankfully, they managed to suppress it with their Inner Qi.
“Who could have done this?” Han i asked, struggling to control her emotions.
“I don’t know, but since they were attacked from the front, it indicates that the assailant was not weak,” Xia Liu shook his head. The Martial Artists’ cultivation should all be at Mysterious Rank or above.
The fact that they had been killed by a frontal blade attack suggested that the enemy was formidable.
Moreover, the wounds were on the neck, which further indicated the enemy’s precision.
“Could it be that they found so treasure, and then were killed by a High-Rank Martial Artist?” Ling Shiyu inquired.
“That’s unlikely. Their wounds are very uniform. Unless the High-Rank Martial Artist has such a predilection, such ticulous killing is not typical for a robbery,” Xia Liu elaborated.
“Could there be so kind of terrifying entity within the Secret Realm?”
At this speculation, Ling Shiyu and Han i began to tremble.
As outsiders, it was quite possible that whatever originally resided here would act to expel them.
“Perhaps, don’t move. Let
check behind this wall.” Although Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the wall, Xia Liu could see that the stone wall, shaped like an archway, surely led sowhere.
With a mighty heave of his palm, Xia Liu instantly stood before what looked like the archway in the stone wall.
He raised his palm, and imdiately struck the stone wall.
Boom!
The recoil force sent Xia Liu several ters back, and at that very mont, the portion of the stone wall began to tremble.
About thirty seconds later, the stone wall actually began to rise on its own.
No, it would be more accurate to say it was a stone gate.
Just when the stone gate had risen over a ter high, Xia Liu spread his arms wide, shielding the two won behind him, all the while Spiritual Energy burst forth, enveloping his surroundings.
“Brother Xia Liu, what’s happening?” the two won asked weakly.
“Sothing is coming out from inside!” Since his Divine Sense couldn’t extend beyond the stone gate, Xia Liu was unclear about what might erge.
But the aura in the air and his sixth sense made him involuntarily tense up.
“Ah!” the two won almost instantly clung to Xia Liu in a flash.
In such a place, whatever would co out was bound to be terrifying.
…
Xia Liu was sowhat speechless; the soft sensation coming from both sides was sowhat intoxicating, yet he had to push the two won away – otherwise, how could he perform…
“It’s coming!”
As the presence drew closer, Xia Liu tensed up as well.
In this kind of secret realm ant for cultivators, his Qi Cultivation Stage cultivation was really insignificant.
Sotis, even cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt Stage could et their deaths.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh…
Amidst Xia Liu’s tension, a dark figure swiftly darted out from the stone gate.
At that mont, Xia Liu saw clearly – wasn’t that Ling Jue, the Sect Master of Lingyun Sect?
“Father! How could it be you?” Ling Shiyu exclaid in surprise upon seeing the person who ca out.
Indeed, Ling Shiyu’s father was none other than Ling Jue, the Sect Master of Lingyun Sect.
“Ah! Shiyu, what are you doing here? And Daoist Fellow Xia as well.”
Ling Jue was also stunned, never having expected to encounter his own daughter and the fearso Xia Liu here.
“Father, have you lost your mind? I was sucked into this secret realm with you,” Ling Shiyu said with so embarrassnt. It seed her own father had lost his mory – how could he forget such a thing.
“Right, right, right, I rember now. But we mustn’t stay here; we need to run fast. Sothing terrifying is about to co out!”
Ling Jue hurriedly spoke, his face turning a bit pale.
Thinking back to his ordeal within the stone gate sent shivers down his spine.
“Sect Master Ling, what’s going on?” Xia Liu’s Divine Sense was now able to extend a bit into the stone gate; he hadn’t detected anything unusual.
“Daoist Fellow Xia, when my disciples and I arrived here, we were surrounded and attacked by a swarm of terrifying mice. They were so powerful that I could only fend them off, but not kill them. If it hadn’t been for the sudden opening of the stone gate, I would have died right there.”
Rembering those dreadful creatures, Ling Jue’s scalp tingled.
“Mice? Were all these disciples killed by the mice?” Xia Liu was sowhat frustrated. Ling Jue was able to contend with the mice but not to kill them, which was indeed strange.
And had these mice beco demons? Possessing cultivation of High-Rank Heaven Stage or above, it was truly horrifying.
“Yes, now is not the ti to explain; we must hurry and leave. Otherwise, once that swarm of mice gets out, none of us will survive!”
Having experienced the terror of those bizarre mice, Ling Jue urged them urgently.
“Father, Brother Xia Liu is very powerful. If it’s just those mice, he will definitely be able to eliminate them,” said Ling Shiyu with a bitter tone, seeing the state her father was in.
“Shiyu, the terror of that swarm of mice is beyond your imagination. Even Daoist Fellow Xia wouldn’t stand a chance against them. Let’s run quickly…”
