Chapter 251 The secret realm is closed
Ye Kang turned around and saw a burly old man wearing inner armor glaring at him.
"So it's General Geng. This junior greets you."
"Stop pretending with me! Give me the Spirit Concealment Pearl!"
General Geng clenched his fists, his bulging muscles straining against his clothes, exuding an imposing aura.
Ye Kang glanced at the Lingyin Pearl in his hand and smiled, "General, what do you mean? I discovered this pearl first, so it should belong to me both morally and logically."
General Geng frowned. He knew Ye Kang was right, but that was his main purpose in entering the secret realm.
Now that we've finally found one, how can we just give it away?
He sneered, "Reason is for people of similar strength. Although you are a Qinglin Guard, I cannot give you this. This city lord needs it to prolong his life."
General Geng put it very bluntly: he was too old. No matter how resounding his reputation was, once his lifespan ended, he would still be dust.
The Spirit Pearl has the power to prolong life, which is exactly what he needs.
Ye Kang expressed his understanding, but still silently put the Spirit Concealment Pearl into his pocket. He then said, "I respect the name of the general, but that doesn't mean you can take advantage of your seniority. If you really want it, then make your move."
"What a reckless brat. Fine, I won't bully the weak. The secret realm will close immediately. Once we're out, you'll naturally hand over the item to me obediently."
General Geng revealed a confident smile, as if he had Ye Kang firmly under his control.
As he finished speaking, a clear drumbeat suddenly rang out in the secret realm.
Morning bells and evening drums.
When the secret realm opens, the bells ring out loudly. The sound of the drums signifies the end of the secret realm.
Sure enough, the next second, several spatial forces crashed down and entered the bodies of the surviving people.
Swish it!
Ye Kang was once again thrown into a dizzying state, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back in the lush green forest outside Qiantang City.
Unexpectedly, the secret realm ended ahead of schedule. Ye Kang looked around and saw that many people were looking around blankly, just like him.
Fortunately, everyone she knew was still alive. Dai Huanhuan found the Thief King, and the two reunited.
Master Guangchun and Gu Lingwei also stood in front of the crowd. It was unknown what kind of opportunity Gu Lingwei had obtained, but her cultivation level had actually jumped to the eighth grade of Xiantian!
Progress is rapid.
The Azure Scale Guards quickly regrouped, exchanging glances and tallying the names of their fallen comrades.
Meanwhile, the White Lotus Sect members who remained outside were completely dumbfounded.
Because the White Lotus Cult members who were sent out in scattered numbers numbered only twelve in total!
"what happened!"
"Where is the vice leader? Why hasn't he come out?"
"Only one Dharma Protector remains! How could this be!"
A chorus of gasps filled the air. Qingyan glanced at the people who had emerged, his face ashen. He knew things were going badly and immediately tried to leave with his men.
But at this point, they could no longer leave as they pleased.
Outside the mountains and forests, the support forces of the Azure Scale Guard had already arrived in full force and had set up an inescapable trap.
The two guardians, Xi Yuan and Pelican, were also among them. They followed the other guardians and quickly surrounded Qingyan and the others.
The pelican laughed loudly, "Iron Oriole, White Stork, you two did a great job! You actually took down a vice-leader, that's an incredible achievement!"
Laughter echoed, but the iron oriole and the white stork frowned.
"It wasn't us. We don't know what happened."
"Not you? Then how come there are only a few rebels left?"
Tie Li said irritably, "How would I know? Everything was fine before we entered the Lingyin Buddhist Cave, but once we got inside, we didn't encounter these rebels at all. Who knows how they died?"
Upon hearing this, everyone stared at each other in disbelief.
If they didn't kill them, then who did?
Many people looked at Fan Longhu.
The latter quickly shook his head: "It has nothing to do with me! I was focused on finding treasure and did not kill a single person."
This left everyone even more confused.
Only the King of Thieves and the Lone Swordsman cast glances at Ye Kang, vaguely guessing what was going on.
The Thief King searched carefully several times, confirming that the Thief King had not come out, but several of his disciples had. However, they were immediately surrounded by the Azure Scale Guards as soon as they appeared.
The King of Thieves was overjoyed. Could it be that the scoundrel is dead?
He quietly approached Ye Kang from behind and whispered, "Lord Song, could it be that..."
"Didn't you already guess that, senior?"
Ye Kang smiled slightly, reached into his robes, and took out a jade token from the Thief King's half of the ancient black jade treasure, which could prove his identity.
The words "Sect Leader of the Shadow-Piercing Sect" are engraved on it.
The King of Thieves could tell at a glance that there was no mistake!
This kid really killed the bandit king for me!
He was both surprised and delighted. He was delighted that his long-cherished wish had finally come true, but he was also surprised at how the kid had managed to do it.
And since he was capable of killing the bandit king, could it be that he was also the one who killed Yu Hansheng...?
Thinking of this, the King of Thieves felt a chill run down his spine and was caught in a dilemma.
There's no other reason than that he wanted to renege on his debt.
He didn't want to pass on his lightness skill to an outsider.
However, it seems that the disparity in strength is too great, and there's no way to deny it now.
Ye Kang also laughed and said, "Senior, it's not that you don't want to keep your promise, is it?"
"How could that be! My word is my bond! It's just that I don't have the manual on hand yet, and I need some time to write one..."
"That's good. Please come with me, Miss Huanhuan. I'm sure you won't break your promise."
Ye Kang wasn't in a hurry. After all, he had just gone through a major battle and needed some time to recuperate. That was more than enough.
At this moment, the sounds of armor and weapons rang out, and all those members of the White Lotus Sect who had not yet retreated were surrounded by the Azure Scale Guards.
With just a command, they can be wiped out in one fell swoop.
However, no one made a move; instead, they all frowned and looked at Master Guangchun.
The latter remained expressionless and said calmly, "I have said that once Lingyin Temple reopens, we must not start any more conflicts."
After saying that, she grabbed Gu Lingwei and they took off into the air.
Gu Lingwei looked at Ye Kang with some anxiety in her eyes, but she dared not say anything more at this moment, and could only say "See you later" with her eyes.
A moment later, the two disappeared into the horizon. The Qinglin Guards, their faces dark, reluctantly said, "Get out! Anyone who dares to challenge the imperial authority again will be killed without mercy!"
Qingyan's face turned extremely dark. He immediately waved his hand and led the White Lotus Sect members away.
Beside Ye Kang, the King of Thieves smiled disdainfully.
"They're good at saying tough things, but in the end, they still have to cater to the whims of the hidden sects. The so-called imperial court, ha."
Not only him, but many independent cultivators had the same expression.
The imperial court may seem powerful, but in the face of reclusive sects, it has no choice but to obey.
Although unwilling, there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, General Geng suddenly stood up and said angrily, "Guards of the Azure Scale Guard, are you trying to bully us by abusing your power!"
"?"
Everyone looked confused.
The white stork asked, "Lord Geng, what makes you say that?"
General Geng pointed directly at Ye Kang.
"This Song Xian stole the Spirit Concealment Pearl I just obtained! You be the judge! Isn't this bullying?!"
