Chapter 209 Golden Core Protects Its Offspring
The first to emerge were Li Yunrui and others. This time, twelve late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and more than twenty mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators entered.
So far, only eight late-stage players and fifteen mid-stage players have emerged.
How could it be so tragic...?
The three Golden Core cultivators remained silent, but the three clan leaders, including Li Yanyun, felt their hearts bleed as they watched the people emerge.
The cultivators who emerged were weak and their bodies were all in poor condition. As for those who did not emerge, they were the backbone of their families, and losing even one of them would be a great loss.
Fortunately, most of those who perished were Foundation Establishment cultivators from vassal families, which made them feel a little better.
The Li family lost one late-stage and five mid-stage cultivators, the Huang family lost two late-stage and six mid-stage cultivators, and the Du family fared the best, losing one late-stage and four mid-stage cultivators.
Damn it.
The Huang family patriarch looked very grim. Although his family had more elite troops than the other two families, they suffered the most severe losses.
It is evident that the other two factions reached a consensus within the secret realm to work together against them.
But this was inevitable, since he attacked both of them in the first place.
Furthermore, this is a rule jointly set by the three parties: in the secret realm, everyone relies on their own abilities, and if someone dies, they die, and no one is allowed to hold them accountable.
He could only swallow his anger and keep it to himself.
Although the three Golden Core cultivators showed sadness on their faces, they did not say much. They each gathered their clansmen aside and asked in deep voices:
"Where are Yan Hui, Yun Shan, and Yong Yi? Why haven't they come out yet?"
"And who has that Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor?"
"Reporting to the Master... that Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor landed on someone named..."
Just as everyone was about to answer, another violent tremor occurred underwater, and a crack appeared where the Water Moon Secret Realm had been, from which four cultivators emerged.
It was Li Yanhui, three Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, and Zhang Lingyu.
Li Yan and the others looked extremely miserable, their injuries far more severe than the others.
This is understandable, as the three of them fought for two whole days after Zhang Lingyu escaped.
Huang Yunshan was the most seriously injured among them.
He took three pills in a row but still couldn't defeat Zhang Lingyu. After she escaped, he was besieged by Li Yan and another person. This series of attacks made his injuries more and more serious.
In the end, if he hadn't taken advantage of Li Yanhui's wariness of Du Yongyi to escape by sacrificing one of his arms, he probably would have perished in the Water Moon Secret Realm.
"Yunshan...how did it get into this state?"
Huang Xingyan's expression was grim. Huang Yunshan was the most talented and strongest member of the clan besides Huang Xingyan. The reason he was sent in this time was precisely because of this.
Now look what's happened.
What appeared before them was a veritable old beggar. The loss of fifteen years of his lifespan seemed to have drained all the vitality from him in an instant; his hair and beard were all white, and his skin was covered with wrinkles, but these were nothing compared to what lay before him...
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Huang Yunshan's left arm, where the sleeve was empty...
Although rare and precious materials could be used to repair the severed arm, the attempt to break through to the Golden Core stage would have to be postponed for a long time.
"What...what exactly happened in this secret realm?!"
The Huang family members looked furious. Huang Yunshan was so full of vigor before he entered, but now he was in such a state. It was not hard to imagine that Li Yanhui and Huang Yunshan had conspired to kill their golden core seeds in advance.
So they each made hand seals and used talismans, waiting for Huang Xingyan's order to charge forward.
This person pulled Huang Yunshan close to him and said with heartache:
"Yunshan, who on earth hurt you like this? What exactly happened in the secret realm?!"
"Master, hurry! The Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor is on Zhang Lingyu." Huang Yunshan didn't reply, but instead pointed to Zhang Lingyu, who was fleeing towards Master Xuanhao.
"Um?"
Although his voice was soft, it was enough to shake all the cultivators present. Everyone looked at the man. They never expected that the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower would be obtained by a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
The Li family cultivators were overjoyed; a great weight had finally been lifted from their hearts.
Upon hearing this, Master Xuanhao showed no joy whatsoever. Instead, he reached out without hesitation, attempting to forcibly pull Zhang Lingyu to his side.
Not only that, the other two Golden Core cultivators also made a fierce move!
Clearly, all three wanted to get their hands on it.
"Huang Xingyan, Du Yizhao, do you want to break the rules?! Zhang Lingyu is a member of the Li family!"
Beneath the Jade Lake, the undercurrents surged, and the moment the auras of the three Golden Core cultivators clashed, they finally erupted in full force.
The moment the Golden Core cultivator made his move, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the bottom of the water instantly became extremely chaotic, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy that was bound to drag everything around it into dust.
The cultivators were filled with fear. Even those at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage from the three powerful families were swaying and staggering in the turbulent flow of spiritual energy, finding it extremely difficult to even maintain their posture.
These were nothing compared to the three powerful pressures that constantly lingered in their minds, making them pale with fear, as if they might collapse at any moment.
"Is this... the power of a Golden Core cultivator...?"
"Is this... the power of a Golden Core cultivator...?"
Zhang Lingyu, who was at the center of the storm, was in the worst pain, as her injuries, which had not yet fully healed, flared up again.
Three forces were attacking from all directions, each trying to pull him to their side. If it weren't for his strong physical body, he would have been torn into three pieces in the clash between the three Golden Core cultivators.
Fortunately, he saw Master Xuanhao as soon as he came out and flew towards him without hesitation. In addition, Master Xuanhao was the most powerful among the three. After a struggle, he finally returned to the Li family.
"Cough cough."
Zhang Lingyu's face was deathly pale. She forced down the blood that was rising in her throat and took a few pills to make herself feel a little better.
When he looked up slightly, he found a purple-gold gourd hanging above him, casting a rich spiritual light to protect him.
magic weapon.
This immortal is using a magical artifact to protect him, preventing Huang Xingyan and his companion from launching another attack to snatch him away.
"Gentlemen, are you unwilling to abide by these rules that have been in place for hundreds of years? Or do you intend for the three of us to fight here today?" Master Xuanhao's voice was not loud, but every word was a threat.
It's important to understand that the three families' rules are that they don't care if someone fights to the death in the secret realm, but once they leave the secret realm, they are absolutely forbidden from fighting again. The spirit items belong to whoever owns them, and they are not allowed to steal them again.
The Huang family broke the rules first, and it seems they still don't want to.
"Fellow Daoist Li, you are mistaken. The victor is king and the loser is a bandit. How could we not abide by this? However, my Yunshan is so badly injured that I would like to ask this young friend in person what exactly happened."
Seeing that he was outmatched and hadn't managed to capture the person, Huang Xingyan snorted coldly:
"I'm also very curious about how this young friend managed to obtain the Water Curtain Heavenly Flower... He's only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."
"Heh, so what if I'm in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage? Besides, not all the cultivators from your family are dead. Just ask them and you'll know what happened in the secret realm."
Master Xuanhao showed him no mercy and continued to mock him:
"If you don't want to ask, I will. Let my cultivator recount the whole story so everyone can know, Yan Hui!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Li Yanhui, having just recovered from his injuries, agreed and then looked at the three Golden Core cultivators and numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators, saying in a deep voice:
"Three True Immortals, fellow Daoists, the matter is as follows."
