Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 134 Encounter

Just as Wu Ming had captured the Blood Demon Sect disciple and was about to take down another enemy, the ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator nearby made a move Wu Ming had never expected! He ignored the dozens of fierce sword beams unleashed by the Golden Light Sword, brazenly resisting the attack. He quickly retracted his flying sword and, without hesitation, stepped onto it, fleeing like a stray dog!

This sudden turn of events left Wu Ming perplexed. He had assumed that after he had defeated the Blood Demon Sect cultivator, his fellow disciples would be filled with righteous indignation and rise up to defend him, but reality was the complete opposite. Could it be that he was facing a situation similar to what had happened to Xue Linglong and her fellow disciples? If so, it would clearly indicate that these so-called major sects were not as united as imagined.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming felt a little relieved. After all, if his fellow disciples from these powerful forces could truly work together, even if the five of them gathered together, they would probably find it difficult to withstand so many powerful enemies.

However, when he was outside the secret realm before, he hadn't seen anyone from the Blood Demon Sect arrive. He had originally assumed that the Blood Demon Sect's disciples wouldn't be involved this time, but who would have thought they would encounter them so soon? Given the Blood Demon Sect's usual style, this trip to the secret realm would undoubtedly bring many more complications.

The fleeing ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, however, had the exact opposite idea. He fled for several miles before finally stopping and hiding in a dense forest. He leaned against a tree, panting heavily, secretly thanking himself, "Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I'd be in big trouble!"

After calming down a bit, he muttered to himself, "I was so careless! I thought that man was just an ordinary cultivator like me, so I planned to find a few lone cultivators with him to get some resources. Who would have thought that guy was actually a cultivator from the Blood Evil Sect! If the people of Qingyun Sect knew that I was colluding with the cultivators of the Blood Evil Sect in the secret realm, I would definitely not have a good time after I get out. Fortunately, there were conflicts within the Blood Evil Sect, which exposed his identity in advance, otherwise I don't know how long I would have been deceived by him!

But then again, the fighting power of the disciples from those major sects is indeed extraordinary. Those two Blood Demon Sect cultivators, one at the seventh and the other at the eighth level, are both far more powerful than me. It seems the cultivators trained by these powerful factions are not to be trifled with! Sigh, it's safer to stay away from them from now on.

I had originally thought that I could leverage my ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation to gain some benefits and advantages during this journey. Perhaps with a bit of luck, I could even secure a chance to build my foundation! However, things haven't turned out the way I hoped! Now it seems like participating in this secret adventure was a complete mistake! The most important thing right now is to stay alive; nothing else matters. After all, only by surviving can one truly discuss the future; that's the true path to success!

None of this had anything to do with Wu Ming. After collecting the spoils, he found a safe place, treated the wound on his arm first, and then swallowed a recovery pill to begin recovering his true energy.

After an incense stick of time, Wu Ming's vital energy returned to normal, and the wound on his arm slowly began to scab over. He then picked up the jade token to check, only to find that the distance between him and the other person was shortening. It seemed that the other person knew he was approaching him, and he was also moving closer to him.

Sure enough, within an hour, Wu Ming saw someone cautiously approaching him from a distance. When he got closer, he realized that the person was none other than Zhao Xiaohai.

"Wu Ming, I didn't expect we were the closest! I was just wondering who was approaching me!" Zhao Xiaohai's face lit up with joy upon seeing Wu Ming. However, when he noticed the wound on Wu Ming's arm, he frowned and asked with concern, "What happened to you? Are you injured? Were you attacked by a demonic beast, or did you have a conflict with another cultivator?"

"I didn't expect that it would be you! You didn't encounter any danger along the way, did you? As for the injury on my arm, it's just a minor problem and it will heal in a few days. Don't worry too much. In fact, I just met two monks from the Blood Evil Sect on the road, and I was ambushed by them because of my carelessness." Wu Ming answered lightly.

"The cultivators from the Blood Evil Sect? How come they appear here? Did they enter the secret realm later? How abominable! The sect actually let these guys enter the secret realm!" Zhao Xiaohai said angrily.

Wu Ming also felt a little dissatisfied, but he understood that the sect must have its reasons for doing so. Although he was confused by the sect's decision and did not understand why they allowed the cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect to enter the secret realm, especially knowing that they were the minions of the Netherworld Sect in Qingjiang County, this behavior was simply giving resources to the enemy. However, he knew that complaining at this time would be useless, so he spoke calmly.

"The sect has its own arrangements, and we just need to abide by them. Now that we're together, we have a certain degree of self-defense capability. The most urgent thing now is to think about our next move. First, we need to observe and see if there are any other people close to us."

Wu Ming secretly rejoiced at his reunion with Zhao Xiaohai; at least they could look after each other. He scanned the surroundings, searching for possible allies or potential threats. In this volatile secret realm, every decision was a matter of life and death. At this moment, they must remain vigilant and prepared to respond to any crisis.

"Why don't you wait until your injury gets better? We don't know how many dangers there will be along the way." Zhao Xiaohai said with a frown, looking at Wu Ming's wound.

"Why, have you been in danger these days?" Wu Ming asked curiously.

"Of course I did. Let me tell you, you are lucky to have met a cultivator from the Netherworld Sect. You may not know that I met a monster yesterday, and it was so powerful!" Zhao Xiaohai said with lingering fear.

Wu Ming looked at Zhao Xiaohai's expression and couldn't help asking, "How strong can it be?"

Zhao Xiaohai swallowed his saliva and continued, "At that time, I saw a ninth-level Qi Refining disciple of the Lin family fighting the monster. I saw the Lin family cultivator exerting all his strength and slashing his flying sword at the monster. But who would have thought that the flying sword couldn't even break the monster's defense! Then, the monster swung its claws fiercely and smashed the Lin family cultivator into a pulp on the spot!"
