Chapter Index

    Purple Secrets Realm.

    “Ah, Fellow Daoist, spare me!”

    “Fellow Daoist, what have we done to offend you?”

    “Let us go, we’ll give you all our things!”

    In a dense forest, desperate cries echoed.

    Several cultivators were frantically fleeing.

    Behind them, a man riding a giant wolf was calmly chasing, occasionally launching fireballs and wind blades.

    But these fireballs and wind blades were clearly just toying with them.

    The real threat came from above!

    In the sky above the forest, a massive golden-crowned black-feathered eagle hovered.

    On the eagle’s back stood a man and a woman.

    The man was tall with a rugged, fierce face, holding a black-gold bow aimed at the fleeing rogue cultivators below.

    With a slight pull of the bowstring, a blood-red arrow shot out, killing one of the rogue cultivators below.

    The blood arrow seemed to have a demonic nature; after killing its target, the arrow’s crimson glow became even more terrifying and then returned to the burly man’s hand.

    “Senior Brother Tuoba’s Blood Feather Arrow is becoming more formidable. In this Purple Secrets Realm, there’s probably no one who can withstand a single shot from him.”

    The beautiful woman next to him said, her eyes full of admiration, almost dripping with affection.

    “Those lunatics from the Heavenly Sword Sect and that kid called Lu Qingshan, who was sent by a Golden Core expert, are not simple.”

    “Otherwise, why would I waste time here honing my arrows?”

    The tall man’s eyes, sharp and fierce like a hawk’s, glowed with a dark golden light.

    As he spoke, he lightly pulled the bowstring again, killing another person.

    “Tuoba Lie, you madman!”

    Only two people remained among the fleeing group, and one of them shouted angrily, clearly recognizing the man with the bow.

    He never expected to encounter the madman from the Spirit Control Sect in the secret realm.

    “Spirit Control Sect, Tuoba Lie.”

    Lu Quanzhen, hidden by a large tree, watched the scene and looked at the eagle and the pair in the sky.

    Even with his keen eyes, he could tell that this Spirit Control Sect disciple named Tuoba Lie was extraordinary.

    He was far more dangerous than the Sunset Glow Sect disciple he had killed earlier.

    But this behavior reminded him of some rumors about the Spirit Control Sect.

    Although the Spirit Control Sect is a righteous sect, it borders the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range. Every disciple contracts beasts, hunts beasts, and spends long periods with them, making them more beast-like.

    This leads many Spirit Control Sect disciples to have a violent nature, acting tyrannically.

    They are even more reckless than the sword cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

    Seeing these three from the Spirit Control Sect slaughtering freely, taking pleasure in killing, he finally understood.

    However, despite this, he had no intention of intervening in the situation before him.

    After all, these three were clearly very strong.

    Unless he went all out, using Second-Tier talismans or puppets, he was no match for them.

    But if he had a contingency plan, these three Spirit Control Sect disciples likely had one too.

    So naturally, he wouldn’t take the risk.

    However, after Tuoba Lie shot dead the cultivator who had just cursed at him, his dark golden eyes suddenly glanced in Lu Quanzhen’s direction.

    “Hmm? There’s another one hiding here.”

    He stared for a moment, then sneered and fully drew his bowstring, shooting towards Lu Quanzhen’s location.

    “Whoosh——”

    The blood arrow streaked through the air, heading straight for Lu Quanzhen.

    “Courting death!”

    Lu Quanzhen immediately felt a powerful force locking onto him, and his eyes turned cold.

    With a wave of his hand, a five-colored fish shot out from his palm.

    “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

    The five-colored fish collided with the blood-red arrow, causing explosive waves of force.

    “As expected, not simple.”

    Lu Quanzhen’s eyes narrowed slightly. He formed hand seals, causing the five-colored fish to emit a powerful five-element glow, swallowing the blood-red arrow.

    But seeing the man on the wolf in the distance looking his way, Lu Quanzhen didn’t linger.

    He immediately performed the Divine Roc Technique, transforming into a shadow and swiftly flying away.

    “Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

    The blood-red arrow, after devouring the fish, broke free and returned to Tuoba Lie’s hand.

    “Which clan does this person belong to?”

    Tuoba Lie, standing on the eagle’s back, narrowed his eyes, sensing that his blood arrow had been slightly weakened by the opponent.

    “Judging by his attire, he’s not from any of our sects.”

    The beautiful woman beside him spoke, her face full of surprise.

    She didn’t expect someone other than the geniuses from the other three great sects to be able to block her senior brother’s arrow.

    “Interesting. Zhou Ba, don’t let him escape.”

    Tuoba Lie heard her, his eyes filled with ferocity, as he looked at the fleeing Lu Quanzhen like prey and grinned.

    He placed another blood-red arrow on his bowstring, locking onto Lu Quanzhen.

    The man below, riding the giant wolf and collecting Storage Bags, heard his senior brother’s words and immediately looked in Lu Quanzhen’s direction, patting his wolf.

    “Roar!”

    The giant wolf roared, creating a gust of wind as it charged towards Lu Quanzhen.

    “You won’t give up, huh?”

    Lu Quanzhen, flying through the air, glanced coldly at the golden-crowned black-feathered eagle above.

    If it were one-on-one, he was confident he could kill the other.

    But with all three of them, it would be very difficult to get close enough to kill Tuoba Lie.

    Aside from using Second-Tier puppets and talismans, he couldn’t think of a way to kill them.

    But if he used a Second-Tier talisman, he would have to ensure all three were killed together!

    Otherwise, if even one escaped, it would be trouble if they regrouped with other Spirit Control Sect disciples later.

    Just as Lu Quanzhen was considering using a talisman to escape, he suddenly realized he wasn’t far from Lu Ping’an.

    He couldn’t guarantee killing all three alone.

    But Lu Ping’an also had Second-Tier talismans.

    As long as Lu Ping’an and he attacked together, he was confident they could kill all three!

    Immediately, Lu Quanzhen’s eyes narrowed with killing intent as he infused spiritual power into his Identity Token, calling for Lu Ping’an’s aid.

    Then he flew in the direction of Lu Ping’an.

    He also held two Second-Tier talismans in his hand, waiting for the right moment.

    “Roar!”

    The giant wolf’s speed was incredible, relentlessly pursuing Lu Quanzhen.

    The golden-crowned black-feathered eagle in the sky was also locked onto Lu Quanzhen.

    At this moment.

    In the distance, Lu Ping’an was searching for spiritual herbs with Old Daoist Kong and his grandson.

    It must be said that the old man’s detection methods were quite effective; along the way, Lu Ping’an had gained much.

    Although they encountered two demonic beasts, Lu Ping’an easily dealt with them.

    At that moment, a token appeared in Lu Ping’an’s hand.

    Seeing the token trembling with a red glow, his face instantly darkened, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes.

    “I have something to do, I need to go ahead!”

    Lu Ping’an said to Old Daoist Kong and his grandson.

    As soon as he finished speaking, he shot off like a bullet, creating a strong gust of wind that whipped the duo’s robes.

    “Did something happen to Friend An?”

    Little Kong looked at the rapidly disappearing Lu Ping’an, his expression stunned.

    “He just had a token in his hand; it must be a signal token. It seems a friend of his is in trouble.”

    “Let’s follow and see. Friend An is no ordinary person. If you can make friends with him, there will be many benefits in the future.”

    Old Daoist Kong said immediately.

    He had accompanied Lu Ping’an, not just because of Lu Ping’an’s combat strength.

    But mainly because he admired Lu Ping’an’s kind nature and hoped his grandson could befriend him.

    After all, as a rogue cultivator, he knew how difficult their lives were.

    He hoped his grandson could join a faction and follow someone like Lu Ping’an.

    “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

    Lu Ping’an was deeply concerned about Lu Quanzhen’s safety and used a Swift Talisman, pushing his speed to the limit, making him almost untraceable.

    If not for his Fifth Layer Hundred Refined Body Technique, most Qi Refining cultivators wouldn’t be able to withstand such speed.

    “Hmm!?”

    Before long, Lu Ping’an sensed the signal from the token ahead.

    He saw a golden-crowned black-feathered eagle circling above, with two figures on its back.

    One was holding a bow, shooting at the ground as if hunting.

    “You! Courting death!”

    Lu Ping’an immediately understood what was happening. He looked at the figures on the eagle and roared in fury, his voice like thunder from the heavens.

    Lu Ping’an usually avoided conflict and rarely harbored killing intent.

    But at this moment, seeing someone hunting his brother like prey, a surge of murderous rage filled his heart!

    Die!

    Lu Ping’an stepped forward, his entire body like a wild dragon, soaring into the sky, his massive body tearing through the air.

    Boom! Boom! Boom——

    His towering and mighty figure was like a great dragon, muscles bulging, his body seemed to grow bigger, and endless radiant light flowed through his body.

    “Hmm?”

    When Tuoba Lie saw Lu Ping’an appear, his hair stood on end, sensing an intense danger.

    But the next moment, a cruel smile appeared on his face as he shouted, “Good, good, good! It seems the Purple Secrets Realm is really interesting, providing so much fun!”

    As he spoke, a black-golden arrow appeared in his hand, aimed at Lu Ping’an.

    The beautiful woman beside him was no mere decoration.

    Seeing this, she knew Lu Ping’an was a body cultivator trying to get close.

    She immediately formed hand seals, summoning a red umbrella that hovered in the air, while holding a Magic Pearl in her hand.

    “Swoosh!”

    The black-golden arrow emitted a dazzling light, accompanied by wind and thunder as it shot towards Lu Ping’an’s forehead, aiming to kill him in one strike.

    “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

    Lu Ping’an drew his right fist back, gathering all his strength and all the surrounding air into his fist.

    A massive black giant axe appeared behind him, towering between heaven and earth.

    “Mountain Splitter!”

    He threw a punch, and the giant axe slashed down, unleashing a wild and ferocious force that destroyed everything in its path.

    “Danger! Danger! Danger!”

    At this moment, Tuoba Lie’s mind screamed with alarm, feeling an unprecedented sense of death and oppression enveloping him.

    Not just him, but the beautiful female cultivator beside him and the golden-crowned black-feathered eagle were all terrified, enveloped by a cloud of death.

    They couldn’t understand what was happening.

    Isn’t this secret realm only for Qi Refining cultivators?

    How can someone with such power be a Qi Refining cultivator!?

    But there was no time to think; the divine fist had already shattered the black-golden arrow and was now coming for them.

    “Boom! Boom! Boom!”

    The red umbrella, protective pearl, protective robe, and protective shield were all destroyed by the force of the punch.

    It perfectly demonstrated what it means to break all techniques with brute force!

    In that moment, both the cultivators and the eagle exploded into pieces, raining blood everywhere.

    “This…”

    Lu Quanzhen stared at the sky, stunned and a bit confused.

    He hadn’t even had time to signal how to attack, and Lu Ping’an had already acted.

    Moreover, his brother seemed a bit too fierce!

    Even he felt a bit of fear in the face of that sudden ferocity.

    Lu Quanzhen didn’t think much further; his expression turned cold as he looked at the wolf-riding man behind him, filled with killing intent, and said, “You’ve chased me long enough, let’s see what you’ve got!”

    “This is impossible!”

    The man chasing Lu Quanzhen turned pale as he saw the scene in the sky.

    He never imagined that his Senior Brother Tuoba would be killed with a single punch!

    It was known that Senior Brother Tuoba was a prominent figure in the Spirit Control Sect, with incredible combat strength.

    But now, he was killed with one punch!

    And along with him, Junior Sister Yang and the golden-crowned black-feathered eagle!

    His face turned deathly pale, full of shock. Seeing Lu Quanzhen coming at him, he was terrified and tried to flee.

    But at this moment, the giant wolf he was riding was still shaken by the earlier display of power.

    “Go!”

    He quickly pulled out a talisman from his Storage Bag, trying to escape with it.

    But Lu Quanzhen’s attack had already arrived. The Kunpeng Five Elements Technique surged like a tidal wave, and the Thunder Fire Talisman in his hand activated in an instant.

    “Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

    Rolling thunder and fire engulfed Zhou Ba and his giant wolf, consuming them in an instant.

    “Quanzhen, are you alright?”

    At this moment, Lu Ping’an arrived beside Lu Quanzhen and asked.

    He hadn’t held back with that punch, using all his strength, causing his blood and energy to surge, leaving his face a bit pale.

    “I’m fine.”

    Lu Quanzhen felt a warmth in his heart.

    He explained that he had been relentlessly pursued by those three and couldn’t handle it alone, so he called for help, but he was fine now.

    “As long as you’re okay.”

    Lu Ping’an responded with a smile.

    “I didn’t expect your strength to be so amazing, big brother.”

    Lu Quanzhen praised.

    He felt that Lu Ping’an’s current combat strength could probably match Lu Qingshan.

    But he could see that the punch had come at a cost for Lu Ping’an.

    “It’s alright. I’ve never really tested my strength before, never gone all out.”

    Lu Ping’an shook his head and said.

    After breaking through to the Fifth Layer of the Hundred Refined Body Technique, he had only killed a few rogue cultivators.

    Then, on the way to the Purple Secrets Realm, he killed a few Qi Refining tribulation cultivators.

    So he wasn’t entirely sure of his combat strength.

    He only knew that he wasn’t weaker than those at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining.

    “These guys seem to be quite wealthy. This trip has been quite rewarding.”

    Lu Quanzhen picked up the Storage Bags and Artifacts from the wolf-riding man’s tattered robe.

    The three of them had killed many cultivators, so they had over ten Storage Bags.

    He and Lu Ping’an then picked up the Artifacts and Storage Bags from Tuoba Lie and the female cultivator.

    Among the Artifacts, only the red umbrella was severely damaged by Lu Ping’an’s punch; the others were still in good condition.

    Lu Quanzhen handed the Storage Bags to Lu Ping’an and then picked up Tuoba Lie’s black-gold bow to examine it.

    He could tell that this was a Top-Tier Artifact.

    “Brother, this bow is nice. I think it suits you.”

    Lu Quanzhen handed the black-gold bow to Lu Ping’an and said.

    Bows like this required not only Spiritual Energy but also physical strength.

    “It’s pretty good, but my archery skills are average; I haven’t practiced in a long time.”

    Lu Ping’an took the bow and tried drawing it to a full moon.

    “Brother, let’s find a place to rest first.”

    “Once we’re ready, we’ll head straight to the central area.”

    Lu Quanzhen suggested.

    He originally planned to train in the outer area.

    But after several battles, he had a general idea of his strength.

    Knowing that there was no point in staying in the outer area, he decided to head straight to the central area.

    “Alright.”

    Lu Ping’an nodded in agreement.

    “Hmm?”

    At that moment, Lu Quanzhen’s eyes turned cold as he looked to the side.

    He saw an old Daoist and a young man cautiously approaching.

    He raised his hand, ready to strike.

    “Quanzhen, they’re friends I met on the way.”

    Lu Ping’an quickly called out.

    “Friend An, I saw you in such a hurry earlier, so I followed, thinking I could help out.”

    Old Daoist Kong immediately spoke.

    He had sensed the commotion earlier.

    Seeing the ashes and Artifacts on the ground, he roughly guessed what had happened and feared they might kill him to silence him.

    After all, Lu Ping’an seemed like a kind and gentle person.

    But Lu Quanzhen was different.

    He had clearly felt a murderous intent from Lu Quanzhen earlier.

    “Friend Kong, Little Friend Kong, I’m heading to the central area of the secret realm next, so I won’t be able to accompany you any longer. I apologize.”

    Lu Ping’an said apologetically.

    “No problem, no problem. We’ve already benefited a lot from traveling with you.”

    “Since that’s the case, take care on your journey, Friend An.”

    Old Daoist Kong cupped his hands in farewell.

    “Take care, Friend An!”

    Little Kong also said, feeling a bit disappointed.

    After all, traveling with Lu Ping’an was not only safe but also rewarding.

    “Brother, let’s go.”

    Lu Quanzhen didn’t say much more. He put away their belongings and left with Lu Ping’an.

    The two found a secluded place, set up a formation, and let Lu Ping’an adjust his condition before heading to the central area.

    “Sigh, such a dragon is beyond the reach of rogue cultivators like us. Just knowing him was already a stroke of luck.”

    Old Daoist Kong sighed as he watched them leave, feeling regretful.

    He had hoped to form a connection with Lu Ping’an and help his grandson.

    But now he knew they were not worthy.

    Unless they had significant strength and dared to follow him into the central area and come out alive.

    “Grandfather, don’t worry. I will definitely break through to Foundation Establishment in the future and won’t let you down.”

    Little Kong took a deep breath and said seriously.

    He knew his grandfather was still pushing himself at this age because of him.

    Otherwise, he could have easily found a small family to serve as a guest elder and enjoyed his retirement.
