Jiang Heng, as the senior brother of the new generation of disciples of Tianhua Sect, he has carried too much pressure, even if he is talented, he is now exhausted, and the hatred of the country and the family is whipping this young man all the time, as the orphan of the previous dynasty, he is burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, once his true identity is discovered by the Danyang Empire, he will also face endless pursuit.

Jiang Bingkun will definitely not tolerate his existence, if it weren't for Tianhua Sect's transformation for him over the years, he would not be able to move an inch in this world, and now his revenge plan has just begun, and it is foreseeable that a burning empire is brewing.

Standing on the top of the mountain, he is like a lonely wolf, looking down on the former land, at this moment his heart is as strong as steel, sooner or later he will take back everything that belongs to him.

After suffering several big losses, the Danyang Empire finally sent an elite killer group to arrive, many of them lurked in the convoy transporting supplies and waited for the arrival of these people, Jiang Heng suffered a lot of casualties in several actions, as the person in charge, he took rash actions several times, and the result was unfavorable, and he was also questioned a lot, and he was too eager for quick success and quick profit, which led to huge losses for them.

If it weren't for Uncle Li Dufeng's timely rescue in several actions, they would have almost been wiped out, and he would not have escaped his responsibility as a senior disciple. But he didn't stop because of the momentary defeat, and he was still planning one action after another.

Many of the brothers who followed him also had some complaints in their hearts, but out of respect for him, they kept it in their hearts until a serious defeat and the loss of several teammates, and finally someone stood up against his plan of action.

"Senior Brother Jiang, the enemy has already sensed our intentions this time, why do you insist on carrying out this operation? Our losses this time are huge," some people were quite dissatisfied with this action.

"I don't want to give up any action to stop them, even in the face of difficulties," Jiang Heng said.

"But the price is too expensive, we can wait for them to let their guard down and act, this time I can't explain the dead and injured brothers to the sect when I go back," someone shouted.

"Are you afraid?" Jiang Heng looked at them angrily.

"Afraid, if you're afraid of why we're here with you, you just don't want to sacrifice in vain, it's worthless."

Seeing that the senior brothers were out of control, Jiang Heng felt a little isolated for a while, but he also realized that there was a big problem on his side at this moment.

"Senior brother, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but they deliberately set a trap to wait for us to come forward and throw themselves into the net, there is no need to make sacrifices in vain, we have opportunities in the future, not every brother here has the same skills as you, your actions have caused huge losses recently, we need to wait for the arrival of backup", a disciple stepped forward to persuade.

Jiang Heng saw everyone's depressed mood, so he could only postpone the next raid and lurk and wait for backup to arrive.

Li Dufeng also felt that his actions were too aggressive, lacked a complete support plan, and were easy to fall into the trap of the enemy, and his experience in the rivers and lakes was still not enough.

This is not only the case here, but also in all the surrounding places, at first the Danyang Empire was not well prepared, they easily succeeded, and when they arrived at the back, they kicked the iron plate, and many raids ended in failure, losing a lot of manpower.

In the main hall of Tianhua Sect, Dai Tiande had already received the news from the front line, and the situation was not optimistic, but he did not reprimand Jiang Heng too much for his repeated defeats, after all, his experience was still shallow, and it was inevitable to encounter setbacks.

After Dai Tiande and many elders agreed, he decided to wait until the end of the Great Secret Realm before sending the fourth batch of disciples to support.

The great secret realm of Tianhua Sect is located in the back mountain of Tianhua Sect, which was opened by a strong man of the sect thousands of years ago, and it is rumored that this place is a space of its own, there is a huge array pattern in it, it can continue to gather and fill the aura, which is very suitable for cultivation, and many special array spirits were born in it, these array spirits are formed by the essence of aura, and the disciples who enter can have killed them to absorb their aura, so as to quickly improve their strength.

The more powerful the array essence inside, the more refined it is, but they also possess strong strength, and it is not easy to defeat them.

There are also some secret places suitable for cultivation in the Great Secret Realm, and the unique spiritual materials of these places are very beneficial for cultivation.

This great secret realm has to wait for a year to open again every time, and the opportunity is rare, and all the disciples of the Tianhua Sect are looking forward to it.

Finally, a few days later, there was a huge movement from the back mountain of Tianhua Sect, and a large area of glow came from the back mountain, which was a sign of the decline of the seal of the Great Secret Realm, and countless disciples of Tianhua Sect felt the changes from the back mountain.

"Could it be that the Great Secret Realm has opened?" someone excitedly ran to the square to check.

"It's finally here after waiting so long".

Soon, a special waiting disciple went to the main hall to report to the master: "Tell the master, the seal of the Great Secret Realm of the Houshan has weakened, and a large area of sunshine has emerged."

"Is it finally open? You go and inform Dai Mengli and Lin Zixu, and ask the two of them to quickly organize all the disciples to go to the back mountain," Dai Tiande said.

"Yes".

Soon, Dai Mengli and Lin Zixu sent a message to the disciples of the Ten Peaks to go to the back mountain to participate in this great secret realm expedition.

Shi Xuan and the others passed the news, and all the disciples put down the things in their hands and marched towards the back mountain one after another.

"I heard that the array spirits in the Great Secret Realm can greatly improve our strength?" Zhao Zhuo said excitedly.

"How can there be a free lunch in the world, if you want to gain something in it, it depends on your strength, those array spirits are not lambs to be slaughtered, in previous years, there were disciples who died here", Du Qifeng warned all the disciples who participated for the first time.

"It seems that our brothers are going to help each other, and the harvest will be greater if we are united", Shi Xuan said to Zhao Zhuo and the others.

"When the time comes, all listen to Senior Brother Shi Xuan, you can eat meat and we can drink some soup", and several people immediately agreed to form a group together.

"Don't worry, if you have my share, yours will have it, and it is never realistic to fight against the powerful array spirit alone," Shi Xuan said.

The back mountain was already crowded, and many of the older senior brothers were maintaining order, and they were already familiar with this great secret realm, not as excited as these first-year disciples.

Dai Mengli and Lin Zixu had already arrived here, and at this moment, some elders of the sect had also come to join forces to open the seal.

Between the two peaks, a huge light curtain barrier blocked the way, and at this moment, the seal was weakening, and a large glow emanated from it.

"What kind of powerhouse does this have to be to open up such a huge space secret realm?"

"I heard that it was a sage of our Tianhua Sect thousands of years ago, this person is extremely powerful and famous on the mainland, it was he who discovered such a big secret realm in other places, he guarded this place through a powerful formation, and has benefited countless generations of Tianhua Sect disciples for thousands of years", someone obviously knows a lot.

"A few elders join forces, it is estimated that it will not be long before the seal can be opened, and Senior Brother Su Cheng will have to take care of him at that time", several disciples with good strength took the initiative to find Su Cheng and wanted to join forces with him.

"You're welcome, we will naturally have a greater harvest when we join forces", Su Cheng did not refuse.

This year's top ten disciples have basically attracted a lot of followers, and everyone knows that the team has a greater harvest, and no one wants to hunt the powerful array spirit alone.

"All the disciples are ready to enter the Great Secret Realm, there are many rookie disciples this year, you must carefully choose the array spirits you encounter inside, it is best to form a team to fight, otherwise you will suffer hardship. In previous years, there were some guys who didn't know the height of the sky, and they gave their lives in vain, hoping that you would do it yourself, within the Great Secret Realm, the disciples of this sect must not attack each other, otherwise it will be dealt with according to the betrayal of the master, there is no shortage of powerful array spirits inside, be careful", Lin Zixu stood on the high platform and warned loudly.

Soon, several elders successfully opened the enchantment of the Great Secret Realm, and a large piece of glow burst out, and the aura inside rushed to the face.

"A good and pure aura is worthy of the space opened up by the strong."

Many disciples have stepped into the Great Secret Realm, which has become a small world independently, its boundary is isolated by the Spirit Array, although it is a secret realm, it is very huge, the roads inside extend in all directions, and each team chooses a different path backwards to move forward.

There is a huge formation interference in the Great Secret Realm, even some powerful Heavenly Vein Realm powerhouses cannot fly, the lead clouds above the sky make up for it, sometimes the sky is thundering, and the surroundings are covered by chaotic mist, and everyone does not dare to break in carelessly.

Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo and their party walked slowly in this mysterious place, Shi Xuan clearly felt the magic of these mist, it could hinder the spread of spiritual power, and it was difficult to detect danger with spiritual power.

All the disciples who entered the secret realm had long since dispersed, and every path led to various places, and the thick mist cut off the sight.

"What voices are you listening to in front of you?" Shi Xuan whispered.

Everyone began to be on guard, and they all showed their spiritual weapons to prepare for battle, and just between the towering rocks in front of them, a tall array spirit was wandering, its whole body exuding a rich aura, and everyone was stunned.

"His aura can improve us a lot, but it doesn't seem to be easy to deal with?" someone looked at such a huge array spirit.

"It's not bad, I'm ready to make a move", after Shi Xuan observed it, he estimated that this array of spirits had reached the peak strength of the third order, and their team was qualified to deal with it.

Shi Xuan's bow and arrows were taken down, and there were several arrows in a row against it.

The Array Spirit was attacked, and it slashed at the crowd in a rage, and it picked up a large boulder with its bare hands and struck at the crowd.

Several people hurriedly dispersed to avoid the blow of the boulder, and with a few bangs, several large pits were smashed on the ground, and mud splashed.

"Shoot with all your might, I'll attract his frontal fire." Shi Xuan collected his bow and arrows, and Xue Liang's broadsword was drawn and slashed towards him.

Zhao Zhuo and his party launched a furious attack one after another, and the colorful aura skills were very good-looking, and soon this huge array spirit was defeated and retreated under their siege, and finally died tragically.

The aura of the whole body of the fallen array spirit began to overflow and scatter, Shi Xuan and they didn't dare to waste all of them to surround it, and they ran the exercises to absorb the majestic aura, until its aura was all dispersed, and everyone listened to it unsatisfied.

"This beast is really peculiar, this is a third-order peak array spirit that has made a team improve greatly, if the fourth-order estimate is even more", Zhao Zhuo felt the aura feast.

Shi Xuan split the remnants of the array spirit with a few knives and took out a spirit core, this was a good material for spirit forging, and he didn't want to waste it.

"It seems that the third-order array spirit is not a big threat to us, we can try to find the fourth-order array spirit", Shi Xuan also felt it.

They are all powerful Ning Yuan Realm powerhouses, and they can work closely together even if they encounter powerful characters.

Along the rugged mountain road, they carefully explored all the way, and also encountered a few array spirits, but the grade was not very high, but it was better than nothing, Shi Xuan also successfully broke through to the second order of the Ning Yuan Realm, and the abundant spiritual energy continued to pass through the central acupoint to the whole body, and his strength improved again.

Several people in the group have successfully advanced to the first level, which can be regarded as a lot of gains, which is equivalent to two months of penance in the outside world.

"Let's move on, only the core area can encounter high-quality array spirits", Shi Xuan after they finished absorbing a formation spirit.

They walked out of the mountains and encountered a huge lake, in which a lot of spiritual materials grew, but there were several array spirits in the water to protect it, and it was not easy to collect it.

"There are a total of eight array spirits, it is indeed not easy to deal with them, but if we are on land, we still have a chance, but in the water, the power of Zhao Zhuo's fire spirit technique of me and Zhao Zhuo has plummeted, and it is difficult to deal with it", Shi Xuan looked at these array spirits in the water.

"Although there are water spirit masters in our team, but the strength is not enough, let's go ahead and find other opportunities, right?" Zhao Zhuo was about to give up.

If they are in the water, it will be difficult for their main forces to exert their due strength. Just as they were about to walk away, several figures burst into their sight.

This is a delicate girl, and her four teammates, "Isn't that the top five senior sister Zhong Ling this year?, I heard that she is a powerful water spirit master, maybe we can cooperate" Zhao Zhuo said.

Zhao Zhuo beckoned to Zhong Ling and the others, and Zhong Ling and the others also spotted Shi Xuan and the others, and they walked over.

"It turned out to be the two senior brothers of the Spirit Forging Hall, I didn't expect to meet you here?" Zhong Ling's voice was crisp and pleasant, the five of them were all disciples of Master Xie Xiyun of Luoxia Peak, and the five of them were all beautiful female disciples, the disciples of Chaoxia Peak were very popular in the sect, and the female disciples here were the most among the major peaks.

"It turned out to be the five beauties of Luoxia Peak, fortunately", Zhao Zhuo's eyes didn't move, and several disciples in the other team disdained him for a while, and even a few beauties smiled.

"Senior Sister Zhong Ling, we have found some opportunities here, but unfortunately the water is not good, and we can't deal with the array spirits in the water, if you can lure them ashore, we may be able to make a lot of money", Shi Xuan said to Zhong Ling.

"I heard that Senior Brother Shi Xuan is this year's specially recruited disciple, and he has broken the record of Tianhua Sect for many years, it is also our honor to be able to do it with Senior Brother Shi", Zhong Ling said with a smile.

"This time, all the harvest is divided equally, and the work in the water depends on Senior Sister Zhong Ling," Shi Xuan said.

Zhong Ling nodded, she was probably the strongest water spirit master among all the rookie disciples, and it would be much safer to have her out.

Shi Xuan also sent the water spirit masters in his team to assist her in entering the lake to attract firepower, while the remaining dozen spirit masters were on the shore to meet them.

Everyone was prepared and did not dare to be careless, although there were many people, but it was difficult for them to exert their strength in the waters.

Zhong Ling and another spirit master quickly entered the lake, their water system spirit skills directly cut off a road, the lake water was difficult to get close, and soon came to the center of the lake, Zhong Ling began to use a powerful water system spirit technique, and a strong whirlpool killed the array spirit guarding the spirit material in the distance, disturbed by her, these spirit beasts swam towards her two frantically.

The water spirit master who assisted her summoned walls of water to slow down the speed of these formations and buy her time to return to land.

Seeing that she had successfully attracted all the array spirits, Zhong Ling began to return with all her might, her strange spirit magic summoned a huge fish-shaped water spirit, she rode on the body of the fish spirit and carried the two of them to the shore at a rapid speed, and the array spirit behind them rolled up a stormy wave, trying to sweep them to the bottom of the lake.

Shi Xuan on the shore pinched a sweat for her in his heart, the speed of the two of them was already extremely fast, but the huge terrifying waves disrupted their route at once, although Zhong Ling and the others were not confused, her staff lit up, and a terrifying spiritual power split a route, and the water spirit swam quickly along the route opened up again, and the spirit master who assisted her cast various spiritual spells from time to time to interfere with the several formations of spirits chasing behind her.

Seeing the two of them landing, Shi Xuan took off his bow and arrows and shot towards several array spirits behind him, and several other people also played a few powerful spiritual skills to finally block their pursuit.

The two of them quickly went ashore to defend, and eight surging array spirits.

"Leave it to us," Shi Xuan said as he looked at the two who had returned safely.

Several of them quickly formed a formation to surround the eight array spirits in the center, and began to encircle and kill, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo launched a terrifying fire spirit technique attack, on the land, their power was domineering and terrifying, the sea of fire in the sky drowned the array spirits, the fire meteors summoned by Shi Xuan could only be described as destroying the world, and one by one the fire meteors the size of watermelons fell from the sky, launching a crazy blow to these array spirits.

Zhao Zhuo was not far behind, his flame whirlwind continued to shuttle and kill, the power was amazing, and the others also launched strong spiritual skills, the array spirit suffered heavy losses, a few wanted to get back to the lake, others would not give them a chance, many powerful control skills pulled them into a large sea of fire.

Shi Xuan's exercises were urged to the extreme, and the terrifying heat wave made several people around them feel pressure, so they could only retreat and cast their spiritual skills far away.

Soon, these array spirits could not withstand the blow, and one by one they fell, and their strength on land was greatly weakened.

Seeing that all the array spirits fell, Zhong Ling made a move towards the lake, and a large wave of water extinguished the sea of fire, and suddenly the aura overflowed, and everyone frantically absorbed the rich aura.

"The fire spirit skills of the two senior brothers are really powerful and domineering, even we don't dare to approach the side, and they all say that the fire spirit masters' attacks are domineering and terrifying, and they are worthy of their fame today", a few people still have lingering fears about the two of them's domineering fire spirit arts.

"The elements of the world are mutually reinforcing, each with its own characteristics, we don't dare to fight with Senior Sister Zhong Ling in the waters," Zhao Zhuo said.

"Although water can overcome fire, but on land, the combat ability of our water spirit masters is far inferior to Shi Xuan and Senior Brother Zhao Zhuo, even if they are of the same level, it is difficult to defeat", Zhong Ling said helplessly.

"Actually, as disciples of the same sect, most of our future battles will be teamwork, only by learning from each other's strengths can we exert the greatest power, any powerful spirit master has huge flaws", Shi Xuan said, and the others also nodded, it is true.

"There are a lot of cherished spiritual materials in the lake, and they will all be taken out and divided equally," Zhao Zhuo said happily.

"I wonder if a few senior brothers have ever known about the Crown of Disillusionment in this secret realm?" Zhong Ling said suddenly.

"Crown of Disillusionment, what is this?" Shi Xuan didn't understand.

"We met Yun Yixuan and their team before, and heard some legends from them, it is said that there is a mysterious secret place in this secret realm, and the person buried here is the strong man of our Tianhua Sect who opened up this secret realm, and he left one of his spiritual weapons in the secret place, the Crown of Disillusionment, many years ago, someone successfully found this ruin here, and got the blessing of the Crown of Disillusionment, and since then his strength has increased greatly", Zhong Ling said a secret story.

"Has anyone else found this relic over the years?" Shi Xuan asked.

"No, according to rumors, no one has found it for a long time, it seems that this ruin can only be opened by chance by fate, and if there is no chance, you can't find it even if you go through the entire secret realm," Zhong Ling said.

"You managed to give us a big pie, but it was too illusory," Zhao Zhuo said.

"Who can say for sure that such a thing as chance can be found if you go out of here and fall casually?" someone said.

Shi Xuan also shook his head, after all, no one has gotten it for many years, so he can only say that he should pay more attention to it, and it is not realistic to want to look for it specifically.

"You're not familiar enough with the water, so I'm going to collect spiritual materials, right?" Zhong Ling said.

"There is Senior Sister Lao Zhongling," Shi Xuan said.

Zhong Ling smiled and swam into the lake on the big fish she had summoned...

This time, everyone's harvest was not small, and the spiritual materials were also divided, so they decided to continue to explore the stronger array spirits.

Along the way, the fog deepened, and everyone moved slowly to prevent a sudden attack.

Along the way, they met a few more teams, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot from their situation, but Shi Xuan had no intention of joining them, acting separately, and the opportunity here was all up to luck, their team was already strong enough, and the lineup was perfect, and there was no intention of expanding the team.

After walking for a long time, they suddenly spotted a team, and their sneaky figures attracted Shi Xuan's attention, "Isn't that Shen Rong and them, what are they doing sneaky?" Shi Xuan said.

"Let's go ahead and have a look," Zhao said.

"Did they find something precious and didn't want anyone else to find out?"

Shi Xuan and his party followed cautiously, and after walking for a while, they found Shen Rong and the others hiding at the door of a cave to observe something.

"You stay here, the three of us went to investigate and wait for news from us," Shi Xuan said to the others.

Shi Xuan, Zhao Zhuo, and Zhong Ling were the strongest and had quite prestige in the team, while the others hid behind and waited.

Shen Rong and the others entered the cave after observing for a while, and Shi Xuan and the three of them came to the door of the cave to investigate.
