Chapter 405

Chapter 405: v*olence

“This secret realm possesses all five elements, and its space is so vast. Spiritual essence must be plentiful, and it might even harbor high-level treasures and spiritual artifacts!”

The white-robed young man, sensing the secret realm’s situation, was instantly overjoyed.

He immediately began searching the secret realm.

Quickly, based on the terrain and the flow of spiritual energy, he determined the direction where the spiritual energy of this secret realm was most concentrated. He

immediately unleashed his escaping light and flew in that direction.

In his haste, he didn’t even bother to pay attention to the ants exploring the secret realm.

Such a conspicuous escaping light, of course, couldn’t be hidden from the powerful within.

Upon sensing its power, everyone’s faces changed drastically.

“What is that?!”

“To be able to fly in the sky, one must be at or above the Foundation Establishment stage!”

“That escaping light! Are those two monsters from Zhongzhou coming?”

“Hide!”

“Run!”

…

Upon seeing the escaping light, the powerful within the secret realm were shocked, their reactions varied.

Some knowledgeable and well-informed individuals, upon seeing the escaping light, immediately connected it to recent news.

Frightened, they abandoned their exploration of the secret realm and desperately fled towards its entrance.

Others, unable to discern the source of the escaping light, continued their search for spiritual objects, hoping for a lucky break.

Some even, more resourceful, imagined they had encountered some senior expert and used their agility to pursue him, hoping to establish a close acquaintance and perhaps gain some opportunity.

The white-robed young man’s escaping light was incredibly swift, and soon he reached the location he had deduced as the most concentrated spiritual energy within the secret realm.

However, upon landing and seeing the devastation before him, a look of immense shock and anger crossed his face.

“Which ant dares to touch my things?!”

Looking at the spiritual treasures, their stones and soil dug up and completely destroyed, the white-robed young man felt a surge of rage burning within him.

Judging from the lingering spiritual energy here, he was certain it must have once condensed a significant amount of the Five Elements’ essence, perhaps even harboring some extremely high-grade elixir!

“Who on earth is this!”

The enraged white-robed youth instantly soared into mid-air. Powerful spiritual energy surged from the acupoint between his eyebrows, sweeping in all directions.

In an instant, it enveloped an area of dozens of miles.

Within this radius, he could sense no movement.

Soon, his gaze focused, sensing several figures hiding in the dense forest nearby.

His body instantly transformed into a stream of light and flew in that direction.

A few breaths later, he arrived at their hiding place.

As he stared in horror, he manifested a magical palm and grasped them, along with the flowers, plants, and trees, engulfing them in his grasp.

“Ah!”

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare us!”

“We meant no offense, Your Majesty, please forgive us!”

Crushed by the magical palm, the men immediately vomited blood, severely injured.

Their innate bodies, forged through countless trials and tribulations, now seemed as fragile as eggs, completely useless.

Terrified, they pleaded.

“Shut up, ants!”

The magical palm contracted slightly, squeezing the men to the point of suffocation, rendering them speechless.

The white-robed young man’s gaze was icy. These ants were so noisy; if he hadn’t been asking questions, he would have crushed them all.

“Ants, I ask you, who took the things from the Spiritual Charm Land?”

“Spiritual Charm Land?”

The men were stunned, some not understanding the white-robed man’s words.

But the next moment, one of them suddenly exploded, blood splattering all over those nearby.

“Answer me, ant.”

The sudden death of their companion left the others’ minds blank.

They hadn’t expected the white-robed figure before them to be so brutal, he hesitated for a moment before striking out.

Seeing the stunned expressions of the men, disgust crossed his face, and he attempted to crush them all.

After all, there were still plenty of ants in this secret realm; crushing them all would be enough to capture the rest.

The men trapped by the magical palm, upon seeing the white-robed young man’s expression, felt an overwhelming sense of mortal danger. Driven

by a powerful instinct for survival, one of them immediately cried out, “Your Excellency, spare me! I know who took what you’re talking about!”

The white-robed young man paused, glaring coldly at the man, “Are you telling the truth?”

“Absolutely. Your Excellency, you’re talking about the treasure in the mountain fifty miles to the east, right?”

The white-robed young man didn’t comment, simply saying, “Continue.”

But the man, knowing he’d guessed right, breathed a sigh of relief.

“Your Majesty, several of us have been to that mountain before, but by the time we got there, someone had already reached it and taken the treasure.”

“How dare you tease me?” the white-robed youth roared.

“Your Majesty, please calm down. That’s not what I meant!” the man shouted hurriedly. “What I meant was that we were among the first to enter this secret realm.

But even when we arrived at that mountain, the treasure had already been taken.

So the person who took the treasure could only be that person!”

“Who was it?” the white-robed youth asked patiently.

“It’s a mysterious man wearing a ghostly mask, piloting a golden flying boat!

When we first entered the secret realm, we saw him flying the golden boat towards the entrance.

He came from the mountain that the Supreme mentioned.

Therefore, the treasures on that mountain could only have been taken by that man!”

“So, you don’t know that man’s identity either?”

“I dare not lie to the Supreme. We truly do not know his exact identity. We

only know he has a grudge against the Xuankong Mountain secret area. A while ago, in Xizhou, he slaughtered many Xuankong Mountain disciples. He

single-handedly suppressed the entire Xuankong Mountain, forcing them to retreat to the secret area, afraid to come out.”

“If that’s the case, then what’s the point of keeping you here?” the white-robed young man said coldly.

Then, under the horrified gazes of the men, his magical palms suddenly closed.

After casually crushing a few ants to death, the white-robed young man’s expression didn’t improve, but instead grew even gloomier

. His mind had been focused on those ants, so he knew the other party was telling the truth.

But precisely because of this, he was even more furious.

Because according to what the ant said, the thief who took the treasure had already left the secret realm and must have already fled far away.

The world is so big, where can he find that thief?

Thinking of this, the anger in the white-robed young man’s heart became even stronger.

The remaining spiritual energy of that treasure land was very rich, and one could imagine how extraordinary the treasures it bred must be.

But it was taken away by an ant of unknown origin. How could he not be filled with murderous intent?

The few ants he had killed earlier not only failed to vent his murderous intent, but made it even stronger.

“No!”

Just as the white-robed young man was thinking about whether to go on a killing spree, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and calmed down.

“According to what that ant just said, they were among the first to enter the secret realm, yet they were still behind that little thief.

This means that the little thief entered the secret realm before them, and it’s even possible that he was the first to enter the secret realm!

Entering the secret realm so early means that the little thief had already sensed it as soon as it appeared.

In other words, it’s very likely that he was already living in seclusion near the secret realm!” The more

the white-robed young man thought about it, the brighter his eyes became.
