Chapter 966 The Hunt Begins 1
The first to fall was Wanqi Ye of the Wanqi family. Elder You asked with a displeased expression:

"Wei'er, what's going on?"

Wan Qiwei shook his head, clutching the shattered life tablet, and said:

"I do not know!"

Wan Qiyou frowned and said:

How did Ranxi protect them?

"Elder You, they've only been in the secret realm for three days; they probably haven't reunited yet."

Wan Qiyou looked at Wan Qiwei, who was explaining for Yunxi, and stroked his beautiful beard, saying:

"Didn't you give her the token? Didn't she perform a blood oath ceremony to bind it to her?"

Wan Qiwei did not respond. She did give the item to Ranxi, but the other party did not perform the blood oath ceremony in front of him, which proved that Ranxi was wary of the Wan Qi family.

The atmosphere inside the Dharma room was somewhat somber. Just then, a paper crane flew to Wan Qiyou's feet. He caught it, read its contents, and then stood up, saying:
"Wei'er, come with me."

After saying that, he flashed out of the magic room. Wan Qiwei didn't say anything, put away the shattered life tablet and followed closely behind.

A quarter of an hour later, the leaders of several families in Wanhao Immortal City gathered together, all with grim expressions. Upon seeing Wan Qiyou, one of them spoke up and asked:

"Elder You, how are your disciples who entered the secret realm?"

Wan Qiyou shook his head and said:

“One of our disciples has already perished, and the life tablet of another disciple is also very dim. Only the life tablets of the two female disciples are currently intact.”

Wan Qiwei, who was following behind, understood why Elder You had asked him to come along. He then took out the life tablets of Wan Qiye and Wan Qili. One of them was completely broken, proving that Wan Qiye had perished. The other life tablet also had cracks, indicating that the owner of the life tablet was seriously injured and it was hard to say whether he could save his life.

The other immortals who led the teams felt somewhat relieved when they saw that even the disciples of the Wanqi family had met with misfortune. However, what followed was even greater worry. They didn't know what had happened in the secret realm, and how could there have been so many casualties in just three days.

Wan Qiyou's gaze shifted, and she noticed that the leader of the Jin family was also there, and his face was the darkest. She asked:

"Elder Jin Min, how are your disciples who entered the secret realm doing?"

Jin Min, whose name was called, gave Wan Qiyou a deep look, then threw the five broken life cards onto the table:

"On the first day of entering the secret realm, two disciples of the Jin family perished, two more on the second day, and today is the third day. Even the guards we arranged have fallen. This time, all the disciples of the Jin family who entered the secret realm have been wiped out."

His words caused the leaders of the other families present to exchange glances, but no one responded.

Jin Hao looked around and then stood up and said:
"If any of you make any discoveries, please remember to inform the Jin family. I am going to inform the elders of the fallen disciples now; we must give them an explanation."

Without waiting for anyone's response, he left the temporary shrine on his own.

Only after Jin Hao left did someone speak up:

"Didn't we agree this time not to attack the Jin family disciples?"

Another female voice responded: "Yes! I instructed the guards to avoid contact with the Jin family disciples as much as possible. The Jin family has had a series of misfortunes in recent years, and they have probably suspected us for a long time. They have been holding back because they have no evidence and because they cannot fight against all of our families at the same time. They can't push the Jin family too hard."

Besides, if we want to seize resources, we should wait until the secret realm is about to close. By then, everyone will have good items, and it's impossible to make a move just three days after entering the secret realm.

“Fairy Fanzhao is right. It’s just a training trip into the secret realm. There’s no need to hand over any leverage to the Jin family.”

Someone immediately followed up with the question:
"Then what happened?"

Everyone fell silent this time. After the secret realm closed, they couldn't enter and had no idea what had happened inside.

Just then, the life tablet in Fairy Fanzhao's hand also snapped in two with a "crack," proving that this disciple of the Fan family had also perished.

Fan Zhao roared in a shrill voice:
"What exactly happened in the secret realm?!"

Meanwhile, a series of killings were unfolding within the Fire Forging Secret Realm. However, the perpetrators were none other than the disciples of the Jin family. Contrary to Jin Hao's prediction, they had not perished but were instead annihilating the immortals who entered the secret realm.

After sending the two Wan sisters into the Inheritance Stele, Yunxi prepared to deal with the Jin family disciples.

She chose to start her search from the outer perimeter, since everyone had only been in the secret realm for three days, and most of the immortals were probably still wandering around the outer perimeter, getting used to the heat of the Fire Forging Secret Realm.

Because Yunxi possessed an ice spirit root, she was relatively heat-resistant and adapted the fastest, moving freely on the perimeter. While searching for traces of the Jin family disciples, she was drawn by the sound of fighting.

She immediately concealed her aura and approached a large patch of red bushes, releasing a wisp of her divine sense at the same time, not wanting to disturb the two sides fighting. The next moment, she discovered that the five members of the Jin family were besieging two male cultivators at the Earth Immortal Realm.

The five members of the Jin family showed no restraint, unleashing deadly moves against the two, who found it extremely difficult to defend themselves.

Yunxi frowned after observing for a while, because she discovered that the five members of the Jin family were all at the Golden Immortal Realm, so they obviously did not need to enter the Fire Forging Secret Realm for training. Their purpose was also very clear: to kill.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow. She felt that this was the Jin family's counterattack. They had been suppressed openly and covertly by other families in Wanhao Immortal City for fifty years, and many of their disciples had died for no reason. They must want to take revenge. This Fire Forging Secret Realm was a good opportunity. She guessed that the Jin family had been planning this for a long time.

Just as Yunxi was pondering, the two immortals had been seriously injured and their immortal infants had been taken away. The five of them were cleaning up the battlefield.

Yunxi thought for a moment, then gently stroked her cheek. Her crystal-clear face slowly transformed into the appearance of Wan Qirui. She adjusted her cultivation to the initial stage of Earth Immortal, then quickly moved away from the five people. Only after creating some distance did she reveal a trace of her aura, which alerted the five people, causing them to speed up their escape.

The five also spotted Yunxi fleeing, and someone stepped forward and said:
"Tsk, there's actually a little fish that slipped through the net. I'll go and deal with her."

"Hurry up, don't take too long. We'd better act together in the secret realm."

"Don't worry, I don't take a little earth immortal seriously. She's a disciple of the Wanqi family, so she might be able to find some useful information."

After saying that, he darted off and chased after her.

Yunxi skillfully harnessed the power of the wind element, increasing her escape speed until she was certain that only one person was following her and that she had created a significant distance between herself and the other four. She then pretended to be exhausted from using a secret technique, stopped in a forest of giant redwood trees, and even tossed a pill into her mouth.

Once her breathing had stabilized, Yunxi pretended to prepare to pass through the giant redwood forest, but a black figure blocked her way.

Yunxi's expression changed:
"How did you catch up with me?!"

The man's face was full of disdain as he looked at Yun Xi with the eyes of someone looking at an ant, and said:
"You are a disciple of the Wanqi family. I've been watching you since the very first day you arrived outside the secret realm!"
