Chapter 969 The Hunt Begins 4
Upon seeing Jin Quan disappear into the Red Stone Forest, the other three members of the Jin family immediately began attacking the formation in an attempt to rescue their companion.

"Wan Qiyin actually set up an array?"

"Is the Wanqi family, like the Jin family, plotting to exterminate the Jin family disciples, and thus setting up this formation to lure us in?"

"What are you waiting for? Destroy this formation immediately!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the three men's attacks landed heavily on the light shield formed by the array. The light shield flickered after being attacked, but it ultimately held on and was not shattered.

Yunxi, who was inside the formation, naturally sensed that the formation was under attack. With three Golden Immortals attacking the formation she had temporarily created, the formation certainly wouldn't last long, so she increased the speed of her attack.

Jin Quan, on the other side, seemed to have seen through Yun Xi's eagerness to escape, and began to focus on dodging rather than directly confronting Yun Xi's attacks, clearly trying to buy time.

Yunxi frowned and, taking advantage of a lull in the attack, released six small flying butterflies, instructing them to flap their wings rapidly and scatter the "sacrifice" that Wanqiye had previously used on his cousin.

Jin Quan thought that Wan Qiyin was going to use the spirit butterflies to send a message, so he directly sucked all six small flying butterflies into his palm and crushed them to powder.

Yunxi quickly dodged backward, not wanting to inhale the powder.

Jin Quan raised his gourd again, chanting incantations. He released a thick black gas from the gourd and controlled the ink-black gas to spread out, beginning to corrode the array patterns inscribed by Yun Xi.

Yunxi's eyes flashed, and she became even more wary of the black energy. She summoned the Xuanlei Ziyan from her dantian and covered her entire body. She would never let the black energy touch her, and it would be best if it didn't even touch her protective aura.

Dian Dian has started vomiting:

“Master, run! Ugh! That black aura is a thousand times stronger than the one I smelled before. If we get entangled in it, it will definitely pollute your immortal energy and soul.”

Upon hearing this, Yunxi immediately stuffed Dian Dian back into the Thousand Illusion Flowing Unicorn Mother-Child Ring, isolating it from the foul air of the outside world.

Jin Quan, who had been smugly controlling the black energy, suddenly changed his expression. He realized that the immortal energy in his body was shrinking back into his dantian, and the black energy he controlled with his soul was also beginning to scatter.

He stared intently at Yun Xi and said in surprise:
"what have you done?"

Yunxi also noticed the other party's abnormality. In a flash, she rushed in front of the other party with the Seven Star Deadly Staff in her hand. She could not delay any longer, as the temporary formation had reached its limit.

The next second, Yunxi's Seven Star Deadly Staff pierced through Jin Quan's dantian. Purple smoke followed the staff and wrapped around the celestial infant in Jin Quan's dantian. The staff emitted a chilling aura, instantly freezing the opponent into an icicle. Jin Quan's surprised expression didn't even have time to change.

After being attacked by both ice and fire, Jin Quan's body began to weaken. Yun Xi withdrew the Seven Star Deadly Staff and punched the ice man in the process. Jin Quan shattered into several pieces instantly, while the purple smoke wrapped around the immortal infant returned to its master's palm.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the formation shattered completely, and Yunxi took Jin Quan's storage ring and flashed into the space.

The aftershocks of the destroyed formation quickly spread throughout the Red Stone Forest, startling the earth rhinoceros beasts dwelling there into a frenzy of escape. The remaining three members of the Jin family swept away the aftershocks of the Red Stone Forest with a wave of their sleeves. Looking at the mess on the ground and the corpses of their companions, their expressions changed drastically, seemingly not expecting Jin Quan to be killed in a counterattack.

"This is a trap set by the Wanqi family. We hunt geese all day long, but the geese pecked our eyes."

One of them squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

"What do we do next? We've already lost two people. If the Wanqi family contacts their remaining disciples to join forces against us, it will be very troublesome."

The leading Jin family disciple narrowed his eyes and said:
"A group of minor Earth Immortals, at most only at the Heavenly Immortal realm, can only deal with us using this method. We can't let them unite. We must strike first and kill all these disciples. Let's see who the Wanqi family can unite with then!"

The other person used their divine sense to scan the entire Red Stone Forest, but did not find Wan Qiyin. They then said to the other two:
"The disciples of the Wanqi family must have run away."

"Hmph! What are you afraid of? Where could they have escaped to? They must still be in the secret realm. Let's go!"

After saying that, the three disappeared from the spot, without even collecting their companion's body.

Yunxi, who had entered the spatial realm, was not in a hurry to leave. She first went to check on Lili, who was breaking through inside the Moon Gate. She found that Lili's aura was still steadily rising. Only then did she enter the main hall of the Immortal Medicine Sect and take out all the gains she had made in just five days to examine them one by one.

He entered the secret realm but failed to hunt a single immortal beast or harvest a single fire-type immortal plant. Instead, he gained a considerable amount of storage equipment.

First, she put Wan Qiye's storage belt and ring into her own storage bracelet. Since their owner had perished, the divine imprint had also disappeared. She poured the immortal stones inside into her own storage bracelet, poured out the immortal pills prepared by Wan Qiye and put them into her own specially made pill bottle, categorizing them neatly.

Among them was the "sacrifice" that the other party used on Wan Qirui. This kind of thing can indeed play a miraculous role in critical moments, so she decided to keep it in reserve, just in case she needed it in the future!

The rest were some jade slips and refining materials collected by Wan Qiye. They all looked quite good and were probably prepared for upgrading her natal magic weapon. She accepted them all with a smile.

Next was Wan Qili's storage ring. The contents of his storage ring were not much different from Wan Qiye's, but he had stockpiled a lot of array plates, which were obviously prepared specifically for this secret realm. There was even a teleportation scroll, probably for escaping, which benefited her. However, she dared not use these things in the secret realm to avoid getting into trouble.

She sealed away both of their natal magic treasures. After leaving the Central Immortal Realm, she would find a weapon refiner to disassemble them to see if there were any usable parts from her own natal magic treasures, so she could at least upgrade the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella and the Frost Profound Ice Needle.

After doing all this, she picked up Wanqili's communication jade slip and sent out the news that she had discovered that the Jin family disciples had killed the immortals who had entered the secret realm.

Whether the cultivators who received the message believed it or not was none of her concern. In any case, she had already given them a warning, and she even conveniently pinned Wan Qiye's death on Jin Quan, since she was the one who killed both of them.

Yunxi sorted through the storage equipment of the two disciples of the Jin family last. The items inside were all similar, but she unexpectedly found a black token with patterns that gleamed with a cold light, which instantly reminded her of four other similar black tokens that she had kept hidden away.

She never expected to see such a token in the Immortal Realm. The other four were obtained by her by chance from evil cultivators in the Spirit Realm, but she never understood the function of the black token, so she sealed them away.

With this one today, she now has five. She believes that once she collects all the black tokens, she will be able to figure out their function.
