Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce

When the fleet sailed to the hunting grounds, Kree secretly destroyed the rudders of all the large ships and killed the elders on board. He then deliberately let the wounded siren escape, attracting powerful deep-sea siren to attack these noble scions.

After the Siren Hunting Grounds became a place ravaged by Siren, Kree captured several seriously injured and dying noble family disciples and brought them back to Moro City, while he himself disguised himself as a seriously injured guard.

He relayed the news of the incident at the sea hunting grounds to the Wei family.

After the Weasley family launched a massive rescue operation, Kerry began his vengeful plan of destruction.

He fought a fierce battle with the two remaining elders of the Wei family in Moro City for several days, destroying the Wei family's port, treasure pavilion, elixir hall, library, and the only remaining ancient Moro tree on Lothar Island.

He also gifted countless treasures, elixirs, secret manuals, and weapons to the Black Hawk Alliance.

Finally, in order to find his mortal enemy Wei Lingyao, Ke Li ventured alone into the Wei family's cultivation secret realm.

While destroying the spirit-gathering array in the secret realm, an ancient teleportation array was accidentally triggered.

Kree was transported to a secret realm, a small, independent world.

The space is covered in ice and snow all year round, making it a truly extreme cold and mysterious place.

There is a huge lake in the secret realm, which occupies 70% of the entire secret realm area.

Although the secret realm is covered in ice and snow, the water in this lake never freezes.

In the center of the lake stands a massive ice peak, towering into the clouds; it is the only high peak in the entire secret realm.

The ice peak is covered by a thick layer of ancient ice, which is extremely cold. Any creature that touches it will be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture.

A group of people live on the land in the secret realm, surrounding a lake and living by the water.

Because very few plants and animals can grow in the extremely cold and mysterious realm, the people in the realm mainly rely on fishing and collecting aquatic products in the cold lake for a living.

After Kerry entered the secret realm, he was rescued by a girl named Cher and settled down in Cher's tribe.

Due to the limitations imposed by the rules of heaven and earth, even those with exceptional talent in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm can only cultivate to the Body Refinement Realm.

Outsiders like Kerry would have their cultivation greatly suppressed in the secret realm, at most only able to reach the level of the early stage of the Organ Refining Realm.

There are only ten tribes in the secret realm, and each tribe has a population of only a few thousand, so the total population of the secret realm is not large.

Because of the vast territory and sparse population, there are few conflicts of interest between tribes, and they are relatively friendly to each other, with few conflicts occurring.

In this secluded and peaceful place, Kerry lived a rare and tranquil life.

Due to spending so much time together, Kerry and the kind-hearted girl Cher developed feelings for each other.

A year later, the two married with the help of their clansmen.

The year after their marriage, Cher gave birth to a daughter for Kerry. Now married, Kerry felt a sense of belonging to this secluded place.

Kerry felt incredibly happy after becoming a father. He let go of his hatred and abandoned his past, focusing all his energy on building a stable home.

However, good times are always so fleeting.

He thought he would spend the rest of his life peacefully in this secret place, but unexpectedly, only five years later, fate played another trick on him.

The year after his daughter was born, he was told by his tribe that every summer, he and the young men of the tribe would go to the ancient ice beneath the ice peaks to collect a unique gemstone called ice marrow, until his children grew up.

Xuanbing is extremely cold, and anyone who touches it will be frozen into an ice sculpture.

Only during the summer months each year does the extreme cold of the Xuanbing (mysterious ice) lessen, allowing people to venture into the Xuanbing region in search of ice marrow.

Although ice marrow is an extremely precious gemstone, it has little practical significance for those living in the secret realm.

However, they had to risk their lives to dig for it, because every ten years, a group of powerful outsiders would enter the secret realm to collect the ice marrow.

Each tribe must hand over a certain amount of ice marrow, or they will be punished by these powerful beings.

Only then did Kerry realize that this extremely cold secret realm had long been controlled by a powerful organization from the outside world, and that the people in the secret realm were descendants of laborers sent in by this powerful organization to mine long ago.

Although Kerry was reluctant, he still went into the ice peaks with his tribe to collect ice marrow for the sake of his wife and daughter.

Upon entering the ice peak, he discovered that the millennia-old ice was not as dangerous as his clansmen had described.

Although it was much colder than outside, it didn't affect him much.

Each time he entered, he was able to go further and collect more ice marrow.

In one summer month, Kerry collected more than ten times the amount of ice marrow as others.

Since then, every summer month, Kerry only needs to spend a few days in the ice peaks to complete the entire month's mission.

To express his gratitude to his tribe for taking him in, Kerry would always collect extra ice marrow to share with them.

Having benefited from Kerry, the tribespeople became even more affectionate towards him, and even held him in high esteem.

But all that was good ended because of the premature arrival of a powerful outsider.

Based on past patterns, these people, who should have entered the program eight years later, entered it three years earlier.

Suspicious of this, Kerry secretly crept to the vicinity of the teleportation array to investigate, and surprisingly discovered an old acquaintance among them. This person was one of the Wei family patriarchs who had fought with him for several days.

Moreover, there were as many as fifty people entering this time, a full twenty more than before.

These people were all at or above the Refining Organs Realm, with ten of them at the Profound Body Realm alone.

Seeing this, Kerry immediately realized that these people's real purpose was to come for him.

Despite the strength of these people, Kerry was not afraid.

His concerns were about his wife and daughters.

He could not harm his loved ones for his own sake; he could neither escape nor surrender. He had no choice but to fight to the death.

So, taking advantage of the fact that these people had just been teleported into the secret realm and had not yet fully adapted to the environment, he launched a sneak attack on them, with the first target being the Wei clan patriarch.

Five years ago, even the two elders of the Wayclan couldn't defeat Kree when they joined forces. Now, with only one elder left and caught off guard, this elder was killed by Kree with almost no chance to defend himself.

Due to the rules of the secret realm, the cultivation levels of all Xuan Ti Realm experts who enter the secret realm are suppressed to the Lian Zang Realm.

However, Kerry is somewhat special. Although his cultivation level was also suppressed to the Refining Organs Realm, his innate divine power was not greatly affected.

The only way to protect his family is for him to either kill all the enemies who have entered the secret realm, or for him to disappear.

Kree had no choice but to fight his way through with his powerful physique and divine strength, charging directly toward the center of the magic circle.

He understood that no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't fight these people head-on, so he chose to destroy the teleportation array first and cut off their escape route.

According to the people in the secret realm, this teleportation array is an ancient array, not built by these people. They only know how to activate the array.

Therefore, once the formation is destroyed, the secret realm will lose contact with the outside world, and people from the outside world will no longer be able to enter the secret realm.

However, Kerry did not expect that the teleportation array was so sturdy that it remained unscathed despite his frantic attempts to destroy it.

Surrounded in the center of the formation, Kerry had no choice but to abandon his original plan and was forced to fight against the attacking opponents.

Facing ten opponents alone, Kerry showed no fear, instead growing more ferocious with each kill. In just a few exchanges, Kerry had killed several martial artists at the Refining Organs Realm and one expert at the Profound Body Realm.

In the fierce battle, Kerry was not unscathed either, suffering multiple stab wounds to his back and chest.

Fortunately, Kerry reacted quickly and avoided vital areas, so the injuries were all superficial and did not cause serious harm.

But crimson blood flowed out, staining his entire body red, mixing with the blood splattered by his enemies, making Kerry a blood-soaked figure.

The fierce fighting gave Kerry no chance to catch his breath, and he knew that the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him.

So he attacked the enemy with all his might, disregarding his own life. His idea was simple: to take as many people down with him before he died.

Although the injuries continued to mount, within the time it takes to drink a few cups of tea, seven or eight corpses had fallen beside him. Blood flowed profusely, staining the entire teleportation array crimson.

The powerful outsiders who entered the secret realm were no ordinary people; they were all ruthless individuals with extensive combat experience.

Seeing that Kerry's cultivation level was extremely high and his combat strength was formidable, going head-to-head with him would be tantamount to suicide.

Their advantage lies in their numbers; if they can trap this person here, victory will eventually be theirs in the long run.

So these people quickly reached a consensus to surround Kerry without attacking, thus wearing him down.

Kerry naturally understood their meaning, but he was trapped in the formation and had no other choice but to keep attacking, trying to break through their encirclement.

However, after a struggle, the results were not obvious.

Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, no one noticed that the blood flowing in the array patterns was rapidly decreasing. The patterns were like water-absorbing sponges, constantly absorbing the blood.

Not long after, something unexpected happened to both sides.

The array patterns that had absorbed the blood suddenly shone brightly, and the entire array began to operate without warning.

A moment later, Kerry, who was standing in the center of the formation, and several other powerful outsiders within the formation's range suddenly found themselves unable to move.

The situation was the same as before Kerry was teleported in the Wei family's cultivation secret realm.

Is he about to be teleported again? Before Kerry could react, the array suddenly burst into light, shooting straight into the sky.

When the light faded, the formation was completely empty, and even the blood that had flowed within it had vanished without a trace.

All people and objects within the formation were teleported away.

When Kerry regained consciousness, he found himself transported to a completely unfamiliar place.

The area was lush with trees, rugged with rocks, and the air was fresh. Most importantly, he discovered that his cultivation had returned to normal.

Looking around, the corpses he had killed were scattered around him, while the people who had been teleported with him had fallen further away.

This was definitely not Lothar Island. After a moment's thought, Kree quickly realized that he had been transported to another unknown world.

At this moment, the five people opposite had already gathered together, warily watching Kerry.

Although three of them were at the Profound Body Realm and two at the Organ Refining Realm, they were intimidated by Kerry's ruthlessness in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm and dared not make any rash moves even with a five-to-one numerical advantage.

Kerry was very curious. These five people had no intention of fighting him, and even seemed to be somewhat afraid of him, yet they didn't seem to want to run away.

Given Kerry's alertness, he suspected these people might be stalling for time while waiting for rescue.

So he decided to strike first.

But when Kerry prepared to launch an attack, those people did not fight back, but instead disregarded their image and begged for peace.

Upon further inquiry, it turned out that these people also did not know what this land was.

Out of fear of the unknown, they wanted Kerry to temporarily put aside their grudges and stick together to face the unknown. But they were afraid that Kerry would disagree, so they were conflicted.

Seeing that the men didn't seem to be lying, Kerry temporarily believed them.

After inquiring, it was discovered that these people were not from Lothar Island, but from a place called Yale Island.

The reason they entered the extreme cold secret realm with the Wei family from Losa Island was because their family had an agreement with the Wei family.

This extremely cold secret realm is a secret space shared by their ancestors.

The ten tribes in the secret realm were mining laborers sent there by their ancient ancestors.

The Wei family is just one of them.

Previously, every ten years, each family would send three people into the space to collect ice marrow.

This time, the Wei family issued a warning to all the families, saying that outsiders had broken into the secret realm. In order to prevent being attacked by outsiders, each family sent two more people.

But they never expected that the Wei family had deceived them and used them as pawns.

Now that all the people sent by the Wei family have been killed by Kerry and have been teleported out of the secret realm, there is no need for them to continue fighting, and they will not seek revenge for the Wei family.

Kerry hadn't expected this, so he agreed.

In truth, Kerry didn't want to fight to the death with these people. They didn't know, but Kerry knew that in this space without the suppression of the laws of heaven and earth, in his current state, he could at most fight two Xuan Ti Realm cultivators to a draw. If these three joined forces, he would undoubtedly lose.

After tacitly agreeing to a temporary cooperation, the group began to explore this unfamiliar space together.

Three days later, the six returned to their original place, looking utterly dejected.

After three days of exploration, they were devastated to discover that it was a deserted island.

Apart from this teleportation array, there were no other traces of human activity on the island. Moreover, the island was very small; a person could walk around it in just two or three hours.

Apart from the dense trees, there were no large birds or animals on the island.

The island is surrounded by a vast expanse of sea, making it impossible to know where you are.

After surveying the island's terrain, Kerry separated from the five men.

Since we're not familiar with each other, there's no need for us to stay together.

Kerry returned to the teleportation array, dug a hole and buried the seven or eight corpses, taking their storage bags as he did so.

Then he chose a stone peak on the island and began to meditate and cultivate there.

Unlike the five restless people, Kerry felt calm. Since they couldn't go back, they could only accept whatever came their way.

For the next few days, Kerry remained on the rocky peak, cultivating and recovering. Although the men assured him they would not disturb him again, Kerry didn't quite believe them.

Perhaps there's always a way out.

That morning, while watching the sunrise, Kerry inadvertently noticed that just before the sun was about to leap above the horizon, the morning glow cast a faint shadow of a mountain. However, the shadow appeared for a very short time and disappeared as soon as the sun peeked over the horizon.

Kerry wasn't sure if what he saw was real, so he observed it for several days. To his great excitement, the mountain shadows were not an illusion.
