Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Why is this happening!?"

Faced with that cyan sword light, Yanming was completely unable to react or even make any move to dodge.

Because he had exhausted too much of his energy, and was currently casting a spell to trap Tianlin Daoist, he couldn't retract his strength for the time being and could only watch helplessly as the cyan sword light struck him head-on.

In an instant, the incomparably sharp sword energy ran rampant, filled with the power to destroy everything, and raged all over Yanming's body, preventing him from even letting out a scream, as it was blocked by the even more powerful sound of the sword energy cutting through him.

puff puff!

As the sword energy flashed, a series of splattering sounds rang out, and Yanming's flesh was torn apart, splattering countless drops of blood onto the ground.

Yanming didn't even have the power to stop him, after all, he was only a cultivator with a portion of the Foundation Establishment power, not a true Foundation Establishment Grandmaster, and moreover, he himself couldn't bear the power of a Foundation Establishment Grandmaster at all.

In addition, the previous forced activation of the secret realm's restrictions had consumed too much energy, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the intense sword light directly stripped it of all its vitality.

pat.

The next moment, as the dazzling sword light dissipated, a mutilated corpse swayed and lay down on the ground. At a glance, its face was unrecognizable, but one could still vaguely make out its human form.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yun skillfully waved the Myriad Spirits Banner. As the banner swayed, patterns flickered, releasing a guiding force that landed on Yanming's mangled corpse.

The next moment, Yanming's soul was directly fished out and incorporated into the Myriad Spirits Banner, where he refined it into a banner spirit.

"Greetings, Master."

Soon, after Xu Yun took the storage bag from the corpse, he shook the Myriad Spirits Banner, and a beam of light emerged from it, transforming into a human form and landing on the ground. It was none other than Yan Ming, who had been refined into a banner spirit.

At this moment, he knelt on the ground with a respectful and loyal expression, completely devoid of his previous hatred and anger.

"Well, you should continue refining the restriction for now."

Xu Yun nodded slightly, allowing Yanming, who had become the banner spirit, to continue refining the secret realm's restrictions, which was one of his goals for this trip.

At that time, he will be able to completely control the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm, and everyone inside will be at his mercy.

Not to mention completing the tasks of the Initial Saint System, he could even make a fortune from it, since the cultivators outside wouldn't know what happened inside.

"Yes, Master."

Yanming bowed respectfully and continued to refine the restrictions of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm, thinking that he should perform well and not disappoint his master.

Meanwhile, outside, Daoist Tianlin and a group of banner spirits were watching over them. The Blood Fiend Sect disciples who received the signal and rushed over were unaware of what had happened before they were captured and subsequently died, becoming one of Xu Yun's banner spirits.

Buzz!

A moment later, Yanming sat cross-legged inside the cyan light circle, made a hand seal, and completely refined the restriction of the Biling Lake Secret Realm.

However, when he opened his eyes, his expression was somewhat embarrassed. He immediately prostrated himself before Xu Yun and said humbly, "Master, I deserve to die. It must be because I forcibly activated the secret realm's restrictions several times before, which created some flaws. The secret realm, which should have been completely sealed, now has several holes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yun's expression immediately changed. Based on the records he had read in ancient books, he judged that this should be a sign that the secret realm was unstable.

He had previously learned from several Blood Fiend Sect disciples that the entrance to the secret realm had been completely sealed off, and no one could go out or come in.

However, now that several holes have appeared in the secret realm, it means that someone can leave the secret realm.

"Alright, quickly activate the restrictions and use the formations in this secret realm to annihilate everyone inside!"

Xu Yun's face darkened for a moment, but he immediately made a judgment: now was not the time to blame Yan Ming; they had to maximize the value of the secret realm's restrictions.

Even if some people escaped the secret realm, the hole in the secret realm has only just appeared. Even if they can escape, how many people can actually escape?

Xu Yun still has a large amount of wealth and resources waiting for him. Moreover, with the help of the secret realm's grand formation, he can completely eliminate any trace of his actions. Even if he is questioned by others when he goes out, he will have many excuses to clear his name.

Even the cultivators who escaped could testify that they did not see him make a move, thus avoiding being targeted by other immortal sects, which was a win-win situation.

"Thank you for your patience, Master. I'll begin immediately."

Yanming knew that time was of the essence, so he immediately bowed and began to activate the restrictions of the Biling Lake Secret Realm.

In an instant, cyan halos began to spread outwards from him, reaching the deepest part of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm.

The next moment, from the deepest part of the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm, a surging and terrifying invisible force rippled out and began to sweep across the entire secret realm.

..........

A few moments ago, in a secluded spot in the Biling Lake Secret Realm.

A man with a cold and hard expression was surrounded by raging flames. With a wave of his hand, he conjured a fire dragon that roared out and crashed into a black-robed man not far away with a surging killing intent.

Whoosh!

Wherever the fire dragon passed, the air scorched and the vegetation was destroyed. The man in black robes was unable to resist and was directly entangled by the fire dragon. His skin and flesh began to burn and peel off piece by piece, and he let out a mournful howl.

He then fell to the ground, half-dead, looking extremely weak and on the verge of death.

"What the hell are you damned demonic cultivators plotting?!"

The cold, stern-faced man landed in front of him, grabbed him, and, his eyes filled with murderous intent, coldly demanded, "Why can't we leave the secret realm? And where is the mastermind behind this?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other cultivators around him slowly walked over, all looking at the black-robed man with cold expressions.

"Hehe, Feng Shaoqing of Yuantian Sect, the true disciple Feng is indeed worthy of his reputation. It's a pity that even with such great fame, you will eventually die without a burial place."

The man in black robes looked completely in control. Even with Feng Shaoqing grabbing his neck, he still sneered and looked mockingly at everyone present.

"you!!"

Feng Shaoqing's murderous aura intensified, and he clenched his teeth, growing increasingly anxious. His intuition told him that these demonic cultivators were definitely plotting something sinister.

Unfortunately, ever since they discovered that the entrance to the secret realm was closed, these Yuan Tian Sect cultivators, together with others, have been searching but have been unable to find any crucial clues.

Rumble!

Just then, Feng Shaoqing suddenly noticed that the entire Biling Lake Secret Realm was shaking again, and unlike before, this time the shaking was much stronger.

At the same time, loud noises echoed from all directions, as if space itself was collapsing.

Upon seeing this, the captured demonic cultivator let out a maniacal roar, "Haha, it's done! We've finally succeeded!"

As a disciple of the Blood Fiend Sect, he naturally knew what was happening in the Azure Spirit Lake Secret Realm. It must be that Yan Zhenchuan had completely mastered the secret realm's restrictions and was now about to take action against the other cultivators in the secret realm.

Thinking of this, he looked at Feng Shaoqing with anticipation, eager to see this true disciple of the Yuantian Sect reduced to dust.

"Damn it... huh?"

Just as Feng Shaoqing was about to unleash his defensive techniques to protect everyone, he suddenly saw something and was momentarily stunned.

Suddenly, a hole appeared in the space in front of them, through which they could vaguely see the outside world, which was none other than the surface of Biling Lake.

"This is... the exit to the outside world!?"

When Feng Shaoqing saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, but when he sensed the continuous influx of energy from the outside world, he knew that this was not a trap, but a real exit.

"How is this possible? Shouldn't Yan Zhen have mastered the restrictions within the secret realm and activated the formation to annihilate the other cultivators? Why is this happening?!"

The captured Blood Fiend Sect disciple gasped in shock, his face filled with disbelief, completely unable to accept the scene before him.

Seeing the demonic cultivator's shocked expression, Feng Shaoqing's mind raced. He seemed to have realized something and exclaimed excitedly, "Excellent! It must be some unknown righteous person who discovered your demonic cultivators' conspiracy and stepped forward to thwart your plans!"
