C472 The Road Ahead Was Blocked
On a barren beach, two figures were speeding past.
Not far away, there was an extremely vast lake. The water was vast, but it didn't have much vitality.
Lin Cheng's expression was solemn, and his eyes were filled with vigilance. If it was possible... Lin Cheng absolutely didn't want to pass through this place, because he was standing on a towering mountain that towered into the clouds not far away. There was an extremely terrifying Demonic Beast, the Red Flame Fruit in his Storage Ring... It was very likely to be the food of that Demonic Beast.
This was the first place Lin Cheng went to after entering the secret realm. It was also here that he encountered Zou Qingqi and the people from the Myriad Sword Sect.
A few dozen miles ahead was an exit of the secret realm. He had entered from there.
Before entering the Tianluo Secret Realm, the Unification Sect had yet to find this exit. Among the two exits that Lin Cheng knew, only this one could be unguarded.
Therefore, even if there was a terrifying Demonic Beast on that mountain, Lin Cheng could only choose to leave this place.
Since he guessed that the Unification Sect would seal off all the exits, Lin Cheng could only choose to leave early. If the Unification Sect was not fast enough, or if they were careless, he and Green Snake would still have a chance to leave.
Along the way, Lin Cheng tried his best to conceal his Qi and lower his realm as much as possible, hoping to avoid the detection of the Demonic Beast.
Although he knew that the Demonic Beast was incomparably powerful, the spiritual sense must also be very shocking. If the Demonic Beast wanted to investigate, it was almost impossible for them to avoid it. However, he also hoped that the Demonic Beast would be able to detect it. It would be overlooked by that Demonic Beast because his and Green Snake's Cultivation Level were too low. It might even be ignored directly.
However, Lin Cheng's heart was also very perturbed, because he didn't know if the Demonic Beast could detect the aura of the Red Flame Fruit.
Especially that night, in order to avoid being hunted down by the Second Elder of the Unification Sect, he took out the Red Flame Fruit to plot against Qin Yuan. Although it had successfully provoked the fury of the Demonic Beast, causing Qin Yuan to flee in panic. However, the Demonic Beast had probably sensed his existence.
A Demonic Beast that had reached that realm definitely had great intelligence. If it had also noted down Lin Cheng's aura, then they would have passed by here by now. Once the Demonic Beast sensed it, the two of them would be in great danger!
At this moment, Lin Cheng hoped that Qin Yuan would appear. He believed that the Demonic Beast wouldn't be indifferent after detecting Qin Yuan's Qi. In this way, he and Green Snake would be safe.
However, if Qin Yuan really appeared here, it meant that the exit in front of them had already been controlled by the Unification Sect. At that time, he would also face a lot of trouble.
Various thoughts flashed across Lin Cheng's mind. His expression was solemn and vigilant to the extreme.
Green Snake had already known about the existence of the Demonic Beast, so she was also very nervous at this moment. Especially when she heard from Lin Cheng that even the Unification Sect's Second Elder could only flee in panic in front of the Demonic Beast. Her heart became even more nervous.
Perhaps it was because Lin Cheng and Green Snake's Cultivation Level were too low, and the Demonic Beast didn't put them in its eyes at all. The two of them nervously and vigilantly walked past the beach, but the Demonic Beast didn't move at all.
This made the two of them heave a sigh of relief. If the Demonic Beast were to launch an attack, the two of them wouldn't be able to resist at all. They could only flee frantically.
Not long after, Lin Cheng brought Green Snake to the place where he had entered the Tianluo Secret Realm. Although there didn't seem to be any abnormalities here, as long as he released the spiritual sense to investigate a little, I can sense the spiritual energy fluctuations here and the space that's obviously a little strange.
"Young Master, is this the entrance to the secret realm?" Green Snake asked.
"That's right!"
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "I came in from here."
Green Snake said, "It seems like there are no guards here. Young Master, I will go scout the way first."
"No rush!"
Lin Cheng shook his head and stopped Green Snake.
He was not in a hurry to get out. Instead, he released the spiritual sense and checked carefully. There was indeed no one guarding this place and there were no traces of anyone coming here. However, this did not mean that there was no one outside the exit.
His line of sight could not pass through the exit, so he could only use the spiritual sense to investigate.
However, Lin Cheng frowned slightly because he discovered that his spiritual sense couldn't pass through the thin layer of Spatial Barrier.
"Young master, the spiritual sense can't detect the outside!" Green Snake said.
She also used the spiritual sense to investigate, but there was no way to penetrate through the exit.
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "No need to rush. Let's wait and see!"
He released his divine sense. The spiritual sense could not pass through the Spatial Barrier, perhaps his divine sense could.
Indeed!
Lin Cheng's divine sense easily passed through the Spatial Barrier at the exit. He could not help but feel refreshed, and then began to carefully investigate.
There was no one outside the exit, and there were no other traces. There was only a rapid river, and this was the path he had come from.
Lin Cheng was not in a hurry to withdraw his divine sense. Instead, he walked forward a distance. His Divine Sense was pressed closely to the exit of the Spatial Barrier, even though it was enhanced along with the Cultivation Level. At the same time, his Divine Sense had also been enhanced by a large margin. However, compared to the spiritual sense... The distance that his Divine Sense could detect was still too close. The only thing he could do was to get as close to the exit as possible. Only then would he be able to explore further.
Lin Cheng's Divine Sense carefully searched every inch of the place, even into the river. After a moment, he couldn't help but frown.
"Green Snake, I'm afraid we can't get out of here." Lin Cheng said with a frown.
"Young master, is there someone outside?"
Green Snake was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Lin Cheng's expression was solemn as he nodded with a frown.
In fact, he did not notice anyone outside. In fact, at the beginning, he did not even find any traces of anyone. If he did not investigate the river at the end, he might not have discovered it.
However, when he used his Divine Sense to check the river, he found a few Array Flags. This immediately made him realize that the Unification Sect must have already found the exit.
He once again examined it carefully and quickly recognized it. The Array Flag in the river formed a monitoring formation. It was very similar to the formation in the Transmission Jade Chip, which meant that the people of the Unification Sect were closely monitoring the exit.
Therefore, although they didn't see anyone from the Unification Sect outside the exit, Lin Cheng believed that there were definitely powerful experts in the vicinity. Once they left this place, they would immediately activate the monitoring formation. At that time, the experts of Unification Sect would definitely rush over as fast as they could, and perhaps even block their path.
"Young master, what should we do?" Green Snake asked worriedly.
Since this exit had been discovered, it meant that Lin Cheng's speculation was correct. The few experts from the Unification Sect who entered the secret realm had probably already arrived near the secret realm. The reason why they didn't enter the secret realm was because they were investigating the exit of the secret realm. At the same time, they set up a formation.
If they were to leave this place, they would run headfirst into the Unification Sect's ambush.
"Don't worry!"
Lin Cheng shook his head. He didn't panic at all. Although this exit was controlled by the Unification Sect, it didn't mean that they had no other choice.
"Young master, I will go out first and lure the people of the Unification Sect away. After that, you will rush out..." Green Snake suggested.
"That's not appropriate!"
Lin Cheng waved his hand, "Your realm is too low. I'm afraid you won't be able to lure those powerhouses away!"
He was almost certain that the person lying in ambush outside was a Divine Ability Stage expert.
Lin Cheng had always had some doubts in his heart. He had seen with his own eyes that those dozens of Rogue Cultivator Experts had been recruited by the Unification Sect. He had entered the secret realm, but ever since he entered it, other than Feng Guizhou, he had never seen a single Rogue Cultivator Expert. Initially, he thought that it might be because the Tianluo Secret Realm was too big. That was why he didn't see those experts.
But now, he finally understood that the Unification Sect definitely had a complete plan long ago. Those experts probably had their own missions and didn't need to explore the secret realms like the others.
After all, the Tianluo Secret Realm had long been controlled by the Unification Sect. Obviously, they had been investigated more than once. Perhaps, there were only treasures like the fiery-red Disk in the Peak of Snow Mountain that couldn't be easily obtained. The rest of the treasures had already been taken away by the Unification Sect.
Therefore, those experts were either sent by the Unification Sect to retrieve treasures similar to the fiery-red Disk or had other missions. Obviously, sealing all the exits of the secret realm was one of their missions!
This made Lin Cheng shake his head secretly. There were more than a dozen Rogue Cultivator Experts. The Unification Sect's strength in the Tianluo Secret Realm was absolutely not something that anyone could compete with, although he was confident that he could escape from the hands of a core disciple like Tong Chenen. However, he was afraid that it wouldn't be so easy for him to fight those Rogue Cultivator Expert.
One should know that even if they were both Divine Ability Stage experts, their combat strength would be greatly different.1
Especially those Rogue Cultivator Expert, they didn't have the profound foundation and abundant resources of the sect. They could only rely on themselves to fight and fight for it. The rogue cultivators who grew up under such circumstances would definitely have rich combat experience. Furthermore, they were extremely powerful experts.
Those who were not good at fighting were either dead or unable to become experts!
Lin Cheng believed that if the core disciples of the Unification Sect were to fight the experts of the rogue cultivators, if it was purely in terms of combat strength, the core disciples of the Unification Sect would definitely not be a match for the Rogue Cultivator Expert.
Speaking of magic treasures, perhaps it was very easy for the disciples of the sect to obtain magic treasures. It might be enough for them to become strong, but who wouldn't have fortuitous encounters and opportunities?
No one could guarantee that those experts definitely didn't have powerful magic treasures!
Looking at Green Snake again, he was merely an Incarnation Stage Cultivation Level. In front of those strong people, she couldn't even get away from them in a single exchange. There was simply no way to lure those people away.
These thoughts flashed across Lin Cheng's mind. He deliberated and said, "There are still a few months until the secret realm closes. We do not have to leave in a hurry. Let's observe here for a while first. Perhaps there will be a turning point."
