"Disciple Emperor Jiang! Greetings to Master!"

"Master! The Cultivation Technique and Technique you taught me, I have mastered to Great Success!"

"Master! I have been diligently cultivating these years, and my cultivation has reached the Half-Immortal Realm."

"Master! I have remembered all your teachings! I have not brought shame to you!"

"Master! Being able to see you one last time, my wish is fulfilled, I can die..."

Emperor Jiang cried tears of joy, continuously reporting to Gu Chenfeng. It seemed like good news, but his eyes were filled with endless sorrow.

Hearing Emperor Jiang's words, past memories flooded Gu Chenfeng's mind, and his heart bled with grief and pain as if a knife were twisting it.

However.

Before Emperor Jiang finished speaking, his weakened Divine Soul dissipated into countless light spots.

"Emperor Jiang! Emperor Jiang!" Gu Chenfeng's face changed drastically, anxiously shouting, "Who did this? Tell me quickly!"

Unfortunately, Emperor Jiang's Divine Soul had dispersed, and could no longer answer.

In a hurry and with a burning heart, Gu Chenfeng quickly activated the Ice Attribute, his hands forming mysterious seals.

"Heavenly Dao Divine Lock! Seal!" Gu Chenfeng shouted coldly.

A golden Array instantly formed in front of Gu Chenfeng, followed by golden energy locks shooting out from the Array.

Gu Chenfeng gritted his teeth angrily, "Master will never let you die!"

Gu Chenfeng waved his hand, and a large number of golden chains shot out.

Gu Chenfeng's palm clenched suddenly, and the golden chains wrapped the light points of the Divine Soul in a magnificent way, forming a Golden Lotus, finally sealing Emperor Jiang's dissipated Divine Soul.

Gu Chenfeng beckoned, and the Golden Lotus flew over, finally shrinking to his palm.

Staring at the Golden Lotus in his palm, Gu Chenfeng felt heartbroken as if a knife were carving his heart.

One of his most outstanding disciples was murdered.

Gu Chenfeng's eyes flickered with bloodthirsty killing intent, frowning, "Emperor Jiang's cultivation had reached the Half-Immortal Realm, and he possessed Immortal Technique. No one in the Cultivation Realm could kill him, not even the Demon Race!"

Gu Chenfeng originally wanted to summon Emperor Jiang to go to the Fire Spirit Race together, but he never expected that Emperor Jiang would only have a faint thread of Divine Soul left.

If Gu Chenfeng hadn't come to summon him, Emperor Jiang's Divine Soul might have completely vanished, and he'd never see Emperor Jiang again in this lifetime.

The more Gu Chenfeng thought about it, the angrier he became; his overwhelming fury almost erupted from his eyes.

Gu Chenfeng clenched his fists, fiercely saying, "No matter who dares to kill my disciple, even if I have to sweep across the worlds, I will find you and extinguish your soul and body! All those related to you must die!"

The bloodthirsty killing intent, accompanied by a terrifying aura, erupted like a death storm.

However.

This very death storm triggered an energy fluctuation in the distant ancient tree, revealing a blood-red Array.

This was an extremely powerful defensive force.

"This is..." Gu Chenfeng, sensing something, looked towards the towering ancient tree, frowning, "Seven Kills Soul Devouring Array."

Suppressing the overwhelming anger in his heart, Gu Chenfeng flashed to the base of the ancient tree, reaching out to gently touch it.

The surface of the ancient tree once again rippled with a faint energy fluctuation.

"The Seven Kills Soul Devouring Array still contains Emperor Jiang's Spiritual Power." Gu Chenfeng frowned, "His Divine Soul has already integrated into the Array. The greater the power, the stronger the defense of the Seven Kills Soul Devouring Array. Now that the Divine Soul has dissipated, the power of the Array has greatly weakened."

"Did Emperor Jiang rely on this Array to maintain his Divine Soul? Using the power of the Array, consuming the souls of the dead, including demon beasts, barely preserving his residual soul."

"Emperor Jiang, what exactly did you experience? And who exactly did this?"

The words fell.

Gu Chenfeng formed seals with one hand, then his Sword Point trembled, coldly shouting, "Break!"

Before long, the surface of the massive ancient tree rippled with an energy wave again, and the blood-red Array dissipated into the air.

Gu Chenfeng conjured an Ice Sword, his Sword Point swung, and the Ice Sword cut an opening into the ancient tree.

Gu Chenfeng then flashed into the ancient tree.

As soon as he entered the ancient tree, Gu Chenfeng saw Emperor Jiang's corpse, and his overwhelming fury and bloodthirsty killing intent exploded uncontrollably.

Emperor Jiang's corpse had lost its right arm, and there was a gaping hole in its chest.

Looking closely, Gu Chenfeng noticed a silver needle embedded in the forehead of the skull.

Gu Chenfeng grabbed through the air, and the silver needle flew into his palm.

At the instant the silver needle touched Gu Chenfeng's palm, he was immediately shocked, "So heavy!"

This silver needle weighed dozens of pounds!

Staring at the silver needle in his palm, Gu Chenfeng frowned, "Is this a concealed weapon? Who in the Cultivation Realm would use a concealed weapon weighing dozens of pounds? And how could a silver needle possibly hit Emperor Jiang?"

Having lived through nine lifetimes, Gu Chenfeng had never seen this silver needle before.

Storing the silver needle in his Storage Ring, planning to inquire at the Artifact Refining Pavilion upon returning, perhaps finding an answer there.

Looking at Emperor Jiang's corpse, Gu Chenfeng frowned, "The Nine Profound Ring was taken, the Jinghong Immortal Sword was seized, the Divine Fire Heartless Armor was damaged. The person who did this possessed extremely strong power."

"Could it be someone from the Immortal Realm? If it were someone from the Immortal Realm, they would indeed have the power to kill Emperor Jiang."

In his many years in the Cultivation Realm, Gu Chenfeng had known many powerful beings, but he couldn't think of anyone capable of killing Emperor Jiang.

Only someone from the Immortal Realm could possess such power.

"If it really is someone from the Immortal Realm, I will make sure that they meet their demise!" Gu Chenfeng said fiercely, his bloodthirsty killing intent and domineering aura spreading out.

"Buzz, buzz!"

At this time, the tranquil mountain forest suddenly shook violently.

An incredibly terrifying energy wave, carrying overwhelming might, swept through, unstoppable.

"Such a powerful ancient aura, the Secret Realm has opened!" Gu Chenfeng slightly frowned, then flashed out of the ancient tree.

Gu Chenfeng flashed into the air, gazing skyward.

There lay the entrance to the Secret Realm.

It was a dazzling white Array infused with terrifying energy.

Looking at the white Array, Gu Chenfeng frowned, "An Ancient Array, is that the Secret Realm Transmission Array?"

Gu Chenfeng swiftly flew to the mountaintop.

"The Secret Realm is opening! We finally waited for this day!"

"What terrifying power! Is this merely the power of the Transmission Array?"

"Opens once every hundred thousand years; there must be countless treasures in the Secret Realm! It's truly exciting!"

"Ancient texts record that the Secret Realm is the site of an Ancient Battlefield, containing Ancient Immortal Artifacts! Many treasures left by ancient powerhouses can be found; with good fortune, one might even obtain the Essence Blood or inheritance of an ancient powerhouse."

The appearance of the white Array caused the powerful entities on the mountaintop to become extremely excited and expectant.

Even powerhouses at the Tribulation Stage were exceptionally excited at this moment.

High up in the sky.

The white Array continuously emanated terrifying power, with an ancient aura almost covering this vast mountain range.

It was unclear how much time passed.

A massive white beam suddenly shot straight up from the white Array, forming an identical white Array in the void above.

"The Secret Realm is open!" someone exclaimed excitedly, ascending first.

The powerful entities from the various sects on the peaks also soared into the sky one after another.
