Chapter 150: Chapter 150: From Dutiful Senior Sister to Demon Cultivator 24

Ah Chen and the others watched helplessly as the entrance to the Secret Realm vanished from their sight. They were entangled with Lin Mingxi and couldn’t give chase, clueless about where the Secret Realm might appear next.

Before this, Ying Zhefeng had already taken out his Communication Jade Pendant and broadcasted the news of the Secret Realm.

A message from Ying Jianjun is not something anyone would doubt. Moreover, considering Ying Jianjun’s current status, there’s no reason for him to send false information. Therefore, upon reading the message, the cultivators outside were all astounded, finding it hard to believe that the Lingxiao Secret Realm was originally a realm belonging to the entire Cultivation World.

All of them had the opportunity to enter it.

”Thinking back to how self-righteous the major sects used to act, it’s just shameless!”

”The shamelessness of the Lingxiao Sect is the worst. The predecessors who fixed the Secret Realm back then aimed to destroy demons. No matter what, they genuinely accomplished something and sacrificed their lives for it. But what has the Lingxiao Sect done? Over the years, have you ever heard of the Lingxiao Sect organizing people to eradicate demon cultivators?”

”Don’t even mention the Lingxiao Sect; the other major sects don’t engage in formal actions either. At most, they issue warnings, telling everyone to be wary of demon cultivators and not to let them go if seen. Over the years, the only one who actively took down demon cultivators has been Ying Jianjun.”

”Demon cultivators’ revenge is indeed terrifying. Ying Jianjun is capable and alone, unafraid of retaliation, so he comes and goes freely.”

”I understand the mindset, but if everyone thinks like this, won’t it allow the rise of demon cultivators and replay the tragedies of the past?”

”If it weren’t for my lack of strength, I would become a slayer of evil demon cultivators like Ying Jianjun, sword in hand.”

”You talk the talk, but if you had the ability, you might still be afraid.”

”Afraid of what? Demon cultivators have always been a threat to cultivators. If I don’t kill them today, they might capture or devour me one day. It’s better to kill a few first before something happens. Forget it, there’s no point in arguing with you all. Ying Jianjun said the Secret Realm is now free and can appear anywhere in the Cultivation World. I’m going to find that Secret Realm. If I gain benefits and enhance my cultivation inside, I’ll come out and hunt the evil demon cultivators.”

Just as someone was about to mock him, they heard him say, ”I swear by my Heart Demon.”

Instantly, silence fell, and those who wanted to mock him didn’t know what to say.

This loose cultivator seemed serious?

Who would casually swear by their Heart Demon if not serious?

After the loose cultivator left for a while, others began discussing again, and many dispersed to search for the Secret Realm.

No matter their intentions, the Cultivation World had truly become lively.

The evil demon cultivators also got the news, and for a while, they had no time to catch mortals and cultivators, busy searching for the Secret Realm’s location, each eager to enter first.

Jing Zheng and the other three were discussing this matter, processing all the information silently. It turned out that the Lingxiao Secret Realm had such a secret.

”So this is an opportunity for us too,” Tan Baolin said with a hopeful expression, simultaneously relieved, ”Now I can finally say that I see some hope. Continuing like this, I didn’t know if I could stick to my original intentions.”

Seeing Jing Zheng looking at him, he shook his head helplessly, ”You all know that honest demon cultivators like us aren’t accepted by cultivators, nor by those evil demon cultivators. Survival has been incredibly difficult. Those who feed on cultivators advance swiftly, and though we also progress fast, we can never catch up. If spotted, they would eradicate us. All these years, I’ve been living quite a struggle. On one hand, telling myself not to fall into that, because once chosen, there’s no chance to become immortal. Demon cultivators should live freely, yet I live in hiding, feeling truly suppressed and hurt inside.”

”Sometimes I think, why not just throw caution to the wind and enjoy a carefree life, living one day at a time.”

Meng Yue chimed in, ”That’s a dangerous thought.”

”I know,” Tan Baolin said, ”If it weren’t for your companionship, I might have already fallen. Fortunately, I met you. Otherwise, I might have become unrecognizable or already been slain by Ying Jianjun.”

Liang Xiang sighed, ”Actually, I’m not so different from you.”

But now with the Secret Realm, not only do cultivators see hope, but so do we honest demon cultivators.

Jing Zheng said, ”You two should really temper your minds from now on. Even if you feel relieved, the Heart Demon may have already formed. If you’re not careful, during Tribulation, you might falter at the Heart Tribulation stage. We’ve known each other for many years; I hope you don’t fall under the thunder tribulation. And of course, I don’t want to see you on the opposite side.”

”If that day comes, I won’t wait for Ying Jianjun to act, I’ll take you down myself.”

Tan Baolin and Liang Xiang exchanged a glance and smiled in agreement. The Sect Master’s demeanor may be cold, but he has a warm heart.

Suddenly, Liang Xiang asked, ”Sect Master, is it true that you’re fond of Yun Chen?”

Jing Zheng glanced at her and said calmly, ”If you’re so curious, why not go look for the Secret Realm instead?”

What if I am?

She’s not interested in him.

She and Ying Jianjun are a good match, so why bother bringing rejection and annoyance? Sometimes, people just lack a little fate.

Even though he met her first.

But that was many years ago.

Back then, it was just a fleeting encounter. She was brought back by Zou Yi to the Sect, and he was still a little beggar in a ruined temple. She took pity on him and gave him a bun.

Later, by chance, he became a demon cultivator and grew rapidly.

As he grew stronger, he and she completely lost their fateful bond.

Eventually, she also became a demon cultivator, and he felt a secret joy. But then Ying Zhefeng appeared by her side. Clearly, one was a demon cultivator and the other a cultivator, yet they remained unbothered by others’ opinions or objections.

He realized that from the moment he cared about identity, they lost their bond.

No, from the ruined temple, they were destined never to have it.

If asked if he liked her very much, maybe not. It’s just a vague regret of missed opportunities, leaving him with a sense of loss.

He was merely a bit disappointed.

He didn’t know why, but often his mind recalled the moment in the ruined temple when she smiled innocently and handed him the bun. That moment, it seemed, he could never forget.

”Sect Master, look, that seems to be the Secret Realm?” Tan Baolin exclaimed.

Jing Zheng snapped out of it and quickly looked, astonished, ”It really is.”

The four of them jumped into the Secret Realm without hesitation.

As soon as they leapt in, the Secret Realm vanished before their eyes.

Soon after, others who had been chasing it arrived, exasperatedly complaining, ”It ran away again, this Secret Realm! No wonder those cultivators fixed it in place back then; it’s so elusive!”

Back at the Lingxiao Sect, not much time had passed.

Ying Zhefeng’s Communication Jade Pendant continued to buzz with updates from all across the Cultivation World.

”Someone told me they encountered the Secret Realm and were just about to enter,” Ying Zhefeng shared the latest news with Ah Chen.

”Others told me the Secret Realm moves too fast, and they couldn’t catch up, regrettably,” Ying Zhefeng mentioned, eyes twinkling with a hint of amusement, ”It’s said that a group of evil demon cultivators are also searching, but so far no one has heard of them catching up with the Secret Realm.”

Ah Chen pondered, ”Seems the Secret Realm has a bit of intelligence.”

”Moreover, some told me the Secret Realm appeared suddenly beside them. They only had a brief moment to send a message before heading inside,” he added.

”Now the entire Cultivation World knows about the Secret Realm’s existence and origins, more importantly, they understand why I wanted to break the fixed array of the Secret Realm,” Ying Zhefeng spoke in a light tone, ”They won’t misunderstand you anymore.”

Ah Chen smiled, holding his hand, ”I’m really happy.”

Over on the side, Yin Tianyun, still dealing with Lin Mingxi, felt stifled from the anger, a metallic taste in his throat.

Ah Chen tilted her head, glancing at him, ”Yin Sect Master, you don’t seem very happy? You should just letting go, things have come to this, being angry won’t help.”

Yin Tianyun glared at her, as if he could leap over and kill her on the spot.

With Yin Tianyun fuming, Ah Chen’s gaze fell on Lin Mingxi, scrutinizing her.
