Chapter 1031 Rumors
When Li Zhirui stepped out of the teleportation array, he saw several monks with terrified and slightly angry expressions. They activated a talisman that looked extremely high-grade and flew away. It seemed that something big had happened.
‘Have they discovered the secret base and have I robbed it? ’
Li Zhirui’s heart tightened, but his face was calm and calm.
If you think about it carefully, it is quite normal. After all, after entering the secret realm after hundreds of years, you must check the growth status of the spiritual objects, or pick them, or replant them.
Maybe they have discovered it a long time ago, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of the monks, they did not open the teleportation array in advance and waited until today.
However, they must have told the monks guarding the formation, because when Li Zhirui entered the formation, he keenly noticed some inquiring eyes and the breath of spiritual beasts.
Li Zhirui did not continue to think about this matter. Anyway, it is impossible to find out that he did it, unless all the monks who entered the secret realm were arrested! Then interrogate them one by one.
But if it is really so ostentatious, wouldn't it be telling all the cultivators that there is a huge secret hidden here? I think those big forces will not do such a stupid move.
Li Zhirui will enter the secret realm, remove the tens of thousands of high-level spiritual objects and the essence of the five elements, and hand over the 20% of the spiritual objects to the cultivators guarding the formation, and then set off for the immortal city closest to the Thousand Islands Secret Realm, waiting for the secret realm to open tomorrow.
But what he didn't know was how much shock the secret base was exposed and the spiritual objects were looted among the major forces.
"Who did this? Why didn't anyone find out about this?"
Those were tens of thousands of high-level spiritual objects, even if they were scattered immortals, they would feel distressed.
"Reporting to the elder, after the incident in the Five Color Secret Realm, we immediately strengthened our vigilance and arranged a large number of spiritual beasts and exploration methods in the teleportation array. Those daring cultivators will definitely not escape!" A Mahayana cultivator hurriedly bowed and replied.
They all agreed that it was a gang crime. After all, it was impossible for an ordinary cultivator to carry tens of thousands of empty jade boxes and tens of thousands of soul-sealing talismans. Moreover, according to the investigation, the soul soil that was turned out was completed within two days.
Such a large number of soul objects, even if they were divided among several people, would be very easy to find!
In addition to the rare and unpopular Thousand Powder Cotton Flower, they would definitely not be able to escape from the secret realm.
"Humph!"
An elder snorted coldly and said, "They are indeed bold, but they are definitely not stupid! Since they dare to take away all the soul objects, they are definitely not afraid of being discovered. Maybe they have already left the secret realm."
When the Mahayana cultivators heard this, they immediately broke out in cold sweat. They really didn't think so much.
"Okay, let's think about how to deal with the next thing."
The head of the sect asked, "Did Master Wenji figure out anything?"
"No, Master said that the man's secret was covered by a thick fog, and he couldn't dispel it."
Another elder said, "Master, do you think it's possible that those newly promoted fairyland forces did something?"
They vaguely knew some relevant information, or many forces had some intelligence, but it was not accurate enough and there was no evidence.
And they wanted to join in, but were rejected by the original forces, because no one wanted to get less.
Maybe they held a grudge and took action in secret.
And this time, they happened to be discovered by them.
This statement is indeed quite reasonable, and many places can be explained clearly.
"But they shouldn't be so strong that they can hide it from Master Wenji who used the Tianzhang Jiusuan?"
This is the secret treasure of the sect that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the great human immortal who specializes in the way of deduction. With those newly promoted scattered immortals, it is impossible to hide the secret in front of him.
"Go ask other forces if they have deduced any intelligence." The head frowned. If that's the case, then only forces of the same level can do this, or a force with good fortune that has obtained a treasure that conceals the secrets of heaven.
But they could never have imagined that the one who took away the tens of thousands of spiritual objects was just an ant-like combined cultivator!
Just as the major forces were frequently contacting and testing because of the loss of spiritual objects, the 'culprit' had already entered another secret realm.
"There is a large secret base in the Five Colors Secret Realm, so will there be one in the Thousand Islands Secret Realm?"
At this moment, Li Zhirui felt greedy.
But he soon calmed down, because something had happened, and the major forces would definitely strengthen their defenses, and they might put themselves in danger because of greed.
Besides, Li Zhirui didn't know the location of the secret base. He was just lucky to encounter it last time, otherwise it would be impossible to find it.
If he spent several months looking for it, he might still get nothing in the end.
After giving up this idea, Li Zhirui honestly began to look for spiritual objects.
The Thousand Islands Secret Realm is like a vast ocean, with large and small islands scattered in it. On each island, there may be some precious spiritual creatures, or there may be a ferocious monster.
The most dangerous place is the ocean! There are many monsters living in it, including eight-level monsters.
But it also gave birth to a lot of spiritual creatures, more and richer than those on the island!
Except for those who have strong confidence in their own strength, ordinary cultivators dare not go into the water. Anyway, the spiritual objects on the island are not bad, so there is no need to lose their lives for a few spiritual objects.
Li Zhirui did not want to take risks.
If he had not obtained those tens of thousands of high-level spiritual objects, he might have dived into the sea to look for spiritual objects, but now, there is no need for this.
As the saying goes, things will turn around when they reach their extremes!
Li Zhirui felt that his luck could not always be in a good state. Maybe it is at a low point now, so it is better to be cautious.
With this idea in mind, Li Zhirui was very careful in his next actions and did not dare to have any impulse.
But even so, Li Zhirui still encountered danger several times.
It took Li Zhirui a long time to defeat the cultivator who ambushed him next to a seventh-level spiritual object. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw several spiritual lights flying from a distance.
Then they actually fell in front of him, revealing the figures of six combined cultivators.
One of them had serious injuries, and the remaining five surrounded him and Li Zhirui.
"So there are companions! But do you think you can be rescued like this? I tell you, stop dreaming! Hand over the treasure!" A monk who looked ferocious shouted, his eyes full of murderous intent, and attacked the two without hesitation.
"My fellow Taoist, I accidentally got an eighth-level jade dragon ball. As long as you are willing to save me, this dragon ball belongs to you." This man struggled to resist and shouted loudly, hoping that Li Zhirui would save him for the sake of the treasure.
"It's really a disaster from the sky." Li Zhirui didn't expect that he would encounter danger when picking spiritual objects honestly. Seeing that the attack was about to hit him, he had to defend himself.
He was still very interested in the Jade Water Dragon Ball mentioned by this person. If Xiao Cang refined it, his dragon bloodline would be further improved, and maybe he could directly reach the eighth grade extreme, so he said: "Give me the Dragon Ball first, and I will protect you."
"This..."
The cultivator hesitated. They had just met for the first time, and there was no trust between them. He was worried that if he gave the Dragon Ball to Li Zhirui in advance, he would abandon him and leave with the Dragon Ball.
"I can promise you that as long as you can save me, I will thank you with the Dragon Ball after the matter is done."
Li Zhirui just looked at him and didn't speak.
It was obvious that Li Zhirui didn't intend to give in, and didn't make any promises.
Li Zhirui could understand that the other party had concerns, but he also had this consideration, and the initiative was in his hands, why should he give in?
If you believe, help, if you don't believe, just leave directly, and believe that the five cultivators on the opposite side will not stop him.
"Okay." The cultivator who fell into an absolute disadvantage had no room for judgment at all, so he could only agree and send the Dragon Ball to Li Zhirui.
It seemed that the two had been negotiating for a long time, but in fact, it was only a few moments, and the defense they had applied had not been broken.
"Damn it!"
Seeing the deal between the two, the leading monk was very angry, because it meant that Li Zhirui would officially join the battle, and he was his opponent.
In order to get those precious treasures, let alone Li Zhirui joining the battle alone, even if there were a few more monks, he would not give up.
"Why are you still standing there? Get started, quickly get rid of both of them!"
Boom boom boom --
The five monks showed no mercy, and the first move was a killing move, and the sky and the earth changed color.
Li Zhirui felt the terrifying oppression around him, his expression was solemn, and he frantically operated his magic power. While performing defensive magic, he also sacrificed the Thousand Spirits Defense.
Crack!
The attack hit the double defense, and barely held on.
Li Zhirui did not hesitate any more, and immediately mobilized the power of the cave to enhance his own combat power, because he could not beat these five monks alone.
"You should take the time to recover."
Li Zhirui reminded: "I may not be able to hold on for long. If my life is really threatened, I will choose to escape immediately instead of staying to protect you."
He just said protection before, and there was no specific time limit, so Li Zhirui would never stay when he should leave.
But before that, Li Zhirui still kept his promise and tried his best to protect the injured monk.
"What's going on? His strength has become so much stronger in an instant!"
The monk's expression changed slightly, but he did not give up. Instead, he summoned his own life magic weapon, a spiritual sword emitting a strong murderous aura, and slashed at Li Zhirui.
Clang!
The seemingly fragile Qianling actually blocked the attack without any damage.
Li Zhirui persisted for half an hour under the joint attack of five combined monks, and was really powerless in the end.
This battle was too aggrieved for Li Zhirui.
Because he had to protect the monk who was recovering from his injuries, he couldn't devote himself to the battle and could only make some interference, which led to his passive defense.
"My mana is about to run out, so whether you can escape next depends on your ability!"
More than half an hour was enough for him to recover a lot of mana, and Li Zhirui felt that he had tried his best. If he still couldn't escape, it couldn't be blamed on Li Zhirui.
Finally, after holding on for a moment, when the other party responded, Li Zhirui took back Qianling without hesitation and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Why did the person disappear?"
If the injured monk had some means, he would not have been chased for so long.
He took advantage of the moment when the others were stunned and ran away.
"Damn it! Catch up with him, don't let him run away!" the monk shouted angrily.
Several spiritual lights streaked across the sky, chasing the monk at the fastest speed.
In space.
"A frustrating battle, and got an eighth-level dragon ball. This deal is very cost-effective." Li Zhirui admired the dragon ball in his hand.
After appreciating it, he sealed it up and returned to Wanxian Mountain to refine it for Xiao Cang to improve his dragon bloodline.
...
In the following time, Li Zhirui also encountered a series of crises such as being chased by three monks and being trapped by a monster when collecting spiritual objects.
It was precisely because of these frequent accidents that Li Zhirui had no time to collect spiritual objects, so that the final harvest was mediocre.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day when the teleportation array was opened again.
In the past few months, Li Zhirui did not gain much, but it verified his guess that the luck during this period was indeed at a low point.
But now it is slowly returning to normal.
Although Li Zhirui did not find too many spiritual objects in the Thousand Islands Secret Realm, he disclosed a piece of news in a hidden identity the day before the teleportation array was about to be opened.
That is, there is a mysterious land in the secret realm, where many high-level spiritual objects are planted. As long as this place can be found, there is no need to worry about insufficient cultivation resources before becoming an immortal.
If it is just a rumor, there will not be many cultivators who believe it, so Li Zhirui produced strong evidence!
He used ten eighth-level spiritual objects as bait to increase the reliability of the rumor.
The reason why Li Zhirui chose to do this before the teleportation array was opened was naturally because he was worried that they would be caught in the trap. In order to find out the truth and find him, they would block the Thousand Islands Secret Realm.
If those big forces really did this, he would be too dangerous.
So in order to ensure his own safety, Li Zhirui chose this time point.
He didn't think that with only a few days left, those monks who believed in the rumors would find the secret base. Li Zhirui wanted to spread the news through them.
Because many times, when the situation is chaotic, there will be more opportunities.
Before Li Zhirui stepped onto the teleportation array, he thought in his mind: "Now there should be monks who have discovered the rumors and the eighth-level spiritual medicine I left behind? I don't know if they will believe it, and what choice they will make."
