The location of this Azure Wind Secret Realm opening is in an inconspicuous valley at the edge of Canglan Mountain. At this moment, hundreds of people are gathered in the valley, consisting of the Elders and disciples from the Yunxing Sect and Tiger Howl Sect.
"Why haven't the people from Azure Wind Sword Sect arrived yet? They're dragging their feet," muttered the Elder leading the Tiger Howl Sect with some dissatisfaction.
"Haha, Elder Yang, don't be anxious. Azure Wind Sword Sect is the closest to here, so it's understandable if they arrive a bit late. Besides, this Azure Wind Secret Realm won't open for a while yet!" said an Elder from Yunxing Sect with a smile, showing no signs of impatience.
"I didn't expect you all to arrive so early." The voice came from afar. Vice Master Bai of the Azure Wind Sword Sect led a hundred Inner Sect Disciples to the valley's entrance. The large boat-shaped magical artifact quickly shrank down and vanished with a flicker into his sleeve.
"Haha, I didn't expect that this time Azure Wind Sword Sect would be represented by Vice Master Bai. It's been a long time since we last met," greeted an Elder from Yunxing Sect who was somewhat familiar with him.
"So it’s Shen Elder from Yunxing Sect. It’s truly been a while; your cultivation seems to have improved significantly," replied Vice Master Bai, cupping his hands in salute and smiling.
"Not at all; compared to Vice Master Bai, I'm still far behind."
As for Elder Yang from Tiger Howl Sect, upon seeing the arrival of Azure Wind Sword Sect, he remained silent, his previous dissatisfaction fading away as he realized his cultivation was considerably lower.
The hundred Inner Sect Disciples from the three factions were sizing each other up. Once they entered, they might become enemies, making this a good opportunity for observation.
Ren Pingsheng also observed the two factions' Inner Sect Disciples and noticed some familiar faces. He had recently seen Wu Yang and Qian Xin from Tiger Howl Sect. From Yunxing Sect, he spotted Wu Zhi Dao, whom he had encountered earlier in Wanzang Valley. He didn't expect to see him again; truly, life is full of unexpected reunions.
This made Ren Pingsheng recall the scene of competing for the Yin Soul Fruit in Wanzang Valley. It seemed that he had escaped unscathed and even made a breakthrough in his cultivation. He just wondered if that Yin Soul Fruit had been consumed by him.
It appeared that Wu Zhi Dao also noticed Ren Pingsheng, waving at him from not far away, drawing considerable attention.
"Is that the person you mentioned last time?" asked a tall man from the side of Tiger Howl Sect in a low voice.
"Lu Shixiong, that's him. His name is Ren Pingsheng, and his strength is formidable. I was defeated by him back then," confirmed Wu Yang, nodding firmly, though his expression still looked somewhat grim.
"The order from Elder Zhao is that any disciple of our sect who kills him will be rewarded with a copy of Advanced Swordsmanship, a High-Level Body Technique, and some Elixirs. This is quite a price; do you know the reason behind it?"
"I'm not sure about that. The last time I visited Azure Wind Sword Sect, my master was doing well. However, I heard that Brother Zhuo was murdered six months ago; I wonder if that could be the reason."
"Oh, I've heard some things about that. I'll give the order to pursue this person with full force once we enter the secret realm. If we can't handle him, we'll just let it go for now; I'm quite interested in him. I hope to encounter him then." Lu Shixiong glanced at Ren Pingsheng in the distance with interest.
"What keen perception! Interesting." Ren Pingsheng turned his head upon sensing the gaze directed at him and whispered in surprise.
"Haha, if Lu Shixiong is involved, it will be an easy task!" Wu Yang said with a broad smile. This person was much stronger than him, being the top Inner Sect Disciple of Tiger Howl Sect.
"Alright, if I encounter this person, I will naturally deal with him. You remind the others to be cautious and keep an eye on him."
Wu Yang nodded and left with a happy expression. He was already envisioning everything after completing this mission, feeling overjoyed.
"Haha, kid, let's see if you can survive this time. I will make sure to repay you for your previous encounter. I really have to thank you for killing Zhao Zhuo; however, I need your help once more this time. My master promised that as long as you die, it would be easy for me to become a Warrior Strongman."
"Very well, this time I can resolve some matters." After surveying the surroundings, Ren Pingsheng stood quietly, his eyes somewhat vacant as he struggled to find focus. At this moment, he was deep in thought.
"Huang Feng has also arrived; it seems he couldn't resist temptation. This is a good opportunity to understand this situation and fulfill a wish of mine. As for Huang Qing, he won't stir up much trouble; I'll deal with him another time."
"Fortunately, Chu Xiao has come to his senses; otherwise, if he had insisted on coming along, it would have been dangerous this time. All three hundred disciples from various sects are at the Refining Qi Ninth Layer; there are none at the Eighth Layer of Qi Refinement." Ren Pingsheng recalled how Chu Xiao had specifically come to tell him before their departure that he wouldn't be going and wanted to focus on his cultivation during this period.
"However, that man I glimpsed earlier has decent strength. Since he is with Wu Yang, I'll need to keep an eye on him once we enter the secret realm."
As time passed slowly, about an hour later, a crack appeared in the valley like a tear in the sky.
The crack gradually widened until it formed a portal three zhang wide and long, ripples spreading through the air until it stabilized completely after about a quarter of an hour.
"Alright, the entrance to Azure Wind Sword Sect has appeared. This entrance will only exist for half an hour; you all should hurry inside. Remember what I've said before: stay united. Be cautious when encountering people from other sects. Any rewards you don't need should be handed over to the sect; they will compensate you. Whether it's martial arts techniques or other items, make sure to survive and come back."
Vice Master Bai looked at the one hundred Inner Sect Disciples and solemnly advised, "Alright, you may go now. I hope you all return safely."
The other two sects were in a similar situation, with the Elders giving instructions to their disciples. Seeing the expressions on the disciples' faces, it was clear that they were being warned about dangers and survival.
Due to their position, the disciples of Tiger Howl Sect were closest and entered first. The portal could accommodate a dozen people at a time. In just a few breaths, the disciples of Tiger Howl Sect had mostly entered.
As Wu Yang stepped through the portal, he deliberately turned back to glance at Ren Pingsheng and flashed a grin. His expression was reminiscent of a wolf eyeing its prey, clearly saying, "We'll see."
"I hope you don't provoke me! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you on your way; this place is also a nice burial ground," Ren Pingsheng replied with a faint smile, not taking it to heart.
"You all should go in as well. Remember to return to the entrance in fifteen days. If you're trapped inside, there will only be one way out—death." Vice Master Bai waved his hand as he watched the disciples from Azure Wind Sword Sect enter the portal.
"I wonder how many will survive this time. For those who live, it's an opportunity; for those who die, isn't it a tragedy?"
Watching all the Azure Wind Sword Sect members enter, he quietly sat down, waiting for the reopening of Azure Wind Secret Realm in fifteen days.
In a moment of disorientation, it felt as if the world was spinning. When Ren Pingsheng regained his senses, he found himself inside Azure Wind Secret Realm.
Before he could react, he felt a foul wind rush toward him. Startled but quick to respond, he blurred and dodged to the side. However, just as he appeared elsewhere, another foul wind came rushing at him from the front.
"How is this possible..." He was somewhat shocked; he had confidence in his Movement Technique, yet this creature's speed was not any slower than his own.
Without much time to think, he retreated again and drew his sword. With a gentle thrust forward, he unleashed a fierce force that halted the approaching creature momentarily. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Ren Pingsheng reappeared five zhang away.
This time, the creature did not pursue him further. Ren Pingsheng took the chance to survey his surroundings; he was in a valley filled with flowers and trees arranged beautifully—the scenery looked quite pleasant. He soon realized that the creature that had attacked him was a giant wolf, towering in size—a clear high-level Fierce Beast.
Ren Pingsheng's expression darkened slightly. Upon entering the Azure Wind Secret Realm's portal, one would be randomly teleported to a certain location within the secret realm. If luck was on their side, they might end up near their fellow sect members or even close to some rare treasures. However, if luck was bad, they could find themselves alone.
The worst scenarios were being teleported into a dangerous area and getting trapped or ending up right in front of a Fierce Beast like he currently was—where death could come swiftly.
Fortunately, his reaction was quick. To put it bluntly, if it had been someone else, they might have lost their life in a daze.
"Heaven, while I don't expect you to teleport me directly to those heavenly treasures, could you at least not toy with me like this? My life can't withstand such torment," Ren Pingsheng cursed inwardly, feeling quite speechless. He never expected to encounter such misfortune.
"Awoo..." The giant wolf saw Ren Pingsheng turning his head to look around and let out a furious roar, pouncing once again. In the air, only a shadow remained, and its sharp claws glimmered coldly as they approached him.
"Indeed fast," Ren Pingsheng thought, "but now that I'm prepared, you still want to stir up trouble." With a flick of his sword, he blocked the giant wolf's claws. His body swayed to avoid another claw's attack.
After the giant wolf's attack failed and it landed, it pushed off the ground with its four legs and retreated while turning around to bite at Ren Pingsheng's neck. Its long fangs were like two sharp daggers capable of severing anything.
"Hmph, what a cunning fellow," Ren Pingsheng remarked as he saw the giant wolf lunging forward without attempting to dodge. He swiftly thrust his longsword towards the wolf's eyes.
The giant wolf maintained its forward momentum and raised its sharp claw to swipe at the longsword. Its fangs were still aimed at Ren Pingsheng's neck, intent on delivering a fatal blow with ferocity.
Ren Pingsheng smiled lightly; with a flick of his longsword, he evaded the giant wolf's claws while continuing to target its eyes. His movements were fast, precise, and ruthless, leaving no chance for the giant wolf to retaliate.
"Now you want to escape? It's too late." He noticed the fear in the giant wolf's eyes as it desperately twisted its head to one side in an attempt to evade this attack. Unfortunately, its body was in mid-air, allowing for only a small range of motion.
Ren Pingsheng lowered his thrusting sword, redirecting his attack towards the giant wolf's throat. With a single thrust, the explosive force of the Seven Star Sword Technique erupted instantly, creating a blood hole the size of a thumb in its throat.
The giant wolf let out a mournful howl and struggled on the ground for a few moments before losing its breath.
