"After watching this play for so long, aren't you tired of it?" Ye Feng said to Leiting with dissatisfaction.
Leiting, showing no signs of embarrassment, smiled and replied, "The beasts at the Fifth Stage are not like those at the Sixth Rank. You can handle it all by yourself; there's no need for me to step in!"
Ye Feng brushed off the dirt from his clothes with a cold snort and stopped talking. The disciples from the Primordial Court looked grateful, and one man dressed in a black long coat said, "Thank you both! If it weren't for you, all five of us would probably have died here!"
Curious, Ye Feng asked, "Why did you provoke this beast? Was it for its inner core?"
The man exchanged glances with the others, their eyes filled with helplessness. He then sighed and said, "It's not that we provoked it; it came after us first. When we entered the secret realm, our elders instructed us not to provoke any beasts within and to avoid conflicts with disciples from other sects. We kept that in mind. However, we didn't expect someone to follow us from the moment we entered. While it could have been another sect's disciple, we didn't pay much attention to it. But then that person disappeared, and the beast appeared. I can't understand what happened. Normally, as long as you don't provoke a beast, it won't attack you easily, but today is just strange!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng understood the situation somewhat but was still puzzled about who could know their whereabouts as soon as they entered the secret realm and follow them.
Logically speaking, disciples from Flowing Cloud Villa and Fengyu Holy Institute shouldn't have such abilities. Could there be others in this secret realm?
Thinking about this made Ye Feng's head spin!
He initially thought it was just a simple trial; who would have expected so many complications?
There were so many people seeking his cooperation and help; he really felt overwhelmed!
"You said someone was following you?" Leiting asked in surprise.
The man nodded and said, "Yes, this person's cultivation seems much higher than ours. They followed us from behind but didn't attack us, so we didn't pay much attention. The trial is about gathering resources, so we kept looking for rare herbs! Who would have thought something like this would happen? Our Primordial Court sent out ten disciples; it's only the first day, and five are already dead while two are severely injured. We really don't have the strength to continue competing in this trial."
"Five dead?" Ye Feng was completely shocked this time. Weren't there only five people here? How could five have died?
"That's right. Earlier there were two more along with a beast. My senior brothers had higher cultivation levels; they fought against that beast together but unfortunately were all killed. However, after killing my senior brothers, that beast seemed uninterested in us and didn't help that lion deal with us. By the time you arrived, we had already been fighting for quite a while; we weren't originally here!" another disciple from Primordial Court added.
Ye Feng now felt that things were much more serious.
He glanced at Leiting, who also lowered his head as if deep in thought.
"So what do you plan to do next?" Ye Feng temporarily set aside his thoughts and asked.
The disciple then lifted the two severely injured ones and said helplessly, "We plan to find a safe place to help our injured brothers recover properly. If we can gather rare herbs afterward, we'll do so; if not, we'll leave early when the secret realm opens."
Ye Feng understood their mindset at this moment and guessed that the disciples from Primordial Court must possess more strength than they showed. Their senior brother likely had considerable power too; yet even five of them together were killed by a beast. Just how strong was that beast?
Could it be the Sixth Rank or the Seventh Level?
The sudden thought that flashed through Ye Feng's mind filled him with dread. Sixth Rank and Seventh Level beasts were incredibly powerful. If it were a Sixth Rank beast, he might still have a chance to fight, but if it were a Seventh Level beast, he and Leiting would have no chance of confronting it. In that case, the only option would be to flee.
A Seventh Level beast cannot be confronted without reaching the Gangwu Realm!
"In that case, you all should be careful. By the way, didn't your sect inform you that obtaining the inner cores of beasts counts as resources for this trial?" Ye Feng suddenly asked.
One disciple replied, "Of course we know that. However, before we came out, our master instructed us that the beasts in the secret realm are not ordinary, and it's best not to provoke them. That's why we didn't consider that."
Ye Feng nodded.
After bidding farewell to several disciples from the Primordial Court, Ye Feng and Leiting continued on their way.
"Why not take them with us? If disciples from Flowing Cloud Villa or Fengyu Holy Institute attack them, they will surely die!" Leiting said with a frown.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I have a bad feeling about this. The trials in this secret realm are likely far more complicated than we imagined. It seems that things have already gone beyond many people's control. The fact that you were able to enter is already a variable. Even Prince Ning and the others probably don't know that there is an extra person in this trial! Moreover, since entering the secret realm, there has been an unusual atmosphere. Who exactly is the person following the Primordial Court? They cannot be a disciple of the Nine Sects; those disciples would definitely be looking for their own sect members. I also vaguely feel that even if they can't determine each other's locations, disciples from the same sect won't stray too far apart. Otherwise, the disciples of the Primordial Court wouldn't have gathered so quickly. Items that can locate others are extremely rare, and your Lei Family doesn't possess any. This raises another question: where did you get the jade pendant you gave me? Don't say it's from your Lei Family; that's impossible. Also, is your purpose for coming into this secret realm really just as you said, with no other motives? I don't believe it. So Leiting, there are still many suspicions between us. I believe there are things you know that I don't; you're just unwilling to share them right now!"
Leiting pressed her lips together and said, "I do have other purposes, but I can't tell you right now. All I can say is that cooperating with you is completely genuine. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Besides, we only met with disciples from the Primordial Court and listened to their one-sided story; don't you think that's a bit hasty? Perhaps no one was actually following them; they might have wanted to kill the Heavenly Lion Beast but ended up being killed by it instead and made up this ridiculous story."
"And what about their purpose?" Ye Feng countered. "Is it just to save face by deceiving us? Don't you think that's rather childish? Also, regarding your relationship with Carefree Master, I don't want to elaborate on it. Since he sent you in here to find something, then take your time searching. We can part ways here; I need to find Ning Ruoxue while you look for your things. As for those disciples from the Primordial Court, if you want to protect them, I won't stop you, but I absolutely won't intervene!"
After saying this, Ye Feng ignored whatever reaction Leiting had and walked straight ahead without looking back.
"Hey!" Leiting shouted and hurriedly followed him.
At this moment, Leiting felt quite uneasy because when Ye Feng mentioned Carefree Master, she was certain that aside from her and Carefree Master himself, no one else should know that name.
The instant Ye Feng mentioned Carefree Master, a murderous intent instinctively flashed through Leiting's mind but was quickly suppressed!
She considered herself relatively intelligent; perhaps Ye Feng knowing about Carefree Master indicated some connection between them!
Thus, regardless of Ye Feng's attitude at this moment, she hurriedly followed him.
However, Ye Feng had no intention of acknowledging her! This woman was very arrogant and seemed confident about everything; he found her attitude most displeasing and wanted to deflate Leiting's pride.
"Why are you acting like this? I should be the one getting angry! How can a big man like you be so petty?" Seeing that Ye Feng completely ignored her, Leiting shouted!
Ye Feng stopped and said softly, "Then go ahead and get angry!"
"You!" Leiting was on the verge of losing it; how could there be such a bizarre man in this world!
"If you’re not allowed to get angry, then am I not allowed to be angry?" Ye Feng felt confused.
"Carefree Master is my mentor. I came here to help him find something. Are you satisfied now?" Leiting shouted.
Ye Feng slightly smiled and said, "What's so hard to say about this? Let me ask you, is what you told me about Prince Ning wanting to deal with our Dragon Tiger Sect true or false?"
Leiting was so angry he was stomping his feet. "Half true, half false! He indeed wants to deal with you guys from Dragon Tiger Sect, but this is just the beginning of the plan. What I told you is true; the disciples from Flowing Cloud Villa and Fengyu Holy Institute received orders to kill any disciples from Dragon Tiger Sect they can. If they can't kill them, they must find a way to ensure that the disciples from Dragon Tiger Sect don't achieve good rankings in this trial. Of course, when I say 'disciples from Dragon Tiger Sect,' I mean you few. As for the disciples under Jiang Shiji and Li Xingqi, they won't make things difficult for you."
Ye Feng nodded and continued to ask, "You know so much about our Dragon Tiger Sect because Prince Ning's people are constantly providing you with information?"
Leiting shook his head and said, "You're mistaken. I have my own intelligence network; otherwise, how would I know that you killed three people from Flowing Cloud Villa in the town? However, what puzzles me is that logically, the people from Flowing Cloud Villa should know it was you who killed them. Why haven’t they come after you?"
Ye Feng replied, "It's not that they won't come after me; they probably intend to find trouble with me in this secret realm!"
