To be honest, Ren Pingsheng also wanted to take the other two pieces of Tortoise Shell with him. However, he had too many concerns. Not to mention the thoughts of the others, just carrying this one piece of Tortoise Shell, which was nearly a yard square, was enough to attract attention. Ren Pingsheng did not want to become a target for others to hunt down.
He believed that this matter would definitely not end like this. Obtaining two pieces of Tortoise Shell was his limit. Although he had three Spatial Bracelets in hand, the internal space of these Spatial Bracelets only held about ten cubic units, just enough to fit one piece. One of the Spatial Bracelets had already stored nearly half of its capacity, leaving insufficient space.
Finding a secluded spot, Ren Pingsheng stored both pieces of Tortoise Shell into his Spatial Bracelet and finally let out a sigh of relief. He recalled that Wu Zhi Dao had only taken one piece earlier; perhaps he had considered this issue as well. Ren Pingsheng did not believe that he also had three Spatial Bracelets like himself.
"Alright, there are still three days until the Azure Wind Secret Realm closes. However, once news of the Tortoise Shell and Profound-Level Cultivation Method leaks out, these three days will likely not be peaceful; it’s better to be cautious," Ren Pingsheng said with a light laugh, already anticipating the chaos of the next three days.
After Ren Pingsheng left, Wu Yang and the other seven wasted no time and exerted all their strength. They felt a sense of urgency; the longer they delayed, the more dangerous it became. They needed to grab the Tortoise Shell and leave immediately, finding a secluded place to hide until the secret realm ended—that was the right course of action.
Eventually, they almost simultaneously obtained their desired Tortoise Shells. Su Xu and Wu Yang directly took their Tortoise Shells and left decisively, not even glancing at the other two pieces.
The remaining six exchanged glances, hesitating with expressions full of struggle. These were all Profound-Level Techniques; everyone knew their value.
That’s how people are—when they didn’t expect something before but now have it, they want even more. Greed is an insatiable desire!
Jiang Buhui from Yunxing Sect reluctantly turned to leave. As for the fellow disciples who had come with him earlier, after being sent off to keep watch around them, they had long been forgotten by him and his two companions. Their minds were entirely focused on the Profound-Level Techniques; they couldn’t care less about anything else.
"Hmph, where do you think you're going? Do you think you can take such techniques?" Jiang Buhui had barely covered ten yards when suddenly a furious roar came from behind him. A sword light shot toward him at an unimaginable speed.
"Not good!" Jiang Buhui thought to himself, regretting not leaving directly like Wu Yang and Su Xu. Now that someone else had arrived, it would be disastrous if he got caught.
Without turning back, he gritted his teeth and raised the Tortoise Shell behind him as a shield. The sword light collided with the Tortoise Shell. The sword light dissipated while the Tortoise Shell remained completely unharmed. Taking advantage of the rebound force from the collision, Jiang Buhui accelerated and vanished into the forest in just two or three flashes.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky this time; don’t let me catch you again," said the newcomer as he landed on the back of an Earth Armored Turtle and glanced at the disappearing Jiang Buhui with a hint of regret.
"Lu Shixiong, you arrived so quickly," Chen Li said with a start upon seeing the person before him, his voice trembling slightly. He felt immense regret for not leaving sooner after obtaining the Tortoise Shell.
"What's wrong? Are you planning to run away if I don't come back?" Lu Quan squinted and asked, his presence as imposing as a mountain, making the few people around him feel uncomfortable.
"I... how could I dare? Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent someone to notify Lu Shixiong. This is the Tortoise Shell we obtained. Originally there were thirteen pieces, we got two, and there are seven left in total."
"So you're saying that six pieces have already been taken away."
"Yes, two from Yunxing Sect, two from Azure Wind Sword Sect, and one from Wu Yang," Chen Li answered honestly. At this moment, he had no other thoughts.
"Oh, this guy actually managed to get a piece. It seems he has some self-awareness and didn't linger here," Lu Quan's eyes shifted slightly, his words sounding like either admiration or sarcasm.
"Alright, let's put away these two Tortoise Shells as well. We should leave quickly. Otherwise, who knows what powerful figures might be attracted here." After carefully examining all seven Tortoise Shells, his eyes glimmered with excitement.
Chen Li and the other five took the remaining two Tortoise Shells into their hands. The six of them quickly left, leaving behind the massive corpse of the Earth Armored Turtle.
Indeed, less than a minute after they left, several groups rushed over. Upon seeing the scene before them, their expressions turned grim. They immediately ordered people to investigate.
Soon, news of the Profound-Level Techniques and Tortoise Shell spread throughout the Azure Wind Secret Realm.
In an instant, the entire secret realm became restless. They stopped searching for Elixir treasures; was there anything greater than Profound-Level Techniques? Everyone shifted their focus and began looking for those carrying Tortoise Shells. Such a large item was easy to recognize.
Before long, someone was spotted—Jiang Buhui from Yunxing Sect. Although he was quite powerful and killed those who discovered him, some still noticed him. Consequently, dozens of disciples from various factions pursued him relentlessly.
"Damn it! Damn it! I hid in such a secret place and still got found," Jiang Buhui cursed angrily while hiding in a tree. Shadows occasionally flickered around him; disciples from the Three Factions were everywhere. He had already been surrounded by these people.
"Ah, over here, quick..." A disciple from Tiger Howl Sect inadvertently spotted Jiang Buhui in the tree. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was engulfed by a flash of sword light and met a gruesome end.
But this commotion attracted the attention of those nearby. More than thirty people quickly surrounded Jiang Buhui, each with greedy expressions as they looked at the Tortoise Shell he carried on his back.
"Ha ha... kill, kill, kill. This Xuan-level martial art is ours." Dozens of people said no more than necessary, each excitedly raising their swords and charging forward. Jiang Buhui's expression immediately changed.
Although he was quite powerful, being besieged by so many people, along with a few experts whose strength was not inferior to his own, made the situation precarious.
"The Xuan-level martial art is mine; no one can take it from me. Whoever tries to steal it, I will kill!" Jiang Buhui was covered in blood, his face frenzied. Seven or eight figures had already fallen before him, lying in pools of blood.
"Don't be afraid; he's injured and won't last long." Someone shouted, instantly provoking the crowd, and chaos erupted once more.
"The Xuan-level martial art is mine; no one... no one can take it from me. Ah..." Just as Jiang Buhui finished off one person with a sword, he was stabbed from the side, the long sword plunging deep into his body.
"You..." Jiang Buhui turned his head to glance, but before he could finish his words, he was pierced by several more swords. His body felt like it had been punctured with a large hole, blood gushing out like a fountain.
"I... the Xuan-level martial art..." He roared, his eyes wide open before losing all breath. The sixth-ranked inner disciple of Yunxing Sect clung to thoughts of the Xuan-level martial art until death, never giving up on that turtle shell. Was it worth losing his life for this?
"The turtle shell and the Xuan-level martial art are mine now." The first person who stabbed Jiang Buhui trembled as he picked up the turtle shell, overwhelmed with excitement. The Xuan-level martial art was finally in hand.
"You... you actually attacked me." Before he could carefully examine the contents on it, he was stabbed through from behind. The attacker was a friend he had been working with all along.
"Foolish, to have no defenses at all. The Xuan-level martial art is not something you can touch." The man sneered, but upon seeing the turtle shell, his expression became similar.
"The turtle shell is mine; no one can take it." The remaining nearly twenty people also reacted and crazily rushed toward the turtle shell.
Amidst the flashing blades and flying flesh, lives were extinguished. They were blinded by rage; anyone who approached the turtle shell was mercilessly attacked.
In the end, out of more than thirty people, only three remained alive, all severely injured. Looking at the turtle shell and everything before them made them shudder.
Stimulated by greed, they gradually regained their senses and then disregarded the turtle shell. They fled like madmen as if escaping from demons.
The Tortoise Shell was quickly taken by others, sparking a bloody storm in the secret realm. The number of people who lost their lives in the struggle reached as many as forty or fifty.
In the end, the Tortoise Shell mysteriously disappeared, and it was unknown who the lucky person was that obtained it and hid it away. No further news emerged.
Just when everyone thought the remaining two days would be calmer, news spread that Su Xu from the Azure Wind Sword Sect, who had obtained the Tortoise Shell, was discovered.
However, this time after being surrounded, Su Xu boldly threw the Tortoise Shell into the crowd and left gracefully. Many were stunned, not expecting him to be so carefree. After all, it was a Profound-Level Cultivation Method, and he just tossed it away without a second thought.
But for them, this was good news. Su Xu was ranked second among the Inner Sect Disciples of the Azure Wind Sword Sect, and his strength was several levels above that of the previous Jiang Buhui. If a fight broke out, it was hard to say how many would perish.
Yet even so, the situation did not improve much. While Su Xu was carefree, others could not do the same. Thus began another round of fighting and slaughter. Corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.
After the Tortoise Shell was hastily taken away, a large number of Fierce Beasts were attracted to the area. In their struggle for food, another wave of killings ensued.
The slaughter between humans and the slaughter among Fierce Beasts. In no time, the entire Azure Wind Secret Realm gradually became shrouded in blood.
In the central area of the Azure Wind Secret Realm, there was an Octagonal Altar. On top of the altar sat a skeletal figure, translucent like white jade.
The blood energy generated from the killings throughout the Azure Wind Secret Realm continuously flowed into the altar and merged with the skeleton. A flash of red light appeared on the skeleton, and the blood energy that lingered around it vanished. The bones seemed to become even more translucent.
"Hehe... kill! The more slaughter, the better. Just a few copies of Profound-Level Cultivation Method, and such results are truly interesting." The skeleton suddenly began to speak in a bizarre manner.
"In at most another hundred years, I will be free. It has already been two thousand years; I have waited too long. I hope you won’t disappoint me and continue to live well."
