Plane: Apostle of the Secret Realm

In the Qinglian Sect's meeting hall, the deputy sect leader and several elders sat together. The aroma of tea overflowed in the hall, but everyone present did not pay attention to the spiritual tea in front of them.

"This time when we entered the secret realm of the Great Dao, our Qinglian Sect lost a total of 370 disciples, including 160 inner disciples, three direct disciples, and the rest were all outer disciples!" an elder sighed.

"Three direct disciples died? What a pity!" Deputy Sect Master Qiu Zonghai couldn't help but sigh.

For any sect, the direct disciples of the elders are the direct lineages that are vigorously cultivated. The future elders and even the sect masters and palace masters will be selected from the direct disciples. It can be said that even if the Qinglian Sect loses [-] outer disciples, it will Qiu Zonghai felt heartbroken to be less than a direct disciple.

At this time, an elder in the hall had a worried look on his face. Among the three direct disciples who died, two of them were his disciples. After decades of careful training, they fell. How could Elder Sun not feel sad!

"Elder Sun, my condolences!" The elder who was close to Elder Sun comforted him in a low voice.

Sun Sidong forced a smile, shook his head and said: "Everyone has his or her own destiny, and their demise is due to their bad luck... It's a pity that Qiao Hai has cultivated the Qinglian Heart Sutra to the peak of the fifth level, and is only half a step away from the sixth level. Zhiyao, who will also be a seed player in the Hundred Meridians Competition in the future, has fallen into the secret realm!"

After cultivating the Green Lotus Heart Sutra to the sixth level, there is a high chance of breaking through to the king level. Even if the sixth level is not broken through, then when it is promoted to the seventh or eighth level, the chance of breakthrough will also increase greatly. However, if the sixth level is not broken through to the king level, Then it may be difficult to break through to the emperor level with the Qinglian Heart Sutra in this life.

"After all, this is the secret realm of the Great Dao. There are great opportunities, but there are also great dangers!" An elder sighed, stroking his beard and shaking his head.

Sun Sidong shook his head and said nothing, his face as gloomy as water. In addition to being the direct disciple of Elder Sun Sidong, Qiao Hai was also his nephew and had been raised as his son. Unexpectedly, he would fall into the secret realm of the avenue this time, which made Sun Sidong very sad. .

"How many direct disciples have returned safely?" Qiu Zonghai asked.

"There are 19 people in total!" Elder Liu, who was in charge of statistics, replied: "After the 19 people returned to the sect, they all began to retreat. So far, no direct disciple has left the retreat."

Qiu Zonghai showed a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Okay, it looks like the harvest is not small!"

Most of the disciples who are able to come back alive from the secret realm of the great avenue have gained something, but the benefits obtained vary greatly. I believe that after this time in the secret realm of the great avenue, the strength of these nineteen direct disciples will be greatly improved.

"Elder Long, I haven't congratulated you yet!" Elder Liu glanced at Sun Sidong, suddenly turned around, smiled and cupped his hands towards Elder Long and said: "The new direct disciple you recruited in the Black Territory seems to have gained a lot. I see that he has broken through to the third level of the Green Lotus Heart Sutra, so congratulations!"

"What, the Green Lotus Heart Sutra has reached the third level? It hasn't been more than a month since he entered the sect, right?" Someone asked in surprise.

The flow of time in the secret realm of the avenue is different from that in the outside world. Everyone in the secret realm has spent almost more than a month, but in the outside world, only three or two days have passed. After all, Xu Feng has only had a mere passing time since he entered the Qinglian Sect. More than 20 days.

Hearing what Elder Liu said, Elder Sun Sidong's face became even more ugly.

"Haha, it's a fluke, it's just a fluke!" Elder Long smiled slightly and said humbly.

"Pay close attention to these nineteen disciples. After they come out of seclusion, a big competition will be held within the sect, and the top ten will be sent out to challenge other sects!" Qiu Zonghai snorted coldly: "Huh, younger disciples Incompetence has caused Qinglian Sect’s Baimai ranking to fall one after another, but no matter how it declines, it is not something that cats and dogs can mess with. This time when we go out to challenge, we must make the Qinglian Sect’s prestige famous!”

Obviously, Qiu Zonghai is angry at the recent challenges from many sects. He must show his strength to the surrounding sects and tell them who is the boss and the sect leader in this area!

……

When Sun Sidong returned to the cave, his anger could no longer be contained, and he smashed a tea cup, a spiritual weapon, to the ground;

"Why did two of my disciples die? Why did you all come back alive? Why, damn it!" Sun Sidong gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.At this moment, a disciple came to the cave to report;
"Master, Master, two outer disciples asked to see them, saying there was news about the death of senior brother Qiao Hai..."

"What, do they know how Hai'er died?" A stern look flashed in Sun Sidong's eyes. After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said, "Let them in."

Soon, two inner disciples walked in obediently.

"Disciple Hu Tong (Zhou Ji) pays homage to Elder Sun!" Hu Tong and Zhou Ji saluted Sun Sidong.

"You two..." Sun Sidong stared at the two of them, feeling that they looked familiar. After a moment, a stern look appeared on Sun Sidong's face, and he snorted: "I remember, you two are Hai'er's followers!"

Thinking of this, a murderous intent appeared on Sun Sidong's face. He stared at the two of them closely and said sternly: "Why, why is Hai'er dead but you two are still alive!"

The aura of a king-level powerhouse instantly filled the entire cave. Hu Tong and Zhou Ji were immediately oppressed by the aura and knelt down on all fours, begging desperately for mercy.

"Elder, spare your life, elder, spare your life, we know who killed Sun Sidong!"

After a while, Sun Sidong restrained his breath, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to see the two of them;

"Say!" Sun Sidong said coldly.

"Senior Brother Qiao's death may be related to Xu Feng!" Hu Tong and Zhou Ji looked at each other and whispered.

"Maybe?" Sun Sidong opened his eyes suddenly, and a bright light flashed in his eyes;
"Elder, please listen to us first and tell us what happened at that time. Please let Elder Sun make your own judgment!" Zhou Ji said.

"Okay!" Sun Sidong nodded and said, "Don't miss out on all the details, and don't make your own subjective judgments. Just describe the scene at that time."

"Elder Sun, it's like this. At that time, we followed Senior Brother Qiao to Black Wind Mountain and encountered a regional mission..." Zhou Ji began to speak slowly.

……

Half an hour later, Zhou Ji and Hu Tong stopped. One said, and the other added. The two of them were so thirsty that they finally finished describing the scene at that time!
"What do you mean? I found that Xu Feng was in the cave of the demon clan at that time, surrounded by big demons, but he did not harm them..." Sun Sidong squinted his eyes and replayed the scene described by the two in his mind. , asked in a low voice: "So you concluded that Xu Feng had chosen the demon clan's camp at that time, and Hai'er was killed by the demon king at that time, the Black Bear Spirit. That's why you suspect that Hai'er's death was related to Xu Feng?"

"Elder Sun, the competition for the regional task standings was fierce at that time!" Zhou Ji explained: "At that time, Senior Brother Qiao's ranking was very close to Xu Feng. Moreover, after Senior Brother Qiao was killed by the Demon King Black Bear Spirit, the Black Bear Spirit and the Many great demons all died inexplicably, and Xu Feng’s ranking was directly promoted to the top of the rankings!”

"Yes, Elder Sun, that Demon King and other big demons must have been killed by Xu Feng. He didn't know what method he used to join the demon clan, but he was still able to kill those monsters to increase his points. Otherwise If so, how could it be such a coincidence?" Hu Tong on the side also said quickly.

"At the very least, Xu Feng has the strength to kill the demon king Black Bear Jing, but he waited until the Black Bear Jing killed Senior Brother Qiao before killing the Black Bear Jing. Isn't this killing someone with a borrowed knife?" Zhou Ji said suddenly.

Upon hearing the words "borrow a knife to kill", Sun Sidong's expression suddenly became ferocious.
