Chu Bei seemed to have thought of something and his expression became extremely serious as he said to Xia Hanyan and Liu Fei, "Regarding my strength, I hope that you can keep it a secret for me."
Xia Hanyan looked at Chu Bei in confusion, "With your cultivation as a Two Stars military general, you can rightfully assume the position of Sect Leader. By then, it will also crush Great Elder's ambition. "
Chu Bei shook his head, "Now is not the time to expose myself."
"Why?" Xia Hanyan's eyes were filled with confusion.
"This concerns the old man's death." Chu Bei said calmly.
"You mean the death of Sect Leader is related to …" Liu Fei took a deep breath and before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chu Bei who gestured for him to keep quiet.
"You just have to promise me to keep it a secret and leave the rest to me." Chu Bei continued.
Fifteen minutes later.
The group of disciples successfully buried Liu Bei and the other two and surrounded Chu Bei.
With Liu Bei dead, Chu Bei's seniority was the highest.
"Young Martial Uncle, Ninth Elder is dead. Should we continue to search for the Illusory Realm Seed or return to the Sect?" A disciple asked.
"Of course we should continue! Ninth Senior Brother is dead but don't we still have Teacher Xia? "
Chu Bei pointed to Xia Hanyan and said, "Even if we are no match for the other forces, this does not prevent us from joining in the fun. If we are lucky, what if we can get the seed? Even if we are not fated to get the seed, we can still watch an exciting show when they fight. ‘
"Hearing Young Martial Uncle's words, it does make sense." Under Chu Bei's bewitchment, the group of disciples nodded their heads in agreement.
Hence, with Chu Bei as the leader, the group continued on their journey and headed towards the depths of the historical remains.
Heading east, they passed through the mountains and forests and passed through a piece of barren land.
Finally, Chu Bei and the group came to a vast flat area.
Although there were very few trees here, the Yuan Qi between heaven and earth was getting denser.
There were countless ancient buildings in this area. Looking from afar, most of the ancient buildings were dilapidated, and there were very few that were intact.
Some of the buildings were like Lord Dog's Palace, which had turned into ruins. Even so, from the pile of rubble that was piled up like a small hill, one could still imagine how magnificent it used to be.
"Is this really an illusion? There were actually so many buildings. Could it be that someone had once lived in this illusory realm? And from the looks of it, there are quite a few of them! "Liu Fei couldn't help but say as he swept his gaze across the buildings.
Xia Hanyan remained silent. Liu Fei's doubts were exactly what she was thinking about.
"Do you think that could be the Seed of Illusion we're looking for?" Chu Bei suddenly asked.
Hearing Chu Bei's words, everyone looked in the direction of Chu Bei's finger.
Almost in an instant, everyone's faces were filled with joy and excitement.
To the east of the buildings, there was a huge bald mountain. There were no trees in the mountain, nor were there any fierce beasts.
Around the bald mountain, there were countless ancient buildings scattered. Above the ring-shaped mountain pass, flames shot up into the sky. Although they were far away, they could still hear the roaring of the boiling magma. Although the agitated magma was still in the mountain pass and had not flowed out, it was already very frightening. Half the sky in the distance was burning red.
Above the volcanic crater, a blob of red light floated. It shone brightly as terrifying electric arcs surrounded it.
The bald mountain was very tall. When Chu Bei and company arrived at the ring-shaped mountain pass, the ancient buildings below were already the size of ants.
"Chu Bei, they are all here." Xia Hanyan pursed her lips and said.
At present, Li Fire Sect's Zhu Yi, Divine Sword Sect's Quan Guang, Luo Water Sect's Xie Hong and the Sacred region's Han Yang were all here.
At this moment, they were scattered around the ring-shaped mountain pass, staring intently at the red light above the mountain pass.
Although their eyes were burning, strangely, no one made a move to snatch the illusion seed above the mountain pass.
The arrival of Chu Bei and company quickly became the focus of the other four factions.
"Oh? Why are you the only ones here? Where's your Ninth Elder? " Li Fire Sect's Zhu Yi frowned. His gaze landed on Chu Bei as he inquired about Liu Bei's whereabouts. His eyes were filled with confusion.
Chu Bei said with a sad look, "Ninth Senior Brother encountered a fierce beast on the way here. He was no match for it and died tragically."
After receiving Chu Bei's answer, Zhu Yi, Quan Guang and company looked at each other. On the way here, they did not even see the corpse of a bird, much less a fierce beast.
However, Zhu Yi did not continue asking. To them, Liu Bei's death meant that they had one less competitor.
This was a good thing.
"Auntie Hong, this should be the illusion seed, right?" Chu Bei pointed at the red light above the mountain pass and looked at Xie Hong with a puzzled look, "Why aren't any of you taking action?"
"It's not time yet." Xie Hong glanced at the red light and shook her head, "Besides, this illusion seed doesn't seem to be as easy to obtain as we thought."
Just as Xie Hong's voice faded, the red light suddenly grew larger and more blinding. Furthermore, it suddenly emitted a sizzling sound.
Under everyone's gaze, the red light changed and following that, an object the size of a fist and the shape of a walnut vaguely appeared.
"So this is what the illusion seed looks like. It's really eye-opening." Liu Fei said as he stared at the 'walnut' in the red light.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the illusion seed spewed out a blazing flame. As the flame burned, a series of rumbling sounds resounded. At the same time, a crimson beam of light shot into the sky.
In a short moment, half the sky above the volcano was dyed crimson.
"Everyone, the illusion seed is right in front of you. Who wants to give it a try?" Quan Guang took a step forward and looked at the crowd as he said lightly.
"Since you have suggested it, I'll let you have the chance first." Xie Hong said with a smile.
Feeling the strange energy released by the illusion seed, Quan Guang smiled embarrassedly and his gaze fell on Zhu Yi, "Well … Brother Zhu arrived first. According to the rules, first come, first served. Brother Zhu will go first."
Looking at Quan Guang and the others who were trying to avoid each other, Chu Bei cursed in his heart. They were all old foxes.
In the situation where they had not figured out the illusion seed, no one was willing to go first. They were all waiting for each other to be the guinea pig.
"Forget it. Let me test it out first."
After a long stalemate, Zhu Yi sighed and jumped up with the long spear in his hand. Both of his feet tapped on the void.
Then, with a wave of the long spear, the sound of the spear was crisp and cold. A translucent icicle was instantly shot out from the tip of the spear.
The icicle was so fast that it appeared in front of the illusion seed in the blink of an eye. In the next moment, the icicle pierced the gap in the shell of the illusion seed.
"Come back!"
Zhu Yi shouted and flicked the long spear in his hand. The icicle that pierced the illusion seed seemed to have a mind of its own. It changed direction and went straight to Zhu Yi with the illusion seed.
