Chapter 1480: Chapter 1475: Unexpected Event (Part 2)

In a narrow cave next to a canyon, a group of people gathered inside.

Their faces did not look particularly good.

Nearly all of them were weary, downcast, and fearful...

Every one of them was in tattered clothes, through which terrifying injuries could be seen.

However, these injuries were rather complex.

Some were inflicted by humans, and others seemed like claw marks.

This was probably caused by some fierce beasts.

Anyway, this group of people seemed genuinely miserable now.

It seemed that any further blow could make them crumble.

Of course, that’s just a manner of speaking.

In reality, the expressions of three among them clearly showed they were tenacious and unyielding individuals.

There was also a woman among them.

Her aura was not strong, the weakest among those present.

Yet her expression was similar to those unyielding individuals.

To put it simply, there was no despair.

This was quite rare.

Mind you, there were about twenty people in this narrow cave.

For a woman to maintain such resilience amid stronger men, her determination was truly extraordinary.

If Lin Xi were here, he would recognize her.

This person was Lin Yanxia.

So, were the people around her the core disciples of the four families?

No, not all of them.

They were people from three families.

The Lin family, the Bai family, and the Han family.

About four to five kilometers away, six people stood on a small hill.

Among them, five were at the Peak Soldier King level, and the sixth was at a Half-step Innate level.

The Half-step Innate sat down cross-legged.

The five others spread out around them, extremely vigilant.

As soon as the Half-step Innate sat down, the air, murky as it was, suddenly lightened a bit.

The Spiritual Qi in the air increased suddenly.

It all seemed to gravitate towards the person sitting cross-legged.

Obviously, this person intended to break through.

However, if Lin Xi were here,

He could clearly feel that although the Spiritual Qi had increased, the Spiritual Qi within a kilometer or two had significantly decreased.

In fact, the affected area was expanding continuously.

Throughout the entire Secret Realm, apart from these twenty-six people, there was no one else.

This did not match the number of people who entered.

The core disciples of the four families plus some affiliated disciples totaled a hundred people.

The Lin family, as the host of the Secret Realm, did not have any special privileges.

When the other three families’ Secret Realms were open, it was the same.

It was very fair.

No family had any objections.

So the question is?

Where are those people?

There were no other people found in the entire Secret Realm?

If the people are dead, then where are the bodies?

The bodies are nowhere to be found!

This is a bit strange!

Furthermore, the people of the Lin family said there was no danger in the Secret Realm.

The selected disciples were not reckless individuals.

So, no major issues were expected.

Moreover, there were not many places within that posed a significant threat.

They were aware of those places.

They would not go and touch them.

So what has happened these past ten days or so?

Also, why haven’t the people of the Lin family outside noticed the changes within the Secret Realm?

They were monitoring, you know.

Though it wasn’t like a camera, those closed-up ancestors could still sense some changes.

Like, the aura of life.

But not long ago, the Lin family claimed everything was fine.

That was the time when Zhu Ying sensed danger.

The Lin family, for the sake of Lin Xi, went to ask the ancestors.

The ancestor replied that there was no issue.

He even harshly reprimanded the one who asked.

If something was wrong, wouldn’t they sense it?

They have been in seclusion at the entrance for years, and no one researches the Secret Realm deeper than they do.

From this perspective, the safety of the Secret Realm’s entrance was utterly astonishing.

After all, besides the protection from outsiders and the Array, there were also Innate ancestors inside.

In fact, they were wrong.

Zhu Ying was right in sensing it.

Lin Yanxia was in danger.

Something unforeseeable had occurred in the Secret Realm.

Along with some bizarre occurrences.

Typically, the ancestors outside could roughly feel some situations inside, to ensure the core disciples’ safety.

Now, they failed to detect anything.

The Forbidden City!

Lin Xi and Zhu Ying stepped into the grand building.

They toured around, and bought tickets.

However, it was a bit of a pity that even at this time, there were still so many people.

No matter the time, the place seemed always crowded like this.

For this, Lin Xi slightly expanded his aura.

Within nearly a meter around them, no one could come close.

In the dense crowd, that was nothing short of a miracle.

Yet this anomaly went unnoticed by anyone.

Like they considered it the most normal thing.

Actually, Lin Xi was not really interested in these buildings and key sceneries.

Especially as he encountered more and more.

They weren’t as mysterious anymore.

More astonishing things he had seen in the Secret Realm.

It felt like being among an ordinary group in the mortal world.

Then suddenly discovering the existence of cultivators hidden within.

And from the cultivators’ viewpoint, mortals were just ants.

Everything done seemed unsurprising then.

After all, the structures built by those cultivators far exceeded imagination.

On the contrary, Zhu Ying was strongly interested in these ancient buildings and famous spots, as well as places with stories.

It seemed previous worries had completely dissipated under the Lin family’s explanation.

And the constraints at school, the concern over words and deeds, all disappeared.

At this moment, she had completely turned into a little girl full of innocence.

She did whatever she wished, and no one criticized her or commented on it.

There was no need to worry about dangers or such.

She was completely at ease.

Lin Xi, rarely, took out his phone to take pictures of Zhu Ying.

There was no choice; Zhu Ying requested it.

Besides, taking a picture was not a hard task.

As for the result, he was not those clueless men.

Who could make a pretty girlfriend look like a ghost in a photo.

Every photo he took would absolutely receive everyone’s praise.

Angles, poses, capturing moments, all were perfectly in place.

This wasn’t something he was born with.

Not even someone born with it could achieve this.

It was a skill he honed while working as an assassin, needing to take multiple shots of targets to find the right moment.

Slowly, his skills improved.

After all, he was a smart person.

"This one’s great!"

"Change to another position!"

"Yes, tilt your head slightly, lift your hand a bit!"

"With the other hand, press down one side of the skirt!"

"Yes, just like that!"

"...."

Many passersby, hearing Lin Xi’s instructions, would think he was a professional photographer unless they saw him with a fruit phone.

Or perhaps a specialist.

But the fruit phone lowered his image.

It’s like going to a convention and using a phone to take pictures of someone cosplaying; people would simply ignore you.
