ediately nodded in agreement. She returned to the beach and called out twice, after a while, eight handsome and strong male mermen joined the ranks of building houses.The foundation of the stilt house...Ripple touched the vortex's head and spoke her thoughts.

"It's not that easy."

Li Qianqian frowned, but she stopped halfway through her sentence. Just now, someone had disguised themselves as Mo Shixiong and attacked their senior sister. This happened with witnesses, proving that the evil cultivators had indeed started attacking the sect disciples.

"Big Sister, what are we going to do"

Mo Wanfeng is the most worrying one. If the other party kills disciples of other sects wearing his skin, he will definitely take the blame for it.

"Send a message to the disciples of Yunchian Sect, asking them to gather as much as possible."

"I think it's better to separate for now. If we gather together, we'll be easily wiped out by the other side. After all, you can't tell who among your own people is the problem."

Liàn Yī couldn't help but speak up, reminding her.

"My friend is right, I still don't know how to address you"

Ran MiaoLan bowed.

"My name is Qiao Lianyi, and I am a direct disciple of the Wuyun Sect."

Before the ripples, Lian Yi met Ran Miaolan using a different face and alias, so this time it was truly their first meeting.

"I know you. You are the daughter of the Sect Master of Wu Yun Sect. Didn't you abolish your cultivation"

Li Qiqi finally matched her name with the one in the rumors.

"That's me. Even if my cultivation is gone, I can still cultivate it again."

Ripple smiled and said.

Ruan Miaolan glared at Li Qianqian. She really knew how to stir up trouble, saying these things in front of the other person. What was she thinking

" Qiao Dao You, was Li Shi Mei's disrespect."

"It's alright, what she said is true. I'm not one who can't stand the truth. You guys continue chatting. I need to pass a message to the disciples of Wuyun sect and have them spread the word as quickly as possible so everyone can be more vigilant."

The ripples didn't care and immediately took out her transmission jade slip, sending a message about the appearance of evil cultivators in the secret realm. She also stated that the other party would disguise themselves as disciples from their sect to attack people, urging everyone to be vigilant.

"My fellow brethren, I too must go and join my kin. I shall not accompany you all further. Farewell, and may you all journey safely."

After bidding farewell to the three, ripples continued on towards the location of the lightning-struck tree.

At this moment, the treasure-hunting cultivators in the secret realm all received a warning message. They were taken aback and felt that this trip to the secret realm was too dangerous. Besides having to guard against high-level monster beasts and various traps within the secret realm, they also had to beware of other cultivators. Now they even had to be on guard against evil cultivators. No one knew how these evil cultivators managed to infiltrate the secret realm.

Within the secret realm, disciples' communication jade slips flashed incessantly. Everyone quickly reinforced their defenses and discussed coded messages or ciphers. After all, disguise is just a facade; there must be flaws.

While ripples was on her way to the destination, she kept glancing at the jade slip containing messages. It seemed that these disciples of various sects were indeed quite capable. Someone had already exposed the disguised demonic cultivator and a joint extermination operation was underway.

Suddenly, a message appeared in the jade slip, requesting help. The sender was being pursued by evil cultivators and was fleeing in the direction right towards Ripples.

In less than a minute, the ripples sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy. The other party seemed to have also discovered the ripples, their eyes lit up, and they immediately shouted:

"Sister Qiao, help me!!!"

Ripple scratched his ear and flipped through the incantations in his hand. Countless wind blades formed into a azure dragon, which then coiled around the evil cultivator who had fallen behind the male cultivator.

The aftermath of the collision between the two forces, one azure and one ebony, sent ripples that struck the fleeing male cultivator three steps away.

The male cultivator scrambled away from the battlefield, hiding behind a nearby stone. He swallowed a pill to repair his spiritual energy and turned his head just in time to meet the golden eyes of the black tiger.

"Don't come any closer."

Kang Letian wants to cry but has no tears, what kind of life is this!

The wind spirit swished its tail across the male cultivator, glancing at him with disdain before turning its gaze back to the battlefield.

At this time, the Azure Dragon condensed by the ripples spell had completely surrounded the evil cultivator at its center. The rolling wind blades were cutting into the opponent's body.

"Ah!" a scream of agony ripped from the other's throat, followed by a plume of black smoke erupting from their shattered flesh.

"Whirlwind!"

The ripples of the Pin Jue recalled its own Azure Dragon, while the whirlwind swatted the black mist apart with its claws.

Thank you, Sister Qiao, for saving me.

Kangle Tian immediately bowed and thanked him.

How did you get targeted by a cultist

This cultist was disguised as one of our sect's disciples. I happened to know him, so I offered to travel with him. However, when I received a message from my senior sister, he hadn't received it.

I suspected his identity, so I tentatively probed him, and he immediately attacked me.

"Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet my senior sister. Otherwise, I would have definitely lost my life."

Kang Letian rubbed his face, and said with some dejection.

"Fairy, this male cultivator's luck is indeed quite good."

Ziyun Gui gave Lianyi a voice transmission.

"So, are you coming with me, or exploring the secret realm on your own first"

Ripple asked.

"I'll still follow Teacher Qiao!"

Kang Le Tian will never miss the opportunity to hug thighs.

"Alright, then let's go! We can't give up on the resources we have just because there are cultivators here."

With a ripple of his hand, he continued on with Kang Le Tian towards the location of the lightning-struck tree.

Entering a charred forest of withered trees, Lian'er could smell a hint of thunder elemental energy. She greedily inhaled two deep breaths before stepping into the woods.

Kang Le Tian followed closely behind, then his eyes lit up as he looked at those black dead trees that hadn't been knocked down. The purple lightning flashing on them proved the preciousness of this treasure.

"Senior Sister, this is a lightning-struck tree!"

"Well, you can just watch and collect some yourself."

Ripple wasn't greedy, she took two pieces. One she put in her storage bracelet, and the other she kept in her own space. This was her personal gain.

Kangletian joyfully received two pieces, then followed Ripple away from the barren forest.

"Purple Fortune Turtle, are there any other treasures in this secret realm"

Ripples of sound carried the question.

"Well, there's a crimson lotus of業 fire. It just depends on whether you dare to accept it. That fire is the bane of demonic cultivators. As long as they get even a speck of it, it can burn them to ashes."

However, to collect this crimson lotus of karmic fire, you yourself cannot commit excessive killing, and your body must be free from sin. Otherwise, you will be courting death.

The Purple Tortoise speaks honestly and openly.

"I'm very interested, show me the way!"

That strange fire is being kept in the Hall of Heritage at the center of the secret realm. If you hurry there now, you'll still make it in time. But if you wait any longer, you won't reach the center before the secret realm closes.

Ripple nodded in understanding and immediately sent a message to the sect disciples, saying that she had learned there was a Hall of Inheritance at the heart of the secret realm. If anyone was interested, they should meet there.

Kangle Tian also received the news and immediately asked:

"Jo Shijie, is this true"

"Go and see for yourself."

After ripples decided on a direction, she took a step forward, and the person was three feet away, pulling away from Kang Letong's distance.

"Senior Sister, wait for me!"

How could Kang Letian let such a good opportunity slip away He immediately displayed his skillful steps and followed.

As the news spread, all the cultivators who entered the secret realm learned of the existence of the Hall of Inheritance and rushed in the same direction.h and took their own lives. Their clothes had no special markings, and besides swords, there was nothing else on them."The female guard replied in a low voice."You arrange for that Fifth Prince to be...
