Chapter 224 A Series of Shocks
The monk Huikong's words seemed very reasonable, but they also revealed his ruthlessness.
It can only be said that this person completely sought help from the wrong person.
Seeing that the monk Huikong did not stop him, Kong Xiangtian directly sucked the person away.
No matter how much the Kong family member begged for mercy, he could not change his fate.
It didn't take long for it to become a dried-up corpse.
“Master, this secret realm is so sinister, I’m afraid what’s inside is not a good thing.”
Linghui watched everything unfold before her eyes, her gaze remaining calm and undisturbed.
It wasn't that Linghui didn't want to stop it; after all, the environment he grew up in encouraged people to do good.
Rather, it's that he lacks the ability.
Even his master, the monk Huikong, couldn't stop him.
"Be careful once you go in. Too many of your fellow disciples have died this time, so your master has to make this trip."
The monk Huikong could see it all too well; it was just that many of his disciples had already died this time.
Both publicly and privately, he should bring back more rare and precious materials to make up for the mistakes he made.
After returning this time, he probably won't be able to leave Jingwu Temple for several years.
Since things didn't go smoothly this time, he can only try to gain more merit, so the middle gate must be opened and he must go in.
Tian Zhenzhen also looked over and noticed that there were two monks in the group.
Hearing what Monk Huikong said, I felt that this monk was different from the monks I had met before.
Shouldn't monks be compassionate?
Faced with such a bloody event, it seems that they, like her, chose to stand by and watch.
After absorbing wave after wave of essence blood, the spatial rift in front of it was finally large enough for one person to pass through.
At this point, the four heads of the family finally stopped.
After the last person was drained, dozens of corpses lay on the ground.
They are all of the bloodline of the four major families, but they are all from collateral branches and are not particularly outstanding in strength.
He originally thought he would make some money by making this trip, but he never expected to lose his life here.
The family's managers, namely the main branch and their close associates, quickly stabilized the family members, and no major disturbances occurred.
After all, the immediate benefits are enormous; if these people die, they will receive even more resources when they return.
Abundant resources mean that one can advance further on the path of martial arts, and also represent an extension of lifespan.
It's important to understand that none of the four major families are short of money. Who wouldn't want to live a longer life to enjoy such a privileged existence?
"Hahaha, the middle gate is finally open, and all the innate martial artists from the Lan family are going in with me."
Anyone who dares to escape will be punished according to family rules when they return home.
Lan Lingyang said sternly, his eyes filled with warning.
After saying that, he quickly slipped inside.
He didn't even glance at the corpse lying on the ground.
These drained bodies were no longer her kind in her eyes, but merely energy packs that had opened the door.
Some members of the Lan family who had initially wanted to back out were forced to follow her lead after hearing her words.
Things might not go wrong here, but if I leave, I'll be punished according to family rules, which could implicate my relatives.
This time the entry will be much slower, but fortunately, to pass through the middle gate, one's physical strength must reach the Innate Realm.
Many people remained outside, and although they couldn't go in, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
The feeling of being constantly locked on for death was truly unpleasant. Looking at the drained corpses on the ground, everyone felt fortunate.
Having low martial arts skills has its advantages; you don't have to go in and become a blood bag.
There's also a door-to-door service; nobody wants to be the next blood bag.
Tian Zhenzhen and Kong Wei were still waiting for the people in front to go in first, but Kong Yingjie walked towards them again.
“Kong Wei, Miss Tian, this is your first time entering the Middle Gate. I’m a little worried about you, so I’ll go in with you.”
Upon hearing Kong Yingjie's words, Kong Wei's face clearly showed anger.
Although he wouldn't leave, it was obvious to everyone that Kong Yingjie was there to monitor him.
Good, good, good, he's really a good older brother, he's afraid he'll run away.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Kong."
Tian Zhenzhen smiled and did not refuse.
Kong Yingjie's murderous intent, so determined to win, seemed to be obvious to everyone.
But it's still uncertain who the prey will be.
A few minutes later, Tian Zhenzhen and the other two finally entered the central gate.
Upon entering, Kong Yingjie and Kong Wei were both stunned.
Why is this happening? The central gate hasn't been opened for over two hundred years. Logically, there should be countless rare and precious materials inside.
Why is it like this now? It's a barren wasteland with only some medicinal herbs that haven't grown yet.
"Ahhh, Le Tianlu, are you kidding me? There's nothing in your secret realm at all."
"Oh no! My daughter is waiting for treatment for her injured leg. Have you been lying to me the whole time?"
Miao Fengxian was an impatient person who would resort to violence at the slightest provocation.
I brought my daughter here to broaden her horizons, but I never expected it to turn out like this.
She now feels like a fool who has been deceived by the Le family.
First, her daughter went out with the Le family. The Le family members were perfectly fine, but her daughter became disabled.
Now, the rare and precious medicinal herbs that were promised to cure their daughter are nowhere to be found, let alone the benefits that the Le family had promised.
As Miao Fengxian grew angry, an insect crawled out of her ear. As if sensing its master's anger, it raised its body and made an attacking posture towards Le Tianlu.
“Patriarch Le, you also need to give an explanation to our Li family about this matter, otherwise don’t blame us for not giving you face.”
The Li family members were much more composed, even though Li Sui's leg had been crippled.
However, they had some trust in the Le family before, so they were not as aggressive as Miao Fengxian.
Although they didn't complain verbally, the current situation made them feel like they were being played.
Le Tianlu was already in a bad mood, and now that all the rare and precious treasures he thought he would find upon entering the central gate were gone, and he was being questioned by the two of them, he was in no mood for anything.
"Hmph, I don't know why things turned out this way either. You want an explanation? I want an explanation too."
"Le Tianlu, I don't care about all that. I only know that you can't skimp on the benefits you promised, and you also have to heal my daughter's leg injury."
Otherwise, the Duan family will never let you off the hook.
“Miao Fengxian is right about this. If you don’t give both of our families an explanation, this matter is not over.”
The Le family was arguing fiercely, and they almost came to blows.
The situation wasn't much better for the other three companies either. After all, they hired help not only out of personal relationships but also because of the benefits promised by the companies.
Now that the benefits are fading, everyone is somewhat unwilling to accept it.
"Benefactor Kong, could it be that someone has been to this secret realm before?"
The monk Huikong offered his guess. Although he appeared calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
If I hadn't studied the scriptures for so many years, I probably would have started criticizing like Miao Fengxian.
However, he also saw the astonished look in Kong Xiangtian's eyes and knew that he did not know anything about what was going on here.
So he was able to control his temper and analyze the situation at hand.
"This...this is impossible. To enter the middle gate, we have to sacrifice the bloodlines of our four families. You just saw how many people died."
If so many people had truly died, the family would have known something.
Moreover, the jade pendant key to unlock the secret realm has always been in our hands.
Kong Xiangtian had already sent people to search, and he felt a sense of relief at the end of the matter.
Everything he saw upon entering the secret realm today gave him a bad feeling.
Seeing the scene behind the middle gate, he finally gave up completely.
The four major families searched again, but found nothing of useful natural treasures or rare minerals.
"Something is wrong with the fact that all three gates are open at the same time this time. The rare and precious materials in the middle gate are only some that have not yet grown."
I just checked, and these plants that haven't fully grown aren't experiencing growth stagnation; they're all growing normally.
I examined the ground carefully and found no signs of it having been picked beforehand, which is strange.
