Behind them, were a ground of broken bones. This was blocked by the bone beasts in the secret realm, but with Hong Ling and the others working together, who could possibly threaten them?

Beside Hong Ling, the Sorrow Spirit was floating around happily. Streams of sharp sword beams that contained sword intent had shattered the bone beasts obstructing their way. The inner cores of those bone beasts were captured by his consciousness and stored in his spatial ring.

It had to be said that even if the Sorrow Spirit was only a Profound Ranked Spirit Tool, its power was not something an ordinary Spirit Tool could compare to. Because it was made from Kun Steel, even the legendary Holy Equipment would find it difficult to destroy it.

Kun Steel s were rarely seen divine metals in the world, so they could be big or small, and if they were big or big or big, they could easily be turned into tens of thousands, and they could be separated from each other. Hong Ling's strength was currently limited, and controlling the Sorrow Spirit to turn into nine was already the limit of what he could do.

However, even if it was merely nine longswords, the power of the sword formation formed by the Sorrow Spirit was already far surpassing the sword formation that Hong Ling had formed with the twelve hundred refined steel swords back then.

No bone beast could resist the power of the Sorrow Spirit's sword formation and they all turned into bone fragments. Although Lian Chengyue was in a daze, she did not know how to use the Imperial Sword Technique, so she could only look at Hong Ling with envy.

The closer they got, the more bone beasts they found blocking their way. Hong Ling could even feel a faintly discernable ghastly aura in the air, which indicated that they were secretly spying on their Nascent Soul.

However, as if they were afraid of the powerful strength of the two, the dormant ghosts didn't make a move.

When Hong Ling and his group arrived at the exit of the secret realm, it just so happened that the Four Major Sects were rushing over one after another. Compared to the group of nearly a hundred people back then, the Four Major Sects had suffered heavy losses this time around.

There were less than twenty of them remaining, only eighteen. Amongst the cultivators of the Qi Refinement into Spirit, only Shangguan Qinghong and Nangong Qi Ye remained. Feng Qiyue, Yan You and the other two were only at the peak of the Essence Refinement into Qi.

Amongst the rogue cultivators, only Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue were left. There was no one else, and even Lu You, who was saved by Hong Ling and a while ago, did not appear.

No one moved, not even Shangguan Qinghong and the rest. Hong Ling's and Lian Chengyue's might caused the Four Major Sects' cultivators who were leading them to feel fear.

In fact, a majority of the cultivators in the Four Major Sects had died in the hands of Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue.

This meant that they basically had no possibility of killing the cultivators of the Four Major Sects. However, how could Shangguan Qinghong and the others have ever thought that the two of them would have long since incinerated the Death Mark, and not be able to see it?

In the eyes of the lead cultivators of the Four Major Sects, with the phoenix bloodline fused into Lian Chengyue, there was an extremely high possibility that his talent would be able to break through the eighth stage of the World Barrier.

Furthermore, she also had Hong Ling, who possessed a similarly powerful bloodline, by her side.

Looking at the people present, Hong Ling was deeply moved. When the Heavenly Desolate Mystic Realm opened, the number of people that came in was only from the Four Major Sects, but there were already more than a hundred. Adding the other rogue cultivators, there were already more than 300 people present.

However, the number of people who survived was only twenty. This was an extremely shocking death rate, and even if the number of people Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue had killed was not enough to shock the world.

This was only the Rage King's tomb, if it was the real Rage King's tomb, Hong Ling dared not imagine how dangerous it would be.

”I didn't expect the two of you to still be alive. What a surprise!” Shangguan Qinghong looked at Hong Ling and Hong Ling, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue did not care about them. To the two of them, such a defeated opponent was worth nothing.

”What, you two know that we're about to leave the secret realm and want to meet the elders of the four great sects, so you don't dare to speak to us?” Shangguan Qinghong sneered. He was still brooding over his defeat at Lian Chengyue's hands.

Hong Ling raised his eyebrows, and looked at him seriously. His eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent, he hated people like Shangguan Qinghong for nothing, and always felt a sense of superiority.

”He's merely a defeated opponent. How dare he act so arrogantly when he's nothing more than an ant?” His pupils constricted, and a powerful stream of divine sense shot out, piercing into Shangguan Qinghong's mind.

In less than a month of time, this young man's strength had grown to the point where he could use his spiritual sense to injure Hong Ling. He endured the pain in his soul, staring at the white-robed cultivator fearfully.

”How dare you sneak attack me!” Next to her, Yan You Xu supported Shangguan Qinghong, his eyes filled with rage. Although their relationship was not particularly good, they were still allies.

Hong Ling casually attacked and injured Shangguan Qinghong. This caused them to be shocked and even more so infuriated; this brat simply did not place them in his eyes.

”What? You have an objection?” Hong Ling raised his brows, his tone ice-cold.

To be fair, he had experienced this youth's might. When Hong Ling was still at the great perfection of Essence Refinement into Qi, even if the four of them joined forces, they still would not be able to break through this youth's seal.

Now that he had already been promoted to Qi Refinement into Spirit, even the four of them did not know how far his strength had grown. But without a doubt, Hong Ling's strength was definitely stronger than even the cultivators of the Four Great Qi Refinement into Spirit s.

Hmph, he coldly snorted and no longer spoke. Feng Qiyue and Nangong Qi Ye both chose to remain silent.

If it was any ordinary rogue cultivator who dared to speak to them like that, they would be dead, but, the situation was worse than them, Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue were existences that were even more terrifying than them, they could only swallow their anger.

They all knew that the reason why their own clan's senior brothers and sisters were able to bring their teams into the secret realm, was because their talent and strength were among the best in the sect.
