“Yes, two girl cultivators, one named Bai Lian and the other named Li Yun. Our Sect’s Zhao Hao lost to Li Yun, while Jin Guang Sect’s Hu Changsheng lost to Bai Lian.” Sun Li earnestly answered. Even if it was a bit shameful, it wasn’t him that was being shamed.

However, Zhou Ming was not concerned with the skill of the cultivators. Licking his lips, he asked: “Those two Yu Qing cultivators, how do they look?”

“What?” Sun Li felt like collapsing from exhaustion. He really couldn’t vibrate on the same frequency as Zhou Ming.

Sun Li was unable to understand how thirsty Zhou Ming (who had been alone in the Closed Realm for ten years) was for women.

Now, Zhou Ming was a hotblooded youth when he had first entered the Closed Realm; right in the age of infatuation with the female sex. But now, after being caged in this Closed Realm for ten years, he hadn’t even seen a man apart from himself, not to say a woman.

Because of this, Zhou Ming’s eyes began to green at the words “girl cultivators”; looking as if he had seen his first meal after being starved for three days. He had been starved for ten years; ten years void of bodily affairs.

“My sufferings have paid off. I was just about to ask you people to send some woman in. Who would have thought that Yu Qing would have thought of it for me?” Zhou Ming didn’t wait for Sun Li to answer. For someone who hadn’t seen a woman in ten years, was appearance really important? Furthermore, the fact that they were girl cultivators meant that they had the potential for cultivation; meaning that their appearance could not be mediocre.

Just the mere thought of women caressed Zhou Ming’s heart like the touch of a hundred claws. He agitatedly said: “Speak no further. Bring me to the Yu Qing Sect.”

╭(°A°`)╮This wasn’t just a madman. This was a thirsty madman! Although Sun Li and the others were unwilling, they dared not voice a single “no”.

However, the territories of the Wu Zhu and Yu Qing Sects were coincidentally on opposite sides of the Closed Realm. Between them were the regions of the three other Sects. This Closed Realm was not a sphere, but a fan-shaped flat surface. Although there would be no prevention from moving from one area to the next, it would increase in distance as one furthered on.

From the splitting of regions, one could tell the ranking of Wu Zhu and Yu Qing among the FIve Sects. The edges of the Closed Realm, though not barren, were still much poorer in resources than the central regions. The richest center area naturally belonged to Qing Yue Sword Sect. Bordering it were the lands of Jin Guang and Guang Fa.

Because of this, however hurriedly Zhou Ming wanted to see the two girl cultivators of Yu Qing, he still needed to pass through the regions of Jin Guang, Guang Fa, and Qing Yue Sword Sect to get there.

Zhou Ming and his group first needed to pass through the Jin Guang region. As secret partners with Wu Zhu, Jin Guang naturally needed to “Work together” with them.

“┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ How have they stolen so much in this short period of time!” Seeing the scars of the land, Zhou Ming began to curse angrily. However, he did not know that, in the Jin Guang area, much of the resources had really been stolen by Ye Zan.

Furthermore, Ye Zan’s intervention had another consequence: Jin Guang’s excavation trip had been much faster than previous ones. Their spiritual grasses had been dug, their spiritual beasts had been killed. There was really no time or space for them to procrastinate.

Of course, it wasn’t just Jin Guang that met these same circumstances. Guang Fa and Qing Yue Sword Sect saw the same things. Because the Wu Zhu Sect had to stop and wait for Zhou Ming, they had been slowed. If they had continued further, they would have found that many of their marked destinations had been first excavated by another person. It was fortunate that Ye Zan had stopped and gone into the mysterious Secret Realm. Otherwise, the Four Sects would probably find that the available goods would be lessened to an unimaginable point.

After all, Wu Zhu Sect was in an alliance with Jin Guang Sect. They were familiar with the destinations within the Jin Guang region. Tracing them one by one, they had finally met up with the Jin Guang group.

“Senior Sun, why have you come to our territory!” Seeing Su Li and the other students come out from the forest, a voice sounded from the Jin Guang Sect students in charge of guarding from outside the cave.

Sun Li let out a forced smile, looking at his side to Zhou Ming. Seeing that he said nothing, Sun Li could only bow and say: “Greetings to Senior Wang. I have come to form an agreement with your Sect. Please do not misunderstand my intentions.”

At this time, there was a sequence of unregulated footsteps coming from the cave. It was the Jin Guang Sect.

Over in the Jin Guang Sect, because of the elimination of Hu Changsheng and Xiao Huairen, the student in charge of leading the group had changed to one named Xiang Hong. Of course, Xiang Hong was not weak. Although he lacked in comparison to Hu and Xiao, his difference was still reasonable.

Xiang Hong brought the people out of the cave. Seeing Sun Li and the others, he furrowed his brow, hostilely asking: “Junior Sun, why do you not lead your Sect in searching through your territory, but run over here to our’s?”

“Tch, your territory?” Standing on the side, Zhou Ming couldn’t help but laugh when he heard what he said.

Zhou Mings’s laugh naturally attracted the attention of the crowd. Xiang Hong, being the target of his mockery, obviously turned to look at him.

With this gaze. Xiang Hong revealed a sliver of confusion, giving a silent signal to his classmates. He turned to Sun Li and asked: “Junior Sun, who is this Senior? Why do I not remember there being such a person amongst your Sect?”

“This is….” Sun Li did not know how to introduce him. If he said that Zhou Ming was part of the Wu Zhu Sect, how could he explain to the Jin Guang Sect the secret of the plan? Especially after so many years had passed since its beginning.

Zhou Ming didn’t wait for Sun Li to introduce him. Striding forwards, out of the ranks of the Wu Zhu Sect, he gazed at the students of the Jin Guang Sect, saying: “I am the Master of this Closed Realm. You people stand before me and split my territory. Have you asked for my permission?”

The Master of the Closed Realm?

Xiang Hong and his classmates were actually scared for a second. However, after closely examining Zhou Ming, although they couldn’t tell his cultivation level, solely based on his outfit, he didn’t fit the title of Master of the Closed Realm.

“What a joke!” Xiang Hong let out a cold laugh, turning to speak to Sun Li: “Junior Sun, where did you find such a madman. You wouldn’t have really believed what he had said.”

You know he’s a madman. Why do you speak so frankly! Sun Li didn’t respond but closed his eyes helplessly like he couldn’t bear seeing what would happen next.

As expected, as Xiang Hong just finished speaking, he met the gazes of his classmates surrounding him. They were all filled with terror. Xiang Hong didn’t even know what had happened before feeling a chilling cold touch his throat. His eyelids felt heavy, and he lost control of his body. Under the attention of all, Xiang Hong’s body fell towards the ground, his head rolling to the side, and his neck spewing blood all over the ground.

“Ah, Senior Xiang!” Some of the Jin Guang students alarmedly shouted.

“Do you still believe that my words are a joke?” Zhou Ming sinisterly spoke, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the Jin Guang students. His sword floated next to him, revealing his cultivation of Foundation State.

“Foundation State….” The members of the Jing Guang Sect had wanted to avenge Xiang Hong, but looking at the sword floating next to Zhou Ming, swallowed all the words they had wanted to say.

Sun Li had already opened his eyes. Gazing at the ground to Xiang Hong’s corpse, he couldn’t express his inner thoughts. He looked again at the members of the Jin Guang Sect, and, seeing that they had also been startled by Zhou Ming, proceeded to bow and say: “All Seniors have probably seen this …. Antecessor Zhou has great skill, above what we can muster. So, please, do not work for a moment of pride, and listen to Antecessor Zhou’’s plans.
