The fleeing Diancang Sect disciples never expected that Lin Yifan had his eyes on them; they thought they were smart enough, safe enough.

"Just shake off that demon! Once we get out, let the Sect Leader or the elders in the sect seek justice for our deceased brothers."

"That demon can actually evade the pursuit of the Nine Great Sects, he truly is formidable."

"I suspect the Nine Great Sects have all been destroyed by him."

"This is indeed perplexing; it's almost the time for the Moon Festival, yet the disciples of the Nine Great Sects haven't arrived, something must have happened."

"If the Nine Great Sects fail to show up in the outside world, then this guy is highly suspicious. At that time, we must convey this matter, let the elders of the Nine Great Sects know the truth, and then unite together to demand justice from the Medicinal Saint Valley. I don't believe so many sects can unite and not take down that bastard."

"Yes! We must publish this matter to the world and together crusade against that damned son of a bitch!"

The remnants of the Diancang Sect were indignant, harboring deep hatred toward Lin Yifan, vowing to put him to death.

However, just as they finished speaking, a cold voice rang out from behind them, immediately causing them to sweat profusely and tremble in fear.

"Who are you calling a son of a bitch?"

"This... this..."

A few remnants of the Diancang Sect had their hair stand on end, panic-stricken to their core because the voice was very familiar, as if it was that demon's.

They quickly looked back, and the next thing they saw was a swift figure and a gleaming white sword.

A huge murderous aura rushed at them head-on, instantly pushing their frightened hearts to the extreme.

Just as they tried to move to avoid the attack, they fell to the ground with a "thud," not even knowing how they died.

"This... this... how is it possible?"

The last remaining Diancang Sect member died in astonishment, completely bewildered.

Lin Yifan cleanly and efficiently resolved the remaining remnants of the Diancang Sect, without a hint of flaw, as swift as the wind.

This was precisely the effect he wanted because the longer it dragged on, the easier it was for accidents to happen; moreover, timing his bladder relief was crucial, or it would arouse suspicion.

With the Diancang Sect remnants dead, the next step was to clean up the battlefield.

Since this place was close to the Moon Worship Sect, these corpses could easily be discovered by disciples from other sects; therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble and save time, Lin Yifan decided to use Corpse Dissolving Liquid to handle these corpses.

Corpse Dissolving Liquid can quickly melt bodies into a puddle of water; by then, no one will know where the remnants of the Diancang Sect have gone.

Without delay, he immediately took out Corpse Dissolving Liquid from the blue Immortal Ring and applied a drop of the fiercely corrosive liquid to each corpse.

Corpse Dissolving Liquid has extremely strong corrosion; one drop is enough to dissolve an adult body, with no need to worry about leaving behind problems.

After finishing this task, he immediately performed the "Great Roc Spreading Wings" Immortal Level Light Skill, rapidly leaving the scene, then taking a big turn back to his original position, and then emerging from the forest into everyone's view.

The whole process took only a few minutes, akin to the time spent relieving himself, so no one would know what he did.

As he walked along, no one looked at him, questioned him, as if everyone hadn't realized something happened to the Diancang Sect disciples.

Returning to the group, An Qi and Xiao Fang approached him as usual to chat.

Whereas Du Yuze and Tan Jingwen stood aside with cold eyes.

Everything was so normal, it seemed that people here really didn't know what happened in the forest next to the Moon Worship Sect.

Not long after, the disciples of the Huashan Sect arrived; these past days, they had been hiding everywhere, fearing that something ominous might happen to them.

Moreover, they indeed suffered some attacks, causing their numbers to plummet dramatically.

A few days ago, they just endured a life-and-death ordeal, fortunately, most managed to get through, otherwise they wouldn't be here today.

Healing their bodies and restoring their vitality consumed a lot of time, which is why they hurried here now. Luckily, they made it, or they'd be in the depths of despair.

Now that Huashan Sect disciples have arrived, it means most of the people here are unaware of what happened in the Great Dark Forest, even completely oblivious.

No wonder no one here was discussing the matter of the Nine Great Sects.

Seeing so many sects suddenly absent, Huashan Sect disciples were very surprised, now they can confirm that the alliance treasure hunting team of the Nine Great Sects all died unexpectedly.

On the other side, seeing so many Huashan Sect disciples missing, other sects were curious about what happened to them, so they came over to talk.

Huashan Sect disciples briefly shared their experiences over the past days; however, one thing could be certain, their brothers weren't killed by human cultivators, but by strange existences and powerful spirit beasts within the Secret Realm.

Furthermore, Huashan Sect disciples also shared the terrifying events within the Great Dark Forest.

Surrounding disciples from various sects were taken aback, asking, "Brother Su! Do you know who killed the Nine Great Sects disciples?"

"I don't know, when I arrived, I only saw a group of fierce spirit beasts gnawing at their corpses, not knowing whether they were killed by spirit beasts in the Dark Forest or terrifying existences in the Forbidden Zone." Su Xinming replied with lingering fear.

"Does the Moon Worship Sect truly have such a Forbidden Zone?"

"It's absolutely true! There are ancient books to verify it!"

Su Xinming immediately produced an ancient book, handing it to those who understood ancient texts to take a look.

Disciples from various sects glanced at it and found it was indeed as Su Xinming said; there was a forbidden zone in the northwest direction of the forest.

"No wonder when I saw a group of people hastily flying toward the northwest, they were heading to the Great Dark Forest."

A cultivator who had seen the Nine Great Sects' alliance army was suddenly enlightened.

Yet some still didn't understand why the Nine Great Sects, knowing there was danger, still went there, asking: "Why did they go there?"

"To obtain the Peerless Treasure." Su Xinming replied: "The Forbidden Zone of the Moon Worship Sect is guarded by a powerful elder, so there might be a thatched cottage there, perhaps containing the Peerless Treasures that this elder used during his lifetime."

"If the terrifying existences in the Forbidden Zone were suppressed, why did they come out to attack?"

"I don't know either, maybe over time, the seal loosened, allowing them to escape; or perhaps the Nine Great Sects disciples were killed by powerful spirit beasts in the Dark Forest." Su Xinming answered.

This is a mystery that puzzles him to this day.
