After Xu Changge left, Yan Lei's expression was somewhat serious. To be safe, he cautiously asked Su Bai, "Senior, you're so serious. Could it be that you've received some bad news?"
Su Bai sighed deeply.
"Alas, a Yuanying Stage (Middle Stage) Yin Corpse appeared in that Outer Sea Secret Realm!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, Yan Lei trembled with fright.
Wang Shi's eyes widened in shock.
Yuanying Stage (Middle Stage)!
Yin Corpse!
These two terms together were simply a disaster!
Yan Lei's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he gave two dry laughs:
"Heh heh, don't be afraid, the great Cultivators of the Six Sects won't let disaster happen…"
Yan Lei's voice gradually trailed off.
Su Bai scratched her scalp, looking troubled.
If it were a hundred years ago, perhaps it would be possible.
At that time, the Six Sects had many top-tier powerhouses.
But later, Lian Youzhi appeared and fought with the Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Six Sects.
In that battle, aside from Zhang Hai Old Ancestor of Crimson Cloud Sect falling at the beginning, when Lian Youzhi attacked other Schools later, those Nascent Soul Cultivators reacted and united, suffering no further losses.
However, that battle also injured the Old Ancestors of the various Sects.
Only eighteen years had passed since then, and it was unknown if those Old Ancestors had recovered from their injuries.
Moreover, the cultivation of the Six Sect Ancestors seemed to be at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage.
Su Bai wasn't very confident if a dozen Nascent Soul Initial Stage Cultivators could defeat a Yuanying Stage (Middle Stage) Yin Corpse.
Unless the Six Sects still had reserved trump cards.
However, even if they had trump cards, Su Bai still didn't plan to stay here for long.
If it didn't work out, she would directly cross the Demon Beast Mountain Range and go to the other side.
Su Bai looked at Yan Lei and Wang Shi very seriously and warned them:
"The Six Sects will handle this matter. It's best if you keep it to yourselves and don't speak of it."
"This matter is of great importance, and great Cultivators will naturally come to deal with it."
When Su Bai said this, her face was full of confidence, as if as long as the Six Sects made a move, that small Yuanying Stage (Middle Stage) Yin Corpse was nothing at all.
After Su Bai finished speaking, Yan Lei also nodded and echoed:
"Indeed, this matter still requires the great Cultivators of the Six Sects to decide. We just need to wait for good news."
Wang Shi looked at the two Seniors in front of him, whose cultivation was higher than his own, making such a judgment, and he also felt relieved.
As the overlords of these various countries, the Six Upper Sects had existed for tens of thousands of years, and no one had yet been able to challenge the prestige of the Six Upper Sects.
Even the female Devil Head who appeared last time was ultimately suppressed and killed directly by the Old Ancestors of the Six Major Sects.
This was the strength of the Six Upper Sects!
Yan Lei glanced at Wang Shi beside him and spoke directly:
"Wang Shi, I'll be leaving first then. The Seniors already know about this matter, so we don't need to worry about it. The Night Sparrow Gang has a lot of things going on lately. The neighboring Raging River Gang has occupied the waterway, seriously affecting our Gang's business, so I need to go back and handle it."
After speaking, Yan Lei cupped his hands to Su Bai and took his leave first.
Su Bai also didn't linger too long and left the courtyard.
When she returned to Danfu Pavilion, Lu Hong looked at Su Bai in front of her with some surprise.
Because she hadn't noticed at all when Su Bai had returned.
Did that mean that Aunt Su had already…
"Aunt Su? You've come out of seclusion!"
"Mm, Lu Hong, have you been diligently Cultivating?"
Looking at the lively Lu Hong, a trace of relaxation appeared on Su Bai's serious expression.
When asked about her cultivation, Lu Hong touched her nose, a little embarrassed.
"Uh, I now have one hundred ninety-five drops of Spiritual Qi."
Hearing Lu Hong's cultivation progress, Su Bai nodded. That was not bad; she had hope of reaching Core Formation in thirty years.
"Good, it seems you weren't lazy while I was in seclusion."
"Heh heh heh."
Su Bai's words were a compliment, which made Lu Hong a little embarrassed.
Then Lu Hong widened her eyes, looking Su Bai up and down. She stretched out a finger, wanting to poke Su Bai's face.
But Su Bai directly caught her finger.
"Ah! Aunt Su, it hurts~"
Su Bai slightly tightened her grip, and Lu Hong already cried out in pain, unable to bear it.
Only after Lu Hong begged for mercy did Su Bai release her finger.
"You must respect your elders."
Lu Hong held her slightly painful finger, tears seemingly welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Facing Su Bai's reprimand, she nodded, her tone much softer.
"I just wanted to touch Aunt Su to see if she was really standing in front of me. My Divine Sense couldn't perceive Aunt Su's presence anymore."
Lu Hong explained why she had just wanted to reach out and poke Su Bai's face.
"So that's it. It's just that after my Realm became higher, I simply restrained my aura."
Saying that, Su Bai revealed a trace of her aura.
Allowing Lu Hong to feel her presence.
"Heh heh, it's good that Aunt Su has reached Core Formation. I need to work hard too!"
After sensing Su Bai's aura, Lu Hong reached out and twirled a strand of her hair.
She promised Su Bai that she would Cultivate even harder in the future.
Su Bai merely nodded in response.
At the same time, Su Bai felt a bit strange.
There was a Golden Core in her Dantian now, but she felt that she could still become stronger.
Not a Breakthrough in Realm, but an increase in cultivation foundation.
Feeling the Seven Chakras that were absorbing Spiritual Qi, she felt as if she had some inspiration.
When she broke through to Core Formation, the harmonization of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements seemed to correspond with these Seven Chakras.
So, could these Seven Chakras not only serve as a "Dantian" for absorbing and transforming Spiritual Qi, but also be filled with Spiritual Qi to condense a different kind of Golden Core?
She could try it later.
Lu Hong still wanted to chat more with Su Bai and foster their relationship.
Yan Lei walked in from outside.
As soon as she saw Yan Lei's sturdy figure, the words Lu Hong wanted to say got stuck in her throat.
She knew that chatting with Aunt Su now was impossible.
Indeed.
Seeing Yan Lei approach, Su Bai wasn't surprised at all.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, you're a bit slow."
"Heh heh, Senior is joking. My cultivation is low, so my speed naturally isn't presentable in your eyes."
"Do you think Wang Shi will let it slip?"
Su Bai asked this.
After all, Su Bai's relationship with Wang Shi wasn't deep. Their few meetings had all been at Han Xue's home, and she only knew that the boy valued friendship greatly. Han Xue's brother had helped him and his companions, so he had taken care of Han Xue for several years.
And since the other party had worked for Yan Lei for five years, Yan Lei should know more about his character than she did.
However, Yan Lei had also been diligently Cultivating in recent years and hadn't managed too many Gang affairs.
He truly didn't know much about Wang Shi.
Yan Lei shook his head.
"I'm not sure, but whether this matter is spoken of or not, it's irrelevant."
Yes, after all, it was a Yuanying Stage (Middle Stage) Yin Corpse.
Now, they could only wait for news from Xu Changge's side.
To see how the Six Sects would respond to this matter.
Once the Yin Corpse emerged, it would definitely be a disaster for Zhang Country and several nearby countries.
Now, either Formation Masters would be arranged to go to the Outer Sea Secret Realm to strengthen the Formation and re-Seal the Yin Corpse.
Or the Six Sects would also have Yuanying Stage (Middle Stage) Cultivators make a move to besiege and kill the Yin Corpse.
"Let's wait for news."
