The tension between them was palpable, as if a fight could break out at any second.

Fortunately, Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli had already convinced themselves that the Seven Soul Sect had taken the inheritance of Red Sun Villa and refrained from attacking the others. At this point, their hatred for the Seven Soul Sect ran deep, and they were planning how to inform their sect once they left the secret realm, urging them to hold the Seven Soul Sect accountable and, ideally, divide the inheritance of Red Sun Villa among themselves.

The inheritance of an ancient force from antiquity, even if just a fragment, would be more than enough for those sects to benefit endlessly and cultivate more outstanding disciples.

Their plan was set, but just as they felt the secret realm begin to shake, they were about to leave when the trembling grew more violent, making it nearly impossible to stand, let alone escape the villa.

"Look quickly, what is that?"

A fearful voice rang out, pointing at the sky outside the villa.

A shadowy door-like form appeared in the sky, hurtling toward the villa with blinding speed.

Everyone could feel the overwhelming force that paralyzed them, including the Yuanchuang-stage cultivators Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli.

The two of them looked slightly serious, secretly gathering their strength.

The illusory door had already enveloped the villa, and then the entire villa shook again.

For a moment, reality and illusion blurred, as if the world itself had been turned upside down. No one could describe the sensation, and they could only lie on the ground, allowing the crushing illusory door to pass over their bodies.

Only when all the commotion finally quieted did everyone slowly get up, only to realize something was wrong.

The villa was still the same, but the surrounding environment had changed. It was no longer a picturesque landscape but a desolate mountain wilderness.

They stared in disbelief at the harsh, dust-laden wind sweeping in from the distance. Outside the villa, the tranquil lake had vanished, replaced by a crowd of people.

"Junior Brother!"

Li Fan burst into the villa, visibly relieved to see Shi Wuming unharmed.

Compared to his joy, the others were dumbfounded. Both those inside and outside the villa looked at each other, bewildered.

The secret realm had closed, but before it did, it had somehow ejected the massive villa from within.

The cultivators waiting outside the secret realm saw it clearly. In that instant, the secret realm really did spit out a villa, a spectacle so grand they couldn’t react in time.

"Senior Brother Li!" Shi Wuming, also happy to see Li Fan, jumped to his side, ready to tattle, "Senior Brother, these two bullied us Seven Soul Sect disciples in the secret realm!"

Li Fan looked at Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli with hostility and said coldly, "Elders Zuo and Wei, as Yuanchuang stage cultivators, how could you bully juniors? Do you think our Seven Soul Sect is easy to push around?"

Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli were furious once again.

This was outrageous! It was the guilty party who cried foul first!

"Li Fan, take a good look at who is bullying whom. Your Seven Soul Sect disciples are all here, safe and sound!" Zuo Yizhai lost his composure and erupted in curses, "Your Seven Soul Sect is full of despicable people. You took the benefits and then turned around to accuse us. The Bi Nu Pavilion won’t let this slide."

Li Fan sneered, "Our Seven Soul Sect will be waiting!"

With that, he flicked his sleeves and used his spiritual power to gather all the Seven Soul Sect disciples onto a spirit boat. The spirit boat shot into the sky and vanished in a flash.

Only when the spirit boat was out of sight did those around react.

Zuo Yizhai spat, "Damn you, Li Fan! If you’ve got the guts, don’t run!"

Chapter 336

Only a fool would stay!

The Seven Soul Sect disciples, swept into the flying vessel by Li Fan, were all a bit dazed. One of the disciples asked doubtfully, "Senior Uncle Li, why are we in such a hurry to leave? Shouldn't we confront them instead?"

The other disciples nodded in agreement.

Their confidence stemmed not only from being Seven Soul Sect disciples but also from having Wen Tuti as an ally. Although they didn't know Wen Tuti's background, they were friends of Junior Uncle Shi Wuming, which made them friends of the Seven Soul Sect. With two Yuanchuang-stage cultivators on their side, they were confident they could easily take down Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli.

Li Fan, with a righteous expression on his face, said righteously, "Only a fool would stick around and let others snatch the rewards."

Benefits? The disciples instinctively looked at Shi Wuming, wondering what he had obtained.

Shi Wuming grinned and gave a thumbs up to Li Fan. "Senior Brother Li, you really are incredibly clever. I hadn't said anything yet."

Li Fan said calmly, "You started complaining the moment you came out. Besides, Zuo Yizhai and Wei Qianli care the most about their image, but they looked like they had been beaten up. Clearly, they tried to steal the chicken but ended up losing the rice—meaning they got nothing and lost something in the process. You handled things in a very Soul Hall style. Truly the disciple of Senior Uncle Shiyu."

Everyone: "..."

Alright, they got it. Shi Wuming’s behavior wasn’t just his own—it was clearly passed down from his master.

Li Fan didn't ask Shi Wuming what he had obtained in the secret realm. He let the other disciples rest and said to Shi Wuming, "You take Ning Gongzi and the others to rest as well."

Shi Wuming responded and cheekily added, "Senior Brother Li, could you send a message to the sect? I'll fill you in on the details after I've organized the gains from this trip."

"No problem," Li Fan said seriously, "The sect will handle it. What belongs to us Seven Soul Sect cannot be taken by anyone else!"

After hearing the conversation between the two senior brothers, Pei Qiyu and Su Molan exchanged glances, their expressions a mix of amusement and disbelief.

They were genuinely impressed by what they had learned!

So, this was how high-level continent cultivators operated. Whoever dared to snatch from them would end up suffering a huge loss and be morally condemned, leaving them furious yet speechless.

——

After returning to their room, Wen Qiao and the others didn't rush to rest. Instead, they set up formations around the area.

The small qilin emerged from Wen Qiao's spiritual consciousness.

A cultivator’s spirit core typically appears as a glowing orb, the brightness of which reflects the strength of the spirit core. The qilin’s spirit core was extremely powerful, with bright spiritual light, and within the orb, the faint outline of a qilin could be seen.
