The environment there is most complex, spirit beasts roam freely, and there are numerous points that can be utilized, making it the ideal place to hide as well as launch a counterattack.

A few hours later, the gates of the Moon Worship Sect closed, and the full moon began to show defects.

The sect leaders of the outside world originally planned to reopen the Secret Realm after a month, so Lin Yifan and the others needed to stay in the Dark Forest for a few days.

A few days later, disciples from various sects arrived outside the Great Dark Forest.

Looking at the vast Great Dark Forest, they couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

It's said that spirit beasts run rampant inside, and there are terrifying things that even disciples from the Nine Great Sects can't return from, making them afraid of suffering the same fate.

To find out the truth, they asked the Huashan Sect disciples for a detailed account.

The Huashan Sect disciples held nothing back, and all they said at that time was true.

The disciples from various sects didn't believe it without seeing it for themselves, so they asked the Huashan Sect disciples to take them to where the Nine Great Sects' disciples' bodies were found.

The Huashan Sect disciples did not oppose, thinking they should be able to escape with so many people there.

Flying all the way, they quickly reached the place where the Nine Great Sects' disciples had died.

There, the disciples from various sects saw many white skeletons, and among them, several waist tokens scattered on the ground, confirming they belonged to the Nine Great Sects' disciples.

There were no spirit beasts present anymore, as they had eaten their fill and went back to rest.

"Who on earth did this?"

Disciples from various sects frowned, looking very upset.

"Could it be those five people?"

"It shouldn't be, they couldn't even beat us, let alone the Nine Great Sects' disciples."

Lin Yifan's weakness was his excessive protectiveness, so the Nine Great Sects' disciples should have been able to defeat Lin Yifan and his group of five.

"But if it wasn't those five, could it really be the terrifying existence within the forbidden zone?"

At this point, the disciples from various sects shivered; since they were on someone else's territory, their lives were at risk if they stayed any longer.

"Would you all dare to take a risk with me?" Feng Feiyan asked.

She was already in an extremely dangerous forbidden zone, and if that little witch An Qi managed to escape, she would be killed by Xuji True Master, so for her own life, she had to eliminate An Qi.

All the disciples from various sects shook their heads, expressing their unwillingness to go, because the bloody lesson was right in front of them, so why would they still take the risk? Were they really that tired of living?

"Don't you want to capture those five damned bastards?" Feng Feiyan questioned, feeling a chill in her heart.

"What if they're not here? Wouldn't we be throwing our lives away for nothing?"

"They're definitely here because they know we're afraid to come."

"Don't be so sure, there's no absolute in this world."

"Alright! Since nobody wants to, let's leave then!"

Feng Feiyan didn't want to make things difficult for the disciples of the various sects since she had no authority to ask them to do anything.

The disciples from the various sects had no objections, so they immediately left.

Around the Great Dark Forest, they discovered the gruesomely dead bodies of the Kunlun Sect's leader Guo Shichao and the Qingcheng Sect's leader Chang Qing.

Their bodies were blackened and swollen beyond recognition.

Upon closer examination, they found that Guo Shichao and Chang Qing had been killed by many small poisonous stingers, which were still highly toxic and hadn't dissipated yet.

"What on earth is this?"

Everyone questioned, eager to know the answer.

"It looks a bit like wasp stingers."

"Are wasp stingers this big and long?"

"Don't forget where we are; this is an Ancient Secret Realm. Almost all the animals here are spirit beasts, so it's normal for the stingers to vary in size and length."

"That's right!"

Everyone was uncertain whether these were ancient wasp stingers, so they took a few stingers as samples to bring back for verification by the important figures of their respective sects.

After finishing, they left the area, heading far away.

At the edge of the Dark Forest, Lin Yifan and his group of five naturally sensed the aura of the various sects' disciples; luckily, these people didn't chase after them, or else they would have to engage in a massacre again.

A day later, a great commotion appeared in the sky above the Moon Worship Sect Secret Realm, informing everyone that the Elders from various sects were reopening the Secret Realm.

Without delay, they immediately moved towards the exit.

The disciples from various sects ran swiftly because they intended to intercept Lin Yifan and his group of five at the exit, to snatch treasures and avenge their fallen brothers and sisters.

Lin Yifan, of course, anticipated their move and had already prepared countermeasures.

If a direct assault failed, they would use the Instant Teleport Charm to escape.

Lin Yifan had given each of the other four an Instant Teleport Charm, trusting they would assess the situation and find the right moment to flee.

Almost simultaneously, the disciples from various sects and Lin Yifan's group of five arrived at the exit.

Due to the small size of the exit, a fierce battle ensued.

The Elders from various sects could clearly sense the battle at the exit but were unsure of what was happening.

"Hurry up and get out! Don't get entrenched in battle!"

They thought their own disciples were being entangled by the spirit beasts within the Secret Realm, causing them some worry.

Lin Yifan, An Qi, Du Yuze, and Tan Jingwen held off the various sect disciples, escorting Xiaofang to safety.

This was their agreed-upon strategy: Xiaofang leaves first, followed by An Qi, and finally Lin Yifan and the other two.

The plan was set in motion, and Xiaofang unhesitatingly used qinggong, escaping swiftly and flying out of the Secret Realm.

After she flew out, An Qi seized the opportunity to leave the battlefield, flying towards the exit.

Once An Qi also successfully escaped, Lin Yifan, Du Yuze, and Tan Jingwen stopped lingering in the fight, using their qinggong to flee swiftly.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

And just like that, the five of them successfully escaped from the tiger's maw, suffering little harm.

In truth, it wasn't that the various sect disciples weren't formidable; it was that Lin Yifan was too formidable and extremely fast. Every time their members tried to intercept Xiaofang and An Qi, Lin Yifan always appeared in front of them, blocking their path.

After successfully escaping, Lin Yifan and his group had no intention of staying inside the terrifying Secret Realm anymore, so they immediately flew out, returning to their respective Elders.

They would not let things rest easily, for Lin Yifan had killed too many of their brothers and sisters, and they were determined to make Lin Yifan pay the price he deserved.

The disciples from Cinnabar Palace and Medicinal Saint Valley found themselves in an awkward position, as they were both bearing the charge of harming their fellow sect members, and the severest punishment from their respective sects awaited them.

The Elders from various sects discerned something was amiss; it was obvious that the cultivators behind were targeting the five cultivators who had just escaped.
