Wang Ruoxie naturally understood that although it seemed like only a word from Zhou Wuji and Liu Chen, it was enough to drive these people crazy.

One must understand, even in an average Secret Realm, as long as luck isn't too bad, the treasure resources that can be obtained are extremely abundant. If fortune is especially favorable, and the true inheritance within is acquired, then it could be regarded as an enormous opportunity.

Moreover, this Black Tortoise Secret Realm might be related to the Divine Beast Black Tortoise and has existed for at least a thousand years, so it must contain more treasure resources.

Judging by the aura emanating from these people at this moment, not only had their Cultivation power been restored to full, but they had also improved to varying degrees.

This already sufficiently indicated that the opportunities within the Black Tortoise Secret Realm were far beyond those of an ordinary Secret Realm.

One must know that the entire Black Tortoise Secret Realm was shrouded by an Array, especially the Spirit-Banning Array. Though it hadn't completely suppressed everyone's Cultivation, it significantly suppressed their Cultivation power.

Yet, even so, the crowd now still managed to withstand the suppression of the Spirit-Banning Array, and some even enhanced their Cultivation power.

The fact is, they've all benefited considerably from the opportunities here.

Of course, with thousands entering the Black Tortoise Secret Realm and fewer than a thousand gathered here now, it's evident that opportunities often come with peril.

Wang Ruoxie glanced at those who bore hostility toward him. Among them, most had reached the Middle Stage of the Meridian Passage Realm, and several had even broken through to the Sixth Layer, only a step away from the Late Stage of the Meridian Passage Realm.

Of course, with his current Cultivation power, even if these greedy people dared to make a move, he had no fear at all.

He was even confident in battling Zhou Wuji, who had broken through to the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm.

"Is he Wang Ruoxie?"

"Word from the Zhou Family's prodigy and the second young master of the Liu Family has been circulated; if we kill him, we won't have to hand over any of our gains. I thought this guy must be something special, but it turns out he's nothing much."

"With a Cultivation of the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, it doesn't seem hard to kill him."

The crowd at this moment was also scrutinizing Wang Ruoxie with strange looks, whispering in small groups.

"What happened... the second young master hasn't arrived at this Inheritance Land yet?"

"Could something have happened to Brother Chen?"

"It shouldn't be. Brother Chen has the Black Tortoise Jade Talisman given by the Patriarch, so there's no way he'd face any danger. Even if someone wanted to kill him, as long as he crushed the Black Tortoise Jade Talisman, he'd be safe."

The members of the Liu Family were all showing expressions of confusion because they found that Liu Chen was not present.

Before entering the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, they already knew the route to reach this Inheritance Land, and as long as they followed it, they could arrive here safely.

Furthermore, Liu Chen has the Black Tortoise Jade Talisman given by the Patriarch, able to protect his life in case of any life-threatening danger.

"The second young master holds a grudge against this person, could it be..."

Suddenly, a youth from the Liu Family, dressed in black and with a Cultivation at the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, shifted his gaze to Wang Ruoxie, looking coldly as he spoke.

"This guy has a grudge with the second young master, and due to the agreement between the three great families, no fighting or killing was allowed before entering the Black Tortoise Secret Realm, letting him live a bit longer. Now it's time to settle him."

Another Liu Family youth, at the Sixth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, said to the black-clothed youth: "Liu Song, go take his life."

"I just broke through to the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, I might as well use this kid for practice."

The black-clothed youth from the Liu Family nodded in agreement.

After speaking, he directly stepped forward to Wang Ruoxie, saying coldly: "Wang Ruoxie, you foolishly offended the second young master, now I will take your life and present your head as a gift to the second young master."

"To use my head as a gift for Liu Chen?"

Upon hearing Liu Song's words, Wang Ruoxie merely smiled indifferently and said: "You'll have to go down below to find him for that."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Song's expression changed upon hearing this, and he immediately spoke up.

"Aren't you all curious why Liu Chen hasn't shown up? That's because he's already dead; he will never appear again."

Wang Ruoxie's voice came out slowly, causing all members of the Liu Family to change their expressions dramatically.

The surrounding people also narrowed their eyes. Liu Chen, a leading figure of the young generation in the Liu Family, was already dead?

"You killed the second young master?"

Liu Song fixed his cold gaze on Wang Ruoxie, saying fiercely.

"Well, he wanted to kill me, so naturally, I wouldn't let him continue living."

Wang Ruoxie replied lightly.

"Kid, I will tear you into pieces to avenge the second young master."

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Liu Song bellowed in anger and then punched directly at Wang Ruoxie.

The ferocious True Essence enveloped his fist, shining brightly.

The gust from the punch was fierce. Liu Song's fist came with an overwhelming momentum, rushing to strike Wang Ruoxie.

Wherever it passed, the space twisted and almost seemed to crack, evidencing the terrifying power contained within the punch.

"Die."

A flash of cold light crossed Wang Ruoxie's eyes, and he also threw a punch.

The punch carried no momentum and didn't even seem to use True Essence. It looked like an ordinary punch, yet Liu Song felt a terrifying aura engulf him instantly.

"Not good!"

Liu Song's heart trembled violently, and he intended to retract his punch and retreat.

However, it was too late. With a thud, Liu Song's entire body was blasted backward.

"Puff…"

A large amount of blood spewed from Liu Song's mouth, and a shocking blood hole was visible in his Heart Vein area.

This single punch from Wang Ruoxie penetrated Liu Song's Heart Vein and killed him outright.

"Hiss!"

Witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in shock.

Almost everyone looked at Wang Ruoxie with eyes full of astonishment, especially the Liu Family members, all of them showing fear and disbelief.

At the same Cultivation of the Fifth Layer of the Meridian Passage Realm, Liu Song was utterly vulnerable in front of Wang Ruoxie.

The crowd finally understood why this guy boldly claimed he had killed Liu Chen. His power was overwhelmingly strong, with no need to fear the Liu Family at all.

It's likely Wang Ruoxie didn't consider these Liu Family members worthy of attention. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to kill Liu Song on the spot with one punch.

Zhou Wuji's eyes narrowed, and although his gaze toward Wang Ruoxie was still filled with cold killing intent, there was now also a hint of apprehension.

Xie Yuya also looked at Wang Ruoxie with astonished eyes, seemingly not expecting his strength to have reached such a level.

"This person's power is terrifying."

Many in the crowd who were not part of the Liu or Zhou family abandoned their previous intentions upon witnessing Wang Ruoxie's fearsome power.

Although the conditions offered by the Liu and Zhou families were incredibly tempting, it wasn't worth risking their lives for.

The punch that Wang Ruoxie just threw, they could never withstand it. If it were them, the outcome would likely be the same as Liu Song's.
