Good Fortune Immortal Road

Chapter 15: Deadly Battle in the Secret Realm

Fatty Li Ge and his companions saw no hope of making a move, so they planned to quickly retreat. However, Shen Lang didn't want to give them this opportunity.

With such careful and malicious intentions, if there was a bit more luck this time, this Li Ge would probably become an official disciple without any problem. Shen Lang didn't want to leave any future troubles for himself, so he made up his mind to take down this Li Ge.

A palm thunder was sent towards Li Ge, who was alert and quickly turned around to retreat. However, this was exactly Shen Lang's intention, to force him to turn around.

A majestic sword technique, filled with rolling killing intent, was used against Li Ge.

Li Ge was also a capable person. He rolled and dodged, avoiding direct harm from the sword qi, but his back was still injured by it.

In pain, Li Ge gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Lang, who held a sword with a murderous expression, and pleaded, "Senior brother, why did you hurt me for no reason?"

Shen Lang had already witnessed this person's treachery and didn't want to give him another chance to speak. With a ghost-like body movement, he appeared in front of Li Ge in the blink of an eye.

Li Ge was prepared and immediately used a Yin Fire Curse in front of him. Shen Lang had to quickly change his move.

Li Ge didn't retreat but instead shouted and swung a large knife towards Shen Lang.

Shen Lang easily used the edge of his sword to prevent Li Ge from exerting force.

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Ge turned around and swung the knife in a circular arc once again. Shen Lang avoided the blade and unleashed a sword qi directly towards Li Ge's chest.

Li Ge hurriedly dodged, but unfortunately, he was still a step too slow. His arm was cut with a deep wound that exposed the bone, and the large knife in his hand fell weakly.

Looking at Shen Lang, who was approaching with a murderous aura, Li Ge hadn't given up his last hope yet. He wanted to say something that would satisfy Shen Lang and spare his life.

Unfortunately, Shen Lang didn't give him this opportunity. He raised his hand and brought down the sword, slashing Li Ge's throat. Blood splattered onto Shen Lang's face.

At this moment, Shen Lang had no expression on his face and didn't care about the blood on his face. Li Ge, unwillingly clutching his throat, fell down.

Looking at the completely lifeless Li Ge, Shen Lang took out a token from his embrace and without looking back, went to chase and kill the other fleeing individuals.

Soon, Shen Lang had several tokens on him. The first time he killed someone, Shen Lang didn't think about how it would feel. It was just like killing a chicken, without any other feelings. He didn't feel weak or nauseous at the sight of blood.

He had already understood what kind of world this was. In this world, human life was worthless. Only one's own strength was a guarantee.

Although he felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, he quickly composed himself and looked for other targets.

Shen Lang didn't know that the elders and teachers outside the secret realm were watching him kill decisively and nodded in satisfaction.

In addition to requiring disciples with exceptional talent, the most important thing in the sect was that the disciples' temperament matched their talent. Netherworld Sect didn't need those who had talent but acted like children, fooling around every day.

Especially Soul-Eating Ancestor and Qinggui Ancestor, they were both very fond of Shen Lang. Yang Ming, who was also Shen Lang's mentor, felt proud as well.

The people they had just killed were just ordinary disciples, so no one cared. Only when they fought against other talented formal disciples would they know who was more outstanding.

Elder Bai Guang remained noncommittal. This was just the beginning, and he only glanced at the disciple named Shen Lang. He didn't have any special thoughts about him.

Elder Bai Guang also saw the leading disciples from the other classes, as well as An Fu, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Yingxue, who were performing well.

After killing a few people, Shen Lang didn't immediately take action again. Doing so would easily lead to being surrounded, which was not what Shen Lang wanted. It was just the beginning, and there was still more than two days left. Slowly reaping was the right way.

Carefully hiding his whereabouts, Shen Lang continued to search for prey in the secret realm, occasionally avoiding ghosts and zombies around him. These things didn't pose a big threat to Shen Lang, but in the secret realm, danger was always present. It was best to avoid it if possible.

After searching for a while, Shen Lang encountered several isolated disciples again. Without exception, he took their tokens. This time, Shen Lang didn't kill them. He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, and keeping them would add some chaos later on.

Shen Lang counted the ten tokens he had obtained and sighed. When it came to the end, how crazy would those without tokens be to obtain them?

It would definitely be a feast of slaughter, but it had nothing to do with Shen Lang. If you could have your token taken away by me before, it would be the same in the future. If anyone dared to have ill intentions towards him, they would regret it.

Now, let's think about how to find An Fu and the others. Scratching his head, Shen Lang carefully recalled if he had learned any spells related to detection. Soon, he remembered a spell about finding people - Ghostly Arrival. The caster must have an item with the scent of the person being sought, and then use this spell to command their own ghost to track them.

Coincidentally, Shen Lang had a few things that they had used. Shen Lang released a demon to search using secret techniques, and soon the demon grasped the whereabouts of the three of them.

The elders watching the secret realm in front of the water curtain were also surprised by Shen Lang's spell. They didn't expect a beginner disciple to master such a niche spell. After all, as a beginner disciple, who wouldn't study powerful spells? They usually paid no attention to auxiliary spells like this.

However, these elders were only slightly surprised. Once their cultivation reached a higher level, this kind of spell would become useless. But in the current situation, the assistance of these auxiliary spells might play a decisive role in the overall situation.

Soon, Shen Lang arrived next to Jiang Tao, who was lurking in a forest. Shen Lang quietly approached not far away and gave Jiang Tao a secret signal, which they had agreed upon in advance.

After receiving the signal, Jiang Tao did not appear immediately. Instead, he slowly approached Shen Lang. The two whispered to each other, "Brother Lang, how many tokens did you get?"

"I just picked up ten tokens. What about you?" Shen Lang replied in a low voice.

"I only got two. I encountered Luo Xiu and Leng Yuxuan a few times. They were surrounded by a group of people, making it difficult to make a move. I can only target those who are alone," Jiang Tao said with a worried expression.

Shen Lang nodded and replied, "We still have a little over two days. Let's go find them first."

With a pleasantly surprised expression, Jiang Tao asked, "Brother Lang, do you have a way to find them?"

Looking at Shen Lang's confident expression, the two continued to lurk and move without disturbing the surrounding vegetation.

Soon, the four of them gathered together and found a temporary cave. After setting up some early warning measures, they entered the cave.

Shen Lang was the first to speak and analyzed the situation for the others, "I have ten tokens now, Xiao Jiang has two, An Fu and Xiao Xue don't have any yet. According to the information you all obtained, the other classes have gathered quite a few people."

"If we suddenly rush out, the odds will be against us. Let's try to collect tokens from those who are alone. When we reach the final stage, the other classes will probably fight with the miscellaneous disciples. That will be our chance."

An Fu then asked, "Why don't we gather our own class disciples? That way, we can fight the miscellaneous disciples like them."

Shen Lang shook his head and denied this plan, "Having too many people will make it easier to expose our target. Unless there is a place that can accommodate so many people and hide them all, and the rest of the people are united and have good coordination, we should focus on strengthening ourselves instead of recruiting too many followers."

An Fu and Jiang Tao nodded in agreement. Jiang Yingxue then told the other three a piece of news, "I heard that besides the disciples' trials, there are also many good things in the secret realm. I heard that a disciple once accidentally discovered a place during the trial and obtained an Apex Level treasure. I don't know if this news is true or false."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang and the others couldn't help but brighten up. Shen Lang's heart was even more excited. He didn't expect such a good opportunity. He didn't know where Jiang Yingxue heard this news, but no one would refuse treasures, especially when their cultivation level was high and they needed various treasures.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lang spoke, "I didn't expect such news. We need to change our strategy. Let's quickly grab enough tokens for each person and then search for treasures in this secret realm. Unfortunately, we only have three days, so time is tight."

The other three also agreed with Shen Lang's opinion, so the four of them prepared themselves and began their operation to search for tokens after leaving the cave.

At this time, there were still quite a few disciples around. When they encountered a few people, the four of them would directly rush up and snatch the tokens. Those miscellaneous disciples and ordinary disciples were simply easy targets for the four of them.

When they encountered a large group of people, the four of them would try to avoid them. After all, it was only the first day. Even if they could defeat the other party, they would probably have to pay a considerable price. Shen Lang didn't want to be taken advantage of by others.

Soon, the four of them had obtained forty tokens. However, Shen Lang always felt that the rules for snatching the tokens were somewhat strange. Elder Bai Guang only said to snatch other people's tokens, but didn't mention how many to snatch. In that case, each person could only get ten tokens out of the total of one thousand, which was quite few.

But it was just the beginning now, and there was still more than two days left. Especially during the final big battle, that would be the best opportunity in Shen Lang's opinion. For now, they should try to snatch the ones that were easy to target and conserve their strength.

The four of them temporarily stopped snatching tokens and began their treasure hunting venture, wanting to see if they had the chance to obtain any treasures.

At this time, the four of them moved away from crowded places and specifically headed towards the dark and secluded paths and secret realms. Along the way, they also encountered several disciples who wanted to hide here until the end, so they took the opportunity to snatch their tokens.

It was already past noon when the four of them arrived under a dense forest and took a temporary rest.

Jiang Tao was the first to complain, "Xiao Xue, is your information accurate or not? We've been searching for so long and haven't even seen a trace of a treasure. Did someone deceive you?"

Hearing Jiang Tao's doubts, Xiao Xue replied somewhat displeased, "Believe it or not!"

Shen Lang interrupted the two and comforted them, "Xiao Jiang, don't worry. We've only been searching for such a short time. If treasures were so easy to find, then wouldn't everyone be able to find them? Be patient!"

Listening to Shen Lang's reassurance, Jiang Tao finally calmed down. The four of them discussed again and realized that this method of searching was not feasible. They didn't want to waste time if they couldn't find the treasure in the end.

Coincidentally, Shen Lang thought of a spell that could be used to explore the surrounding terrain. It could be used to investigate both the surface and underground, called Shadow Wave. It emitted an ultra-fast frequency wave through one's own shadow, and based on the feedback of the wave, one could understand the information about the surrounding terrain, similar to the previous ultrasound.

Shen Lang taught this spell to the other three, hoping that it would be somewhat useful. He himself also started using Shadow Wave to investigate the terrain.

An invisible wave spread out from Shen Lang as the center and returned after about forty zhang. Sensing the feedback, everything was normal in the surroundings, so Shen Lang and the other three had no choice but to move to another location.

Along the way, Shen Lang continuously used Shadow Wave, and the other three gradually mastered the spell as well. However, their range was not as large as Shen Lang's, only about ten zhang. The four of them continued their carpet-like search, inching forward bit by bit.
