Venerable Martial Emperor

After the disciples of the Xu family entered this place, Hong Qingyun and the others immediately became alert.    

    

The things inside the stone room had been searched by the disciples of the Hong family. The Medicine Pill, spirit materials, and some valuable items had all been found.    

    

The disciples of the Xu family also spread out and deliberately avoided the people of the Hong family. They searched again.    

    

In the southeast corner, a disciple of the Xu family was searching the wall of the stone room. Suddenly, he triggered a mechanism and two arrows were shot out. This disciple of the Xu family was very cautious. He had been prepared for this and avoided the arrows by a narrow margin.    

    

A cracking sound was heard. This corner immediately attracted the attention of many people.    

    

One of them was a disciple of the ___. A box shot out. The disciples of the Xu family picked it up and opened it. When they opened it, their faces were filled with wild joy.    

    

Inside the box was a piece of paper specially made from beast skin. The purpose of this paper was to record martial arts.    

    

This disciple of the Xu family was lucky enough to obtain a martial art!    

    

Someone who could be carefully arranged and kept by the owner of the cave must not be an ordinary person.    

    

Hong Qingyun gave a look to his fellow clansmen and surrounded the disciple of the Xu family.    

    

When Xu Lei saw this scene, his eyes flickered. He looked at the lucky disciple from the Xu family, then at Xu Feng. Suddenly, he let out a cold laugh and pretended not to see anything. He didn't warn the disciple from the Xu family either.    

    

The disciple opened the beastskin parchment and started reading it. After a while, he let out an excited cheer.    

    

"Young Patriarch, I found a Middle Grade Martial Art..."    

    

Xu Feng was deep in thought. When he heard the voice and looked over, his expression immediately changed.    

    

"Hong Qingyun, you dare!"    

    

Under Hong Qingyun's lead, a group of Hong family disciples blocked the disciple from the Xu family. When he shouted, they launched an attack at him.    

    

A series of palm shadows and fist shadows were seen. Yuan Qi was wreaking havoc. The disciples of the Xu family were surrounded and attacked. Caught off guard, they were knocked down to the ground in an instant, and they spat out a mouthful of blood!    

    

A disciple from the Hong family squatted down and snatched the martial art from his hand, then respectfully handed it over to Hong Qingyun.    

    

When Xu Feng finally reacted, the disciple of the Xu family was being attacked. The furious Xu Feng rushed over, but before he could stop him, the disciple fell into a pool of blood.    

    

This sudden change happened too suddenly. Xu Lei was the only one who was closest to him, but he acted as if he didn't see it.    

    

Two experts from the Hong family stood out with ferocious smiles on their faces, blocking Xu Feng's path.    

    

Both of them were Martial Arts Seventh Layer warriors. The average strength of the young disciples of the Hong family was much higher than that of the Xu family.    

    

Hong Qingyun was calm and composed. He took a few glances at the martial art scroll and nodded his head in satisfaction. After that, he put it away and looked at Xu Feng.    

    

"Xu Feng, the Hong family came here first, and we even lost a few people. Only then did we eliminate the danger here. Everything in the stone room should belong to the Hong family. Do you want to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth?"    

    

The disciples of the Xu family also surrounded him. The two families were confronting each other.    

    

The two families had joined hands to enter this place, and there was bound to be a conflict between them. But, who would have thought that the people of the Hong family would be so domineering? This was simply too much!    

    

Xu Feng's eyes were cold, and he walked forward without saying a word.    

    

"Xu Feng, since you are in such a hurry to die, I will grant your wish..."    

    

Hong Qingyun thought that Xu Feng would personally take action to regain his reputation. The Yuan Qi in his body fluctuated. Just as he was speaking, Xu Feng walked past him.    

    

Xu Feng walked to the injured disciple of Hong family and helped him up.    

    

Hong Qingyun looked at Xu Feng's back, and his eyes kept blinking. The Yuan energy waves emitted from his body became stronger, and he could attack Xu Feng at any time.    

    

A few disciples of the Xu family also stepped forward. In this kind of confrontation between two groups of people, if one was not careful, it would immediately lead to a group battle.    

    

The injured disciples of the Xu family had pale faces, and a large number of their bones were broken. Their Qi was weak, and it was obvious that they had suffered serious internal injuries.    

    

Xu Feng took out a 'Essence Cultivating Pill' and stuffed it into the man's mouth. After that, he circulated his Yuan Qi to help the man quickly unleash the power of the Medicine Pill.    

    

"Young master Qingyun, how about..." One of the Hong family disciples couldn't hold it in anymore. He waved his blade in the air and looked at Xu Feng.    

    

Hong Qingyun hesitated for a moment before shaking his head.    

    

"We have just entered the secret realm. If we attack the disciples of the Xu family now, we will definitely suffer some injuries. We might as well let them take the lead first and then kill them all in one go! " Hong Qingyun thought to himself.    

    

The Essence Cultivating Pill quickly took effect. The injuries on this Xu family disciple's body quickly recovered.    

    

Although he couldn't fully recover immediately, he had at least saved his life, and there were no hidden dangers.    

    

This Xu family disciple glared at the people of the Hong family not far away. He was furious and aggrieved, "Young Patriarch, the people of the Hong family have gone too far! They..."    

    

Xu Feng shook his head and stopped him from continuing.    

    

"Nothing is more valuable than our lives. You should rest. Be careful behind you."    

    

Xu Feng ordered a disciple of his family to take care of his injured kin. Only then did he look at Hong Qingyun.    

    

"Hong Qingyun, do you want to start a war with my Xu family? If that's the case, there's no need for us to continue going down."    

    

Xu Feng's voice was very cold. His attitude could not be said to be firm, and there was still room for negotiation.    

    

This Hong Qingyun gave Xu Feng an extremely dangerous feeling. He was not confident that he could defeat this man.    

    

Compared to the strength of the disciples of the Xu and Hong families, the Xu family was obviously at a disadvantage.    

    

If it was just a one on one battle, no matter how strong the opponent was, Xu Feng wouldn't be afraid. However, she was now the leader of the Xu family. Young Patriarch's identity needed to consider the overall situation.    

    

Unless absolutely necessary, it would be inappropriate to have a conflict with the Hong family right now.    

    

Besides, Xu Feng had already made some guesses about this so-called secret realm while he was in deep thought.    

    

If there were no mistakes, Xu Feng was certain that he would protect his fellow clansmen during the next period of time.    

    

He would use this place to exhaust the strength of the Hong family's disciples, then he would slowly find an opportunity to do so.    

    

He would endure hatred and humiliation first. When the time came, he would repay them with double the amount!    

    

"Hehe... What did Xu Young Patriarch say? If you have the ability... You can also rob us! The people of Hong family came here first, and one of them even died. After paying such a huge price, this martial art should belong to the Hong family."    

    

All the disciples of Xu family scolded the people of the Hong family for being shameless. The people of the Hong family didn't want to be outdone either. Both sides started arguing.    

    

Xu Feng stopped the disciples of the Xu family. Hong Qingyun also asked the people of the Hong family to calm down.    

    

"Xu Young Patriarch, let me take a step back. I have already obtained this martial art. It's impossible for me to let it go again... I will find some treasure later on, and it has fallen into the hands of some disciples. It will belong to whoever it belongs to. The two of us will work together first and make a fuss after exploring this secret realm. What do you think?"    

    

Hong Qingyun also knew that if they continued to be aggressive, they could only start a war. Although he wasn't afraid of these people from the Xu family, it wasn't wise to start a war now.    

    

"Hong Qingyun, I hope you keep your word!"    

    

Xu Feng coldly snorted and replied, agreeing to Hong Qingyun's' agreement '.    

    

With the discovery of the Xu family disciples, Hong Qingyun and the others started searching the stone room again.    

    

It could be said that they had dug three feet deep into the ground, allowing the Hong family to find quite a few good things.    

    

There were few Medicine Pill and martial arts techniques, but they had discovered quite a few precious items. A lucky disciple of the Hong family had even dug out half a box of primeval stones from the underground of the stone chamber.    

    

Xu Feng noticed Xu Lei. He rarely kept a low profile after entering this place. He had come into contact with two disciples of the Xu family. After muttering to himself for a while, he wandered around the stone chamber aimlessly.    

    

The door leading to the inner part of the stone chamber was guarded by two disciples of the Hong family. When the disciples of the Hong family felt that it was more or less the same and plundered all the valuable things here, Hong Qingyun gathered his people and prepared to go to the next level.    

    

This time, Hong Qingyun didn't let all his disciples go in first. Instead, he found Xu Feng and asked the two disciples of the Xu family to lead the way.    

    

It was obvious that he wanted the disciples of the Xu family to lead the way.    

    

Xu Feng didn't refuse, but what surprised Hong Qingyun was that he took the initiative to ask Xu Feng to lead the way.    

    

"Since Xu Young Patriarch is in such a hurry, I'll do as you say."    

    

Hong Qingyun gave him a meaningful look. Two Martial Arts Seventh Layer warriors from the Hong family followed closely behind Xu Feng.    

    

The stone room was no longer a horizontal tunnel, but a cave that led downwards.    

    

This was the deepest part of the underground area of Ululating Mountain. If one went deeper, even the air would become thin.    

    

The cave that meandered to the underground was very deep. There were scratches on the walls of the cave. The deeper he went, the more he found human and beast bones and feces on the ground.    

    

Xu Feng was walking at the front. Behind him were two experts of Hong family, followed by Hong Qingyun and the rest of the disciples of Hong family. The disciples of Xu family were walking at the back.    

    

Someone accidentally stepped on the bones. The bones cracked and cracked. These bones had already become fragile due to the erosion.    

    

There was a defense mechanism on the outside. Before the Xu and Hong families joined forces to open this place, this place was sealed off.    

    

The lower one went, the lower the temperature would be. However, what was unusual was that after walking forward for the time it takes for a few incense sticks to burn, Xu Feng felt that this place was getting hotter and hotter.    

    

"Could this cave lead to the core of the earth? It shouldn't be that exaggerated."    

    

Xu Feng's walking speed was not fast, and he was very vigilant.    

    

"Hot, it's really hot! Could it be lava underneath?"    

    

"Who knows? Maybe there is a fire attribute treasure underground? The martial arts of our Hong family are the most compatible with the fire element."    

    

The two disciples of the Hong family behind Xu Feng whispered to each other.    

    

Xu Feng suddenly stopped and frowned.    

    

"Xu Young Patriarch, why aren't you leaving?"    

    

"Hehe... Could it be that he was afraid of danger ahead? A young man who has just broken through to the Martial Arts Seventh Layer has become the Young Patriarch of the Xu family. It's normal for him to be timid. "    

    

These two disciples of the Hong family were both at the Martial Arts Seventh Layer, but in the Hong family, they were only considered elites amongst the younger generation.    

    

Xu Feng's cultivation base is not as high as theirs, but his status is much higher than theirs.    

    

The Xu and Hong families were enemies. Not only did these two people have hostility towards Xu Feng, they were also jealous of him.    

    

Xu Feng ignored their sarcasm and continued to advance forward.    

    

Although Hong Qingyun and the others were behind them, they were not far away. Soon, they also came forward.    

    

Hong Qingyun came to Xu Feng. This cave could only accommodate two or three people at the same time. The two of them were very close to each other. Both of them tensed up, in case the other party plotted against them.    

    

Hong Qingyun's expression suddenly changed. He subconsciously looked at Xu Feng. Both of them looked at each other. Hong Qingyun's expression suddenly changed into a smile that was not a smile.    

    

"Xu Feng, your senses are quite sharp. But... someone has to make a lightning trip. They can't just stop here because there is danger ahead, right?"    

    

Xu Feng stopped because he sensed a very strange fluctuation.    

    

The restriction of the courtyard outside Master Yun's city was located within it. If it was triggered, the fluctuation emitted would be very similar to that of this place.    

    

This meant that there should be an exit not far ahead, but it was also a dangerous place.    

    

The existence of the restriction was to defend against it.    

    

Hong Qingyun had gone out to Celestial Wind City to train, and he had seen a lot of things. He had also realized the danger ahead.    

    

What Hong Qingyun meant was that he wanted to force Xu Feng to continue moving forward.    

    

"Disciples of Xu family, after entering the next stage, you are not allowed to act without my orders!"    

    

After Xu Feng had warned the disciples of his family, he did not stay in a deadlock with Hong Qingyun and continued forward.    

    

"Hmph, what Young Patriarch Xu? I told you to move forward, but you are still not going to listen to me?" When Hong Qingyun saw Xu Feng 'yield', he was very pleased with himself. At the same time, he also looked down on Xu Feng.    

    

Although there was danger ahead, if he guessed correctly, he should be more careful. Xu Feng thought that he could handle it, so he didn't want to fight Hong Qingyun for no reason.    

    

At the bottom of the cave, there was a stone tablet in front of him. On top of it, there were a few bright red words, Forbidden area, do not enter!
