Starting from iron smelting

Chapter 126 The secret realm is closed

Deep in the Beiya Cave, in the darkness, a majestic stone cave stands quietly. This is not an ordinary cave, but a place called "Middle Cave Hall", which is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. Stalactites hang from the top of the cave, crystal clear, emitting a faint light, which contrasts with the mottled stone patterns on the cave wall, forming a mysterious and ancient picture.

At this moment, several monks gathered in the middle cave hall. They were ragged and tired, but their eyes were shining with determination. These monks all survived a sudden disaster. They came from different sects, but at this moment they gathered together, looking for a way to escape from the predicament.

Lu Xiuyuan stood in the crowd, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. Although his face was a little tired, he was more calm and composed. He knew that he was different from these monks. He was carrying a huge secret, and this secret was the root cause of this disaster.

"We have no intention of competing for any chance, fortune, or natural treasures." A burly monk spoke in a hoarse but powerful voice, "We just want to practice in peace and seek the way to immortality." His words revealed a sense of helplessness and sadness. Obviously, this disaster was a heavy blow to them.

"Yes, I thought so too." Another monk echoed, with a bit of shame on his face, "But I sensed that the monks of our Giant Sword Sect have fallen one by one. I guess they must have encountered a devastating disaster. So I tried to protect myself and have survived until now. I'm really ashamed of myself." There was a bit of trembling in his voice, obviously he was recalling those painful past events.

"I heard that the murderer is a man named Lu Xiuyuan." A pretty female monk suddenly spoke. Her voice was clear and pleasant, but the content of her words shocked all the monks present.

"Lu Xiuyuan?" Everyone turned to look at Lu Xiuyuan, with a bit of scrutiny and vigilance in their eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan's heart tightened, but he quickly regained his composure. He knew that he could not reveal his identity, otherwise it would bring him more trouble. So, he smiled and said, "You have misunderstood. I don't know any Lu Xiuyuan. I am just an ordinary cultivator who survived this disaster by chance."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this. They began to believe Lu Xiuyuan's words. After all, in this chaotic era, who can completely trust others?

Lu Xiuyuan sat quietly in the middle hall of Beiya Cave, his figure seemed particularly lonely in the weak light of the stone cave. The monks around him were either whispering or communicating with each other with solemn expressions, but their voices and movements seemed unable to disturb Lu Xiuyuan's peaceful state of mind.

Lu Xiuyuan was thinking in his mind. He knew that the Beiyadong secret realm was about to close. Once the secret realm was closed, the monks would be teleported out and return to their own worlds. However, he also knew that because of his actions in the secret realm, he would inevitably attract the attention and trouble of other sects. But Lu Xiuyuan was not worried. He believed that his master Xuan Miaozi would support him. When the time came, he only needed to explain the whole story one by one, and he would be able to turn the danger into safety.

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded, with a hint of majesty and solemnity in the voice: "Giant Sword Sect, Wang Ergou." This is the law of heaven and earth in the Beiya Cave Secret Realm, counting the number of people. If no one answers, it will move on to the next one.

"Juling Sect, Li Chen." This voice was as loud as a bell, echoing throughout the space. Then, a clear and pleasant voice responded: "Here!" There was no doubt that this was the voice made by Li Chen.

Along with his response, a dazzling beam of light suddenly lit up, as if tearing through the void. This beam of light expanded at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye it completely enveloped Li Chen. Then, the light flashed by, and Li Chen's figure disappeared, apparently having been teleported away.

The monks who witnessed this scene suddenly became agitated, whispering and discussing. "What do you think, will Lu Xiuyuan come?" A monk who was full of curiosity could not help but ask.

"Lu Xiuyuan? The ruthless guy who has killed countless monks? Why wouldn't he come?" Another monk immediately took over the conversation with a hint of awe in his tone.

"Yes, I've heard that his strength is unfathomable. Even the chief disciple of the Giant Sword Sect is no match for him." Someone echoed, saying that he knew something about this legendary figure.

"But...is the road here really that long? I don't want to share a room with such a ruthless person." A timid monk murmured in a low voice, as if he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Lu Xiuyuan who was meditating. They looked at this unknown young man with a calm face and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Could this young man who looked so ordinary be the legendary Lu Xiuyuan?

However, just as everyone was talking and discussing, the mysterious and unfamiliar voice came again: "Lu Xiuyuan."

These three words seemed to carry an irresistible magic, making the originally noisy scene quiet in an instant.

Hearing someone calling his name, Lu Xiuyuan, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were deep and calm, like a pool of still water without the slightest ripple. Then, he slowly stood up from his seat, his movements graceful and natural, revealing an innate confidence and composure.

He responded in a light tone: "Here!" The voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Almost at the same time, a dazzling beam of light descended from the sky, accurately enveloping Lu Xiuyuan. The light was so bright that people dared not look directly at it. Under the reflection of this magical beam of light, Lu Xiuyuan's figure became taller and taller, and a layer of hazy light emanated from his body, giving people a feeling of both sacredness and mystery.

Everyone present was stunned by this amazing sight. They never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually the legendary Lu Xiuyuan!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Lu Xiuyuan, who was enveloped by the beam of light, and they could not help but feel a deep sense of awe. They secretly wondered what kind of extraordinary origin and ability this man had? Why could he cause such a strange celestial phenomenon?

Driven by this feeling of awe, the originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and the only thing left in the entire space was the dazzling beam of light and Lu Xiuyuan's solemn figure.

"So he is Lu Xiuyuan! What a hidden talent!" exclaimed a monk.

"Yes, look at how calm he is, as if nothing had happened. People like this are truly ruthless!" another monk echoed.

The moment Lu Xiuyuan was transported away by the beam of light, a scornful smile appeared on his lips. He knew that his true identity had been known by these monks.
