“T-that’s a-amazing!”

After a while, a sectless cultivator regained his senses, but an expression of shock and disbelief could be seen on his face. It was as though he had seen a ghost. The others had a similar expression to him.

Although they knew Pei Si Hai was powerful, they did not expect him to be so powerful!

In a blink of an eye, he managed to create an opening in the space barrier into the treasure vault that was suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial?

If it were me, I don’t think I’ll be able to find the space barrier even if I was given double the time…’ The Violet Dragon King, the leader of the Four Great Karmapas from the Black Kshetra Sect, had a solemn expression on her face when she thought about what happened. She was surprised by Pei Si Hai’s observation skills. As for Pei Si Hai’s ability to create an opening in the space barrier, she was not surprised since she was capable of doing that as well. Naturally, she knew Pei Si Hai did not use all his strength when he created an opening in the space barrier. He had merely used his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Blade coupled with his blade technique. He did not use any Divine Abilities.

Earlier, he asked if we had seen Meng Hao?’ The Violet Dragon King thought about Meng Hao whose position in the Supreme Saint Ranking was above Wei Suo the Green Bat King, one of the Four Great Karmapas in the Black Kshetra Sect.

Stern-Faced Scholar, Meng Hao! The powerhouse at the Seventh Form of the Saint Celestial Stage who was ranked 21st on the Supreme Saint Ranking!

She also knew something else. About two years ago, the Black Kshetra Sect’s Green Bat King, Wei Suo, had challenged Meng Hao to a duel and was defeated within a hundred moves. Meng Hao was stronger than Wei Suo! That was clear to her.

Meng Hao had also entered the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial?’ With that thought in mind, the Violet Dragon King became grimmer and grimmer. However, her face was hidden under the veil so no one noticed the change in her expression.

Originally, the Violet Dragon King planned to follow Pei Si Hai into the treasure vault that was suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial through that opening… However, she began to hesitate.

Earlier, when Pei Si Hai asked if anyone had seen Meng Hao, she could see a hint of anxiety in his eyes as though there was something he was worried about.

Could it be… Could something have happened to Meng Hao just like Wei Suo?’ The Violet Dragon King’s eyes widened when she thought about this as her expression changed again.

After a while, the Violet Dragon King’s attention was caught by something else. Hu!

A gust of wind appeared again and someone appeared before the entrance that had been opened by Pei Si Hai.

The figure that appeared looked extremely wretched.

That’s…’ The Violet Dragon King’s eyes widened in shock when she had a closer look at the person who had appeared. An expression of shock and disbelief appeared in her eyes. It was though she had seen something she could not believe.

“Pei…Lord Pei Si Hai?!”

“How’s that possible?!”

Meanwhile, when the others saw the person who had appeared near the entrance, they were stunned when they saw who it was. They all cried out in shock.

When Pei Si Hai went in, he carried his sheathed blade on his back. He had an impressive appearance and an imposing presence. Currently, he had lost his impressive and imposing manner. He had even lost the Thousand Inscriptions Saint Blade. He only had the sheath left on his back. Moreover, his left arm had been severed at the shoulder and there were bloodstains all over his robe. He looked extremely wretched. In his right hand, he was holding a small but cracked golden bell.

Looking at Pei Si Hai’s appearance, it was no wonder the Violet Dragon King and the others were shocked!

“What… What happened?”

“What… What’s going on? What could make Lord Pei Si Hai look so wretched? Lord Pei Si Hai is ranked seventh on the Supreme Saint Ranking, and his cultivation base is already at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage!”

“If I didn’t see this with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed this. Lord Pei Si Hai had entered the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial for such a short time, how did he end up like this?”

Yes. If the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial is really so terrifying, how could one obtain the treasures and legacies? Everyone would probably die there!”

After seeing Pei Si Hai’s injured appearance, many people began to discuss among themselves. As they continued to talk, suddenly, it seemed like they recalled something as they looked at each other with a horrified expression on their faces.

“Looking at how Lord Pei Si Hai is so severely injured after going in for a short while to investigate this matter, it seems like the treasure vault is truly terrifying!”

“Yes! Otherwise, the Green Bat King, one of Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas, wouldn’t have died in there!”

“Even someone as strong as Wei Suo the Green Bat King had died in there… It’s no wonder the high-ranking officials from Seven Kill Alliance, the Thousand Years Alliance, and the Eternal Alliance had died as well!”

At this time, most people finally figured out why so many people had died there.

Even someone as strong as Pei Si Hai had also lost an arm and his Thousand Inscriptions Saint Blade after entering that treasure vault that was suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial for a short while, let alone Wei Suo and the others who were much weaker than Pei Si Hai.

Fear rose in everyone’s hearts when they realized just how terrifying the treasure vault that was suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial was…

You… You have the Boundless Bell with you?”

A woman’s voice that sounded cold with a tinge of surprise rang in everyone’s ears.

After a while, they discovered the person who had spoken was the Violet Dragon King, the leader of the Black Kshetra Sect’s Four Great Karmapas.

The Violet Dragon King looked at Pei Si Hai as she spoke to him. To be more precise, she was not looking at Pei Si Hai. She was looking at the small, cracked golden bell held in Pei Si Hai’s right hand. It was as though the small golden bell was something special. Upon closer inspection, one could tell the crack on the small golden bell was new.

Just as everyone followed the Violet Dragon King’s line of sight and looked at the small golden bell, they saw that it was engraved with ancient and intricate carvings. The carvings were life-like and mesmerized those who saw it, causing them to fall into a daze.

After a few moments, the people looking at the bell began to feel disoriented and they quickly looked away.

Soon after, a middle-aged sectless cultivator cried out in a low voice, “The Boundless Bell? The Boundless Bell is one of the Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking?”

His words caused everyone to regain their senses.

“The small golden bell in Lord Pei Si Hai’s hand is the Super Saint Weapon, the Boundless Bell?”

“I heard that out of the ten Super Saint Weapons on the Ten Great Saint Weapons Ranking, there are only three defensive Super Saint Weapons… The Boundless Bell is one of them!”

“Defensive Super Saint Weapon? That small golden bell?”

“Oh, God! If this is really the Boundless Bell…How powerful was the force to be able to leave a crack on it?”

“Looking at the crack on the Boundless Bell, it’s obviously new. Did it crack when Lord Pei Si Hai entered the treasure vault that’s suspected to be left behind by an Eminent Celestial?”

The focus of everyone’s attention was not on how Pei Si Hai managed to obtain the Super Saint Weapon, the Boundless Bell, their attention was on the new crack on the Boundless Bell.

Nevertheless, Pei Si Hai did not respond to the Violet Dragon King’s questions. He stood motionless for a moment. At this time, many scenes were flashing in his mind. He was so close to dying!

At some point, Pei Si Hai lowered his head to look at the small golden bell in his right hand, he was secretly thankful. ‘Fortunately, I have this Super Saint Weapon, the Boundless Bell, that master gave me. Otherwise, I would’ve died earlier! This pseudo realm is not a treasure vault. It’s more like a trap that’s left behind by an Eminent Celestial!’ Pei Si Hai thought to himself as his expression darkened.

I think Senior Brother Bai Li’s Soul Pearl has shattered because he entered the pseudo realm and was killed by the Killing Formation inside…’ A downcast expression appeared on Pei Si Hai’s face when he thought about this.

Pei Si Hai had come for Bai Li. Bai Li, the powerhouse at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, was ranked ninth on the Supreme Saint Ranking. He was also one of the patrons of Sin City. Moreover, he was a handful of sectless cultivators whose cultivation base was at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage in the Dao Martial Saint Land.

No one knew that Bai Li was also one of Nie Wu Tian’s personal disciples! In fact, he was accepted as a disciple earlier than Pei Si Hai was.

However, Bai Li refused to publicly announce he was a disciple of Nie Wu Tian because he thought his innate talent was not good enough and would bring shame to Nie Wu Tian. Naturally, he still acknowledged Nie Wu Tian as his master in private. Moreover, he treated his youngest junior brother, Pei Si Hai, very well.

To Pei Si Hai, Bai Li was like his biological elder brother! He had Bai Li’s Soul Pearl with him. He had rushed to Sin City immediately when he discovered Bai Li’s Soul Pearl had shattered.

After learning that Bai Li had left Sin City after meeting with Meng Hao, Pei Si Hai began to track Meng Hao’s whereabouts. Eventually, it led him here.
