As the group proceeded forward, the bloody aura became stronger and stronger. In the end, everyone could feel the intense bloody aura.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Wei Xue Shuang immediately shouted. All the Skysword Sect disciples took out their weapons and looked around vigilantly. However, they did not find anything out of the ordinary.

"Corpses!"

Suddenly, someone screamed. They saw a badly mutilated corpse appear in front of them a hundred meters in front of them. For a moment, everyone's faces couldn't help but change greatly.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Wei Xue Shuang shouted.

She led a group of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples and walked towards the corpse with a frown. The corpse had been bitten beyond recognition, and it was impossible to tell who it was.

Just by looking at this person's attire, one could tell that this person was a disciple of the Skysword Sect. This caused the faces of all the Skysword Sect disciples to turn cold, and they felt a chill in their hearts.

"It's Senior Zhu. This is his personal jade pendant. A few days ago, he specifically showed it to me, saying that he's going to give it to a senior sister in the sect to let me see if it looks good."

From the pool of blood, he picked up a silver-coloured jade pendant that was stained with blood. Even if he died, Senior Zhu would tightly protect that jade pendant in his embrace, so that he would not be harmed in the slightest.

For a moment, everyone could not help but fall silent. Their hearts were filled with incomparable grief.

Most importantly, the Senior Zhu that the Heavenly Sword Sect disciple spoke of was an elite disciple within the school. His strength already reached the 7th level of the Spirit realm and within the disciples in the school, he could already be counted as an expert.

He would actually die tragically here.

"Senior sister, senior brother, there are still a lot of corpses ahead. There are at least thirty of them."

Another disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect walked out from the crowd and shouted at Wei Xueluo, Xiao Tianhe, and the others. His expression was extremely ugly and anger and fear could be seen from his brows.

Long Hao Chen and the others immediately followed this Skysword Sect disciple and chased after him. Not far away, they found dozens of corpses lying on the ground, all of them bitten into a bloody mess.

There were still a few corpses that had been devoured, only leaving behind a pile of white bones. The entire ground was dyed red by the corpses' blood, and a monstrous blood aura filled the surroundings.

Some of the Skysword Sect disciples could not bear the bloody scene and vomited.

Previously, when they only saw the corpse of the Skysword Sect disciple that was at the Spirit realm, the crowd of Skysword Sect disciples only felt anger. Only a few of the disciples had fear in their eyes.

And at this time, as they saw these dozens of corpses die so miserably on the ground, all of them felt a chill down their spines. They were incomparably terrified; they didn't dare imagine killing an Asura beast to increase their strength.

"Senior Sister, I've taken a look. Among these people, there are thirteen disciples of our Heavenly Sword Sect, eight disciples of the Blood Soul Sect, and eighteen disciples of the Divine Martial Sect. A total of thirty-nine people."

Very quickly, a disciple of the Skysword Sect had counted the number of corpses on the ground and reported it to Wei Xue Shuang.

"How many Skysword Sect disciples are able to identify themselves?"

Wei Xue Shuang asked.

"We can only see the identities of three people. The other corpses have already been completely destroyed. We can only judge whether they are inner court disciples or elite disciples through the uniform."

The Skysword Sect disciple immediately replied.

"Buried these corpses on the spot."

Wei Xue Shuang nodded as she heard this, her expression becoming ugly. There were only 200 disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect that had entered the Asura mystic realm, and they had already lost more than 10 people just after entering the mystic realm.

This was definitely not a good sign.

"Yes sir!"

After this Skysword Sect disciple heard Wei Xuanshuang's words, he revealed a bitter expression. However, he still resolutely nodded his head and directly threw a few holes in the ground and threw the corpses of these Skysword Sect disciples into it.

"Didn't these Asura Beasts kill so many people just to eat their corpses? Why did they leave these corpses here?" A Skysword Sect disciple suddenly asked.

The words of this Skysword Sect disciple caused all of the Skysword Sect disciples to frown.

"Do you think this is a trap set up by these Asura beasts?"

Long Hao Chen suddenly said.

"A trap?"

Wei Xue Shuang looked at Long Hao Chen.

Long Hao Chen lightly nodded and replied: "Just like how a fisherman, in order to catch delicious fat fish, he would first throw some tempting bait inside the fishnet, and then wait until the majority of the fish enter the net before catching them all in one go."

"Heh, Junior Apprentice Brother Long, your words are a bit too exaggerated. These Asura beasts are just a bunch of animals and they even set up a bait. Unless an Asura beast appears here right now, I absolutely do not believe that this is some trap. You are just making wild guesses!"

Hearing Long Hao Chen's words, Xiao Tian He, who had been sulking for a long time, finally grabbed the opportunity to speak sarcastically to Long Hao Chen. His eyes were filled with disdain.

"Senior apprentice-brother, you are right."

Long Hao Chen immediately and seriously nodded his head and responded upon hearing Xiao Tian He's words. Xiao Tian He's words were like a punch in the air; there was not even the slightest sound.

"Let's leave this place first."

Although her name, Xiao Tianhe, was purposely targeted at Long Hao Chen, as the only venerated martial arts expert of the Heavenly Sword Sect, she had no choice but to consider the safety of the disciples of the other sects.

If she took Long Hao Chen and left right now, with her strength, she was confident that she would be able to stay within the Asura mystic realm until the next time the mystic realm gate opened.

However, if they really did so, among all the disciples of the Skysword Sect, other than a few of them who might survive, the rest would most likely die in this secret realm.

"That's right. Let's leave this place first. The stench of blood in this area is just too strong. If we stay here, even if there aren't any Asura Beasts, I think we'll still attract many Asura Beasts."

Another Skysword Sect Successor Disciple said.

His strength wasn't much weaker than Xiao Tian He's. He was also a King's realm expert, but because his talent was inferior to Xiao Tian He's, he was only at the eighth level of the King's realm.

However, even if that was the case, a Martial King expert could be considered to be an expert within the borders of the Eastern Sky Region. In the entire Eastern Heaven Region, those who reached the Martial Saint realm were already well-known existences.

For example, although Wei Xueruo rarely went out of the Eastern Region, her reputation had long since spread throughout the Eastern Region. In fact, even the other four regions had quite a bit of fame.

After all, there were very few geniuses who could break through to the Martial Saint level at Wei Xue Shuang's age. Even if they were placed in the most powerful factions in the Heaven's Expanse Palace, they would still be nurtured …
