Under the control of the Immortal-binding Rope and the Celestial Net, the three Golden Core cultivators struggled frantically in the lake.

If it were ordinary fishing, they certainly wouldn't be caught.

However, the Rainbow Fish is not an ordinary fish but a very ferocious demon fish.

With three "prey" thrashing so lively in front of it, one Rainbow Fish finally couldn't resist. A red shadow shot straight towards the three Golden Core cultivators.

At the moment the red shadow was about to reach them, the three Golden Core cultivators suddenly broke free from the Celestial Net and the Immortal-binding Rope and disappeared, having been thrown out of the secret realm by the Azurecloud Sect.

The sudden turn of events left Zhang Yang momentarily stunned, muttering to himself, "I didn't even plan to kill them... my fish!"

The Celestial Net, in conjunction with the Immortal-binding Rope, the two spirit-grade tools combined, captured another Rainbow Fish.

Beside him, Jiang Zhiqiu finally saw the true form of the Rainbow Fish.

He had clearly observed earlier how the Rainbow Fish's sudden attack speed was something ordinary people couldn't defend against.

Moreover, even when caught by the Celestial Net, it struggled so fiercely... Even a Golden Core peak cultivator couldn't move when caught, this Rainbow Fish is stronger than the Golden Core Realm!

"Haha!" Zhang Yang laughed triumphantly, "This fish is bigger, it can make more fish soup. Little Cauldron, cook it into a pot too, and take it back for Master and the others to taste."

He activated the bronze cauldron, cooking the second Rainbow Fish together.

Looking at the cauldron full of fish soup, Zhang Yang used a bucket that used to hold water to store the fish soup, satisfied as he put away the bronze cauldron.

"Having caught two in a row, catching another Rainbow Fish should be difficult. Let's take this chance to explore other places. Brother Jiang, will you act on your own, or come with me?" Zhang Yang looked at Jiang Zhiqiu.

Jiang Zhiqiu smiled wryly, "I'll stick with Senior Brother."

Three Golden Core cultivators could chase him all over the place, but Zhang Yang could trap three Golden Core cultivators, so it's safer to stay with Zhang Yang.

The two had just walked a short distance when they quickly encountered a Foundation Establishment cultivator being chased by a Golden Core cultivator.

This time, the secret realm didn't separate the Golden Core and Foundation Establishment stages, mixing them together. However, with Qingyunzi ensuring everyone's safety, it wasn't a big deal. Of course, those like the Heavenmyst Sect who signed life-and-death agreements were beyond help.

But for a Golden Core cultivator to shamelessly chase a Foundation Establishment cultivator, isn't that too much?

The Golden Core cultivator, who was chasing the Foundation Establishment cultivator, saw Zhang Yang and Jiang Zhiqiu and couldn't help but exclaim, "Zhang Yang is here!"

Then, he turned and ran.

This sudden scene left not only Zhang Yang and Jiang Zhiqiu stunned but also the small Foundation Establishment cultivator.

What happened?

Before Zhang Yang could recover, over a dozen Golden Core cultivators surrounded them from all directions. Even before they arrived, spells and magical treasures flew towards them.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator's face turned pale. He initially thought he was saved, but instead, he found himself in a situation of certain death.

Before he could react, he was already involuntarily appearing at the gates of the Azurecloud Sect.

"Senior Brother!" Jiang Zhiqiu was extremely bitter. He thought it would be safer with Zhang Yang, but unexpectedly, they fell into a trap surrounded by over a dozen Golden Core cultivators.

Zhang Yang also didn't expect that so many Golden Core cultivators would come just to kill him.

"Don't move!" Zhang Yang warned, flipping a bamboo basket over Jiang Zhiqiu, which emitted a powerful spiritual power fluctuation.

Simultaneously, the Mingguang Armor on Zhang Yang's body activated.

The spells and magical treasures from over a dozen Golden Core cultivators all bombarded the light shield of the Mingguang Armor. The light shield shook under the fierce assault of the Golden Core cultivators but ultimately did not break.

In the crowd, one Golden Core cultivator shouted fiercely, "Azurecloud Sect's defensive spirit tool, Mingguang Armor! Defensive spirit tool, Dragon King Basket! That's six spirit-grade tools in total! Everyone, hurry and take him down so we can split the spirit tools!"

The over a dozen Golden Core cultivators were very excited.

They didn't expect Zhang Yang to have spirit-grade tools on him.

Standing behind the dozen Golden Core cultivators, Li Qi and others had complex expressions.

Six pieces?

What about that cauldron!

Could over a dozen Golden Core cultivators break through the defense of six spirit-grade tools and capture Zhang Yang?

They hoped they could, so that no one would discover their betrayal of the sect.

In their excitement, the over a dozen Golden Core cultivators fiercely attacked the defenses of the Mingguang Armor and the Dragon King Basket.

Zhang Yang did not activate the spirit tools but relied solely on their innate power to maintain the defense.

He felt a bit heavy-hearted, realizing that dealing with the Azurecloud Sect was more challenging than he had imagined!

Moreover, these sects were quite outrageous.

This was the Azurecloud Sect's secret realm, and they dared to openly besiege someone from the Azurecloud Sect?

Zhang Yang sneered coldly. If that's the case, then don't blame me.

He took out a piece of beast hide, covered in many crimson patterns.

This was the beast hide he bought last time in Anqing City, along with a bottle of demon beast spiritual blood, which Hualingzi had painted into a powerful talisman.

Zhang Yang hadn't been willing to sell this talisman and had kept it on him.

Now, it was time to use this beast hide.

He fully activated the beast hide, throwing it out.

Then, he fully activated the Mingguang Armor, covering the Dragon King Basket.

Under the drive of spiritual qi, the crimson patterns on the beast hide were activated, seemingly peeling off the hide and dancing in the air.

These red patterns quickly turned into fiery chains, crisscrossing in the air, covering a space of dozens of meters. They intertwined, spiraled, and flew, continuously annihilating everything within the space.

More than half of the over a dozen Golden Core cultivators were within the attack range.

Amidst the terrified screams, many Golden Core cultivators were torn apart by the fiery chains, some shredded to pieces and burned to ashes; others were ripped into several parts, definitely not surviving.

The few Golden Core cultivators on the edge screamed in terror and fled for their lives.

"Brother Jiang, pick up their spatial rings, I'm going after them!"

Zhang Yang retrieved the Dragon King Basket and went after the fleeing Golden Core cultivators.

If they dared to kill him, he would make sure they wouldn't dare to have such thoughts again.

Freed from the Dragon King Basket, Jiang Zhiqiu looked at the mess on the ground, completely speechless.

He initially thought they were in danger, but unexpectedly, it was the over a dozen Golden Core cultivators who were in danger.

Was his senior brother really just in the Golden Core Realm?

In fact, because their magical treasures were taken by Zhang Yang, Li Qi and others, who could only throw spells from the periphery, were completely stunned.

They initially thought they might be able to take down Zhang Yang this time, but the result was unexpected.

They now began to doubt whether the elders of their sects had lost their minds. If even a Golden Core cultivator had such a foundation, what about the Divine Soul Stage cultivators of the Azurecloud Sect?

Facing such a powerful foundation of the Azurecloud Sect, what could they use to oppose it?

For the first time, they began to question the correctness of their sect elders.
