A tremendous bell tolled throughout the entire secret realm.
The Suspended Mountain was originally in chaos because the soul lamps of all the Supreme Elders had been extinguished.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the bell ring.
They discovered that the sound of the bell came from the direction of the entrance to the secret realm.
This means that the giant alarm bell at the entrance to the secret realm has been rung.
Only in one situation will that alarm bell be rung.
Foreign invasion!
Only when an overwhelmingly powerful enemy attempts to invade the secret realm will that alarm bell be rung.
This indicates that the entire Suspended Mountain Secret Realm will enter the highest level of alert.
However, it should be noted that for many years, that alarm bell has not been rung.
Even most of the monks in the secret realm had only heard the legend of the alarm bell, but had never heard it ring.
After all, with the foundation and strength of Suspended Mountain, who in the world could pose a threat to it, let alone intrude into its secret realm?
Legend has it that the alarm bells last rang more than two thousand years ago when the four secret realms clashed.
Even the demon wearing the ghost mask last time, who slaughtered so many disciples in the temple, forcing them to retreat to the secret realm and unable to leave, was still a force to be reckoned with.
Despite such a humiliating disgrace, the temple still failed to sound the alarm.
So what urgent situation has forced the temple to sound this alarm?
For a moment, almost all the monks on and around the suspended mountain were both shocked and bewildered.
I don't understand what happened.
However, some people quickly came to their senses and rushed towards the platform where the entrance to the secret realm was located.
"Hey OP, what happened on the suspended mountain?"
In a corner of the earth beneath the suspended mountain, in the village of Wujianlou, the old elder asked in horror.
He didn't know the meaning of the bell's sound, but for some reason, he felt a strong sense of unease.
"I don't know."
A dark light appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Wujian as he stared intently at the sky.
However, his magic was not yet powerful enough to completely break through the array of clouds and mist obscuring the Suspended Mountain and see the situation above.
But at the same time, his heart was also pounding with fear.
The suspended mountain exuded a chaotic aura, making him uneasy.
Unfortunately, although his cultivation has recently made a breakthrough, he still lacks the ability to fly and is unable to go up and investigate.
"Demon, release the Supreme Elder! Otherwise, when the many powerful figures of Suspended Mountain arrive, you will be torn to pieces!"
Seeing that the alarm bell had been successfully rung, the middle-aged monk felt relieved and immediately shouted at Lu Qing.
However, Lu Qing only glanced at him, and the middle-aged monk felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow.
He coughed up blood and flew backward, crashing into the large bell with a loud bang. Then, everything went black, and he fell to the ground, already dead.
"Senior Brother Mingyi!"
Upon seeing this, the remaining middle-aged monk exclaimed in surprise.
However, his senior brother was destined to be unable to answer him.
Having been directly impacted by Lu Qing's Golden Core power, the mere Innate Realm cultivator had no chance of survival.
The surviving middle-aged monk realized that his senior brother had already perished when he sensed his brother's life force fading away.
He stared at Lu Qing in terror, staggering backward until he fell to the ground: "Demon, demon..."
Lu Qing did not continue to kill, because he sensed that a large number of auras were rapidly approaching this direction.
Soon, a figure landed on the platform.
"Junior Brother Minghui, what evil spirit? Why was the alarm bell rung? Senior Brother Mingyi! What happened to him?"
The figure asked immediately.
But soon, he saw the middle-aged monk lying lifeless beside the giant bell and exclaimed in surprise.
Immediately afterwards, several more figures appeared around him.
"Junior Brother Minghui, what happened?"
"Senior Brother Mingyi (Junior Brother)!"
When all the monks arrived, the first thing they noticed was Mingyi lying on the ground.
However, Minghui acted as if she hadn't heard them at all, and didn't answer at all, still just staring at Lu Qing in front of her in fear.
The others followed his gaze and saw Lu Qing not far away.
When I saw the mask on Lu Qing's face and the person he was holding in his hand.
Everyone was shocked again: "Ghost-faced demon, the Golden Bell Supreme Elder!"
Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged, but he sighed as he watched the monks still arriving in droves.
In his perception, most of the monks from the Hanging Mountain who had rushed over were highly skilled in cultivation.
There are at least nearly a hundred people at the Innate Realm alone, and quite a few at the Foundation Establishment Realm as well.
As expected of a power inherited from the ancient era of cultivation, its foundation is truly profound.
However, despite the continuous influx of monks from the suspended mountain.
Even after seeing him, they had already started to put on a show of force.
But Lu Qing still didn't make any move.
He raised his head and looked up at the summit of the suspended mountain.
There, he could sense a rather powerful aura lurking in the shadows.
It must be the abbot that the red-faced old monk and the others mentioned before, who has already passed the Golden Core tribulation.
However, the other party remained hidden, not wanting to reveal themselves so early and wanting to observe their situation more clearly.
Lu Qing smiled and looked at the many monks around him who had formed a battle formation and were looking at him as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
Suddenly he spoke up: "Old bald monk, you're hiding there like a coward, afraid to show your face. Aren't you worried that I'll kill all of your disciples and followers from Suspended Mountain?"
There was still no movement from the mountaintop.
Instead, one of the monks around couldn't help but shout, "Demon, stop your arrogance! Release Elder Jinzhong immediately, or you will be torn to pieces!"
Are you talking about this old bald monk?
Lu Qing lifted the Golden Bell Elder in his hand so that all the monks could see it clearly.
Seeing the Supreme Elder, who once represented mystery and power in the temple, being lifted up by the head like this, all the monks of Xuankong Mountain showed expressions of grief, indignation, and fear.
Needless to say, Elder Jinzhong, as the Supreme Elder, held an extremely high position in the temple.
At this moment, he was being crushed like a dog, his face displayed without any dignity in front of all the disciples. The humiliation he felt was unimaginable.
If his entire body's power hadn't been completely sealed, preventing him from using even a fraction of it, he would have loved to detonate his golden core and perish together with Lu Qing!
"Release the Supreme Elder!" a monk shouted again!
However, no one dared to make the first move.
“Old bald monk, since you are unwilling to show yourself, then I will first wipe out all your disciples and followers, sever the foundation of your Suspended Mountain, and then play with you.”
Seeing that the aura of the summit still showed no sign of appearing, Lu Qing shook his head.
With a slight exertion of force, he crushed Elder Jinzhong's head in his hand.
