A piece of golden stone emitting the power of Jin Geng, naturally formed.

It fell into the hands of Chen Ruoxi, who curiously examined the golden stone.

Feeling the majestic power of the gold attribute within it.

"This should be the gold core." Chen Ruoxi put it into his bag.

On the other side, Chen Xingxing tightly restrained the golden beast, creating an opportunity for Chen Chuling.

A sword cut through the skin of the golden beast, extracting the gold core and severing its vitality.

On Chen Wuji's side, he also dealt with the last golden beast.

Watching the dying golden beast gradually transform into a piece of rock, it was astonishing.

"Let's continue!" Chen Ruoxi waved his hand. After dealing with the current situation, they continued to search for the so-called Nine Gates.

The next day.

A bonfire set up on the mountainside attracted the descendants of another major force.

"Yuan Family, Yuan Xiu, are you all fellow Daoists from the Chen Family?"

The Yuan Family group had been struggling and stumbled upon the traces of a bonfire in the nearby mountains, so they came to investigate.

Seeing the arrival of the Yuan Family group, Chen Ruoxi and the others were already prepared for battle.

After all, despite the peaceful coexistence of the nine major forces, who could say for sure in the secret realm?

Moreover, the other party was a member of the Nascent Soul family.

And it was the Yuan Family, a Nascent Soul family that ranked highly in the entire Great Chu.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yuan Xiu, may I ask why you have come?" Chen Ruoxi clasped his hands together, his gaze fixed on the six people.

Among the Yuan Family group, only Yuan Xiu was at the peak of the Foundation Building stage, while the others were in the later stages.

If something were to happen...

Yuan Xiu smiled, "We have been wandering in the secret realm for seven days and haven't encountered any cultivators other than ourselves. Today, we came to say hello when we saw the bonfire."

Yuan Xiu seemed easygoing, but the five people behind him showed no interest in the matter and didn't seem inclined to talk to the Chen Family group.

"Now that we have exchanged greetings, we shall take our leave." After sizing up the Chen Family group for a while, Yuan Xiu furrowed his brows, showing a somewhat surprised expression.

"In that case, I won't see you off." Chen Ruoxi nodded. In this environment, if the overall strength of the other party was slightly stronger than theirs, staying in place would only lead to unfavorable speculations.

After Yuan Xiu and his group left, Chen Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief and had the formation plate put away.

"Let's go, leave this place. It's not safe to stay here in the open."

Seeing Yuan Xiu and his group walk far away, Chen Ruoxi decided to lead the others away from this place.

The base had been exposed, and it was not safe to stay in place.

So, Chen Ruoxi removed a few formation flags and led everyone into the darkness.

In the night of the Golden Dust Secret Realm, there was no moon, pitch black.

They could only rely on their spiritual senses to ensure that there were no dangers ahead that could be detected.

"Brother Xiu, why didn't you make a move just now?" After Yuan Xiu and his group walked far away, someone beside him broke the silence.

"Do you know what the strongest aspect of the Chen Family is?"

Yuan Xiu didn't answer him directly, but instead asked a question.

"What?" The person was puzzled.

"Formations." Yuan Xiu calmly spoke, "When Elder Yuan Jin went to the Chen Family, he found that the entire Chen County was enveloped in formations. If one were to get trapped inside, it wouldn't end well."

"I originally thought that these Chen Family juniors didn't have any experts in formations, but just now, when I walked near the Chen Family group, I felt the ground had a pattern with mana flowing through it."

"Moreover, this group of lunatics from the Chen family, they haven't been taken down yet even after going all out for a few pieces of gold cores. Once Chen Feng finds out after they leave, although he won't do anything on the surface, he will definitely make a move behind the scenes. Although I'm not afraid, we have many people from our clan, so it's not worth it."

The person nodded, "Since that's the case, let them have some luck."

Indeed, in the rules of the secret realm, there are numerous incidents of snatching gold cores and robbing resources.

Every time the eight major families send out people, the numbers are relatively balanced, and they stick together, reducing the probability of being robbed.

Although the Yuan family has left, not long after, Chen Ruoxi's face turned dark.

"Be on guard!"

She said in a low voice, quickly took out several formation flags, and stepped into the ground.

Then she took out several high-grade spirit stones and pressed them onto the center of the formation.

With her mana flowing, runes appeared in the air, outlining the ground.

"Someone is coming." Chen Wuji also noticed that, in the dark night, not far from them, only two li away.

Someone was approaching them quickly, and there was no need to guess which force they belonged to.

Encountering people from two forces in one night, in the Golden Dust Secret Realm with only 53 people.

Clearly, their luck was a bit too good.

Chen Ruoxi's talent in formations was extraordinary. She had already reached the second stage, and her talent had been praised by Chen Feng.

After finishing the runes, the central spirit stone slowly absorbed the spiritual energy.

"Just stay here." Chen Ruoxi also set up several second-stage concealment formations, completely hiding the five of them.

Even their aura was isolated.

Before long, six figures appeared, only twenty meters away from the concealment formation.

"Huh, Second Young Master, we detected the aura of those people earlier, why did it suddenly disappear?"

A peak Foundation Building cultivator asked in confusion, scanning the surroundings with his divine sense.

"Their aura is still here, but why did they leave so quickly?"

"There were five of them, they should be from the Chen family. I didn't expect them to escape. I thought we could gain more."

A member of the Jun family sighed, seemingly unwilling to give up, searching for traces around.

"It doesn't make sense. The traces on the ground are still here. Even if they ran fast, they couldn't have left without a trace, right?"

"Moreover, they disappeared in such a short time, there was no time to clean up the traces. Something is strange."

Jun Lei took out a pointer-like Law Weapon and wandered around.

His expression was strange, as if he couldn't figure it out.

"Search for their traces around here, see which direction they went. The Chen family only had five people, and if we rob them, our gains will be much greater."

Jun Baishan was somewhat unwilling to give up and ordered five other clan members.

"Understood. The Chen family has looted the Lieyan Sect. These people are all direct disciples, so they must have a lot of valuable things on them."

"Even if Chen Feng is here, he can't do anything when they are robbed here."

The group followed orders and began searching around.

Inside the concealment formation, Chen Ruoxi and the others had strange expressions.

Listening to their discussion, it seemed like they were being treated as fat lambs?

Enough is enough, I can't bear it anymore!

Chen Ruoxi transmitted her voice, "Listen to my command, since they want to rob us, let's fight back!"

"Chuling and Xingxing, you two go deal with the cultivator with the needle. Chuyuan and Wuzai Elder, you go deal with the peak Foundation Building cultivator on the left."

"Remember, bring the compass and be quiet, don't make any loud noises."

"Understood!" The four nodded, while Chen Ruoxi focused on the 'Second Young Master'.

That 'Second Young Master'.

Seeing Chen Ruoxi dragging out her iconic pink hammer, Chen Wanzai swallowed his saliva.
