"Nalan, you don't need to worry."

Seeing the concern in the two women, Gu Chenfeng chuckled, "Wan'Er may be the Saintess of the Yin Yang Family, but she is very kind and easy to get along with."

"This... alright..." The two women nodded slightly, and the tension in their hearts completely disappeared.

Gu Chenfeng looked at Yinyang Wan'Er and said with a faint smile, "Wan'Er is injured. Let's rest here first, and make plans after Wan'Er recovers from her injuries."

"Thank you, Brother Feng." Yinyang Wan'Er smiled softly.

But at this moment.

Gu Chenfeng seemed to sense something and suddenly frowned slightly.

Noticing Gu Chenfeng's expression, Yinyang Wan'Er asked curiously, "Brother Feng, what's wrong?"

Yang Ke'Er and Nalan Ziye also noticed the change in Gu Chenfeng's expression.

Yang Ke'Er frowned and thought to herself, "Gu Chenfeng has a strong sense, could there be a terrifying presence lurking in the shadows?"

Gu Chenfeng slightly shook his head and said with a faint smile, "It's nothing. Let's head down and recover our injuries quickly."

"Hmm." Yinyang Wan'Er nodded with a smile, not asking further.

Nalan Ziye chuckled softly and said, "Brother Feng, you said you knew someone from the Yin Yang Family before, but I didn't expect it to be Saintess Wan'Er."

Yinyang Wan'Er chuckled softly, "Sister Nalan, besides knowing me, Brother Feng also knows my father."

"What? He even knows the Clan Leader of the Yin Yang Family?" Yang Ke'Er and Nalan Ziye were shocked, their eyes bulging out.

"How is that possible? You're joking, right?" Jiang Yun and Qin Hao were even more shocked, petrified on the spot, their bodies completely still with faces full of fear.

Who exactly is Gu Chenfeng?

He's just a disciple of the Ancient Divine Sect, how could he have the qualifications to know the Clan Leader of the Yin Yang Family?

No one would believe it.

"Master, you sensed it too, right?" Ice Phoenix communicated telepathically, "The people from the Soul-Devouring Sect are hiding nearby, sixteen Divinity Transformation Stage experts."

Glancing at the Ice Phoenix, Gu Chenfeng telepathically responded, "Isn't it strange that the Soul-Devouring Sect didn't send a Tribulation Stage expert? Sixteen Divinity Transformation Stage experts alone can't possibly compete for treasures in the Secret Realm."

Ice Phoenix telepathically asked, "You mean, other powerful entities might have also pledged allegiance to the Soul-Devouring Sect?"

"Wan'Er needs to heal, let's not alert them and first see what they're planning," Gu Chenfeng replied telepathically, his expression quite grave, seemingly deep in thought.

"Yes, master!" Ice Phoenix responded respectfully via telepathy.

...

In a hidden forest.

Sixteen Divinity Transformation Stage experts from the Soul-Devouring Sect were lurking here.

Even though they could conceal their aura, they couldn't escape Gu Chenfeng and Ice Phoenix's Ice Attribute perception.

Upon a large tree, the leading man said gravely, "This woman has an incredibly terrifying Ice Attribute, even stronger than the Saintess of the Yin Yang Family. She must be the Ice and Snow Phoenix."

"Absolutely no mistake!" One person nodded seriously, "The Third Elder showed us a portrait, and it matches that young fellow exactly, although we've never seen him before."

"It should be him," another person said seriously, "This young fellow is deeply concealed, and if he hadn't acted just now, it would have been impossible to discern his cultivation depth."

"Not only that, his Ice Attribute Spiritual Power is even more terrifying than the Ice and Snow Phoenix's Ice Attribute, definitely not an ordinary person."

Another person said seriously, "It doesn't matter who that kid is, what's important is that the Ice and Snow Phoenix has entered the Secret Realm. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Grand Elder is waiting for our good news."

The leading man asked gravely, "The Secret Realm entrance is already closed, we can only use the Residual Soul to report to the Grand Elder. This news is very important, and the Elder is sure to grant us a great reward. Who is willing to return?"

As he spoke, the leading man stretched out his hand and grasped into the air, a King's Sword appearing in his hand.

"I will." One person stepped forward.

"Squelch!"

The leading man ruthlessly pierced through the person's chest with a sword, blood gushing out, the body then turned into blood mist and dissipated into the air.

"That kid has an Ice and Snow Phoenix by his side, no need to bother with him. Immediately focus on the major forces' experts!" the leading man ordered, then swiftly disappeared.

The remaining fourteen Divinity Transformation Stage experts also flashed away one by one.

...

Soul-Devouring Sect.

Within the grand hall.

The Elders and high-ranking members of the Soul-Devouring Sect continuously flashed into appearance.

Grand Elder Mo Yun was the first to ask, "Third Elder, what good news has you summoning us in such haste?"

Second Elder Mo Xuanjin frowned, speculating, "Could it be good news about the Secret Realm?"

"Indeed." Mo Yan laughed happily, "Mo Yuan's Soul Jade shattered, there must be good news."

As he spoke, Mo Yan took out the shattered Soul Jade, then injected spiritual power into it.

The shattered Soul Jade glowed with a blood light, and then streams of blood mist emanated from it, finally condensing into an illusory figure.

The illusory figure was precisely the Soul-Devouring Sect's expert Mo Yuan, who had been pierced through the chest with a sword.

This was Mo Yuan's Residual Soul.

"Greetings, Elders!" Mo Yuan kneeled respectfully on one knee.

Grand Elder Mo Yun quickly asked, "Mo Yuan, you've exhausted your Residual Soul, did you bring back good news?"

Mo Yuan respectfully replied, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Ice and Snow Phoenix has entered the Secret Realm, and the young fellow the Third Elder mentioned is also inside the Secret Realm."

"Oh? The Ice and Snow Phoenix entered the Secret Realm?" Mo Yun's old face revealed a surprised smile.

"Indeed, this is good news," Mo Yan laughed, "The old Sect Master truly is foresightful. No wonder he chose to act when the Secret Realm opened, he had guessed it would happen. In this case, it's time for us to take action."

"Without the Ice and Snow Phoenix, the Medicine God Hall is nothing, the old Yao Xuan is no threat at all."

The entrance to the Secret Realm is closed, the Ice Phoenix can only come out after seven days.

Without this terrifying Ice Phoenix, the Soul-Devouring Sect doesn't regard the Medicine God Hall at all.

Mo Xuanjin squinted his old eyes, a wicked smile on his face, "The ten Great Venerables of the Medicine God Hall have been watching for so long, it's time to send them away. The souls and flesh of ten Tribulation Stage experts might even help cultivate another Mahayana Stage expert for the Soul-Devouring Sect."

The likes of Yao Hun and the ten Great Venerables had been secretly monitoring, but it was clear the Soul-Devouring Sect had long been aware, merely not alarming them.

A Tribulation Stage expert laughed, "Seven days is enough time to annihilate the Medicine God Hall and swallow up all its subordinate forces. Grand Elder, we should act immediately to avoid unforeseen complications."

Mo Yun looked at Mo Yuan and said with a faint smile, "Truly good news, Mo Yuan, you've done well. This Elder will reward you with ten thousand souls to help you break through to the Tribulation Stage. At that time, you may choose any Tribulation Stage expert's body you want."

"Thank you, Grand Elder!" Mo Yuan was overjoyed and quickly thanked respectfully.

Mo Yun then ordered, "Pass down the command, Soul-Devouring Sect experts Golden Core Stage and above immediately cease cultivation, stop all tasks, and gather at Heaven Soul Mountain within one incense stick's time. All disciples outside are to be recalled at once."

"As you command!" A Tribulation Stage expert replied respectfully.

Mo Yun continued to order, "Third Elder, take people to divert the Medicine God Hall's Venerables."
