Qingfeng truly had no idea what had happened.

She had assumed that Chen Yi, A Lang, and Jian Chi would be waiting for them outside the palace.

But when she finally arrived, she didn't see a single person.

Not only were Chen Yi and his two companions absent, but all the other powerful figures who had come to the secret realm were also nowhere to be found.

"what's the situation?"

"Yi-ge'er went deep into the secret realm before Xiao-liu and me?"

"Or did they find some fun place and go explore it?"

Qingfeng muttered a few words of displeasure, then sat cross-legged directly below the palace gate, his hands resting on his knees, his eyes fixed on the gate.

She doesn't plan to move.

To be precise, we will remain inactive for the time being.

If Chen Yi and the other two had already ventured deep into the secret realm, she would wait for the others to go in first before following them in.

Or they could wait for Xiaoliu to arrive, and then discuss it before making a decision.

If Chen Yi and his two companions went to other fun places...

"Then don't blame me for charging a hefty fee for missing out on fun!"

at the same time.

Thousands of miles away from the palace gates, somewhere in the square, Xiao Liu slowly revealed herself.

She was still dressed in red, but she had added a red cloak over it, with a hood attached to her head.

Bathed in the hazy glow of a jade pendant with the Bagua symbol on her chest, she appeared dreamlike and ethereal, almost unreal, like a phantom.

Little Willow glanced around.

The surrounding area is a landscape of scattered pebbles, with clusters of beautiful flowers and a crystal-clear pond nearby.

Like a garden, the scenery is undeniably pleasant.

"Come out, don't waste time at a time like this."

As Xiao Liu spoke, she waved her hand, causing the radiance of the Bagua jade pendant on her chest to envelop the surrounding area for ten miles, "'Linxian'!"

The words fell.

Then, Yin Wuji, the "Immortal Lin" who had been blocked at Kanbian Gate, emerged from behind a pile of rubble that was two people tall.

He observed Xiao Liu'er from afar, then bowed slightly and said with a smile:

"You arrived sooner than I expected, Miss Liu'er."

Xiao Liu'er said noncommittally, "The Azure Dragon Sword Immortal's footwork is profound and unpredictable. Even in this Tianpeng Secret Realm, he can travel a thousand miles in one step. It is no less than the secret techniques passed down in your Samsara Realm."

Yin Wuji was slightly moved, his slightly arrogant eyes staring straight at her as he asked:

"A thousand miles in one step?"

"of course."

"If I didn't trust Miss Liu'er, I certainly wouldn't have believed such an absurd statement."

"Even with the Yin family's inherited movement technique, the Wheel-Turning Step Divine Power can only travel five hundred miles here. This is only after I have cultivated this movement technique to the sixth level of the Divine Power realm."

After a moment of recollection, a thoughtful expression appeared on Xiao Liu'er's cool face, and she said:
"Yi-ge'er's 'Close-up to the Ends of the Earth' technique should only be at the sixth level, so..."

Yin Wuji understood her meaning and restrained his previous arrogance, his expression even showing a hint of wisdom.

"So, the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal's movement techniques and supernatural abilities are more than twice as powerful as the Wheel-Turning Step at the same level?"

Xiao Liu shook her head slightly and said with a touch of emotion, "Perhaps it's more than that."

"Based on my observation of him, the growth rate of his divine power in each realm of supernatural abilities far exceeds that of other cultivators."

"Perhaps when you are both at the seventh level of the Divine Power Realm, the difference will not be two times, but three times, or even four times."

Yin Wuji paused for a moment, then said, "Impossible!"

"What I have learned are all the secrets of the Samsara Realm, mostly obtained from the ancient underworld. Even if Chen Yi cultivates the inherited methods of the ancient Dao Court, there should not be such a big difference."

In his understanding, the ancient Taoist court and the ancient underworld were both among the top Taoist lineages in ancient times.

Even if there is a difference in strength between the two, and there are differences in the realms of powerful beings, there should not be such a large difference in supernatural abilities and techniques of the same level.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm just stating my observations."

Xiao Liu glanced at him and then said, "Alright, I didn't come here to waste my breath on you."

"Instead, the leader instructed that there is a legacy that you need to obtain in the Tianpeng Secret Realm this time."

Yin Wuji curled his lip, "I thought the leader would come here, but I didn't expect it to be you who came."

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"No, no, everyone knows that you, Miss Liu'er, have obtained the Blood River inheritance method. No matter how confident I am, I would not dare to be presumptuous in front of you."

Xiao Liu'er's face darkened slightly, and she snorted, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and remember this carefully."

"If you jeopardize the leader's important affairs, you know the consequences."

Yin Wuji nodded, leaned back against the gravel, and looked like he was listening attentively.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu ignored him and said to herself, "The leader discovered that the Tianpeng Secret Realm was part of the ancient Dao Court. In the past, for some unknown reason, it was separated from the Dao Court."

"But because of this, some of its traditions were preserved and did not perish or collapse along with the ancient Daoist court."

"The only treasure the leader desires is the Water Control Ruler that Marshal Tianpeng used to ride the waves of Mount Taizhou in the past."

Yin Wuji raised an eyebrow slightly. "Water Control Ruler?"

Xiao Liu nodded slightly and said, "Although the Water Control Ruler is called a ruler, it is also the mount of Marshal Tianpeng, and it is transformed from a black tortoise."

"So it's alive?"

"I don't know the specifics either; you'll need to explore the secret realm carefully."

Yin Wuji nodded knowingly, then suddenly asked, "And what about you?"

Xiao Liu paused, turned her head to look at him, and a glint of crystalline red light flashed in her eyes under the hood, with a hint of murderous intent emerging.

“You have too many questions, ‘Linxian’.”

Yin Wuji crossed his arms, clearly showing no fear of her, and said with a smile:

"I'm just curious."

"Miss Liu'er has been planning and arranging for so long, following Xun Wangtian and the others deep into the Tianpeng Secret Realm. Her ambitions must be enormous. It's unlikely that she would back down just because of a mere Azure Dragon Sword Immortal..."

"If Miss Liu'er has any needs, she can simply ask me, and I will certainly not refuse."

Xiao Liu'er's expression grew cold as she turned and walked outside. "Just remember your task. Don't ask about anything else that's not your business."

Yin Wuji watched her retreating figure, a hint of arrogance resurfacing on his face, and raised his voice to ask:
"What about Yunze?"

"Did you have a deeper meaning in asking me to act out that scene with him outside the Kanbian Gate earlier?"

Xiao Liu paused, turning her head slightly to glance at his figure out of the corner of her eye. "You really want to know?"

"If Miss Liu doesn't mind."

"I just want to see how your 'Dao' with Yunze will perform."

"Now it seems, it's nothing special."

After saying that, Xiao Liu lightly touched the ground with her toes, and her whole body transformed into a red shadow, fleeing into the distance towards the palace complex.

Yin Wuji watched her leave, a smile appearing on his face, before he too disappeared.

It didn't take long.

Xiao Liu'er changed back into her original clothes and came to the palace gate.

She immediately spotted Qingfeng sitting alone outside the gate, and a hint of doubt crept into her heart. After scanning the area and using her mental perception to scan the surroundings, confirming that she didn't find Chen Yi, Jian Chi, and A Lang, Xiao Liu'er landed beside Qingfeng and asked:

"Sister Qingfeng, why are you the only one here?"

"Where are Yi-ge'er, A-lang, and Jian-chi?"

Qingfeng looked up at her, pouted, and said, "I don't know."

“When I came here before, I didn’t see the three of them. I don’t know where they went to play or why they didn’t wait for us.”

Xiao Liu frowned to herself, "When did Sister Qingfeng arrive here?"

"Two hours earlier than you."

"two……"

Xiao Liu pondered for a moment and roughly deduced that he disappeared within two hours after they parted.

Then, she looked at the palace gate, and after noticing the nine faint marks on the ground outside the gate, her gaze fell on the gate itself.

Observe carefully for a moment.

Xiao Liu'er had a vague guess in her heart that Chen Yi, Jian Chi, and A Lang must have encountered an accident and entered the depths of the secret realm ahead of schedule.

This did affect her previous plans somewhat.

Qingfeng, unaware of her thoughts, stood up and asked when she remained silent, "Do you think they went a bit too far?"

"They clearly said they'd wait for us here, but now they're nowhere to be seen, and we don't know when they'll arrive. If we weren't in this secret realm, I'd be asking them where they are."

Xiao Liu'er came to her senses and, after thinking for a moment, suggested, "Why don't we ask them through the Xunwang Token?"

Qingfeng realized what was happening and was immediately overjoyed: "I had forgotten about that. Wait, I'll go ask about it."

As she spoke, she took out the Xunwang Token and probed into it with her mind.

Xiao Liu stood quietly to one side, looking around the palace while recalling the information she had previously obtained.

But before Qingfeng could recover his mind from the Xunwang Order, Xiaoliu'er sensed that many cultivators had appeared behind her.

She frowned slightly. "They came so quickly."

Even so, she knew that although the group of powerful beings who had entered the secret realm earlier were slow, so much time had passed that they should have arrived here by now.

Thinking about all this, Xiao Liu patted Qing Feng's shoulder and summoned her out of the Xunwang Token.

"What's wrong, Liu'er? I'm currently in Xunwangling with Xiaolan, condemning Yige and the others."

“I just thought about it, and Yi-ge’er and the others must have gone into the depths of the secret realm first. Let’s go over there too, and then we can find a way to meet up.”

Qingfeng paused for a moment, looked at her, then at the door, and then nodded: "Alright."

"When I see them, it won't be over until I find a single demon blood core at the third level of the Divine Power Realm... no, at the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm."

Xiao Liu smiled in agreement upon hearing this, and without lingering any longer, she immediately followed the method taught to her by Zhao Muzi and the others, and went to the left side of the palace gate to rotate the millstone protruding from the wall.

With a rumbling sound.

Then the large door with four relief murals slowly opened.

Inside the gate, the space was deep and bright. Looking out, one could see the glittering gold and jade floor, and rows of palaces standing on either side, some solemn and magnificent, some pavilions and kiosks, and others tall and rugged like watchtowers.

No need for a closer look.

Little Willow, holding Qingfeng's hand, walked straight through the gate.

But inexplicably, she felt her hand loosen, and the scene before her suddenly changed.

When she looked closely, Xiao Liu'er realized that Qingfeng was no longer beside her, and she was all alone.

She wasn't surprised. When she arrived here, she knew that when she passed through the depths of the secret realm—the palace gate—the great formation here would scatter them in all directions.

However, when Xiao Liu'er saw her surroundings clearly, her expression became serious. "What...is this?"

She was standing on a tall pillar, surrounded by other pillars of varying heights, much like the plum blossom formation used for practicing plum blossom stakes in certain realms.

But the pillars here are much taller and thicker than those plum blossom stakes, and the area below is dark and deep, with sharp spikes faintly visible.

Xiao Liu frowned, and just as she was about to fly away, she suddenly stopped and looked down at herself.

"Trouble..."

She didn't know what kind of strange formation covered this place, but she couldn't use her true essence or divine will, and could only use her physical strength.

Even mental perception couldn't detect it; the only way was to observe the surroundings with the naked eye.

"Tsk, what bad luck!"

On the other side, Qingfeng's environment was much better than Xiaoliu'er's.

The surrounding area is filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, making for a pleasant scene.

Nearby are lush flowers, grasses and trees, and in the distance are peach orchards, where peaches exude fragrance.

It looks a lot like the peach grove that Zhao Muzi had told her about before.

Qingfeng glanced around and couldn't help but grin: "We're so lucky, we can eat our fill now."

With that, she ran over with a cheer.

Compared to Qingfeng and Xiaoliu'er's solemnity and joy, Alang and Jianchi, who were deep underground in the palace complex, were on the verge of tears.

now.

They were suspended in a dungeon, their limbs bound tightly with heavy iron chains, hanging in mid-air in a "T" shape.

Below it, besides sharp spikes similar to those of Xiao Liu'er, there was also a stretch of weak water.

A faint, venomous miasma swirled beneath them.

The swirling poisonous miasma posed a constant threat of engulfing them.

Seeing this, Ah Lang cursed, "Sword fanatic, if you talk nonsense again, I'll never forgive you!"

Having been locked up here for nearly three hours, he could guess that his and Jian Chi's fate must be related to the things they had said outside the door earlier.

The story goes that Marshal Tianpeng was a pig demon.

It must be that the creatures in this palace complex heard their words, which were suspected of insulting Marshal Tianpeng, that led them to imprison them here.

Upon hearing this, the sword fanatic's face grew even more bitter, and he said miserably, "My lord, if there really is a next time, I will definitely let you beat me to your heart's content."

"What I'm afraid of is... that we won't have a future."

"We've been shouting here for so long, and there's not a single person in sight. Do you think they're planning to just leave us here and ignore us?"

Alang paused, his anger fading slightly, and sighed, "If that's the case, we can still hold out until the end of the secret realm. But I'm afraid..."

"They have other tricks up their sleeves, like throwing us into the weak water pool below..."

"hiss!"

Sword fanatic gasped, "No way?"

He strained to look down at the surging Weak Water and the dark, poisonous miasma below, and his nose couldn't help but feel a little sore.

"If I had known we would end up like this, I would have insisted on going with Yi-ge to explore the surrounding area."

"If I had known? You son of a bitch, I..."

Before Ah Lang could continue cursing, a loud bang came from outside, as if the door had been opened.

Immediately afterwards, a footstep asking a question was heard.

"somebody is coming!"

Realizing this, Alang and Jianchi exchanged a glance, strained their eyes to look at the faintly lit window in the distance, and shouted:
"My lord, we know we were wrong! Please spare us!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a soft laugh came from outside, the tone tinged with schadenfreude:

"Oh? You know you were wrong? Really?"
