The token that Lu Ya took out was jet black and looked rather sinister at first glance.

"Alliance Leader Lu, what is this?"

"A token to summon the demon race." Lu Ya tossed the token to Ye Qianqiu. "Take this token and go to the sealed area behind the Golden Crow Sect, but don't go to the very bottom. There, a demon race member in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm is sealed. I suppressed him there many years ago."

Ye Qianqiu was taken aback. "A demon in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm?"

He had met this demon a few times before, along with Lu Ya, and knew how powerful he was. He originally thought it was just a seal and suppression by Lu Ya and the Golden Crow Sect, but who knew that this guy would actually use the demons to do shady things!

"Yes!" A cold glint flashed in Lu Ya's eyes. "Release him and let him eliminate Shen Yifei. It's the perfect match for demons to deal with demons."

Ye Qianqiu gripped the token, his fingers trembling. "But... but what if the demons go out of control?"

"Don't worry, I've placed a restriction on him, he wouldn't dare disobey." Lu Ya patted Ye Qianqiu's shoulder. "Go and do it. As long as Shen Yifei is dead, your son's revenge will be complete."

Ye Qianqiu gritted his teeth, gripped the token tightly, and turned to leave the secret room.

After Ye Qianqiu left, Lu Ya sat back down on the futon, formed hand seals, and muttered incantations.

In the water mirror, the scene shifts to a dark cave.

Deep within the cave, a pair of scarlet eyes were staring in the direction of the water mirror.

"Lu Ya, what business do you have with me?" A hoarse voice came from the water mirror.

"Senior, I need your help with something."

"What is it?"

"Go and kill someone." Lu Ya said, enunciating each word clearly, "Shen Yifei, the sect master of the Tianyan Sect."

The crimson eyes in the water mirror blinked. "Shen Yifei?"

"right."

"What level?"

"Transformation into a Divine Being!"

"Hahaha, Lu Ya, you want me to go out and kill a Nascent Soul cultivator for you? What do you take me for?"

"Heh, senior, I only ever thought of you as a dog!"

"You! You..."

"Senior, I've kept you alive until today so you can do something for me. If you do it well, you can live a few more years; if you don't, the restrictions within your body..."

Silence fell in the darkness.

A moment later, the voice rang out again, "Alright, I agree to help you kill that brat. However, you have to agree to one condition."

"Please speak, senior."

"Once the matter is accomplished, you will lift the restrictions placed upon me."

Lu Ya chuckled and said, "Deal."

The scarlet eyes in the water mirror blinked twice and disappeared.

Lu Ya put away the water mirror and chuckled coldly.

"Shen Yifei, you think that with the protective array of Cangwu Mountain, I can't do anything to you?" Lu Ya muttered to himself. "As long as you leave Cangwu Mountain, heh heh..."

The Golden Crow Sect, the sealed area in the back mountain.

Ye Qianqiu stood before the sealed well, holding the token in his hand. He took a deep breath and pressed the token onto the runes at the well's opening.

The runes on the token lit up briefly, and then the entire sealed well began to shake violently.

The eight iron chains clanged, the runes grew brighter and brighter, and finally, with a bang, they all exploded.

A wisp of black smoke shot into the sky from the well opening, circled once in the air, and landed, transforming into a tall man dressed in black.

The man looked to be in his early thirties, with handsome features, but his eyes were bloodshot.

He was dressed in a long black robe, his long hair was loose, and he exuded a cold aura.

"Ye Qianqiu?" the man in black asked, his voice hoarse.

"Exactly! Blood Shadow, heh, so this is what you look like."

The man in black stretched his limbs. "Enough with the nonsense, where's that kid named Shen Yifei?"

"Mount Cangwu, Tianyan Sect."

"Yes, I'll go kill him and tell Lu Ya that he needs to keep his word!"

Blood Shadow said nothing more, his figure flickered, and he transformed into a black shadow, disappearing into the horizon.

Ye Qianqiu stood beside the sealed well, looking in the direction where the blood shadow disappeared, his expression shifting between light and dark.

Meanwhile, in Hundred Flowers Valley.

Hundred Flowers Valley is located in a mountain range in the southwest of the Central Region. It covers a vast area and is covered with colorful flowers. From a distance, it looks like a huge colorful carpet.

The valley was shrouded in mist and filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Shen Yifei stood in front of the gate of Hundred Flowers Valley and took a deep breath. The sweet floral fragrance made him feel a little dizzy.

"Something's not right here," Liu Mengli said from inside the cauldron. "Master, inhaling this floral fragrance too much can cloud one's senses."

Shen Yifei quickly held his breath and circulated the vortex in his dantian to expel the sweet and cloying smell he had inhaled.

"This Hua Qianmei is definitely not a kind person," Shen Yifei muttered, and stepped into the flower valley.

Two young women in pink gauze dresses stopped him at the mountain gate. "Who goes there?"

"Shen Yifei, the sect master of Tianyan Sect, requests an audience with Valley Master Hua."

The two women exchanged a glance, and one of them nodded. "Sect Leader Shen, please wait a moment. I will go and report."

After saying that, the woman turned and walked deeper into the flower valley.

Shen Yifei stood at the mountain gate for a while, and then the woman returned and made a "please" gesture. "The Valley Master is waiting in the main hall. Sect Master Shen, please follow me."

Shen Yifei followed the woman along a stone path covered with flower petals into the valley.

The female disciples of Hundred Flowers Valley encountered along the way were all dressed in light gauze dresses, with graceful figures and swaying waists as they walked. At first glance, all one could see were snow-white skin and slender figures.

Shen Yifei was dazzled by the sights and couldn't help but glance at each woman a few more times.

"Master, your eyeballs are about to pop out." Liu Mengli sneered from inside the cauldron.

"Hehe, the love of beauty, the love of beauty..."

"If you keep staring like that, these women might eat you up."

Hua Qianmei's main hall was built with purple vines and white stones. The hall doors were wide open, and a mixture of floral fragrance and perfume wafted out.

The interior furnishings were also very exquisite, with a thick carpet of flower petals on the floor that felt soft and fluffy underfoot.

Hua Qianmei was sitting on a soft couch in the center of the main hall, leaning against the cushions, holding a cup of flower wine in her hand. When she saw Shen Yifei enter, she put down the wine cup and smiled charmingly.

"Oh, Sect Leader Shen, your cultivation has improved again after just a few days?"

Shen Yifei cupped his hands in greeting. "Valley Master Hua, I've come today to ask you something."

"What is it?" Hua Qianmei lightly licked her lips, her movements elegant yet provocative.

"I want to know about my background."

Hua Qianmei paused, her wine glass stopping at her lips. She looked up at Shen Yifei, a complex expression flashing in her peach blossom eyes.

"What is your background?"

"Yes, my mother." Shen Yifei stared into her eyes. "What you said at the Golden Crow Sect last time was very strange. You must know something, right?"

Hua Qianmei was silent for a while, then put down her wine glass and clapped her hands.

The disciples who were serving inside the hall all withdrew, and the last one closed the hall door behind him.

Only Hua Qianmei and Shen Yifei remained in the hall.

Hua Qianmei sat up from the soft couch, straightened her skirt, and her expression became much more serious.

"Kid, you're only just realizing what I mean now? Well, not too bad, you're not completely stupid!"

"Valley Master, I want to know news of my mother!"

Hua Qianmei sighed softly, "Boy, I recognized you at the last demon-slaying gathering. I recognized you as Youlan's child, Shen Changtian's son!"

"Youlan? She...she's my mother's name?"

"Yes, your mother's name is Youlan. She is the eldest princess of the Demon Clan's royal family and the future successor to the Demon King."

Shen Yifei had expected it, but hearing his mother's name and that she was of demon royal blood still gave him a great shock.

"A hundred years ago, the seal between the demon race and the human race began to loosen," Hua Qianmei continued. "Your mother was playful and daring. After the seal loosened, she secretly sneaked into the human race's territory and traveled around enjoying the scenery. Later, she met your father, Shen Changtian, on Cangwu Mountain, and the two fell in love at first sight."

Hua Qianmei sighed as she finished speaking, "For a member of the Demon Clan royal family to fall in love with a human is a grave taboo for the Demon Clan, punishable by death. Your mother knew this, but she still stayed with your father without hesitation."

Shen Yifei clenched his fist. "And then?"

"And then you came into being." Hua Qianmei looked at him. "You were born in Hundred Flowers Valley."
