The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Lu Ya paced back and forth in the secret room, feeling extremely agitated.

"What is Shen Yifei doing at Zuixianlou?"

"He spent twenty million spirit stones there to bid for a sword—the very sword Shen Changtian used back then!"

"What? Shen Changtian's sword, how did it end up there?"

"I don't know, the seller is very mysterious! Sun Huan had a dispute with him because of bidding against him!"

"Master Ye, don't worry about your nephew for now."

"Why isn't anyone doing anything about it?! Ye Wuhen's manhood has been severed, and Sun Huan is about to be adopted by me!"

"Master Ye, you're overthinking it. Your business is my business. What I mean is that Sun Huan's disappearance is definitely related to Shen Yifei!"

"That's what I think too! Alliance Leader Lu, where's Blood Shadow? Why hasn't he killed this brat yet!"

"Sigh," Lu Ya sighed, "I'm also worried about this matter; Blood Shadow has disappeared!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qianqiu's anger flared up again.

"What? Missing? You're worried? I say, Alliance Leader Lu, you are the dignified Sect Leader of the Golden Crow Sect and the Alliance Leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance. Wasn't it you who ordered me to release Blood Shadow? Aren't those demons your dogs that you've raised for so many years? Now you've let them out to bite people, and the dogs have disappeared, and you're telling me you're worried?"

Lu Ya's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after being rebuked by Ye Qianqiu.

"Master Ye, out of consideration for our long-standing friendship, I will not hold it against you. Now, our common enemy is Shen Yifei! This man seems to be no simple character!"

"What's so complicated about it, Alliance Leader Lu? If you hadn't been so hesitant and timid, I would have torn this kid to pieces long ago. Why would I have waited until now for this to happen again!"

"Master Ye, you've lost your composure! The information you provided today has made something clear to me!"

"What is it?"

"Shen Yifei is the son of Shen Changtian and the Demon Princess Youlan!"

"What?! He's Shen Changtian's son!"

Upon hearing these words, Ye Qianqiu instantly understood everything!

Rebuilding the Tianyan Sect, demonic energy, Shen Changtian's sword...

"Shen Yifei...is Shen Changtian's son?"

His voice trembled as he spoke those words. He remembered the great battle of that year, the figure in white, pure as snow, and that sword.

He was all too familiar with that sword.

During the siege of Tianyan Sect, he personally witnessed that sword kill three Transcending Tribulation Elders of Wanjian Manor.

Each sword strike carried a despair-inducing power, a power that was absolutely beyond human resistance.

Lu Ya sat back on the futon. "I only just figured it out myself. Why did Blood Shadow disappear near Cangwu Mountain? Because Shen Yifei carried Princess Youlan's aura. Demons have an innate sense of submission to royal bloodlines. When Blood Shadow saw him, it was like a dog seeing its master. How could it possibly still attack him?"

"So Blood Shadow is now..."

"They've already been taken under Shen Yifei's control, and might be placed in a special location!"

"Alliance Leader Lu, what do we do now? If this kid grows up, neither of us will be in good shape."

"What's the rush?" Lu Ya sneered. "So what if he's Shen Changtian's son? His father was so powerful back then, but he still died, didn't he? What kind of trouble can a little brat who hasn't even grown his first beard possibly cause?"

Lu Ya stood up, opened a hidden compartment in the corner of the secret room, and took out a black jade slip. "Master Ye, have you heard of the ancient battlefield?"

Ye Qianqiu was taken aback. "Ancient battlefield? The site of the war between humans and demons ten thousand years ago?"

"Yes." Lu Ya tossed the jade slip to Ye Qianqiu. "This jade slip records the location of a sealed ancient battlefield. That place seals the demons who died in that battle, as well as countless demon treasures."

Ye Qianqiu took the jade slip. "What Alliance Leader Lu means is..."

"Doesn't Shen Yifei possess demonic energy? Then let's send him to where the demons belong. He has the bloodline of the demon royal family within him. The demons in the ancient battlefield are a deadly threat to us, but they will be of great benefit to him. Once he goes in, he will either be torn to pieces by the demons inside, or he will receive the inheritance and become a true demon. Either way, it will be good for us."

Ye Qianqiu frowned. "But what if he gets the inheritance and becomes even more powerful?"

"So what if he's even more powerful?" Lu Ya chuckled. "If he really does get the inheritance, that's even better. Then we'll announce to the world that the Heavenly Evolution Sect Master has fallen into demonic ways, colluding with the remnants of the demon race, intending to destroy the cultivation world. The Demon Extermination Alliance will finally have a chance to prove its worth. When all the sects in the world rise up to attack him, even if he had ten heads and eight arms, he wouldn't be able to stop them."

Ye Qianqiu's eyes grew brighter and brighter after hearing this.

This move is truly vicious.

"So how do we lure him in?"

"You don't need to worry about that, Master Ye." Lu Ya patted Ye Qianqiu on the shoulder. "I have my own way. Just go back and wait for news, Master Ye. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

Although Ye Qianqiu was unwilling, he knew that Lu Ya's methods were far superior to his own. He nodded, turned around, and left the secret room.

After Ye Qianqiu left, Lu Ya sat back on the futon, formed hand seals, and tried again to communicate with the restrictions within Xue Ying's body.

It still disappeared without a trace.

"Interesting." Lu Ya muttered to himself, "It can even block my restrictions. It seems that Cangwu Mountain has quite a few secrets."

Meanwhile, Shen Yifei flew for two whole days and finally saw the boundless sea.

This was the first time he had ever seen the sea. The surface of the sea shimmered in the sunlight, and occasionally a few huge sea monsters would leap out of the water and crash back into the sea, splashing up waves several meters high.

"Master, this is the East Sea. It's so big." Liu Mengli floated out of the cauldron, perched on Shen Yifei's shoulder, and looked into the distance.

Xinghe clamored to come out, so Shen Yifei let her out.

Shen Yifei spent some time playing at the beach with Xinghe and Liu Mengli.

Xinghe was incredibly excited when she saw the sea for the first time. She took off her shoes and ran around on the beach, collecting a huge pile of colorful seashells, saying she would take them back to Dingli to decorate her room.

Liu Mengli sat on a rock, looking at the horizon where the sea met the sky, and was quiet for a while, which was rare for her.

"Master, once I regain my physical body, I also want to have a child," Liu Mengli suddenly said.

"You want to have a child? With whom?"

Liu Mengli rolled her eyes at him, "Have a baby with that bastard, a bunch of little bastards!"

Upon hearing that Liu Mengli was going to have a little bastard, Xinghe quickly ran over. "Sister Mengli, you want to have a little bastard? That's difficult, but I can prepare medicine for you. You won't need anything else to have him..."

Shen Yifei quickly covered Xinghe's mouth, "Kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

Liu Mengli grabbed Xinghe, "She doesn't understand? She can even arrange for you to have a boy or a girl perfectly. Little Xinghe, do you think it will take for your sister to eat more spiritual fruits to recover her physical body?"

"Sister, just eat for another year, one more year will be enough! Sister, you must be obedient and try to do as little sex as possible, so you can recover faster, and then you can have a baby with your brother."

Looking at these two lively characters, Shen Yifei finally understood why Liu Mengli, who ate spiritual fruits every day, rarely complained about needing her own yang energy to replenish her body.

It turns out these two guys were secretly plotting something big!
