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

Before leaving Yong'an City, Yun Zhonghe told Shen Yifei the approximate location of the secret realm, which was in a desolate mountain in the Western Regions.

Shen Yifei flew for three whole days before finally reaching the outer edge of the Demon Abyss Secret Realm.

From a distance, a large number of people had already gathered at the entrance to the secret realm.

Shen Yifei glanced around and saw that there were about three hundred people. There were members from the Golden Crow Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Manor, Heavenly Sword Sect, Vajra Temple, Overlord Blade Sect, and some smaller sects whose names he couldn't recall. Their colorful flags were planted everywhere.

There are at least forty or fifty sects present this time. Compared to the Demon Extermination Conference of the Golden Crow Sect, this time the participants are mostly the elites of their respective sects, with the lowest cultivation level being the early stage of the Mahayana realm.

The most eye-catching thing was the large banner embroidered with a three-legged golden crow at the center of the Golden Crow Sect, which was planted on a huge rock and fluttered in the wind.

Shen Yifei searched around and saw the flags of Xuanbing Palace and Baihua Valley, but he did not find Leng Rushuang and Hua Qianmei. He guessed that the two had just sent people to make a show of it.

Shen Yifei found an inconspicuous spot to land, and had barely sat down when he heard someone shout, "Sect leaders and elders of all sects, Alliance Leader Lu requests everyone to assemble under the Golden Crow Sect banner!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei cursed inwardly, "Damn it, is this guy waiting for me on purpose, not even letting me catch my breath?"

As he approached, he discovered that Lu Ya and Ye Qianqiu had already stood under the banner, each with several elders standing behind them.

When Ye Qianqiu saw Shen Yifei, his expression was as if he wanted to rush over and skin Shen Yifei alive; his eyes were so wide they seemed to be shooting sparks.

Shen Yifei finally saw Ye Qianqiu, whom he had been longing for day and night, and grinned at him, a smile as if he had seen a long-lost relative.

Ye Qianqiu's lips turned red with anger, but he held back from lashing out because all the sect leaders were present.

As the sect leaders and elders of various sects arrived one after another, Lu Ya cleared his throat.

"Gentlemen, I'm sure you all know why I've gathered you here today. The Demon Abyss Secret Realm is about to open. This secret realm is the site of the great war between humans and demons ten thousand years ago. It contains many remnants of the demon race, but also countless treasures and inheritances."

He paused for a moment, then said, "As the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance, it is my duty to lead everyone in exploring this secret realm. However, if no one guards the outer perimeter, the consequences will be unimaginable if the seal collapses completely and the demons inside escape. Therefore, I have decided to leave some people to guard the outer perimeter, while the rest will be divided into several groups and enter the secret realm one by one."

Then Lu Ya began to assign tasks. To Shen Yifei's surprise, Lu Ya led the Golden Crow Sect and took the initiative to guard the outer perimeter, without entering the secret realm.

This made Shen Yifei feel uncomfortable. Given Lu Ya's personality and character, it was not his style to not compete for such a great opportunity in the secret realm.

The Ba Dao Sect and the Jingang Temple, these major sects, each have a sect leader leading them. They are then joined by some smaller sects to form a group.

Shen Yifei was even more incredulous to be assigned to Ye Qianqiu's group.

He had a bad feeling. Could this secret realm have been prepared for him?

However, Shen Yifei didn't care. He had been wanting to settle scores with Ye Qianqiu for a long time. Once they entered the secret realm, it was uncertain who would kill whom.

"Attention all groups," Lu Ya continued, "After the secret realm opens, the seal will reseal in three days. You must leave within three days. If you remain in the secret realm, who knows when it will loosen again."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lu Ya gave a few more instructions, which were nothing more than nonsense like "don't get entangled in battle with demons" and "look out for each other".

After saying that, he waved his hand and announced, "All groups, get ready! The secret realm will open in two days!"

As everyone dispersed, Shen Yifei remained still, waiting for Ye Qianqiu.

This guy is definitely going to cause me trouble. Rather than letting him do something sneaky, I'd better confront him directly.

As expected, after everyone left, Ye Qianqiu walked directly towards Shen Yifei.

"Shen Yifei, where is my nephew, Sun Huan?"

Shen Yifei looked completely innocent. "Master Ye, that's a strange question. How would I know where your nephew is?"

"Someone saw him leave Yong'an City, led a group to chase after you, and then disappeared!" Ye Qianqiu's voice was filled with malice, as if he wanted to skin Shen Yifei alive.

"Master Ye, you're wronging me," Shen Yifei said, shrugging. "I did see your nephew in Yong'an City, and even tried to snatch a sword from him at Zuixianlou. But after leaving Zuixianlou, I went straight to the East Sea Dragon Palace to discuss business with the dragons. What does your nephew's disappearance have to do with me?"

"You little bastard, your cultivation has improved so quickly, did you... did you refine Sun Huan into a pill and eat him?"

"Oh dear, Master Ye, please don't frame me. It's true that I can refine pills, but I've never tried turning people into pills before. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime?"

"Bah, you little brat, don't think I don't know you turned Elder Han Lie of the Golden Crow Sect into a pill!"

Shen Yifei was somewhat surprised when he heard Ye Qianqiu's words.

Han Lie refined himself into a human pill and even gave it to Lu Ya as a congratulatory gift, which means Lu Ya has found out.

Lu Ya knew, and Ye Qianqiu definitely knew too. The two old guys were wearing pants with only one leg.

But Shen Yifei showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and said, "Master Ye, even if I knew how to refine people into pills, how could I dare to touch an elder of the Golden Crow Sect? My cultivation is not even comparable to Elder Han's finger. He could crush me with a flick of his finger. How could I possibly refine him?"

Ye Qianqiu was taken aback by Shen Yifei's words; what the kid said seemed to make some sense.

Han Lie was at least at the peak of the Mahayana stage, while Shen Yifei was only at the late Nascent Soul stage at that time. How could he possibly kill Han Lie?

Judging from the way Lu Ya spoke, he didn't seem to be faking it. But no matter what, there's something strange about this kid, and Sun Huan's disappearance is related to him!

"Shen Yifei, if Sun Huan has offended you in any way, please forgive him. You are a magnanimous person, so please let him off the hook."

Ye Qianqiu's words startled Shen Yifei. Was this the same Ye Qianqiu who had fought to the death with him?

Shen Yifei understood that Ye Qianqiu was afraid.

Fearing that he might actually turn Sun Huan into a pill, he injured Ye Wuhen, but at least he spared his life.

Now, Sun Huan has vanished without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

However, Shen Yifei knew even better that if he returned Sun Huan to him, Ye Qianqiu would not spare a single cut when he tore him to pieces.

"Master Ye, I truly do not know where your nephew has gone. Once things are settled here in the secret realm, I will have my family's Heavenly Mystery Pavilion send someone out to inquire for you..."

Seeing that Shen Yifei refused to admit it no matter what, Ye Qianqiu had no choice but to give up.

He flicked his sleeve and said, "You little bastard, I gave you a way out, but you refused. We'll see!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing him about to leave, Shen Yifei called out, "Master Ye, don't worry, I will definitely help you find your nephew and reunite you two as soon as possible!"
