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

Shen Yifei pretended to have just put on his clothes and slowly pushed open the door.

A man in a red robe stood at the entrance. Shen Yifei recognized him as one of the Four Protectors, but he didn't know who he was.

The newcomer saw Shen Yifei open the door, quickly scanned the room, and found nothing unusual. Then he clasped his hands and said, "I am Feng Lin, the Four Symbols Protector."

"Oh, so it's the Great Protector. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner..."

Shen Yifei felt that Feng Lin definitely didn't believe what Feng Shan said, so he came to investigate in person.

"Sect Master Shen, the Grand Elder requests your presence; he has important matters to discuss."

"Oh, he already misses me after just parting ways with the Grand Elder?" Shen Yifei yawned, looking like he had just woken up. "What's the rush? I'm still a bit tipsy."

Feng Lin glanced at him but didn't say anything more. "Sect Leader Shen will know when he gets there. Please follow me."

Shen Yifei feigned helplessness, "Well then, I'll trouble you to lead the way, Great Protector."

As soon as the two left, a group of golden-armored soldiers emerged from the shadows and immediately surrounded Shen Yifei's residence.

Upon entering the main hall, Shen Yifei was startled.

The main hall was brightly lit, and all four guardians and most of the twelve elders were present, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.

Feng Xiaotian sat in the main seat, his face ashen. When he saw Shen Yifei enter, his eyes practically spitting fire.

"Elder, you wanted to see me?" Shen Yifei cupped his hands in greeting, looking puzzled.

Feng Xiaotian didn't speak, but stared at him for a long time, as if waiting for him to confess something.

Shen Yifei scratched his head. "Elder, why are you looking at me like that? We just finished drinking and have only been apart for a short while, you..."

"Sect Master Shen," Feng Xiaotian interrupted him, his face devoid of any smile, "you know about tonight's events, don't you?"

"What happened tonight?" Shen Yifei looked blank. "I just went back to bed and hadn't fallen asleep yet when the Great Protector came to wake me up. I don't know anything about it."

"Sect Leader Shen, Her Highness the Princess has gone missing."

"Huh? The princess is missing?" Shen Yifei's eyes widened, his mouth agape! "Elder...Elder, she wouldn't have heard what you said tonight about betrothing the princess to me...?"

"Bullshit! She won't get any information from them!" The Grand Elder was furious!

Something's off about this kid. The princess disappeared as soon as he arrived! Feng Wu is definitely still in his hands. The key is that we haven't gotten our hands on that legendary jade seal yet, so we can't force him for now!

Thinking of this, the Grand Elder's tone softened again, "Sect Master Shen, I was just too anxious. The princess's disappearance has made me extremely anxious, and I inevitably lost my composure. Please don't take offense, Sect Master Shen."

When Shen Yifei heard the elder's tone soften, he wondered if the old man was up to something again.

His face still wore that innocent expression. "The Grand Elder is right. Anyone would be frantic if the princess went missing. But Grand Elder, you summoned me here in the middle of the night, you don't suspect me of kidnapping the princess, do you?"

Feng Xiaotian stared at him for three breaths, then suddenly laughed, "Sect Leader Shen is a wise man. I won't beat around the bush either. The princess's disappearance is too suspicious. I suspect that someone infiltrated the secret realm and kidnapped the princess."

"Huh? Someone infiltrated?" Shen Yifei's eyes widened. "Who has such ability? Aren't the restrictions of your Wutong Secret Realm so tight that even a mosquito can't get in?"

"This is also what I can't understand." Feng Xiaotian stood up, walked to Shen Yifei, and stood with his hands behind his back. "The restrictions of the Wutong Secret Realm are indeed impregnable. Unless... someone is colluding with us from the inside."

After he finished speaking, he gave Shen Yifei a meaningful look.

Shen Yifei thought to himself, "This old man is still not giving up."

However, Ye Ling's abilities were beyond his comprehension. She was sure that no one would notice if she rescued the princess. Even if Feng Xiaotian had suspicions, he would have no evidence to prove it.

As Shen Yifei was thinking, Feng Tianxiao suddenly took out something and flashed it in front of him.

"Ding..." A clear and melodious bell rang out.

The sound wasn't loud, but it carried a strange magic, piercing through the eardrums and striking straight into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Yifei felt a loud "buzz" in his head and his whole body suddenly felt dizzy.

His vision began to blur, and Feng Tianxiao's smiling face became distorted in his eyes.

"It's over, it's over..." Shen Yifei cursed inwardly. This old guy was smiling but hiding a knife, he actually launched a sneak attack!

The Phoenix Bell was indeed eerie; his spiritual defenses were as fragile as paper in the face of its sound.

He felt his consciousness being pulled by an invisible force, falling into the abyss.

He tried desperately to maintain his composure, but the force was too strong, and he couldn't resist it at all.

Shen Yifei felt as if his body and consciousness had separated. He knew that his consciousness was being controlled, but he could no longer control it.

"Sect Master Shen," Feng Tianxiao's voice carried a seductive undertone, "where exactly have you hidden that girl Feng Wu? And who rescued Her Highness the Princess?"

Shen Yifei's consciousness became increasingly blurred, and the figures of Feng Wu and the princess kept flashing in his mind.

He felt he was about to lose control of his mouth and spill everything.

Feng Xiaotian looked at Shen Yifei's trembling mouth and knew that he was about to give in and reveal these two secrets.

He smiled slightly and continued to tempt her, "Where did you hide the princess and Feng Wu? Hand them over, and I'll give you all the dancers tonight!"

Upon hearing the word "dancers," Shen Yifei's lips twitched twice, almost as if he were about to say, "They're all here with me!"

At this critical moment, a wisp of red energy from deep within his dantian split off and rushed straight into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Yifei felt a surge of heat flowing from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, as if someone had poured a bucket of hot water over his head, and he shuddered.

His blurred consciousness instantly returned to clarity.

He opened his eyes and saw Feng Xiaotian's smiling face facing him, his eyes full of expectation, waiting for him to speak.

Shen Yifei cursed inwardly, "Damn it, I almost fell for that old bastard's trick."

But he still had that dazed look on his face, his eyes were unfocused, and there was a silly smile on his lips.

"Phoenix... Phoenix Dance..." he mumbled incoherently.

Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer. "Yes, where is Feng Wu? And the princess, where are they?"

"Feng Wu...she...she..." Shen Yifei shook his head, his eyes even more confused.

Feng Xiaotian looked on with anticipation. The mystery was about to be revealed. As long as he knew where they were hiding, he would dig three feet into the ground to find them.

With the heirloom imperial seal in hand, it doesn't matter who kidnapped the princess, or whether she's alive or dead!

Shen Yifei wiped his drool with his hand, then flicked it hard, splattering it all over Feng Xiaotian's face!

Feng Xiaotian didn't care and just waited for Shen Yifei to say the last few words!

"Here...here..." Shen Yifei kept repeating this one word!

Feng Xiaotian grew anxious, "Quickly, tell me, where is Feng Wu?"

"Where...where...are you? I don't know!"
