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

Upon hearing Shen Yifei ask him to recognize Hai Xue'er, A Bao immediately nodded and bowed, "Master, don't worry, I guarantee I'll recognize her just by taking one look!"

Shen Yifei found a secluded spot, and with a thought, A Bao felt a blur before his eyes and was pulled into an unfamiliar space.

He looked around. In the distance, the mountains were shrouded in mist, the nearby pavilions were exquisite and elegant, and a medicinal field exuded a rich spiritual energy.

"Where...where is this?" Abao stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock.

"Don't worry about where she is, just see if she's Hai Xue'er?" Shen Yifei asked, pointing to Xue Yuan in the distance.

Abao looked in the direction he was pointing and exclaimed, "Oh my god! Master! It's her! That's the scent! There's no mistake! This woman is Hyland's precious daughter, Hai Xue'er! That scent of the siren royal family on her, I'd recognize her even if she turned to ashes... no, even if she turned to water!"

"Pah, can't you be serious for once? Why are you turning into water...?"

"She's Xue'er... what else could she become but water?"

"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure she's Hai Xue'er?"

"Master, you must trust my abilities. Even if I'm not good at anything else, I can recognize her scent and her spirit from anywhere!"

After receiving confirmation from A Bao, Shen Yifei flew with him to the group of women.

When Liu Mengli saw Shen Yifei, she exclaimed, "Oh my god! Master, what did you pick up this time?"

Shen Yifei ignored her and walked directly to Xue Yuan. "Princess Hai Xue'er, hello there."

Xue Yuan's body stiffened abruptly. She raised her head, a flicker of panic crossing her large, watery eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "Young Master, what did you say? I... I'm not Hai Xue'er, my name is Xue Yuan..."

"Still pretending?" Shen Yifei stared into her eyes. "Your soul aura has already been exposed. You think you've hidden it well? Too bad, you've encountered a soul envoy who specializes in eating souls."

Abao immediately floated out from behind Shen Yifei, grinned at Xue Yuan, and said, "Miss Hai Xue'er, how have you been?"

The moment Xueyuan saw Abao, the smile on her face vanished completely; she recognized him as the Soul Messenger of the Soul Devouring Demon God.

Xue Yuan's eyes turned cold, and her aura instantly became sharp.

"The Soul Servant of the Soul-Devouring Demon God?" Xue Yuan stared at A. "You actually dared to betray the Demon God?"

"Betrayal? I call this abandoning darkness for light," A Bao chuckled. "You know better than I what the Soul Devouring Demon God has done all these years."

Xue Yuan was somewhat deflated after hearing A Bao's words. She raised her head and looked at Shen Yifei, "I am Hai Xue'er, the daughter of the Sea Demon Clan Chief."

Liu Mengli was the first to explode, "What? You're a princess of the sea monster clan? Then why did you pretend to be pitiful and ask me to take you in? Are you trying to scam us?"

Hai Xue'er bowed slightly to Liu Mengli, "Sister Mengli, I didn't come here to trick you; I had no choice!"

She looked at Shen Yifei again, "I thought I had disguised myself very well, even completely sealing my cultivation, making me no different from an ordinary person. I didn't expect that you would still recognize me."

"You really did a good job of disguising yourself; you even fooled me. Luckily, he was there!" Shen Yifei pointed at A Bao.

When A Bao was praised by Shen Yifei, the mist around him seemed to harden a bit.

Hai Xue'er gave a bitter smile, "Since I've fallen into your hands, do with me as you please."

"Kill you? I have no grudge against you, why would I kill you?"

"You...you're not going to kill me?" Hai Xue'er's voice trembled slightly. "I came here to scheme against you!"

"Many people have schemed against me, who do you think you are? Tell me, Princess Hai Xue'er, why did you give up being a proper demon princess and come to approach me? What benefits did the Soul Devouring Demon God promise you?"

Hai Xue'er bit her lip and remained silent for a while before slowly speaking: "He didn't give me any benefits. When you entered Beiluo City, his soul messengers discovered you and saw that you had the aura of the Five Elements Demon God."

"Oh, these soul messengers have very sharp noses! They can actually recognize the Five Elements Demon Gods!"

Ah Bao quickly showed off, "Master, I can do that too! It seems that when the Soul Devouring Demon God created us, he endowed us with this ability. I can recognize the aura of the nine great demon gods."

Shen Yifei nodded. "Princess Xue'er, please continue."

"The Soul-Devouring Demon God controlled my father a long time ago. His mind was controlled by two of the Soul-Devouring Demon God's soul messengers. The Soul-Devouring Demon God sent someone to tell me to approach you and absorb the five elements of demonic power from you. If I didn't do as they said, they would kill my father."

"They controlled your father?" Shen Yifei frowned. "Isn't your father at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending realm? How could he be controlled by two Soul Envoys?"

"Those two soul messengers are different." A hint of fear appeared in Hai Xue'er's eyes. "They are the soul messengers of the Soul Devouring Demon God, with extremely high cultivation levels. They can directly invade the sea of ​​consciousness of cultivators at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage. Although my father has profound cultivation, he has been fighting against the Northern Underworld Human Race for many years, and his inner demons have multiplied. Those two soul messengers took advantage of his weakness and controlled his mind."

Abao chimed in, "Master, what she said is true. The Soul Devouring Demon God has eight Natal Soul Envoys under his command, each with the cultivation level of the late Tribulation Transcending stage. The two beside Hyland, one named Black Soul and the other White Fiend, are indeed not easy to deal with."

"The Eight Great Soul Envoys?" Shen Yifei glanced at A Bao. "And you? Where are you ranked?"

Abao swayed a little embarrassedly, "I... I'm just an outer-level Soul Envoy, not even a true Soul Envoy, not even ninety-ninth in rank."

"Then why were you bragging earlier that you were also a Soul Envoy under the Soul Devouring Demon God?" Shen Yifei retorted irritably. "I thought you were some kind of powerful figure."

"Master..." Abao quickly begged for mercy, "Although I am not very strong, I know everything about the Soul Devouring Demon God. I will definitely lead you to the Underworld Abyss."

Shen Yifei ignored him and looked at Hai Xue'er, "You said you were forced to scheme against me, then I ask you, what methods did the Soul Devouring Demon God instruct you to use to absorb the Five Elements Demon God power from me?"

Hai Xue'er's face flushed red instantly. She lowered her head and stammered for a while before whispering, "He...he gave me a set of cultivation techniques, saying...saying that as long as I...I offer myself to you, I can take advantage of your momentary loss of focus to control your consciousness and then slowly absorb the power of the Five Elements Demon God within you..."

"What did you say? Offer yourself to me?" Shen Yifei's eyes widened as he looked Hai Xue'er up and down, thinking, "That old bastard, the Soul Devouring Demon God, is quite knowledgeable; he knows I'm into this kind of thing."

Hai Xue'er's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and hummed, "That cultivation technique... I... I've seen it. It requires... it requires using divine sense to invade your sea of ​​consciousness at that time..."

"Oh, I see." Shen Yifei stroked his chin, a mischievous grin on his face. "Hehe... So when do you plan to make your move?"

Hai Xue'er was taken aback. "Huh? Make a move?"

"I'm asking you, when do you plan to make your move against me? Tonight, or tomorrow night?"

Hai Xue'er was caught off guard by his question, "I...I haven't thought about it yet..."

"That's good, you haven't thought it through yet. If you really lay a hand on me, we might end up with whoever gets the last drop of blood!"
