Ling Ruoye was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder by Ling Ruoxuan, and seeing her so agitated made him freeze for a moment, his expression changing immediately.

Because at that moment, as Ling Ruoxuan's aura became chaotic, she noticed something missing from her!

"Sister, you... you've lost your pure yin?!!"

Feeling shocked inside, Ling Ruoye grabbed Ling Ruoxuan's shoulder in return, his emotions also becoming agitated at that moment.

"Could it be... that person was Xiao Ming?!!"

Hearing Ling Ruoye's words, Ling Ruoxuan's expression changed again. She broke free from his grip, took a deep breath, and her expression returned to its usual cold demeanor.

"It was just an accident. If it weren't for the Extreme Lust Demon Lord's scheme, how could I have..."

As she spoke, Ling Ruoxuan seemed to feel embarrassed and immediately changed the subject.

"I'll be going into seclusion for a while. The matters of Jade Maiden Peak will be left to you."

With that, Ling Ruoxuan turned to leave, but paused slightly as if she remembered something.

"By the way, don't go looking for trouble with him. I was the one who forced him; it has nothing to do with him."

"As for him and your disciple, just let things take their course..."

With those words, Ling Ruoxuan's figure disappeared, leaving Ling Ruoye in a state of confusion.

Because long ago, one of Ling Ruoxuan's closest senior sisters was captured and humiliated to death by people from the Nine Nether Demon Gate, and her body was thrown in front of the Fuyou Sacred Land's mountain gate.

Since then, Ling Ruoxuan not only harbored deep hatred for the demons of the Nine Nether Demon Gate but also had no fondness for men in the world, always maintaining a cold demeanor.

But unexpectedly...

After guarding her chastity for hundreds of years, Ling Ruoxuan lost herself to a man due to an accident, and the man was her disciple's fiancé.

This is truly... a sin!

"One can escape for a while, but not forever. What should be done next?"

On one side was her sister, and on the other was her disciple, both residing at Jade Maiden Peak.

And although Xiao Ming was taken as a disciple by the master of Moonwatch Peak and usually wouldn't appear in the main peaks of Fuyou Sacred Land, he was still within the sacred land, and they would inevitably meet one day.

This made Ling Ruoye feel a headache just thinking about it.

It seemed she had to find an opportunity to test Xiao Ming and see what kind of attitude he had towards her sister.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

And what kind of attitude he had towards her disciple.

…………

"Phew, in just two and a half days, not only have I comprehended the Great Wilderness Refining God Technique to a minor level, but I've also reached a minor level in the Burning Flame Controlling Fire Technique."

"My strength has advanced by leaps and bounds!"

Feeling his control over the Desolate Power and Chaos True Fire becoming more adept, Xiao Ming showed a satisfied smile.

His cultivation had also stabilized at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea. With a bit more time to harmonize, he could break through to the Cave Heaven Realm.

It's just a pity that two and a half days were still too short.

The Great Wilderness Prison Heaven Finger and Eight Wilderness Traversing Technique were still at the entry level, so it seemed he needed to spend more time comprehending these divine abilities.

"I'm feeling a bit hungry..."

"I'll go find that junior sister, the female emperor, and have her make me something to eat."

Thinking about how Feng Xianhuang had been holed up in her cave dwelling for the past two and a half days, seemingly avoiding him, her senior brother, made Xiao Ming quite displeased.

She had promised to cook for him in the future, yet she was hiding away.

Wasn't this clearly reneging on her promise?!

Although, as a cultivator like him, he could completely do without food.

But was he really concerned about satisfying his hunger? What he cared about was Feng Xianhuang's attitude.

Therefore, he had to go remind her to keep her promise.

"Where is the master of Moonwatch Peak?"

"I am the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Guard Pavilion of Fuyou Sacred Land, and I have important matters to discuss with the two disciples of Moonwatch Peak."

Just as Xiao Ming was about to get up and leave the cave dwelling, an aged voice suddenly echoed in the void.

This made Xiao Ming's eyes narrow.

The Heavenly Guard Pavilion.

This seemed to be the institution responsible for assigning tasks and distributing resources in Fuyou Sacred Land.

Could it be...

That the Fuyou Sacred Master had some task for them?!

As the thought crossed his mind, Xiao Ming stepped out of the cave dwelling.

Looking up, he saw that Feng Xianhuang, who was also in seclusion, had uncharacteristically emerged from her cave dwelling.

"Come in..."

As Jiang Xuanying's voice echoed in the void, a ripple appeared, and the elder was directly transported inside.

This was because the void around Moonwatch Peak had been set with restrictions by Jiang Xuanying.

Without her permission, or unless one had cultivated the Great Wilderness Refining God Technique, anyone attempting to enter Moonwatch Peak would trigger the restriction.

Even a Saint Realm expert would be instantly obliterated under Jiang Xuanying's restriction!

Therefore, within Fuyou Sacred Land, without Jiang Xuanying's permission, not even the peak masters dared to step into the inner area of Moonwatch Peak.

"Greetings, young friends. This is our first meeting. I am Xu Bicheng, the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Guard Pavilion."

Upon entering Moonwatch Peak, Xu Bicheng landed in front of Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang, smiling as he cupped his hands in greeting.

Although his cultivation had reached the fourth level of the Saint Realm, making him a top-tier expert in Fuyou Sacred Land, he dared not put on airs in front of Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang.

"Elder Xu, you're too kind."

Seeing this, Xiao Ming and Feng Xianhuang returned the greeting and then curiously asked.

"What brings Elder Xu here today?"

"There are indeed some matters..."

Xu Bicheng replied without wasting words, getting straight to the point.

"In about ten days, the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm in the northern part of the vast mountain range of the Northern Profound Realm will open. The Sacred Master has sent me to ask if you wish to participate."

"If you do, you won't need to participate in the inner sect competition to qualify for the secret realm."

"If you choose not to go, the sacred land won't force you."

"Ghost Fiend Secret Realm?"

Hearing Xu Bicheng's words, Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed, showing a hint of surprise.

He knew a bit about this secret realm from his time with the Xiao family.

It was said that over three thousand years ago, a fragment of a small world traversed from beyond the void and finally fell in the northern part of the vast mountain range, forming this secret realm.

It's said to be filled with various fiendish auras and all sorts of demons and ghosts, but it also contains countless opportunities.

Besides some rare heavenly treasures, the most tempting thing in the secret realm is the fiendish aura!

This fiendish aura contains a trace of the world's shattered origin.

If a Spirit Sea cultivator could devour it, they could not only easily break through to the Cave Heaven Realm but also significantly enhance the quality of their Cave Heaven.

So this secret realm, after emerging from the vast mountain range, was fiercely contested by various forces but ultimately came under the control of the five major hegemonic forces of the Northern Profound Realm.

However, because the world's rules within the secret realm are incomplete, cultivators above the Cave Heaven Realm cannot enter, and the fiendish aura is difficult to nurture.

The five forces joined forces to set a restriction, opening the secret realm once every ten years to send their juniors in to vie for opportunities.

And in about ten days, the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm would open once again.

"We'll participate!"

As information about the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm flashed through Xiao Ming's mind, Feng Xianhuang, without a second thought, agreed.

If she remembered correctly, this time when the secret realm opened, an unprecedented seven-colored fiendish aura would appear!

In her previous life, the seven-colored fiendish aura was seized and refined by two prodigies from Taiyi Sacred Land and Yaokun Sacred Land, creating two supreme geniuses even more terrifying than the emperor's heirs.

Even with her ancient phoenix bloodline, she was suppressed by those two for a long time.

In this life, she couldn't let such an opportunity fall into others' hands!

"Very well."

Seeing Feng Xianhuang agree so readily, Xiao Ming didn't object, and Xu Bicheng smiled slightly.

With these two participating, the team from Fuyou Sacred Land would have a backbone, potentially gaining more benefits in the Ghost Fiend Secret Realm.
