The old woman agreed to Yun Lan's request, and the others followed suit, quickly returning to attend to their own matters.

As soon as Yun Lan flew back to the area where Tianyan Sect was located, Ming Zhao and Ming Ye squeezed in from both sides, each holding onto one of Yun Lan's arms.

"Sister, are you okay?" This was Ming Ye.

"Sister, what did she say to you when she took you away?" This was Ming Zhao.

They saw it clearly. At that time, besides Yun Lan, all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators from other sects were taken away by the old woman. Now they had been released, so there must have been a purpose behind it.

"I'm fine." Yun Lan pulled the two little ones aside first and bowed to Xuan Cheng, saying, "Master Uncle."

"Is everything alright?"

Yun Lan felt a gentle force probing her body.

She knew that Xuan Cheng was checking to see if she had been injured during the process of being taken away. However, she still felt a strong sense of rejection in her heart, wanting to avoid this behavior from him.

But she held back.

"Disciple is fine. That senior just wanted us to take care of the young man who had just entered the secret realm, and she gave us an advance payment for it."

Yun Lan unfolded the bag for Xuan Cheng to see, showing him what was inside.

The old woman's strength was not weak, and she had a background. Their conversation would definitely be heard by the other party, so Yun Lan couldn't speak directly. But she believed that Xuan Cheng would understand what she meant.

Sure enough, when Xuan Cheng saw the large amount of spiritual stones inside, his pupils contracted for a moment, immediately giving up the idea of letting other disciples enter the secret realm.

Indeed, the Five Elements Sect was not to be underestimated, casually taking out seven hundred high-grade spiritual stones.

It's just a pity for Yun Lan. The Tianyan Sect's inheritance is not prosperous, and it's not easy to have such an outstanding disciple, but...

"Since you have promised her, take care of that young man more in the secret realm!" Xuan Cheng Dao Ren sighed.

"Disciple understands."

After finishing the instructions with his senior uncle, Yun Lan called the two junior brothers aside.

Ming Zhao and Ming Ye are four years younger than Yun Lan. They were brought back to Ruo Xu Peak by their master when they were young. They are very obedient and sensible, and they are close to Yun Lan. It can be said that they grew up with Yun Lan.

Yun Lan has no parents and was raised by his master. They are like her own younger brothers. In addition to Master Ming Xu Zi and Junior Sister Li Luo, there is no one closer to them in this world.

That's why Yun Lan can be so sure that the scene in front of her is a heart demon, because her master and junior brothers and sisters would never look at her with such eyes.

"You two listen to me. This secret realm is really strange. After I go in, you two should obediently go back with the master and don't think about coming to find me."

The two brothers are naturally intelligent. How could they not understand Yun Lan's meaning?

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

They were close enough to see clearly what was in the bag that Yun Lan took out, and with the conversation between Yun Lan and Xuan Cheng Dao Ren, they immediately guessed the whole story.

"Sister, give the bag back to her..."

Yun Lan used her spiritual power to stop Ming Ye from speaking, preventing him from saying the rest of his words, and looked at Ming Zhao: "Ming Zhao, you have a calm personality, while Ming Ye is more carefree. In the future, you should look after him more. Take these spirit stones with you, and in the future..."

"We don't want them!"

Unexpectedly, Ming Zhao, who has always been sensible, pushed Yun Lan's hand back.

"Listen to me!"

Ming Zhao's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly, "We will earn our own spirit stones. We don't want your life-saving money!"

Yun Lan was taken aback by Ming Zhao's hysterical appearance. She felt a bit at a loss. But time was limited, and she couldn't persuade him anymore. She could only shift her gaze to Xuan Cheng Dao Ren.

"Master, could you please help me deliver these spirit stones to our master?"

Although she didn't understand why she had such a strong aversion to her master's uncle this time after waking up, it was already quite good that only Xuan Cheng Dao Ren had asked the old woman among so many people just now.

In front of so many disciples, Yun Lan believed that he would help her deliver the spirit stones to her master.

Xuan Cheng Dao Ren lowered his eyes and said, "Ming Zhao is right. You should keep these spirit stones for yourself! The secret realm is full of dangers, and you may need them. I will take care of the two of them for you. We will wait for you to come back at the sect."

Helpless, Yun Lan could only keep these spirit stones since her master's uncle had said so.

Her master's uncle was right. There is always a way when there is a will. Although it seemed like a dead end, what if they managed to bring that young man out alive?

If things didn't work out, she would find a chance to knock out the young man and bring him out when the secret realm passage was about to close.

Without saying anything more, Yun Lan summoned her Qinglian Sword and flew to the entrance of the secret realm, waiting for the other six people to gather.

She didn't know what the situation was like in the secret realm. It was the best choice to travel with others so that they could take care of each other in case of any accidents.

Seeing that Yun Lan had already set off, the others no longer hesitated and quickly flew over. The seven of them entered the dark passage together.

The wandering cultivators were getting restless. Their cultivation levels were low, and they didn't know what had happened just now. However, seeing the disciples of the major sects entering one after another after a while, they thought that maybe there was no problem in the secret realm, just that it was more dangerous.

Didn't that young man from the Five Elements Sect enter without any hesitation?

They believed that fortune favors the brave, and only in dangerous places could they gain greater benefits.

Little did they know that the "disciples of the major sects" they mentioned had already prepared to leave this place.

After entering the passage, Yun Lan felt her body being torn apart by an inexplicable force. She quickly used her spiritual power to protect herself, while taking out a spirit stone and holding it in her hand, ready to replenish her consumed spiritual power at any time.

Fortunately, the tearing force didn't last too long. A ray of light appeared in the darkness and gradually expanded, soon beginning to descend.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"

There were also sounds of descent around her, the other cultivators who came in with her were not separated.

Her vision gradually restored, and Yun Lan saw the surroundings clearly. They had entered a forest.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't the scene she had seen before, just an ordinary secret realm.

Their group was not separated either, which means the entrance to the secret realm should be fixed. As long as they followed the traces left by the young man, they would soon find him.

Protecting him in the secret realm and safely bringing him out, then this matter would be considered resolved.

As they were about to reach the ground, the Green Lotus Sword appeared under Yun Lan's feet again, preventing her from falling and instead hovering in mid-air.

Others followed suit, stabilizing their postures.

"Let's go down first, it's easy to attract the attention of monsters in the sky." The Changchun Sect disciple who had made eye contact with Yun Lan spoke up.

Everyone agreed.

"Let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Huang Xinyue, at the mid-stage of Golden Core realm, and I am a pill cultivator."

It could be seen that Huang Xinyue held a relatively high status among the disciples of the Changchun Sect. Naturally, she took over the leadership of the team, which Yun Lan was happy to let her handle.

She thought to herself, how could Huang Xinyue, a pill cultivator, possibly come at her with a big knife?

The appearance of the secret realm was also completely different from what she had seen, so it seemed that the possibility of a demonic illusion was greater.

But in the current situation, she had to be vigilant at all times and not let the demonic illusion affect her combat.
