What a brilliant method of concealing one's breath!

It seems my junior brother is really something else!

Chang Qingyue thought to herself, and touched the bright red ring on her right hand.

Then Chang Qingyue also used the Breath Concealment Technique to hide her aura, and silently descended into the forest with the night wind.

Night Wind and Evergreen Moon did not use their flying abilities, but instead ran along the ground.

Before long, the two arrived at a valley.

In the valley, there was a clear stream, its water flowing gently and making a crisp sound.

Night Wind followed Chang Qingyue upstream along the stream and soon arrived at a pool.

“This pool is the entrance to the secret realm,” Chang Qingyue said.

Night Wind opened its all-seeing golden eyes and immediately discovered that there was an illusion array set up by someone.

The entrance to the secret realm is located above the pool of water, but because the illusion array conceals the entrance, the pool of water looks like an ordinary pool of water, without any special features.

It's obvious that someone has already entered the secret realm.

Moreover, before entering the secret realm, that person set up an illusion array here to cover the entrance of the secret realm in order to prevent others from entering as well.

"Junior brother, can you spot the entrance to the secret realm?" Chang Qingyue asked.

Ye Feng laughed and said, "Senior brother, are you testing me? If I'm not mistaken, there should be an illusion array here, which conceals the entrance to the secret realm, which is why the entrance hasn't revealed any clues."

"Indeed, Junior Brother has exceptional vision."

Chang Qingyue nodded in satisfaction and gave a thumbs-up.

"Now, I will tear open the illusion array!"

As soon as Chang Qingyue finished speaking, a long sword appeared in his hand.

The longsword looked very ancient, but its blade was pitch black, and there were strange patterns on it, like snake patterns or intersecting black blood vessels.

Chang Qingyue slashed out with her sword, and a large crack appeared on the surface of the pool. However, the crack did not contain pool water, but rather a downward-sloping channel.

"Junior brother, let's go!"

Chang Qingyue sheathed her sword and said this, then leaped into the crevice first.

Night Wind immediately followed, entering the crevice together with Chang Qingyue.

As soon as the two of them entered the crevice, it slowly closed. Before long, several martial artists arrived from afar and landed on the bank of the pool.

“Strange, I think I just sensed some fluctuations of true energy here,” one of them said.

“Me too,” the other person said.

"Check this place thoroughly, don't overlook any clues," the leading male warrior ordered.

So the martial artists started checking everywhere, but after a while they found nothing unusual.

"Perhaps it's just our imagination."

The leading warrior said this, and then led his companions away.

Night Breeze and Evergreen Moon are currently in the secret realm, which is indeed a vast underground space.

Although it was an underground space, it was not dark at all; on the contrary, it was brightly lit everywhere.

Because many plants that emit light grow here, the moss on the ground has an emerald green sheen, the trees in the distance emit a faint purple light, and the vines in the forest emit a crimson sheen.

As a result, the entire underground space was filled with colorful lights, which could be described as magnificent and extraordinary.

"What a wondrous sight!" Chang Qingyue exclaimed.

Night Breeze smiled and said, "This secret realm is indeed breathtaking. Even if there's nothing of value here, the scenery alone makes it a wonderful place to visit."

“Junior brother’s words make a lot of sense,” Chang Qingyue said with a smile.

Suddenly, Ye Feng's expression changed slightly.

A faint fragrance wafted from afar, and it seemed to be the scent of the Qiyun flower!

Could it be that the Treasure Hall doesn't have the Qiyun Flower, but I can obtain it from this secret realm?

If that's the case, then coming here was definitely the right decision!

The night breeze immediately followed the peculiar fragrance, and Chang Qingyue followed suit.

"Junior brother, what did you discover?" Chang Qingyue asked.

"Senior brother, can't you smell a faint fragrance of medicinal herbs? It should be the scent of Qiyun Flower," Ye Feng said.

Chang Qingyue suddenly realized and laughed, "I did smell it, but I don't know anything about medicinal herbs, so I couldn't tell what kind of herb it was... By the way, Junior Brother, you wanted to exchange for the Qiyun Flower in the Treasure Hall before. What do you need the Qiyun Flower for?"

"This is my secret, senior brother, please don't pry," Ye Feng said.

“Alright, I won’t ask then,” Chang Qingyue nodded.

A medicinal herb appeared in Ye Feng's field of vision. Ye Feng quickened his pace and walked over, but just as he was about to reach the Qi Yun Flower, Ye Feng suddenly stopped.

Night Breeze suddenly realized something was wrong.

The flower blooming in the forest is not the Qiyun Flower!

Although the scent emitted by that spiritual flower was very similar to that of the Qiyun flower, its appearance was quite different.

Could it be the rare and fragrant snake flower?

Ye Feng frowned, his hands forming the Sky-Piercing Star Sword Technique, and he approached step by step.

Chang Qingyue also sensed something was wrong, so he followed Ye Feng at a pace that was almost the same as Ye Feng's.

“There’s a dangerous aura,” Chang Qingyue said.

"Hmm, that flower isn't the Qiyun Flower, but the Qixiang Snake Flower... Looks like I got my hopes up for nothing," Night Wind said with a self-deprecating laugh.

At this moment, Ye Feng and Chang Qingyue were less than ten meters away from the Qixiang Snake Flower.

Ye Feng suddenly let out a soft shout and raised his hand to unleash a sword technique.

A tiny, bright star suddenly burst forth from the fingertips of the night wind, shooting off like a meteor and striking the fragrant snake flower.

Boom!

The tiny star exploded, creating a violent shockwave, followed by a scream from the epicenter of the explosion.

"I never expected that you, Junior Brother, have already mastered the Meteor Sword of the Sky-Piercing Star Sword," Chang Qingyue exclaimed in admiration.

"Senior brother, now is not the time to worry about this," Ye Feng reminded him.

As soon as the smoke cleared, a large snake appeared at the epicenter of the explosion.

The large snake appeared to be jet black, but a flower grew from the tip of its tail.

However, the flower had become tattered and was oozing black sap because of the night wind's meteor sword.

That dark liquid was naturally the blood of this giant snake!

"A fifth-grade spirit beast, the Fragrant Serpent."

Chang Qingyue said, a broad smile on her face.

The Fragrant Serpent is a kind of spirit beast in the Tianluo Great World. Although it is only a sixth-grade beast, it is extremely precious.

Because the blood of the Fragrant Serpent can emit a unique fragrance, the aroma becomes richer and longer-lasting after being condensed.

Therefore, the blood of the Strange Fragrance Serpent is highly sought after by countless important figures in the Tianluo Great World.

The blood of the Strange Fragrance Snake is even called liquid gold!

"Senior brother, shall we do it or should I?" Ye Feng asked.
