Li Kuangyun chuckled and said, “Mr. Ye, you are unaware of this. Our Li family of Fengyuan City is merely a branch of the Li family of Baihua City in Hengzhou. The Li family of Baihua City is an absolutely top-tier powerful family, and as a branch, our Li family of Fengyuan City is naturally not that powerful. As for Baiyuan Hall, it belongs to the Li family of Baihua City, which is our main family. Our Li family of Fengyuan City is just managing it.”

Upon hearing Li Kuangyun's explanation, Ye Feng finally understood.

It turns out that the Li family in Fengyuan City is just a branch. No wonder they are a second-tier wealthy family in Fengyuan City, yet they have a transcendent status.

Just then, Ye Feng spotted a familiar figure.

It was a woman, dressed in a long black dress, with a red hairpin in her hair.

It was none other than Xiao Mingyue, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family!

When Li Kuangyunye saw Xiao Mingyue, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family would also come here. This is quite a surprise."

"Why the surprise?" Night Wind asked.

Li Kuangyun lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Ye, you don't know this, but although the Tianle Secret Realm was created by Tianle Sanren, a living saint who has entered the Saint Realm, there are actually no rare treasures inside. The Tianle Secret Realm was opened several times hundreds of years ago, and all the items inside were taken away."

If it were any other martial artist, they would definitely be greatly disappointed to hear Li Kuangyun say that.

However, Ye Feng did not feel this way, because he had not come for rare treasures in the first place.

Ye Feng's goal was to find Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan. Once he found them, his objective would be achieved. Obtaining rare treasures would be ideal, but not getting them wouldn't matter; he didn't care.

However, Li Kuangyun knew that there were no rare treasures in the Tianle Secret Realm, so why did he still come here? What was his purpose?

Ye Feng was a straightforward person who said whatever came to mind. He asked directly, "Since you know there's nothing good inside, why did you come here?"

"Of course it's for training! As a martial artist, one must constantly challenge and overcome difficulties in order to reach new heights and become stronger! Although there are no treasures in the Tianle Secret Realm, the various defensive formations and restrictions within, as well as the various demonic beasts that live in the secret realm, are all obstacles that will hone my skills."

"So I have to go in there once, broaden my horizons, and challenge my limits!"

Li Kuangyun clenched his fist as he spoke, exuding a strong sense of pride.

Night Breeze smiled and said, "It's not a bad thing that you have this idea."

Xiao Mingyue also noticed the night wind at this moment.

Upon seeing Ye Feng, Xiao Mingyue's expression immediately turned sour.

After all, Ye Feng hadn't shown her any respect at the martial arts market, and as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, she had almost never encountered anything like this before.

Normally, everyone would address her politely as Miss Xiao and try to curry favor with her.

Ye Feng's actions that day naturally displeased her greatly.

Xiao Mingyue strode over and said before she even reached Ye Feng, "I never expected to run into you here. It's like finding a needle in a haystack!"

"What do you want?" Night Breeze asked calmly.

“If we meet after entering the Heavenly Joy Secret Realm, I will take that Heavenly Star Stone from your hands!” Xiao Mingyue’s expression was extremely cold.

The night breeze was delighted.

Xiao Mingyue actually said these words so openly. Should I say she was upright and honest, or that she was completely naive?

"I advise you to give up that idea; you are no match for me," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.

"That's hard to say!"

Xiao Mingyue said coldly, and even snorted.

Li Kuangyun looked at Ye Feng and then at Xiao Mingyue, a hint of doubt on his face.

After Xiao Mingyue walked away, Li Kuangyun asked curiously, "Mr. Ye, how did you and Xiao Mingyue come to have a grudge?"

"I bought a Celestial Star Stone at the martial arts market before, and Xiao Mingyue happened to see it. She wanted to buy it from me, but I refused, so she held a grudge against me," Ye Feng said nonchalantly.

“Xiao Mingyue is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. She has had a smooth life since childhood and is used to being bossy. Mr. Ye, you don’t need to lower yourself to her level,” Li Kuangyun said.

"I certainly won't stoop to her level, but if she comes looking for trouble after we enter the secret realm, then I won't be polite to her," Ye Feng said calmly.

Li Kuangyun didn't say anything more, since Ye Feng's attitude was fine.

It was at this moment that Ye Feng saw another familiar face.

It is indeed the Heaven-Defying Young Master!

The arrogant young master appeared alone this time, with his hands behind his back, looking as if he had the world in his grasp.

The appearance of the rebellious young master naturally attracted the attention of all the martial artists present.

Many martial artists had already begun to whisper among themselves.

"Look, the Heaven-Defying Young Master is here!"

"I knew the Heaven-Defying Young Master would come!"

"Yes, the Heaven-Defying Young Master hasn't made a public appearance for a long time, but now that the Heavenly Joy Secret Realm has opened, he suddenly appeared in our Fengyuan City. So it's obvious that the Heavenly Joy Secret Realm has piqued his interest!"

Listening to the whispers and discussions among the martial artists present, the arrogant young master revealed a look of pride on his face.

Xiao Mingyue frowned and said, "Xiao Yan, how dare you show your face!"

"Why wouldn't I dare to show up? Do you think I'm afraid of you, afraid of your Xiao family?" The rebellious young master sneered.

"Once you enter the secret realm, I will let you know that you are nothing more than a discarded pawn of the Xiao family!" Xiao Mingyue said coldly.

"Words are useless. Let's settle this with our skills!" After saying that, the Rebellious Young Master ignored Xiao Mingyue.

Ye Feng and Li Kuangyun both found it very funny.

This Xiao Mingyue really has the temper of a spoiled young lady; she'll pounce on anyone she doesn't like and take a bite out of them.

She'll get a lesson sooner or later for acting like this!

The time has come, and ripples begin to appear on the water at the entrance to the Heavenly Joy Secret Realm.

As time went on, the restrictions became increasingly unstable, and the ripples on the surface became more and more intense.

Finally, with a soft "poof," the barrier at the entrance to the Heavenly Joy Secret Realm shattered completely, revealing the dark cave hidden behind it.

"The entrance is open, let's go in quickly!"

"It will be too late to delay!"

"Go! Go quickly!"

One after another, martial artists rushed towards the cave entrance, scrambling and jostling for space – it was quite a lively scene.

There were about a hundred people gathered here just a moment ago, but now there are only a few left.

"Mr. Ye, shall we go in too?" Li Kuangyun asked with a smile.

"Um."

Night Breeze nodded and strode towards the entrance of the Heavenly Joy Secret Realm.
