Jiang Feng's eyes slowly swept over the three people in front of him, and then he asked solemnly, "Last time I left, I ordered a thorough investigation of those suspicious disciples in our sect. I wonder how the progress is going now?"

Bai Qingcang, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped forward and replied, "As you expected, after our secret investigation and screening over this period of time, we have indeed uncovered several traitors lurking within our sect. But don't worry, we have successfully resolved these hidden dangers."

Jiang Feng nodded slightly, acknowledging their work. He continued, "Since that's the case, from today onwards, all disciples within the sect will be summoned. Any disciple willing to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao, never betraying the Qingyun Sect, will receive our unique skill—the Qingyun Jue—and use this opportunity to rapidly enhance their abilities. Furthermore, if any exceptionally gifted disciples are discovered, they must be nurtured and cultivated. Never let such talent go untaught. At the same time, we will dispatch additional personnel to acquire a large quantity of resources needed for cultivation, as well as sophisticated weaponry and equipment. We will also notify the sect's alchemists to immediately begin stockpiling various elixirs. I have several valuable recipes here. If they have any questions during the refining process, they can always come to me for advice!"

At this point, Jiang Feng paused briefly, as if recalling something important. He looked at the three people before him again and solemnly instructed, "Furthermore, my eldest brother currently holds the highest status here. However, this matter remains confidential, save for the demons themselves. While the protective formation my mother left behind may be less formidable due to the erosion of time, it's by no means easily breached. What we lack now is a sufficient supply of immortal stones. Therefore, our top priority is to contact the Tianbao Pavilion as quickly as possible and gather as many as possible. Here are three Soul Pills. Take them, you three, in case of emergencies!" Jiang Feng then pulled out an exquisite jade box from his bosom. Gently opening it, he revealed three Soul Pills radiating a rich spiritual energy.

Bai Qingcang had already entered the middle stage of Great Perfection, his strength was unfathomable; while Xiao Qingfang was in the early stage of Great Perfection, still some distance away from the middle stage. Although these two were gifted and powerful, it was difficult for them to make any breakthroughs in the short term.

Looking at Xiao Qingling again, she is currently at the middle stage of the fusion realm. Even if she can improve, the role she can play in the overall situation is probably extremely limited.

Unexpectedly, the very next day, the first to arrive with the news was Tianbao Pavilion. While they stated that they were unable to assist in person due to various circumstances, they generously pledged to provide six immortal stones. Jiang Feng was overjoyed at this good news. After all, the protective formation guarded by their sect required five immortal stones as energy to operate successfully. Having these six immortal stones not only meant the formation could be successfully activated, but also significantly increased their chances of victory in the upcoming battle!

Soon after, news arrived from the Alchemy Pavilion, declaring Jiang Feng a once-in-a-century alchemy prodigy. Consequently, the Alchemy Pavilion decided to secretly provide him with crucial intelligence and some exceptionally high-quality, rare elixirs. Jiang Feng was naturally overjoyed and gratified by this generous assistance.

However, the Sword King Hall remained silent. Everyone knew that the Tianbao Pavilion and Dan Pavilion's assistance stemmed from Xiao Qingfang's earlier tip about the Enlightenment Tea. When the leaders of the two major sects learned of this news, they erupted in excitement. After all, the Enlightenment Tea was a rare treasure!

The next day in the secret room, Jiang Feng and Bai Qingcang took turns explaining to Xiao Qingfang and Xiao Qingling their experiences of breaking through the second level of Qingyun Jue.

The two girls were immersed in their thoughts in the secret room, while Jiang Feng and the other man came to Bai Qingcang's room.

Jiang Feng asked, "Brother, you said before that to deal with the Blood Demon, we need to go to an ancient secret realm to find a treasure that can restrain him. What is the situation in that secret realm?"

Bai Qingcang said, "I discovered it when I was young, during an outing. The secret realm was hidden under a cliff in a forest, surrounded by powerful restrictions. If it weren't for a chance encounter, it would be difficult to find the entrance.

Once inside the secret realm, space feels disorganized, and sometimes, even a single step forward feels like a thousand miles. It's filled with ancient and bizarre creatures, some shaped like giant pythons, covered in multicolored scales and spewing icy flames; others resemble birds, yet their wings can change the weather and clouds.

There are many treasures in the secret realm, but dangers are also everywhere. There is a valley, the valley is full of treasures, but it is surrounded by deadly illusions. If you are not careful, you will get lost in it and be trapped forever. There is also a river of blood running through the entire secret realm. What flows in the river is not ordinary blood, but blood essence containing powerful resentment, which will corrode the mind of anyone who approaches. It is also said that there is an ancient beast that has been sleeping for many years in the depths, guarding the most precious treasure. That treasure will definitely be able to restrain the blood demon, but after so much time, no one knows if anyone has taken it away. I accidentally entered there that year, and my cultivation was not enough, so I almost died in there. Now that I have cultivated the second level of Qingyun Jue, those illusions should not be scary. You can go and try your luck."

After thoroughly understanding the details of the incident, Jiang Feng solemnly inquired from the person reporting the situation about the exact location of the mysterious place. He mused to himself that the current situation was still unclear, and Bai Qingcang, as the Qingyun Sect's top fighter, had a heavy responsibility and must remain behind to maintain stability. Therefore, he had to embark on this adventure alone.

You know, hidden secrets like these are often filled with unknowns and dangers. Successfully exploring and obtaining the treasures within requires not only exceptional strength but also exceptional luck. If I were fortunate enough to find those legendary treasures, it would undoubtedly bolster the Qingyun Sect's confidence and chances of success in facing future challenges.

The very next day, unexpected news arrived from the Sword King Hall. It was said that there was a lot of mystery behind the incident, and it seemed extremely suspicious. Fortunately, the Sword King Hall had clearly stated that if Jiang Feng encountered an intractable crisis at a critical moment, they would not hesitate to lend a hand and lend a helping hand.

After receiving this promise, Jiang Feng knew the burden on his shoulders had grown even heavier. He clearly understood that every step he took could affect the lives of many of his supporters. Therefore, no matter what, he absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes, and he certainly could not allow those who trusted and supported him to fall into irretrievable danger.
