Upon hearing Yuan Shifang's address to Yuan Zhexian, Kong Ji's beautiful eyes widened as she curiously examined Yuan Zhexian.

Then, she bowed slightly forward and said politely, "Kong Ji greets Yuan Shenzi."

Upon seeing this, Yuan Zhexian smiled and nodded, replying, "Greetings, Fairy Kong Ji."

Just then, Yuan Zhexian suddenly felt a familiar energy emanating from Kong Ji.

He was all too familiar with this energy; it originated from the ancient demon lord, Kong Miao'er.

Yuan Zhexian pondered to himself, could it be that Kong Miao'er has some kind of connection with the Phoenix Clan?

Then, Yuan Zhexian continued, "I wonder, Fairy Kong Ji, why are you fighting and killing each other here?"

Just then, Kong Ji suddenly noticed that Yuan Shifang and the other ten people she had seen at the entrance of the secret realm were all here safely!

Her eyes widened in astonishment as she exclaimed, "Primordial Spirit Child, not a single one of you perished on the way here!"

"And judging from your appearance, you are almost completely unharmed, which is truly incredible!"

Yuan Zhexian was equally surprised to hear Kong Ji's words. He asked in confusion, "Fairy Kong Ji, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing this, Kong Ji was even more surprised. She said incredulously again, "Don't you know?"

Yuan Zhexian and the others looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then shook their heads, indicating that they knew nothing about it.

Seeing this, Kong Ji took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before explaining, "According to those who have already arrived here, there are countless paths leading here, but every single one is extremely dangerous."

She paused briefly, then continued, "These paths are either filled with deceptive illusions, complex formations, or powerful restrictions."

"In short, every path has different obstacles waiting for people to overcome."

"Only three out of ten people survive to get here!"

Kong Ji's voice was somewhat low, revealing a hint of sorrow and helplessness.

"Even those who came with my Phoenix Clan all perished on that path, and now I'm all alone..."
