Xiao Feng decided to leave the demons and humans in the secret realm for the time being, taking into account the trouble that would result from Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's death.
Inside the secret realm, they were unable to communicate with the outside world, so the news of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's demise would not spread for the time being.
However, Xiao Feng also knew that as the sect leader of Tianyi Sect, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou could not keep this a secret for long; it would eventually get out.
What Xiao Feng needed to do was to delay the spread of this news.
This news must not be allowed to spread too quickly.
Xiao Feng was unaware that in large sects like theirs, any disciple of even moderate importance would leave behind a soul lamp within the sect.
If someone dies unexpectedly, the soul lamp within the sect will be extinguished.
Therefore, the Tianyi Sect already knew about the death of their sect leader, Xuanyuan Shumou.
At this time, Xiao Feng and his companions had not yet left the secret realm, so they were unaware of this matter.
As soon as Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei left the secret realm, they heard about the fall of Xuan Yuan Shumou in a nearby city.
They then learned that the matter had already become widely known.
The two of them didn't even need to make any special inquiries. They were simply having tea at a teahouse when they heard a demon storyteller vividly recounting the story of Xuanyuan Shumou's demise.
Even though the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is still closed and the situation inside is unlikely to be revealed, there are already various rumors circulating outside about the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were quite nervous when they first heard about it, but later they found that everyone was discussing it, and there were different opinions about who killed Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.
The two of them were slightly relieved.
Afterwards, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei secretly inquired why the news of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's death spread so quickly.
That's when I learned about the Soul Lamp.
"We were careless. Xuan Yuan Shu Mou has been dead for so long. If the Tianyi Sect already knows, they have probably already sent people to the Demon Realm. We must be careful."
After confirming the information, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei immediately found a secluded place to discuss what to do next.
Wuxia is currently not released from Xiao Feng's contract space.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei changed their appearances again, walking in the demon realm with unfamiliar faces, and for the time being, no one discovered their true identities.
Their disguise can hold out for a while, but it's not a long-term solution.
However, Xiao Feng was unaware that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had died in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, so the news came out two months later than Xiao Feng had expected.
The reason why the news spread so widely in the demon realm was that Xuanyuan Shumou died in the demon realm, and specifically in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
Some of the disciples and elders from the Tianyi Sect that Xuanyuan Shumou brought with him also remained in the Demon Realm.
It was precisely because they were making such a big fuss about finding the murderer that they caused such a commotion.
As for the actions taken by the Tianyi Sect in response to the fall of Xuanyuan Shumou, they only began when Xiao Feng and his group came out of the Ice and Snow World and were preparing to leave the secret realm.
At that time, Xuan Yuanjian, the former young sect leader, knelt down in anguish before the ancestor.
He was already a cripple, and he knew that he could no longer continue to serve as the young sect leader.
If Xuanyuan Shumou hadn't gotten into trouble, he, as the sect leader's son, would still be living a comfortable life.
Even though he had become a cripple.
But unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Shumou died, and he died to avenge him.
Now, Xuanyuan Jian is kneeling and crying before the patriarch, not only because he has lost his father, but also because he has lost the powerful backer who allowed him to act recklessly in the Tianyi Sect.
Now he can only beg his ancestor to avenge his father.
However, Xuanyuan Jian also had some understanding of his ancestor.
Although his father was his bloodline, a cultivator at the level of the ancestor didn't care about bloodline inheritance. What mattered was whether he could break through the final barrier of his cultivation and achieve great success.
Xuanyuan Jian was not 100% certain that the ancestor would intervene, but at this moment, he had no other choice but to kneel before the ancestor and kowtow.
Facing Xuanyuan Jian, who was crying and pleading in front of him, the ancestor merely glanced at him indifferently and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh in his heart.
"As expected of the chosen one, this is the epitome of destiny. That kid named Xiao Feng must have obtained a great opportunity, otherwise Shu Mou wouldn't have died so easily."
The old patriarch was determined to have Xiao Feng, and now that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, who could work for him, had fallen, it seemed that this time, he would personally test Xiao Feng.
Just as Xuanyuan Jian had guessed, the ancestor's reaction to Xuanyuan Shumou's demise was simply that he had lost someone to do things for him.
He did not show any extra emotional fluctuations because he was his bloodline descendant.
The reason he is willing to personally test Xiao Feng is because he is very curious about Xiao Feng's affairs, not to avenge Xuan Yuan Shu.
"Get up. I already know about your father's situation. Since your father is my bloodline, I will not let him die in the demon realm in such an unclear way."
“I will avenge your father myself. Your injuries have just healed a little, so don’t get angry or overthink things during this time. Just stay in Tianyi Sect and continue to recuperate. Don’t let your father’s efforts go to waste.”
Others have many speculations about the death of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, but in the old ancestor's opinion, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's death could only be because of Xiao Feng, and could never have been killed by anyone else.
Because Xuanyuan Shumou died in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, and was killed by the Demon Emperor's clone, he didn't leave behind many fragments of memories.
But among those fragments of memory were images of Xiao Feng, as well as scenes of the space where the Demon Emperor's avatar was sealed.
In the old ancestor's view, it's possible that Xiao Feng obtained some opportunity and tricked Xuan Yuan Shu Mou into that mysterious space, whereupon the being within that space took Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's life.
In fact, Xuanyuan Shumou was just unlucky.
Xiao Feng was unaware that the patriarch of the Tianyi Sect was coming to cause him trouble.
After leaving the teahouse, he and Zhao Yuwei first found an inn to stay at.
The two were also thinking about where to go next.
"The news of the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm hasn't spread yet, so we can stay in the Demon Realm for now. After all, the Demon Realm is very large. Although we have enemies, as long as we hide in time, it won't be easy for them to find us."
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Zhao Yuwei said, "This method is feasible. Then we should leave this city as soon as possible. Moreover, we should keep our identities hidden and not let too many demons know our true identities."
The best way would be for them to find a suitable valley and then set up an array outside the valley so that no one could find their trace.
