Xiang Chengyuan chatted with Song Luo for a long time, mostly inquiring about Song's Trading Company. However, Song Luo had never been involved in Song's Trading Company, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find out anything.
What Song Luo found interesting was that he didn't try to hide his voice, yet Xiang Chengyuan didn't recognize him. Back in Tianyuan Sect, Xiang Chengyuan had been very friendly towards him.
It can only be said that Xiang Chengyuan's kindness to him in the past was all an act. He had felt this way before, but back then everyone slandered and bullied him. Even if Xiang Chengyuan didn't really care, he still improved his life to some extent.
He knew that Xiang Chengyuan had ulterior motives, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he was grateful, at least for letting him live.
He used to be indifferent to life and death, but after meeting his mother, he was especially grateful that he hadn't done anything foolish before.
"They've arrived." Sensing something, Song Luo bowed to Xiang Chengyuan as she looked at the strange phenomenon not far away. "Senior Brother Xiang, I'll head back now."
Xiang Chengyuan was also eager to reunite with his sect members. His father had managed to send Qin Xiuyang away, and he couldn't let anything go wrong on this mission.
Song Xia knew what was inside the secret realm, so he immediately led Song Luo and the others inside. Seeing this, people from other forces also began to act and followed closely behind.
Shortly after they went inside, Qin Xiuyang finally arrived at the place.
After finishing the other matter assigned by the sect, he was supposed to return to the sect, but on the way back, he felt a vague sense of unease.
Following this intuition, he rushed to the North Sea Ice Field.
The entrance to the secret realm was still open, and Qin Xiuyang rushed in without thinking much.
"This is..." As soon as Song Luo entered, he felt a very familiar aura.
The white tiger was also extremely excited: "This was left behind by Lord Qilin!"
“That’s right.” Song Xia nodded. “So we must bring this secret realm back with us; it will definitely be useful to the little Qilin.”
As she spoke, a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "If the human race gets hold of it, who knows what they might use it to force the little Qilin to do in the future."
Her words strengthened the resolve of the demon race; no matter the cost, they absolutely could not afford to make a mistake.
"This way." Relying on the memories in her mind, Song Xia led the group forward, and no one in the group questioned her.
On the other side, Xiang Chengyuan looked at the various rare and precious materials in the secret realm and laughed excitedly. His father's decision this time was indeed correct. If Qin Xiuyang had really come, wouldn't all these rare and precious materials have benefited Jianfeng again?
As for Qin Xiuyang, his unease grew stronger. He had a premonition that if he didn't hurry, he would lose something very important.
But what exactly was it? This was the first time he had ever felt this panicked.
So he ignored the rare and precious materials readily available to him and followed his intuition in one direction.
"This should be it." Before long, Song Xia and his group discovered a cave with a pool of milky white spiritual liquid inside. Around the liquid were rare spiritual flowers and herbs.
The stones in the cave are also boundary stones, which are extremely rare in the outside world. Normally, humans use boundary stones to forge weapons. Weapons with boundary stones added to them usually have the effect of breaking through space. Qin Taiming's natal sword was forged with a large amount of boundary stones. The sword he used to become famous for challenging opponents of higher levels created a spatial rift, splitting the cultivator's body and soul in two. Even secret techniques could not save him.
"With so many boundary stones, I would believe it if they were used to create a world." Bai Hu's unintentional words reminded Song Xia of the scene when Qin Xiuyang ascended to heaven.
When Qin Xiuyang ascended to heaven, he not only brought Qin Taiming with him, but also two confidantes and several spirit beasts. They did not meet the standards for ascension, but they were able to ascend to the upper realm with Qin Taiming, presumably because of this boundary stone.
"This should be the place where Lord Qilin used to live. How can we take this secret realm away?"
Song Xia went directly into the pool to explore: "Most secret realms have secret treasures. As long as we obtain the secret treasures, we can control the entire secret realm."
She smiled and said, "This should be it."
In his memory, Qin Xiuyang obtained the secret treasure because he accidentally fell into the spirit pool.
Baihu and Song Luo were overjoyed, but also somewhat incredulous that they had found it so easily.
However, they were too happy too soon, because Qin Xiuyang had already found the place and struck it down with his sword energy the moment Song Xia raised the treasure.
"who?"
The white tiger was furious, and Song Luo immediately launched an attack. He would never let anyone who dared to attack his mother get away with it.
Upon seeing who it was, he sneered, "The only disciple of the dignified Sword Master would resort to such underhanded tactics as sneak attacks?"
Qin Xiuyang frowned slightly, clearly annoyed as this was the first time someone had spoken to him like that.
“The Qingyang Continent has no owner for its spiritual treasures; they are all acquired by the capable.”
"What a fine saying, 'The capable shall prevail.' No wonder the Tianyuan Sect has been able to hold onto its position as the number one sect in the world. It turns out that this position was obtained through robbery." Song Xia mocked loudly, which aroused Qin Xiuyang's murderous intent.
"You fiends, stop talking nonsense. This is not something you should take." He had supernatural powers and could easily see through Song Xia and Bai Hu's disguises. However, Song Luo, because he had half human blood and was wearing a magic weapon that Song Xia had given him before, could not be identified.
He even criticized Song Luo for colluding with Song Xia and the others: "I pity your extraordinary talent. If you repent and stop associating with demons, I can petition the sect to take you in."
Song Luo laughed in anger: "Do I need your pity? Your Tianyuan Sect is full of a rabble of despicable people. Who cares about your broken sect?"
Qin Xiuyang was enraged again: "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
"Roar~" Bai Xiao roared, "Are all humans this arrogant? Boy, you can talk after you get out of my clutches."
Qin Xiuyang's expression changed. He hadn't expected that this was actually a white tiger at the Nascent Soul stage.
However, he was not afraid, after all, this was not the first time he had challenged a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Bai Xiao used a stalling tactic, and Song Xia did not intervene at this time. Her most important task now was to make the treasure recognize its owner, so as not to create any accidents for Qin Xiuyang. Bai Xiao only needed to stall Qin Xiuyang.
Seeing her go to search for the secret treasure again, Qin Xiuyang was furious and even more anxious. But no matter how powerful he was, Bai Xiao was not to be trifled with, not to mention that Bai Xiao was a level higher than him.
Song Xia found the treasure and did not hesitate. She immediately used her blood to recognize it as her own. Perhaps it was because of the little Qilin's previous closeness to her that the recognition process went very smoothly.
In that instant, Qin Xiuyang felt a sudden emptiness in his heart, a sense of helplessness.
