The middle-aged scholar thought that he had seen through everyone, and everything was under his control. However, he didn't know that his sense of superiority came from Qin Xuan's deliberate display of weakness.

"I'm going in." Qin Xuan cupped his hands towards the middle-aged scholar, who lightly nodded and said, "Go in, be careful."

"I will." Qin Xuan revealed a confident smile. He turned around to face Yan Qingyun and said, "I hope that fellow can cooperate with me. That way, we can both get what we want."

"You should pray they don't break their word." Yan Qingyun's beautiful eyes coldly swept over the crowd. It was obvious that she didn't trust them, but this was all an act.

"Please." Qin Xuan extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation, appearing extremely humble and courteous.

Yan Qingyun glanced at Qin Xuan before walking away. Qin Xuan followed behind her, and under the gazes of the crowd, the two of them entered the cultivation grounds together.

Some people frowned as they watched the two figures disappear. They had an ominous premonition in their hearts. They felt that something was amiss, but they couldn't tell what it was.

"Aren't you worried that he's cheating?" Some people looked at the middle-aged scholar. From the beginning to the end, he felt that what he did was inappropriate.

He was Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan's sudden appearance and hearing about what happened here made him propose such a solution. It seemed to be logical, but it also felt very coincidental. It made people feel like it was a trap that involved all of them.

"Everything is under my control. What he wants is only fate. How could he use deception?" The middle-aged scholar lightly said, "Moreover, so what if he cheated? With so many of us guarding outside, will he be able to escape?"

"Even so, isn't it a bit too risky to let them out of our sight?" That person continued, "The other person who managed to walk out alive must be extremely familiar with the situation inside. If the two of them join forces, they could pose a threat to us."

The middle-aged scholar's pupils slightly contracted when he said this. This was something he did not consider.

But would they join hands?

"I don't think he has the guts." The middle-aged scholar mumbled to himself. A mere Emperor level character was as insignificant as an ant. How could he dare to play tricks in front of so many Emperor level characters? That would be equivalent to courting death.

"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in speculating. Just wait and see." Blue-robed youth suddenly said.

"I guess that's the only way." The others nodded slightly, as if they didn't have any other good idea other than this.

He hoped that everything would proceed as planned.

Qin Xuan and Yan Qingyun entered the Cultivation Secret Realm and were surrounded by a stone wall. Every stone wall was engraved with a variety of strange patterns and was extremely hideous, as if they were the totems of a great demon. They were vivid and lifelike, making people's hearts tremble when they took a glance at them.

"Qingyun, do you know where we are?" Qin Xuan looked at the patterns on the walls and suddenly asked.

As Qin Xuan's voice sounded out, Yan Qingyun's delicate body couldn't help but tremble. Her beautiful eyes looked at Qin Xuan in surprise.

Was his name just now Qingyun?

Seeing that Yan Qingyun didn't say anything, Qin Xuan couldn't help but glance at her. Seeing the way she was looking at him, he realized that he had said something wrong, and his face instantly turned awkward. He had subconsciously shouted the word 'Qingyun' out earlier, without any other thoughts.

"I'm sorry for offending the princess." Qin Xuan immediately apologized and avoided his gaze.

"No problem, I don't mind." Yan Qingyun lowered her head and spoke softly, but a trace of gloom flashed through her eyes. 'So it was just an unintentional words?'

"Princess, you came in here before. Do you know where we are?" Qin Xuan asked again, in order to resolve the awkward atmosphere.

"If I'm not wrong, there are 64 array formations here. Among them, there are 36 large killing arrays, 10 magic arrays, 10 trap array formations, and 8 life array formations."

Yan Qingyun looked around at the stone walls and said, "The patterns on the walls are the key to breaking the formation. If you touch the switch to the killing formation, it will trigger the killing formation, with a slim chance of survival."

"What level are those killing arrays?" Qin Xuan's eyes flashed and a deep meaning flashed across his eyes.

"You want to use the killing array to deal with those people outside?" Yan Qingyun asked.

"That's right. Since they want this opportunity, we should give them a chance." Qin Xuan's expression was cold. The reason why he created the opportunity to be alone with Yan Qingyun was because he wanted to discuss with her how to deal with the people outside.

"However, if we were to activate the killing formation, we might be injured by it." A sliver of worry appeared in Yan Qingyun's eyes as she said, "Those killing formations are extremely strong. With our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle them."

"Is that so?" Qin Xuan frowned. He suddenly thought of something and said, "What if we use an illusion formation?"

"An illusory magic array?" Yan Qingyun was stunned for a moment before realizing what Qin Xuan wanted to do. Her heart trembled slightly. Was he going to fight them alone?

Seeing that Yan Qingyun was silent, Qin Xuan immediately understood and said, "Try to lure them into the illusion formation. I have a way to deal with them then."

Yan Qingyun glanced at Qin Xuan. Seeing that Qin Xuan's eyes were determined and that he had made up his mind, she did not say anything.

"Let me show you around." Yan Qingyun said softly. She walked forward with Qin Xuan following closely behind her. He was extremely cautious. If he made any mistakes here, the consequences would be dire.

Yan Qingyun suddenly stopped after she had taken five steps. She turned her eyes to the side of the stone wall and pointed at it. A ray of light shot out from her finger and entered the tiger pattern on the stone wall.

Qin Xuan looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned. This is …

Soon after, the picture of the giant tiger on the stone wall suddenly became extremely bright, as if it was alive. A faint tiger roar came from the void, and that roar was filled with an ancient feeling, as if a giant tiger phantom appeared in Qin Xuan's mind.

Qin Xuan stared at the pattern on the stone wall. Through the pattern, he could feel a strange power, and the giant tiger phantom that was standing in his mind became more and more corporeal.

The gigantic tiger phantom lowered its head and stared at Qin Xuan. At this moment, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a sense of suffocation, as if his life was in its hands, even if it was just a phantom.

"This is probably a Saint Demon …" Qin Xuan was extremely shocked.

However, it only lasted for an extremely short period of time before the giant tiger phantom disappeared from his mind, as if it had never appeared before.

And at this time, on the ground under their feet, ancient runes began to appear one after another. They shined with a golden light, causing this mystic realm to suddenly become much brighter.

Qin Xuan was surprised to find that the patterns only covered a portion of the area. There was also a portion of the area that was still the original color, it was clearly distinct.

"The area covered by the golden lines is safe, and the other areas are the mechanisms that triggered the killing array. Once you step on it, the killing array will activate." Yan Qingyun reminded him purposely, as if she was afraid that Qin Xuan would make a mistake.

"Understood." Qin Xuan nodded slightly. Suddenly, he looked at Yan Qingyun with a smile and praised her, "Princess is truly knowledgeable. Not only is she well versed in the art of music, she is even familiar with the five elements and eight trigrams. I am truly impressed!"

Hearing Qin Xuan's words of praise, Yan Qingyun's face turned slightly red. She then looked at Qin Xuan and joked, "To be praised by the Nine Domains List's number one person, it is indeed my honor!"

Looking at the smile on Yan Qingyun's face, Qin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Even though Yan Qingyun was a man at the moment, she was still handsome and delicate. That smile of hers was able to move many young girls' hearts.

"Cough cough, let's continue walking forward." Qin Xuan waved his hand, trying to change the topic.

Yan Qingyun's expression turned serious as she continued to walk forward, stepping on the golden light patterns. Not long after, the golden light patterns came to an end and disappeared. This meant that they had reached another crucial point.

After that, Yan Qingyun activated another Demonic Beast image, this time, it was Green Ox.

The green ox phantom also appeared in Qin Xuan and Yan Qingyun's mind. Immediately after, light patterns lit up on the ground and pointed towards the direction the two of them were heading towards.

The two of them followed the path to the end, and nothing happened along the way.

After that, they continued to activate the Kun Peng, thunder dragon, Divine Turtle … After activating a total of eight Demonic Beast images, they were able to travel unhindered. Finally, they arrived at the end of this secret realm.

In front of them, an altar appeared. On top of the altar was burning dark green flames, and around the altar were eight Demonic Beast statues. They were impressively the eight Demonic Beast s that they had activated earlier.

"This altar is..." Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of suspicion. The eight Demonic Beast statues seemed to be protecting this altar.

Yan Qingyun stared at the altar and was silent for a moment before speaking: "I once saw a similar altar in an ancient book. I used a type of bloodline grafting technique and sacrificed the spirit of the Demonic Beast with human flesh. When the spirit of the Demonic Beast reaches a certain level, it will be revived, and at that time, I will be able to inherit the Demonic Beast's spirit."

"Activating the Demonic Beast's bloodline through the human bloodline?" Qin Xuan's expression suddenly changed as his heart surged. This technique sounded like an evil art, why would a holy land like the Xia Wang Jie have such a technique?

Seemingly seeing through Qin Xuan's thoughts, Yan Qingyun gently shook her head and said, "This is not really an evil technique. The so-called evil technique is to forcefully take away another person's bloodline vitality, and this kind of grafting altar is connected to the formation. Only the flesh power of the failed person will flow into the altar, and the successful person will not."0
