Jiang Lingyue carefully recalled the rumors she had heard, and the various deeds of Emperor Xuanzong of Qing kept emerging in her mind.

Qingxuan Sect is located in the west of Tianfeng State, not far from Qingyang State. He is good at talismans, arrays and Qimen Dunjia. He is the youngest junior brother of the sect leader and an even more remarkable figure.

It is said that this youngest elder in the sect is not only gifted and intelligent, but also has a pair of natural eyes. He is proficient in yin and yang and knows the secrets of ghosts and gods. His name is Fang Chengyu.

It is said that this Elder Fang has a very bad temper and never accepts any disciples, but he loves to travel around and takes it as his mission to exorcise demons and defend the righteous path.

It is not known whether it was because he disliked constraints and acted unrestrainedly, or because he was bloodthirsty and warmongering, which made people stay away from him. The followers of Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty both respected and feared him.

"So you are Elder Fang from the Qingxuan Sect!" Jiang Lingyue shrank her neck, "Ahem, I'm sorry for offending you just now. Please don't bear a grudge against me, old man."

Fang Chengyu turned his head and saw her cowardly look. He felt that she seemed to be even more afraid of him. Could it be that his smile just now was not sincere enough?

So, he looked at her intently, with a bigger smile on his face, "Sister, don't worry, I'm not angry."

Jiang Lingyue raised her eyes, only to see his strange eyes staring at her sinisterly with a weird smile on his face. She felt a chill in her heart, it was over, she was being completely targeted.

"Elder Fang, you are embarrassing me. How dare I ask you to call me sister?" Jiang Lingyue smiled obediently and modestly, "Just call me Xiaoyue."

"I just like to call you sister." Fang Chengyu restrained his smile, "Do you think I'm too old?"

"Of course not." Looking at his childish and handsome face, Jiang Lingyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You can call me whatever you want."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

When they heard their uncle-master calling the young girl "sister", Emperor Xuanzong of Qing and his entourage, who had just arrived, were stunned.

They knew that their great-uncle-master was eccentric, but they didn't expect that he was becoming even more insane.

Jiang Lingyue turned her head and looked at the tall and thin woman who was leading the group and had a pretty face, and activated her eyes of identification.

[126 years old, Xuan-level upper-grade wood spirit root, late foundation-building cultivation. Favorability towards the host: 0. ]

She smiled at him and said, "I am Jiang Lingyue, the ninth princess of Tianfeng Kingdom. What is your name, fellow Taoist?"

"Hello, Your Highness. My name is Lan Yingqiu, and I'm an inner sect disciple of the Qingxuan Sect." The tall and thin woman responded with a bow.

Jiang Lingyue nodded and said, "Elder Fang, Fellow Daoist Lan, you should deal with those sect trialists who have been poisoned first! I have to go back to find my companions, so I'll take my leave now."

As she was about to leave, someone grabbed her sleeve.

She turned to look at Fang Chengyu's hand holding her sleeve, her eyes full of confusion, "Elder Fang, is there anything else?"

Fang Chengyu took out a sound transmission jade slip from his arms and handed it to her, "Sister, please accept this. Remember to call me if you have anything to do. You can also find me if you have nothing to do."

Jiang Lingyue was stunned for a moment, then accepted the sound transmission jade slip and said, "Thank you!"

With such a big man as a rescuer, her life would have an extra layer of protection, so she would not miss it.

After saying goodbye to everyone, she returned to the camp by the stream.

"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, you are finally back." Lin Lige greeted him anxiously. "Are you okay?"

Hearing the voice, Murong Bing also ran over from not far away, "Ninth Prince, we didn't see you when we woke up, and we were looking for you everywhere!"

"Sorry for making you worry."

Jiang Lingyue told them about her encounter with Fang Chengyu and the sect's trial participants being poisoned, and took out the sound transmission jade slip.

"I didn't expect that there would be an evil sect intervening in the secret realm." Murong Bing looked solemn. "We need to be more careful in the future."

"Fortunately, Elder Fang is here, otherwise things would have gotten out of control." Lin Lige patted her chest, looking frightened.

Jiang Lingyue looked at the sky and found that it was still early for dawn, so she decided to continue resting and set out for the center of the trial ground tomorrow.

The three of them packed up briefly and went into the tent to rest.

At night, Jiang Lingyue lay in the tent, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She couldn't help but take out the sound transmission jade slip Fang Chengyu gave her, struggling with whether to send him a message.

Finally, she couldn't resist her curiosity and sent a message to Fang Chengyu. However, after waiting for a long time, she didn't receive a reply.

Just when she thought Fang Chengyu would ignore her, the jade slip suddenly lit up. Jiang Lingyue couldn't wait to pick up the jade slip and heard Fang Chengyu's voice.

"Sister, it's so late yet you're still awake?" There was a hint of joy in his voice.

Jiang Lingyue's face instantly turned red, and she stammered in response: "Well... I can't sleep. How about you?"

"Me too." Fang Chengyu's voice sounded inexplicably excited. "Sister, are you worried about something?"

Jiang Lingyue hesitated for a moment, inquired about the situation of the sect's trial-taker who was poisoned, and expressed her concerns about the evil sect in the secret realm.

After listening to her, Fang Chengyu told her that the sect's trialists who were poisoned by the Gu were temporarily stable, and that he would handle the evil sect himself, so she didn't need to worry.

After chatting with him for a while, Jiang Lingyue felt relieved. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Elder Fang."

Afterwards, Jiang Lingyue put down the jade slip and fell into a tired sleep.

The next morning, just as the sun rose, the three packed their bags and continued their adventure into the depths of the secret realm.

As they continued on their way, they entered a dense mountainous area. The mountain road was rugged and winding, and seemed to have no end.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at a pine forest halfway up the mountain.

Here, Jiang Lingyue accidentally discovered some precious spiritual medicines - flesh-eating Gu buds and strange wood sand. So the three decided to stop, take a rest, and collect some spiritual medicines by the way.

Time passed quickly, and after about an hour, they had collected enough spiritual herbs.

Just as they were about to get up and leave, they suddenly saw eight or nine figures walking towards them.

Upon closer inspection, there were actually quite a few familiar faces among them. They turned out to be some trial participants from Fengwu Academy.

These trial participants looked exhausted. They also noticed Jiang Lingyue and the others. After looking at each other, they all looked a little surprised. Obviously, no one expected to meet here.

For a moment, the atmosphere became a little subtle.
