My brother is Shi Hao

"Just now, this old man received news," Elder Wang's resonant voice echoed throughout the square, and the originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly stagnated. "In seven days, a grand competition between righteous sects will be held at the Yunxiao Sword Sect!"

There was a commotion among the crowd. The sect competition was a grand event for the righteous path. It was not only a stage for young disciples from various sects to demonstrate their strength, but also an important event that would determine the pattern of the righteous path in the next hundred years.

"It seems we need to intensify our training." Shi Hao rubbed his hands, eager to try.

Shi Yi nodded slightly, his eyes deep, "This competition is not only a chance to show our strength, but also a chance to find out the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King."

Zhao Linger's beautiful eyes lit up, "You mean, they might have tampered with the competition?"

"The demonic sect has suffered heavy losses and will certainly not give up," Shi Yi said firmly. "The sect competition brings together the elites of the righteous sect. This is the perfect opportunity for them to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation."

Elder Wang's voice rang out again, "For this competition, I have decided to send two young warriors, Shi Yi and Shi Hao, to represent the alliance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, thunderous applause broke out in the square, and everyone was full of confidence in the strength of Shi Yi and Shi Hao.

Over the next few days, Shi Yi and Shi Hao devoted themselves to training, preparing for the upcoming competition. Shi Yi activated his double pupils, gaining insight into the fundamental principles of heaven and earth, and constantly improving his magical powers; while Shi Hao activated the power of the Supreme Bone, his physical strength increasing by leaps and bounds, becoming unstoppable.

Besides their training, they also did not forget to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King. Shi Yi's double pupils gave him the ability to see into the past and the future. He carefully searched for any clues and finally found a clue in a hidden cave.

"There's a lingering aura of Blood Demonic Power here," Shi Yi frowned, "it seems the Blood Demon Lord appeared here not long ago."

Shi Hao looked around and found some strange symbols carved on the stone wall. "These symbols... seem to have been seen somewhere..."

"This is the communication symbol often used by the Poison King!" Zhao Linger exclaimed, "Could it be..."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts. They carefully studied the symbols and finally deciphered their meaning.

"Not good!" Shi Yi's face suddenly changed, "They...they actually..."

"They're actually planning to release the Poison King's 'Power-Destroying Powder' at the sect competition!" Shi Yi gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage. This poison is incredibly toxic; once inhaled, all one's power will gradually dissipate, ultimately rendering one crippled.

"These mad demons!" Shi Hao roared, punching the stone wall, causing the solid rock to instantly crumble. They actually wanted to use such despicable means to destroy the entire righteous path!

"We must stop them!" Zhao Linger's face was pale, but her eyes flashed with determination. "We must not let them succeed!"

"But we only have these vague clues now," Shi Hao said worriedly, "How can we convince other sects to trust us?"

"We need solid evidence," Shi Yi analyzed calmly, "Only by letting them see the conspiracy of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King with their own eyes can we convince them."

Time is running out, so Shi Yi and Shi Hao decide to split up. Shi Yi uses his double pupils' special ability to continue tracking the Blood Demon Lord's whereabouts and find more details about their plan, while Shi Hao is responsible for collecting evidence of the Poison King's development of the "Power-Transforming Powder" and the specific method they plan to use to release the poison at the competition.

In order not to alert the enemy, they decided not to tell Elder Wang or the other sects about this matter for the time being. After all, this matter was of great importance, and if it were leaked, it would likely cause panic and disrupt their plans.

"Ling'er, this operation is very dangerous," Shi Yi held Zhao Ling'er's hand, his eyes full of worry, "Do you really want to take this risk with us?"

"I've made up my mind," Zhao Linger said with a firm look in her eyes, "I will never let you face danger alone!"

Shi Hao patted Shi Yi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will protect her."

They packed their bags and prepared to leave. At this moment, an old and majestic voice sounded behind them:

"Where are you going?"

Shi Yi and Shi Hao were startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Elder Wang standing at the cave entrance, staring at them with piercing eyes...

Elder Wang's sharp gaze swept across the three people, finally landing on Shi Yi and Shi Hao. He said in a serious tone, "Tell me, have you discovered anything?"

Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance. Elder Wang was a truly powerful figure; how could their actions have slipped past his gaze? Shi Yi took a deep breath and revealed everything they had discovered about the conspiracy between the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King.

After listening to Shi Yi's story, Elder Wang frowned, his expression becoming extremely solemn. He knew that Shi Yi and Shi Hao wouldn't joke about such a thing, and the seriousness of this matter was far beyond his imagination. After pondering for a moment, Elder Wang slowly spoke: "This matter is of no small importance. What are you going to do?"

"We need solid evidence to convince the other sects." Shi Yi said firmly, "We would like to ask Elder Wang for help to secretly investigate this matter."

Elder Wang nodded, a glint of appreciation in his eyes. "Alright, leave this matter to me. Don't worry, I will use all my strength to find out the truth!"

Zhao Linger also stepped forward and said, "Elder Wang, my network of contacts might be able to help."

Elder Wang looked at the three young men with satisfaction, his heart filled with emotion. He knew the danger of this operation, but he also understood that these three young men shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the righteous path.

With the help of Elder Wang, Shi Yi and Shi Hao's investigation progressed smoothly. Elder Wang used his influence within the Righteous Alliance to secretly gather intelligence on the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King. Zhao Linger, using her extensive network of contacts, gathered extensive information on the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King's movements.

As time passed, the sect competition drew closer. With the help of Elder Wang and Zhao Linger, Shi Yi and Shi Hao had already grasped part of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King's plan and found a way for them to release the "Power-Transforming Powder" during the competition.

Just as they were about to make all the evidence public, a mysterious letter arrived in Shi Yi's hands. The letter was unsigned, with only one sentence: "Lost Secret Realm, Mystery of Life and Death."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao read the letter, filled with confusion and unease. The Lost Secret Realm is a legendary place said to hold both immense treasures and dangers, yet no one has ever truly found it. What connection does this letter have to the upcoming sect competition? Could the conspiracy of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King be connected to the Lost Secret Realm?

"It seems that this sect competition..." Shi Yi clenched the letter in his hand, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao know that this sect competition is not only a test of strength, but also a battle for the survival of the Righteous Alliance. The conspiracy of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King must be stopped, and this mysterious letter may be the key to uncovering the truth.

"Lost Secret Realm..." Shi Hao chewed over these words, his eyes flashing with thought. "Brother, do you think this might be a smokescreen deliberately released by the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King to divert our attention?"

Shi Yi shook his head and pondered, "It doesn't seem like it. This letter came strangely, and it didn't mention the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King at all. Instead, it mentioned the Lost Secret Realm. There must be some connection between them."

"Could it be that the goal of the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King is not to release the 'Power-Destroying Powder' during the competition, but to use the opportunity of the competition to enter the Lost Secret Realm?" Zhao Linger made a bold guess.

Shi Yi's eyes flashed. Zhao Linger's guess was not unreasonable. The Lost Secret Realm was a legendary place that no one had ever truly found. If the Blood Demon Lord and the Poison King truly possessed clues to enter the secret realm, then their purpose was definitely extraordinary.

"No matter what, we can't let our guard down." Shi Yi said firmly, "Hao'er, Ling'er, we must seize the time to practice and improve our strength. As for Elder Wang, I will explain the situation to him and ask him to pay more attention."

Shi Hao and Zhao Linger nodded seriously. They knew that a great battle was about to begin, and they were already prepared.

Three days later, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. The square of the Righteous Alliance was filled with colorful flags and a bustling crowd. Disciples from various sects, dressed in uniform, gathered there, each one brimming with energy and eager to showcase their skills in the upcoming sect competition.

"Boom!"

With the ringing of a resounding bell, the sect competition...
