Possessed by my father, I was reborn and became the supreme ruler.

At this moment, Ye Yunjian suddenly heard Elder Long's voice.

“Master, I was just talking to my disdainful grandson and I discovered a secret. This secret is related to your sect’s secret realm. I will tell you about it after we return to the Xuanhuo Cave.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunjian nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Sister, Senior Brothers, and Junior Sister, it's getting late. Let's head back to the sect. I don't have a grandson like that."

In the days that followed, Ye Yunjian was cautious and did not give Situ Jiuxiao any leverage over him. And since the appearance of the Xuanhuo True Dragon, Situ Jiuxiao had not sought out Ye Yunjian alone again, taking no action other than imparting his cultivation techniques.

The legend of the World-Destroying Spirit King was no longer mentioned and became a taboo topic within the sect.

As for Si Tianxiang, Wei Wuji, and the others, they all lowered their heads and left as soon as they saw Ye Yunjian.

On the contrary, Xiao Qingshuang and the other senior brothers took extra care of Ye Yunjian, making the days before the sect's small secret realm opened feel warm and natural.

Time flies, and the day for the opening of the sect's small secret realm has arrived in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the sect's grand formation was being activated in the square in front of the Xuanhuo Hall.

With Situ Jiuxiao suppressing the rebellion from his position as sect leader, Nie Hanshan activated his cultivation technique, and the space of the small secret realm finally slowly rose in the center of the square.

The inner sect was led by Nie Hanshan and Meng Chuxi, while the outer sect included Xiao Qingshuang, Song Lan, Shen Jinyan, Ye Yunjian, and Bai Yueling.

Si Tianxiang, Wei Wuji, and other elders and disciples were also selected. It can be said that apart from the sect leader guarding the formation, the Xuanhuo Sect has sent out all its best members this time.

Despite feeling somewhat uneasy, Ye Yunjian followed the others into the entrance of the small secret realm.

Shortly after everyone stepped into the entrance of the small secret realm, a violent tremor suddenly occurred.

The entire plaza began to distort, and black cracks spread out like a spider web. A suffocatingly terrifying aura surged out from the cracks, causing everyone present to change their expressions drastically.

"What's going on?!" Bai Yueling exclaimed in shock, her face filled with fear. She gripped Xiao Qingshuang's clothes tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Xiao Qingshuang's brows furrowed tightly, and Nie Hanshan's expression turned solemn as he sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the secret realm.

He made a decisive move and said in a deep voice, "Everyone back off! Something's wrong!" As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm, each step firm and steady.

At the entrance to the secret realm, spatial distortion cracks continued to spread, black fissures spreading outwards like a spider web, and a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine surged from the cracks.

Everyone tensed up, their faces showing fear.

"What happened?!" Bai Yueling gripped Xiao Qingshuang's clothes tightly, her voice trembling, her face full of panic.

Xiao Qingshuang frowned, a hint of wariness in her eyes. She turned to look at Nie Hanshan, awaiting his instructions.

Nie Hanshan remained calm and composed, his face grave. He stroked his beard and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, step back! Something's wrong!"

However, the little secret realm was no longer peaceful at this point.

Without hesitation, Nie Hanshan took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm, each step firm and steady.

Ye Yunjian followed closely behind, his long sword radiating a blazing light, his eyes flashing with unwavering determination.

"Everyone keep up, don't fall behind!" Nie Hanshan's voice rang in everyone's ears, carrying an undeniable authority.

Bai Yueling and Xiao Qingshuang exchanged a glance and quickly followed, while Wei Wuji, harboring resentment, followed at the back of the group.

The group cautiously stepped into the secret realm, surrounded by a rich and mysterious aura, as if they had entered another world.

The light was dim, with only faint beams of light shining through the distant stone walls, giving off an air of unknown fear.

The air was humid and heavy, carrying a faint smell of blood, which made people feel tense involuntarily.

As soon as they entered the secret realm, everyone felt the atmosphere around them becoming increasingly eerie.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead, followed by a group of ferocious beasts rushing out of the darkness and charging straight towards the group.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Wuji and Si Tianxiang were afraid and wanted to retreat, but they accidentally bumped into Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian frowned and glared at Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji felt resentment and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Watch out, everyone! The monster is coming!" Nie Hanshan shouted a warning, and everyone drew their weapons, ready to fight.

Xiao Qingshuang and Bai Yueling worked together seamlessly and responded quickly, while other disciples also joined the battle, creating chaos on the scene.

The ferocity of the monster was beyond imagination; its claws and teeth gleamed coldly, and it moved with lightning speed.

After a period of diligent cultivation, with the help of Elder Long, Ye Yunjian had reached the Profound Sword Realm. At this moment, the longsword in his hand danced like a dragon, slaying one demonic beast after another.

His gaze never left Bai Yueling, constantly watching over her safety.

"Bai Yueling, be careful!" Ye Yunjian shouted, and his sword flashed out, cleaving a monster that was lunging at Bai Yueling in two.

Bai Yueling's face turned pale.

"Ye Yunjian, you're being too arrogant!" Wei Wuji, burning with jealousy, couldn't help but provoke him.

However, Ye Yunjian ignored him, only giving him a cold glance before continuing his fierce battle with the demonic beast.

Amidst the turbulent winds and clouds, countless eerie, shadowy beasts stealthily approached from the shadows, launching a surprise attack on Bai Yueling.

Ye Yunjian's eyes were like torches as he swung his longsword and charged towards Bai Yueling, blocking the attacking demonic beast.

"Junior Sister, retreat quickly!" Ye Yunjian shouted loudly. Bai Yueling happened to hear it and managed to retreat, dodging the sneak attack.

Just then, a black shadow silently approached from the darkness, closing in on Bai Yueling without a sound.

Ye Yunjian's heart tightened, and he swung his long sword like lightning to block the dark figure.

"Junior Sister, step back quickly!" Ye Yunjian's voice was particularly clear amidst the chaos. Upon hearing this, Bai Yueling quickly retreated, avoiding the danger.

Bai Yueling's eyes were filled with admiration and gratitude. She gripped the longsword tightly, her heart overflowing with trust in Ye Yunjian.

Ye Yunjian felt somewhat relieved.

Suddenly, Ye Yunjian sensed an unprecedented crisis.

As the number and strength of the surrounding monsters increased, his swordsmanship suddenly became even more ferocious. He unleashed a newly learned ultimate technique—"Fire Dragon Breaks Through the Sky"—where blazing flames accompanied by sword light slayed several powerful monsters in one fell swoop.

The other disciples around him looked on with admiration, while Wei Wuji gritted his teeth in jealousy, his eyes flashing with a complex expression.

"Fourth Junior Brother, well done!" Xiao Qingshuang exclaimed in praise, and Bai Yueling also showed an expression of admiration.

However, at that moment, a powerful suction force suddenly came from the depths of the secret realm, like an invisible giant hand attacking everyone.
