Chu Zhiyuan successfully cultivates a new secret technique, using it to remove the effects of the Forget Love Pill from a captive. The captive reveals himself to be Song Wantao, a young prodigy from Forget Sorrow Valley, who aims to achieve the legendary Immortal Evil Emperor realm with the help of a Divine Artifact, a feat previously thought impossible after the fall of the Divine Race.

Zhu Yuxia turned her head to look at the women: "Have you realized the means of the Evil Demon? It doesn’t regard human life as anything, not hesitating to stir up a bloody storm and destroy the Sect with just a thought!"

"Truly, everyone must exterminate the Evil Demon!" Shen Hanyue said hatefully.

Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly.

Meng Yunyin said: "Grandmaster, this is troublesome. The Evil God can hide its aura!"

Sun Jing nodded heavily.

The threat and danger in this are obvious at a thought, making one’s skin crawl.

Thinking of an Evil God lurking at any time, suddenly making a move, almost no one could withstand it.

It all depends on his mood. Once he acts, the disciples of Profound Yin Palace almost have no chance of survival.

Xiao Ruoling softly said: "Senior Sister, he shouldn’t dare to come here, otherwise, why would he send two subordinates over instead of coming himself to have a look?"

Meng Yunyin looked at Zhu Yuxia: "Is he that cautious?"

Zhu Yuxia’s eyes sparkled like a treasure bead, softly said: "Why hasn’t Song Wantao come? Is it because he’s afraid?"

The middle-aged man stared straight at her, slowly said: "Grandmaster Song is in seclusion training, having no time for other concerns."

"How long will he be in seclusion?" Zhu Yuxia asked: "How long has he been in seclusion?"

The middle-aged man said: "Grandmaster has been in seclusion for three years and will continue to be in seclusion."

"Don’t know when he’ll come out?"

"Don’t know."

The women all heaved a sigh of relief.

At least there’s no deadly threat right now, ensuring temporary safety.

He might stay in seclusion for over ten or even decades, by then, we could become Spirit Venerables and won’t be afraid anymore.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If you all fall, will he emerge from seclusion?"

Zhu Yuxia said: "If you don’t go back, will Song Wantao emerge from seclusion to search?"

"He won’t." The middle-aged man said: "Grandmaster will dispatch other experts to investigate, they should already be on the way, ready to arrive."

"How many will come?" Zhu Yuxia asked.

The middle-aged man said: "Since we two have fallen, they should send four. If these four are lost, they’ll send eight more until they find out what happened."

Zhu Yuxia snorted: "Seems like Song Wantao is quite persistent."

"Obsessive..." Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Obsessiveness is a double-edged sword.

On one hand, it provides a frenzy of cultivation motivation, being extremely harsh on oneself, fully stimulating one’s potential.

On the other hand, obsessiveness often defies reason, doing some unreasonable things, often driven by obsession.

Zhu Yuxia said: "Knowing we’ve discovered his conspiracy, what will he do?"

"Grandmaster would preemptively strike, urging Li Huo Palace to wage war with you again."

"Hmph, do we and Li Huo Palace fight on a whim? Ridiculous!"

"Grandmaster says you Profound Yin Palace and Li Huo Palace are like water and fire, with a little guidance, you could fight to the death."

"Arrogant!" Zhu Yuxia sneered coldly.

She turned to look at Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng’s face was gloomy, silent.

Zhu Yuxia frowned at her.

Lu Qingfeng shook her head, unable to disagree.

The current state of Li Huo Palace and Profound Yin Palace is indeed like fire and water.

A little provocation could likely cause another conflict.

Li Huo Palace has always been dissatisfied and unwilling, wanting to retaliate and regain face.

Profound Yin Palace felt that they weren’t ruthless enough last time, and should have destroyed Li Huo Palace completely.

Zhu Yuxia continued to look at the middle-aged man, her eyes sparkled again, astonishingly beautiful.

At this moment, using her secret technique, she was like the Immortal Zhechen, dazzling and captivating.

Zhu Yuxia asked: "What Spiritual Artifact did he obtain to hide his aura?"

"This is beyond my knowledge; Grandmaster never mentioned it, nor did anyone else." The middle-aged man said slowly.

As he spoke, his eyes always fixed on Zhu Yuxia, with a gentle gaze, as if expressing tender love to a lover.

Zhu Yuxia sighed: "I never expected Forget Sorrow Valley to be so powerful. Who refined this Forget Love Pill?"

"It was an Elixir Recipe that Grandmaster encountered by chance, after years of research, finally succeeded in refining."

"Where did the chance encounter occur?"

"Grandmaster has great fortune, having encountered many opportunities."

Zhu Yuxia said: "What other powerful Spiritual Artifacts or secret techniques does he have?"

"...Grandmaster has a Transformation Secret Technique that can disguise and transform into others, indistinguishably, even those nearby can’t tell the real from the fake."

Zhu Yuxia frowned: "Using this secret technique, what has he gained?"

"Some encounters were obtained using this technique."

"How to obtain them?"

"Disguising as a sect disciple, entering the sect, and acquiring their inherited mental method."

"Which sect disciples did he disguise as?"

"He disguised as someone from Li Huo Palace."

"And what else?"

"Other than that, I don’t know. I only know Grandmaster has been in Li Huo Palace."

"Li Huo Palace!"

Zhu Yuxia sighed and looked at Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng’s face became extremely grim.

On top of being somber, it darkened even more, like a layer of frost.

Zhu Yuxia’s eyes brightened, her voice soft: "Did he not also enter our Profound Yin Palace?"

"I don’t know." The middle-aged man shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Can this Miracle Technique transform between genders?"

Zhu Yuxia quickly said: "It shouldn’t be able to change genders, right?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I’ve never seen Grandmaster personally use this technique, only heard about it."

Zhu Yuxia gave Chu Zhiyuan a bitter smile: "To be honest, I’m afraid to ask too much now, ... it’s terrifying!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The more you know, the more defense you have. What is his cultivation Realm now?"

"Yes, what Realm is Song Wantao?" Zhu Yuxia asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man pondered, thought for a moment.

Zhou Qingyu was in a state of shock and amazement.

Shocked by the words from the middle-aged man’s mouth, while also amazed by the middle-aged man’s expression and actions.

Unexpectedly, the Evil God is so powerful.

Also, didn’t expect Zhu Yuxia to have such a secret technique with such power.

Making an enemy face her as if an old friend, without any defense, talking freely, revealing all secrets.

No wonder they didn’t use torture, this secret technique’s power is many times stronger than torture.

Lu Qingfeng and the other women all fixed their eyes on the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man thought for a moment: "Should be the Third Transition."

"Whew—!"

Zhu Yuxia and Lu Qingfeng both exhaled deeply, as if relieved.

"Thank goodness." Zhu Yuxia patted her trembling chest, smiled sweetly at Chu Zhiyuan: "Finally some good news!"

Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "Looks like we need to find a way to destroy him quickly."

Third Transition is manageable, not reaching Mid Third Transition, still relatively easier to kill.

Once it involves Mid Third Transition, cultivation undergoes a qualitative change, making it not so easy to kill.

"Sir, any ideas?" Zhu Yuxia’s spirit lifted.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Such a person, if not killed with one strike, will be a source of endless trouble!"

"Extremely troublesome!"

Lu Qingfeng solemnly nodded.

If this Evil God seeks revenge, it will be impossible to guard against.

Can’t always keep the Divine Artifact open; the power consumption is unmanageable.

Zhu Yuxia said: "Find others to besiege him?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "This Evil God is crafty; the news must be quick."

Zhu Yuxia nodded: "The news might leak, making him prepared, ... he should already be prepared now."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "To kill him, we must first find a way to lure him out."

Lu Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "His sent subordinates are dead; how could he not come?"

Zhu Yuxia looked at the middle-aged man: "You haven’t returned, will he come?"

The middle-aged man slowly nodded: "Grandmaster will definitely come and take a look in person."
