Qin Yan, bear in mind that you owe me this...

"Ah Yan, the Palace Leader is still inside the secret realm." Sangqian Jun, who was sitting on the ground, swallowed the blood that was bubbling into his mouth. Xie Yuqing walked up to him and helped him up, whispering, "Is Shīfu all right?"

Sangqian Jun looked a little pale, and Xie Yuqing next to him fed him some medicine. After taking the medicine, Sangqian Jun explained to everyone, "I fear the seal has gone awry just now. Those demon cultivators resisted relentlessly and ejected us from the secret realm. Now that the Palace Leader is still in there, should we re-enter?"

Hearing Sangqian Jun's explanation, Qin Yan turned to glance out the window. A branch had been broken off of a tree trunk outside the window, and he turned his head. After a moment's hesitation, he closed his eyes and swept his divine sense to scan through the Xuanji Secret Realm, detecting Fu Changling's aura right away.

After Sangqian Jun posed this question, everyone fell silent.

Entering the Xuanji Secret Realm at this point would be risky for two reasons: first, the Xuanji Secret Realm would be unable to handle so many people entering and disintegrating straightaway, trapping everyone inside; second, everyone had already seen the dangers inside the Xuanji Secret Realm, so entering now would put their lives in jeopardy.

The six Elders and six sect and clan leaders exchanged glances. These fourteen people present here pretty much decide Yunze's major and minor cultivation affairs, and any one of them missing would be a great loss to the sects and clans.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Sangqian Jun gulped back his blood and gritted his teeth. "If not, I will enter, and all the Elders..."

"Sangqian Jun," said the Leader of the Sword Sect, Jian Xingzhi, coldly, "Don't act impulsively. Such a grave situation needs to be discussed by all."

Everyone in the room began to deliberate on who should enter the secret realm, while Xie Yuqing stood by and listened with a frown on her face.

Qin Yan simply turned around, walked over to the window, and closed his eyes.

Inside the secret realm, Fu Changling saw a monstrous deluge surging in from all around, with flames mixed with boulders dropping from the sky out of the blue. At Jiang Yebai's side, he was struggling to hold the barrier together while also slashing demon cultivators that were pouncing on him with his sword.

All of this attrition had caused his Jindan to throb with pain. He desperately pondered what he should do at this moment when he suddenly heard a familiar voice ring out, "Fu Changling."

Fu Changling rolled on the spot and dodged a demon cultivator's claws. "Qin Yan?" he replied, rather bewildered.

"I'm outside. What's the situation inside?" Qin Yan's voice was calm. When Fu Changling looked down, he saw the jade pendant Qin Yan had given him flashing. He instantly understood that the jade pendant given to him by Qin Yan must have been infused with his blood essence, enabling him to feel his presence through it even from afar.

An indefinable elation welled up in Fu Changling's heart. The small fan in his hand slashed across a person's neck so swiftly that blood splattered over his face. He quickly described the situation inside: "Shīfu has almost finished sealing, and the spiritual energy within the secret realm is fluctuating intensely. We're surrounded by hundreds of demon cultivators."

"What do I need to do?"

"Don't enter. There isn't sufficient space for too many people in the Xuanji Secret Realm right now." Fu Changling cast a glance at the blood formation he'd laid out earlier. His spiritual power had always been limited, and the formation had become almost useless, affixed to the ground and glowing faintly. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Find eight Deification-level or above cultivators and have them sit in the positions as I designate, then arrange top-grade spirit stones in the appropriate positions as I indicate."
