Master Bai Ling coughed lightly, "Come out and take a look for yourself, Nephew Wenren!"

Qin Qi heard it clearly, wasn't that voice just Wenren Xiaoxian?

But, Wenren Xiaoxian calls Master Bai Ling 'Uncle'?

Soon, Wenren Xiaoxian's figure walked out from the courtyard. As soon as she walked out, she saw Qin Qi.

Upon seeing Qin Qi's cultivation, her originally calm eyes suddenly became extremely surprised.

She pointed at Qin Qi, "You, you've already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Qin Qi smiled, "Miss Wenren, haven't you also successfully entered the Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Wenren Xiaoxian's surprise did not diminish, the shock lasted for a long time before she lightly bit her lip, "I entered the Foundation Establishment Stage because I have enjoyed extraordinarily favorable resources in the Holy Maiden Association since I was young."

"And even before, I could have broken through, just never did due to the artifact from Shi Chongfeng!"

But how did Qin Qi manage to break through?

In her eyes, Qin Qi is surely talented, but just a wild boy from the provinces, without the rich resources to lay a solid foundation.

How could he possibly catch up to her and reach a cultivation stage so quickly!

Master Bai Ling chuckled, "Actually, we were quite surprised to learn that little friend Qin Qi had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. We thought this would take another two or three years to accomplish!"

Qin Qi thoughtfully said, "From the way you're talking, it seems you've been watching me for a long time, and intended to find me only after I reached the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"Why, is whether I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage so important to you all?"

Master Bai Ling did not hide the truth, saying, "More than important, it is immensely important."

Qin Qi was more perplexed.

Master Bai Ling, with his hands behind his back, "Master Huiming, should you explain or should I?"

Monk Huiming stroked his beard, "I shall. It's a long story. Just now, little friend Qin Qi asked why, despite our abilities, we still remain in the Martial Arts District."

"In fact, a thousand years ago, we cultivators separated from normal humans to avoid affecting their lives. Several great figures forcefully created a Secret Realm."

"The Secret Realm is completely isolated from the outside world. Humans outside can develop normally while cultivators train within the Secret Realm, without interference!"

Qin Qi grew curious, "If so, where is the Secret Realm?"

Monk Huiming sighed, "The matter goes back a hundred years ago when a meteor fell. Creatures named Evil Demons appeared."

"Numerous great figures within the Secret Realm acted but found the Evil Demon techniques extremely strange. Ordinary True Qi methods were useless, and the black aura emanating from them could corrode our cultivator's minds, True Qi, and souls in the Sea of Consciousness."

"According to the trend back then, the Evil Demons even invaded the Secret Realm. Helplessly, innumerable great cultivators grouped together, sealing the Evil Demons on two fronts, one inside the Secret Realm and one outside."

Qin Qi actually had some understanding of Evil Demons from the mysterious woman before.

But, it seemed nothing as comprehensive as Monk Huiming's explanation.

He listened attentively.

Monk Huiming also explained more thoroughly, "The sealing succeeded, but a problem arose. The entrance to the Secret Realm, because of the seal, prevented cultivators from going outside."

"And we descendants of the strong who suppressed the Evil Demons from the other side couldn't enter the Secret Realm or contact the cultivators within due to the separation of the seal!"

"If it remained so, everything might have been fine. But the problem was that the Evil Demons were also highly intelligent. Knowing the Secret Realm was impenetrable, they intended to try breaking the seal from our side."

Qin Qi gradually understood, "So the Dao Inference Department is actually the descendants of those strong ones from then, guarding the seal here?"

Monk Huiming lamented, "Not only us, but Leihu Mountain, Holy Maiden Association, and even the former Thousand Cauldrons Palace, were all descendants of those strong ones!"

"Our four factions each guard a sealing spot. But forty years ago, Thousand Cauldrons Palace suffered a sudden enemy attack by Evil Demons, and everything fell."

"With the seal opened at that breach, the remaining three factions are barely holding on. I'm afraid we cannot last much longer."

Qin Qi suddenly realized.

No wonder Wenren Xiaoxian calls Master Bai Ling 'Uncle'.

It turns out that these forces, fundamentally, come from that extremely mysterious Secret Realm.

Just uncertain where Duan Meng is now.

He curiously asked, "With modern technology, can't we kill these Evil Demons?"

Monk Huiming sighed again, "It has been tried. We've contacted some high-level figures of modern society. Many high-tech methods were employed, but to little effect!"

"So, little friend Qin Qi should understand the gravity. If the Evil Demons fully breach the seal, and strong ones from the Secret Realm cannot emerge, no one will be able to control these Evil Demons then."

Qin Qi frowned, "But Master Huiming, if you strong ones are at a loss with these issues, what good will come from finding me?"

Master Bai Ling finally spoke, "Little friend Qin Qi mustn't underestimate yourself. Finding you is not only useful, but immensely valuable."

"Haven't you forgotten, during the Evil Demons trial, your results? This is something that even the Dao Inference Department's members could not achieve."

"But you, you achieved it. Although I cannot identify your Cultivation Technique, that kind of Pure Yang Mana just happens to be the best counter against the Evil Demons!"

"Therefore, this endeavor must have you involved!"

Qin Qi had already known, these two found him precisely because of his technique to counter the Evil Demons.

Yet he was still puzzled now, "This endeavor? Up until now, both of you have yet to tell me what precisely you want me to do!"

Monk Huiming and Master Bai Ling exchanged glances.

Then, Master Bai Ling spoke, "To traverse the entire Demon Slaying Area, enter the Secret Realm, and deliver a message. Thus allowing the strong within the Secret Realm to find a feasible solution!"

Upon hearing that, Qin Qi's mouth twitched, "Deliver a message? So there's no means of communication with the Secret Realm?"

"There used to be, but due to a female demon, the only means of communicating with the Secret Realm was completely severed." Master Bai Ling shook his head.

Qin Qi grumbled, "Are you kidding me? Traversing a Demon Slaying Area? How large is this Demon Slaying Area?"

"Probably, around a few hundred kilometers." Monk Huiming awkwardly replied.

"How many Evil Demons are inside?" Qin Qi continued asking.

"Inestimable, but the Evil Demons suppressed at that time are mostly inside. Plus the years of breeding…" Monk Huiming couldn't lie.

Qin Qi rolled his eyes, "Are you leading me to die?"

He dared to go to the Zhang Family because he could gamble on Monk Huiming and Master Bai Ling, but a reckless action with no assurance, he certainly wouldn't do it!
