The Death of Xuanyuan Shumou

Xiao Feng kept those members of the Yao Race and Human Race in the Secret Realm for the time being, also considering the trouble that the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou would cause.

Inside the Secret Realm, they could not communicate with the outside world, so news of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's fall would not spread for the time being.

However, Xiao Feng was well aware that as the Sect Master of the Tianyi Sect, this matter could not be hidden for long; it would inevitably spread sooner or later.

What Xiao Feng needed to do was to delay the speed at which this news spread.

He could not let this news spread too quickly.

Yet, Xiao Feng did not know that for major Sects like theirs, any Disciple of even slight importance would leave a Soul Lamp within the Sect.

If something unexpected happened to someone, the Soul Lamp inside the Sect would extinguish.

Therefore, the Tianyi Sect had long since known that their Sect Master, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, had passed away.

At this moment, Xiao Feng and the others had not yet left the Secret Realm, so they were temporarily unaware of this.

As soon as Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei stepped out of the Secret Realm, they heard about the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou in a city near the Secret Realm.

Only then did they realize that this matter had already become the talk of the town.

They didn't even need to ask around; they simply went to a teahouse to have tea and heard a Yao Race storyteller vividly recounting the story of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's fall.

Even though the Demon Emperor Secret Realm was still in a closed state, and it was impossible for the situation inside the Secret Realm to leak out, there were already various rumors outside about the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were very nervous when they first heard it, but later they realized that everyone was discussing it, yet there were conflicting opinions about whose hands Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had actually died in.

The two of them felt slightly relieved.

Subsequently, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei found a way to quietly inquire why the news of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's fall had spread so quickly.

Only then did they learn about the Soul Lamp.

"I was careless. Xuan Yuan Shu Mou has been dead for so long; if the Tianyi Sect already knows, they have likely sent people to the Monster Realm. We must be cautious."

After confirming the situation, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei immediately found a secluded place to discuss their next steps.

Wu Xia was currently in Xiao Feng's contract space and had not been released yet.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei had changed their appearances again, walking through the Monster Realm with unfamiliar faces, and their true identities had not yet been discovered.

Their disguise could hold out for a while longer, but it was not a long-term solution.

However, Xiao Feng did not know that because Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had died in the Demon Emperor Secret Realm, the news had taken two months longer to spread than Xiao Feng had imagined.

The reason it was causing such a stir in the Monster Realm was that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had died in the Monster Realm, and specifically within the Demon Emperor Secret Realm.

Some of the Tianyi Sect Disciples and Elders that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had brought with him still remained in the Monster Realm.

It was precisely because they were making such a grand display of searching for the murderer that it had become so clamorous.

As for the actions taken by the Tianyi Sect regarding the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, they only began when Xiao Feng and the others emerged from the ice and snow world and were preparing to leave the Secret Realm.

At that time, the former Young Sect Leader, Xuanyuan Jian, knelt painfully before the Old Ancestor.

He had become a cripple; he knew he could no longer continue to hold the position of Young Sect Leader.

If Xuan Yuan Shu Mou had not met with an accident, he, as the son of the Sect Master, would still have been able to live comfortably.

Even if he had become a cripple.

But he hadn't expected that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou would actually die, and that he had died for the sake of avenging him.

Now, Xuanyuan Jian knelt before the Old Ancestor and wept, not only because he had lost his father, but more because he had lost his backer, which allowed him to act recklessly in the Tianyi Sect.

He could only beg the Old Ancestor to avenge his father.

But Xuanyuan Jian also understood his family's Old Ancestor to some extent.

Although his father was his Bloodline Legacy, a Cultivator at the Old Ancestor's Realm did not care about Bloodline Legacy, but rather whether he himself could break through the final Realm shackles and achieve Major Achievement.

Xuanyuan Jian did not have 100% certainty that the Old Ancestor would act, but at this moment, besides kneeling and kowtowing before the Old Ancestor, he had no other options.

Facing Xuanyuan Jian, who was crying and begging before him, the Old Ancestor merely glanced at him indifferently and could not help but shake his head and sigh inwardly.

"He is indeed a Child of Luck; this is what it means to be the epitome of Luck. It seems that the boy named Xiao Feng must have obtained a great Opportunity, otherwise, Shu Mou would not have died so easily."

The Old Ancestor was determined to get his hands on Xiao Feng. Now that Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, who could handle things for him, had fallen, it seemed that this time, he would have to personally take action to test Xiao Feng.

Just as Xuanyuan Jian had guessed, the Old Ancestor only felt that he had lost someone to handle his affairs regarding the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

He did not have any unnecessary emotional fluctuations just because he was his Bloodline Legacy.

Now that he was willing to personally go and test Xiao Feng, it was also because he was very curious about the things regarding Xiao Feng, not to avenge Xuan Yuan Shu Mou.

"Get up. I am already aware of your father's matter. Since your father is my Bloodline Legacy, I will not let him die in the Monster Realm so unclearly."

"I will personally avenge your father. Your injuries have just healed a little; during this time, do not get angry or overthink. Stay obediently in the Tianyi Sect to continue recovering, and do not let down what your father did for you."

Others had many speculations about the fall of Xuan Yuan Shu Mou, but to the Old Ancestor, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's death could only be because of Xiao Feng; it could never have been killed by anyone else.

Because Xuan Yuan Shu Mou died in the Demon Emperor Secret Realm and was killed by the Demon Emperor Clone, the memory fragments he sent back were not many.

But coincidentally, there was the figure of Xiao Feng in those memory fragments, as well as the image of the space where the Demon Emperor Clone was Sealed at that time.

In the Old Ancestor's view, perhaps Xiao Feng had obtained some Opportunity and tricked Xuan Yuan Shu Mou into that mysterious space, causing Xuan Yuan Shu Mou's life to be taken by the existence within the mysterious space.

In fact, Xuan Yuan Shu Mou was just purely unlucky.

Xiao Feng did not yet know that the Tianyi Sect's Old Ancestor was coming to cause him trouble.

After he and Zhao Yuwei went out from the teahouse, they first found an inn to stay in.

The two of them were also pondering where to go next.

"Now that the matter of the Demon Emperor Secret Realm has not spread yet, we can stay in the Monster Realm for the time being. After all, the Monster Realm is vast. Although we have enemies, as long as we hide in time, it will not be easy for them to find us."

Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Zhao Yuwei said: "This method is feasible. Then we must leave this city as soon as possible. Moreover, we must live incognito from now on; we cannot let too many members of the Yao Race know our true identities."

The best method would be for them to find a suitable valley and then directly set up a Formation outside the valley so that people would not be able to find their tracks.
