"How could he be there?" Liang Yi was puzzled; the presence of the White Tiger Envoy there meant that the Devouring Spirit Sect was there too.

But does the Devouring Spirit Sect really have the time to explore the Secret Realm at such a moment? They are truly bold.

"That guy's favorite thing is killing; he follows the White Tiger's path of attaining enlightenment through slaughter. Among the Four Spirits Envoys, his talent and strength are the highest." Zhou Yuqing was worried about precisely this issue; if she were to confront that guy alone, it was uncertain whether she would succeed with her current strength.

"However, it's not certain. In the Cultivation World, there are quite a few cultivators who practice the aura of slaughter. What if there is a cultivator who follows the path of slaughter there?"

Zhou Yuqing said, looking at Liang Yi and Su Youyi whose expressions had become somber, then she spoke in a soothing tone.

"Now that they have entered the Secret Realm, by the time we get there, won't the Devouring Spirit Sect have taken everything?" Su Youyi felt a little heartache for the items stolen by the Devouring Spirit Sect.

"Don't worry, that Secret Realm is large and complicated. Without the key guidance, they won't be able to open or access many places. So by the time we get there, there will probably be no substantial progress, not to mention..." Liang Yi said, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he continued:

"Not to mention there is a Blood Demon in the Secret Realm, one that has survived from the previous epoch. If that White Tiger Envoy Bai Sheng cannot defeat it, then all his efforts will be in vain."

"That's true." The image in Su Youyi's mind of the Devouring Spirit Sect members continuously moving things out of the Secret Realm vanished, replaced by them sighing in despair while facing the Blood Demon.

"In that case, isn't Yu Wei in great danger?" Zhou Zuixi suddenly spoke up, a bit worried about the chubby man.

Although their relationship wasn't that of close brothers, Yu Wei always managed to find him plenty of rare Spiritual Wines; just for this, he regarded Yu Wei as a friend.

Liang Yi silently nodded; if the other party really was from the Devouring Spirit Sect, then Yu Wei might genuinely be in danger.

However, what gave Liang Yi a headache was not only the danger facing Yu Wei; they too were in danger on their way there.

"By the way, where is Liu Rouxin? Didn't she come back with you?" Liang Yi suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Zuixi, since they hadn't seen Liu Rouxin since entering.

"Lady Liu..." Zhou Zuixi showed a bitter smile upon hearing this.

"What happened to Elder Sister Liu?"

Seeing Zhou Zuixi's expression, Su Youyi became a bit worried.

"She drank too much wine earlier, then got into a bout of drunken frenzy. She's probably been taken away by people from the Blood Control Sect by now."

Zhou Zuixi rubbed his temples with a somewhat helpless gesture, as her shenanigans had really worn him out, with jumping and causing commotion. It took a great effort to appease the visitors there, making them think this was a performance arranged for their entertainment.

"Hahaha, I never expected Elder Sister Liu to be such a lightweight when it comes to drinking." Su Youyi chuckled, imagining two scenarios of Liu Rouxin when drunk: one where she became fiercer, and another where she turned silly.

"She has a low tolerance and yet loves to drink. Despite rarely drinking before, she insisted on guzzling the most intoxicating wine—you really wonder what she was thinking." Zhou Zuixi spread his hands, wearing a look of exasperation.

It's not like Zhou Zuixi didn't want to give her wine, but the Blood Control Sect's elder came to him personally to agree not to let Liu Rouxin drink. Already a little devil within the sect, if she were to get drunk and go wild, that would be disastrous.

"Then let's first go check at the Blood Control Sect, and not disturb the Prince any longer."

With the appearance of the Devouring Spirit Sect in the Secret Realm, the danger of heading there greatly increased. He needed to ask Liu Rouxin's opinion to decide whether to proceed.

After all, when leaving the Blood Control Sect, Elder Xu Yi had implicitly implied, "If Liu Rouxin is missing even a single hair, he would have an issue with him."

"Liang Brother, wait a moment!"

And just as Liang Yi was about to leave, Zhou Zuixi suddenly called out to stop them.

"Hmm? May I know if there's anything Brother Zhou needs?" Liang Yi paused, somewhat puzzled, and turned around to look.

"Actually, I have an unreasonable request to trouble Liang Brother with…" Zhou Zuixi pondered for a moment before finally speaking up:

"In truth, I also wish to journey with Brother Zhou and the others to that Secret Realm! Not for any other reason, but because there may be a Baiyunjian that matches with Bright Moon Edge." Zhou Zuixi's eyes burned with determination as he looked at Liang Yi.

He had a premonition that as long as he drank both Baiyunbian and Bright Moonjian together, embracing the essence of moon and cloud, his Mental State cultivation would surely breakthrough!

"Er... Prince, you wish to go too? But you know there's a group of Devouring Spirit Sect people there as well." Liang Yi was surprised, but upon further thought, it was understandable—Zhou Zuixi was indeed the type to disregard danger for the sake of fine wine.

"No matter! Fine wine is the best gift in the world; facing danger is inevitable when pursuing it!" Zhou Zuixi's expression was resolute, for roses have thorns, and all the more for fine wine, right?

"Oh right, and incidentally check if that Yu Wei fellow is dead or not."

"..." Watching Zhou Zuixi, who even looked somewhat devout, Liang Yi and Su Youyi scratched their heads, not expecting someone to take the pursuit of fine wine so seriously.

"Since Brother Zhou has this intention, naturally I have no objections; we shall set off together tomorrow then." Liang Yi agreed with a smile.

An additional person meant reduced danger, and Liang Yi and the others weren't particularly interested in the wine. Although it did taste quite good. Their goal was different from Zhou Zuixi's, hence there was no conflict in interests.

"En, then I'll trouble Liang Brother at that time." Zhou Zuixi nodded slightly in agreement, he was somewhat impatient to taste that other fine wine.

Liang Yi waved his hand, leading his junior sister and others out of the pavilion, turning to leave.

Zhou Zuixi watched as the group disappeared around the corner before sitting back down on the bench in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, casually sipping the fine wine in his hand.

Given that there was an Eighth Realm Cultivator in that Secret Realm, it was time for him to make preparations; he couldn't be as frivolous as before.

Turning his head to glance at the large "two" character, Liang Yi thought about the location of the Blood Control Sect in Fuchao City and promptly walked towards it.

The flow of time inside and outside the game was somewhat different, so players usually game for several days and nights without sleep. Even though it was deep into the night, many night-owl players were still active in the game.

What's more, today's small incident, with Wind God Commerce's promotion, had become a yearly fixed event in Fuchao City; though its main purpose was still to increase their profit, it did enrich the lives of the citizens as well.

For players, this event was an excellent opportunity for a free boost, a chance for free-loading BUFFs! Non-wealthy players would only apply a few layers of BUFFs before team fights on usual days, whereas the rich ones had bags full of items that could apply BUFFs.

But with this event, each player would head out of the city with a dozen layers of thick BUFFs, feeling almost too embarrassed to meet others without stacking at least a dozen layers of BUFFs.

The instant swelling of attributes made the players' confidence balloon, feeling like they could annihilate everything.

Monsters that they couldn't beat on regular days were now easy prey!

Since nobody knew when the event would end, players were now racing against time to drink wine and stack BUFFs on that street, then forming groups to head out of the city to hunt monsters, wasting not a single second.
