The newcomer was none other than Ye Xuan.

He had hurried as fast as he could, and finally wasn't late.

"You, you are..."

The demonic cultivator felt the power of thunder spreading wildly within his body, his face filled with unwillingness.

He hadn't even noticed the slightest movement when a tree branch pierced through his body!?

"You are not worthy to know my name!"

Ye Xuan stepped forward, his palm clenched in the air, and the tree branch wrapped in the Sword Intent of thunder suddenly exploded.

The demonic cultivator's entire body also exploded in an instant, blood raining down on everyone.

It was not until this moment that Liu Yunxi and the others came back to their senses.

Looking at the blood on their bodies and Ye Xuan walking in front of them, they even forgot what had just happened.

"Xuan Ye, you, you're still alive?"

Nangong Fei's eyes lit up.

"Naturally, I'm not dead yet."

Ye Xuan smiled, then found the antidote from the demonic cultivator's storage ring and scattered it in the air.

After a moment, the four of them regained their strength.

"Surname Xuan?"

"Could it be that you are a descendant of the Xuan Family, a major clan in the Central Domain?"

At this time, Liu Yunxi's eyes sparkled as she suddenly asked.

With only a Spirit Sea Initial Stage cultivation, yet possessing the combat power to instantly kill a Spirit Sea Peak Stage demonic cultivator, this was definitely not a rogue cultivator!

She had learned about the major clans in the five regions of the Imperial Dynasty, and the Xuan Family was the head of the five major clans in the Central Domain, second only to the Imperial Family!

For a time, Nangong Fei and the others all looked at Ye Xuan.

She had never really thought about the Xuan Family.

"I seem to have heard that a Xuan Family prodigy entered the Cloud Canopy Academy not long ago, could it be you?" Nangong Fei thought for a moment, then suddenly asked.

After all, geniuses from top clans like the Xuan Family usually cultivated within the clan or in the Imperial College, and would never travel outside.

"Cloud Canopy Academy!" Liu Yunxi's eyes shone even brighter when she heard this.

Xuan Family!?

Ye Xuan frowned, he didn't know anything about the Xuan Family.

Xuan Ye was just a name he had randomly chosen.

"He can't possibly be a descendant of the Xuan Family!"

But at this time, Ling Tian sneered coldly.

"Would descendants of the Xuan Family be so secretive?"

He was the only descendant of a major clan in the team, but although the Ling Family was one of the five major clans, it was far inferior to the Xuan Family.

"Whether I am or not, what does it have to do with you?"

Ye Xuan directly looked over with a pair of cold eyes, lightning seemed to flicker in the pupils under the mask, and then he directly stretched out his large hand and grabbed Ling Tian's neck.

"You, what are you doing!?"

"What am I doing!?"

"You even want to collude with demonic cultivators, are you worthy to stay in the team!?"

Ye Xuan sneered, he had heard Ling Tian's words earlier.

He didn't mind killing this person directly in the secret realm.

"Xuan Ye, let him go..."

But at this time, Nangong Fei pleaded.

Although she also hated Ling Tian's previous actions, Ling Tian was, after all, a member of the Ling Family, and if he died in the secret realm, she would not be able to explain it.

"Scram!"

Only then did Ye Xuan release his large hand.

"Hehe, okay, I'll leave!"

"However, without me, don't even think about fighting for opportunities!"

Ling Tian snorted coldly, then turned and left.

He was also afraid that Ye Xuan would kill him.

"Xuan Ye, you're so amazing!"

Until Ling Tian disappeared on the small island, Liu Yunxi said with an adoring expression.

"To have such combat power at the early Spirit Sea Realm, and to be unafraid of Ling Tian, this is clearly a Xuan Clan noble!"

For some reason, Ye Xuan suddenly came to her mind.

Back then, Ye Xuan was also at the Spirit Sea Realm, with equally fierce combat power and an overbearing personality.

But soon, Liu Yunxi shook this strange thought out of her head.

How could Ye Xuan be compared to a Xuan Clan noble?

Lin Churan looked at Liu Yunxi's fawning appearance, feeling disdain in her heart, and said with a hint of ridicule, "What? Could it be that Young Master Xuan Ye is even more powerful than your Holy Son Xiao?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

"Just showing off that you have a mouth?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Liu Yunxi's face, her eyes glaring fiercely at Lin Churan.

Xiao Chengfeng was indeed talented, but how could his family background compare to that of an Imperial Dynasty clan!?

Not to mention, this was the Xuan Clan!

"Alright, business is important!"

Nangong Fei interrupted the two women's bickering, took out the ancient stone fragment, and placed it on the altar.

"It will take a few days to break the formation, you two will protect me!"

After Nangong Fei finished speaking, she was about to sit down and break the formation.

"It won't take that long, let me do it!"

But at this moment, Ye Xuan suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

"Hmm!?"

The three women heard this and couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan.

"You, are proficient in the Dao of Formations?"

Nangong Fei was stunned for a moment and asked.

"A little understanding!"

Ye Xuan nodded, and then directly raised his hand to form a seal and injected it into the altar formation.

Lin Churan watched carefully, she knew very well how strong Ye Xuan's Pill Dao was, but she didn't expect that Ye Xuan could give her so many surprises.

Just how deeply is this person hiding himself!?

"Brother Xuan Ye is a Xuan Clan noble, what's so strange about being proficient in the Dao of Formations?" Liu Yunxi, on the other hand, thought it was a matter of course.

Ye Xuan didn't have the leisure to explain, his hands forming seals continuously, and in less than half an incense stick's time, he broke the formation.

A small sword rose from the Spirit Marrow Milk, still with different colors.

But when Ye Xuan put away the small sword and turned around, he found that the three women behind him were already stunned in place.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Xuan frowned.

"Xuan Clan disciples are indeed extraordinary!"

After a long while, Nangong Fei gave a thumbs up.

Even Lin Churan was starting to waver at this moment.

Could it be that this Ye Xuan is really a Xuan Clan disciple!?

Otherwise, how could he have such a superb attainment in the Dao of Formations?

You must know that the Dao of Formations is different from the Pill Dao and the Dao of Artifacts, it requires extremely deep foundations to cultivate.

The Dao of Formations inheritance of the first-class Sects in the Four Regions is very weak, only the Central Region Academies and those top clans possess it.

Liu Yunxi had already begun to have a dazed look in her eyes.

She'd eat her words if Xuan Ye wasn't Xuan Clan!

"What is this?"

At this time, Nangong Fei looked at the small sword in Ye Xuan's hand.

"It's... a key to open some kind of restriction."

Ye Xuan thought for a while and said.

It was useless to talk about the Emperor Seal on it, not many people in this realm knew about the Emperor Seal.

"Key?"

"Is it the same as this fragment?"

Nangong Fei took back the fragment, then glanced at Ye Xuan and said, "In that case, it's not a treasure, you can have it and the Spirit Marrow Milk!"

"The Spirit Marrow Milk is nothing."

Ye Xuan shook his head. He naturally wanted to keep the little sword, but he had already obtained two pools of Spirit Marrow Milk.

"The Xuan Clan's descendants naturally wouldn't be lacking in Spirit Marrow Milk," Liu Yunxi said, seizing the opportunity. "Let's just do as Ye-gege says."

"Alright, you two can split it!" Nangong Fei nodded. Xuan Ye didn't care, and neither did she.

"Let's go, straight to the core of the secret realm!"

Immediately, Nangong Fei led the group away from the island, heading towards the core area of the Sword Mansion.

The core area wasn't far from the altar. After a day, the four of them approached the core area.

It was a ring of mountains. Although not towering, they stood beneath the dark sky, creating a sense of oppression.

But what shocked Nangong Fei and the others the most wasn't the majestic mountains, but the large patches of thunderclouds gradually gathering above them!

In just a few breaths, the tribulation clouds reached a size of ten thousand zhang!

Arcs of lightning surged, like thousands of thunder snakes rolling and entwining within.

"This, this is a lightning tribulation!?"

Liu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Is someone undergoing a tribulation?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ji Che about to advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm!"

Nangong Fei took a deep breath, her expression suddenly turning serious.

Among all the cultivators in the four regions, only Ji Che and Liu Yunxi were closest to the Heavenly Gang Realm.

"Advancing to Heavenly Gang?"

Lin Churan frowned. "So, this secret realm only restricts entry to those in the Heavenly Gang Realm, but if you become a Heavenly Gang expert inside, it won't be affected?"

"That's right!" Nangong Fei nodded, then looked at the others and said in a deep voice, "Ji Che already has a Spiritual Body talent, and now he's advancing to the Heavenly Gang Realm, his combat power will be extremely strong!"

"If you want to back out now, you can leave!"

"If you continue to follow me, it will be extremely dangerous!"

But at this moment, Lin Churan and Liu Yunxi looked at Ye Xuan at the same time.

Currently, Ye Xuan was the strongest in the entire team.

"Hehe, so what if it's Heavenly Gang?"

"There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Ye Xuan just scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.

He really hadn't fought against a Heavenly Gang Realm expert before!

"That's right, with Ye-gege here, what can Ji Che do? He's not the Holy Son!"

"If I had a Yuan Gang Pill, I could advance to the Heavenly Gang Realm immediately!" Liu Yunxi said proudly.

"In that case, let's go!" Nangong Fei nodded, and then continued to lead the three straight to the top of the mountain.

And when they arrived at the summit, the lightning tribulation had already dissipated.

Inside the mountains was a basin.

In the center of the basin stood a dark ancient hall.

The ancient hall was mottled, filled with traces of time.

But even so, there was still a terrifying Sword Intent, as if from ancient times, hidden within.

Even from a great distance, it made everyone's expressions suddenly turn serious.

This, is this the legendary Ancient Sword Mansion!?

But at this moment, Ye Xuan's brows furrowed under his mask.

Because this ancient hall looked ancient, but it was far from being outside the epoch, and in terms of aura, it was even further from that of a Great Emperor!

"Hehe, you guys came fast enough!"

When Nangong Fei and the others arrived in front of the ancient hall, Shangguan Hong, the son of the City Lord of the Eastern Region, sneered.

"However, Nangong, you're doomed to lose this time. Ji Che has already advanced to the Heavenly Gang Realm!"

"Hehe, since I dared to come, I've never been afraid!" Nangong Fei folded her arms and sneered.

"This ancient hall also has restriction formations, and it looks like it needs four keys to open!"

At this time, Ji Che, who was standing in front of the ancient hall, retracted his palm and said indifferently as he turned around.

"Keys!?"

"The ones in the altar?"

Nangong Fei raised her eyebrows.

"That's right!" Ji Che nodded, and with a wave of his hand, a small sword floated from the palm of his hand.

"In that case, let's wait for Ouyang and Chen Duo!"

Shangguan Hong shook his head and said with disdain, "Those two are really pure trash, even slower than Nangong!"

Nangong Fei's expression turned angry, and she was about to step forward, but Ye Xuan reached out from behind and held her back.

"No need to wait for them!"

Huh!?

Shangguan Hong and Ji Che were stunned by these words, and they all looked at Ye Xuan, who was wearing a mask.

Ye Xuan directly took a step forward, raised his hand, and three small swords of different colors floated from the palm of his hand at the same time.

"The keys are all with me!"

For a time, everyone present's expression changed drastically!
