"My Lord is alone at the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect, which is extremely dangerous. You must be careful."
Feng Yu's beauty was beyond compare, and her gentle demeanor was irresistibly captivating. Nie Li felt his heart stir involuntarily.
"Elder Feng Yu, rest assured. Those people at the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect can't do anything to me. With my strength, I can come and go as I please." Nie Li said confidently.
"My Lord is wise and mighty." Feng Yu's silken, seductive voice drifted into Nie Li's ears. He felt something stir deep within him, surging waves of emotion rolling through his heart.
Nie Li suddenly sharpened his senses and thought to himself that something was wrong. This Feng Yu was not so easily fooled after all — she was trying to use a charm technique to test his true strength.
He had nearly fallen for her trick!
"Elder Feng Yu flatters me," Nie Li said with a loud, drunken laugh. "Although my strength after reincarnation is not what it once was, I have mastered the Spirit Phantom Maze Technique. Once I deploy it, even the Martial Ancestor realm experts of the Heavenly Sound Divine Sect won't be able to stop me."
Seeing the flush on Nie Li's cheeks, the seductive gleam in Feng Yu's eyes seemed to intensify. She said shyly, "My Lord, what kind of technique is this Spirit Phantom Maze Technique? I have never heard of it."
"Elder Feng Yu has never heard of the Spirit Phantom Maze Technique? Has Yue'er never mentioned it to you?" Nie Li asked, seemingly puzzled, his voice becoming intermittent and his breathing somewhat labored.
"Yue'er?" Feng Yu was briefly stunned, then realized that Nie Li was referring to their Sect Master, Mu Yue. She hadn't expected him to address her so intimately in private. "The Spirit Phantom Maze Technique — Feng Yu has never heard the Sect Master speak of it!"
"No wonder. This technique was passed down from the Ancestral Land. It is one of the ten great secret arts that are never shared with outsiders." Nie Li said.
"So it comes from the Ancestral Land!" Feng Yu exclaimed in sudden understanding. "No wonder the Sect Master never mentioned it. Could it be that My Lord is also from the Ancestral Land..."
"This must not be spoken of!" Nie Li quickly made a gesture, stopping Feng Yu from continuing.
"Yes, Feng Yu obeys." Feng Yu hastily replied. The seductive intent in her eyes gradually dissipated.
Nie Li then appeared to snap out of his daze, glancing at Feng Yu with a solemn expression. "Elder Feng Yu, I order you to immediately lead our forces back to the
"Yes, My Lord." Feng Yu hurriedly answered.
"Leave the Six Great Divine Sects to me. Once the Sect Master emerges from seclusion, we will annihilate them all in one sweep!" Nie Li said in a deep voice.
"Yes." Feng Yu was about to take her leave when she suddenly remembered something. She stopped and said, "Meeting My Lord today was extremely fortuitous. If someone from our Demon God Sect failed to recognize My Lord and accidentally harmed you, it would be an unforgivable offense. Feng Yu has here a token. Please keep it, My Lord. With this token, no one in the Demon God Sect will dare to harm you!"
Feng Yu's right hand moved, and a golden token appeared in her grasp. Three ancient characters were inscribed upon it — "Demon God Sect" — and it was covered with various mysterious symbols. She held the token up respectfully, offering it to Nie Li.
"My identity must remain hidden. No one can know," Nie Li said, looking somewhat troubled.
"My Lord need only keep this token on hand for emergencies," Feng Yu said earnestly, looking at Nie Li. "Please accept it."
"In that case..." Nie Li hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll accept it. I won't go to see anyone else — the fewer people who know of my identity, the better."
