Li Song never expected Feng Yuqin to be at the Imperial Teacher level.
For someone so young to have reached such a level was truly astonishing to Li Song and the elders from other cities.
Feng Yuqin sheathed her sword and entered the secret realm with Li Song and the others.
The people from the Pill Sect sensed the opening of the secret realm's entrance.
They had originally come to scout the area.
But they never imagined that the secret realm would open ahead of schedule. By the time they arrived, the entrance had already closed.
The people from the Pill Sect were furious.
They had worked so hard, planning to monopolize the treasures and especially the inheritances in the secret realm.
But their plan was foiled by Feng Yuqin, and now they couldn't even enter the secret realm.
How could they let this go so easily?
After entering the secret realm, the spiritual energy was different from that outside.
Many people went off to seek their own opportunities.
Even the people from other cities bid farewell to Feng Yuqin and parted ways.
In the end, only Li Song and a few elders from Li City remained.
Feng Yuqin glanced at Li Song and said, "You guys go look for treasures on your own. I'll be fine by myself."
Hearing this, Li Song hesitated for a moment before saying to Feng Yuqin, "Doctor Feng, the people from the Pill Sect didn't get in. They won't let this go easily."
"The people from the Xing family won't either," an elder from Li City added.
Seeing that they were about to tell her about the Xing family, Feng Yuqin didn't refuse. "The teleportation array used by the Xing siblings is not ordinary."
She had noticed that the temporary teleportation array had spatial elements added to it, different from an ordinary one. Otherwise, with her spatial domain covering it, she could have killed them with a thought.
Even if the elder of the Xing family self - detonated, she could have killed the two siblings while retreating. But she had tried and still failed to stop them from escaping.
That was why she realized the teleportation array was extraordinary, and Xiaojin had also told her that it contained spatial elements.
Moreover, she had also discovered that the Chu family was from the Inner Domain. And according to Aunt You, it was not easy for them to obtain such a spatial teleportation array.
So the Xing family must have a close connection with the Inner Domain. Otherwise, a teleportation array with spatial elements wouldn't have appeared in the Outer Domain.
Li Song said, "The Xing family has a daughter, Xing Mengyao, who is the younger sister of the current head of the Xing family. She married into the Inner Domain. Xing Zhuohua is a talented child of the Xing family, so this teleportation array must have been given by Xing Mengyao."
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin's eyes grew colder. "I never thought the elder of the Xing family would self - detonate by infusing his essence blood."
"The Xing family deals very harshly with traitors," Li Song explained. "If the elder and the guards of the Xing family didn't fight to protect the masters of the Xing family, their families would have a very tragic end. Even those without families would be captured no matter where they fled."
So, even if they were reluctant, they had to protect the Xing siblings to ensure their families' safety.
"Do you know which family in the Inner Domain Xing Mengyao married into?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"The Xia family," Li Song replied. "I heard that the Xia family didn't have their current status back then. Xing Mengyao met people from both the Xing and Xia families during her training.
I don't know the details. I only heard that later, the Chu family, a sworn enemy of the Xia family, had an accident because of the poison in Xing Mengyao's hands. All the Chu family members were poisoned, and some died while others went missing."
Feng Yuqin didn't react much when she heard about the Xia family. But when she heard that the Chu family was poisoned, she looked at Li Song and asked, "Do you know anything about the Chu family? Or do you know the name of the head of the Chu family? Or the names of other members of the Chu family?"
Li Song didn't notice the change in Feng Yuqin's voice. "The head of the Chu family was Chu Tianhe. He had a daughter named Chu You. The downfall of the Chu family was related to Chu You's husband's family."
"What? It's them!" Xiaolinger and the others in the space exploded when they heard this.
Although the Chu family rarely talked about these things during their time in the valley, Xiaochumian occasionally mentioned some things about their enemies.
That was why although Chu Tianhe was Xiaochumian's maternal grandfather, she called him grandpa.
Because Xiaochumian knew some things about her father's family, she directly took Chu Tianhe's surname and changed her address from maternal grandfather to grandpa.
Feng Yuqin never expected to encounter the enemies related to the Chu family.
She had originally planned to find a way to deal with the Xing family.
But now it seemed that they wouldn't let the Xia family go either.
She didn't know what kind of poison Xing Mengyao had, but since it could trap the Chu family in the Mandala Valley, it must be quite powerful.
Of course, that was for others.
No matter how powerful the poison was, it wouldn't be of much use to her.
The Chu family was different from her. Although they had been cured, they might be poisoned again if they met Xing Mengyao or the people from the Xia family.
"Do you have any other information about the Xing and Xia families?" Feng Yuqin paused for a moment and said. "I want to know more about these people. After all, since I've clashed with the Xing family this time, it will probably be a life - and - death struggle in the future."
Li Song said, "Doctor Feng, it should be easy for you to deal with the Xing family with your current strength. But it might be difficult to deal with the Xia family behind them."
What Li Song didn't say was that the Xing family had the Xia family behind them, and the Xia family must have even more powerful forces backing them.
These forces were all connected, all aiming to strengthen their own families.
The Xing family was already a top - tier family in the Outer Domain, but they still wanted to attach themselves to more powerful forces, like the Xia family in the Inner Domain.
The Xia family must have had the same idea as the Xing family.
In fact, most big families thought this way.
Marriage alliance was one of the quickest ways to strengthen a family.
"I know," Feng Yuqin said. "I'm already in this situation with the Xing family. Knowing more about the enemy will be beneficial to me."
Seeing her determination, Li Song didn't say anything more.
He told her everything about the Xing and Xia families, including the things about Chu You's husband's family.
After listening, Feng Yuqin learned that Xiaochumian should have originally been surnamed Wu.
The Wu family had also done well in the Inner Domain because they had colluded with the Xia family.
"This is too much! It's really too much!" Xiaolinger was furious when she heard this.
"The people from the Wu family are even more despicable than the Xia family," Dabao said with a gloomy face.
