"Do I have somewhere I want to go?"

Upon hearing Liang Yi's question, Qingqiu Mingli was also taken aback for a moment, before falling silent.

The place she most wanted to visit no longer existed, and the person she most wanted to accompany was no longer in this world. Where could she go now?

Seeing Qingqiu Mingli's somewhat subdued expression, Liang Yi and the others also understood.

"Senior, do you still remember Elder Zi Xuanbu from Purple Cloud Sect?"

"Zi Xuanbu? Of course, I remember. Why do you mention him?"

Qingqiu Mingli was somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Liang Yi would suddenly bring up that fellow.

"Elder Zi is currently just like Senior, with his Divine Soul remaining in this world, and after a long period of recuperation, he has gradually returned to his peak condition." Liang Yi smiled briefly and simply informed Qingqiu Mingli about Elder Zi's situation.

Next to them, Liu Rouxin was still engrossed in studying the Cultivation Technique passed on to her by Xue Youyou, not distracted, while Zhou Zuixi's face showed a bit of surprise.

They knew that Liang Yi had become the Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect and that there was a Great Cultivator from the Eighth Realm presiding over the sect, and that Great Cultivator had always been in the Purple Cloud Phoenix Extreme Secret Realm.

They hadn't expected this person to be the former Sect Leader of Purple Cloud Sect and that he was acquainted with Qingqiu Mingli.

"Some of the matters regarding Senior and Lonely Moon Valley were also informed to us by Elder Zi," Su Youyi added on the side.

"So it was him."

Qingqiu Mingli suddenly understood. No wonder during the conversation she found that Liang Yi and Su Youyi had an unusually familiar attitude towards her and Lonely Moon Valley. It turned out that Zi Xuanbu was still alive.

If it were him, it would be understandable for him to be so knowledgeable about her and Lonely Moon Valley.

"Now that Purple Cloud Sect has reopened its Mountain Gate, I would like to invite Senior to temporarily stay at Purple Cloud Sect. Meanwhile, you can wait for the reincarnation of your esteemed disciple and also take care of Qingqiu affairs," Liang Yi unveiled his true intent.

"When Senior is ready, whether you wish to re-establish Lonely Moon Valley or focus on teaching your disciple, we will fully assist you."

Qingqiu Mingli listened quietly to Liang Yi until he finished speaking, not rushing to give a reply. Instead, she gazed at Liang Yi with a calm look, trying to see through this handsome young man who she found unfathomable.

The atmosphere became somewhat solemn. Qingqiu Mingli seemed to be thinking, weighing her options, and trying to discern Liang Yi's true intentions.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Ultimately, Qingqiu Mingli withdrew her gaze and gave her response.

"I'll also temporarily keep Yue Bai by my side, until I've taught her all the Qingqiu inheritances I possess."

Upon hearing this response, both Su Youyi and Yue Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Su Youyi was relieved simply to not see his senior brother rejected, while Yue Bai was somewhat delighted that if she went to Purple Cloud Sect in the future, she would not only get to see her brother but also meet Aunt Mingli.

"I believe Elder Zi and Senior must have a lot to talk about," Liang Yi said with a smile, while also easing his heart a bit.

He was not familiar with Qingqiu Mingli; their relationship at best could be considered friendly. If it weren't for Xianchun and Yue Bai, Qingqiu Mingli probably wouldn't even consider his proposal.

It wasn't until Qingqiu Mingli agreed to his proposal that Liang Yi felt this expedition to the Secret Realm had come to a perfect conclusion.

"So, will this Senior Blood Book stay here all the time?"

Yue Bai curiously looked towards Liang Yi. They were about to leave soon; wasn't this Senior coming out with them?

"The Blood Book predecessor can't leave. His physical body has already fallen, and should he leave in this form, he would be targeted by the entire world," Liang Yi said, shaking his head somewhat helplessly as he looked at the Blood Demon's body, now void of any movement.

"If possible, I would also want to take this powerhouse with me back to the Purple Cloud Sect. With him there, we would not panic even in an emergency."

"One should know that the Blood Demon at his peak was even more powerful than Qingqiu Mingli, capable of single-handedly guarding an Abyss Gate."

"Moreover, once the Blood Book predecessor leaves this place, the Abyss Gate he is suppressing will definitely reopen directly, and then all the efforts my mentor has made on the other side will be in vain."

"So that's how it is."

Yue Bai nodded, now understanding the importance of the Blood Book predecessor's presence here.

"What did your master say?" Liang Yi turned to look at Yue Bai.

Since Qingqiu Mingli was going to teach Yue Bai, Yue Bai probably wouldn't be able to return to the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain for a long time, so it was better to ask the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits' opinion first.

"No problem at all!" Yue Bai, thinking that he probably wouldn't have to go back for a long time, laughed wildly with even his tail wagging non-stop.

"My master doesn't care about these things at all, I will just stay with brother and Aunt Li."

Liang Yi raised an eyebrow, knowing full well that the words of the little fox might not be entirely trustworthy, but seeing her so excited and happy, he chose not to expose her and decided to explain to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits later after they got out.

"Now that things are settled here, we should leave first. Do you two have any more questions for the Blood Book predecessor?"

Since it might take a long time to re-enter after leaving, Liang Yi specifically asked Xue Youyou and Liu Rouxin.

"No... no."

The two, immersed in cultivation, only came back to their senses after hearing Liang Yi's inquiry and shook their heads.

"This isn't the place for cultivating; once we get out, go to the Little Bamboo House in the Medicine Capital and find a place to focus on your research."

Liang Yi kindly reminded the two excited individuals, as cultivating here was far from as effective as meditating in seclusion.

"Alright, thank you for the reminder."

Xue Youyou also realized that the two of them were a bit too eager and sincerely thanked him after calming her somewhat agitated heart.

"Mhm."

After the reminder, Liang Yi no longer paid attention.

"I'll borrow the Secret Realm Key." Qingqiu Mingli reached out to Liang Yi.

"Okay."

Liang Yi did not ask what Qingqiu Mingli was going to do, and took out the key from his bag, handing it over to her.

Qingqiu Mingli took one last look at the still lifeless Blood Demon, held the Secret Realm Key in her hands, and clapped her hands lightly before slowly separating them.

A massive amount of Spiritual Power in the Secret Realm seemed to be summoned at that moment, converging towards the Secret Realm Key in Qingqiu Mingli's hands.

A bright green dot appeared between Qingqiu Mingli's palms, and as it continued to devour Spiritual Power from all around, it began to expand. After several breaths, it had grown to the size of two people in height.

The dot continuously rotated, with the surrounding Spiritual Power twisting and circling along.

Under everyone's gaze, a large green portal finally stood before them, identical in appearance and style to the portal they had entered this Secret Realm through.
