After speaking, Bai Yunfei turned his head again, a playful smile on his face, and asked Luo Yan, "You say you're from the Heavenly Demon Sect, but why should I believe you? To be honest, the Heavenly Demon Sect is even more impressive than our Illusory Void Sect. Your cultivation level..."
Luo Yan did not get angry at Bai Yunfei's skepticism; instead, he calmly replied, "The technique I practice is heavily infused with demonic energy. To enter the territory of the Righteous Path, I naturally had to seal away part of my cultivation."
"Then what are you doing in the Righteous Path's territory? You aren't trying to instigate some kind of righteous versus evil war, are you?"
Ling Mo Xie recalled what he had seen in television shows from his previous life, where Evil Cultivators always lurked in the shadows, stirring up trouble among sects and wishing for chaos to reign.
Luo Yan looked at Ling Mo Xie with confusion and said, "Why would I want to instigate a righteous versus evil war? That would be a thankless task."
"Uh... I see," Ling Mo Xie awkwardly scratched the back of his head; television dramas were not to be trusted.
Luo Yan did not notice Ling Mo Xie's embarrassment and continued, "The last righteous versus evil war was fought over a treasure of the world. The Righteous Path and the Evil Path are merely different in their cultivation techniques. I won't deny that many in the Evil Path practice wicked techniques, but isn't your Righteous Path just as hypocritical?"
"Alright, why don't you tell me what you're doing in the Righteous Path's territory?"
Seeing that Luo Yan seemed to harbor resentment towards those from the Righteous Path and was going on and on about it, Ling Mo Xie decided to change the subject.
"Well..." Luo Yan paused for a moment, channeling his spiritual energy. In an instant, he set up a purple-black barrier around them. Once it was arranged, the barrier blended into the air and became invisible.
Seeing Luo Yan's serious demeanor, Ling Mo Xie was quite curious and urged him, "What is it? Why so mysterious? It can't be something shameful, can it?"
Ling Mo Xie's comment was meant as a joke, but Luo Yan did not laugh; instead, he said seriously, "It's not that it's shameful; it's just that it shouldn't be casually shared with others. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
Even Xiao Chi, who usually focused solely on the food in front of him, raised his head curiously to stare at Luo Yan, wondering what he was about to say that required such secrecy.
"I'll continue with what Bai Yunfei was saying! Do you all know about Luo Guyan before he ascended to the Demon Realm?"
"No, we don't!" Ling Mo Xie, Bai Yunfei, and Xiao Chi all shook their heads.
Ling Mo Xie looked at Bai Yunfei in surprise, "Didn't you say Luo Guyan was so famous? Why don't you know anything?"
Bai Yunfei rolled his eyes, "Although many powerful beings invite people to witness their ascension as a way to bid farewell to this world, it is said that Luo Guyan's ascension was a secret even his wife, children, and disciples were not informed about. He left quietly."
"Bai Yunfei is right. Therefore, even within the Heavenly Demon Sect, no one knows when Luo Guyan ascended or what he left behind, or perhaps he didn't ascend at all?"
"However, I inadvertently obtained an old map that leads to the tomb built by Luo Guyan for himself. His legacy after ascending should be inside!"
"After saying all this, what does it have to do with your Righteous Path sect? And what does it have to do with the Da Luo Sect?"
Originally, Ling Mo Xie was enjoying the 'story,' but soon felt something was off. Then she realized that Luo Yan was looking for a way to enter the Da Luo Sect!
Luo Yan glanced at Ling Mo Xie and explained, "It's precisely because of this tomb that I came here!"
"Luo Guyan is a great demon, right? Why would he build his tomb on the territory of the Righteous Path sect?" Ling Mo Xie asked Luo Yan.
"Who knows? Anyway, his tomb is on the territory of the Righteous Path sect. I came here for his tomb. However, I overestimated myself. Even though I sealed part of my cultivation, I was still discovered by a disciple from a sect that specializes in opposing our Evil Path sect. So... with my cultivation sealed, I could only keep fleeing."
At this point, a hint of a gentle smile appeared on Luo Yan's icy face.
Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei looked at each other in surprise. This guy can smile like that? Wait, wasn't he being chased? What is he smiling about?
Luo Yan glanced at the puzzled Ling Mo Xie and Bai Yunfei, and said cheerfully, "Because I sealed my cultivation, so I am naturally no match for them. There was even a time when I thought I was going to die here."
"Ugh, is this another cliché story of a beauty saving a hero? Alright, I got it!"
Hearing this, Ling Mo Xie curled his lips and said to Luo Yan.
"That woman is from the Da Luo Sect?" Ling Mo Xie continued to speculate and asked.
"Yes!" Luo Yan nodded. "My identity was discovered, and I don't know what happened to her, so I want to go check."
However, Ling Mo Xie was not thinking about that. He frowned and said, "Since the Da Luo Sect has discovered your identity, didn't they inform the other sects? If that's the case, it would be troublesome. I think you should hurry back to the Evil Path's territory!"
A cold smile appeared on Luo Yan's face. "It seems they know I came to the Righteous Path's territory to find the Sky Demon Tomb. Do you think they would tell other sects about this?"
After hearing Luo Yan's explanation, Ling Mo Xie fell into deep thought. After a while, he connected all the information and formed a guess.
However, he did not share his speculation with Luo Yan and instead asked him, "Did you tell anyone else about looking for the Sky Demon Tomb? How were you discovered?"
Upon hearing Ling Mo Xie's question, Luo Yan immediately replied, "I only told you guys and Xiaoyin about this. At that time, I was injured, and Xiaoyin went to look for spirit herbs for me as usual. But before Xiaoyin could return, people from the Da Luo Sect came looking for me. Since Xiaoyin is also from the Da Luo Sect, I thought they were just friends of hers and didn't realize my identity; I didn't even run away. I almost got captured by them."
"Hmph, isn't that quite obvious?"
Ling Mo Xie curled his lips into a mocking smile, chuckled lightly, and shrugged his shoulders, saying, "You should hurry and find your Sky Demon Tomb. That Xiaoyin..."
Ling Mo Xie shook his head and fell silent.
However, Luo Yan's emotions began to destabilize: "Are you talking about Xiaoyin? No! It can't be her! If it were, why would she save me? Wouldn't it be easier for her to just let me die? I don't believe it!"
Luo Yan slammed his fist on the table, black flames erupting from his body, and his eyes turned crimson.
Bai Yunfei exclaimed, "Oh no! Is he about to break the seal?"
Cracks began to appear in the barrier that Luo Yan had set up, and a powerful aura surged from him.
"Stop him quickly! If someone else finds out, it will really be bad!" Bai Yunfei shouted at Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie felt somewhat at a loss. Damn it! This guy looks so cold, yet his mental fortitude is so weak?
With a loud bang, in a moment of panic, Ling Mo Xie cursed under his breath, gathered his spiritual energy, and struck Luo Yan on the neck. Luo Yan, whose seal had not yet fully broken, immediately fainted and collapsed onto the table.
Almost simultaneously, the barrier set up by Luo Yan shattered with a loud crash and silently dissipated into the air.
