If something happens to you, this secret technique will be lost.

Pass it on to me, at least I'm from the human race, and perhaps I can kill more demons for you afterward to avenge you."

Tang Fan sighed deeply and said with a bitter smile, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but because it's a one-time bead, containing a mysterious power, seemingly left by ancient cultivators. You should understand, elder, ancient cultivators always have some very peculiar things."

"Oh."

Song Yan responded but didn't ask further.

This kid is too slick; his storage bag only contains some basic profound crystals and profound artifacts, none of that 'golden armor divine person's' power from that day.

And this power is not some kind of Crimson Palace blood; it seems more like a strange secret technique.

As for a one-time bead?

Do you take me for a three-year-old child?

He has a hunch that Tang Fan has been able to hide for so long under the pursuit of the Fox and Wolf Races because of this mysterious secret technique.

In recent days, he asked Sikong Le.

Sikong Le also didn't know about Tang Fan's secret technique, only saying that this young man lived under a hidden identity in the sect, normally just a talented disciple, never expecting him to stand out at such a crucial moment.

As for the blood in Tang Fan's body, coveted by Master Yingti, it was a kind of 'Mountain-moving Ape' Crimson Palace demon blood.

This 'Mountain-moving Ape' is not the blood of any demon from the Mountain and Sea Demon Race, but an extremely rare demon blood.

Tang Fan being discovered was quite amusing.

This brat, after making a breakthrough in his cultivation, felt so delighted that he roared to the sky, which happened to be overheard and recorded by the Inspection Envoy sent by the Fox and Wolf Races.

The ape's roar was so loud, accompanied by the rumble of a collapsing mountain.

It quickly attracted the attention of the Fox Demon clan, who sent people to investigate and discovered a hair over ten feet long deep in the mountains. After bringing it back for examination, it was confirmed to be 'Mountain-moving Ape.'

And 'Mountain-moving Ape' is prized for extracting an evil treasure from the 'Changwang Soul Threshold' and is excellent demon blood, not as good as Changwang Hu but decent.

Of course, from his conversation with Yingti, Song Yan learned that the 'Changwang Soul Threshold' is quite significant; the demons' search for 'suitable blood candidates' isn't limited to just him and Tang Fan; there are many more.

And that's precisely why this long and challenging task was passed onto him.

Since the discovery of the 'Mountain-moving Ape' bloodline, a complex series of events led to the name 'Tang Fan' finally catching the attention of the Fox and Wolf Races.

The two were having an on-and-off conversation when suddenly a white-robed figure approached from afar, gracefully landing outside the pavilion. It was a charming and dignified female cultivator.

This female cultivator was Fang Qingmeng, the "dream partner" of almost all the unmarried cultivators of the younger generation in the Thousand Crane Sect.

As someone seated under the command of the Purple Mansion elder, Sikong Le didn't dare to act rashly and sent Fang Qingmeng over.

Not only because of Fang Qingmeng's good looks and her early-stage Crimson Palace Realm, but also because she had a previous 'record.'

Fang Qingmeng, an ordinary outer disciple of the Thousand Crane Sect, caught the attention of the Crane Ancestor during an encounter, received guidance on cultivation techniques, and was admitted into the inner sect. She did not disappoint the Crane Ancestor's trust and indeed advanced all the way, successfully breaking through the Crimson Palace Realm to become the youngest elder in the sect.

Sweet-talking and adept at pleasing the elders, along with a good mind and power, she was naturally the best choice.

In everyone's eyes, Song Yan was naturally considered a centuries-old monster; no one could know his actual age was just 39.

At this age, in the cultivation realm, let alone being called an ancestor, even encountering Fang Qingmeng would require calling her Aunt Fang.

Yet...

At this moment, the female cultivator, who ought to be called Aunt, was pretending to be a little girl, using a lively girl's tone to sweetly call out, "Grandpa Zhang, I've come to find you again!"

Song Yan looked at this old 'aunt', using a grandfather's doting tone to his granddaughter, said, "What brings little Qingmeng here again?"

Fang Qingmeng said, "Someone is looking for Grandpa at the mountain gate, saying it's from the Changchun Hall..."

She didn't elaborate, just adding, "A woman and five children. Because they mentioned Grandpa, I didn't dare to handle it on my own and let them rest first."

Song Yan was silent for a moment, not responding.

Fang Qingmeng had ample patience to wait.

After a long while, Song Yan suddenly said, "I heard from Sikong Le that your Thousand Crane Sect plans to establish a branch sect moving south?"

Fang Qingmeng sighed gently and said, "Yes, we have no choice. The Demon Race is like a sword hanging in the north. We small sects can't afford to provoke them, so we plan to hide. If one day disaster strikes, we can at least leave some elite lineage and not sever the heritage."

Song Yan laughed and said, "Such a secret, yet you tell me directly?"

Fang Qingmeng giggled and said, "Isn't it because it's Grandpa Zhang?"

While they were talking, a violent vomiting sound came from the side.

Tang Fan, teasingly laughing, said, "Fairy Fang, you always act so aloof in the sect. Why are you so demure now?"

However, neither Fang Qingmeng nor Song Yan looked at him, completely ignoring his retching.

Song Yan gazed deeply at Fang Qingmeng, suddenly saying, "That woman, a girl, and four boys, I don't recognize.

But your southern relocation plan is pretty good, do it quickly.

I'll only stay here until next summer at most, there's not much time left."

Fang Qingmeng's pupils narrowed slightly, nodding, "Understood, Grandpa. The sect's southward migration plan indeed needs to be expedited. I'll take care of it right away."

With that, she retreated.

Tang Fan remained stunned for a long time, looking at Song Yan, saying, "So, the elder is a good person.

You clearly know those six people but pretended not to recognize them to avoid involving them.
