Chapter 253: Five Elements Butterfly

However, a glimmer of sharpness soon appeared in Zhang Dashan's eyes.

His eyes were wide open, like a furious lion, as he suddenly realized a problem.

The coordinates of this Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm are strictly confidential; every person who enters the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm must pass a review, the purpose of which is to strictly guard the secret of the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

Clearly, Ye Bai did not enter through this method.

He was suspected of sneaking into this Secret Realm to steal intelligence.

It was just that, hindered by the fact that he was his grand-disciple, it was difficult for Zhang Dashan to take him into custody.

"As for you, Ye Bai, you had better give me a good explanation of how you broke into this place."

"This is a Secret Realm where others are forbidden from entering."

"According to the regulations, no one is allowed to enter here at all."

"Otherwise, you will be dealt with as a spy."

Zhang Dashan huffed and puffed as he spoke, telling Ye Bai the gravity of the situation.

Ye Bai was so angry he laughed.

Fine, so he was going to turn the tables on him, was he?

If it were anyone else, Ye Bai would have already retorted.

However, Zhang Dashan was his grand-master after all, so his tone naturally wouldn't be that harsh.

"In fact, I don't know how I entered this Secret Realm either."

"I was in charge of invigilation for the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, and after encountering a spatial ripple, I inexplicably arrived in this Secret Realm."

"Grand-master, look, I even have red marks on my face left by branches whipping me."

Ye Bai said with a look of grievance.

"But compared to this, there is a more important matter I must report to you."

"I just encountered that demon, and it said it escaped from a seal, which is why it appeared in this Secret Realm."

"I suspect that this Secret Realm has a passage connecting to Hell, but it was sealed by someone."

"Perhaps only that demon knows where the seal is."

"Once the seal is broken, the demon army will enter this Secret Realm."

"If they use this Secret Realm as a stepping stone to invade Yan Country, what then?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dashan immediately became alert.

He could no longer be bothered to pursue why Ye Bai appeared here.

Finding the reason for the demon's appearance as soon as possible was the most critical key at the moment.

He pointed sharply at the demon's corpse.

Green Hellfire immediately erupted on the demon's corpse.

The demon's wails emanated from within.

"Hmph."

Zhang Dashan let out a cold snort.

A Demon Soul was extracted from the demon's body by the Hellfire.

This powerful demon was as fragile as a chick in Zhang Dashan's hands.

Ye Bai clicked his tongue; it had taken him quite some effort to deal with this demon.

It was only after some calculation that he had managed to kill the demon.

Yet Zhang Dashan did it with almost no effort at all.

Now Ye Bai didn't even know what level his grand-master's strength had reached.

Eighth Rank? Or Ninth Rank? Wails came from the Demon Soul.

"Tell me, where did you enter this Secret Realm from?"

Zhang Dashan questioned loudly.

"Hmph, if you destroy my Soul, just wait for the arrival of the demon army."

"They will avenge me."

The Demon Soul roared hysterically.

"Hmph, courting death."

The Hellfire engulfed the entire Demon Soul, and like a raging fire, the flames surged three meters high.

Sizzling sounds and the wails of the demon could be heard all around.

"The Demon King will avenge me."

"You humans, all die!"

Just at this moment, a flash of light instantly erupted from the Demon Soul.

Bang.

The Demon Soul exploded like a small nuclear bomb.

"Hmph."

Zhang Dashan waved his hand, and a Barrier formed by countless black flames surrounded him and Ye Bai.

He watched expressionlessly as the glowing, scorching Hellfire raged, turning this place, which had been like a fairyland, into Hell.

The Hellfire directly absorbed the power of the Demon Soul's Self-Destruct.

"Damn it, I was just a step away from getting the truth about the seal from its mouth."

Zhang Dashan looked at the devastated ground and snorted coldly.

"Ye Bai, let's go."

Ye Bai was being carried along by Zhang Dashan, so it really wasn't easy to just leave abruptly.

Otherwise, Zhang Dashan would suspect his purpose for entering the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

Although he was a rising star in Yan Country, once he was placed on a list for isolation and investigation, it would also give Ye Bai a massive headache.

Most importantly, his paper Clone was still guarding the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm.

Once Zhang Dashan confirmed the situation at the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, Ye Bai's lies would be completely exposed.

In that way, his character would be seen as problematic in Zhang Dashan's eyes.

He was having a massive headache right now about how to fool Zhang Dashan, but a shrewd and stubborn old man like Zhang Dashan was clearly not easy to fool.

However, the top priority of the demon invasion had now captured Zhang Dashan's attention, so he had temporarily escaped a disaster.

Ye Bai secretly released the Sunflower Emperor; he needed the Sunflower Emperor to collect resources for him, especially Emperor Flowing Plasma.

This was the key to Ye Bai entering the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

At this moment, Zhang Dashan was also somewhat troubled.

The Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm was under strict surveillance.

With one extra person appearing for no reason, how was he supposed to explain it?

He couldn't just bend the rules because the person was his grand-disciple.

He was a man of principle.

Thus, Zhang Dashan used the treasure known as the Unity Knot to consult with Su Qingxian.

A treasure like the Unity Knot could only be bound by people who truly loved each other, and it would permanently occupy a Contract Slot.

Its function was to allow communication while ignoring space and distance.

Su Qingxian suddenly sensed a slight vibration coming from the Unity Knot.

Subsequently, Zhang Dashan's phantom appeared in the Secret Realm; seeing Zhang Dashan's constipated expression, Su Qingxian thought something had happened.

When Su Qingxian learned about this matter, she actually revealed a relaxed expression.

"Haha, I previously had the idea of transferring Ye Bai over to conduct experiments."

"It's a pity that Ye Bai has already entered the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, and as a College Entrance Examination Inspector, he won't be able to come out for a short time."

"Since Ye Bai was able to come here, it must be heaven's will."

Su Qingxian said with a smile.

Zhang Dashan said with a bitter smile: "Then how do we explain Ye Bai's arrival?"

"The people in charge of surveillance definitely won't believe it."

"And how is Ye Bai supposed to leave this Secret Realm?"

"The defenses outside the Secret Realm are extremely strict."

"Once it is detected that Ye Bai entered the Secret Realm without going through the review process, it will bring us huge trouble."

Su Qingxian shrugged her shoulders: "Then just don't bring Ye Bai back."

"That way, the people in charge of surveillance won't discover him."

"And I remember you have a Boundary Breaking Talisman there; just have Ye Bai leave this Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm using the Boundary Breaking Talisman when the time comes."

"As Ye Bai's grand-teacher, what does it matter if you occasionally open a convenient door?"

"Children are grown up and have their own opportunities; we don't need to interfere too much."

"As long as it doesn't escalate to the level of threatening the safety of Yan Country, we shouldn't worry about it so much."

"In life, sometimes one must know how to be flexible."

Su Qingxian was quite open-minded.

"Fine, let's handle it just as you said."

Zhang Dashan accepted Su Qingxian's suggestion.

Thus, Zhang Dashan put Ye Bai down in a remote valley.

Ye Bai???

What does this grand-teacher mean? "Catch, Ye Bai."

Zhang Dashan tossed a primitive black Token to Ye Bai.

"This is a Boundary Breaking Talisman; if you inject your spiritual energy into it, it will open a space gate."

"This Boundary Breaking Talisman will take you out of this Secret Realm."

"Of course, the location where the space gate opens is random."

"The Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm is currently blockaded by Imperial Capital University, so it's not easy for us to bring you back to the Research Institute established here by Imperial Capital University."

"Although I don't know how you entered this Secret Realm, you must be very careful while walking in this Secret Realm."

"If you encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, use the Boundary Breaking Talisman to leave here in time."

"By the way, your Grand-teacher Su also said that if you discover the secret of the Five Elements Butterfly's evolution, record it down."

"If you discover the location of the seal, transmit the information to me through this small bead."

After Zhang Dashan finished speaking, he maneuvered his Hellfire and charged toward the direction of the Research Institute.

He urgently needed to find the location of the seal now.

Otherwise, once the seal broke and swarms of demons rushed out from Hell, not only would the people remaining in the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm be in danger, but the demons would also very likely use this Secret Realm as a stepping stone to invade Blue Star.

When that time came, it would truly be a time when living creatures were devastated.

Ye Bai suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know why this stubborn grand-teacher of his had suddenly changed his mind, this was a good thing for Ye Bai.

This meant that he would be unrestrained in the Secret Realm.

At night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

A bright, clear moon appeared in the sky.

Many butterflies with glowing wings danced gracefully in the air.

Ye Bai had also been waiting for the intelligence to refresh.

According to Ye Bai's understanding of the system, the system should disclose some intelligence regarding the Demon Seal.

Daily intelligence refresh: 【1. There is a Demon Seal at the Butterfly Sacred Valley, and this Demon Seal is gradually weakening. It requires a large amount of Five-Element Crystals to reinforce the seal; otherwise, every other day, a Tier 6 demon will break through the seal. Light-attribute skills have a great restraining effect on demons.】

【2. Emperor Flowing Nectar can promote the transformation of Exotic Beasts, and at the same time, it can urge Five-Element Butterflies to evolve into Five-Element Sacred Butterflies.】

【3. If one wishes to store Emperor Flowing Nectar, it is best to use a space-attribute Exotic Beast. Once Emperor Flowing Nectar comes into contact with items possessing five-element attributes, it will lose its spirituality.】

【4. When using a Boundary Breaking Talisman, the spatial gate that appears is random. If a certain amount of Space Crystals are used, one can designate the location of appearance.】

【5. The Butterfly Sacred Valley contains Five-Element Butterfly hatchlings. Only Five-Element Butterfly hatchlings that contain the Five-Element Origin attribute can eventually evolve into Five-Element Sacred Butterflies.】
