I will go out for a trip in the next two days. If you have any questions, you can find Qingluan. However, you must never think about running out by yourself. The surroundings are all demon beast territories. It will be very dangerous for you to go out alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the red-clothed woman gave a warning, she didn't care about Song Qingming anymore and left directly. The Demon King named Qingluan followed her respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness, are you going to find Old Ancestor Jinyu?\" After walking a distance with the red-clothed woman, the expectant Qingluan couldn't help but ask again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-clothed woman sighed and said: \"Your mouth is getting more and more long-winded. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask. You stay here and watch this human cultivator well. If I can get that thing this time, I won't give you less benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Highness has great kindness to Qingluan. Serving you is my duty. How dare I talk about benefits? If it weren't for Your Highness taking action to enlighten my bloodline back then, Qingluan would probably still be an ignorant ordinary Demon King. To be able to speak like this, I would probably need hundreds of years of hard cultivation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I can enlighten your bloodline in advance, cultivation still depends on yourself. Your current strength is still far behind those powerful Demon Kings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the red-clothed woman left, Song Qingming also returned to the cave just now. It seems that there is no hope for him to escape this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know what those two Demon Kings want me to do, and whether they will let me go back after it's done. After sitting on the ground, Song Qingming's mind was full of thinking about these problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before being caught, the Qingluan Demon King seemed to have only asked about his technique. However, the Xuanguang Armor technique he used at that time was just an ordinary technique that relied on magic power to turn into armor to protect himself. This kind of spell was not considered a special or powerful technique among Foundation Establishment cultivators, let alone in the eyes of these powerful Demon Kings. Generally, the defensive effect of the body-protecting gangqi transformed by a Level 3 Demon King was much stronger than Song Qingming's Xuanguang Armor. How could they possibly look down on this ordinary spell of his?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that red cave, Song Qingming stayed alone for two days. After thinking about it, he still didn't understand what they wanted him to do, and he couldn't help but fall into a state of anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until the third day that the Qingluan Demon King took the initiative to bring him out of this cave and came to a larger cave outside. Only then did Song Qingming see the red-clothed woman again, but this time there was an extra gray giant eagle not far beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qingluan, you stay and watch the house. Long Feng, take this kid, we will set off immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the red-clothed woman finished speaking, without waiting for others to speak, she walked out first. The gray giant eagle named Long Feng responded, rolled with its wings, and rolled Song Qingming into its huge wings, making him fall into darkness like a cage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know how long it took, but I only heard the huge wind outside blowing continuously. After about two or three days, in the darkness, Song Qingming, who had been dizzy, was thrown out by Long Feng from the wings, and finally saw a glimmer of light outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Qingming sat on the ground, rested for a while, and slowly recovered a trace of clarity. Looking around, he found that this was a wide and boundless dirt slope. Except for piles of randomly placed charred stones, he couldn't even see a blade of grass. Looking at it, it was all a yellow color of mud everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is this?\" After Song Qingming asked, he felt that his voice had become dry, which was really unpleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire Phoenix, who was standing not far away, looked at Song Qingming and said: \"This was once a secret realm of your human sect. It should have been opened up by a powerful cultivator in ancient times. However, after human cultivators were driven out of the Fuyun Mountain Range by our demon race ten thousand years ago, no human cultivators have entered here. It is normal that you don't know this place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Secret realm? Why is there nothing here?\" Song Qingming was really surprised when he heard Fire Phoenix's words. Looking at the bare surroundings, the spiritual energy was also very thin, completely unlike the secret realm that could nurture heaven and earth spirit objects in legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kid, your cultivation is too low, so naturally you can't feel the spiritual power fluctuations here. After Her Highness opens the entrance to the secret realm later, you will naturally know immediately.\" The one who answered him was not Fire Phoenix, but the giant eagle Long Feng standing not far beside Song Qingming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Song Qingming suddenly realized with shame. He was indeed too weak and ignorant in front of these powerful Demon Kings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Fire Phoenix, who was standing in front, suddenly ignited a red flame in her hand, and a golden-red feather fan appeared out of thin air in front of her. Fire Phoenix stepped forward, picked up the golden feather fan, and drew it lightly toward the air. With a golden light shining, Song Qingming saw a golden crack several zhang wide suddenly appear in the air not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This golden crack looked like a scar, appearing strangely in mid-air. From time to time, fierce true fire with wanton spiritual energy erupted from it, and occasionally it would fall to the ground. Only then did Song Qingming understand why the ground here was so desolate and even the stones were charred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After you go in later, just follow the instructions on this map to help me take out a Fire Scale Fruit. Three days later, I will reopen this passage. By then, regardless of whether you succeed or not, you must come out immediately. If you have any questions, ask Long Feng now. I will send you in in a quarter of an hour.\" After Fire Phoenix finished speaking, she threw a leather map to Song Qingming, and then quickly sat cross-legged and closed her eyes, floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening, Song Qingming looked at Fire Phoenix in a daze, thought for a while, and bowed his head to the giant eagle beside him: \"Senior Long Feng, I have never heard of a spirit object like the Fire Scale Fruit. Can you tell me about it first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just need to find the valley marked on Her Highness's map and you will see it. Among all the spirit objects there, the spirit fruit with the highest spiritual energy level and emitting red spiritual light is it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, don't walk around after you go in later. There are all kinds of powerful restrictions everywhere in the secret realm. You must first find a way to adapt to the environment inside. I don't want you to be unable to come out the first time you go in, delaying Her Highness's big event.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Song Qingming didn't seem to know enough about this secret realm, Long Feng kindly reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>School started these two days, a bit busy, sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>",1298,"2026-06-14T03:09:34.521Z","2026-06-18T03:34:23.509Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","9696d786744c63ca7a1fd9ee9086e97ae2366f84fb9f55c75d0c5658ff126619","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-178","the-song-clan-of-qinghe-chapter-176",846,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-qinghe-song-clan-cover.jpg"]
