A series of system notifications rang out in Chen Yi's mind.
However, at this moment, Chen Yi had no time to worry about them; his gaze was fixed tightly on the two little vixens before him who had misbehaved.
These two little vixens were charming and lovely, like fairies descended to earth, but their mischievousness made one both love and hate them.
Chen Yi couldn't help but think of the beautiful female demons the ancients often spoke of who bewitched people, sighing inwardly, "They really are vixens!"
What Chen Yi cared about most, however, was that Strong Body and Robust Physique skill.
Ever since mastering this skill, he felt as if he had been reborn; his waist didn't ache, his legs didn't hurt, and he was full of energy.
Last night's great battle was now a piece of cake for him, as easy as swatting a small mosquito.
Chen Yi felt secretly proud, thinking that tomorrow night he must let Lin Mengxue and the others see his current prowess.
If they still dared to say he wasn't up to the task, he would dump all the remaining 300 Enhancement Points into his Constitution.
Then he'd see who would still say he couldn't handle these little girls!

Meanwhile, on the other side...
At this time, the atmosphere at the Luo family in the Magic Capital was exceptionally tense.
After receiving Chen Yi's report regarding the interior of the heart of the secret realm and the collapse of the Five Elements Secret Realm, Luo Qinghe did not hesitate for a moment.
He immediately organized the other six of the Seven Dragon Generals to hold an emergency meeting.
The youngest of the Seven Dragon Generals, an eleventh-tier, tenth-rank Beast Tamer from the Xuanyuan Family of Kunlun City, Xuanyuan Wu, frowned deeply. "Wang Ruochen? Senior Wang, isn't that your daughter's—"
Before he could finish, Wang Shihao's face darkened abruptly.
He slammed the table hard, interrupting Xuanyuan Wu. "Don't mention her! I severed my father-daughter relationship with her long ago!"
"But—"
Xuanyuan Wu wanted to say more, but the words died in his throat.
"Alright, now is not the time for this!"
Luo Qinghe quickly cut in, "The occurrence of this incident is enough to prove my previous guess was correct! The Demon Abyss Cult has indeed made a comeback! And the scale of their scheme this time is far larger than we imagined!"
Wang Shihao clicked his tongue sharply, his expression turning very ugly. "Dammit! Those bastards... they wouldn't be trying to use Wang Ruochen's hand to act against our Wang family, would they?"
A twelfth-tier, second-rank Beast Tamer from the Qi Family of Huacheng, Qi Kai, frowned and analyzed, "I believe this matter is definitely not that simple!"
"I remember a similar situation where demonic beasts suddenly appeared in Hanbei before, right? Add to that the person who was demonized in Jiang City earlier, there must be some connection!"
"It's quite possible that spies have been planted in all of our families!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room instantly froze.
In truth, everyone was well aware of the possibility that there were spies within their families.
They were just unwilling to bring it out into the open.
Internal family struggles and power grabs were already exhausting; if the existence of spies were added to the mix, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, if that were truly the case, whether they could be found was another matter entirely.
Any move would surely alert the enemy.
The trouble caused then would definitely be more, not less!
But if they just let the spies run rampant in their families, situations like those with Wang Ruochen and Liu Ruyan would likely happen again!
Especially for large families like theirs, where various forces were intertwined; besides the main branch, there were at least a thousand branch and collateral families, so a single move would affect everyone.
Moreover, once they started looking for spies, news would inevitably leak out.
The fact that the families of the Seven Dragon Generals had been infiltrated by the Demon Abyss Cult would undoubtedly cause unnecessary panic in the Dragon Kingdom.
It was truly a dilemma!
Silence, like a heavy dark cloud, loomed over the entire meeting room.
After a long while, Lin Qingyang, a thirteenth-tier, first-rank Beast Tamer from the Lin family of Ye City, broke the silence.
"The common point in all these incidents is the presence of that newcomer named Chen Yi, right?"
"But looking at the situation, it seems they don't want to kill Chen Yi, but rather want to convey some kind of message to him—for example, to recruit him!"
As soon as Lin Qingyang finished speaking, the expressions of the six big shots present instantly became solemn.
The Demon Abyss Cult had always been known for its bloodthirstiness; their cruelty was beyond imagination, truly like demons who killed without blinking.
Although Chen Yi was powerful and his talent was unparalleled, he had not yet fully grown.
Given the Demon Abyss Cult's style of doing things, they would never let any witness go!
There were only two possibilities for this situation.
First, Chen Yi was one of the Demon Abyss Cult's people—but Luo Qinghe had already judged this personally, so it could be completely ruled out.
Second, the Demon Abyss Cult had developed a strong interest in Chen Yi; they might want to test him through some trial conditions to see if he could pass!
If Chen Yi could meet their requirements, whether through coercion, enticement, or kidnapping, they would eventually make contact with him!
In the incident twenty years ago, even Nangong Wenqiu, one of the Seven Dragon Generals, was successfully brainwashed by the Demon Abyss Cult and became a sharp blade in their hands.
This showed just how terrifying their brainwashing methods were!
It was quite possible that Chen Yi was the Demon Abyss Cult's next target!
Lin Qingyang paused briefly before continuing, "Qinghe, you mentioned before that Chen Yi is going to participate in the Beast Taming Contest in twenty days, right?"
"Yes! Is there a connection?"
Lin Qingyang's expression froze again as he said seriously, "Things usually happen in threes. I suspect the Demon Abyss Cult will likely determine Chen Yi's value during this Beast Taming Contest and then make contact with him!"
"In that case, we might as well beat them at their own game and dispatch guards to protect him in secret!"
"Once any suspicious person is found approaching him or trying to take him away, we'll seize them immediately!"
"That way, we might be able to follow the clues and get information on the Demon Abyss Cult!"
"It just so happens that our Lin family also has a new generation preparing to participate in the Beast Taming Contest this time. It's only natural to have guards entering with them for protection!"
"As long as we allocate our military resources reasonably and set aside a portion to protect Chen Yi, there shouldn't be any major issues!"
"What do you all think of this?"
