Fang Hong sped along, flying for about another half an hour.

Suddenly, Fang Hong sensed something and abruptly stopped in mid-air, his gaze fixed on a secluded mountain forest.

Beneath the tree cover deep within the mountain forest, two furtive black-clad Cultivators were hidden.

The two wore identical attire, with a sect mark on their cuffs, indicating at a glance that they were fellow disciples from a certain sect.

Their strength was not particularly high, only at the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm, which in the Ancient Demon Continent was considered bottom-tier Cultivators.

The reason Fang Hong specifically stopped to observe was that their actions were quite peculiar, piquing his curiosity.

One of the Cultivators cautiously hid behind an ancient tree, constantly paying attention to the surroundings, as if keeping watch.

The other Cultivator stood in the open space ahead, holding a palm-sized black bell, which he continuously and gently shook.

At the same time, he softly chanted a certain incantation, his voice low and hoarse, exuding an eerie aura.

As the incantation was chanted, a faint layer of black Qi appeared on the surface of the black bell, emitting waves of strange sounds.

The sound waves penetrated obstacles, constantly spreading outwards and merging into the surrounding demonic qi.

Not long after, a series of heavy footsteps came from the distant dense forest, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Soon, a massive Black Bear Demonic Beast charged out from the woods.

This Black Bear Demonic Beast had pitch-black fur, a body comparable to a small mountain, and crimson eyes, clearly attracted by some force, as it charged directly towards the two black-clad Cultivators.

Facing the charging Black Bear Demonic Beast, the two Cultivators showed no panic; instead, they revealed triumphant smiles.

One was in the open, the other in the shadows, and taking advantage of the Black Bear Demonic Beast’s unpreparedness, they attacked simultaneously.

A sword light and a black Qi simultaneously struck the Black Bear Demonic Beast’s vital points.

The Black Bear Demonic Beast let out a mournful shriek, its massive body swayed, and finally, it collapsed heavily to the ground.

After a few twitches, it lay still, having been jointly hunted down by the two Cultivators.

Fang Hong stood in mid-air, taking in the entire process, and immediately understood.

The black bell used by that Cultivator and the strange incantation he chanted clearly had the special effect of luring Demonic Beasts.

It could make Demonic Beasts lose their minds and actively approach the caster.

Fang Hong’s heart stirred; if he could also learn this incantation and combine it with the black bell, he might be able to attract Demonic Beasts of the Grand Unity Realm to appear voluntarily.

This way, he wouldn’t have to aimlessly search in the vast central area, and the efficiency of hunting Demonic Beasts would undoubtedly greatly increase.

This was a great boon for him.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong no longer hesitated; his figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before the two black-clad Cultivators.

At this moment, the two Cultivators were squatting beside the Black Bear Demonic Beast’s corpse, preparing to handle the spoils.

Suddenly seeing an unfamiliar figure appear out of thin air before them, the two were startled, their bodies stiffened, and the smiles on their faces instantly froze.

When they sensed the powerful aura emanating from Fang Hong, they were even more terrified, their legs went weak, and a chill shot from the soles of their feet straight to their crown.

The strength of this Senior far exceeded their comprehension; merely his aura made them breathless, and they didn’t even dare to harbor thoughts of resistance.

"Se-Senior."

"We two did not know you were Cultivating in seclusion here. If we have disturbed you in any way, we beg Senior for forgiveness and to spare our lives."

One of the Cultivators stammered, his voice trembling.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two Cultivators knelt down with a thud, looking utterly terrified, not daring to raise their heads.

They were afraid that Fang Hong, in a fit of rage, would take their lives.

"What incantation did you just use that can attract Demonic Beasts?"

"And also, tell me about that black bell in your hand." Fang Hong looked down at the two and asked directly.

Hearing Fang Hong’s question, the two Cultivators dared not neglect him in the slightest and quickly replied respectfully. "Replying to Senior, this Junior just used the ’Demon Summoning Secret Art’."

"This Secret Art was created by our Demon Control sect’s Sect Master, specifically for attracting Demonic Beasts."

Saying this, the Cultivator holding the bell quickly presented the black bell with both hands.

"This black bell is called the ’Demon Luring Bell’, it is an Immortal Artifact used in conjunction with the Demon Summoning Secret Art, capable of amplifying the effect of the Secret Art."

"If Senior needs it, please take it; this Junior dares not utter a single word of complaint."

Fang Hong reached out and took the Demon Luring Bell, weighing it in his hand, feeling the faint Immortal Power fluctuations within, and understood.

This Demon Luring Bell was merely a third-grade Immortal Artifact; its quality was not too high, and its power was limited.

"Demon Summoning Secret Art, Demon Luring Bell, it’s quite a practical thing." Fang Hong spoke indifferently, his tone revealing no emotion.

The two Cultivators saw that Fang Hong was not angry and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

They quickly added.

"Senior, you may not know, but we two are merely Outer Sect Disciples of the Demon Control sect; our cultivation is limited, and the Demon Summoning Secret Art we cultivate is only a simplified version, its power greatly reduced."

"This Demon Luring Bell is also just a replica issued by the sect; its power is far inferior to the genuine one."

"If Senior is interested in the complete Demon Summoning Secret Art, you might consider visiting our Demon Control sect to meet the Sect Master."

"With Senior’s strength, the Sect Master will surely welcome you warmly, and perhaps even bestow the complete Secret Art upon you."

The Demon Summoning Secret Art was one of the sect’s core secret arts, and Outer Sect Disciples who learned it had to abide by strict restrictions.

If anyone forcibly searched their souls to obtain the Secret Art, the restriction would instantly trigger, killing both of them on the spot!

The reason they voluntarily mentioned the complete Secret Art and the sect’s location was that they were afraid Fang Hong would search their souls to obtain the Secret Art.

They might as well proactively reveal the information, which would both save their lives and avoid offending this mysterious Senior, a win-win situation.

Fang Hong naturally saw through their thoughts; he had no interest in their lives to begin with.

They were just two True Immortal cultivators; even if fed to the demon gourd, the Immortal Pill refined from them would not have much effect on him.

What Fang Hong truly cared about was the complete Demon Summoning Secret Art.

Thus, Fang Hong directly asked. "In which direction is your Demon Control sect’s main branch?"

Hearing this question, the two Cultivators rejoiced, knowing that their lives were saved.

They quickly pointed their fingers in a northern direction and replied urgently.

"Replying to Senior, our Demon Control sect’s main branch is in this direction."

"It’s about a hundred thousand li from here, and there are sect buildings along the way, very easy to recognize."

Fang Hong glanced in the direction they pointed, then threw the Demon Luring Bell back to them.

He said no more, his figure flickered, and he vanished into thin air, as if he had never appeared.
