Perhaps it was because the posthumous children had not had any disputes with their kind for a long time that the Dabu camp was relatively lax in its defenses.
This did not mean that they were not wary of the Afo Tribe, which was only a few hundred meters away, but their focus was primarily on the areas closer to the Afo Tribe. The sentries at the far end were much sparser, and their main purpose was to guard against monsters.
Therefore, Ye Zhongming's infiltration did not pose much trouble for him aside from the unchanged sky.
At this moment, the benefits of the great thousand soul refining technique became apparent. Although not immediately visible, as long as he got within a certain distance, Ye Zhongming could barely distinguish the spiritual fluctuations of individuals he had particularly noted. He had previously remembered the two Earthlings, so after wandering around the camp for a while, he found the place where Han Yihao and his wife were being held.
Crouching in the shadow of a tent, Ye Zhongming waited for a while and noticed that most of the people were asleep before he stealthily entered the tent.
As for the two guards at the entrance... they were not particularly diligent in their duties.
Seeing Ye Zhongming enter, Han Yihao and his wife, who were resting, were incredibly surprised. Although the defenses of the posthumous children's camp were not strict, it wasn't easy for anyone to get in.
They naturally did not know that after practicing the great thousand soul refining technique, Ye Zhongming's sensitivity had reached an unimaginable level, allowing him to easily evade the guards.
Casting a worried glance at the shadow of the guard eating by the campfire, Han Yihao whispered, "You... you shouldn't have come."
His wife, Sun Yang, was initially surprised, then worried, and almost simultaneously said, "You should leave quickly. If you get discovered, you will end up with the same fate as us."
The couple's words immediately made Ye Zhongming feel a good impression, and his tone softened quite a bit.
"Who are you? How did you get into the secret realm?"
Ye Zhongming looked at the two, the intensity of his spiritual field gradually increasing.
The couple exchanged glances, and Han Yihao eventually said, "We want to ask you the same thing. If you didn't enter the secret realm by other means, then I think you must have come in through the Blue Bay Battle Team's Key of the Secret Realm, right?"
"You are from the Blue Bay Battle Team?!"
Upon hearing their words, Ye Zhongming instantly recalled that when he bought the Key of the Secret Realm from Bai Feng, the boss of the Renxing Battle Team had mentioned that this item was obtained from members of the Blue Bay Battle Team, who had joined his team.
Han Yihao smiled wryly, "Not only are we from the Blue Bay Battle Team, but we are also the founders of that team. When we entered here, I was the team captain and my wife was the vice-captain."
The fact that the two were indeed members of the Blue Bay Battle Team relieved Ye Zhongming, as it meant that as long as they were from Blue Bay, they had entered through the Key of the Secret Realm, proving that it was the only way to access the secret realm.
"When we first got that shiny key, we thought it was a treasure, but who would have thought it would turn out to be a death warrant."
The former leader of Blue Bay reminisced about those days, with an unmistakable sadness and regret in his tone.
"At that time, we were the strongest force in Ying City. Sun Yang and I were not only three-star evolvers but also part of the first batch to gain professions. We gathered quite a few followers and were doing well in the city."
"Yes, given the situation back then, as long as we continued to develop, we would only grow stronger. Unfortunately, we couldn't resist the temptation of the Key of the Secret Realm." Sun Yang picked up her husband's words and continued, "Perhaps we were too successful at that time, a bit swollen with pride. Even though this thing gave no hint, we still thought we were strong enough to explore and could quickly become rich overnight. Who would have thought..."
