The Hell Path is like a mouse hiding in a cave, unable to see the light of day.

They only dare to stir troubles in secret.

If they truly faced off with even a single Overlord-level sect, they would probably be beaten to death.

Upon hearing Li Ye's question, Yu Shichen remained silent for a while before responding, "Besides only by doing this can I end up in the hands of Four Seasons Sect cultivators, I also really dislike Bitter Journey Academy."

Dislike?

The demon spirit born from Strange Tales of Bitter Journey Academy actually dislikes the Academy.

"Why?" Li Ye asked with a keen interest.

This time, Yu Shichen was silent for a much longer period.

So long that Li Ye started to lose patience, only then did he hear the dream-like voice, "Because my existence can only taint the books, I can no longer weave the silk needed to create brocade."

"Even if the Academy captured me, they would only execute me."

Li Ye nodded and casually commented, "I see."

"Is it because you lack Suqiu's help?"

The moment he spoke those words, Yu Shichen's expression turned very excited—this Golden Core True Man knew his secret ailment? He knew the reason for his limitation?

But before he could inquire further, Li Ye waved his hand, "I roughly know where Suqiu is, stay put for now, and I'll let you see your sister Suqiu."

After saying that, Li Ye simply left.

He left Yu Shichen here, without setting any Forbidden Technique or giving any instructions, just leaving him in the peach grove.

Yu Shichen watched the direction in which Li Ye left.

Silently, he sat down, making an effort to shrink his body to avoid his continuously dripping ink from polluting more of the world.

He no longer had any other choice.

...

On the other side, Li Ye quickly arrived at the Demon-Suppressing Tree he had planted back then.

Reaching out to grasp a branch, the Emotion Song began to slowly coil upward, and the consciousness in the distant place gradually became clear.

He called out, "Shuang Li!"

In the Southern Domain.

Shuang Li was in a cave mansion, devouring meat in large chunks and gulping down alcohol, as he felt the voice emerging from his heart.

Initially, there was a moment of hesitation.

——Should he respond?

He currently possessed a treasure, the life-saving tail of the Nine-Tailed Cat; even if Li Ye caused trouble, he could just die once.

If he only had to die once to remove the Forbidden Technique on him.

At that point, he could just never leave the Demon Race's core area in the Southern Domain, and could Li Ye really storm into this place completely controlled by the Demon Race to kill him?

This thought flashed by.

He was still somewhat distracted.

Respectfully, he responded, "Master."

The leaves of the Demon-Suppressing Tree gently swayed, slowly returning from the black color of betrayal to their original hue.

Li Ye squinted his eyes.

Indeed.

Although he beat this dog into submission back then, after leaving it unattended for so long, it started to drift away.

Did he really think the Demon-Suppressing Tree was a joke?

"You're quite disobedient."

Li Ye casually finished eating a peach and then reached out to grasp a branch, snapping it lightly.

"Crunch."

The branch was instantly broken by him.

Sticky blood water flowed from the fractured part.

Meanwhile, far in the depths of the Southern Domain's Demon Race territory, Shuang Li suddenly felt his arm break, a kind of pain arising from the depths of the soul, causing the cup in his hand to fall and shatter into pieces.

"Ugh...ugh."

Shuang Li's face twisted with pain.

Beads of sweat poured down like rain.

He clenched his teeth tightly, no longer harboring any trace of wishful thinking.

If he failed to respond or entertained any other thoughts, Li Ye could truly erase him like this.

"Master."

"I'm wrong!"

Shuang Li decisively admitted his mistake.

But the pain did not cease; instead, there was a flame striking directly at his soul, threatening to turn everything into Tribulation Ash, leaving all in lifeless silence.

Just a single touch, Shuang Li's soul was enveloped by terrifying gloom, even his heartbeat halted.

——A beast is, after all, a beast, naturally fearing fire, let alone the fire of the Tribulation.

Shuang Li curled up in his cave mansion, revealing his true form and spasming uncontrollably.

As he was on the verge of dying.

Li Ye's cold voice transmitted from his heart.

"I hope you don't have any other ideas."

The pain receded like a tide.

"Phew..."

"Phew..."

Shuang Li breathed deeply in the surrounding Spiritual Qi, experiencing the joy of surviving a disaster, while simultaneously developing deep fear of Li Ye, daring not to entertain any other thoughts.

He voluntarily spoke, "Master, recently in the Southern Domain...I finally understand why they wanted to find the array left by your sect."

"It's because of the rules."

"Back when this heaven and earth were created, there was dissatisfaction with the southeast regarding the Southern Domain."

"Within the territory our Demon Race inhabits in the depths of the Southern Domain, the power of laws belonging to the Celestial Dao is particularly weak, making it difficult for us to cultivate and attain enlightenment."

Dissatisfaction with the southeast?

Heavens incline northwest, the earth is unsatisfied in the southeast?

Li Ye recorded this scenario in a Jade Scroll, then instructed him to continue.

"Precisely because of the heavenly rift in the Southern Domain, Celestial Vein Sword Mountain could establish its orthodoxy in the heavenly scar."

"They directly draw power from the Celestial Dao to compensate for the deficiencies in the Southern Domain, allowing their path to be obstacle-free—but the Demon Race has no choice."

"It is said the array set up by Four Seasons Sect is meant to mend the heaven's deficiency, and if the Five-colored Flower left in the array can be found, a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land could be created."

Shuang Li revealed the information he gathered—initially he didn't intend to divulge it, but Li Ye's intimidation was indeed too strong, leaving him no choice.

It's undeniable that even Li Ye was a bit taken aback by this news.

So it was like this.

No wonder Master didn't explicitly tell him the purpose of the array back then; mending the heaven's deficiency, it is indeed a secret among secrets.

Li Ye's silence created unease in Shuang Li.

He racked his brains and suddenly remembered, "Oh right, Master, there's one more thing!"

"Do you know about the Body Refining Technique in the Southern Domain? Celestial Vein's Body Refining Technique."

"I heard from some Great Demons that cultivating this Body Refining Technique would cause one's bones and meridians to gradually integrate with the Celestial Dao, eventually transforming into stones to mend the heaven's deficiency!"

"And once you cultivate it, it's irreversible!"

Li Ye: "..."

At this moment, Li Ye was more than just surprised.

The Celestial Vein Body Forging Technique has such a flaw.

He, he had already asked Wei Qingye to help him obtain the Dharma Method, and began having Zhao He cultivate it!

Wait.

Is this true?

How come Shuang Li, such a Golden Core Wolf Demon, knows this much about these secrets, if the flaw of the Celestial Vein Body Forging Technique were to become known, the entire Southern Domain would likely become turbulent.

Why doesn't the Demon Race spread this news.

And Celestial Vein Sword Mountain, would they really use such despicable Dharma Method to maintain their orthodoxy?

Even if they would, would other sects just stand by idly?

Wouldn't Four Seasons Sect at least take action? Knowing that there are quite a few cultivators in Four Seasons Sect who practice the Celestial Vein Body Forging Technique, including Nascent Souls.

The numerous confusing thoughts muddled his thinking, and just at this time, a thin red snake appeared at the place where the Emotion Song and the Demon-Suppressing Tree connected.

Slowly moving, it went unnoticed by Li Ye.

Its tiny eyes were filled with excitement and joy, silently swimming forward, and when it approached Li Ye's finger, it opened its mouth wide, biting directly onto his finger.

Its body gradually dissipated as the venom was expelled.

Sudden bursts of pain caused Li Ye to snap back to reality.

"Hmm?"

He looked at the tiny wound on his finger, and heard an extremely seductive voice saying, "True Man Lingye, your dog is going to die!"

The once lush leaves of the Demon-Suppressing Tree suddenly cascaded like rain.

Turning into dead gray.

Meanwhile, the Emotion Song transmitted Shuang Li's screams of agony, seemingly capable of seeing him writhing and rolling on the ground in excruciating pain.

A woman dressed in a red robe with scales on her face was watching this scene, flicking her tongue and seemingly quite pleased.

But Li Ye's expression shifted from tranquility to a slight upward curl at the corners of his mouth.

Heh.

I was just worrying about not having anything to cast spells on.

And now it has delivered itself right to my doorstep.
