"Perhaps we'll have to rely on Ji Yue for this matter."

At this moment, Master Binghuo suddenly cast her beautiful eyes toward Meng Jiyue.

Upon hearing this, Ji Haoyuan was taken aback, and instinctively turned to look at her.

He was slightly surprised in his heart.

Logically speaking, Meng Jiyue's current cultivation is only at the mid-Golden Core stage.

She shouldn't have any means to track down Huanzhen, who possesses cultivation at the late-Golden Core stage.

But seeing the confidence in his senior sister's expression towards her friend, he wondered.

Could Meng Jiyue possibly have some special means or a trump card for locating someone?

Noticing Ji Haoyuan's confusion, Master Binghuo's lips curved into a faint smile.

She said, "Previously, Ji Yue might not have been confident about this.

But after entering the Shengtian Secret Realm and gaining that opportunity, she can be more than eighty percent sure of finding Huanzhen.

Ji Yue, am I right?"

"Miaoran, just give me the commands."

Meng Jiyue feigned a displeased glance at Master Binghuo.

Then, after a brief contemplation, she looked towards Ji Haoyuan and said:

"Your senior sister is indeed right, previously I was not skilled in finding people.

But after entering the Shengtian Secret Realm, acquiring the Life-taking Grass, and successfully refining the Life-taking Treasure Pill, I did gain a slight chance of locating Huanzhen."

"Life-taking Treasure Pill?"

It was the first time Ji Haoyuan had heard about such a thing, and he felt a bit curious.

Meng Jiyue didn't hide it from him.

She explained, "Our Dan Ding Sect has a magic called the Treasure Pill True Self Technique, which allows us to transform ourselves into an Alchemy Furnace, thereby refining numerous Treasure Pills unique to ourselves, similar to the Magical Treasure we cultivators refine to wield various special effects of these Treasure Pills.

The greatest effect of the Life-taking Treasure Pill is to lock onto others' intent to kill oneself.

It can also attach one's own intent to kill onto the opponent.

This process is silent and undetectable.

Once one's intent to kill is locked by my Life-taking Treasure Pill, there will always be a thread of Qi mechanism between us.

With this, not only can I detect their approach in advance, but I can also actively find their location through the connection of killing intents.

It's considered a superior method of tracking using Qi mechanism."

After pausing slightly, Meng Jiyue continued:

"Initially, considering the opponent's cultivation, attaching my intent to kill onto them seemed nearly impossible.

Firstly, it would be hard to break through their Realm.

Moreover, even if by luck you did break through their Realm, it would easily alert them.

But fortunately.

At the moment Junior Brother Ji severely injured them, I managed to attach a strand of killing intent onto them.

And it wasn't noticed.

If we indeed intend to make a move against Huanzhen, then now is definitely the best time.

After all, not only did you break his Golden Core Realm, but you also forced him to use the Substitute Tribulation Skill.

And using such a measure is not without a cost.

At the very least.

Before leaving this Shengtian Secret Realm and returning to his True Words Sect, he won't be able to recover completely."

"So that's how it is."

After hearing Meng Jiyue's explanation, Ji Haoyuan truly understood.

No wonder his senior sister said that they might have to rely on Meng Jiyue for this matter.

It turns out that this is the reason.

Indeed.

There are countless marvelous techniques in this world.

If you're not careful, you might fall into someone's strategy unexpectedly.

Without even being aware yourself.

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan immediately said to Meng Jiyue:

"Senior Sister Meng, can you sense Huanzhen's exact location or direction now?"

Meng Jiyue did not respond immediately but gently closed her eyes.

Soon, at the center of her forehead, a phantasmal apparition in black and white glimmered with a trace of gray Spirit Light.

From that gray Spirit Light, Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo faintly sensed a trace of killing intent extending in a certain direction.

Shortly after.

Meng Jiyue reopened her beautiful eyes.

She reached out her jade finger, pointing southeast.

"If my senses are correct, Huanzhen is likely in that direction.

And his distance from us seems not too far."

"Hmm...?"

Upon hearing Meng Jiyue's words, both Ji Haoyuan and Master Binghuo were taken aback.

What operation is the opponent performing by being not far from them?

Could it be, the opponent has some plan in mind?

Just as this thought flashed through their hearts.

In their Divine Thought's perception, many emaciated figures suddenly appeared, each exuding an extremely dense aura of death.

"What are those? Corpses!

No!

Not regular corpses, but all have reached the third-tier corpses!"

At this moment, whether it was Ji Haoyuan, Master Binghuo, or Meng Jiyue, they all instinctively had a thought in mind.

Those corpses couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere around them, even advancing quickly toward them.

There must be a human factor involved!

Almost instinctively, the three immediately realized that this matter might be related to Huanzhen.

As for the opponent's purpose, it's just as simple.

It's to use these corpses to interfere with Master Binghuo's refining of the Ice Evil Fire Lotus.

Because at this moment, they had already observed that among the emerging third-tier corpses, some had reached the latter stage of the third tier.

According to this scenario, had Master Binghuo's actions been slightly slower, it could indeed have affected her breakthrough.

Luckily.

The opponent did not know that Master Binghuo's speed in refining the Ice Evil Fire Lotus was evidently faster than anticipated.

And her speed in condensing the Golden Core Realm and achieving the late-Golden Core stage also exceeded the opponent's expectations.

The most important aspect was that throughout, Master Binghuo's Qi mechanism breakthrough had been kept within a certain range.

Unless someone like Ji Haoyuan and Meng Jiyue was right near Master Binghuo.

Otherwise, once outside a certain range, it was almost impossible to detect her Qi mechanism breakthrough.

"Senior Sister..."

Ji Haoyuan immediately looked at Master Binghuo.

Master Binghuo instantly understood Ji Haoyuan's intention.

The two shared a seamless cooperation as, at that instant, they both launched attacks on the third-tier late-stage corpses.

With a rumble!

Lightning surged around Ji Haoyuan as he conjured a Thunder Spear in his palm, which he thrust directly toward the corpse.

Meanwhile.

A fiery mark flickered between Master Binghuo's brows.

The next moment, raging flames erupted within a hundred-mile radius.

The reason for not using the Ice Attribute power.

The main reason was to avoid letting Huanzhen realize that she, Master Binghuo, had successfully broken through the late Golden Core stage.

With a boom!

The fierce thunder fire intertwined, instantly engulfing the form of the third-tier late-stage corpse.

Simultaneously, many third-tier corpses around were reduced to ashes.

Swoosh!

At that moment, Ji Haoyuan, carrying Meng Jiyue, dashed through the corpse group, heading straight southeast towards Huanzhen's location.

This time, he intended to hinder the opponent's escape completely, eliminating any chance they might have!
