Certainly, when Deng Pinghai heard the person in front of him claim his name, he was somewhat shocked.

Out here, still daring to not change his name or alter his identity?

Furthermore, judging by his demeanor, he's not using a fake name, it's his real name... Most importantly, he dares to call himself a Demon Cultivator!

Are Foundation Establishment Cultivators at the early stage this fearless now?!

Deng Pinghai, feeling he himself is a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, wouldn't dare be so arrogant! Especially in the territory of the orthodox sects, Demon Cultivators have to be discreet.

"Fellow Daoist... such courage!"

Deng Pinghai looked at the man with a full beard earnestly and said, "I am a Loose Cultivator from Great Love City, Deng Pinghai."

Ji Yuan outwardly sneered, while inwardly calculating the intentions of the Demon Cultivator before him, contemplating whether he could instantly kill him if a fight broke out later.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, a bit tricky indeed.

"Seems like we have some fated connection, gathering here is like two seas meeting."

Ji Yuan waved his long sleeve and sat down nearby.

Though he was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he seemed more imposing than the mid-stage counterpart before him.

Deng Pinghai followed and sat down, gesturing with his hand, prompting Wu Yunbo to quickly serve wine and food.

"If you ask me, Brother Qiu isn't looking to go to Ghost Seeking Cave, but rather seeking shelter from a power," Deng Pinghai chuckled.

Ji Yuan didn't want to be led by the nose, so he asked back, "Which force is Daoist Deng with?"

Deng Pinghai appeared slightly stunned, not speaking further.

Until Wu Yunbo came from the back kitchen with wine and food... Ji Yuan pointed at him and said, "Go on, tell your Leader Deng who I am."

"If we can talk, we talk; if not, we part ways."

"Damn it, I'm a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator, afraid no one would want me!"

Ji Yuan said as he stepped on the chair, first picking up the Spirit Wine from the table to sniff, making a face of disgust and saying, "What is this stuff, smells like horse piss."

Then he took out a Spirit Wine reinforced by the Wine Cellar from his Storage Bag.

As he peeled off the sealing clay, a rich aroma instantly permeated the air.

Deng Pinghai sniffed the scent and his eyes brightened immediately.

Next to him, Wu Yunbo quickly introduced Ji Yuan's identity, saying he was brought here by a close friend, assuring his identity was reliable and so forth.

After listening to this, Deng Pinghai pondered for a while, appearing to be considering.

After much thought, he removed the ghost mask from his face, revealing his original appearance, saying, "Given the current situation, I believe Brother Qiu is aware, hence our caution, hope you'll forgive us."

After saying this, he stood up, bowing to Ji Yuan, putting on a very proper demeanor.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan gave face, removed his foot from the chair, and casually returned the gesture with a bow.

"Situation? What situation? All I see is our Demon Dao about to march east from Shang Mountain, unifying the entire Cangluo Continent!"

"By then, those so-called orthodox people will have to act lowly when they see us, like dogs!"

Hearing Ji Yuan's words, Deng Pinghai's breathing got a bit rapid, but quickly calmed down, sitting back down.

"Looks like Brother Qiu knows quite a lot."

"If I knew little, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

Ji Yuan said, tossing the wine jug in his hand over, the other caught it instinctively, thought for a moment, but still poured himself a bowl.

To drink the wine offered by someone upon first meeting showed a measure of trust.

Whether he had taken an Antitoxic Pill beforehand, that was unknown.

Deng Pinghai raised the bowl of wine, drinking it in one go, then wiped the corner of his mouth.

Ji Yuan continued observing him, deducing from this action that Deng Pinghai was probably one of those Foundation Establishment Cultivators who rose from humble beginnings, otherwise, he wouldn't drink like this.

If so, caution is warranted... those who rise from obscurity are never simple.

"Not hiding from Brother Qiu, we are not people from Ghost Seeking Cave, we are from Great Love City."

"Great Love City?"

Ji Yuan was slightly surprised, then immediately guessed something, "The Loose Cultivators of Great Love City... have banded together?"

"Indeed."

Deng Pinghai smiled and nodded, "So Brother Qiu, if you have thoughts of finding a power, I think joining our Great Love Sect is more fitting."

Ji Yuan didn't rush to reply but rubbed the wine bowl, and then lifted the wine jug to pour himself a bowl but didn't drink it... because Deng Pinghai had touched the jug.

"Joining your Great Love Sect... waiting to be pursued by Joy Palace?"

Ji Yuan slowly said.

Hearing these words, the smile on Deng Pinghai's face immediately vanished.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan knew he had probably hit the nail on the head.

The Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivators from Great Love City gathered together and formed a power called Great Love Sect, right under the nose of Joy Palace; can Joy Palace tolerate this?

So being hunted down is almost a certainty.

"It's just temporary, and it's not being hunted down, well, to be honest with Brother Qiu, we are about to infiltrate Ghost Seeking Cave, if you want a share of the pie, then join us, if not, forget it."

Deng Pinghai opened his arms, speaking directly and freely.

Ji Yuan furrowed his brows, feeling things weren't that simple.

The Great Love Sect wants to infiltrate Ghost Seeking Cave, is it to eliminate one of the factions inside, or to occupy a new territory, turning Ghost Seeking Cave into five factions?

Moreover, he says Great Love Sect being hunted is just temporary, judging from his tone, as if not caring about it at all.

Could it be that Joy Palace's pursuit of Great Love Sect is actually fake?

Ji Yuan couldn't fathom it, so he didn't rush to speak.
