"Wh... what?!"

Ye Zhiqiu was somewhat flustered upon hearing this.

Ji Yuan, standing at the very back, could clearly see her jump a little, nearly ready to bolt away.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Wailing Wanderer cursed.

The Thousand Blood Demon seemed unwilling to give up, continuing, "The battle just ended, and she immediately asks you for benefits, moreover, to help some newbie, asking for your benefits. Isn't that betraying you?"

"And she's being so disrespectful. Such a person, what's the point in keeping her around if not to eat her?"

The veins on Wailing Wanderer's forehead twitched, as if suppressing something.

"I said, you are not allowed to eat!"

"But I want to eat..."

The Thousand Blood Demon's voice sounded a bit aggrieved.

"You wretched thing! After a big battle, out of my 8 subordinates, only 3 remain, and now you've revealed your identity, yet you still want to eat. Eat all you want, how am I supposed to hold my ground in this Ghost Seeking Cave!"

Wailing Wanderer nearly roared as he spoke.

But these words... seemed a bit off?

It seemed he was worried that if Ye Zhiqiu was eaten, there would be no one left to manage this Ghost Seeking Cave for him, not out of any personal feelings.

In other words, as long as there was someone else to manage this Ghost Seeking Cave, he would be willing to let Ye Zhiqiu be consumed by the Blood Demon.

Ji Yuan figured this out, and naturally, the other two did as well.

The three of them exchanged glances in tacit understanding, without speaking, taking a step back in unison.

"Are you cursing me?"

The Blood Demon lifted its fan-like hand, pointing at itself seriously, "Did you call me wretched?"

"I..."

Wailing Wanderer wanted to speak.

But the Blood Demon had already pressed its hand on his head, "Do you really think you can still control me?"

With those words, Wailing Wanderer suddenly turned into black mist and dispersed.

The Blood Demon clenched its hand hard, as if trying to crush Wailing Wanderer's head.

Unfortunately, it grabbed nothing but air.

Wailing Wanderer, transformed into dense smoke, drifted all around, shouting angrily, "Are you mad, killing me, what good does it do for you!"

The Blood Demon laughed, "Heh heh heh, killing you means no one else dares to stand over me, that's the greatest advantage."

"I see you're set on dying!"

Wailing Wanderer was furious, though no one knew what method he used, the Blood Demon suddenly howled in pain, clutching its head.

Ye Zhiqiu, who was standing nearby, transmitted to Deng Pinghai and Ji Yuan, "Run!"

But when she turned around, she found Ji Yuan had already run away far in the distance.

Subsequently, the two of them dispersed towards the east and west, not daring to linger at this Divine Eagle Palace any longer.

Ji Yuan had to run, and while running, he injected Spiritual Qi into the Talisman Treasure Shuttle inside his Storage Bag, ready to escape at any moment.

Just as he reached the foot of the mountain, preparing to move, he suddenly received a transmission.

"Fellow Taoist, over here, over here."

The voice was sneaky, not like that of a righteous person.

Ji Yuan immediately scanned with his Divine Sense, discovering to the north a very weak presence.

A small, thin man wrapped in a burial shroud, with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"Hurry, follow me, we're on the same side."

The man continued to transmit.

Ji Yuan remained unmoved, but just as he was about to pull out his Talisman Treasure and make a run for it, the man spoke again, causing Ji Yuan to stop abruptly.

Because he transmitted, "I'm also a descendant of the Yin Ghost Sect, we are on the same side, trustworthy!"

Yin... Ghost Sect?

Ji Yuan didn't immediately react upon hearing it, as he was only familiar with the words Yin Ghost.

After a second thought, he remembered that these Yin Ghosts were indeed obtained from the legacy of the Yin Ghost Sect.

What about this Yin Ghost Sect?

This was an incident Ji Yuan encountered while in Zengtou City.

At the time, it wasn't for upgrading the Chicken Cage, but for upgrading the Pigsty, requiring the Rot Bone Flower, which took a long search to finally find at the Ghost Island Master's place.

After a considerable effort, he successfully eliminated the Ghost Island Master, thereby obtaining the two Yin Ghosts along with the Yin Ghost Banner.

Ji Yuan recalled being deceived by the Ghost Island Master then... more precisely, it was mutual deception.

Because at the time, Ji Yuan deceived him by claiming to be a cultivator of the Yin Ghost Sect.

And now, in this faraway Ghost Seeking Cave, he actually encountered another cultivator claiming to be from the Yin Ghost Sect.

This suggests the legacy of the Yin Ghost Sect might be quite significant... passed through Ji Yuan's mind.

The man, thinking Ji Yuan didn't believe him, then revealed a wisp of aura.

Ji Yuan recognized it immediately as the aura of the Yin Ghost Banner he possessed.

This person indeed hailed from the Yin Ghost Sect!

Therefore, Ji Yuan transmitted back, his voice changing, "Senior brother, with that Blood Demon on the mountaintop, what should we do?!"

The man, hearing this, knew Ji Yuan believed him and was overjoyed, quickly saying:

"Junior brother, don't panic, I have a way, follow me."

Saying this, the man turned and walked northward.

This time, Ji Yuan hesitated no longer, promptly following behind.

Finding the Yin Ghost Sect here of all places, he surely had to see if there was any benefit to gain, at the very least getting some information about the Yin Ghost Sect would be worthwhile.

Comparing the two, dealing with a cultivator at the late-stage Foundation Establishment, Ji Yuan reckoned he could manage a few exchanges.

Better than facing that Blood Demon.

The two moved one behind the other, maintaining a distance of several dozen yards.

Whenever Ji Yuan sped up, this descendant of the Yin Ghost Sect would also speed up; when Ji Yuan lagged, he too would slow his pace.
