Ji Yuan's expression remained calm on the surface, still entangled in combat with the Wei Family cultivator.

He propelled the Yin Claw of Transformation in his hand, conjuring numerous ghostly claws while throwing out two Thousand Sword Talismans, forcing the opponent to retreat step by step.

But in actuality...

Ji Yuan's heart was already in turmoil.

Why?

Because the Female Cultivator just transmitted a message to him.

He had been curious about her identity all along, but did not expect that, in the end, she was someone familiar!

How familiar?

Let me put it this way, familiar enough to have hugged each other, and among all the Female Cultivators Ji Yuan knows, the only one so close to him is Dong Qian.

Even though Du Wanyi and Phoenix Peach, Ji Yuan had never embraced them.

But why is Dong Qian here?

Though, months ago—no, it should be about half a year ago now—she did leave.

She didn't say where she was going.

But Ji Yuan never imagined she'd come here, disguised and transformed, even raising a Tier Three fox demon.

... All that would be fine, but what really surprised Ji Yuan was that Dong Qian could see through his disguise with a single glance!

Ji Yuan's Transformation Talisman was something even Golden Core Zhenrens couldn't see through.

Yet now Dong Qian managed to see through it.

Coupled with the secrets she holds and her previously seemingly inexhaustible supply of Spirit Stones, Ji Yuan couldn't help but form a daring speculation.

"Could Dong Qian be a Nascent Soul ancestor reincarnated to rebuild her cultivation?"

The reason why it's "also" is because Ji Yuan already knows several reincarnated cultivators, including Hua Yaoyue.

As soon as this bold idea emerged, Ji Yuan had another even bolder idea.

Because he recalled Hu Li mentioning there were tombs here.

Could it be... the one buried here is Dong Qian's past life?

Is that why she is desperately resisting here?

If true, she must have left something behind, otherwise, there's no reason for her to accompany the burial for her past life... wouldn't that make her rebirth meaningless?

Thoughts raced through Ji Yuan's mind rapidly, but his movements didn't cease.

Moreover, knowing Dong Qian was here, he instinctively exerted a little more force, causing the grey-robed cultivator, who had been evenly matched, to be pinned down immediately.

Feeling that his end was near, the grey-robed cultivator finally couldn't hold back and planned to use a killer move.

Spiritual Qi surged crazily towards him from all directions.

As a normal Demonic Cultivator, he naturally wanted to interrupt him at this time, but just as Ji Yuan prepared to advance, the grey-robed cultivator seemed ready for this, as a shadow darted out from his sleeve, aiming directly at Ji Yuan's neck.

Thus, Ji Yuan was naturally forced back by the sneak attack, temporarily evading the peril.

He then had the opportunity to use his Divine Sense to probe the actions of others.

His primary focus was naturally the fight between Dong Qian and Jiang Hong.

While still in the Water Dragon Sect, Ji Yuan knew Dong Qian's cultivation was at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment. Over the years since Foundation Establishment, she hadn't made any breakthroughs.

And now, witnessing her cultivation during the fight, it was still at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.

She didn't conceal her cultivation?

So now, as an initial stage Foundation Establishment cultivator facing Jiang Hong, who was late-stage Foundation Establishment, she was naturally pushed to the brink.

Not to mention Jiang Hong being the son of a Nascent Soul, with endless tactics.

Dong Qian was only struggling to defend herself with a white silk resembling a fox tail.

Next was Feng Xiuxiu and Wei Kun, Feng Xiuxiu... had great strength, although both were late-stage Foundation Establishment, she was overwhelmingly superior.

Wei Kun's demise is only a matter of time.

As for Hu Li... it's unclear whether he was intentionally guarding against Ji Yuan or it was unintentional.

He constantly stayed at the center of the battlefield.

No matter which direction Ji Yuan approached from, he couldn't directly get close.

People were always fighting around him; trying to get past to kill him would be too obvious.

'Certainly a survivor, this bastard, even at this time, he's still wary of me!'

Before Ji Yuan could investigate further, the grey-robed cultivator's killer move finally kicked in.

A massive earth-colored Dharma Seal condensed above Ji Yuan's head, pinning him down firmly. At the same time, countless Earth Technique Spikes emerged from the ground, aiming to encircle him from all directions, squeezing him in front and behind.

Facing a killer move from an initial stage Foundation Establishment, Ji Yuan, being mid-stage Foundation Establishment, naturally had to be extremely cautious in handling this.

First, he activated the Black Demon Armor he wore, then reluctantly fetched a Five Elements Protective Talisman Array from his Storage Bag to protect himself upfront.

Ji Yuan didn't dare to use any other righteous techniques.

Actually... for this mid-level Magic from an initial stage Foundation Establishment, Ji Yuan could withstand it unharmed, even without any defenses, relying on his Foundation Establishment physique alone.

"Die!"

The grey-robed cultivator roared, forming hand seals, as he fiercely pressed down with his right hand.

Thus, the Dharma Seal above Ji Yuan's head smashed down.

Unable to dodge, Ji Yuan was forced to take the blow head-on. Just as he was about to be completely struck down to the ground and touch the spikes, he managed to rebound with great difficulty, relying on the Talisman Array.

His figure was knocked flying, spewing several mouthfuls of blood mid-air.

Before landing, he seized the opportunity to transmit a message to Dong Qian, asking:

"How is it? Can you beat him?"

"Can't beat him."

Dong Qian replied while warding off the blade aura slashed by Jiang Hong:

"Junior Brother Ji, you must leave quickly. There is extreme danger here; Jiang Hong intends to kill everyone inside, and you are also on his hit list. Hurry and go!"
