Ye Shikai's actions may seem cruel, but who can claim to be completely kind in the world of cultivation? If Ye Shikai didn't have immense power, these people might have long since ganged up to seize the treasures, rather than wasting so many words. These people are originally wolves, showing ferocious faces when faced with "fat meat," but when they become the "fat meat," these "wolves" don a layer of sheep's clothing to show pity. But now, they must pay the price.

The flames immediately engulfed a person, and although that person fought desperately, they were no match for the power of the Fire Element. After a few seconds of screams, there was one more "charcoal" on the ground.

This time, Li Mansion was infuriated; in the territory of Chang'an, no one dared to humiliate them like this, let alone an outsider. However, strength is ultimately strength, and even if they all attacked together, they were no match for the Netherworld Palace. Ye Shikai could only hope not to encounter the Family Head of Li Mansion afterwards, or else a bloody battle would be inevitable.

"So, have you made up your mind?" Ye Shikai shouted loudly. He could see the anger in the hearts of those before him, but he was certain that no one would dare to stand out as the leader; they could only wait for Li Yueying's command.

At this moment, Li Yueying's face was cold. She was currently in the mid-stage of Soul Emergence, already the strongest force among the accompanying elders and guards. But honestly, she didn't think she could withstand three moves from Ye Shikai. This person not only had the strength of early-stage Divine Separation but also had so many treasures. Looking at his followers, each exuded murderous intent. She knew Netherworld Palace well; in the foreign Underworld, they were "rampant and arrogant," defiant but also indicating that no one dared to provoke them.

Even though they were about the same age, Ye Shikai had no family backing, so how could he have such powerful inner strength? Li Yueying began to be curious. She was considered a talent in her family, but even now, she was only mid-stage Soul Emergence. Could it be... Ye Shikai had a mysterious mentor? It's not impossible. Chen Yuxin was his newlywed wife, so he must have connections with the Chen family, perhaps even a disciple of Chen Yaogzu.

"Family Head Ji, aren't you going to do something?" Li Yueying could only try to pull in the Ji Family. If the Ji Family could come forward as mediators, there might be a chance for a turnaround. Although the Ji Family hadn't participated the whole time, if Li Mansion learned that the Ji Family stood by idly, they probably wouldn't let it go easily either.

"This matter is not for the Ji Family to manage." Ji Tao said coldly, thus clearing relations with Li Yueying.

"So, Miss Li, take your people and go ahead." Just as Ye Shikai expected, the Ji Family wouldn't actively invite disaster; at least for now, Ji Tao was maintaining neutrality, offending neither side.

"Hmph, Ye Shikai, we'll see." Li Yueying glared at him viciously. Under duress, she had no choice. The elders and guards of Li Mansion, seeing the young lady heading forward, could only quickly follow.

"Let's go."

"Wuyan, I didn't expect you to come." Ji Qian looked at the woman before her and smiled slightly. It seemed that this time they had truly turned misfortune into fortune.

At the Worm Sect, she once crossed paths with Wuyan, but after the misunderstanding was cleared up, the two shook hands and made peace. The most crucial thing was that with the connection of Ye Shikai, the two women could cooperate.

There was one thing that greatly shocked Ji Qian; Wuyan brought only two disciples, without even a guard.

"The information network of the Worm Sect is far more formidable than you can imagine. The news of the opening of Bai Qi's Relics is known throughout the Huaxia cultivation families and sects; how could I not know?" Wuyan said lightly, turning to look at the Moon Guards beside Ji Qian, who were injured and infused with Death Qi, filled with sorrow. The skin on their bodies showed signs of festering and turning pale.

"Put these on their wounds." Wuyan took out a bamboo tube from her bosom and instructed the two disciples behind her.

"Yes, Sect Leader." The disciples opened the stopper of the bamboo tube, and several small black worms jumped out. They looked a bit like beetles but somewhat frightening, especially to most girls who were naturally terrified of insects; this was simply a nightmare.

Although the Moon Guards were puzzled, seeing Ji Qian consent, and having Death Qi in their bodies, they had no other option, watching the disciples place the insects on their wounds.

"What are these?"

"Corpse Worms," Wuyan explained, "The relics are filled with Death Qi, and once it enters the body, with no solution, one could only await death. These Corpse Worms, born within decaying corpses, survive by absorbing Death Qi. Now they are sucking the Death Qi from these people's bodies. Soon, they will be out of danger."

"How do you have such things?"

"Don't forget, I'm the Sect Leader of the Worm Sect; this is just a small thing." Wuyan smiled, "By the way, why isn't Ye Shikai by your side? Ordinarily, you should be together. Oh right, I almost forgot, he has a new flame now..."

"Actually, here is what happened." After Ji Qian explained the situation to Wuyan in detail, she couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, the two of them ended up separated, and she didn't know how things were on his side.

"Don't worry; he won't be in trouble," Wuyan said confidently.

"Why is that?"

"Because... because a sage gave him a reading; this time in the relics, he will turn misfortune into fortune, and so he obviously won't have any trouble."

"Then I wish for your words to come true." Ji Qian nodded, "Since you're here, why don't we go together?"

"Alright, anyway, I'm bored on the road; having someone to chat with isn't bad."

Yanjing.

In the middle of the night, Su Qingyu suddenly sat up from the bed. Having nightmares wasn't uncommon, but ever since marrying Ye Shikai, she rarely had such "fierce" nightmares, waking her up with a fright, her body drenched in cold sweat.

In the dream, she dreamed of herself and Ye Shikai being chased by a group of people, running into a forest. The pursuers grew in number, and Ye Shikai was severely injured. At that time, in the dream, she was extremely frightened and was unable to help Ye Shikai. In the end, she saw a figure rush over, stabbing Ye Shikai with a sword, watching him struggle on the ground in a dying state. But she didn't see clearly who the figure in the dream was, and then she awoke with a jolt.

Taking out her phone, Su Qingyu found the number, hesitated a bit, and still dialed it.

Sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area.
