Ye Mo still admired the thousand-bit monk for offering to block the spirit-devouring insect. The Spirit Devouring Insects were not ordinary things, and Ye Mo had seen how terrifying these things were. When he first saw the Spirit Devouring Insect was in the Ice God Forbidden Land, and these Spirit Devouring Insects coming out now were also in the Ice God Forbidden Land, Ye Mo reckoned that apart from the place he had exterminated, there must be another place where there were Spirit Devouring Insects, he just hadn’t found it.
So after he exterminated the Sand Soul Beasts, he had to go to support the monks at Vajra Temple as soon as possible.
With his own eyes, he saw nearly a hundred million Sand Soul Beasts gradually perishing under Ye Mo’s purple sèd blade light, and they were dissipating as fast as the naked eye could see. At the end of the day, Ye Mo even offered up endless thunder arcs out, all the cultivators of the Hopeful Clan had forgotten to marvel, and were even a little frightened. To them, the cultivation of City Master Ye of the City of Moons could no longer be described as heaven defying. No wonder the Thundercloud Sect and the Wuji Sect had perished, to have chosen such an opponent.
Half a day later, countless Sand Soul Beast corpses had accumulated, forming an unbroken mountain range. Ye Mo stood on top of this continuous mountain range of corpses and let out a slight breath. According to the last time he was inside the Demon Prison Forbidden Land, it would take him at least half a day to kill so many Sand Soul Beast corpses, but today he only needed a small half day to kill them all…. .
It was obvious that his Illusory Cloud Domain Killing Blade was becoming more and more powerful because there were fewer Sand Soul Beasts this time, and for his Illusory Cloud Eighth Blade, the fewer Sand Soul Beasts there were, the more time it took to kill them.
Only when the Hopeful Clan cultivators reacted did they realise that the Sand Soul Beasts had been killed underneath this endless purple aura and the Thunder Arc Sword.
As he watched the Hopeful Clan’s cultivators come over, Ye Mo put away the ‘Purple Sandblade’.
“Yu Jiyong of the Hopeful Clan meets City Master Ye, thank you for going out of your way to come to ……”
Ye Mo waved his hand and interrupted the cultivator who spoke in front of him, “It’s nothing, the Hopeful Clan has been here for many years, do you know where the yīn qi is heavier around here ……”
Ye Mo thought for half a day but could not think of a better word to describe it, so he had to say directly, “That means it can give birth to the same evil spirits as the Devil’s Prison Forbidden Land?”
The evil spirits appeared in the Devil’s Prison Forbidden Land, and it should be said that basically all the cultivators in the Southern An Continent already knew about it. Ye Mo believed. The cultivator from the Hopeful Clan in front of him should be able to understand what he meant.
The Sand Soul Beast had to breed and become alive. It relied on evil spirits, and the Sand Soul Beast devoured evil spirits to grow quickly, and it could also advance by devouring cultivators’ Yuan Shen. Ye Mo guessed that the Sand Soul Beast should like to cultivate and survive in places with heavy yīn qi, and to find the Sand Soul Beast’s lair, he had to find this place first.
The Patriarch of the Hopeful Clan, Yu Jiyong, did not expect Ye Mo’s first question to be so odd, he did not know how to answer for a while, he really did not know where the yīn qi was heavier. Besides. Even if the yīn qi was heavier, there couldn’t be any evil spirits. How powerful are evil spirits? Once there are evil spirits, what else can happen?
Yu Jiyong was anxious, and he did not know a question that City Master Ye asked him, if he knew the question. Immediately, he could make a great impression on City Master Ye.
“I know.” Just when the Hopeful Clan Patriarch was anxious, an abrupt voice helped him out.
Ye Mo’s heart was pleased, honestly, although he asked, he didn’t really have much hope, after all, a place with evil spirits, even if someone knew about it, it was impossible to bring the information out. How could one go into a place like that and still have a life to come out?
Almost all the people were attracted by these three words. But then they saw Du Xiuying stand out and bow to Ye Mo, “City Lord Ye. I know that place.”
What a beautiful female cultivator, Ye Mo was amazed to find that this female cultivator who spoke was not only beautiful. Moreover, her qualifications were not bad, and her age was estimated to be no older than Luo Ying, surprisingly, she was already at the fourth level of Void God cultivation.
However, what was strange to Ye Mo was that this female cultivator did not have a storage ring and only had a storage pouch hanging around her waist. A female cultivator with such good qualifications didn’t even have a storage ring? There was no way the Hopeful Clan could be this poor, right?
When Ye Mo then saw that the YuanYing cultivators and even the Jindan cultivators at the side all had storage rings, he knew that there was something special about this female cultivator.
He was just about to speak when he heard Du Xiuying bow in front of him once again and said, “Xiuying thanks the patriarch for his kindness in accepting me, although I am no longer a disciple of the Huanhuan Sect, Xiuying has always been grateful for the cultivation of the Huanhuan Sect.”
Yu Jiyong was uncomfortable, he was just about to say that Xiuying was a core disciple of the Huanhuan Sect, but Du Xiuying had said this in advance.
“You are Du Xiuying? One of the Ten Beauties of Nan’an?” Ye Mo knew of the Nan’an Ten Beauties, and the first name he heard was Du Xiuying. I didn’t expect to see her today, no wonder she was so beautiful. It was just that she sounded as if she had broken away from the Hopeful Clan.
When Du Xiuying saw that Ye Mo seemed to know her, she immediately replied with surprise, “Yes, City Master Ye.”
Seeing that he had nothing to please Ye Mo, Yu Jiyong hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Yes, yes, City Master Ye. Xiuying has always been a disciple of my Hopeful Clan, but before, because the Sand Soul Beast suddenly attacked, she thought she would surely die, which is why she left the Hopeful Clan. Now that the Sand Soul Beast has receded, she can return to the Hopeful Clan again at any time.”
Du Xiuying pursed her lips, but did not dare to retort. Everyone knew that she simply didn’t want to return to the Hopeful Clan again, but the Patriarch had chosen to say so. Saying against leaving the Hopeful Clan in front of City Master Ye, City Master Ye would definitely immediately become extremely disgusted with her. Even because of this, there was no way for her to leave the Hopeful Clan again. If she stayed again, what awaited her would definitely not be the same kind of treatment and status as before, and with her special physique, she might be reduced to what happened to an outer disciple.
The outer disciples in the Huanhuan Sect, whether they were male or female cultivators, had to accompany the inner disciples of the Huanhuan Sect whenever they wanted to double cultivate. Du Xiuying who understood this reasoning did not retort, she was waiting for Ye Mo to let her lead the way, as long as she left the Hopeful Sect, she would not return.
Ye Mo sneered in his heart, he wouldn’t care about this kind of crap, but this Patriarch of the Hopeful Clan was simply treating him like a fool, which made him extremely upset. How many things had he experienced? He understood such words as soon as he heard them.
It wasn’t like Du Xiuying was an idiot to break away from the Hopeful Clan when she was on her deathbed? She had chosen to break away from the Hopeful Clan before she died, she must have just been unable to do so before for whatever reason. If Yu Jiyong did not squeeze Du Xiuying in front of him, he would not have bothered to say much, and at most let Du Xiuying lead the way.
However, Yu Jiyong dared to squeeze Du Xiuying in front of him, making Ye Mo angry. He dared to use him, this Yu Jiyong really had the guts to do so.
Ye Mo said in a light voice, “Since you are not a disciple of the Hopeful Clan anymore, then come with me.”
“Yes.” Surprise flashed in Du Xiuying’s eyes, obviously hearing that Ye Mo was helping her, and after answering without hesitation, she immediately walked out from the crowd of the Hopeful Clan.
Yu Jiyong let out a cold sweat of fear when he heard Ye Mo’s tone turn cold, he had squeezed Du Xiuying and hadn’t really thought of using Ye Mo. Only now did he remember how foolish he had been and hurriedly tried to apologize to Ye Mo, but Ye Mo didn’t even bother to pay attention to him, casually taking up Du Xiuying as the Green Moon turned into a green mane and had disappeared.
……
“Many thanks to City Master Ye.” Of course Du Xiuying was not a fool, Yu Jiyong had angered Ye Mo and Ye Mo had directly taken himself away, could she not see that?
Ye Mo waved his hand and said, “No need, tell me where that place with the evil spirits is?”
Du Xiuying nodded, “I’m not sure if that place is the place Ye Chengmao is looking for, but that place is indeed extremely heavy with yīn qi, I don’t dare to go in at all.”
“Tell me the details carefully first, I’ll talk about it later after I’ve gone to see it.” Ye Mo said in a very dry manner.
Du Xiuying said after just a slight pause, “Back then, when I was only thirteen, my parents were chased by an enemy family and both died at the Spiny Ridge. Just when I was about to be humiliated and killed by my enemies, my righteous father suddenly rushed out from inside the glacial river.”
Speaking here, Du Xiuying apologetically explained to Ye Mo, “I didn’t know my righteous father at that time, only that my righteous father, when he saw that man was about to inflict violence on me, a thirteen year old girl, immediately became furious and killed that man after fighting him to the death. But my righteous father had never practised true religion; he practised ancient martial arts. The man he killed was already at the fourth level of Qi cultivation. After killing him and helping me bury my parents, my righteous father was injured by the yīn qi when he was taking me out of the Spiny Ridge, and he never recovered afterwards, pa*sing away a year later.”
Ye Mo did not expect that Du Xiuying’s life was still so difficult, he nodded and asked, “The place you are taking me to, is it the place where your righteous father was injured?”
“Yes. ” Du Xiuying immediately replied, “After my righteous father was injured by yīn qi, he was unable to take me away at all. Although I was very young, I also knew that the Ruins Ridge was not a place to stay for a long time, so I carried my righteous father away on my back. But I was too young to carry my father on my back, and at this time, an enemy came looking for me. Just as my father and I were about to be killed, I met my master. My master saved me and my father and brought us to the Hopeful Clan. But righteous father’s yīn cold had entered his body and even my master could not save him.”
“Your righteous father died a year later?” Ye Mo suddenly felt that something was not right and immediately asked.
Du Xiuying gave a hmph, “Yes, it’s just that righteous father called my master in before he died, he must let my master cremate him with internal fire the moment he died. My master still agreed to what my righteous father said and cremated my righteous father with internal fire before he died.”
Ye Mo instead sighed in relief and nodded, “Your righteous father should be a very remarkable person.”
He had already guessed that Du Xiuying’s righteous father should have been invaded by some yīn evil, according to reason Du Xiuying’s righteous father wouldn’t have lasted a year at all. If he could hold on for a year, there must be something pending in his mind. Another one, he was able to have Du Xiuying’s master cremate him instantly when he couldn’t hold on, just because he was afraid that the yīn evil would plague Du Xiuying again.
“You and your righteous father came out of the Broken Thorn Ridge together, why didn’t anything happen to you?” Ye Mo looked at Du Xiuying suspiciously and asked again.
