树下

The little guy frowned as he looked at the group of people and said:

"It seems that many of the restrictions within the dojo have been lifted, otherwise how could so many people have gotten in?"

"Are there any restrictions?"

Ci Ning was somewhat puzzled, as the entire journey through this dojo had been unimpeded except for the Heavenly Ladder.

The little guy looked at her as if she were an idiot and said:

"Would I be stuck here forever without me?!"

It paused for a moment, then continued:

"Could it be that the guardian spirit of the mountain has perished?"

Ci Ning was taken aback. "What is a Mountain Guardian Spirit?"

Just as the little guy was about to explain, Qin Huaiyu quickly reached out to stop him.

"Stop talking, they're here!"

The two looked up and saw that the group had already moved closer to the outer edge of the pool.

"These people have ill intentions!" Youlong said coldly.

Qin Huaiyu knew perfectly well that with the Purple Essence Fruit, these people would not let it go easily.

The one named Hua Jiang was the most active. Although it was unclear what he had said to the others, it was obvious that he was up to no good.

This is confiscating the fruit; if it were confiscated, that guy would definitely be the first to stop it.

"Brother, should we make the first move and wipe them all out?" Youlong asked again.

Qin Huaiyu waved his hand, "No rush, let's see what they're going to do first!"

Among these people, it's unknown whether there are other hidden generals yet to reveal themselves. We must not act rashly, lest the other side catch us off guard and leave us in a passive position.

"Fellow Daoist, we meet again!" Xia Qing spoke first.

Qin Huaiyu raised an eyebrow and sneered:

"Ah, young lady, you've arrived just in time!"

Xia Qing could easily understand the implied meaning, and she explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I was just saying hello and didn't have any special intentions."

"Yeah!"

Qin Huaiyu pointed at Hua Jiang and the others, and said:

"What do they mean by that? They're all eyeing us like tigers, their greed written all over their faces."

"Fellow Daoist, this has nothing to do with me. They are them, and I am me. We are just traveling together for a while, and there is no other relationship between us."

As if to prove herself, Xia Qing deliberately kept her distance from the others.

Qian Yuan, who was not far away, also silently distanced himself from this scene.

He's just a bystander, not someone who wants to become the next victim. He needs to be prepared to observe the situation calmly.

"Blood-Clad Fairy, what is your intention?"

Hua Jiang's face darkened. Such blatant attempts to distance themselves from him truly showed that they didn't take him seriously.

This is undoubtedly the greatest insult to one's self-esteem!

Xia Qing frowned slightly, looking quite impatient, and said:

"Isn't it obvious? We're not even acquaintances, so naturally we need to draw a clear line. How can you not understand such a simple principle!"

Hmph, you dare to act recklessly without even knowing the details? You're an idiot! And you think you can drag me down with you? You're not worthy!

"well!"

Hua Jiang was furious, his face turning red, but he dared not retaliate.

Qin Huaiyu alone is troublesome enough; if they were to provoke the Blood-Clad Fairy as well, even if they joined forces with several others, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing the attitudes of both sides, Qin Huaiyu understood the situation.

It seems they really aren't in cahoots; we need to change our attitude.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate and clasped his hands in a fist and said:

"I misunderstood you, young lady. I apologize."

"It's okay. We've come this far together, and anyone would have doubts."

Xia Qing smiled. As expected of a leader in the literary world, she was truly intelligent. She immediately divided people with her words, making the adversarial relationship clear.

Upon hearing this, Qin Huaiyu didn't say anything more. He turned his head to look at Hua Jiang's group and said:

"You all should know what the order of arrival is, right? It's far too presumptuous of you to be spying on my things like this."

"Your stuff, huh!"

Hua Jiang snorted coldly and said:

"Literary leader, Qin Huaiyu, is that it? Don't be naive. Everything within the dojo is ownerless, and treasures belong to the virtuous. How did they become yours!"

"That's right, everyone who sees it should get a share, why should you get to monopolize it!"

"We know you are exceptionally strong, but one person's strength is ultimately limited, especially since you brought three useless people with you. If you know what's good for you, give up your position, or don't blame us for being impolite!" a burly man shouted.

"With skinny legs, who are you calling trash? You're asking for it!"

When had the little guy, a top-tier ancient beast, ever been insulted like this? He was immediately enraged, his golden and black fur bristled, and he made a move to attack.

Meanwhile, Youlong was also unsettled. The thousands of generals under the command of the mighty General You were being called trash.

It was truly a case of "the uncle can tolerate it, but the aunt can't." His old face darkened, and he looked like he was about to explode.

Damn, don't be impulsive!

Upon seeing this, Qin Huaiyu immediately raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't move!"

"What are you doing? Didn't you hear what he said?!" the little guy glared angrily.

"Wait a moment, there are some things I need to confirm." Qin Huaiyu emphasized his tone, fearing that his intimidation might not be enough.

Upon hearing this, Yi Hu and Yi Hun reluctantly suppressed their anger.

Qin Huaiyu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head, his eyes sharp as he looked at Hua Jiang and the others, and said:

"Are you sure you want to judge based on morality?"

"So what if it is!" Hua Jiang said arrogantly.

Qin Huaiyu's brows twitched slightly, an idea forming in his mind. He feigned seriousness and said:

"Did you obtain the consent of the ghostly race here?"

"A ghost spirit?"

Upon hearing this, the group looked at each other, all with blank expressions.

Hua Jiang looked around suspiciously, and seeing no one suspicious, he quickly said:

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This is definitely just a bluff. You are all cultivators; have you ever heard of a Nether Spirit race?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense. This is definitely just a bluff. You are all cultivators; have you ever heard of a Nether Spirit race?"

"I have read through all the works of ancient and modern times, and I believe I have read them all, yet I have never heard of any so-called 'spirit' or 'evil spirit'."

"Indeed, I have traveled to many regions and encountered many strange creatures, but what is a phantom spirit? I have never even heard of it!"

"That's right, this must be a delaying tactic he came up with."

On the other side, Xia Qing frowned slightly. Qin Huaiyu didn't seem like someone who would lie casually, but what was a Youjing? Why had she never heard of it before?

Furthermore, since entering the ancient land, we haven't encountered any unfamiliar tribes along the way!

Aside from encountering dead people and inexplicable eerie energy...

wrong!

...Yin energy!

As if remembering something, she quickly turned her head, her captivating eyes fixed on the fleeting figure among the four.

Seeing the state of the others, Qin Huaiyu instantly relaxed.

These people have no idea about the Netherworld Spirits, which means there isn't another Netherworld Spirit among them.

You're worrying unnecessarily!

Having gotten the answer he wanted, he decided not to waste any more time and said directly:

"Since you are all so certain, then let the person in question greet you."

"Speak," Qin Huaiyu said, looking at Youlong. "Brother, as the commander of the Youjing, you handle the rest."

Upon hearing this, Hua Jiang burst into laughter, "Haha, a ghost spirit, a commander? It's neither human nor ghost..."

But before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped, his smile froze on his face, and his eyes stared incredulously ahead.

The figure that had been drifting like a ghost just moments before had vanished.

The others noticed it too, and their expressions changed drastically.

Where are they?!

"Where did you go?!"

The strong, muscular man looked terrified and shouted:

Stop playing tricks and show yourself if you've got the guts.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind swept by, followed by a chilling voice from behind him.

"I'm here!"

The muscular man's pupils dilated instantly, but before he could turn around, his body froze, his breathing stopped, and his pupils became unfocused.

"Bang"

With a thud, the figure landed on the ground.
