Not long after Qin Ran returned to the hotel, he received a message from Ji Ruyan.

The other party informed me that they would arrive in Linhai tomorrow.

Qin Ran sent her the location of the hotel he was in.

Tell her to come directly to the hotel tomorrow.

The following morning, Ji Ruyan went to the hotel.

At this moment, Qin Ran was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

Compared to last time, Ji Ruyan changed into casual clothes.

She looks no different from any other woman now.

Outsiders could not tell that she was a demonic cultivator.

Qin Ran also thought the woman was quite attractive.

If she weren't a demonic cultivator, I could be friends with her.

After they met, Ji Ruyan asked, "What exactly did you call me to Linhai for?"

"Ji Ruyan, I am your master now. Is this how you speak to your master?"

"My dear master, what brings you to Linhai? Is this alright?" Ji Ruyan asked Qin Ran.

"Let's talk in my room."

Ji Ruyan looked around and spotted several suspicious-looking people.

"Someone is secretly watching you."

"I noticed this last night. Ignore these people and come with me."

Qin Ran knew that the people monitoring him were probably sent by Qin Sihai.

He didn't care about these people at all, and didn't want to pay them any attention.

Afterwards, Qin Ran and Ji Ruyan turned around and went into the hotel.

They arrived at Qin Ran's room.

The Ma brothers are here too.

"Let me introduce you. These two are my friends, Ma Jisong and Ma Jitao. They are exorcists from the Ma family."

The Ma brothers looked at Ji Ruyan.

She wasn't dressed like this at the last Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects.

Often, fate plays tricks on us.

Last time at the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Sects, Qin Ran and Ji Ruyan were about to fight to the death.

Now Qin Ran has become Ji Ruyan's master.

Ji Ruyan glanced at the Ma brothers, then her gaze fell on Qin Ran: "Can we talk now?"

"I called you here today to ask you to help me destroy the Chaos Demonic Essence Array."

Upon hearing about the Chaos Demonic Yuan Array, Ji Ruyan frowned sharply.

The Chaos Demonic Essence Array is an even more terrifying existence than the Chaos Demonic Essence Stone.

"Have you seen the Chaos Demonic Yuan Array?" Ji Ruyan asked.

Qin Ran nodded: "I came to Linhai this time with the Ma brothers to exorcise demons. This village is called Yongshou Village. We all thought it was just a simple job."

"Later we discovered that everyone in this village was a demonic cultivator, and there was a Chaos Demonic Essence Array beneath the village. These villagers cultivated using the Chaos Demonic Essence Array."

Ji Ruyan was even more surprised.

Qin Ran actually discovered the Chaos Demonic Essence Array.

Even she had never seen the Chaos Demonic Yuan Array.

She used to cultivate in the Yama Palace using Chaos Demon Stones.

Her master had mentioned the Chaos Demonic Essence Array to her.

Those are cultivation resources that only high-level demonic cultivators deserve.

At this moment, Ji Ruyan also wanted to know the origins of the demonic cultivators in this village.

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Qin Ran sneered: "Is it that you can't help, or that you don't want to help? Don't forget..."

"You don't need to keep emphasizing that you are my master. I really can't help you because I've never seen the Chaos Demonic Array before."

Qin Ran was somewhat surprised: "As the Palace Master of Yama Palace, how come you haven't seen the Chaos Demon Essence Array before?"

"The Lord of the Yama Palace is just an insignificant claw in the demonic path. However, my master told me that the Chaos Demonic Essence Array is a cultivation resource that only high-level demonic cultivators can possess. All I'm using is the Chaos Demonic Essence Stone," Ji Ruyan said seriously.

Qin Ran stared intently at Ji Ruyan.

He had previously placed a curse inside Ji Ruyan's body.

He can clearly see what the other person is thinking.

After checking, Qin Ran found that the other party was not lying.

It seems this plan is going to fail.

"Have you seen your master since we parted ways at Qingfeng Tower?" Qin Ran asked.

"Not yet, he hasn't come looking for me."

Qin Ran nodded: "It seems that calling you here this time won't be of any help whatsoever."

Ji Ruyan replied, "You're right. I've never even seen the Chaos Demonic Essence Array before, how would I know how to break it?"

"Based on your description, you should not provoke the people in this village anymore. The place where they live has a Chaos Demonic Yuan Array, which is definitely not a coincidence."

"They should be a group of high-level demonic cultivators, or have close ties with high-level demonic cultivators. If you go there rashly, you won't get away with it."

Qin Ran was very unhappy after hearing this.

But Ji Ruyan did not exaggerate.

If he cannot break the Chaos Demonic Yuan Array, he will be unable to kill those demonic cultivators.

There would be risks if he brought the Ma brothers with him.

Qin Ran then changed his plans.

I'll be heading back to Xi'an this afternoon.

After returning, continue cultivating the second part of the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique.

Then they continued searching for a way to break the Chaos Demon Array.

"That's all for now, we'll head back to Xijing this afternoon."

"If you have nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Ji Ruyan, don't forget our agreement. From now on, you must come whenever I call you." Qin Ran looked at Ji Ruyan.

"Last time, I was afraid you would kill me, so I agreed to be your slave. You also tampered with me. Now I want to tell you that I am actually of no use to you at all," Ji Ruyan said.

Why do you say that?

Ji Ruyan replied seriously, "The Demonic Path is an organized and disciplined evil force; they are not as simple as you think."

"Take me for example. You want me to find out about the demonic path, but I can't find out any information at all."

"My only superior is my mentor. After all these years, I don't even know his exact name, nor do I know where he is."

"Every time there's a mission, he's the one who comes to Yama Palace to find me. I only see him a few times a year."

"My appearance at the Ten Thousand Sects Conference last time was at my master's behest, and the people I brought were also assigned to me by him."

"Although he didn't come to see me again after that, it doesn't mean he doesn't know my current situation."

"He might have known about our deal all along. In his eyes, I betrayed him. To put it simply, I could lose my life at any moment."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful after hearing this.

He originally thought Ji Ruyan was a pawn he could use.

Now it seems this person is completely useless.

Ji Ruyan's analysis just now was also her true feeling.

Qin Ran was pondering how to deal with this woman.

This woman is truly neither appealing nor worth discarding.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

"How about this, you come back to Xijing with me, and you can stay in Xijing from now on. You said last time that your hometown is Xijing."

"You want to keep me by your side?" Ji Ruyan asked.

"right?"

"Aren't you afraid my master might suddenly appear?"

Qin Ran shook his head: "Don't be afraid. You are mine now, and you should stay by my side and obey my orders."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you," Ji Ruyan said with a playful expression.

It's 10 PM.

Qin Ran and the others returned to Xijing.

Upon arriving in Xijing, Qin Ran asked Ji Ruyan if she had a place to stay.

The other party answered yes.

Qin Ran took her there directly.

Qin Ran also warned Ji Ruyan that she was not allowed to leave Xijing without his permission.

Ji Ruyan agreed.

Qin Ran then parted ways with the Ma brothers.

On the way back, Qin Ran drove while thinking.

He hasn't mastered the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique yet.

However, the demonic cultivators they encountered were all increasingly powerful.

Qin Ran knew he needed to hurry.

After arriving home, he chatted with Zhu Jiahe for a few minutes before hurriedly pulling her upstairs to play cards.

After their intimate moment, he immediately began his cultivation.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Ran's spiritual power had once again arrived at the Dragon Altar.

Suddenly, the old man's voice came from all around.

"Disciple, congratulations on having mastered the first part of the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique."

"Master chef..." Qin Ran was overjoyed.

"But don't be arrogant. You have a long way to go, so you have to keep working hard."

"Master chef, I'd like to ask you a question."

"What's the problem?"

"How to break the Chaos Demonic Array of the Demonic Path?"

"Alas! I could tell you, but with your current level of cultivation, you cannot do it."

Qin Ran's throat bobbed.

It turns out the clown was himself.

Is my cultivation level truly insignificant in the face of the powerful demonic path?

"Master, I still want to know!"

"The Chaos Demonic Essence Array relies on the underground demonic veins and the essence of living beings as energy nourishment; this is the foundation of the array."

"To destroy the Chaos Demonic Yuan Array, we must seal the underground demonic veins, purify the resentment in the entire area, and cut off the continuous energy supply of the underground demonic veins. At this moment, the array will dissipate when it loses its energy supply."

"With your current cultivation level, you cannot do that. At the very least, you need to turn the dragon crimson red."

"However, Chaos Demonic Essence Arrays are also divided into different grades. Higher-grade Chaos Demonic Essence Arrays are much more difficult to break."

"What you need to do now is to focus on your cultivation. You can put the matter of avenging the Li family aside for now. Focus on finding your remaining senior sisters first."

"Disciple, you must remember your master's words. Cultivating the Nine Revolutions Divine Dragon Technique is the most important thing you should do right now, because when you encounter a truly high-level demonic cultivator, you will know how terrifying their strength is."
