72: Yan Xiaoji's Mission

Just as Li Ye was concentrating on practicing his sword and preparing to check if he could successfully refine the Golden Essence Pill, Yan Xiaoji suddenly rushed over for some unknown reason.

"Master...嗚嗚嗚..."

Li Ye's heart tightened, thinking that Yan Xiaoji was sad because he had been somewhat cold to her during this period.

"Xiao Ji, what's wrong? What happened to make you so sad?" he quickly asked.

Yan Xiaoji squatted down, burying her large head deep into Li Ye's chest, crying her heart out.

"Ahem... Xiao Ji, even if you're sad, you should pay attention to your image," Li Ye gently reminded her, inadvertently lowering his head to look at her.

However, what met his eyes was Yan Xiaoji's charming and beautiful face, and that valley...

"Master, Xiao Ji's former Family is about to be gone, and my clansmen are about to disappear!" Yan Xiaoji said with a sob.

"Your former Family? Are you talking about the Yan Ghost Clan?" Li Ye asked curiously.

Li Ye vaguely remembered that the main reason he was able to meet Yan Xiaoji was because Yan Xiaoji had been expelled by the Yan Ghost Clan.

She was only a High Grade First Order demon at that time.

And the dwelling place of the Yan Ghost was suspected to be in the former Second Order Secret Realm.

According to the previous First Order Secret Realm where he encountered Second Order powerhouses.

Then the Second Order Secret Realm might also encounter Third Order powerhouses.

Li Ye's mind was very active.

"Xiao Ji, how do you know the Yan Ghost Clan is going to perish? Also, weren't you expelled by the Yan Ghost Clan back then? Don't you resent your Family?"

Yan Xiaoji lowered her head. Although she was now a High Grade Second Order powerhouse, her mind was not yet mature, still stuck at the time she was a High Grade First Order.

After Li Ye learned more from Yan Xiaoji, he understood that the Second Order Secret Realm was called the Five Ghost World.

As the name suggests, it is a Small World of Yan Ghost, Gold Ghost, Wood Ghost, Water Ghost, and Earth Ghost, respectively.

Of course, there are other races, such as ogres, but these five races are the most powerful.

Of course, among these five demon races, in recent years, due to the Yan Ghost Clan not having given birth to a Third Order powerhouse, their status has become lower and lower.

The scene Li Ye saw earlier of several Gold Ghosts eating Yan Ghosts actually subtly indicated the status of the Yan Ghost.

Although Yan Xiaoji was expelled by the Yan Ghost Clan, she actually had a younger sister named Yan Xiaoyi.

The deceased Yan Daji, Yan Xiaoji, and Yan Xiaoyi were all princesses of the Yan Ghost Clan.

However, the three princesses of the Yan Ghost Clan had a difficult fate: Yan Daji died young, Yan Xiaoji lost her demon's heart of a powerhouse and was expelled by the Yan Ghost Clan, and Yan Xiaoyi was taken by Jin Jie of the Gold Ghost Clan.

Jin Jie, like Liu Xiaoxue, was a demon whose sexual orientation was slightly abnormal.

She had long ago taken a fancy to Yan Xiaoyi and wanted Yan Xiaoyi to marry her.

However, Yan Xiaoyi, both before and now, was similar to the ugly Yan Xiaoji when they first met.

Her distorted face and red skin were no different from a ghoul, and she didn't know why Jin Jie had this癖好, but thinking about it, Jin Jie was of the Gold Ghost Clan, so she probably wasn't good-looking either.

But that's not the point. The point is that after Yan Xiaoyi was forcibly taken away by Jin Jie, the other four elemental ghost clans, apart from the Yan Ghost Clan, continued to exterminate the Yan Ghost Clan.

And now, the Yan Ghost Clan is on the verge of extinction, and Yan Xiaoyi and Jin Jie are about to get married.

Listening to this fantastical and Heaven-Defying plot, Li Ye frowned deeply.

Just as he was about to say something,

Suddenly, the mastermind sent a message to Li Ye's ear.

[Hidden Quest received: Yan Xiaoji's Request.

Quest Failure: Yan Xiaoji's tears.

You don't want the sexy and beautiful Yan Xiaoji to cry, do you?

Quest Time Limit: 48 hours.

Do you accept?]

Li Ye watched the Yan Xiaoji in front of him sniffle, with tears in her eyes. If he refused her, she would probably burst into tears immediately.

Thinking of this, Li Ye felt a faint excitement.

Of course, as Yan Xiaoji's master, he would never let Yan Xiaoji be sad.

"Xiao Ji, I understand. As your master, I will rescue your Yan Ghost Clan and your sister."

It's just that if Yan Xiaoyi is rescued, he will have to spend time and effort cultivating Yan Xiaoyi to make her a beauty.

Bah, bah, bah, what are you thinking? She's a demon.

Li Ye quickly shook his head.

Hearing Li Ye's promise, Yan Xiaoji was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Master, you are so kind!"

Perhaps she knew that Li Ye had always been uninterested in her.

Yan Xiaoji had no other plans.

You know, before, there would be other behaviors to seduce Li Ye.

But Li Ye couldn't just let it go.

He hugged Yan Xiaoji,

"Xiao Ji, I've helped you so much, don't you have any expression of gratitude?"

"Ah..."

Yan Xiaoji didn't quite understand at first, but then she noticed Li Ye's actions and immediately understood.

...

(Ten thousand words omitted here)

Twenty minutes later,

"Xiao Ji, from now on, you don't have to call me Master. Just call me Husband or Sect Master."

Yan Xiaoji nodded shyly.

Just as Li Ye was about to set off, he remembered that the quest hint seemed to mention the existence of Third Order powerhouses.

Third Order corresponds to Golden Core.

He didn't know how many Golden Core Stage powerhouses the other four clans, apart from the Yan Ghost Clan, had.

But he imagined there wouldn't be many, after all, it was a Second Order Secret Realm.

If there were many Golden Core Stage powerhouses, it wouldn't be Second Order, but Third Order.

Li Ye corresponds to one to two Golden Cores, and Yan Xiaoji corresponds to half a Golden Core.

Even if he brought Er Mi and Xiao Yan, Er Mi could at most handle half a Golden Core, and Xiao Yan could at most handle one.

2+0.5+0.5+1 = 4. That's only 4 Golden Cores, and that's under ideal conditions.

Li Qingqiu was only a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Puppet, and she and Xiao Luolin and others still had to look after the Changye Sect. As for Rong Qingqing, she had just joined, and it was unknown if she would betray them.

While Li Ye was thinking, a private message came through.
