249: Forest shrouded in demonic energy

Yu Ling sized up Ji Wuchang, a hint of appreciation appearing in her cold, dark pupils.

She had witnessed Ji Wuchang's decisiveness in killing moments before with her own eyes.

However, compared to that, she was more curious about how Ji Wuchang had learned the Ji Family's terrifying ultimate move, Millstone Rotation: Yin and Yang.

Yu Ling knew very well just how terrifying this move was.

Ji Wuchang's current cultivation base was too weak; he hadn't even unleashed one-thousandth of this move's power.

Once his cultivation base rose in the future, almost no one within the same Great Realm would be able to withstand it once this move was unleashed.

Heaven and earth were originally Chaos, Chaos transformed into Yin and Yang, and the yin and yang qi evolved into all things in heaven and earth.

The Ji Family claimed to be the sky above the Li Family, dictating the ages with terrifying strength.

Even Peak cultivation families like the Yu Family and the Xia Family did not dare to show their edge before the Ji Family.

For tens of thousands of years, only the Li Family dared to compete with the Ji Family, but unfortunately, the Li Family was crushed by the Ji Family and has now completely declined.

Countless thoughts flashed through Yu Ling's mind. After glancing at Ji Wuchang, the hint of appreciation in her eyes was gradually drowned out by indifference.

Yu Gang was currently hidden in the Void Realm, his brow furrowed. He did not sense the Ji Family's terrifying Bloodline Power from Ji Wuchang's body.

However, Millstone Rotation: Yin and Yang was a secret technique of the Ji Family that was never passed to outsiders. How did Ji Wuchang know it?

Did Ji Wuchang have any connection to that Ji Family?

Yu Gang thought for a moment, then shook his head. He felt he might be overthinking it.

The Ji Family would never allow anyone with Ji Family Bloodline to wander outside. Moreover, the Southwest was too remote, separated from the Ji Family by tens of millions of miles.

After thinking of this, Yu Gang shook his head again. He felt that Ji Wuchang must have obtained some special fortuitous encounter.

The Ji Family dominated this continent back then, and many of their supreme arts had spread outside, so it wasn't too unusual.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. However, as he looked at Ji Wuchang, the appreciation in his eyes became increasingly intense.

If Yu Ling nodded, he would be willing to take Ji Wuchang back to the Yu Family to be trained as Yu Ling's guard, accompanying her as she grew and becoming her right-hand man!

With the escape of that person from Demonic Paths First Hall, the blood-red eyes of the Ghost Beasts gradually became clear.

They could naturally sense the danger from the outside world, so they stopped attacking Ji Wuchang and Yu Ling and scattered to flee.

Ji Wuchang and Yu Ling naturally didn't bother to act either, simply watching them leave.

“Junior Brother, your speed is much faster than a few days ago. Did you hide your true abilities when you sparred with me before?”

Yu Ling's body flickered, and she arrived beside Ji Wuchang, speaking calmly.

Yu Ling's voice was a bit cold, but Ji Wuchang was already used to it and explained with a smile.

“Senior Sister, how would I dare hide anything? It’s just that under Senior Sister's pressure, I had no choice but to Cultivate desperately!”

“I happened to have some insights these past few days, understanding many parts of this Cultivation Technique that I previously only half-understood. That's what caused my speed to soar!”

Hearing Ji Wuchang's explanation, Yu Ling nodded. This explanation was quite reasonable.

“This light-body technique of yours is very good. Cultivate it well; in the future, it might be comparable to my ‘Rain Immortal Steps’!”

Yu Ling spoke very seriously, and the coldness in her eyes lessened slightly!

Ji Wuchang felt quite emotional upon hearing this and nodded slowly. Although his current speed was fast, he knew very well there was still a gap between him and Yu Ling!

Ji Wuchang didn't know that Yu Ling was blessed by heaven. The abilities she obtained from opening her tenth dao platform were twofold: one was Space Displacement, and the other was Bloodline Augmentation.

Once Space Displacement was activated, her speed would be ten times more terrifying than it was now, perhaps even more.

Bloodline Augmentation meant that after she activated her Bloodline Power, she could increase its strength by about thirty percent!

Once the tenth dao platform is opened, special abilities will accompany one for a lifetime.

What he obtained was Devour, while Yu Ling's were Space Displacement and Bloodline Augmentation.

Once combined with her light-body technique, ‘Rain Immortal Steps’, even someone one or two Great Realms higher than her might not match her in terms of speed.

Unless she encountered a life-or-death crisis, Yu Ling would not use these two trump cards; they were her greatest secrets.

After this incident, Ji Wuchang became increasingly cautious. The two found a place and decided to wait until dawn to move.

After dawn, the two continued forward. When they stood at the top of a mountain, their expressions couldn't help but turn solemn.

In the distant sky, Devilish Qi rolled, blotting out the sun and covering almost half the sky.

“What kind of place is this? It's a bit different from the Secret Realm I knew in my past life!”

Ji Wuchang's mind raced, but he had no clue at all.

“I didn't expect that a frontier place like the Southwest would have once suffered at the hands of the Demon Race.”

“Such a place where Devilish Qi rolls is called a Demon Fall Land.”

“After members of the Demon Race die, the Devilish Qi in their bodies does not dissipate but gradually emanates from their corpses.”

“This Devilish Qi requires a long period of natural evolution before it gradually disappears.”

“The surging Devilish Qi there is clearly because many demons fell, leading to an accumulation of Devilish Qi.”

“But such a place isn't entirely without benefits. Various medicinal herbs related to Devilish Qi will grow there, such as Nine-Leaf Heavenly Demon Grass, Star Demon Flowers, and so on!”

“Don't be fooled by the word ‘demon’ in their names; these herbs are worth a fortune.”

“Junior Brother, let's go take a look together. We might have unexpected gains!”

Yu Ling stood beside Ji Wuchang and slowly explained to him. her gaze remained fixed on the land of rolling Devilish Qi, a faint hint of anticipation in her eyes!

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchang's eyes brightened. Knowing that his Senior Sister had explained this intentionally for him, he nodded slowly and decided to go take a look.

The two took flight and headed straight for the distance. After about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, they arrived at their destination.

Before them now was a large mountain covered in Devilish Qi.

Before they could get a clear look, they felt several fluctuations of aura in the distance.

Ji Wuchang and Yu Ling glanced at each other, and simultaneously, their bodies blurred and they vanished from the spot.

A few breaths later, six figures appeared where they had just been standing. They were Wu Caojun, Tian Huafeng, and the other four.

“Boss, are you sure that Immortal Cave is inside this mountain shrouded in Devilish Qi?”

Wang Chunmian spoke. For some reason, he felt a hint of fear towards the demon mountain before him.

It was as if there was something terrifying inside waiting to Devour the six of them.

Wu Caojun's eyes were burning with fervor as he spoke, “Naturally, there's no mistake. It is said that these Devil Heads were all slain by the Purple Flame Venerable.”

“Because he suffered heavy injuries and knew he would surely die if he left, he simply stayed behind and established his tomb here.”

“Don't be fooled by the grim Devilish Qi here; in fact, it will all dissipate in a few decades at most!”

After Wu Caojun finished speaking, he looked down at the map in his hand. After comparing it, he said excitedly, “This is the place. Let's go!”

Wu Caojun put away the map and was the first to fly into the dense forest.

Tian Huafeng, Ma Xinsheng, Wang Chunmian, and the others also took flight one after another, following closely behind Wu Caojun.

Just as the six left, Ji Wuchang and Yu Ling reappeared. The two looked at each other and also entered the dense forest.
