68: Chapter 68 Encounter

After the nationwide live stream, the biggest realization was that the entire world had boiled over.

From time to time, people would step into cultivation and become a Martial Artist.

From time to time, people would also venture deep into the mountains and forests, searching for Heaven And Earth Treasure, hoping to get rich overnight.

Similarly, there were often people forming factions together, calling themselves a Sect.

However, Ji Yebai had been holed up in a hotel for the past few days.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go out.

For the first few days, he went into the mountains to search as usual.

Good grief!

He would constantly run into groups of people, in twos or threes, scouring the land.

Ji Yebai was rendered speechless by the sight.

Furthermore, he would frequently be followed; after all, the depths of the dark jungle and mountains were the moments that truly tested human nature.

Finding it incredibly annoying, Ji Yebai simply decided to stay holed up inside.

He carefully studied various Martial Arts Profound Truth.

Incidentally, that General Outline of Martial Arts was exactly the same as in his previous life.

Ji Yebai spent a month living like this.

It was very fulfilling.

It elevated his understanding of the Dao of martial arts to another level.

He also had some thoughts regarding his future path in martial arts.

Until this day.

Ji Yebai packed up and went to check out.

Observing online, he noticed that the craze for searching in the wild had faded over the past month.

Because life in the wild was not comfortable, valuable Heaven And Earth Treasure were hard to find, and some even lost their lives after encountering abnormal creatures.

As the hype died down, the number of people in the jungle naturally decreased.

Ji Yebai prepared to enter the mountains.

But just after settling the bill, Ji Yebai was called out by the owner.

This surprised Ji Yebai.

He had very little interaction with the owner.

"Mr. Ji, are you planning to go into the mountains?!"

The kind-hearted owner said with a smile.

"Huh?!"

"How did you know?!"

Ji Yebai looked at the owner with slight surprise.

"You've been staying with me for two months, so I've definitely been paying attention to you!"

The owner said politely, then paused and added: "Last month, every time you came back, you had a peculiar scent on you. I've been here for so many years; my nose has known that scent from the deep mountains since I was a child."

The owner pointed to his nose, looking slightly proud.

"Impressive!"

Ji Yebai praised with a smile.

He didn't understand why the owner was suddenly saying all this.

The owner seemed to notice something and stopped beating around the bush, saying directly: "I'm telling you this not for any other reason, but just to give you a warning!"

"Hmm!?"

Ji Yebai looked at the owner curiously.

"What warning?"

The owner leaned over the counter and lowered his voice: "Over the past month, the number of people going into the mountains and going missing has been increasing. I advise you that it's best not to go into the mountains!"

Ji Yebai was slightly stunned.

Then he chuckled: "Many thanks for your kindness, owner!"

Well!

The advice was wasted!

Seeing Ji Yebai's expression, the owner clicked his tongue.

After saying goodbye to the owner, Ji Yebai headed straight into the deep mountains.

He appreciated the owner's good intentions, but that didn't mean he needed to worry.

What was dangerous for ordinary people might be an Opportunity for Ji Yebai.

When one's strength is high, one naturally has the confidence to fear no danger.

At this point, the Spiritual Qi recovery had been going on for nearly half a year.

Perhaps there were some Geniuses who, relying on Heaven-Defying Opportunities, had become a First-Class Martial Artist.

But to be honest, even so, Ji Yebai was not afraid.

His strength and foundation were too strong; they were simply not comparable to any random First-Class Martial Artist.

He had condensed three types of Divine Will, his spirit was incredibly powerful, and his perception far exceeded that of a conventional First-Class Martial Artist.

Not to mention that his internal organs were almost filled with Five Elements Energy.

Judging by his Physical Body alone, Ji Yebai even felt that his current Physical Body was not inferior to the Major Achievement stage of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

Heavy Internal Energy, bones tempered by ten-thousand-year spirit milk, and incredibly powerful internal organs.

All of this made Ji Yebai's body extremely hard, with resistance to damage far beyond imagination.

Deep mountains.

Mottled sunlight filtered sparsely through the layers of leaves.

Haa!

Ji Yebai slowly exhaled.

The scent of the primeval jungle was still intoxicating.

This breath seemed to expel all the annoyance of the past month.

Ji Yebai stepped in.

Moving forward like a ghost.

Running freely made Ji Yebai feel exceptionally comfortable.

His speed was very fast.

He kept heading deeper into the jungle.

Just like that, Ji Yebai kept running.

Sometimes walking on the treetops, sometimes walking slowly under the forest canopy.

Occasionally, he would even catch a bird or two to play with.

Just like that, Ji Yebai kept leisurely immersing himself in nature.

However, happy times are short-lived.

Faint calls coming from somewhere made Ji Yebai snap back to reality.

Ji Yebai frowned slightly.

He had long discovered that immersing himself in the natural environment could greatly train his Divine Will and promote the mastery of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

This was also a form of cultivation!

Being interrupted during cultivation made one feel annoyed.

Ji Yebai turned his body, intending to leave.

He didn't want to run into irrelevant people and waste time.

But just at this moment, the sound in the distance suddenly became a bit clearer.

"Help! Murder..."

An ethereal voice drifted over, making Ji Yebai stop in his tracks.

Ji Yebai's brows furrowed.

He immediately remembered the hotel owner's words.

Murder!?

Ji Yebai's eyes turned cold.

Moving his feet, he instantly dashed forward.

Just a moment later, Ji Yebai arrived at the source of the sound.

Just as he stepped past an ancient tree, he immediately saw a man running forward with a look of terror.

He was shouting for help, running for his life.

But the next moment, the man suddenly tumbled and fell.

Clutching his heart tightly, his expression twisted, as if he had experienced something terrifying.

"Dead!?"

Ji Yebai was slightly stunned.

Immediately, his gaze was full of solemnity.

He prided himself on his strength and perception.

But at this moment, he couldn't even tell why the man died.

How did he die!?

"Still trying to run, can you escape!?"

Just as Ji Yebai was pondering, a cold, sneering voice drifted over.

Looking up, a woman wearing traditional ethnic clothing stepped forward.

"Third-rate Martial Artist!?"

Ji Yebai looked at the woman in surprise.

She was actually a Martial Artist who had given birth to Internal Energy.

Glancing at the lifeless man, Ji Yebai was certain that he was an ordinary person who had not yet given birth to Internal Energy.

The woman walked up and kicked the man's corpse disdainfully.

Ji Yebai's expression darkened as he watched.

Could it be that a Martial Artist was wantonly slaughtering ordinary people!?

This kind of thing had happened in his previous life; it was always people who gained power and thought they were something, no longer abiding by the law.

Later, they were dealt with by the state's heavy-handed strikes and all became obedient!

Could it be that this woman was the same!?

"Why did you kill him!"

Ji Yebai suddenly spoke.

The woman was clearly startled, and the next moment she looked towards Ji Yebai.

Upon seeing Ji Yebai's tall figure and the flourishing aura he radiated, a flash of satisfaction crossed the woman's eyes.

"Oh!"

The woman feigned shyness and walked towards Ji Yebai: "Sir, you mustn't wrongly accuse me. I didn't even lift a finger, how can you say I killed anyone!?"

The woman had many silver ornaments on her, which jingled as she walked.

Ji Yebai watched her indifferently.

Although he didn't understand how she killed him, he was certain it was the woman's doing.

"Sir, you can't wrongly accuse me..."

Seeing Ji Yebai standing still, the woman immediately took two more steps forward.

But just as she finished those two steps, the woman's expression instantly turned cold, and she withdrew.

"No matter who you are? Now, you are mine!!!"

The woman wore a sinister smile, licking the corners of her mouth with a long, blood-red tongue.

At that moment, her fingers suddenly danced, tracing an arcane arc.

"Hmm!?"

Ji Yebai looked down sharply at his chest.

There, a strange sensation emerged!
