"Compared to the 'Profound Gold Sand' I bought at the last auction, which one is better?" Yue Qianchou asked.

"Profound Gold Sand?" Wu Sihai laughed. "The two are not even in the same league. Profound Gold Sand can at most be used to refine treasures, while Nether Iron can be used to refine spiritual treasures. Which do you think is better? Of course, no matter how good the item is, you still need the skill to refine it. Nether Iron has the natural ability to absorb souls. For example, the Corpse God Sect of the Demonic Path has a magic Law Treasure made from a piece of Nether Iron. They captured many Rogue Cultivators and took away their souls. Those Rogue Cultivator were like walking corpses, at their beck and call. That's why they have the reputation of being ranked third in the Demonic Path."

"So that's how it is!" Yue Qianchou muttered, "Then next time I run into the Ghost General, I'll have to ask him to get me more of this Nether Iron."

Although the voice was soft, the group exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that this guy's relationship with the Ghost General was indeed extraordinary. Wu Sihai coughed and said, "Hey Yue Qianchou, can I discuss something with you?"

Here it comes! The old fox is finally showing his tail! Yue Qianchou sneered inwardly, but nodded on the surface and said, "Please speak frankly, sir."

"Since everyone in the Demon Ghost Domain, whether demon or ghost, has to give this token some respect, and it's useless to you, why don't you lend it to our Four Great Families for now? We'll return it to you after we find our Old Ancestor, and we'll definitely reward you handsomely afterwards. What do you think?" Wu Sihai said somewhat awkwardly. After beating around the bush for so long, they finally got to the point. Bi Zicong and the other three turned their heads away nonchalantly, but if you looked closely, you could see that they all looked a little embarrassed.

"Old man, you've got a good idea." Yue Qianchou took the token back from his hand, threw it directly into his Storage Bag, and laughed, "It's not that I'm unwilling to lend it to you, but this token is useful to me, but it's useless to you."

Wu Sihai watched the Ghost King Token's Token being taken away with longing eyes, almost wanting to snatch it himself. Suppressing his emotions, he frowned and asked, "Why do you say that?"

"When Meng Yan gave me the token, he repeatedly instructed me not to give it to anyone else. If your Four Great Families display the Ghost King Token in the Demon Ghost Domain, I believe Meng Yan will find out in no time. Once he discovers the token is in your hands, hehe! I'm sure Meng Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops are not to be trifled with. In his anger... hehe! Meng Yan has many powerful generals under his command. If you think your Four Great Families can fight against the Ghost General, I can let you try. The problem is, if the token doesn't help you, it might bring even bigger trouble. Meng Yan has a bad temper! And there's also the Demon King Ao Li, who is allied with him. Old Master, I advise you to give up this idea!" Yue Qianchou shook his head and laughed.

Wu Sihai was dumbfounded. He had calculated for so long and thought he was almost right, but Yue Qianchou had shattered his dream in an instant. After a moment of stunned silence, he asked casually, "Who is Demon King Ao Li? One of the Ten Great Demon King? Is he on good terms with Ghost General?"

Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "Yes! He is one of the Ten Great Demon King, and he and the Ghost General are the Co-lord of the same land. The two are as close as brothers, one is in charge of Yang and the other is in charge of Yin. Grandma Ma Jiu of Fu Xian Island was once his defeated opponent."

"Even Grandma Ma Jiu, who is at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage on Fu Xian Island, is no match for that Demon King Ao Li!" Wu Sihai could no longer keep up the act, and his expression twitched. It should be known that Grandma Ma Jiu has not only firmly established herself as the number one expert on Fu Xian Island, but also in the entire Huaxia Cultivation World. Her 'Demon Slaying Staff' is rarely matched. Unexpectedly, she could not defeat Demon King who is also at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm. The Ten Demon King of the Demon Ghost Domain are indeed worthy of their reputation.

With a sigh, Wu Sihai looked somewhat dejected. One Ghost General was already troublesome, and now there was the Demon King Ao Li, along with many other Ghost Kings and Demon King. It seemed that even if he knew the whereabouts of his Old Ancestor, it would be difficult to see him again.

Seeing him in a daze, Yue Qianchou chuckled inwardly, but said solemnly, "Grandpa, don't be discouraged. If you really want to go, I can just accompany your Four Great Families to the Demon Ghost Domain after I finish what I'm doing."

Wu Sihai's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is that really true!"

"What do you mean by taking it seriously or not?" Yue Qianchou scoffed, pointing at Bi Zicong Human Path. "I only came here because of you four brothers. Do you think I have nothing better to do than eat my fill?"

Bi Zicong and the other three were delighted. They exchanged glances and bowed in thanks. Wu Sihai said happily, "What can I do for you? Although our Four Great Families are not as powerful as your Fu Xian Island, we still have some influence. Do you need our help?"

"Alright!" Yue Qianchou rubbed his nose and said seriously, "Using the Four Great Families is really making a mountain out of a molehill. Your Wu family's help is enough. Grandpa, then please ask Yan Zhuixing of the Hundred Flower Palace where he got the Xiao Xue's Four Treasures."

"Uh..." Wu Sihai's smile froze on his face. After a moment, he said awkwardly, "It's really inconvenient for my Wu family to get involved in this matter. Is there anything else that requires my Wu family's help?"

Yue Qianchou waved his hand dismissively and said, "Then forget it. I'll contact you again when I need something. Just don't make excuses then."

"Hehe! I'll definitely help if I can." Wu Sihai said awkwardly. He felt something was off no matter how he thought about it, as if he had been tricked by Yue Qianchou.

"Oh! Then I hope the next time I need your help, it will be within your reach!" Yue Qianchou's tone suggested he had lost hope in the Wu family.

The more they talked about it, the more embarrassed Wu Sihai felt, so he immediately changed the subject and asked, "Why do you insist on investigating the origin of those four treasures?"

Yue Qianchou narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice without hiding anything, "There is a Demon Race in the Far North called the Snow Fox Clan. The little snow fox who followed the Divine Craftsman in High Antiquity times was the first Clan Leader of the fox clan. The four treasures made by the Divine Craftsman are the tokens passed down by the Clan Leader of the Snow Fox Clan. I want to understand how the fox clan's inherited treasures ended up in Yan Zhuixing's hands."

"Ah! So Xiaoxue is Demon Race?" Wu Sihai exclaimed in surprise. Bi Zicong and the other three exchanged bewildered glances. The former immediately pressed, "The Far North should have long been outside the territory of the Huaxia Empire. How do you know about things there?"

"I heard about it too. I was asked to do it once, and I almost forgot. I only suddenly remembered it last night, so I came to ask you for clarification." Yue Qianchou casually made up a few words, then cupped his hands and said, "I won't say any more. I'll go back to Hundred Flower Valley first, and then I'll come back to discuss the matter of going to the Demon Ghost Domain with your Four Great Families."

"Wait! I have something to tell you." Wu Sihai called out to him, then hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My Wu family already knows about the Yue Family's situation in Swallow City, and I expect other sects will find out soon as well, including Fu Xian Island. And the Qingguang Sect —they probably won't let you off easily. Be careful!"
