Ghost Three Falls from the Sky

Nothing more was said that night.

That night, Song Wen refined three Qi-replenishing pills, replenishing his spiritual energy by about 70-80%.

As dawn broke, Song Wen emerged from a crevice in the cliff and, after climbing to the top, headed towards the Corpse Demon Sect.

The dense forest was overgrown with trees and weeds, and countless vines entwined around it. Without using any talismans, Song Wen, relying solely on his physical strength, was not very fast. He traveled for more than two hours, covering only more than three hundred miles of mountain road.

While running, Song Wen suddenly sensed a figure appearing in the air above his head. He scanned the figure with his spiritual power and discovered that it was someone he knew – Ghost Three.

Ghost Three was in very poor condition. When Song Wen noticed him, he fell directly from the sky and landed more than ten meters in front of Song Wen.

Ghost Three smashed through several large trees and rolled on the ground for more than ten meters before being stopped by a tree trunk.

Large gulps of blood gushed from his mouth, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Ghost Three also discovered Song Wen, but he was unaware of Song Wen's identity. Song Wen's strength was too weak, and Ghost Three had not paid any attention to him at all during yesterday's battle with the Yan Family.

"Fellow Daoist, save me! I will give you a generous reward."

Ghost Three seemed to have used up his last bit of strength. After saying those words, he fainted and lay motionless on the ground.

Song Wen was startled by the sudden turn of events. He immediately used his mental power to scan his surroundings and found no one else, which reassured him somewhat.

However, he did not let his guard down, nor did he rashly approach Ghost Three.

He activated the Swift Movement Talisman and the Blood Escape Technique, his body enveloped in Blood Qi, his speed increasing several times over as he dashed into the dense forest and disappeared.

As for the benefits promised by Ghost Three, don't be ridiculous.

Song Wen felt that if he really went to help Ghost Three, once Ghost Three recovered from his injuries, he would probably be the first one to kill him.

Bandit Cultivator like Ghost Three rely on burning, killing, and plundering other cultivators to earn Cultivation Resources.

To think that one can gain benefits from the kindness shown to the Ghost Three is wishful thinking.

As for killing Ghost Three plundering his resources, Song Wen had considered doing so for a moment.

But he quickly dismissed that idea. Ghost Three, a cultivator who constantly teetered on the edge of life and death, might appear lifeless and like a lamb to the slaughter, but no one knew if he had any tricks up his sleeve. What if he was faking it? If they got close, Song Wen himself could very well be the one to die.

Seeing Song Wen turn and leave without hesitation, Ghost Three, lying on the ground, twitched his lips slightly.

He was surrounded and pursued by the experts of the Yan Family. He barely managed to escape, but he was already seriously injured. In addition, the Yan Family's Cultivation Method were poisonous, and he was deeply poisoned. He had also used up all the medicines for healing and detoxification.

He thought he was doomed, but as he exhausted the last bit of spiritual power in his body and flew through the air in his flying boat, he suddenly saw a cultivator traveling in the dense forest below.

He then placed his hopes for survival on this monk.

So he put away the flying boat and wanted to land on the ground.

But at that moment, the toxins he had been suppressing suddenly erupted. This caused him to lose control of his body and fall directly from mid-air.

He had originally intended to trick the cultivator in the Qi Refining Early Stage, but to his surprise, the cultivator simply fled.

"You're really shameless. Don't you want even the slightest fortuitous opportunity? A critically injured, dying cultivator is right in front of you, and you're not even tempted."

Ghost Three thought to himself in distress, while simultaneously releasing the magical Law Artifact he had been tightly gripping with his right hand.

His consciousness became increasingly blurred, and then he completely lost consciousness.

Two hours later.

The Yan Family cultivators, who had been searching everywhere for Ghost Three's whereabouts, finally found this place.

Yan Gao landed first, and upon seeing the dying Ghost Three, a sinister smile appeared on Yan Gao's lips.

"Dare to oppose the Yan Family? How can we let you die so easily?"

"Guards, give him the antidote, then pierce his Dantian and take him back to the Lineage."

"I will extract his soul and refine it into Soul Lamp, so that his soul will suffer the torment of being burned by raging fire for eternity. This is the consequence of daring to offend the Yan Family."

The three monks following Yan Gao began to act according to the orders.

Yan Gao was in a good mood at the moment. The other escaped Bandit Cultivator had also been killed by another group of the Yan Family members.

Now that Ghost Three has also fallen into his hands, it means that all the Bandit Cultivator who attacked the Yan Family have been wiped out.

I've only heard that the Corpse Demon Sect disciple who came to the Yan Family to carry out the inventory mission Extreme Yin and has disappeared without a trace, which is a major hidden danger.

However, a mere Qi Refining Third Layer cultivator shouldn't be able to cause any trouble. Sooner or later, the Yan Family will find him, and he'll have no chance of returning to the Corpse Demon Sect alive.

A woman from the Yan Family, who was tying up Ghost Three, glanced around at the surrounding trees and weeds and then spoke to Yan Gao.

"Third Uncle, there seem to be signs that someone else has been here!"

The muscular Yan Gao, who was not good at observation, asked with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Xiao Qiu, what do you mean?"

The woman called Xiao Qiu was actually named Yan Qiu, and she was known throughout the Yan Family for her meticulousness. She pointed to several directions with her finger.

Although Ghost Three crashed down from mid-air, making a mess of the surrounding vegetation, a little careful observation would reveal traces of another person's activity in the area.

"Third Uncle, look at these places, there are signs of human activity, the grass has been trampled over."

Yan Gao followed Yan Qiu's finger and looked at it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. However, he knew his own situation well: he had good talent for body tempering, but his mind wasn't particularly sharp.

Since Yan Qiu said there were signs of human activity, it must not be unfounded.

"What's going on? Could they be accomplices of Ghost Three?" Yan Gao asked.

Yan Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't know then. But if he really is Ghost Three's accomplice, there's no reason to let Ghost Three stay here unattended. Even if they can't take Ghost Three away, they should at least give him a quick death."

Just then, a figure suddenly descended from mid-air in a hurry.

"Greetings, Third Uncle," the man said, clasping his hands in a fist salute to Yan Gao.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yan Gao asked.

"Yan Feng and five others were ordered to pursue Extreme Yin, but they have not returned. Not long ago, a clansman discovered traces of a battle. After repeated examination, the Lineage believes that Yan Feng and the other five have been killed, and Extreme Yin has most likely escaped."

"Extreme Yin has escaped!" Yan Gao exclaimed in disbelief.

"They also killed Yan Feng and six others. How did Extreme Yin manage to do that?"

Yan Qiu also looked incredulous. After a brief moment of shock, she said...

"Third Uncle, could these marks have been left by Extreme Yin? This place happens to be on the way to the Corpse Demon Sect."
