Inside a roadside hut, Li Yunyi bit down on a piece of wood, leaving deep tooth marks. His right hand gripped a length of vine pressed against the four fingers of his left hand, and he pulled hard.

Tiny holes covered his arm, but no blood flowed from them. Segment after segment of aerial roots came tearing out of his flesh, as though all the blood in his arm had already been sucked dry.

"Yuan Yinxin..."

"Yuan... Yin... xin..."

"That old fox..."

Li Yunyi was terribly weak, but his hatred had not diminished in the slightest. Inside, he kept growling, kept roaring.

Luo Bin taking on Nightmare's appearance had already been a devastating blow to him, body and soul.

Then Qin Jiumo had appeared, too...

This Qin Jiumo was not the Guide, not the part wandering Cabinet Mountain. This was Qin Jiumo's physical body!

No wonder they could not get rid of Qin Jiumo. It was not merely that he had died alongside Nightmare, merged with Nightmare, and affected Cabinet Mountain.

Qin Jiumo himself had become part of Cabinet Mountain, corrupted by its core!

Li Yunyi understood that Qin Jiumo's appearance was not Yuan Yinxin's doing. Cabinet Mountain itself had sensed something foreign, rejected it, and sought to dispose of it.

For the Cabinet Mountain Taoist Grounds, this was an even greater hidden threat.

Nightmare was controlled by the Cabinet Mountain Taoist Grounds, by Yuan Yinxin. But no one could control Qin Jiumo. Thus, if the Cabinet Mountain Core ever turned on them and sought to expel the people on the mountain, Qin Jiumo would be its conduit.

Now that conduit had come after him...

The more Li Yunyi thought about it, the harder he ground his teeth.
