Ye Xiao continued to walk in the direction where he felt an opportunity was waiting for him. Ji Yanran was following behind Ye Xiao.

Very soon, they arrived at the foot of a huge mountain. This mountain was filled with lush green vegetation. But one thing to take note of here was that, as Ye Xiao and Ji Yanran continued to move forward, many Evil Spirits revealed themselves in front of the two of them.

While Ye Xiao was still walking, he again felt that the bid for Zhao Qing'er has been increased to 300 Million Blood Stones. Ye Xiao directly raised the bid by 200 Million, making it 500 Million Blood Stones.

.....

With Ye Xiao and Ji Yanran's speed, it took them more than 2 hours to climb at the top of the mountain.

When they arrived at the top, they saw a ruined temple not far away. This temple was exuding off a strange but evil aura. Ye Xiao had already felt this kind of evil aura from the Heart and the Eye of the Demon Monarch.

Not only this, there were many Evil Spirits wandering around here and there at the entrance of the palace.

"There are so many Evil Spirits here."

As far as the eye could see, countless Evil Spirits could be seen everywhere.

These Evil Spirits were lifeless and their faces were ferocious. Even a single glance would cause one's heart to palpitate for a long time.

Ji Yanran transmitted her voice to Ye Xiao, saying, "You came here to seek death?"

Back in the Small Town, her group had fought with this group of Evil Spirits.

Fortunately, Ji Yanran's strength was quite extraordinary as well. Even if she was entangled by Evil Spirits, she was still able to deal with a few of them with ease.

However, the number of Evil Spirits hiding in the Small Town was simply incomparable to the number of Evil Spirits in front of her.

Ye Xiao did not answer Ji Yanran. Instead, he continued to observe the movements of the Evil Spirits in the distance.

Those Evil Spirits surrounded a coffin and carefully placed it in front of the ruined temple. Then, they knelt down and bowed their heads.

From the dark entrance of the ruined temple, cold and bone-piercing evil energy constantly gushed out, making one's hair stand on end.

"So that's how it is. It seems that the Heart of the Demon Monarch has escaped to this temple and is trying to use these Evil Spirits to recover his strength!"

Ye Xiao observed for a while and finally understood what these Evil Spirits were going to do.

This mountain usually looked gloomy and sinister. There were very few creatures residing here because the evil energy had already seeped out from the surface of the mountain, affecting the surrounding.

"What are they doing?" Ji Yanran suddenly asked in confusion when she saw what Evil Spirit was doing.

In her line of sight, the group of Evil Spirits suddenly knelt on the ground and knelt in the direction of the temple.

Ye Xiao replied, "They are offering sacrifices."

As soon as Ye Xiao finished speaking.Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bodies of the Evil Spirits suddenly expanded and exploded. The dense blood energy, as well as Evil Energy, immediately scattered in the air.

A suction force came from the ruined temple and swallowed all these energies in the air.

Those Evil Spirits kept coming. They did not care about their own lives at all.

In the blink of an eye, all the Evil Spirits present sacrificed their lives, sending their souls into the ruined temple. At the same time, the ruined temple swallowed all the blood and evil energies from outside.

After that, the ruined temple regained its silence once more.

At this moment, Ye Xiao said lightly, "There is something that I need your help with."

"You want my help now!" Ji Yanran was a little surprised and asked, "What do you want?"

Ye Xiao told her what he wanted to do. Ji Yanran's expression immediately changed.

"Of course, you can choose not to do it. I will enter this temple myself. It is just that... it'll be too risky." Ye Xiao said lightly.

"There is not much time left. Hurry up and decide!" Ye Xiao's tone was very calm.

"Alright, I promise you."

Ji Yanran stroked the hair on her head. Her face was full of helplessness. "Do I have any other choice?"

Ye Xiao had already told her before bringing her here that he might need her help. Moreover, she needed Ye Xiao to give her the Second Stage of Cultivation Technique that could help her and her family to cultivate the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes to the second stage.

As for Ye Xiao, when he entered the Small Town, he already had the feeling that there might be some kind of opportunity waiting for him at this place. As he dealt with everything along the way and arrived at the top of this mountain, this feeling of his grew stronger and stronger with each passing second.

Ye Xiao had also guessed what the Heart of Demon Monarch might be doing here.

According to Ye Xiao's guess, the Heart of Demon Monarch must be weakened because of the Infinity Edge Blade. Its years of hard work were almost completely devoured by the Infinity Edge Blade.

It had already sensed a great danger from the Infinity Edge Blade, to be safe, it must have wanted to possess someone's body and recover his strength so that it can escape from this place.

After escaping from this place, it would cultivate in the possessed body and become stronger. And then do what it wanted to do!

.....

According to Ye Xiao, Ji Yanran came to the side of the coffin. She opened the lid and a cold aura came to her face.

A woman was lying inside the coffin. Her eyes were tightly shut as she fell into a deep sleep.

Ji Yanran immediately felt somewhat familiar when she saw this woman.Suddenly, she thought of it. Wasn't this woman one of the fellow members of the previous group who had previously disappeared?

"She is still alive. I will help you settle her down."

Ji Yanran's eyes blurred. In just an instant, the woman in the coffin was taken away by Ye Xiao.

This seemingly unremarkable action caused a great uproar in Ji Yanran's heart.

Ye Xiao's actions did not even alert Ji Yanran.

If Ye Xiao wanted to kill her, Ji Yanran was sure that there was nothing she could do.

"He seems to be at the Early Stage of Immortal Emperor Realm. I'm afraid his strength has far exceeded his cultivation base. This person is really not what he seemed to be on the surface."

This thought immediately surfaced in Ji Yanran's mind.

In this situation, the stronger Ye Xiao was, the more beneficial and safer it would be for her. Ji Yanran's heart was more confident.

Without any hesitation, Ji Yanran directly entered the coffin. The lid of the coffin instantly closed.

Recalling the cultivation method that Ye Xiao had given her, Ji Yanran began to operate it silently.

It was the Cultivation Technique that cultivated the First Stage of the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye.

It could absorb any kind of energy in the surroundings and nourish the eyes. Finally, it could completely form the true Yin Yang Heavenly Eye and then, she could step into the First Stage of the Yin Yang Heavenly Eyes, awakening one the eyes heaven-defying abilities.

"The Heart of the Demon Monarch must have possessed someone by now. Now, I'm just waiting for him to come out." Ye Xiao stared in the direction of the ruined temple and muttered in his heart.

"Umm... That Demon Monarch has come out." Suddenly, Ye Xiao immediately turned his eyes to the broken temple and muttered.

At this time, the ruined temple had already become gloomy and oppressive.

Even without coming to the top of the mountain, one could still see a wisp of dense black energy rising into the sky from every corner of the broken temple.

Just as he was quietly waiting, a giant black hand suddenly appeared on the ground below the coffin and grabbed it.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the ground sank and the coffin disappeared.

"Not good, I've been tricked!" Ye Xiao cursed in his heart.

Ye Xiao's original plan was to wait for the Demon Monarch to come out of the ruined temple. When the Demon Monarch will be about to open the coffin, he and Ji Yanran will attack him from both sides and restrain him.

After that, He will let the Infinity Edge Blade devour the Demon Monarch completely.

But the situation that appeared now greatly exceeded their expectations.

Ye Xiao's face sank and he directly entered the ground.

"Roar!" In the dark underground, a deafening roar was heard.

When all the Evil Spirits hiding in the surroundings heard this roar, they all rushed towards Ye Xiao's direction.

Ye Xiao sensed through his Divine Sense that there were over ten thousand Evil Spirits rushing towards him.

"Trying to stop me with just a bunch of Evil Spirits, laughable!" Ye Xiao's eyes shone with a cold light as he muttered.
