The giant palm landed with a crash. The evil ghost dodged, spitting out a black sword that erupted with a beam of light. The black light collided with the golden palm print.

The collision created immense pressure.

The overwhelming pressure made Yuan Munye's stance unstable.

Yuan Munye quickly released his Qi, stabilizing himself and exclaiming, "Truly powerful."

He hadn't felt this way even when facing the Liang family's ancestor.

At this moment, Yuan Munye suddenly asked the ghost advisor, "Ghost Advisor, what's the power level of a low-grade evil ghost?"

The ghost advisor, without hesitation, replied, "Replying to my lord, Earth Grade Rank 1. That is, higher than a Level 9 evil ghost. If it's Earth Grade Rank 9, then perhaps twenty of you, my lord, wouldn't be a match."

Yuan Munye gasped, hearing this.

This evil ghost clearly wasn't Earth Grade Rank 1, and might even be stronger.

Yuan Munye didn't delay, continuing to ask, "Do you know the strength of the evil ghost before us?"

The ghost advisor paused before replying, "Replying to my lord, forgive my meager abilities, I cannot discern it. But I can confirm it's at least Earth Grade Rank 3, or even stronger."

Yuan Munye became even more tense upon hearing this.

The old Daoist priest was fighting an Earth Grade evil ghost. Yuan Munye, as a Great Power realm expert, was not strong enough.

The old Daoist priest quickly exchanged several blows with the Earth Grade evil ghost before turning to Yuan Munye, saying, "Young friend, if not now, when will you act?"

Yuan Munye ignored the old Daoist priest.

If he acted, he'd likely become cannon fodder.

"Daoist, hold on a little longer. Can I attack after you've suppressed this evil ghost?"

"Negative emotion points from Wu Xin Daozhang +199..."

Yuan Munye was stunned for a few seconds.

He hadn't expected the Daoist's Dao heart to be so unstable. He was getting angry over such a small thing.

"Daoist, don't worry, I'll strike at the right moment."

Yuan Munye continued.

The old Daoist priest, seeing Yuan Munye's inaction, could only grit his teeth and continue fighting the Earth Grade evil ghost.

The two exchanged hundreds of blows in short order, flattening the ground instantly.

Yuan Munye felt immense pressure from the ripple of their auras.

At this rate, even without participating, Yuan Munye felt like he couldn't take it.

To preserve his strength, Yuan Munye retreated several li.

Only after retreating several li did Yuan Munye feel somewhat better.

This was Yuan Munye's first time witnessing experts of this level fighting. The strength of both the evil ghost and the old Daoist priest was top-notch.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Yuan Munye felt the aura being released in front had clearly weakened.

Could it be over? Yuan Munye began to speculate.

He cautiously approached, and saw the old Daoist priest on the ground, supporting himself with one hand, coughing up blood.

Yuan Munye quickly stepped forward and asked, "Daoist, are you alright?"

The old Daoist priest couldn't help but glare at Yuan Munye before saying, "Young friend, do I look like I'm alright?"

Yuan Munye: "..."

The old Daoist priest's condition did look rather bad, not good at all.

Yuan Munye then asked, "What about the evil ghost?"

"The evil ghost is ahead. Young friend, take this. As long as you insert this into the evil ghost's forehead, the evil ghost can be executed."

The old Daoist priest gave Yuan Munye a peach wood hairpin.

It looked unremarkable, but Yuan Munye could feel a faint aura flowing through it, so he could tell that this peach wood hairpin was no ordinary object.

The evil ghost had clearly also suffered a great impact and was now gathering Yin Qi.

One thing was certain: the evil ghost's condition was much better than the old Daoist priest's.

Yuan Munye was unsure whether his strike at this moment would succeed.

But seeing the old Daoist priest's current state, Yuan Munye's conscience wouldn't allow him to stand idly by.

After a brief struggle, Yuan Munye said, "Daoist, I'll help you this once."

"You're not helping me, you're helping the common people."

The old Daoist priest suddenly said.

The two looked at each other. The common people?

There were so many evil ghosts in this world. Even if this evil ghost was suppressed, what would change?

The truth was that the situation couldn't be changed.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Munye suddenly said, "Then I'm sorry, Daoist, I'm not familiar with the common people. I'm somewhat acquainted with you."

"Negative emotion points from Wu Xin Daozhang +299..."

The Daoist priest was so angry that more blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

The old Daoist priest steadied his mind and then said, "Young friend, in that case, can you just help me?"

"Sure, but I can't help for free. If you have any magical treasures afterward, you'll give me one, right?"

The old Daoist priest couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yuan Munye's words before saying, "Alright, no problem."

Seeing that the old Daoist priest had agreed, Yuan Munye began to walk toward the evil ghost.

The Earth Grade evil ghost had clearly sensed Yuan Munye's arrival and now said to him, "Boy, if you dare come over, I'll devour your living soul."

"Who do you think you're scaring? With your current state, you still want to devour my living soul?"

After Yuan Munye finished speaking, he stopped and didn't continue forward.

He lowered his voice and asked the ghost advisor, "Ghost Advisor, what's the current condition of the evil ghost before us? If I attack, what are my chances of winning?"

The ghost advisor paused before saying, "Replying to my lord, about thirty percent, perhaps."

These words made Yuan Munye's heart pound. The evil ghost was already injured to this extent, yet his chances of winning were only thirty percent. This truly made Yuan Munye feel uneasy.

At this moment, the old Daoist priest, seeing that Yuan Munye still hadn't attacked, urged, "Young friend, if you don't act now, when the evil ghost recovers, both you and I will die. It's nothing for me to die, since I'm old, but you're different. You're young, your future is limitless!"

Yuan Munye knew that the old Daoist priest was using reverse psychology.

He remained calm and said, "Daoist, in that case, if I leave now, wouldn't I be able to survive?"

"Negative emotion points from Wu Xin Daozhang +699..."

The old Daoist priest was speechless. He had seen shameless people, but this was the first time he had seen someone this shameless.
