Yuan Muye glanced at Jiang Yicheng, his expression a bit serious. He had wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Yicheng's reaction, he swallowed the words back.

"They probably went to chase that light," Yuan Muye guessed.

Jiang Yicheng agreed with his assessment, but considering that they had only been out of the woods for a minute or two, even if they were fast, they shouldn't have vanished without a trace.

Could something really have happened?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yicheng suddenly felt worried. They had just arrived, and if something really happened, what would others think?

"I don't know where that light flew. What should we do next?" Jiang Yicheng was at a loss, so he could only ask Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye subconsciously looked around, but because it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything. Finding someone in this place wouldn't be easy.

It was night, and if they made too much noise, they would definitely attract the attention of those evil ghosts, and then they would be in trouble.

"Captain Jiang, how about this? We'll split up and look for them. I don't think they'll have gone too far. In half an hour, whether we find them or not, we'll meet back here," Yuan Muye said, looking at Jiang Yicheng with a calm gaze.

In this situation, they definitely had to split up. If they went together, it would be good if they found them, but if they didn't, it would just be a waste of time.

Jiang Yicheng didn't want anything to happen to his disciples, so he accepted the proposal.

After the two of them discussed it, they separated.

Yuan Muye headed north into the woods, while Jiang Yicheng went south.

Yuan Muye walked for a while without seeing a single ghost. He thought that with such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste not to cultivate his ghost body?

But half an hour wasn't enough time for him to cultivate.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly remembered the Juyin Zhu (Yin Gathering Pearl) he had obtained from the female ghost.

He could use the Juyin Zhu to absorb the Yin Qi here, and then slowly cultivate when he returned.

Thinking of this, Yuan Muye immediately took out the Juyin Zhu and began to absorb the surrounding Yin Qi.

It had to be said that this Juyin Zhu was a treasure. In just a moment, it had absorbed a lot of Yin Qi.

Yuan Muye wasn't greedy. Seeing that he had absorbed enough Yin Qi, he took back the Juyin Zhu, afraid that absorbing too much would attract evil ghosts.

And those evil ghosts were all coveting the Juyin Zhu.

Just as Yuan Muye retracted the Juyin Zhu and looked ahead, he unexpectedly saw a figure.

The figure was fleeting. At first, he thought he was seeing things, until he heard a burst of laughter from the nearby bushes.

"Hehe…"

The laughter was low and cold.

In this situation, who would be there? It was obvious.

Yuan Muye looked in the direction of the sound and said coldly, "Come out, stop playing tricks."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew out of the bushes, but it didn't look at Yuan Muye, and instead flew away directly.

Yuan Muye looked at the figure flying away quickly, a sneer on his face. Did it think it could escape like that? It was underestimating him too much.

With that, Yuan Muye chased after it.

Although the figure flew very fast, it was still far behind his Ling Bo Wei Bu (Micro Steps on the Water).

Soon, Yuan Muye caught up with the figure and blocked its path.

By the dim moonlight, Yuan Muye could see the figure's appearance clearly. It was a man, or rather, a male evil ghost.

Yuan Muye looked at the evil ghost with cold eyes and asked, "Why were you hiding in the bushes just now, pretending to be a ghost?"

"I just wanted to test you," the evil ghost said, looking at Yuan Muye with some fear.

He had thought that he was just an ordinary cultivator, but he didn't expect Yuan Muye to be so powerful. He had really stepped on a steel plate this time.

Yuan Muye looked at the evil ghost with a smile that wasn't a smile, and said, "You want to kill me?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Just let me go, seeing as I didn't do anything to you!" The evil ghost could see that Yuan Muye wasn't an ordinary cultivator. With his strength, he definitely couldn't compete with Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye had originally wanted to kill this evil ghost directly, but then he thought that the evil ghost must be more familiar with the situation here than he was. It would be better to have him lead the way, which would save him trouble.

Thinking of this, Yuan Muye said to the evil ghost in a serious manner, "I can let you go, but you have to answer one question for me."

Hearing this, the evil ghost didn't think too much and immediately responded, "As long as you're willing to let me go, not just one, but ten questions are fine."

"Did you see two young people just now, a man and a woman?" Yuan Muye asked directly.

Hearing this, the evil ghost's expression changed slightly, and he didn't speak for a long time. Seeing his reaction, Yuan Muye realized that something was wrong, and asked again, "Did you see them?"

"I saw them. They were captured by our boss. It's almost impossible for you to save them," the evil ghost said, looking at Yuan Muye in a low voice.

So something really happened.

Yuan Muye shouldn't have agreed to let them come. From the beginning, he was worried that the two of them would be a burden. Now it seemed that he was right.

"Your boss? Chen Ning?" Yuan Muye asked tentatively. In this area, apart from Chen Ning, no one should dare to call himself boss, right?

The evil ghost was also stunned for a moment, frowning slightly, and asked curiously, "How do you know? Do you know our boss?"

"It's more than just knowing him. Take me to see your boss," Yuan Muye said coldly.

The evil ghost's expression immediately became serious. He was afraid of death, that was true, but he wouldn't betray his boss, would he?

If he took Yuan Muye there, then he would definitely die too.

Seeing that the evil ghost was hesitating, Yuan Muye knew that the evil ghost was definitely unwilling, and said again, "Do you want to die?"

"I don't want to." The evil ghost was very conflicted. In the current situation, he would die either way!

"If you're worried about being discovered by Chen Ning, you just need to take me to the general location where he is. You don't need to show your face," Yuan Muye added. He knew those evil ghosts too well. They were greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as they hesitated, then there was still room for negotiation.

The evil ghost widened his eyes, thinking that this method wasn't impossible. As long as he didn't die, it would be fine.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't expose my identity, otherwise he will kill me," the evil ghost said, staring at Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, the evil ghost took him to an abandoned house on the edge of the forest. Standing far away, Yuan Muye could see the light coming from the abandoned house.

But this light was a little different from ordinary light. This light was a ghostly green color.
