Li Qiqi's lips curved into a faint smile after hearing his thoughts, and she said, "It's actually very simple. All you need is a drop of your blood to open this cage."

Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed across Yuan Mu Ye's face. Why could his blood open this cage?

Was this woman trying to fool him?

Although Yuan Mu Ye felt somewhat doubtful, he didn't ask too much. At this moment, the best way was to verify it with his own blood. If it could open the cage, that would be the best outcome, because then he wouldn't need to rack his brains for other solutions.

Subsequently, he walked directly to the cage, bit his finger, and dripped blood onto it.

At this moment, he was even more nervous than Li Qiqi inside the cage.

Time passed, but the cage showed no reaction at all.

Yuan Mu Ye's initial nervousness and anticipation turned into disappointment.

"I knew my blood couldn't possibly open this cage!"

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!" Li Qiqi said calmly. She seemed completely unconcerned, as if she wasn't afraid that the cage wouldn't open at all!

In other words, she seemed to have complete confidence?

As they spoke, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from behind them. Judging by the sound, it seemed like more than one person was approaching.

Yuan Mu Ye's nerves, which had just relaxed a little, immediately tightened again. He knew that the people from Jileya must be coming to make trouble for him.

Some things had to be faced sooner or later, so he tried his best to calm down. The more he was in this kind of situation, the less nervous he could be, because being nervous wouldn't solve the problem.

Yuan Mu Ye turned around unhurriedly, pretending to be calm as he looked at the people walking towards them.

He scanned them briefly. Four people, three men and one woman. They all looked young, but they carried a different kind of aura, a kind of otherworldly air.

Yuan Mu Ye found it a bit unbelievable. That otherworldly air actually appeared on such young people.

The four people walked straight up to Yuan Mu Ye, looking at him with indifferent eyes.

After exchanging glances, the woman was the first to speak.

"I know who you are," the woman said flatly.

Yuan Mu Ye initially thought that the woman knew his name, so he didn't think much of it.

"I didn't come here to disturb you intentionally. I have an important matter to deal with now, and I hope you can understand," Yuan Mu Ye said in a good-natured tone, without getting angry. After all, this was their territory. It wouldn't be right to get angry at them.

However, his gentle words didn't earn the woman's understanding. The woman sneered and said, "What does your business have to do with us? Anyway, Jileya's rule is that outsiders are not allowed in. Now that you've broken the rule, you must be punished, even if you are the City God!"

As the saying goes, the law applies equally to everyone, but now there were extenuating circumstances. Couldn't they show some understanding?

"To be honest, I came to Jileya this time for the sake of the human world. I believe you all know what's happening in the human world. The situation is urgent now. If it's not resolved, the human world will be completely lost. Perhaps, to you, this matter has nothing to do with you, but I don't think you want to see evil ghosts running rampant either!"

Yuan Mu Ye suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a good-natured tone.

The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by the man next to her.

"Just like you said, this matter has nothing to do with us, so whether the human world falls or not has nothing to do with us."

The man's tone was even colder.

Hearing them say this, Yuan Mu Ye really didn't know what to say for a moment. As cultivators, were they really not concerned about the human world at all? They should have been human before they started cultivating, right?

"To think you're cultivators! No, you don't deserve to be cultivators..."

Yuan Mu Ye cursed and ranted, but no matter what he said, those people didn't get angry.

This made him even more annoyed.

"Whether we deserve to be cultivators is not up to you to decide. I advise you to leave here as soon as possible, otherwise you will be trapped here forever like Li Qiqi."

The man warned.

Since Yuan Mu Ye had come here, he would definitely not leave easily until the matter was resolved. Furthermore, would these people really let him go so easily?

He suddenly thought of something and questioned the man, "May I ask, are you not human?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Negative emotions from Zhou Minjun +999!"

"Boy, I advise you to watch your mouth!"

Zhou Minjun said in a low voice.

Yuan Mu Ye frowned slightly, just about to say something, when suddenly, the Ghost Advisor who was hiding in the magical artifact came out.

The Ghost Advisor had never come out no matter what happened before, but now the Ghost Advisor had come out. What was the reason?

While Yuan Mu Ye was wondering, the Ghost Advisor said, "My Lord, you don't have to worry. I will take care of them!"

"Ghost Advisor, didn't you say that you can't interfere in the affairs of the human world? What are you doing now? Go back quickly, otherwise if something happens, I can't protect you!"

Yuan Mu Ye said sternly.

He was very clear about this kind of thing. The Ghost Advisor was a member of the underworld. If he interfered in the affairs of the human world, he would definitely suffer a backlash, so he didn't want the Ghost Advisor to have an accident.

The Ghost Advisor chuckled and said, "My Lord, you don't have to worry about this. This place does not belong to the human realm, so even if I kill people here, nothing will happen."

Hearing him say this, Yuan Mu Ye was very surprised, because he had never thought that this place did not belong to the human world.

Well, if that's the case, then let the Ghost Advisor do as he pleases. Having an extra helper was always better than fighting alone.

The Ghost Advisor looked at the four of them unhurriedly, and finally focused his gaze on the woman.

"Long time no see, Beauty Ji!"

The woman looked at the Ghost Advisor expressionlessly, her eyes seeming to want to swallow the Ghost Advisor whole.

But soon, she calmed down and looked at the Ghost Advisor with a smile that was not a smile, "I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you to still be alive."
