"So your nephew hasn't been back for two years?" Gu Yuan asked with a frown.

"Yes! His parents passed away after sending him to Huoyun Sect in his early years. I am his only relative over the years. Although I want to take better care of him, I haven't seen him in the past two years and can't help him. What's more, I think his life in Huoyun Sect should be pretty good, so I plan to leave directly. I will find a chance to contact him later!" The shopkeeper sighed and said.

Gu Yuan frowned and asked, "Boss, you said your nephew has written to you in the past two years, but you feel like he has become a different person, is that right?"

"Yes! That's why I'm a little worried about him. I'm afraid he's not doing well, but I don't dare to say it out loud."

"Actually, have you ever thought about another possibility?" Gu Yuan suddenly said.

"What...what is possible?" The shopkeeper looked at Gu Yuan in confusion and asked.

"Have you ever considered that the person who wrote to you might not be your nephew at all?" Gu Yuan asked directly

The shopkeeper opened his mouth in shock and shook his head, saying, "Impossible! Why not him? Sir, do you have any guesses?"

Gu Yuan shook his head and said, "Boss, I don't mean any harm. It's just that the Huoyun Sect is not as simple as you think. I actually...actually, I came to the Huoyun Sect for some business. I'm not an explorer as you said. The Huoyun Sect actually hides unknown secrets. Combined with what you said about what happened two years ago, I instinctively feel that your nephew may have died in the Huoyun Sect!"

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!"

The shopkeeper stood up suddenly and looked at Gu Yuan in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Yuan looked at him and said, "Boss, calm down. I have no ill intentions. I just made a guess! Of course, I hope nothing happens to your nephew! But don't you find it strange? Why did the Huoyun Sect suddenly control its disciples so strictly? They are not even allowed to go out? Moreover, why did those who died go crazy before they died? You don't know all this, but I know! But I can't tell you now! I can only say that there must be problems with the Huoyun Sect. My advice to you is to leave this troubled place as soon as possible. Your dream is not wrong! This is also your best choice at the moment!"

Gu Yuan looked at the shopkeeper and continued, "You're leaving soon, and I don't think you'll need these things anymore, so I'll take them back with me and see if I can find any key information inside them."

"Sir, who are you?" asked the shopkeeper.

"I'm not a nobody, just an ordinary person. I'm here because there are some particularly evil beings in the Fire Cloud Sect who are secretly doing some evil things. I'm just here to investigate some information. Other than that, there's nothing else to do! You'd better get some rest and leave here early. Of course, you can choose not to listen to me, but I hope you won't regret it when the time comes!"

After saying that, Gu Yuan put all the files on the shelf into the ring and left the room.

The shopkeeper looked at Gu Yuan's back as he left, frowned tightly, and seemed a little hesitant.

"Forget it! This person's identity must be extraordinary, and the dream I've been having recently might actually be true. I guess I can't stay here for long!"

The shopkeeper secretly made up his mind to sell the restaurant tomorrow morning and move away from here.

After returning to the room, Gu Yuan took off his disguise and went directly to Chi Yuer and the little witch's room.

"Are you still asleep?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Aren't we waiting for Brother Gu Yuan to come back? How is it? Do you have any useful information?" Chi Yuer poured Gu Yuan a cup of tea and asked.

Gu Yuan glanced at the little witch who was drinking tea by herself, then looked at Chi Yu'er, and thought to himself that his sister Yu'er was considerate and caring.

"Yeah! Today's trip wasn't in vain. I feel like I really got some important information."

Gu Yuan took out all the scrolls from the space ring and said, "These are the files that the shopkeeper made himself. I haven't finished reading them yet. Can you guys help me take a look and see if you can find anything out of them?"

"The shopkeeper didn't say anything?" asked the little witch.

"Yes, of course I did!"

Then Gu Yuan told Chi Yuer and the little witch everything he had said in the shopkeeper's room.

"Strange! A person goes crazy first and then dies? With fear and despair in his eyes, this must be because he experienced something horrible or saw something terrifying." The little witch guessed.

"People usually only look this horrible before they die after experiencing a particularly great shock. It seems that they must have seen the Domain Demon himself."

Chi Yuer said with a frown.

"Ah? Although the Domain Demons are scary, don't they look the same as us? We shouldn't be so scared just by seeing the Domain Demons, right? I'm afraid the Domain Demons have used some terrible methods on them, so that their spirits can't bear it." Gu Yuan said.

Chi Yu'er shook her head and replied, "That's not all I meant. Besides, one thing you said, Brother Gu Yuan, is not right."

"Ah? What's wrong?" Gu Yuan asked in confusion.

"Domain demons don't all look like us humans!"

"Hmm? Could it be that there are several types of domain demons? Doesn't that Yin Suo look the same as us?" Gu Yuan asked.

"The Domain Demons are actually just a general term for all the creatures that invaded the human continent back then! In fact, there are many races of Domain Demons. Those who look like humans are basically members of the royal family and above among the Domain Demons. Only those have the appearance of humans. However, there are also some races whose true forms are not human, but belong to other things. Only those with high enough cultivation, roughly reaching the Spirit Emperor realm similar to humans, can transform!"

"Ah? There's such a thing?"

Gu Yuan was shocked. He had always thought that the domain demons were a race that looked similar to humans!

Chi Yu'er replied, "Yes, not all domain demons are humanoid! And what I just said is that those crazy people probably became like this because they were close to the domain demons. Because the domain demons have demonic energy in them, the energy they cultivate is demonic energy, while ours is spiritual energy. However, they can convert spiritual energy into demonic energy to adapt to it, while we regard demonic energy as poison. If we humans are infected with demonic energy, especially ordinary people, the lower our cultivation, the worse our ability to withstand it. Over time, people will often be affected by some negative emotions, and their entire temperament will change drastically or undergo other changes."
