Fen Jue's eyes flickered slightly, and he softly hummed in agreement.

Her gaze was too intense, so Fenjue gently turned his face away from her, his ears turning red.

Gingerbread smiled secretly and reached out to take the lamp back.

Under Fen Jue's questioning gaze, she smiled and said, "I'll fix it for you, and I can even forge it more exquisitely. Don't underestimate me; I'm now an eighth-grade weapon refiner!"

Hearing her say that...

Burning Phoenix Eyes sparkled with a smile.

Once the people were certain that there were no more giant corpses in the streets, they slowly emerged and bowed in unison to thank Fen Jue and the others.

"Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life!"

"Thank you so much, esteemed immortals! I have no way to repay your kindness!"

Fen Jue replied succinctly, "It's nothing."

The aftermath still needs to be addressed.

Xiao Canglan went to register the shops destroyed by the giant corpse demon and told them to go to the Nine Heavens Sect to collect spirit stones.

Then hire workers to rebuild it.

Gingerbread distributed medicine to the injured people.

It was already late at night when the group finished their work.

The restaurant where they stayed was not destroyed. When the four of them returned, the owner warmly prepared a table full of dishes.

To express their gratitude for saving their lives, they will not charge for the food.

After eating and drinking.

They went into gingerbread's room together.

The room was burned to the ground and a protective barrier was erected.

His lips moved, and the golden scroll opened, from which a giant ghoul emerged.

Gingerbread waved its little hand and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello, little skeleton!"

The giant ghoul floated on the scroll, its bottom attached to it, its teeth chattering in fear.

"Now answer my questions honestly, or I'll break every bone in your body, understand?"

She eerily frightened the giant corpse ghost.

Fen Jue pinched his temple, feeling a headache coming on, and thought it was absurd that he didn't know who the ghost was.

"Please, ask," the giant ghoul stammered.

"He even knows to say 'please,' the little skeleton is quite polite."

Gingerbread chuckled, then asked seriously, "Who sent you here to cause trouble?"

"You also escaped from the Tower of Corpses?"

The giant ghoul turned its head, and the bones rubbed against each other, making a cracking sound.

"It's a corpse, a skeleton, a tower."

"Night, nothing, light."

Fenjue and Jiangbingbing exchanged a glance.

The two of them had an "I knew it" look on their faces.

The only sect still courting death in the Eight Desolate Continents is the Soul Sect.

They were not surprised at all.

Gingerbread asked again, "Who is the most powerful demon in the Corpse Tower, and what is its cultivation level?"

The giant ghoul trembled, its teeth chattering more frequently, and it looked terrified.

Burning Blade's voice was cold and detached. "Speak."

The way he said that word was incredibly imposing.

"It is, it is a hook, a snake."

Gingerbread: "Hooked snake?"

“A kind of ancient mythical beast,” Fen Jue explained softly.

What he didn't mention was that the Hook Serpent was the mount of the Nine Luminaries King of the Heavenly Palace.

King Jiuyao is clearly in seclusion.

How did his mount end up on the Eight Desolate Continent?

Fen Jue frowned in displeasure. After all, he and King Jiuyao had never gotten along. That man, relying on his nepotistic relationship with the Lord God's Daoist partner, ran rampant in the Heavenly Palace. His own strength was mediocre, but he was arrogant and self-important.

If he is the mastermind behind the chaos in the Eight Desolate Continents.

Slightly tricky.

After all, in the lower realm, Fen Jue couldn't use divine power unless...

He glanced at the gingerbread.

Then he looked away.

The giant corpse demon was so frightened by gingerbread that it confessed everything, including how these ghosts were controlled and that Qu Rao was indeed going to become a Daoist couple with Ye Wuming.

After asking the questions.

The giant ghoul pitifully retracted the scroll.

Su Qinghe frowned. "What should we do?"

Xiao Canglan: "The Hook Serpent is a strange beast. It absorbed the Yin energy of the Corpse Tower and is probably at the late stage of the Void Refinement realm."

It's even possible to reach the half-step tribulation stage.

At this moment, the four people noticed.

Apart from Sect Leader Wuya, the most powerful cultivators in the Eight Desolate Continent have either perished or been captured.

The leaders of the various immortal sects, the head of the Wuyai sect, and the previous palace master of the Mingyue Palace were all at the late stage of the Refining Void Realm.

Liu Zhufeng is in the mid-stage of the Refining Void Realm.

Liu Zhufeng has now been captured and taken to the desolate ancient land, and the former palace master of Mingyue Palace has revealed himself to protect the sect.

The other cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm were all in the early stages.

This is a bit tricky.

Gingerbread suggested, "What if we summoned the Demon Realm and the Eastern Continent's Demon Realm together?"

“Junior sister, even if Xie Yingnan were your senior brother, he probably wouldn’t get involved in this. Since ancient times, the Demon Realm and the Immortal Sect have been sworn enemies. As for the new Demon Lord of the Eastern Continent, I’ve heard he’s quite powerful.”

How can we possibly get them to agree?

Su Qinghe asked the question in a soft tone, but the worry in her eyes remained.

He was quite different from his carefree demeanor yesterday.

They probably never expected the situation to be so serious.

She didn't know that the Demon Lord of the Eastern Continent was Wen Yuzhao. Jiang Bingbing simply said, "Let's give it a try, what if?"

"I'll contact my senior master first and ask him to send invitations to all the immortal sects and the lord of the Eastern Continent of the Demon Realm."

"Then we took the initiative."

She stood up and slammed her hand on the table with great fanfare, "We'll make a scene at Ye Wuming and Qu Rao's wedding!"

"Is passively waiting for death something a swordsman should do?"

Inspired by her resounding words, everyone bit her lip and said firmly, "Junior sister is right. When faced with difficulties, we must rise to the challenge."

"Alright, I'll head back to the Sword Sect with Canglan now. You and Junior Brother Fen can tell Liu Zheng."

Xiao Canglan: "Remember to have Wen Suye make a trip to Mingyue Palace and then go to Qianlai Mountain to invite Elder Huang."

“No problem.” Gingerbread raised his teacup. “I wish us a safe journey and great success.”

"good!"

The four men clinked glasses, tilted their heads back, and drank it all in one gulp.

They immediately split into two groups: Xiao Canglan and Su Qinghe returned to the Sword Sect, while Jiang Bingbing and Fen Jue returned to the Nine Heavens Sect.

On the way back.

She opened the communication jade slip and proposed a plan to take the initiative to attack to Sect Leader Wuya, who readily agreed.

"Little Bing, Ying Nan might be able to help, but who is the Lord of the Eastern Continent?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade him."

Gingerbread paused, hesitated slightly, and finally said, "The Lord of the Eastern Continent is my Second Senior Brother."

Suddenly there was silence on the other end.

"Hello? Uncle-Master? Are you there, Uncle-Master?"

She turned to Fenjue and asked, "Why is my senior uncle so quiet?"

Fen Jue said solemnly, "It's hard not to be frightened."

Two seconds later.

Suddenly, the person opposite him started panting heavily.

Sect Leader Wuya: "Little Bing, you're saying the Lord of the Eastern Continent is that child, Yu Zhao??"

“Yes! Isn’t that amazing?” she said proudly.

"..."

Sect Leader Wuya rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. "Your master is going to get another fright. There's going to be some trouble."

After a long pause, she sighed and asked, "Little Bing, you don't have a secret either, do you?"

"puff……"

"Don't worry, of course I didn't!"

He glanced furtively at Fenjue as he spoke, feeling guilty.

Well what.

She just seems...

I'm starting to like our ancestors?

It's probably not a secret... right?
