Yin Ba opened his mouth and honestly said, "We are the Shadow Pavilion's Silver Ugly Squad, and our employer is..."

Before his name could even be uttered, Ginpachi's head exploded with a bang, splattering red and white blood everywhere.

Su Jiuli, without changing her expression, used her spiritual power to scramble away the brain matter, and then burned it completely with a fireball spell.

Walking up to the other two, he figured he probably wouldn't get any more information out of them, so he decided to just end it there.

The Shadow Pavilion is the number one assassin organization in the spirit world. Their rule is that once they have the money and accepted the mission, they will fight to the death against their target.

So there might be some minor troubles ahead.

Lin Shuangluo only realized what was happening at this moment, and said in an annoyed tone, "Senior Brother, how come you're so quick? I haven't even had a chance to ask a question yet."

Su Jiuli felt that this guy had some kind of problem with his brain, otherwise his reaction time was too long.

Ye Sisi patted Lin Shuangluo's shoulder sympathetically and said quietly, "Third Senior Brother, be quicker next time."

Lin Shuangluo...

Okay, he just got distracted.

However, he still protested, "No, why do they only kill you and not me?"

Ye Sisi and the other two fell silent upon hearing this, wondering how this person's thought process had become so convoluted.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ye Sisi's mind: what kind of enemy was someone who was in the spirit world, someone she, Su Jiuli, and Ye Shubai all shared, and someone who had no grudge against Lin Shuangluo?

It seems that only the snake demon that emerged after the blood river in the Sealed Spirit Galaxy was destroyed.

"Snake demon!"

The three of them spoke almost in unison; if Lin Shuangluo hadn't kept nagging, they probably wouldn't have thought of coming here.

Lin Shuangluo was completely bewildered: "What snake demon? Where did this snake demon come from?"

Ye Sisi ignored Lin Shuangluo and said to herself, "That's not right. We've been up here for so long. If it really was the person behind the priest, wouldn't they have made a move long ago? Why wait until now?"

Su Jiuli and Ye Shubai also frowned. Moreover, if it was that person who did it, why didn't they take action themselves instead of having the Shadow Pavilion assassinate them? It didn't make sense.

Ye Sisi shook her head: "Forget it, let's just deal with whatever comes our way. If it really is that snake demon behind this, we might be able to follow the clues and find a secret realm similar to the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land."

Su Jiuli and Ye Shubai nodded, their strength was still too weak.

Ye Sisi finally had a chance to answer Lin Shuangluo: "The snake demon is the one we were with before..."

Lin Shuanglu remained silent, only then realizing that perhaps it was a little too late.

"Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother, let's not go out to play. It's more important to focus on cultivation and improve our strength."

The three nodded. After all that commotion, they had lost their mood for playing. Oh well, weakness is the original sin, and they weren't qualified to play now.

"Isn't there a Qingyun Inn in Ning'an City? How about we go there for seclusion? Whoever doesn't break through to the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage within three days will become the junior brother."

Lin Shuangluo said irritably, "Junior Sister, you're a bit too confident. Besides, the ranking is based on the order of entry, not cultivation level."

Ye Sisi thought about it seriously for a moment, and then said, "Alright, whoever hasn't broken through to the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm will receive a dozen super-version of the 'Tendon-Pulling Talisman,' the kind I've newly improved."

The three people, including Su Jiuli, froze. Damn it, did they have to be so ruthless?

Ye Sisi added, "And she has to have cramps up in front of everyone on the street."

The three remained silent, wondering what strange things this girl was thinking about all day long.

Su Jiuli laughed and said, "Don't go back on your word when you lose."

Ye Sisi smiled confidently: "Hmph, there's no way I could lose."

The group decided in a few words to spend lavishly to go to Qingyun Inn for secluded cultivation, mainly because the cultivation rooms at Qingyun Inn were truly excellent.

Putting aside the spiritual energy that's almost condensed into mist, the pool full of pure white stalactites is an irresistible sacred object for cultivation.

Moreover, each room also has a sword array specifically for tempering the soul. Although it is not as effective as the soul millstone in the Sealed Spirit Galaxy, it is still quite good, at least the pain is quite intense.

If they couldn't break through two minor realms in three days while secluded in such a cultivation room, they might as well give up and die.

The slow pace of cultivation in the Azure Realm is due to insufficient spiritual energy, which is the nature of the environment.

Although the Spirit Realm has been severely ravaged by the Demon Race, the concentration and purity of its spiritual energy are far superior to those of the Azure Realm. Moreover, the spiritual energy contains a certain amount of innate primordial energy, which is something the Azure Realm does not possess. Absorbing it is not only incredibly comfortable, but the cultivation speed is also outstanding.

The four of them slightly altered their appearance and aura, and then began their seclusion at the Qingyun Inn.

However, Su Jiuli and Ye Sisi encountered a small problem.

The problem is that they only need one room, but there's only one stalactite pool, and one pool isn't enough for the two of them to suck up.

But the innkeeper refused to add an extra portion, not even for extra money, unless he opened another room.

The key issue is that if they have to open another room, they'll have to cultivate separately, and their cultivation speed won't be comparable to that of dual cultivation.

Ye Sisi had never seen such a rigid boss before; business was practically pouring in.

Having no other choice, the two opened a cultivation room to cultivate for the time being.

As soon as Ye Sisi entered the room, she saw the stalactite pool in the center of the cultivation room.

The entire room was filled with a serene, hazy atmosphere, like rising steam, as if the stalactite pool in front of you were a hot spring, making you want to soak in it.
