Therefore, if the three of them were to meditate and recover their true energy, they would only need two sheds: one for Ji Lanying, one for Zhu Yuande and Zhu Yuancheng, and the remaining one for Chen Zhou.

"I've finished speaking. Now it's your turn, right?" Chen Zhou stopped and asked Ji Lanying.

The two had agreed to exchange information, and now that Chen Zhou had finished speaking, it was Ji Lanying's turn.

Ji Lanying also stopped with Chen Zhou, thought for a moment, then organized her thoughts and said, "He's not from here, just like us."

Chen Zhou was speechless. If they weren't from here, where exactly were they referring to?

"Where?" Chen Zhou asked.

“He is not from the South; he comes from a faraway place, the West. We have very little contact with that race,” Ji Lanying said slowly.

"The West?" Chen Zhou muttered to himself, then took out a map from his storage ring and began to look at it.

The map of this Tianyun Continent shows very little about the west; there is only a large palace symbol, and not even a name. The rest of the map is blank.

This was the first time Chen Zhou had encountered this problem since he started looking at the map. He hadn't studied the west and east sides of the map carefully before, and when he looked to the east, he found the same thing.

"Why is there no record of the west and east on this map of Tianyun Continent?" Chen Zhou was completely confused. He remembered that when the elder handed him this map, he specifically told him not to lose it. This was the most detailed map of Tianyun Continent at present. The most detailed map is this? There are no symbols for the west and east at all.

This really surprised Chen Zhou. The fact that the Natal tribe was marked on the map had already made Chen Zhou a little suspicious. Now, with such a big blunder, how credible is this map?

Chen Zhou couldn't help but begin to have doubts.

The authenticity of this map.

However, Chen Zhou had been using this route from the South to the North without making any major mistakes along the way. This proved that the route from the South to the North was clearly marked on the map.

This can be considered a stroke of luck amidst misfortune for Chen Zhou.

“Generally speaking, it’s very difficult for maps produced in your southern and northern countries to include detailed maps of the west and east. This is too difficult for you, and you don’t need them anyway,” Ji Lanying explained slowly.

"Are you also from the West?" Chen Zhou asked curiously.

Ji Lanying nodded and continued, "It is precisely because I come from the West that I know that person, and that's why he doesn't dare to kill us. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, he would never agree to let the three of us go; he would only let you go at most."

Upon hearing Ji Lanying's words, Chen Zhou immediately fell silent. It seemed that many problems could be solved with these words. The reason why the mysterious man agreed to his request was that even if he couldn't break the formation, he would let Ji Lanying and the other two go, and then he would be the one to die.

If I break the formation, then the three of them will live as promised, and then I can also live as promised.

Chen Zhou felt a cold sweat break out on his back. So, if he hadn't successfully broken the formation, he would have really been killed by the mysterious person? And Ji Lanying and the other two wouldn't be killed regardless of whether he broke the formation or not?

"So what exactly is his purpose? What did you mean by 'soul' just now?" Chen Zhou continued to ask.

Ji Lanying hadn't fully explained it yet, and he was still completely confused.

"Don't rush, let me explain slowly. This matter is a bit complicated to explain. I just want to tell you where that mysterious person comes from. You are now being targeted by him, and you still have the Blood Demon Seed he planted in your body, so he knows your whereabouts and your strength very clearly," Ji Lanying said.

"What? He knows everything about my whereabouts and my strength?" Chen Zhou's voice rose several decibels, and his expression changed drastically!

How come he didn't even know about this Blood Demon Seed? Chen Zhou didn't even feel a thing, yet he was planted with the seed?!

“Yes, I felt that sensation inside your body. Someone in our sect was also infected by this thing, so I know its aura very well,” Ji Lanying continued in her reply.

"Can you explain it clearly? Why don't I feel anything at all?" Chen Zhou said quickly.

Chen Zhou suddenly became anxious and a little agitated. He had originally thought that if the mysterious person came looking for him, he would at most search for him on the mainland. He thought he could just hide in the Sword Cloud Sect and not come out, and the mysterious person would definitely not be able to find him.

Now, suddenly there's this Blood Demon Seed.

Chen Zhou was completely stunned. Moreover, the mysterious person knew everything about Chen Zhou's whereabouts and strength. If Chen Zhou's strength had reached that level, the mysterious person would probably come looking for him immediately, and a great battle would be inevitable.

Chen Zhou naturally didn't want things to turn out this way.

After completing the task assigned by the sect, Chen Zhou was going to return to the sect and live a carefree life there, which would ruin all his plans.

"Don't get excited! You're still young, why are you always thinking about living a retirement life in the sect ahead of time?" Elder Ren said immediately after hearing Chen Zhou's thoughts. In fact, Elder Ren also knew about the Blood Demon Seed and had sensed its aura, but he was in no hurry to tell Chen Zhou. Instead, he wanted to see how Ji Lanying would talk to Chen Zhou.

"You won't be aware of this Blood Demon Seed, and it won't affect your strength at all. On the contrary, it will help you grow stronger. Can you feel your true energy flowing more and more smoothly in your body?" Ji Lanying explained immediately when she saw Chen Zhou's excited expression.
