Following the direction pointed out by Hei Xiangling, the group saw a golden city standing tall in the vast desert, and behind the city was a golden pyramid, shining like a dazzling pearl under the blazing sun.

A gust of wind swept by, stirring up waves of sand, but it could not obscure the golden city and pyramids, which seemed to be works of art created by nature, desolate yet mysterious.

"Let's go, let's enter the city first."

Soon the group arrived at the gate of the desolate city. Because it was an uncontrolled city, there was no one guarding it.

The group had barely entered the city when—bang!

A man covered in blood flew over and slammed into their face. Ji Jiuying frowned instinctively, and just as she was about to leave, the man grabbed her foot.

"Help, help me."

Just as Hei Xiangling was about to step forward and pull the man away, they were surrounded by a group of people.

"You bitch, I advise you to mind your own business and hand this man over to me."

The leader said arrogantly.

A flash of murderous intent crossed Ji Jiuying's cold eyes, but considering the complexity of this desolate city and her current predicament, she didn't want to cause trouble. However, Hei Xiangling couldn't stand it.

"You filthy beggar, how dare you insult my girl? I'll make you pay!"

The demonic energy that had been gathering in the shadows was also poised to be unleashed.

Ji Jiuying stopped her, saying, "Xiangling, we're here to find someone. It's better to avoid trouble."

Hei Xiangling then forced herself to swallow her anger.

Ji Jiuying glanced down at the person lying on the ground holding her feet, and her cold voice came.

"Sorry, I don't want to cause trouble! And I have no obligation to save you."

Unexpectedly, the person at her feet hugged her even tighter, their voice weak.

"Girl, please, save me..."

"Let go."

"No, young lady, I have... I have a white tiger egg. If you're willing to help me, I'm willing to give you the white tiger egg..."

After saying that, the man spat out another mouthful of blood. Ji Jiuying narrowed her eyes, her face showing a hint of interest.

"Are you serious?"

"Absolutely true..."

The group surrounding Ji Jiuying had their eyes gleaming and their faces contorted with malice. That damned Li Mobai would rather be beaten to death than tell them the whereabouts of the White Tiger Pill.

"You slut, it seems you're going to meddle in other people's business!"

The leading man glared fiercely at Ji Jiuying and the others!

Ji Jiuying glanced at Hei Xiangling, whose lips curled up slightly as she sneered. She had been putting up with these little bastards for a long time.

The spiritual energy gathered in Hei Xiangling's palm transformed into a sharp blade, striking out with overwhelming power towards the people surrounding them from all directions.

In an instant!

A series of wails and screams echoed from all around. The once-aggressive group of people fell to the ground one by one, becoming the victims of the girl in black's blade.

Only when the leader's head was severed and rolled to the ground did the remaining men stare wide-eyed in horror, hurriedly dropping their knives and kneeling before Hei Xiangling.

"Young hero, spare my life! Young hero, spare my life!"

Pfft—

The group stared wide-eyed in horror, dying in pools of blood with their eyes wide open. The other rogue cultivators in the desolate city stared in disbelief at Hei Xiangling and her group, whispering amongst themselves.

Hei Xiangling smiled bloodthirstyly: "You've asked the wrong person. This young lady is anything but kind..."

Ji Jiuying showed no sympathy for these people, including the ones at her feet. Everyone in the desolate city was a villain, and killings and the farmer and the snake were happening all the time.

However, she was indeed interested in the white tiger egg. If he had lied to her, his fate would not have been any better than these people's, because she was not a kind person either!

"Eat it."

A medicine bottle fell to the ground. Without hesitation, the man poured out the pills from the bottle and swallowed them.

However, the man's injuries were too severe, and it would take a long time to heal his wounds with just pills. A green light spread out from Ji Jiuying's palm and surrounded the man. The man was not stupid; he instantly circulated his spiritual energy to promote the absorption of the pills and healing techniques.

After a short while, the man stopped, slowly stood up, and bowed slightly to Ji Jiuying and the others: "My name is Li Mobai. Thank you all for saving my life."

"Now that things have recovered, you should keep your promise."

Ji Jiuying said indifferently.

A hint of unease flashed across Li Mobai's face, while Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold: "You're lying to me?"

Li Mobai's heart trembled, and he quickly explained, "Miss, no, I did not, I did not deceive you. It's just that the white tiger egg is not in my possession at the moment."

Where is it?

"She is in the hands of my sister, Li Moning. I will take you to her now."

"If you dare to lie to me, you should know what will happen to you."

The group followed Li Mobai to his home, which was more like a dilapidated thatched hut than a home. Various kinds of garbage and straw were piled up around it, and the stench made them frown.

"This stinks!"

Li Mobai's face flushed instantly, a hint of apology flashing across his face.

"Feel sorry······"

"You all wait here for me, I'll go and bring my sister out."

With that, Li Mobai entered the thatched hut.

Carry her out? Does he think his sister can't walk yet?

Half an incense stick later, Li Mobai still hadn't brought his sister out, Qingling said in a cold voice.

"Sister, he might be lying! I'll go in and check."

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of rustling sounds came from the thatched hut. Li Mobai was seen carrying a girl who looked to be about ten years old. The girl was still sleepy and looked like she had just woken up.

Her watery eyes looked a little dazed and empty as she nestled in Li Mobai's arms.

Si Yu and Hua Li exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes. This was the Profound Yin Physique!

Unlike Lanxi's Extreme Yin Body, the Profound Yin Body is formed innately, and its body temperature is generally much lower than that of a normal person. If the temperature drops to a certain level, it will turn into a living, frozen corpse.

The desert has a relatively high temperature, which is just right to suppress the Xuan Yin Body within her, which is why Li Mobai brought her to live here.

Ji Jiuying also learned about her situation from Xie Huo, but she didn't want to care about it.

"Li Mobai, where's the white tiger egg?"

"The white tiger egg is inside my sister Li Moning's spiritual sea..."

"No, are you kidding us?" Hei Xiangling frowned unhappily and said coldly.

"Our time is very precious, we'd better make her hand it over right now!"

“Young heroes, I did not mean to conceal anything. A month ago, my sister went to the pyramids. She only took a few steps inside the entrance and came back like this. She doesn't recognize anyone, can't speak, and can't hear anyone. For the past month, I have asked her countless times to bring out the White Tiger Egg, but it seems she can't hear me. She just stares blankly ahead all day long…”
