[Hua Nianhe is the Lord of Jianyao City, currently the top combat power in the demon realm at the Youjun Realm.]
[He honestly thought he had seen a lot.]
[But looking at the guards of Jianyao City, their bodies showed no wounds, nor were they mentally controlled by any poisonous insects.]
[That made things a bit strange.]
[What exactly caused all the demons present to go so mad?]
[He turned to Feng Zhenxin beside him and quietly asked, “What do you think about this matter?”]
[Feng Zhenxin said nothing but began searching inside the city for his subordinate, the leopard spirit chief Bao.]
[When he found him, Bao had also become a monster driven only by killing.]
[Before Feng Zhenxin, there was no longer any respectful demeanor.]
[Seeing this situation, Feng Zhenxin acted decisively and used the Soul Search Technique on Bao.]
[A moment later, he already knew everything Bao had witnessed.]
[It turned out all the changes began after Ye Yu summoned that giant ape phantom.]
[White-haired and barefoot, with a magnificent aura.]
[What kind of existence was that? Why had no one seen it before?]
[Wait! Ye Yu’s transformation must be because he fused with that drop of ancient great demon blood.]
[Perhaps this was one of the ancient demon’s abilities, causing the demon clans to go completely berserk.]
[But no one had heard before that anyone possessed such a power.]
[Feng Zhenxin pondered deeply and told Hua Nianhe everything he knew.]
[Based on Bao’s experience, he inferred one possibility.]
[That is, Ye Yu’s ability can affect demons at most one major realm above himself.]
[Beyond that, it has no effect. Neither he nor Hua Nianhe felt any discomfort, which was the best proof.]
[Of course, this was just a bold guess for now; the true nature of the ability still needed exploration.]
[No wonder the test on that drop of ancient great demon blood came back inconclusive.]
[Because there was no sample in the blood bank at all.]
[Looks like today when I return, I must check the ancient texts to see what kind of existence that really is!]
[Hua Nianhe was also very interested in Ye Yu and immediately declared that he would arrange people to search for his whereabouts.]
[If possible, capture him alive!]
[Feng Zhenxin shook his head slightly, looked toward the damaged city wall barrier to the north, and softly said, “That guy probably ran far away already.”]
[“To catch him, we’ll have to find another opportunity later!”]
[As Feng Zhenxin predicted, Ye Yu took advantage of the chaos in Jianyao City, broke the city wall barrier, and left the city directly.]
[Now, he was already back inside Yingning Mountain.]
[After confirming no pursuers were behind him, he finally let out a sigh of relief.]
[Then he burst out laughing.]
[Exciting. I have to say, truly exciting!]
[Automatic cultivation felt like a madman training without any regard for consequences.]
[As long as it leads to strength, anything could be done.]
[The main approach was complete taboo-breaking.]
[And Ye Yu was gradually adapting to this intensity. Interesting. Really interesting!]
[At that moment, a resentful voice sounded.]
[“Happy?”]
[Ye Yu turned his head and saw Luo Ning had appeared behind him at some unknown time.]
[Her right hand still held the cultivation manual that had been stepped on.]
[The footprints on it were clearly visible!]
[Remembering what the automatic cultivation had done earlier, Ye Yu felt his face warm with embarrassment — it had indeed gone a bit too far.]
[So he immediately spoke up.]
[“Actually...”]
[Before Ye Yu could finish, Luo Ning suddenly raised her hand to interrupt.]
[She took out a small booklet and handed it over.]
[Ye Yu felt puzzled but still reached out to accept the booklet.]
[Opening it, he saw it was all writing by Luo Ning.]
[It clearly recorded when and where she bought cultivation manuals, hoping to cheer Ye Yu up.]
[But unexpectedly, it had been trampled.]
[If you can’t explain this reasonably, today we’ll settle this to the death!]
[At this point, Luo Ning was truly furious.]
[That wave of resentment hit him head-on.]
[Undoubtedly, when writing this booklet, Luo Ning must have been gritting her teeth!]
[To appease her anger, Ye Yu immediately took out a high-grade heavenly material treasure from his storage ring and stuffed it into Luo Ning’s ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) hand.]
[He explained, “Tonight was actually an accident. My cultivation manual went into deviation, so I did some very abnormal things.”]
[“Didn’t you notice I was somewhat different a few hours ago?”]
[Hearing this, Luo Ning slightly frowned and recalled the earlier scene; it did seem a bit different.]
[At that time, Ye Yu was very cold, as if looking at a stranger.]
[But was it really a cultivation deviation?]
[Who deviates so fast?]
[Luo Ning looked at Ye Yu doubtfully and softly asked, “Really?”]
[“Really! Luckily, I met a noble person by chance, which helped me break free from the mind demon’s control and regain clarity. I also found out the whereabouts of the Bihai Yinchao Technique, currently with a monkey demon named Xiang Hanye.”]
[“If you really want this manual, you have to find that person!”]
[Ye Yu directly told her the information he got inside the Conscience Workshop.]
[After spending time together, Luo Ning’s character was still decent.]
[And her tolerance was strong; she was so angry that she wrote a booklet, but still didn’t hit him.]
[That was already quite rare.]
[So Ye Yu revealing the whereabouts of the Bihai Yinchao Technique was like completing a trade with Luo Ning in advance.]
[As for Feng Zhenxin’s words about meeting at Juliang Mountain in ten days, Ye Yu definitely would not go.]
[Things had already gotten to life-and-death level; there was no way he would walk into a trap.]
[Luo Ning memorized the name Xiang Hanye carefully and sincerely thanked Ye Yu.]
[“Thank you!”]
[“You’re welcome. By the way, thanks for this manual. I’ll return it after I finish reading.”]
[After speaking, Ye Yu took back the cultivation manual from Luo Ning’s hand.]
[Maybe the manual’s grade wasn’t very high.]
[But at least it was a token of Luo Ning’s goodwill.]
[He had to study it carefully!]
[Luo Ning did not refuse but gave a slight salute to Ye Yu and then turned to inquire about Xiang Hanye’s whereabouts.]
[The next day.]
[Ye Yu found a quiet place again and laid out everything he obtained from the Conscience Workshop.]
[Along with the cultivation manual Luo Ning had given.]
