Silence.

Dead silence.

Zhou You was silent, his expression forlorn.

Perhaps, Master was right.

Flying at such a high altitude was indeed dangerous; even if he didn't fall to his death, what if he was eaten? Would it be his fault or his own?

Li Wanji's eyes were complex; a Yin Yang Realm expert had just died like that?

When she went to pursue the Blood Shadow Wolves that had escaped, she had even been agitated by the appearance of a Yin Yang Realm expert. She even thought that the other party's intervention would likely resolve the Blood Shadow Wolf King.

If she remembered correctly, the Blood Shadow Wolf King was still in Xijue City.

If nothing had gone wrong, this Yin Yang Realm expert should be the one she had heard about before.

The problem was, what was he doing running all the way here?

Most importantly, wasn't his death—a bit too tragic?

Xiao Chen hesitated, "He's dead, right?"

Zhou You softly said, "There shouldn't be any reversal, right?"

"Don't speak yet, and don't ask me."

Li Wanji's eyes were dazed, "Let me sort this out, let me be alone for a moment."

Xiao Chen whispered, "What's wrong with her?"

Zhou You shrugged, "Her beliefs collapsed, that's all."

Li Wanji walked to the side and sat blankly on the ground, feeling completely disoriented.

That was a Yin Yang Realm expert!

For ordinary people, even Breakthrough to the Zhen Xuan Realm was a dream, let alone the higher level Yin Yang Realm?

She hadn't even had time to say a word, hadn't had time to admire the expert's demeanor, and hadn't even had time to ask for an autograph or anything, and he was just gone?

After a while, Li Wanji still sat there blankly, her eyes vacant.

Zhou You walked over, "What are you doing?"

Li Wanji struggled to look up at Zhou You, "I've been longing to see a Yin Yang Realm expert..."

Zhou You was puzzled, "Didn't you see one? And it's the most precious posthumous appearance."

Li Wanji lowered her head, burying it between her knees, "Why is it so difficult to meet an expert?"

"What's difficult about it?"

Zhou You shrugged, "Look at me, I'm pretty strong. Besides, what does it matter to you whether others are strong or not? My Master is strong too, but I haven't seen him teach me an extra move or two, have I?"

Li Wanji's voice was low, "You won't understand my feelings. I want to have a goal, I want to talk to those experts, even if they just give me one piece of advice?"

Zhou You rolled his eyes, "Later, I'll recommend you to the Moon Emperor Sect, and you'll be able to see them every day."

Li Wanji whispered, "You won't understand..."

"Hey, I say, why are you acting so effeminate?"

Zhou You instantly became indignant, "Can't you have some ambition? If you really can't do it, then hurry back to the city; you're just wasting time."

Li Wanji stood up angrily, her tall and sturdy figure immediately exuding a sense of oppression.

Zhou You said, "That's right, it's such a small matter, acting like your own father died."

Li Wanji was annoyed, "Why are you so lacking in empathy?"

Zhou You's expression was calm, "Although I have limited experience, I am older. Do you think I'm really like you children?"

Li Wanji stared, what kind of ridiculous excuse was that?

Zhou You turned to look at Xiao Chen, "Xiao Chen, when that golden eagle ate someone just now, did something fall down?"

Xiao Chen thought carefully, "It seems like something really did fall down."

Zhou You's expression brightened, "Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up."

Xiao Chen suddenly understood and ran towards that direction, dragging her dog leg.

"Forget the dog leg."

Zhou You moved swiftly, "Treasure is more important."

Xiao Chen anxiously said, "It's okay, I'll still bring it."

Li Wanji also quickly followed, rushing towards the area below where the golden eagle had swallowed the person.

In a flat area, a sword was stuck in a stone.

The sword blade was two fingers wide, two feet six inches long, and the sword tassel swayed in the wind.

Zhou You moved like the wind, grabbing the hilt of the sword and feeling the trace of spirituality contained within it, he couldn't help but smile broadly.

It was actually a Low Grade Spirit Sword!

"Brother, I saw the weapon first."

A scar-faced man, holding a thick-backed broadsword, strode over.

As he spoke, eight more people appeared behind him, each holding a broadsword, looking formidable.

Zhou You turned his head; Li Wanji and Xiao Chen had just caught up.

Seeing the scar-faced man, Li Wanji's expression immediately changed. She quickly walked to Zhou You's side and whispered, "This person is Ma Shangsi, a Zhen Xuan Realm Master. He has formed a gang in Ye City, and they have many members. We cannot afford to provoke them."

Although she didn't use a sword, she could tell that this was indeed a Low Grade Spirit Sword!

Its value was immense, the kind that even selling their entire family wouldn't be enough to buy.

But if they didn't hand it over, what then?

Would they really sacrifice several lives for a single sword?

Zhou You toyed with it for a moment, then calmly looked at the other party, "What's the use of seeing it first? I got it first, so it's naturally mine."

Ma Shangsi chuckled, "Little brother, you look very unfamiliar. Are you new to Ye City?"

A large area was considered within the scope of Ye City, as it was the entrance and exit.

As he spoke, the people he brought surrounded them.

Li Wanji suppressed her anger, "Senior Ma, we'll give you the item. Please be lenient."

Zhou You hummed, "I just arrived. Is there a problem?"

Ma Shangsi smiled, "Young man, don't be so hot-headed. Losing your life over external possessions is truly not worth it."

Zhou You smiled, "You stole my line."

Ma Shangsi laughed heartily, "Bold enough, little brother. You're not old, but you're very arrogant. I, Ma, am not talented, but I founded the Fengyun Gang with two brothers. Nothing else, just the principle that unity is strength."

Zhou You nodded, "I understand. You're trying to scare me."

Ma Shangsi smiled, "Little brother, your attitude doesn't seem like you're here to discuss things."

Zhou You chuckled, "You're clearly blocking the road and robbing us, extorting us. How did that become discussing things?"

"Vice Gang Leader Ma, what's the point of talking so much nonsense with him? Just chop them up!"

A big man waved his broadsword, yelling ferociously.

The others all raised their swords, their roars shaking the heavens.

Li Wanji's expression was grim, and she anxiously said, "Just give him the weapon!"

Most Loose Cultivators were disorganized, but they had the ability to form gangs.

"Gang Leader Ma, Gang Leader Ma."

A figure scurried over.

Ma Shangsi turned his head, his brow immediately raising, "Old Dog?"

Old Dog smiled obsequiously, "What a coincidence, truly too much of a coincidence, how did we just happen to meet here?"

Ma Shangsi's gaze wandered, seeing the Filthy Youth slowly approaching.

Ma Shangsi coldly said, "You didn't come here sniffing around, did you?"

Old Dog quickly leaned over and whispered, "Gang Leader Ma, this person is extraordinary. I'm also saving your life. He has a very strong background, and there's a Dao Protector hidden nearby."

Ma Shangsi raised an eyebrow, and before he could speak, Old Dog said again, "Think about it carefully, if he really was just an ordinary Fan Blood Realm, would he dare to go deep into this place? At most, he'd just wander around near the city gate."
