there is no need to overwhelm a junior in such a manner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at Li Jiujiu and said, “Regardless of whether the young lady truly possesses a rare treasure, whether to inform us is at her discretion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no need for anyone to react so fervently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu thought to herself that finally, someone reasonable had spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded her head in acknowledgment and was about to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the middle-aged man signaled with his eyes, and immediately two people obstructed her path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu couldn’t hide her emotions and said angrily, “What does this mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged cultivator from Feiyue stated, “With the young lady’s strength, since she is unable to obtain the Ghost Crystal, it would be better for her to rest well here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This round, let me take the young lady’s place.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This middle-aged cultivator did not step forward when everyone had previously asked her to leave Cold Pavilion to seek the Ghost Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu wasn’t foolish; she knew what he was plotting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly turned around and said, “Are you worried that I will abandon you all?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was laughable, for with her cultivation still present here, she would not be of any help to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it seemed that going out to face death was acceptable, but fleeing alone was absolutely forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged cultivator lowered his eyes and said, “I think even Zhang, who protected you earlier, would not readily let the young lady leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing more than the inherent failing of humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether she lived or died was insignificant to them; the true concern was if she would leave this place and reveal the news of the mine, which they did not want to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a treasure for protection, she ultimately would not be able to leave this place surrounded by cultivators of the Sea Expansion Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged cultivator exited Cold Pavilion for her, controlling his sword to vanish into the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yaotang pulled Li Jiujiu aside and whispered, “Although we are not from the same sect, my aunt has shown you a lot of affection on the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought we had already formed no inconsiderable friendship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiujiu, your words and actions today have truly disappointed me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu, still young, felt a surge of frustration and sadness at being reproached in such a manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, “I don’t know what I have done to deeply disappoint you, Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this so-called disappointment be mere unfounded malicious speculation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yaotang’s eyes brightened as he said, “Could it be that Jiujiu never thought of leaving?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu shook her head, “Before descending Ghost Mountain, Elder Wen left a bell rope on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it, I can find her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this explanation, Zhang Yaotang’s expression eased somewhat, and he said, “That may be true, but Jiujiu, you must understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she is my aunt, the ore vein here is extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I were to present it to the sect, the credit would be mine, and my prospects within the Jingyue Sect would then be boundless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My aunt already holds a high position and status; there is no need to gild the lily with this contribution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, his gaze turned eager, and he reached out to grasp her hand, “I have nothing but sincere feelings for Jiujiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I achieve anything in the future, I will naturally not treat you unfairly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jiujiu had not expected to hear such words, especially with his wife nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A feeling of disgust arose within her, and she avoided his approaching hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last remnants of courtesy in her eyes dissipated without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhang Yaotang, have some self-respect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yaotang’s face flushed with embarrassment as his wife’s gaze sliced across his face like a knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He awkwardly withdrew his hand and looked outside the pavilion, saying, “Strange, why hasn’t Ren Dechuan returned yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t a deliberate change of topic; most people within the pavilion wore expressions of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ren Dechuan was the middle-aged cultivator who had gone out in search of the Ghost Crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghost Pearl on the eaves was riddled with cracks and could shatter at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the defending Spiritual Artifact was broken, they would have no way to fly out of the territory of the rotten corpse Demon Wolves with Sword Control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another quarter of an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an entire hour, no one could withstand the Demon Wolves that spread across the mountains and plains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ren Dechuan had not yet returned, then only one possibility remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s faces began to show the despair of a trapped beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Mou Chen showed no signs of sorrow in his eyes, taking it for granted as he asked, “Who is next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s expressions changed drastically, for Ren Dechuan was the oldest among them and, aside from Mou Chen, had the most profound cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this time he went out, he never returned…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, in the darkness nearby, two faint green flames ignited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone held their breath as if suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having fought through the night, they all understood that these green flames were the eyes of the rotten corpse Demon Wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they had never seen such chillingly bright eyes of a Demon Wolf before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red-brown wolf fur passed through the darkness, and this Demon Wolf actually walked upright on its hind legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its powerful limbs still resembled those of a Demon Wolf, but from its waist up, it had transformed to resemble a human by eighty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its face and features were outlined like a man’s, but covered with a layer of murderous red-brown fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its shoulders were broad, its figure tall and sturdy, like a wall, and even from a distance, the stench of decay emanated from its body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This rotten corpse Demon Wolf…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>had actually Transformed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the people inside the pavilion saw what he was dragging in his hand, their faces turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ren Dechuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His death was gruesome, with an arrow piercing through the center of his forehead, boring a terrible black hole through his spirit platform and soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes and viscera had been gouged out, leaving a bloody, chaotic trail behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind this half-Transformed rotten corpse Demon Wolf, a sea of Demon Wolves licked the fresh blood on the ground, their cruel nature glinting in their eerie green eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leading Demon Wolf King had a mocking human glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flung Ren Dechuan high into the air, a full hundred meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pack of Demon Wolves behind him let out famished roars and leaped, stepping on their kin to reach the same height, catching him in their jaws!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they tore him apart protectively, as if sharing prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And soon, his body was divided clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a gruesome scene made everyone’s spine tingle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Eighth-grade Sea Expansion Realm cultivator had died just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to be attacked by so many Demon Wolves, even if they could control their swords, the time they could fly at a certain height was limited, and it wouldn’t be faster than the jumping speed of the wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single bite would mean a death with no place for burial!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Demon Wolf King was deliberately demonstrating his power to them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolves surrounded them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The half-human Demon Wolf came to the corner of the pavilion, and as everyone watched in terror, his hand reached through the protective barrier of the Spiritual Artifact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Array Light flickered, dissolving the fur-covered back of his hand into blood and flesh, revealing white bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, everyone felt a surge of tension, but still couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>",1328,"2026-06-06T15:16:24.480Z",1,"novelbin.me","57671085c2ad4cd0b0adbca16a270542e006ac81142f3bea22c9aadc20fd2721","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-331","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-329",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
