Chapter 368: Second Step Peak, Hehuan Shangren Has Arrived!

Three cobblers can equal a Zhuge Liang.

Furthermore, whether it is Ye Bai, Situ Chengdao, or the Four Saints, none of them are cobblers; they are existences that have grown up after experiencing countless life-and-death crises!

"Ye Bai, I have an idea..."

Soon, Situ Chengdao's eyes brightened, and he said.

After listening, Ye Bai immediately felt that Situ Chengdao's idea had merit!

Ye Bai and the Four Saints, based on Situ Chengdao's suggestion, further refined it in various ways.

Soon, a daring plan took shape—one that would force them to face two Third Step Great Demonic Cultivators if exposed, but also one that could allow Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao to execute a strategy of driving a wolf to devour a tiger, successfully escaping the Tianren Sect and even the Southern Region!

It was still this late night!

Outside the Tianren Sect.

There were still many Second Step Great Demonic Cultivators wandering in this vicinity!

They were not the same batch of Great Demonic Cultivators from half a month ago; in fact, batch after batch had already been replaced.

The reason why people were still frantically searching for Ye Bai was that, although half a month had passed, many Great Demonic Cultivators had given up because there had been no clues about Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao to this day.

But there were still those who were unwilling, or rather, could not just give up, coveting the benefits offered by Hehuan Shangren!

These Great Demonic Cultivators wandering near the Tianren Sect were exactly such people.

And among these Great Demonic Cultivators, there was a Second Step Peak Great Demonic Cultivator named Zhao Guang.

He was the ancestor of a Great Demonic Cultivator sect, a trump-card figure who had long ago fallen into a deep slumber to seal himself, trying every possible way to extend his own Longevity.

When Hehuan Shangren's bounty appeared, Zhao Guang happened to come out of seclusion, not because his sect had encountered a fatal crisis that required his protection.

But because, no matter how much Zhao Guang extended his Longevity, his lifespan was nearing its limit!

He had at most a few months left to live.

Originally, Zhao Guang's intention was to come out to enjoy his final time, such as slaughtering millions of natives or lower-caste people, or perhaps at the very last moment, getting his hands on hundreds of pure and innocent women.

Hehuan Shangren's bounty instantly ignited Zhao Guang's hope for survival.

As long as he could capture Ye Bai, he could step into the Third Step with the help of Hehuan Shangren!

At that time, his lifespan would instantly skyrocket by tens of thousands of years; not only would he not die, but he would also not need to slumber in seclusion and could wantonly enjoy life!

"Where is he? Where exactly is he?!"

"I have already traveled across most of the Southern Region, why haven't I even seen a shadow of that so-called Ye Bai until now?!"

"Ye Bai, I beg you, come out, appear before me. As long as you let me break through to the Third Step, I will burn many women down to accompany you in the future—burned alive, I guarantee they will still be fresh and authentic when they get down there!"

These were the words Zhao Guang kept muttering to himself at this moment!

And it was just as Zhao Guang was temporarily staying at a distance of about 200,000 meters from the Tianren Sect, having instantly swept his Mental Power across an uninhabited mountain range in front of him, and was preparing to give up on the spot and go to the next place because he found no human figures.

"Swish!" At the extreme limit of his Mental Power coverage, a dense wave composed of golden characters suddenly surged!

A Second Step First Stage Great Demonic Cultivator was instantly beaten into a Blood Mist!

"A strange power composed of characters..."

"It's Ye Bai!!"

Zhao Guang instantly remembered something and became excited!

When Hehuan Shangren issued the bounty, it included the appearances of Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao, as well as Ye Bai's unique abilities.

Zhao Guang felt that his opportunity to break through to the Third Step had arrived!

He quickly arrived at the scene, where there was only a deep pit left by the power of Wensheng and the remains of Great Demonic Cultivators scattered everywhere.

"Where is the person? Where is he?!"

"A mere Mortal Realm, it is already a miracle to be able to kill a Second Step Great Demonic Cultivator; how could he run so fast?!"

Zhao Guang felt such hatred—why wasn't the Great Demonic Cultivator who just faced Ye Bai him?

"No, this Great Demonic Cultivator's soul is still here; I can force information out of him!"

"Haha, Ye Bai is not an orthodox Great Demonic Cultivator; he doesn't know that for us Great Demonic Cultivators, even if a person dies, as long as the soul remains, we can obtain the information we want!"

Zhao Guang then conducted an investigation and discovered a pleasant surprise.

Soon, a pitch-black figure appeared before him; it was the soul he had detained using Great Demonic Cultivator methods.

"I ask and you answer, was it Ye Bai who killed you?"

"Yes..."

"Where did Ye Bai go?!"

"I don't know..."

"Did Ye Bai say any useful information?"

"Yes, he said he had been hiding in the Tianren Sect all along, and he had already taken Kuteng Shangren as his master; this is the reason why so many Great Demonic Cultivators couldn't find him..."

"He also advised me not to think about doing anything to him, saying he was no longer what he used to be after being taught by Kuteng Shangren, but I didn't believe him, and was killed by him in an instant."

Zhao Guang interrogated him up to this point, and there was no more information.

Zhao Guang also frowned instantly!

Kuteng Shangren, a Third Step Great Demonic Cultivator!

How could Zhao Guang have imagined that this would involve such a person!

In this way, it was impossible for him to capture Ye Bai alive and then go to Hehuan Shangren to exchange for the reward!

He extinguished the Great Demonic Cultivator's soul and left while deep in thought.

It is worth mentioning that soon his Mental Power discovered another Second Step, First Stage "Great Demonic Cultivator".

This Great Demonic Cultivator's eyes were full of fear.

"Damn it, how could Ye Bai have taken Kuteng Shangren as his master? And before I chased him to the Tianren Sect, he even dared to declare that from today on, whoever continues to hunt him down, Kuteng Shangren will not let them off."

"He even said that Hehuan Shangren is just a bitch, and that even if Hehuan Shangren came, he wouldn't dare do anything to him again, and that Kuteng Shangren would protect him..."

"Forget it, I'd better go back. This matter already involves two Third Step Great Demonic Cultivators; it's no longer something a Second Step First Stage demonic cultivator like me can get involved in."

Zhao Guang... listening to that demonic cultivator's words, his first reaction was to kill him to silence him, so that he alone would possess all the information!

He discovered that as the demonic cultivator walked, he suddenly died, and countless vines emerged from his body.

Zhao Guang felt this was the work of Kuteng Shangren; while terrified, he was also excited.

At top speed, he turned his head and ran, heading straight for Moyuan City!

"I didn't capture Ye Bai, not because I didn't want to, but because Kuteng Shangren is protecting him, willing to offend a massive number of demonic cultivators for his sake, and even looks down on Hehuan Shangren!"

"The key is that Ye Bai has already returned to the Tianren Sect, and the other demonic cultivator is dead; I am currently the only one who knows this news!"

"As long as I tell Hehuan Shangren about this first, I will have performed a great service!"

"If I then proceed to curry favor with Hehuan Shangren, it is possible that Hehuan Shangren will help me step into the Third Step!"

Zhao Guang arrived at Moyuan City very quickly!

He also met Hehuan Shangren!

"You are saying that Ye Bai is with Kuteng Shangren..."

Zhao Guang revealed the intelligence.

Hehuan Shangren's eyes turned cold instantly!

"Yes, Shangren, I, Zhao Guang, swear on my reputation as a demonic cultivator that everything I have said is absolutely true, without a shred of falsehood!"

"Shangren, Kuteng Shangren does not speak of morality, and I am willing to follow you, Shangren, to crusade against Kuteng Shangren together!"

Zhao Guang said.

Hehuan Shangren moved...

Heading straight for the Tianren Sect!
