Obviously, not only Ji Yuan is distrustful of him, but he is also distrustful of Ji Yuan.
On this journey northward, Ji Yuan thought of another matter.
That is the opportunity for these two Yin Ghosts to advance to the Foundation Establishnt stage.
Ji Yuan bought that black coffin from Bai Piao, and Bai Piao found it from the Ghost Seeking Cave.
At that ti, Ji Yuan was curious why the black coffin was so helpful to the Yin Ghosts.
Even though it contained heavy Yin energy, the effect shouldn’t be this good, right?
Now it seems, that black coffin is probably related to the Yin Ghost Sect.
And it was coincidentally acquired by Ji Yuan and fed to the Yin Ghost.
Therefore, its effect was extraordinarily good, even helping it break through the Foundation Establishnt stage.
’Looks like I really have a bit of fate with the Yin Ghost Sect. Even separated by such a distance, I still encounter it.’
After thinking clearly, Ji Yuan inevitably thought this way in his heart.
As for the Blood Demon behind him, it seems to have really fought with the Wailing Wanderer.
Or maybe it’s chasing down Ye Zhiqiu.
In any case, it didn’t co to hunt down Ji Yuan, so he followed behind the small-statured man northward for more than half a day.
Finally, they arrived in front of a mountain ravine.
The journey had been thrilling yet uneventful, and Ji Yuan followed the small-statured man, avoiding several Earth-bound Spirits.
They didn’t encounter the Ghost Wall or Yin Eroding Wind.
"Ahead is my Cave Mansion. Since it’s our first eting, I’m sure you’re also skeptical of . Let’s talk here."
The small-statured man put away the corpse-wrapping cloth from his body, and his aura was completely revealed.
Ji Yuan clasped his fist towards him and said in a deep voice:
"What do you an, Senior Brother? We’re like family when encountering a fellow from the Yin Ghost Sect in a foreign land. How could I be distrustful?"
"Really?!"
The small-statured man seed very delighted after hearing this. "In that case, Junior Brother, please enter the cave for a discussion."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan got up and walked away.
This made the small-statured man’s smile freeze on his face, and he hurriedly said:
"The Cave Mansion is crude, far less pleasant than the scenery outside. Why don’t we talk out here instead?"
Ji Yuan looked up at the gray sky, "Indeed, the scenery is quite nice."
Both n were cunning. If Ji Yuan really went into the Cave Mansion, he would be anxious; he had only done this to frighten the man sowhat.
Who knew he would be so easily scared.
Seems like he’s timid, even distrustful of a cultivator at the early Foundation Establishnt stage like himself.
"By what Junior Brother said, you’re not a local?"
"I’m not, I’m from out of town."
Ji Yuan answered truthfully.
"Out of town sounds good. I’ve always wanted to travel. By the way, I haven’t introduced myself to Junior Brother yet. I am Ma Xingkong, and I happened to acquire this Yin Ghost Sect inheritance. From what Junior Brother implies... it seems our Yin Ghost Sect still has an established sect? May I ask where it’s located, and could you possibly introduce it to ?"
Ma Xingkong asked while negotiating.
"I am Qiu Qianhai, greetings to Senior Brother Ma."
"As for the sect, there’s none." Ji Yuan shook his head and said: "Are there any other brothers?"
"Yes, I have a junior brother."
Ji Yuan recalled the Ghost Island Master; he did call him senior brother at the ti. Now... though the grass on his grave might be tall, he was still a junior brother, wasn’t he?
"That Junior Brother is fortunate, at least having another fellow sect mber nearby."
Ma Xingkong remarked with so disappointnt, "Since I joined the sect, I’ve been lonely, with no fellow brothers around ."
"Well, I’m here now."
Ji Yuan patted his chest and said: "Don’t worry, Senior Brother Ma, Junior Brother is here."
"Indeed, indeed."
Ma Xingkong wiped his eyes upon hearing Ji Yuan’s words.
A bit over-acted brother... Ji Yuan noted this keenly.
His already limited trust in Ma Xingkong dropped further.
"I witnessed Junior Brother’s battle with the Divine Eagle Palace. It was truly dangerous, especially the Blood Demon of the Wailing Wanderer... very wicked."
Ma Xingkong said with emotion.
"Indeed, that’s why I’m fleeing right away. I haven’t thanked Senior Brother for receiving yet."
Ji Yuan cupped his hands again and wondered internally, where had this fellow hidden earlier, and why hadn’t his Divine Sense detected him? How much had he seen of the battle, particularly regarding exposing his cultivation and potentially witnessing the strong strike against Yin Tongzi?
"We’re brothers, no need for formalities."
Ma Xingkong sat down and waved his hand with a considerate tone toward Ji Yuan:
"The Wailing Wanderer was already injured. Now facing betrayal by the Blood Demon, I estimate he is unlikely to survive. Considering this, Junior Brother might have to find another path."
"Indeed."
Ji Yuan agreed and then asked: "I wonder if Senior Brother Ma has any suggestions, perhaps introduce to so places?"
Ma Xingkong heard this but did not rush to answer.
"Sit, Junior Brother Qiu, let’s talk."
Ma Xingkong gestured.
Ji Yuan took out a chair from his Storage Bag, sat down, and waited silently for what he would say next.
Ma Xingkong stroked the goatee on his chin, pondered for a long ti, and then slowly said: "Junior Brother Qiu, what do you think of our Yin Ghost Sect?"
"Of course, it’s overwhelmingly powerful, no doubt about it."
Ji Yuan responded imdiately, raising his right thumb.
"Indeed, I think so too."
Ma Xingkong was deeply convinced.
Ji Yuan noticed his expression didn’t seem fake... from this perspective, it appeared that the inheritance he received was genuinely powerful, otherwise, he wouldn’t have reacted this way.
Ji Yuan felt it was certainly better than the inheritance he received from the Ghost Island Master.
Strictly speaking, the Yin Ghost Sect inheritance Ji Yuan received only included the Yin Ghost Array and the thod for nurturing Yin Ghosts, and besides that, oh right, there was the Bone-Corrupting Flower.
