Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Meanwhile, on the other side, when Zhou Qingfeng found a way to leave Spiral Town, Yan Bipo and the others reunited through their communication bracelets. However, this time, one person was missing, leaving only Yan Bipo, Li Ergou, and Zhao Ying, three peak-level cultivators of the Food Fiend Realm.

Inside the house, Yan Bipo asked with a hint of anxiety and unease, "Where is Junior Sister Shen?"

Zhao Ying, dressed in red, was petite with a baby face full of collagen, looking like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. However, she was extremely voluptuous, especially her breasts, which were particularly eye-catching. She held a sharp dagger and wiped it, saying indifferently, "Didn't see anything. Maybe they're dead."

Yan Bipo frowned slightly, his sharp eyes fixed on the simple-minded Li Ergou, and asked in a cold voice, "Did you see it?"

Li Ergou chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head: "No, I wasn't running the same route as Senior Sister Shen, so how could I have run into her?"

Yan Bipo frowned even more deeply, sighed inwardly, and felt a pang of heartache at the thought of Shen Wenya's misfortune.

Shen Wenya is a good girl. She has good character, great talent, and is virtuous. She is almost impeccable in every aspect and has been cultivated as a holy maiden of the Incense Sect.

He had always liked his junior sister Shen Wenya, and Shen Wenya often acted more like a young girl in front of him.

The two had a deep bond, having grown up together as childhood sweethearts for over a hundred years.

They are like siblings, family, and lovers; their feelings have long surpassed ordinary romantic love.

It would be a lie to say that Yan Bipo didn't like Shen Wenya; he liked her very much, adored her, and thought that of all the women in the world, his junior sister was the best.

However, the Holy Maiden of the Incense Offering Ceremony cannot marry unless she voluntarily relinquishes her status as a Holy Maiden.

Yan Bipo, who aspires to become the next head of the incense-burning sect, is also prohibited from getting married.

Neither of them could give up their bright future, and even if they fell in love with each other, they could only keep their feelings in their hearts and never speak of them.

"Bastard!" Yan Bipo lost his temper, his pent-up anger finding nowhere to vent. He punched Li Ergou in the face: "Why wasn't it you, you stupid pig, who died? Junior Sister was such an outstanding and wonderful person, and she just died like that for no reason! Damn it, you idiot! Damn it, damn it, damn it..."

Li Ergou was knocked to the ground, instinctively covering his head and shrinking back, letting Yan Bipo beat him, begging for mercy: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Zhao Ying leaped back to dodge, twirling the dagger in her palm before inserting it into the scabbard on her back. She coldly watched Yan Bipo lash out. As long as he didn't take his anger out on her, Zhao Ying didn't care who was being bullied or who was hitting him. As long as he didn't bully her, she could do whatever she wanted to Li Ergou. Anyway, Li Ergou, that simple-minded and honest man, wouldn't dare to fight back.

After fighting for a while, Yan Bipo's anger subsided somewhat. He was still heartbroken, but at least he regained his rationality.

Zhao Ying said, "Chief Yan, I know you usually dote on Senior Sister Shen the most, but she's already gone. Shouldn't we consider what to do next? Should we still take the Demon Spirit, or should we quickly find a way to leave this place?"

Yan Bipo's face was full of hatred: "If those two rogue cultivators hadn't deliberately tricked us, Junior Brother Lu and Junior Sister Shen wouldn't have lost their lives. Blood debts can only be repaid with blood. Jiang Yunjian and Tian Xingyi must die. If I don't kill them to avenge them, how can I, Yan Bipo, face back to the sect? Besides, the Yan Sha Demon Spirit is still in their hands."

Zhao Ying said coldly, "Two rogue cultivators are easy to kill, and taking back the Demon Spirit of the Words is just a matter of course. The problem is how we leave."

Yan Bipo summoned the image of the Kitchen God and placed it on the table, saying, "Let's try again. Perhaps I made my wish in the wrong way, and the Kitchen God thinks I am not capable of fulfilling it, which is why he is not responding."

Zhao Ying said, "Let's try asking the Kitchen God to show us a way out. It shouldn't be too difficult, provided we can get out of here."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bipo nodded slightly: "Kitchen God, Kitchen God, please guide me on a safe way to leave Spiral Town."

The silent Kitchen God slowly awoke and said, "At the summit of Flaming Mountain, you can leave Spiral Town if you obtain the Sky-Piercing Ruler within 36 hours."

Yan Bipo's face lit up with joy, and he asked, "Kitchen God, how do I fulfill my vow?"

The Kitchen God: "Within one year, sacrifice one cultivator at the Poison-Eating Realm."

Yan Bipo's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected fulfilling his vow to be so difficult. He wanted to back out, but it was too late.

Once a wish is made and fulfilled, the wish must be fulfilled without any room for maneuver. If he cannot sacrifice a Poison-Eating Realm cultivator within a year, he will have to pay a heavy price. But how can a peak Fiend-Eating Realm cultivator like him sacrifice a Poison-Eating Realm cultivator?

Would the sect sacrifice a Poison-Eating Realm cultivator to save his life?

I'm afraid not.

This is why dealing with mad gods and evil gods never ends well; even if you avoid countless pitfalls, there will always be one waiting for you.

Yan Bipo felt extremely troubled and worried about his future. After thinking about it, he realized that worrying about these things was useless.

The most urgent task is to obtain the Heavenly Escape Ruler within thirty-six hours. As long as we have the Heavenly Escape Ruler and a safe way out, we can settle accounts with those two rogue cultivators without any worries and can leave at any time.

Yan Bipo stood up and said, "Let's go to the top of Flaming Mountain."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly: "Chief Yan, remember your promise to me."

Yan Bipo said, "Rest assured, I, Yan Bipo, always keep my word and will never break my promise."

Zhao Ying wasn't helping for free. In order to persuade her, Yan Bipo agreed to help her secure a bright future. Zhao Ying was a very ambitious woman. She was unwilling to be a true disciple and stay in the sect, where she could only ever reach the position of elder. The positions of Holy Maiden and Sect Leader were not for her, and she disdained to be the Sect Leader or Holy Maiden. What she wanted was to be an official, a high-ranking official and a noblewoman, and to be the assistant commander by the city lord's side, influencing the overall situation of the city and even the world.

These are things that Zhao Ying alone could not do, but Yan Bipo could.

Because Yan Bipo is the chief disciple of the Incense Sect and the first candidate for the next sect leader, even the northern cities have to give him face. It wouldn't be too difficult for Yan Bipo to use his resources and connections to help Zhao Ying achieve his goal. After all, Yan Bipo has not been idle for more than a hundred years.

Yan Bipo was the first to step out the door.

Zhao Ying followed closely behind, and kicked Li Ergou, who was pretending to be dead, on the way: "Idiot, how long are you planning to lie there? Get to work."

Li Ergou quickly got up, patted the footprints off his body, and followed after them as if nothing had happened: "Chief Yan, Senior Sister Zhao, wait for me!"
