The good news is that Yun Yici managed to drag Xie Qianjue out.

The bad news is, this Yin-Yang path is disgusting.

The so-called Yin-Yang Dao does not refer to a single Dao, but rather to the collective term for the countless dividing lines between the Ghost Realm and the other three realms.

Xiao Ji then led her through the Yin-Yang Path, where there were no living people but wandering ghosts.

The Yin-Yang Path before her was filled with corpses that had been dead for a long time and were emitting a foul stench.

Yun Yici steadied herself and first checked Xie Qianjue's pulse.

After confirming that everyone was alright, she said loudly, "Senior Priest, your Yin-Yang Dao cannot trap us."

"Instead of fighting to the death, why not just let us leave?"

A faint, teeth-grinding sound came from somewhere.

Yun Yici was certain that what she heard was the faint sound of snake scales moving and rubbing together.

The imperial edict was set ablaze, and the moment the flames ignited, the corpses on the Yin-Yang Path mysteriously melted and vanished like ink.

Yun Yici finally realized: "This is her domain. She built her domain on the Yin-Yang Dao."

Therefore, this human-snake priest abandoned his physical body and feigned death, but in fact he had been hiding in the Yin-Yang Path all along through his domain.

However, at the same time, her domain also trapped her, preventing her from going to the ghost realm.

A dry voice quietly sounded: "He wanted to take my natal magic weapon, he deserves to die."

"The people of the Yinshan Witch Clan deserve to die!"

As resentment and malice poured forth, and the domain transformed into a sharp blade to pierce through, Yun Yici also opened his own domain and fiercely rammed back.

"What did you do to my senior brother?"

Using the wind within her domain, Yun Yici quickly located the creature by sound, and with a lightning-fast sword strike, she tightened her domain, trapping the strange creature within it.

Yun Yici was quite startled when she first saw the half-human, half-snake monster.

Unlike the beautiful serpent in one's imagination, this serpent had a very thick tail, black scales, and its upper body was casually wrapped in cloth, bearing no resemblance to a woman's beauty whatsoever.

The imperial edict subtly blocked Yun Yici's view: "He is a man, kill him."

The human-snake stammered, "If you kill me, he won't survive either."

The stalker, who had always relied on ambushes from their special area to win, had finally met their match.

Yun Yici said, "Just now I heard the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan say that the bloodline of the human-snake is only passed down to women. How did you become a priest?"

The captured human-snake trembled and said in his degenerated voice, "I was born this way, but my parents, greedy for power, sent me into the tribe disguised as a woman."

"Later, when the truth came out, I was imprisoned here by my clan."

The emperor decreed, "You possess two distinct auras, neither male nor female. What is the meaning of this? Speak!"

The flames in the Emperor's hand burned the serpent's cold tail, causing it to curl up.

He cried out in anguish, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"

“My mother was carrying twins, but I absorbed her tail.”

“My parents hated me because I had no sisters, and they treated me like a monster, imprisoning me in their home and abusing me every day.”

"Later I found a way to expose this matter, because according to the ancestral legends believed in the tribe, I was disguised as a woman and chosen as a priestess."

"Later, when the truth came out, I had no choice but to flee to the Yin-Yang Path."

Yun Yici supported Xie Qianjue with one hand, but Xie Qianjue still showed no signs of waking up.

She asked, "What did you do to my senior brother?"

"Untie."

Yun Yici was truly enraged. If a living person stays in the Yin-Yang realm for too long, their soul will gradually leave their body, and their physical body will slowly decay.

Many of the corpses were dressed like members of the Wu tribe. This human-snake lurked in the Yin-Yang Path and harmed countless people.

The snake-man gave a sinister smile: "Give me your senior brother, and I'll untie him."

Yun Yici's eyes grew cold: "You, a wandering ghost who can't even be considered a ghost cultivator, dare to negotiate with me?"

Her domain gradually tightened, completely crushing the soul body cultivated by the human-snake, and then grabbing the core that was drifting out of the soul body.

"Wait until you've thought it through before you speak."

As the human-snake soul was destroyed, the domain he controlled gradually collapsed, revealing the true form of the Yin-Yang Dao.

The emperor looked around and his first thought was to reach out and take Xie Qianjue away.

"Xiao Ci, so this is the Yin-Yang Path. Can we reach the Ghost Realm by following this path?"

After the imperial edict was delivered, he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

They fell from the sky, so perhaps the way back is in the sky?

Yun Yici sighed, "We can't go back the way we came. To get from the Ghost Realm to the Human Realm, we need a Netherworld Beast."

"besides......"

The only option is to find a place to draw a teleportation array and go directly to meet up with Shen Huaichuan and the others.

"Besides that, I can send you back."

The clear, bright child's voice immediately attracted the attention of Yun Yici and the Emperor's decree.

A pretty little boy, around ten years old and dressed elegantly, was holding a small green-eyed cat in his arms, standing far away from them.

"Xiao Ji?! What are you doing here?"

Yun Yici was somewhat shocked.

Ever since Xiao Ji's true identity as Lord Ji was exposed, they have been wary of Xiao Ji approaching them, believing it to be either the order of the Netherworld Palace or Lord Yi.

Xiao Ji also kept to himself and rarely appeared in front of them again.

now......

"You're following us?"

Yun Yici immediately thought of it.

The Netherworld Palace was already worried about Yue Niang leaving the Ghost Realm. Ghost cultivators could hide in the Yin-Yang Path, making them excellent candidates for tracking and surveillance.

Xiao Ji helplessly raised his hand, and the black cat in his arms immediately jumped down.

The emperor stared intently at the black cat on the ground: "Was it this cat that delivered the letter for you?"

The black cat's fur stood on end from being stared at, making it look like a black ball of fur.

Xiao Ji said, "Stop, I have no ill intentions towards you."

“I am even grateful to you for saving Xiao Xun.”

"I'm only doing this to help a friend out of the past with a small favor."

Yun Yici asked, "Then do you know what's going on with my senior brother?"

Xie Qianjue's breathing was steady, but he showed no signs of waking up.

Xiao Ji said, "Lift up the sleeve of his left hand."

Yun Yici put him down, letting Xie Qianjue lean against her, then took his hand and lifted his sleeve.

On the young man's fair arm, there was a strange black pattern that extended upwards to his elbow.

Xiao Ji looked utterly helpless: "It looks like they've been cursed by that human-snake."

"I'll take you back first. Perhaps the snake-human's tribe can help."

Xiao Ji, carrying the black cat, escorted Yun Yici and the other two back to the forbidden area of ​​the Witch Clan before disappearing again.

Yun Yici and the imperial edict quickly led Xie Qianjue out of the forbidden area.

Wu Meng was still outside the forbidden area, looking confused and questioning her life. When she saw the three of them come out, she looked like she had seen a ghost.

"You guys came out so soon?"

Wu Meng was full of questions, and when she saw Xie Qianjue unconscious, she hurriedly followed behind Yun Yici.

"Thank you... Fellow Daoist, is he alright?"

Yun Yici said succinctly: "My senior brother is cursed, and we need the help of the Wu Sui priest."
