"Scouting for information? How do you plan to do that?" Sikong Xuran asked with curiosity.
Zhu Yanyi just smiled and stayed silent. She closed her eyes, flicked her finger slightly, and tossed a seed onto a patch of grass. Quickly, she retrieved the seed and then smiled. "The evil spirits on the periphery aren't very high in cultivation. There are even higher-level evil spirits inside.
According to their hierarchy, evil spirits are divided into five levels: low-level, mid-level, high-level, top-level, and king-level. We were originally fighting low-level evil spirits in those areas. The ones here on the periphery are mid-level. Inside, there are three high-level evil spirits, one of which can fly."
After finishing, Zhu Yanyi looked at everyone with a playful smile. "Do you want to know anything else?"
"Junior Sister, how did you know all this?" Li Zhengyong asked, looking at Zhu Yanyi with curiosity.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow slightly. "If you want to know, you will know. In this world, there is no information I don't want to know, and no information I don't know."
Sikong Xuran said from the side, "You said there are three high-level evil spirits here, one of which can fly."
"Yes. You should be grateful that no top-level or king-level evil spirits have appeared yet."
Zhu Yanyi continued to explain, "Evil spirits evolve by devouring each other. It takes five hundred low-level evil spirits devouring each other to become one mid-level evil spirit.
It takes five hundred mid-level evil spirits to become one high-level evil spirit.
Following this logic, it takes five hundred high-level evil spirits to produce one top-level evil spirit.
To become a king-level evil spirit, one must devour fifty thousand top-level evil spirits. Therefore, so far, no king-level evil spirit has appeared among them. Or perhaps, they are cultivating one."
When Zhu Yanyi learned this information, she was also slightly stunned. She hadn't realized such secrets were hidden here. "The higher up the hierarchy, the harder it is for evil spirits to survive. Currently, the number of low-level evil spirits is decreasing rapidly, so they need to develop more low-level ones.
Therefore, they must constantly invade human living spaces to turn humans into evil spirits.
The increase in the number of evil spirits indicates that many humans have already turned into evil spirits. Because of this, the aura of evil spirits is entering the human world through special rifts. One rift has entered the Jingmei Plane, and another has entered the Shangmo Plane."
"This explains why people in the Shangmo Plane and the Jingmei Plane have become like this," Yi Yunfei said, suddenly understanding.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "That’s all the information I could find for now. I haven’t heard any other news yet."
You haven’t even left, yet you know so much. What is there to scout? Sikong Xuran and the others thought silently. However, the information Zhu Yanyi provided shocked them greatly.
Zhu Yanyi still had some information she didn’t share. Telling them might hurt their hearts. But sooner or later, they would find out. She only hoped they could bear such pain in the future.
Zhu Yanyi sighed and looked at the mid-level evil spirits below. "Senior Brother Sikong, are we ready to eliminate the mid-level evil spirits?"
Sikong Xuran organized her thoughts. The information Zhu Yanyi gave was indeed shocking, but she knew what she needed to do now. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Junior Sister, how do you think we should attack now?"
"We use medicine. Don’t overthink it. When we go down, just sprinkle some medicine. It will naturally clear a landing spot. Then we can advance slowly. We shouldn’t split our forces now. The original plan of attacking from five directions is unnecessary. Instead, I think we should attract these mid-level evil spirits to come to us." A hint of wicked charm appeared on Zhu Yanyi’s lips.
"They need personnel to develop their evil spirits. Although we are only fifty-five people, which isn’t many, if we develop, we become a small force. How could they let us go? Inviting the guest into the jar is better than us going to find them."
As soon as Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, Sikong Xuran understood. "In that case, let’s follow Junior Sister’s plan. This time, let’s do a great sweep."
"Indeed. We don’t have much else, but we have plenty of medicine. I want to see how many mid-level evil spirits are here." It takes five hundred low-level evil spirits to cultivate one mid-level evil spirit. So what if there are many mid-level ones here?
Moreover, the status of mid-level evil spirits is awkward. They monitor and devour each other to advance. Therefore, dealing with such evil spirits is very easy for Zhu Yanyi.
"Let Wen Zi Yuan lead the way," Yi Yunfei said. "Our technique with medicine isn’t as good as hers. It’s better for her to clear the path."
Zhu Yanyi didn’t refuse, and the others didn’t speak either. They knew that Zhu Yanyi was better at using medicine and had higher cultivation than them. So, they didn’t think it was shameful to let her lead the way.
Zhu Yanyi looked at everyone. "Are you ready?"
"Ready." Everyone nodded. They were indeed ready.
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "Since you are ready, I will make my move. Watch closely."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Yanyi jumped out. While jumping, she actually stood in mid-air for a moment, smiling gently at the evil spirits below. "Good morning, everyone. No, goodbye forever." She waved her hand and then slowly descended.
As if welcoming her descent, the evil spirits below fell in waves, turning into blood water that seeped into the ground. Only white palm leaves remained on the ground.
Zhu Yanyi casually collected these palm leaves and then waved her hand in the air. "Alright, come down. If you don’t come down soon, there won’t be any evil spirits left for you."
Seeing this, Sikong Xuran chuckled and waved his hand. "Go down." Everyone jumped down.
After landing, Zhu Yanyi didn’t stop. She walked leisurely into the crowd of evil spirits. With every step she took, a wave of them fell. No one could see how she made her moves.
Wen Zi Yuan watched from the side. "This Junior Sister is incredible. Too powerful. With every step, she eliminates a wave of evil spirits. Honestly, I still haven’t figured out how she makes her moves."
"I haven’t figured it out either," Hong Mei said seriously.
While they were talking, everyone had already reached the ground. They looked at each other and默契ly began to sweep the evil spirits.
"Actually, my medicine has an enhanced version, but unfortunately, you can’t enjoy it," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
These evil spirits could actually speak. However, after becoming evil spirits, their pasts were covered by black cloth, presumably so no one could recognize them.
