"Alright, since you have decided, I will wait for you on a mountain to the east in seven days. Your sister-in-law knows which one it is," Zhan Diting said seriously.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "We will go there on our own."
Zhan Diting nodded, ready to leave, but then added, "By the way, there are two high-level evil demons here. One uses mental attacks, and the other is good with wind power." He told them kindly.
"I know, I know," Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "Go now. I know how to handle them."
Zhan Diting smiled lightly. Zhu Yanyi’s cultivation was at the peak of the Void Transformation stage. Dealing with these evil demons was no problem for her. However, Zhan Diting felt she needed to tell Yan Aohan about Zhu Yanyi going inside the evil demon ranks.
So, as soon as Zhan Diting returned to his place, he sent a message to Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan had already planned to visit Zhu Yanyi. Just before leaving, he received Zhan Diting’s message. He frowned slightly but said nothing, going directly to Zhan Diting’s location.
Zhan Diting was startled when Yan Aohan suddenly appeared. "Boss, you appeared so fast."
"What is going on with your sister-in-law going inside the evil demon ranks?" Yan Aohan looked at Zhan Diting, expecting an answer.
Zhan Diting coughed and then explained, "A few days ago, I infiltrated the evil demon ranks. I found that their rapid growth is due to a piece of chaos the size of a fingernail. They use the dark power of chaos to enter the souls of the dead, turning them into evil demons.
I originally wanted to destroy that piece of chaos, but I could not get close. I realized it seems to have intelligence. Unless it chooses someone, it ignores others. It creates evil demons along with them, mainly for fun."
"Fun? Creating evil demons is fun? If so, just destroy it," Yan Aohan said directly. To others, that piece of chaos might be a treasure, but to Yan Aohan, it was insignificant.
Zhan Diting said seriously, "I wanted to destroy it too, but at that moment, Empress Wu Xunmei appeared.
She told me that this piece of chaos belongs to a soul fragment. It needs a person with a suitable chaotic constitution to cultivate a small god of a small world.
She also gave me a crystal. If someone is suitable for the chaos piece, the crystal will merge into them automatically. That person is currently a woman named Hong Mei in your sister-in-law’s team."
Hearing this, Yan Aohan understood most of it. "So, this Hong Mei merged with your crystal and became the suitable person for the chaos piece?"
"Yes," Zhan Diting continued. "And if the chaos piece can be merged, it can also release the souls of those dead people. Then, with your and your wife’s efforts, they can reincarnate smoothly. It counts as karmic merit."
"This karmic merit is unnecessary for me," Yan Aohan glanced at Zhan Diting. "But what does this have to do with your sister-in-law? She does not seem like someone who seeks trouble."
Zhan Diting then recounted what had happened.
Yan Aohan understood. "So, your sister-in-law agreed because she sympathizes with Hong Mei."
"Yes," Zhan Diting nodded. "But she did not mention that she possesses the Book of Humanity, nor did she mention that you possess the Book of Earth."
Yan Aohan pondered slightly. "Can that passage really only stay open for seven days?"
Zhan Diting sighed. "I am afraid that if it stays open too long, the evil demon aura will leak out, which would be bad. Seven days is the limit. Of course, with your boss’s pressure, it could last two more days."
Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "Alright, I have a clear idea now."
"Boss, do you want to see your sister-in-law now?" Zhan Diting suggested conscientiously.
Yan Aohan glanced at Zhan Diting. "Not for now. I will observe from the shadows. Your sister-in-law needs this experience. Although going inside the evil demon ranks looks dangerous, her ability is there. As long as no King-level evil demon appears, she will be fine."
"Then, Boss, will you go in with them?" Zhan Diting asked.
Yan Aohan smiled slightly. "I will consider it."
Actually, Yan Aohan did want to go in with Zhu Yanyi and the others. However, he worried that if he went, Zhu Yanyi might rely on him. He did not mind, but he was concerned about her independence.
"Actually, it is good for you to go in, Boss. If I cannot support the passage, you can directly lead them to open another way out," Zhan Diting said optimistically.
Yan Aohan pondered for a moment. "I can go, but I worry that if I go, your sister-in-law will become lazy."
"Boss, your sister-in-law cultivates the Heart Path. Even if she is lazy, it does not matter, as long as she gains insights in her heart at any time," Zhan Diting said casually.
Yan Aohan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows. "You are right. I overthought it. Your sister-in-law cultivates the Heart Path. Even if she is a bit lazy, it is fine. In that case, I will go in with them."
After all, he was still worried about Zhu Yanyi, so Yan Aohan decided to go in with her and the others.
For the next two days, Zhu Yanyi followed the main force, continuing to fight evil demons. After all, more Baiye leaves were better. She also wanted to see what ratio of Baiye leaves these mid-level evil demons would drop.
The drop rate for mid-level Baiye leaves was quite good. Most importantly, after refining, Zhu Yanyi found that mid-level Baiye leaves yielded two drops of elements. She could now confirm that low-level evil demons produced the least, yielding only one drop. Mid-level yielded two, high-level three. By analogy, top-level should yield four, and King-level five.
She did not know how many King-level demons there were. According to Zhan Diting, there were probably fewer than five King-level evil demons currently. So, getting Baiye leaves with five drops of elements was likely impossible.
Thus, three days passed with them taking turns fighting evil demons. The seventh brigade arrived, and the sixth brigade began to withdraw.
After Zhu Yanyi and the others returned to the camp, they naturally prepared to depart. First, Jian Feiyan and Hong Mei needed to coordinate. Jian Feiyan had to impersonate Hong Mei. Not only did she need to transform into Hong Mei’s appearance, but she also needed to know her tone and hobbies. So, for the next few days, Hong Mei and Jian Feiyan communicated extensively.
