Chapter 1331: The Hundred Ghostly Talismans!

A... a two-star evil spirit?

Chang Liang and the others' faces changed drastically, their eyes filled with horror as they looked at the man.

Although legend had it that two-star evil spirits existed in the Yin Wind Cave, no one had ever seen one.

They never dreamed that the man before them, who looked no different from a human, was actually a two-star evil spirit!

Among ordinary two-star evil spirits, not one in ten thousand could awaken intelligence.

All they had was an instinct to devour.

Against such two-star evil spirits, Wuchen was truly helpless, for they only knew instinctive slaughter.

But even Wuchen hadn't expected that the two-star evil spirit in the Ghost King Cave had actually developed intelligence.

The man did not deny it, but said, "You... have an aura on you that makes me extremely wary!"

In truth, Ye Yuan was also quite surprised. He had thought evil spirits were all those ghastly, monstrous forms, fierce and vicious.

He never imagined a two-star evil spirit would look like this.

Moreover, the other party's perception seemed extremely sharp.

Chang Liang's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at Ye Yuan in utter shock.

He could hardly believe that a two-star evil spirit would say such a thing!

It could be said that if a two-star evil spirit wanted to kill them, it would only need to lift a finger.

Yet faced with Ye Yuan, who was only at the early Cave Abyss stage, it was so wary!

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Mid two-star, not bad strength! I didn't expect your intelligence to have developed to this extent; it saves me some trouble."

Chang Liang listened with his heart pounding, wanting nothing more than to turn and run.

This Ye Yuan was too arrogant!

That was a two-star evil spirit, and Ye Yuan dared to speak like that.

Wait, mid two-star?

Chang Liang felt utterly bewildered. What was going on!

In the Cave Abyss realm, a minor realm was a world apart, and the same was even more true for the Heaven Gazing realm!

The gap between early and mid stage was even greater!

And how did Ye Yuan know the other party was a two-star evil spirit?

There was too much information; the five brothers felt they couldn't digest it all.

But the man said, "How do you know... I won't attack you? You... are too weak!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If your intelligence hadn't awakened, that would be one thing, and we would naturally have a fierce battle. But since your intelligence has awakened, you won't make a move against me."

Ye Yuan spoke with great certainty, not taking the man's threat seriously at all.

He dared to say this, naturally because he had the great deity Wuchen backing him.

The power of a Celestial Lord's spiritual treasure was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Although Wuchen was now a fallen phoenix, if the other party wanted to kill Ye Yuan, it probably wouldn't be that easy.

The man laughed and said, "Sir, you are too confident! Killing you would be as easy as lifting a finger for me!"

With that, a terrifying yin energy suddenly burst forth, firmly locking onto Ye Yuan.

But while Ye Yuan felt nothing, Chang Liang and the other five were almost frozen stiff.

They lamented to find that they couldn't even move a finger.

Before the two-star evil spirit had even struck, they were already down!

A faint, almost imperceptible aura enveloped Ye Yuan.

The yin wind, upon reaching Ye Yuan, automatically parted and flowed past him on both sides.

The man's pupils contracted, confirming that Ye Yuan was indeed no ordinary person!

Ye Yuan said with a faint smile, "Stop these pointless probes; they're useless. I'll give you a chance: sign a Heavenly Dao contract, acknowledge me as your master, and I'll grant you a great fortune!"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan walked over to Chang Liang and the others, stretched out a finger, and lightly tapped each of their foreheads.

A faint ripple of soul power flowed from his fingertip, instantly spreading through their entire bodies.

The five of them shuddered, and the bone-deep stiffness vanished without a trace.

But what shocked them wasn't that—it was what Ye Yuan had said!

The words were so earth-shattering that although the five could move, they still stood with mouths agape, staring stupidly at Ye Yuan.

What did he just say?

Make an intelligent two-star evil spirit acknowledge him as master? Had the great one... taken the wrong medicine?

The man was also taken aback, then laughed derisively, "What a joke! A mere youth at the early Cave Abyss stage dares to spout such nonsense! Sir, are you testing my limits?"

In the martial world, hierarchy was strict. Ye Yuan's realm was too low, so saying such things was a grave disrespect.

Even if they had no enmity, just these words gave the other party ample reason to kill.

Ye Yuan just smiled, then suddenly stretched out a finger and began drawing something in the air.

Chang Liang and the others were baffled, completely at a loss as to what Ye Yuan was up to.

It looked like some kind of symbols.

He couldn't help but curiously look toward the man, only to find that the man's expression was shifting from disdain to shock, and finally to ecstasy!

Only then did they realize that these inexplicable symbols Ye Yuan was drawing were far from ordinary.

"The Hundred Ghostly Talismans! You... you're drawing the Hundred Ghostly Talismans!" The man's voice was full of shock.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heh, it seems you recognize the Hundred Ghostly Talismans; that saves me a lot of talk."

The man shuddered and said in disbelief, "You... a human, how could you possibly know the Hundred Ghostly Talismans?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "How I know them is none of your concern. Just tell me whether you're willing to follow me. Don't get any clever ideas; you only have one chance."

The man's gaze hardened, and a look of struggle appeared on his face.

Ye Yuan's warning made him extremely conflicted.

For evil spirits, they could parasitize within a martial artist's body, akin to possession, yet different from it.

Because they were independent entities and didn't need a physical body to survive.

The 'clever ideas' Ye Yuan referred to were precisely this.

The thought had indeed flashed through his mind at first.

But Ye Yuan's words shattered his illusions.

If it had been anyone else, he would have unhesitatingly possessed them and forcibly plundered their memories.

But Ye Yuan was different.

From the very beginning, Ye Yuan had given him a very dangerous feeling.

The faint aura emanating from the Soul Suppressing Pearl made him deeply wary.

Beside them, Chang Liang and the other five hardly dared to breathe, quietly waiting for the man's decision.

They never dreamed that a few words from Ye Yuan would actually lead to subduing a two-star evil spirit!

At the very least, the other party was tempted!

This great one was becoming more and more mysterious. What kind of existence was he?

His alchemy skills were terrifyingly formidable, his martial arts cultivation unfathomable, and now he was about to subdue a two-star evil spirit.

Chang Liang felt that this world was simply too crazy.

What he had seen and heard today was more thrilling than all his life's experiences combined.

Time passed minute by minute, and the expression on the man's face shifted uncertainly.

Ye Yuan didn't urge him, quietly waiting for his answer.

He was absolutely certain that the other party couldn't resist the temptation of the Hundred Ghostly Talismans.

"Alright, I agree!" Finally, the man spoke.
