Chapter 1327: Ghost King Cave

"Big brother, we're all giving you face here. How about we call off this bet? Waiting around here is so boring. That kid definitely won't come out," said Old Seven.

"Exactly. What's gotten into big brother today? Usually, you're not like this!" Old Three also urged.

Facing his brothers' persuasion, Chang Liang smiled noncommittally and said, "It's only been half a day, and you can't wait anymore?"

"Hey, big brother, we're trying to save you face!" said Old Seven.

Chang Liang laughed. "Don't save me face at all! We're brothers, but we settle accounts openly. Since we made the bet, let's see it through."

Just then, a voice sounded in everyone's ears like a ghost.

"What bet are you making?"

Everyone turned to look, and their eyes immediately went wide.

The speaker was none other than Ye Yuan!

"You, you, you... how did you get out? No, how did you come out?" Old Seven's tongue instantly got twisted.

The six brothers all looked as if they had seen a ghost, sizing up Ye Yuan from head to toe.

Then they found that Ye Yuan was in the best possible condition, as if there were no evil spirits in the Purple Nether Cave at all.

Not only the six brothers, but even Chang Liang was dumbfounded.

He felt that Ye Yuan was unusual, but he never expected Ye Yuan to come out in just half a day.

He had said three days, which was already overestimating Ye Yuan.

Unexpectedly, three days was too long for Ye Yuan!

Hearing Old Seven's words, Ye Yuan couldn't help but laugh. "What do you mean? Of course, I walked out. Or did the evil spirits carry me out?"

"But... but... there are quite a few one-star late-stage evil spirits in the Purple Nether Cave!" Old Seven said in astonishment.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Mm, there are indeed some one-star late-stage evil spirits in there, but the number is still too small. I wandered around for half a day and only encountered seven or eight. That's still far from five hundred! Is there any place with more? Take me to have a look."

Chang Liang was startled and quickly said, "There is! Of course, there is! I'll take you!"

Ye Yuan nodded and followed behind Chang Liang.

The group headed deeper into the Yin Wind Cave.

The deeper they went, the more evil spirits they encountered, and the more powerful they were.

But Ye Yuan's performance made their jaws drop.

Evil spirits that the seven of them could barely handle with great effort, Ye Yuan caught like catching chicks, with just one hand.

Then with a gentle squeeze, they shattered!

The "Seven Heroes of Yin Wind" had roamed the Yin Wind Cave for many years, but they had never seen anyone kill evil spirits like this.

It was only then that the other six believed how terrifying Ye Yuan's strength was.

Finally, the seven sent Ye Yuan into the second cave, and only then did they find a chance to speak.

Old Seven sidled up to Chang Liang, wiped cold sweat, and said, "Thank goodness big brother was shrewd, otherwise... we might have been pinched to death by him like those evil spirits!"

Chang Liang also felt a lingering fear. If they had actually fought earlier, the "Seven Heroes of Yin Wind" would probably have been completely wiped out today.

Of course, Ye Yuan couldn't pinch them to death like he did the evil spirits.

His ability to easily deal with evil spirits was all thanks to Wuchen.

But the way Ye Yuan killed evil spirits made their hair stand on end.

The visual impact gave them the feeling that Ye Yuan was very powerful.

Extremely powerful!

Chang Liang also grimaced and said, "To be honest, I didn't expect his strength to be this strong either!"

"Could this guy be hiding his strength? How could a mere early Cave Profound cultivator be this strong?" said Second Brother.

Chang Liang shook his head. "That I don't know! Anyway, as long as we earn these five thousand low-grade divine origin stones, that's enough. As for the rest... better not meddle! Oh, by the way, about the bet, I won't stand on ceremony!"

Speaking later, Chang Liang's face beamed with a brilliant smile.

This time, he hit the jackpot!

Four thousand low-grade divine origin stones was no small sum for them.

After deducting daily expenses, it would take Chang Liang at least three to five years to earn that amount!

Seeing the smug expression on Chang Liang's face, the other six felt as if they had swallowed flies.

The bird in hand had flown away!

Five thousand low-grade divine origin stones—originally each of them could have gotten over seven hundred.

But now, only six of them would split the remaining one thousand.

What a huge loss!

"Hey, don't all make that face. A bet is a bet! Don't say I'm not generous. I'll take a step back and only take three thousand. You six can split the remaining two thousand!" said Chang Liang.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed and thanked Chang Liang profusely.

Chang Liang's mind was much more agile than that of his other six brothers.

Giving up an extra thousand divine origin stones would make the six brothers more loyal. That was a great deal.

...

Another half a day passed, and Ye Yuan came out of this cave.

But this time, he had only devoured about a dozen evil spirits.

Ye Yuan was very dissatisfied with this number. After coming out, he said to Chang Liang, "Too few! Is there any cave with more? Preferably one with dozens or even a hundred at once!"

Chang Liang was secretly shocked. He really couldn't figure out how an early Cave Profound rookie could deal with those one-star late-stage evil spirits.

But he still said, "There is one, but that place is too dangerous. We brothers... dare not go there."

Ye Yuan said calmly, "No matter. Just take me there. I'll clear out the evil spirits around the cave, so you'll be safe. As for the commission, I'll add another two thousand!"

Money makes the world go round. Wasn't it all for divine origin stones that Chang Liang and his men risked their lives in the Yin Wind Cave?

With such a generous offer from Ye Yuan, how could they not be tempted?

Moreover, Ye Yuan had said he would clear out the surrounding evil spirits, so they would have no worries.

Chang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Deal! About a thousand miles ahead, there is a Ghost King Cave. The evil spirits there are not only numerous but also very powerful! After you enter, sir, don't go too deep, because there are also one-star great perfection evil spirits inside! Legend has it that deep in the Ghost King Cave, there are two-star evil spirits, but no one has ever seen them!"

Ye Yuan was also secretly alarmed. If that were true, he would indeed need to be careful.

One-star great perfection evil spirits he could barely handle, but two-star evil spirits were beyond even Wuchen's ability to deal with now.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Mm, thanks for the warning. I'll be careful!"

Seeing Ye Yuan respond seriously, Chang Liang judged that one-star great perfection was probably Ye Yuan's limit.

But even this result was enough to astonish him.

They led Ye Yuan into the Ghost King Cave and waited outside.

But unexpectedly, at that moment, a dozen figures suddenly rushed in from all directions, directly surrounding the seven of them!

"Heh, we've been looking for you for so long! I never thought you'd be in cahoots with that kid Ye Yuan! We'll have to settle the score for the destruction of the Spectrometer!" Wang Yutao's murderous words reached the ears of the Seven Heroes of Yin Wind.
