The two quickly walked forward, adept at luring monsters. What puzzled Qin Yu was that baiting the monsters seemed effortless.
"Uncle, don’t you find it strange? All other paths are swarming with wicked creatures, so why is there no Evil Spirit at this intersection?"
Zhou Cong sighed, "No matter the reason, we have only one path to take! If someone is indeed manipulating the Evil Spirits from behind the scenes, that person is terrifying!"
"Do you think it could be Young Master?" Qin Yu asked Zhou Cong with an inquiring look.
"Young Master? Impossible! He’s extremely cautious and would never put himself in danger! Once entangled by those Evil Spirits outside, he too would be in danger!"
Zhou Cong kept shaking his head, although he didn’t think highly of Yang Hui, he didn’t want to believe Yang Hui was that malevolent. After all, Yang Hui was the Sect Leader Yang Feiyu’s son! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Danger?
Qin Yu deeply furrowed his brow, then suddenly smacked his head hard.
"Uncle, I’ve got it! I understand now!"
"Hmm? What do you understand?"
"Do you remember what happened with Zhu Chenguang just now? Do you remember what Young Master said earlier?" Qin Yu’s eyes were gleaming.
Zhu Chenguang? Zhou Cong narrowed his eyes, recalling the earlier scene. The six Red Evil Spirits had suddenly stopped their attack as if they couldn’t see Zhu Chenguang at all!
And, Yang Hui had mentioned that he had a Spirit Avoidance Pill!
"Spirit Avoidance Pill! Are you suggesting that Young Master is not afraid of the Evil Spirit Tide at all?"
Qin Yu nodded vigorously, "That’s right! So, even if we get tangled up with the Evil Spirits outside, Young Master won’t die! He has the Spirit Avoidance Pill!"
"That’s still impossible! If all of us died and only Young Master survived, the Sect Leader would definitely punish him!" Zhou Cong kept shaking his head.
"Which means, Yang Hui doesn’t want to kill us all! He only wants to drive us into this intersection! As for what he’s got planned for this path, that I do not know!"
A glint of wisdom flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes.
Zhou Cong frowned deeply, "Don’t spread such talk carelessly, after all, Yang Hui is the Young Master! Let’s continue luring monsters for now and probe these issues along the way."
"Right," Qin Yu nodded and began to bait the monsters again.
With Qin Yu and Zhou Cong baiting the monsters, the journey was full of close calls but no actual dangers, and an hour later, the group reached a three-way fork. freёwebnovel.com
"Young Master, which path leads to the exit?" Wei Dong asked Yang Xiong with a questioning gaze.
Yang Hui scanned the three paths and pointed to two, "Both of these paths can take us back to the exit, but there are fewer evil creatures on the left path. I recommend that we take the left one."
After speaking, Yang Hui crossed his arms, awaiting Wei Dong’s decision.
After the return from monster baiting, Zhou Cong had been keeping an eye on Yang Hui but was unable to discern anything after a long observation. He gently shook his head, thinking he might be overthinking things.
Just as Zhou Cong was letting his guard down, he sniffed a distinctive scent.
Zhou Cong’s face went pale; pretending to be casual, he moved towards Yang Hui and, standing by his side, Zhou Cong confirmed his suspicion.
It was Corpse Fragrance Powder!
So the Evil Spirit Tide outside really was orchestrated by Young Master!
Zhou Cong was deeply disappointed in Yang Hui.
Hearing Yang Hui’s suggestion to take the left path, Zhou Cong went to the two paths and, after crouching and listening for a while, spoke in a grave voice, "Brother Wei, Young Master, there’s an Evil Spirit Tide on the left path. We should take the middle one!"
