Leaving Tianmen Mountain, everyone soon returned to Tianhan Pass.
At the Yin Group's branch in Tianhan Pass, everyone stopped to rest. They made a simple reorganization and had a good night's sleep.
After dinner, with nothing to do, Ye Cangtian called them to his side.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian took out four books from his Qiankun Bag, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of the four.
"This is..."
Upon seeing this, the four looked at Ye Cangtian in confusion, their minds somewhat foggy.
Ye Cangtian's gaze shifted to Ye Zhengxian, and he smiled playfully, saying, "Zhengxian, we will be parting ways tomorrow. Before I leave, this is my gift to you!"
Next, they would have to deal with the Five Poisons Sect. Ye Zhengxian had to return to lead the people of the Blazing Fire Academy to destroy the Five Poisons Sect's strongholds.
Ye Cangtian also had to rush to the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect. Therefore, after passing Tianhan Pass, Ye Zhengxian would temporarily part ways with Ye Cangtian.
Huh? A gift?
Ye Zhengxian was stunned and said somewhat exasperatedly, "Brother, you know I'm a rough person. If you give me a book, do you think I can understand it?"
"Do you think I'm that bored?"
Ye Cangtian retorted. Ye Zhengxian was stunned again. He knew that Ye Cangtian wasn't that bored, so he cast a doubtful glance.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled and said, "This contains something you've been yearning for."
Yearning for?
Hearing this, Ye Zhengxian immediately thought of something. He had always wanted Ye Cangtian to teach him the method of cultivating mental power.
Thinking of this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Could this be..."
Ye Cangtian nodded and smiled, "To be precise, I have left a mental power inheritance in these four books, called the Mental Power Combat Method. It mainly focuses on cultivating mental power, along with some simple attack techniques."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhengxian quickly grabbed the books and put them away.
"There's one for us too?"
Xue Qi and Bing Yao looked at Ye Cangtian in confusion, feeling a little embarrassed.
Since meeting Ye Cangtian, although the two girls had suffered some losses and left Snow Peak, they had gained much more.
First, it was cultivation techniques and formations. Then, the other party found them a master. Finally, he passed on the legendary mental power cultivation method to them.
All of this felt like a dream.
"Of course, there's one for you. You can cultivate with peace of mind. This will also be very beneficial for breaking through to the Heavenly level."
Ye Cangtian smiled without explaining the reason.
The Flying Cloud Pavilion had already clashed with him. Moreover, the Flying Cloud Pavilion acted ruthlessly and without scruples. Ye Cangtian was truly worried that they would target his loved ones.
Therefore, as a precaution, he passed on the Mental Power Combat Method to Xue Qi and Bing Yao.
Hearing this, Xue Qi and Bing Yao nodded, thanked him, and then put away the books.
On the other side, Yao Bao'er's big eyes were shining, and she looked at Ye Cangtian with a puzzled expression, "Boss, are you drunk? I can't use this!"
Although Yao Bao'er had the title of "Ten Thousand Man Slayer," in her opinion, it was all a misunderstanding.
In fact, she had always seen herself as a non-combatant, so she was not interested in cultivation or mental power at all.
Seeing Yao Bao'er say this, Ye Cangtian snorted, "Having strong mental power can help you in alchemy, in observing the heat of the alchemy furnace..."
Hmm?
Hearing this, Yao Bao'er's eyes darted around.
If it were for combat, she would absolutely have no interest. But now that it was for alchemy, she had to learn it.
She believed that the main reason for alchemy explosions was poor temperature control and unclear judgment of the situation within the alchemy furnace.
If she cultivated mental power and improved her perception, all of this should be improved.
Thinking of this, Yao Bao'er directly put away the books and said, "Hehe, Boss, I won't thank you."
After a small interlude, the next morning, Ye Zhengxian officially parted ways with Ye Cangtian and the others.
Ye Cangtian then led the three women straight to the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect.
Traveling southeast, in order to allow the three women to improve their mental power as much as possible, Ye Cangtian personally drove the carriage to make it smoother.
After more than ten days of travel, Ye Cangtian and the four finally arrived at Jilong City, on the southeastern border of the human living area.
Southeast of Jilong City was an unexplored area, including a rainforest where the headquarters of the Five Poisons Sect was located.
Upon arriving at Jilong City, Ye Cangtian's carriage slowed down. As he headed towards the Yin Group's branch, he observed the situation here.
Perhaps because it was a border town, or perhaps Jilong City was smaller than other cities, the population here was not large, nor was it prosperous.
After a while, Ye Cangtian arrived at the Yin Group's branch here.
As soon as he arrived, Ye Cangtian's expression darkened. The branch was in a worse state than he had imagined.
As the facade of the Yin Group here, they should at least maintain a good image, right?
But this Yin Group branch was no different from other inns, at most it was larger, but it looked dilapidated.
Not only were the houses dilapidated, but the armor of the guards standing at the entrance also looked tattered.
Fortunately, they all stood upright and appeared energetic. Otherwise, he might have lost his temper.
"Halt! Who are you?"
"This is the Yin Group branch. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
Because Ye Cangtian had disguised himself, the two guards did not recognize his identity, so they stopped him.
There was no other way. Ye Cangtian wanted to eliminate the Five Poisons Sect with the identity of the Death God. This way, even if there were some remnants of the Five Poisons Sect, they would trouble the Royal Dragon Villa, not the Yin Group.
And the Royal Dragon Villa, with the help of Yao Bao'er, was already far from what it used to be, and it had no problem dealing with the remnants of the Five Poisons Sect.
In this regard, the Yin Group was clearly slightly inferior, as the Yin Group had very few core members.
Once a war broke out with the Five Poisons Sect, even if it were just remnants, it was very likely to cause heavy casualties to the Yin Group.
Considering this, Ye Cangtian had disguised himself as the Death God.
"I am the Death God from the Royal Dragon Villa. I wish to see the person in charge here!" Ye Cangtian said to the guards.
Upon hearing this, the guards immediately saluted without a word.
The branch had received a message earlier saying that the Death God would be arriving soon and that everyone at the branch should obey the Death God's dispatch.
Now that the person was in front of them, the two naturally had to treat him with courtesy and get a glimpse of his heroic demeanor.
"Lord Death God, please come in!"
One of the guards stepped forward to lead the way, while the other quickly went inside to report.
Ye Cangtian nodded with a smile and walked into the branch with Yao Bao'er and the other three.
After a short while, as Ye Cangtian and the others arrived at the entrance of the hall, several figures hurried towards them.
The leader was the person in charge here, Du Chuan.
"Du Chuan, the head of the Yin Group branch, greets Lord Death God. Please come in!"
Du Chuan quickly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and then made an inviting gesture.
Ye Cangtian nodded at the words and entered with the three women at the invitation of the other party.
After a few pleasantries, Ye Cangtian changed the subject.
"Du Chuan, what happened here?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Du Chuan was slightly taken aback, and then he understood what Ye Cangtian meant.
He gave a slightly awkward smile and said, "People from the Five Poisons Sect often come here to harass us, so the population is small, and the houses are relatively dilapidated..."
Du Chuan stated that headquarters treated this branch well, but every time the houses were repaired, the people from the Five Poisons Sect would attack again shortly after.
Once a conflict occurred, the houses would inevitably be damaged, so over time, Du Chuan became too lazy to repair them.
For him and the guards here, as long as they were usable, it was enough.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian nodded understandingly and said, "You have been through a lot. However, the Five Poisons Sect is powerful and skilled in using poison. How do you resist them?"
"We often engage with the Five Poisons Sect, so we are quite familiar with their poisons and their methods of poisoning. Some of us have even learned some antidotes..."
Du Chuan explained.
However, these alone were clearly not enough to resist the Five Poisons Sect. The branch had also used some delaying tactics.
The Five Poisons Sect also knew that they did not have a popular base and could not occupy cities for a long time.
Therefore, after conflicts occurred, the Five Poisons Sect would usually retreat voluntarily...
