"Yeah, Brother Yu, aren't we about to make our move?"

The assembled evil spirits chimed in.

After the chorus of agreement subsided,

Brother Yu, his expression solemn, stated, "Your current strength is insufficient. Some core secrets are beyond your knowledge."

The words "core secrets" landed heavily, causing the expressions of the evil spirits to become serious, tinged with curiosity as they waited for Brother Yu to elaborate.

Brother Yu wore a faint smile, though it didn't inspire much confidence.

Yuan Mu Ye was also curious.

After all, his reason for being here was to find out exactly this.

After a moment, the evil spirits, seeing that Brother Yu remained silent,

couldn't help but urge, "Brother Yu, hurry up and tell us!"

Brother Yu chuckled, "You want to know core secrets? If they were to leak out, Lord Ghost General would take your lives."

Yuan Mu Ye, watching this guy flaunt his importance, felt a surge of annoyance. He was the kind of person who hinted at revealing something, only to hold back to show off.

He was a real piece of work.

As expected, upon hearing Brother Yu's words, none dared to press further.

They could only lower their heads and remain silent.

Seeing that no one dared to inquire further, Brother Yu appeared satisfied, and in a superior tone said, "Rest assured, with me here, nothing unexpected will occur. Moreover, I can tell you that following me on this operation won't interfere with the normal attack schedule."

Brother Yu spoke with absolute conviction.

Yuan Mu Ye pondered that if they weren't attacking, they must be awaiting an opportunity or some more powerful reinforcements.

Since he said there would be no immediate attack, Yuan Mu Ye's heart relaxed slightly.

Seeing that no one responded, Brother Yu smiled and said, "Don't be so tense, relax, understand? If you come with me on this mission, I guarantee you won't be shortchanged."

"Brother Yu, we absolutely trust you," Zhang Dali was the first to speak.

With Zhang Dali taking the lead, Yuan Mu Ye naturally followed suit, promptly declaring, "I absolutely trust Brother Yu too."

With Yuan Mu Ye and Zhang Dali leading the way, a satisfied smile appeared on Brother Yu's face.

The other evil spirits, seeing this, didn't hesitate and echoed, "Brother Yu, we trust you too."

Hearing everyone's declarations, Brother Yu's smile gradually widened./

"Good, rest assured, brothers, I certainly won't mistreat you."

Brother Yu said casually.

After a moment, Brother Yu continued, "Alright, brothers, go back and prepare yourselves. We'll gather here in an hour and then set off."

The crowd of evil spirits responded in unison.

Zhang Dali and Yuan Mu Ye walked together.

After walking some distance, Zhang Dali said to Yuan Mu Ye, "Little Mu, you need to be more respectful to Brother Yu in the future. He holds grudges, and if he gets angry, he might come after you."

"Okay, I understand, Brother Dali. Thank you for speaking up for me earlier."

Yuan Mu Ye said earnestly.

Zhang Dali waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's what brothers should do, supporting each other to achieve greater things in the future. This mission is quite dangerous, so hurry up and prepare. I need to get ready too."

"Okay, Brother Dali."

After they finished speaking, they parted ways.

Yuan Mu Ye naturally flashed away, finding a secluded spot without people or evil spirits, and quickly switched his ghost form.

After the successful switch, Yuan Mu Ye found Jiang Lan, who was still waiting. Jiang Lan was startled by Yuan Mu Ye's sudden appearance.

"Why are you so elusive?"

Jiang Lan couldn't help but complain.

She stared at Yuan Mu Ye, noticing that his expression was rather serious.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" she quickly asked.

"Yes, something did happen,"

Yuan Mu Ye said lightly.

Jiang Lan immediately became more nervous and said, "What exactly happened? Speak up."

"It's nothing, you go back first, and tell Jiang City to prepare themselves. The evil spirits probably won't attack for the next three to five days. I still need to investigate their specific schemes."

Yuan Mu Ye said after pondering for a moment.

Jiang Lan chewed on his words and understood Yuan Mu Ye's meaning, saying, "You mean you want me to go back alone?"

"That's right. Be careful on your own, but I can escort you for a while. I only have an hour."

Yuan Mu Ye brought Jiang Lan out, so he should at least escort her to avoid any accidents.

"Okay."

Jiang Lan didn't argue further. At this moment, her expression towards Yuan Mu Ye had already changed.

Because she sensed a faint Yin energy emanating from Yuan Mu Ye, a Yin energy that made her feel uneasy.

She suddenly understood what her brother had said.

Could it be that Yuan Mu Ye was truly an evil spirit?

But she didn't dare to confront Yuan Mu Ye now, because she was no match for him. If she turned against him now, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

After thinking it over, she decided to endure it.

"Okay, then I'll go back now. You don't need to see me off. I know how to get back. I can conceal my aura, so nothing unexpected will happen," Jiang Lan said calmly.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu Ye didn't say much more.

With Jiang Lan's strength, she could escape as long as the opponent didn't fight to the death.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

As soon as Yuan Mu Ye finished speaking, Jiang Lan flashed and disappeared, the speed surprising Yuan Mu Ye for a few seconds.

He wondered how this girl was so fast.

Regardless, Yuan Mu Ye rested in place, waiting until Jiang Lan's figure completely disappeared.

Yuan Mu Ye switched back to his ghost form and returned to the previous spot, soon seeing Zhang Dali. Zhang Dali, seeing Yuan Mu Ye, smiled and said, "Little Mu, are you ready?"

"Ready, ready."

"What weapon did you prepare? Let me see it."

This question made Yuan Mu Ye feel a little awkward. Where would Yuan Mu Ye get a weapon? Even if he had one, it would be for killing evil spirits.

Zhang Dali's words caused Yuan Mu Ye to hesitate awkwardly.

Just when Yuan Mu Ye didn't know what to do, Zhang Dali suddenly said, "Little Mu, don't be embarrassed. Seeing how low your level is, I know you don't have any weapons. I'll give you one."

Hearing this, Yuan Mu Ye was slightly taken aback and said, "What weapon?"

"Look, this is a Ghost Tooth Club. Take it. It's not a powerful ghost artifact, but it can at least protect you somewhat."

Zhang Dali said with a sincere expression.
