Chapter 160 Returning

Now, Yuan Muye was at a disadvantage, likely due to his lack of combat experience.

The eight ghost generals under Ghost Commander Shou's command undoubtedly possessed a wealth of experience.

Just as Yuan Muye was contemplating his next move, a voice suddenly echoed in his ear, "Brother, I'm ready."

As soon as she spoke, a figure instantly appeared beside Yuan Muye, launching an attack against General Yan.

A surge of pure Yin energy pressed down on General Yan, causing his expression to change. His gaze quickly locked onto Yuan Xiaoyao.

A hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes as he struggled to understand why Yuan Xiaoyao, also a ghost, would attack him.

He glared at Yuan Xiaoyao, scolding, "How dare you collude with the living and attack this general!"

"Brother, let's join forces..."

Yuan Muye responded and, without hesitation, the two swiftly attacked, sandwiching General Yan between them.

Although Yuan Xiaoyao had virtually no combat experience, under their combined assault, General Yan quickly faltered and found himself at a disadvantage.

Without delay, he immediately ordered the lesser ghosts below to attack the pair.

But how could those ghosts dare to act?

After all, given the strength of the two, rushing forward would be akin to throwing stones at a ghost.

However, under General Yan's repeated reprimands, some ghosts still lunged forward. Yuan Xiaoyao swiftly devoured them, taking the opportunity to stabilize her current sixth-level ghost cultivation.

General Yan seized the chance and fled without hesitation.

Seeing General Yan run, the remaining ghosts didn't delay, scrambling to escape as well.

Yuan Xiaoyao then asked Yuan Muye, "Brother, should we pursue?"

"No need. We should leave this place quickly, lest they summon reinforcements."

Yuan Muye said calmly.

If they were to call for help, it would be a rather troublesome matter for Yuan Muye. He needed to find a safe place first.

The two swiftly left the town.

Yuan Xiaoyao's Yin energy was quite dense, but Yuan Muye was surprised by how quickly she had grown this time.

With Yuan Xiaoyao's current strength, protecting Liang Senyu shouldn't be a problem.

On the way back, Yuan Xiaoyao said to Yuan Muye, "Brother, the ghost pill you refined today was a great help to me..."

Hearing this, Yuan Muye said, "I'll give you some more when you're ready to break through to the seventh level."

"Okay, thank you, Brother."

Yuan Xiaoyao was quite pleased to hear that.

With that item, breaking through realms would become much easier.

Before long, Yuan Muye saw the location of Yanjiang County.

Yuan Xiaoyao returned to the Great Fish Sword. When he arrived in Yanjiang County, someone quickly recognized Yuan Muye and welcomed him inside.

Now, more and more experts were arriving in Yanjiang County, and the higher-ups were paying increasing attention to the defenses here.

With the arrival of several more Ning Yuan (Core Formation) realm experts, Yuan Muye and the others could take turns resting.

Soon, Yuan Muye found Wang Yajie and asked him about the situation.

Wang Yajie told Yuan Muye, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, everything has been taken care of."

"That's good."

Wang Yajie stared at Yuan Muye. Yuan Muye had been gone for about ten days this time, and he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yuan, where did you go?"

"I ran into some trouble. Let's go back to Jiang City together."

Yuan Muye said.

It had been a while since he had seen Liang Senyu, and Yuan Muye missed and worried about her.

At this moment, Yuan Muye's gaze fell on Wang Yajie, and he noticed some changes in him. Wang Yajie seemed to have advanced from the Ning Qi (Qi Condensation) realm to the Gui Yuan (Returning Origin) realm, and his strength was much greater than before.

"Yajie, not bad. Your strength has improved. I believe that this time you go back, you may even be promoted and rewarded."

Yuan Muye said calmly.

Wang Yajie smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, being able to learn by your side is the most important thing."

Speaking of which, Wang Yajie suddenly changed the subject and said, "By the way, Brother Yuan, Xiao Jian knows you're back and wants to see you."

"Okay, let him come."

Yuan Muye had a good impression of Xiao Jian. He was a kind-hearted child.

Soon, Xiao Jian came in and saw Yuan Muye. He knelt down directly in front of Yuan Muye and said, "Brother Yuan, thank you for saving us."

"Get up, why are you kneeling?"

"You are our savior, and it's right for me to kowtow to thank you." Xiao Jian said politely.

Yuan Muye helped Xiao Jian up and said, "Don't be so polite, okay?"

Then the two chatted for a while before Yuan Muye sent Xiao Jian away.

After Xiao Jian left, Yuan Muye suddenly asked, "Can this kid cultivate?"

"Yes."

Wang Yajie seemed to know what Yuan Muye was going to ask. He answered crisply and added, "By the way, Brother Yuan, this kid also has a bronze soul talent, which is quite good. If you cultivate him well, his future achievements will be great."

Hearing this, Yuan Muye's heart stirred and he said, "Then you can keep him by your side from now on."

"Okay, Brother Yuan."

Wang Yajie responded quickly.

"If there's nothing else, I'll say hello to Deputy Director Liu, and we'll go back to Jiang City now."

"Okay, Brother Yuan."

After the two finished communicating, Yuan Muye found Deputy Director Liu.

When Deputy Director Liu saw Yuan Muye, he said with a smile, "Deputy Director Yuan, you're finally back. I thought something had happened to you."

"Deputy Director Liu, thank you for your concern. I'm here to say hello to you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back to Jiang City."

"Deputy Director Yuan has worked hard this time. I will definitely report it to the higher authorities and let the General Administration reward you."

"Thank you, Deputy Director Liu. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Yuan Muye didn't have any extra thoughts to talk nonsense with Deputy Director Liu. He just wanted to leave here now.

"Wait, Deputy Director Yuan, what's the hurry? We haven't had a good chat yet. Tell your old brother, what happened to you these days?"

Deputy Director Liu stared at Yuan Muye.

Then he said something that made Yuan Muye a little confused. He said, "Deputy Director Yuan, why do I feel that you have so much Yin energy on you?"

As soon as these words fell, Yuan Muye became a little nervous: "To be honest, Deputy Director Liu, this matter is quite complicated. It can't be finished in a short time, or I'll tell you next time if I have the opportunity."

"Negative emotional value from Deputy Director Liu +299..."

Deputy Director Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "Deputy Director Yuan, today is a good day to talk. I have time now. I want to hear about the complicated and thrilling things that happened to you during this time..."
