Yuan Muye glanced at Jiang Yicheng, his expression a little serious. He had wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Yicheng's reaction, he swallowed the words back down.

"They probably went to chase that light," Yuan Muye guessed.

Jiang Yicheng agreed with him, but when he thought about the fact that it had only been a minute or two since they left the forest, even if they were fast, they shouldn't have disappeared without a trace.

Could something really have happened?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yicheng suddenly became worried. They had just arrived, and if something really happened, what would the others think?

"I don't know where that light flew. What should we do next?" Jiang Yicheng had no clue, so he could only ask Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye subconsciously looked around, but because it was so dark, he couldn't see anything. Finding people in this place wouldn't be easy.

It was night, and if they made too much noise, they would definitely attract the attention of those evil ghosts, and then they would be in trouble.

"Captain Jiang, how about this? Let's split up and look for them. I don't think they'll go too far. In half an hour, whether we find them or not, we'll meet back here," Yuan Muye said, looking at Jiang Yicheng with a calm gaze.

At this time, they definitely had to split up. If they went together, it would be good if they found them, but if they didn't, it would be a waste of time.

Jiang Yicheng didn't want anything to happen to his apprentices either, so he accepted the suggestion.

After the two of them discussed it, they separated.

Yuan Muye walked towards the north side of the forest, and Jiang Yicheng went south.

Yuan Muye walked for a while without seeing a single ghost. He thought that such a good opportunity was rare. If he didn't cultivate his ghost body, wouldn't he be wasting it?

However, half an hour wasn't enough time for him to cultivate.

Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly thought of the Juyin Zhu (Yin Gathering Pearl) he had obtained from that female ghost.

He could use the Juyin Zhu to absorb the yin energy here, and then slowly cultivate when he returned.

Thinking of this, Yuan Muye immediately took out the Juyin Zhu and began to absorb the surrounding yin energy.

It had to be said that this Juyin Zhu was truly a treasure. In just a moment, it absorbed a lot of yin energy.

Yuan Muye wasn't greedy. Seeing that the yin energy had been absorbed enough, he took back the Juyin Zhu. He was afraid that absorbing too much would attract evil ghosts.

And those evil ghosts were all coveting the Juyin Zhu.

Just as Yuan Muye took back the Juyin Zhu and looked ahead, he accidentally saw a figure.

The figure disappeared in a flash. At first, he thought he was seeing things, until he heard a burst of laughter from the bushes not far away.

"Hehe..."

The laughter was low and cold.

In this situation, who would be there? It was obvious.

Yuan Muye looked in the direction of the sound and said in a cold voice, "Come out, stop playing tricks."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flew out of the bushes, but he didn't see Yuan Muye. Instead, he flew away directly.

Yuan Muye looked at the figure flying away rapidly, a sneer on his face. Did he think he could run away like that? He underestimated him too much.

With that, Yuan Muye chased after him.

Although the figure flew very fast, it was still far behind his Lingbo Weibu (Micro-step).

Soon, Yuan Muye caught up with the figure and blocked his path.

By the dim moonlight, Yuan Muye could see the figure clearly. It was a man, or rather, a male evil ghost.

Yuan Muye looked at the evil ghost with icy eyes and asked, "Why were you hiding in the bushes just now, pretending to be a ghost?"

"I just wanted to test you," the evil ghost said, looking at Yuan Muye with some fear.

He thought he was just an ordinary cultivator, but he didn't expect Yuan Muye to be so powerful. He had really stepped on a steel plate this time.

Yuan Muye looked at the evil ghost with a smile that wasn't really a smile and said, "You want to kill me?"

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Please let me go since I haven't done anything to you!" The evil ghost could see that Yuan Muye wasn't an ordinary cultivator. With his strength, he definitely couldn't compete with Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye originally wanted to kill this evil ghost directly, but then he thought that the evil ghost must be more familiar with the situation here than he was. It would be better to let him lead the way, which would save him trouble.

Thinking of this, Yuan Muye said to the evil ghost with a serious face, "I can let you go, but you have to answer me one question."

Hearing this, the evil ghost didn't think much and immediately replied, "As long as you're willing to let me go, not to mention one, I'll answer ten."

"Did you see two young people just now, a man and a woman?" Yuan Muye asked directly.

Hearing this, the evil ghost's expression changed slightly, and he didn't speak for a long time. Seeing his reaction, Yuan Muye realized that something was wrong, and asked again, "Did you see them?"

"I saw them. They were captured by our boss. If you want to save them, it's almost impossible," the evil ghost said, looking at Yuan Muye in a low voice.

Something really had happened.

Yuan Muye shouldn't have agreed to let them come. He was worried that they would be a burden from the beginning, and now it seemed that he was right.

"Your boss? Chen Ning?" Yuan Muye asked tentatively. In this place, besides Chen Ning, no one else should dare to call himself a boss, right?

The evil ghost was also stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and asked curiously, "How do you know? Do you know our boss?"

"More than know him, take me to see your boss," Yuan Muye said coldly.

The evil ghost's expression immediately became serious. He was afraid of death, that was true, but he wouldn't sell out his boss.

If he took Yuan Muye there, he would definitely die.

Seeing the evil ghost hesitate, Yuan Muye knew that the evil ghost definitely wasn't willing, and said again, "You want to die?"

"I don't." The evil ghost was very conflicted. In this situation, he would die either way!

"If you're worried about being discovered by Chen Ning, you just need to take me to the approximate location where he is. You don't need to show your face," Yuan Muye added. He knew those evil ghosts too well. They were greedy for life and afraid of death. As long as they hesitated, there was still room for negotiation.

The evil ghost widened his eyes, thinking that this method wasn't impossible. As long as he didn't die, it would be fine.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you won't reveal my identity, otherwise he will kill me," the evil ghost said, staring at Yuan Muye.

Yuan Muye nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, the evil ghost took him to an abandoned house on the edge of the forest. Standing far away, Yuan Muye could see the light shining from the abandoned house.

However, this light was a little different from ordinary light. This light was a ghostly green color.
