Qin An withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.

The ancient battlefield ruins were indeed full of crises, and even after he entered, he faced so many dangers.

Not to mention others.

However, fortunately, these crises were all completely resolved.

Qin An paused for a moment, then began searching Wu Nian’s body.

Looting the dead has been an unchanging principle since ancient times.

During this search, Qin An initially thought he wouldn’t find anything useful.

But he discovered five demon spirits in a pouch at Wu Nian’s waist.

Qin An absorbed the five demon spirits into his body, revealing a satisfied expression.

"True to being subordinates of those traitors; they’re really swimming in wealth."

"Even at this Great Success stage of the Element Transformation Realm, they managed to gather five demon spirits."

"But now these demon spirits are mine."

Qin An’s lips curled up, quickly suppressing the joy in his heart, then he thought of something else.

"Judging by this, the information from the Jinluan Holy Hall discussed with me earlier is mostly false, though this can still be verified."

"And this time the secret of the Jinluan Holy Hall involves not only those demon pseudo-gods from Cang Yuan but also other demon pseudo-god forces and these incredibly mysterious traitors. I must quickly find out the purpose of the demon pseudo-gods from Cang Yuan, or I’ll be on the back foot."

This time, not only did he take on the task, but a large number of Mountain Patrol Commanders did so too.

It’s fair to say that this is a very large-scale mission.

Qin An felt he also needed to speed up his progress.

Otherwise, if he couldn’t understand the opponent’s purpose before the opening of the Jinluan Holy Hall, the ancient battlefield ruins would inevitably fall into a terrifying storm.

With this in mind, Qin An didn’t linger any longer, then pulled out a token from his waist to check the last movements of related demon pseudo-gods, and quickly headed in that direction.

...

At this moment, in the ancient battlefield ruins, not only Qin An but the other Mountain Patrol Commanders were also taking action.

Some followed the last trace and found the demon pseudo-god forces, leading to fierce battles.

Some found nothing and continued searching ahead.

And within the ancient battlefield ruins, in a hidden location, Yu Caiyi was currently gathering many demon spirits of the Seven-Colored Fish Sect.

Not only her, but any demon pseudo-gods who could come to the ancient battlefield ruins had arrived.

Among them were also upstream forces.

And among these demon pseudo-gods, a large wolf demon was standing at the forefront.

The wolf demon’s strength wasn’t great and wasn’t outstanding among these demon pseudo-gods.

Yet many demon pseudo-gods focused their gaze on him.

The reason is simple, this time the opening of the Golden Palace Festival would be led by this wolf demon chief from Cang Yuan.

Although he wasn’t strong, since he held the secrets of the Golden Palace Holy Scripture, no demon pseudo-god voiced any objections.

The wolf demon chief glanced back, particularly gloating as he saw those usually arrogant upstream forces now obediently following his orders.

"Have all the demon pseudo-gods been tallied?" the wolf demon chief asked.

A wolf demon respectfully clasped its fists and replied, "Reporting to the chief, the count is complete. This time, twelve upstream forces have joined, along with more than a hundred mid-tier forces. As for the other lower-tier forces, they do not qualify to participate in this plan."

The wolf demon chief nodded slightly.

This kind of force, in these ancient battlefield ruins, apart from those Mountain Patrol Commanders, probably no one could resist.

"Be ready." the wolf demon chief said lightly, "Less than ten days remain before the opening of the Golden Palace Holy Scripture. I hope everyone restrains their subordinates and avoids exposing themselves to the Evil Extermination Bureau."

These words were directed at the demon pseudo-gods.

What no one expected was that even those elite leaders of the upstream forces nodded in agreement.

The wolf demon chief paused slightly and continued, "I’ve received information that the Evil Extermination Bureau’s Mountain Patrol Commanders have found numerous clues, but fortunately, they are unaware of the true secret of the Jinluan Holy Hall, so those Mountain Patrol Commanders returned empty-handed. However, I still hope everyone will exercise some restraint, after all, a thousand-mile dike can be collapsed by an anthill."

As soon as he finished speaking, a leader of an upstream force suddenly spoke up.

"Until now, the so-called secret of the Golden Palace Holy Scripture has not even been revealed to us. You want us to restrain ourselves, but no matter how we do it, you must at least let us know something, otherwise, this so-called restraint is just empty talk."

"After all, at such a time, if you don’t say, how do we know if what you’re saying is true or false?"

Upon hearing this, several demon pseudo-gods also began to agree.

They were actually quite loose, for if it weren’t for this situation gathering them, they might still be fighting on their own.

Therefore, it was quite normal for someone to express such thoughts.

The wolf demon chief swept his gaze across, sneering, "You are all outstanding individuals of the Celestial Cloud Path, so I don’t need to say more. You all know the principle that excessive talking leads to mistakes, so let’s all calm down."

"And rest assured, if I dared to deceive you, perhaps the entire Cang Yuan would no longer exist. I wouldn’t be that stupid."

This implied that he still wouldn’t reveal it for the time being.

The demon pseudo-god leader who first spoke furrowed his brows and said no more.

Yu Caiyi stood in the crowd, not speaking, merely observing everything around her with interest.

Once the wolf demon chief’s arrangements were completed, they dispersed again.

However, Yu Caiyi did not leave.

Her gaze met the wolf demon chief’s for a moment, then bypassed him to look at the side of the wolf demon chief.

Beside him stood a young man in white.

The young man had a head of black hair, eyes shining like stars, with extremely handsome features.

Just by standing there, he was as dazzling as a shining star.

After noticing Yu Caiyi’s gaze, the young man shifted his sight to her, nodding slightly before looking at the wolf demon chief, saying.

"I have some matters to discuss with Sect Leader Yu, you may leave first."

The wolf demon chief swept his gaze over Yu Caiyi, eyes flickering with a hint of complex emotion, and nodded in agreement.

He knew the identity of this young man.

It was known to very few among these demon pseudo-gods.

Now that this young man wanted to see Yu Caiyi, he had no objections.

Then, the wolf demon chief left with his subordinates.

Soon, only Yu Caiyi and the young man were left here.

After the young man’s gaze lingered on Yu Caiyi’s face for a moment, he spoke softly, "It seems you have already met our side’s traitor master."

Yu Caiyi nodded, saying, "I have met, and we have reached cooperation. As followers of the traitor, you should be aware."

The young man nodded slightly, then folded his hands behind his back, his tone suddenly becoming cold, "I want to ask, who exactly is Qin An?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Caiyi frowned, "He once offended the Seven-Colored Fish Sect, but managed to survive, and seems to be thriving in the Evil Extermination Bureau, with quite strong strength and potential."

This was the extent of the information she had received.

But she was more curious about why they were interested in Qin An.

With this in mind, Yu Caiyi asked her question.

Upon hearing this, the young man’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

"One of my men went to kill him, but was instead killed by him. This person has boundless potential, even the Defender at Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak holds him in high regard."

"He has also come to the ancient battlefield ruins for this mission, and if encountered in the Jinluan Holy Hall..."

At this point, the young man’s tone paused slightly, then an immense killing intent, centered on him, spread all around, destroying everything.

Yu Caiyi squinted, sensing that this young man’s strength was on par with her own.

"If encountered, what then?" Yu Caiyi asked.

The young man sneered, speaking calmly, "Slice him to death, peel off his skin, pull out his tendons, and ensure he dies beyond death!"
