"Are you leaving?"

Cheng Dongliang was somewhat surprised. Li Xiaoyao was a cultivator, and the Ghost Market should have been very attractive to him.

He had encountered many martial artists and cultivators, but had never seen anyone leave the Ghost Market halfway through.

Li Xiaoyao said, "Yes, I have some matters to take care of."

Cheng Dongliang nodded and said, "After the Ghost Market ends, I will also head back. Don't forget the matter you promised me."

"What matter?" Li Xiaoyao looked puzzled; he truly couldn't remember promising anything to Cheng Dongliang.

Cheng Dongliang said irritably, "Come to the military area and help me train those kids."

Li Xiaoyao frowned. He remembered this matter, but it wasn't important to him. If Cheng Dongliang hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have recalled it.

"All right, I understand." A promise was a promise, and it must be kept, but there were priorities. If Li Xiaoyao had time, going there to give some guidance wasn't an issue.

"Zhang Sanqian was planning to invite you to dinner tonight, but seeing how urgent your matter is, you probably won't have time now."

"Zhang Sanqian?" Li Xiaoyao had some impression of this old-timer; this old man's cultivation level was even stronger than Lin Changfu's.

"Yes, but since you're busy, forget it. I will explain to him later."

Li Xiaoyao nodded and, taking Lin Yuanyuan with him, turned around and left.

"Xiaoyao." Cheng Dongliang suddenly called out to him, asking, "It seems your friend has disappeared."

Cheng Dongliang was referring to Jiang Lichun. This old man had vanished on his first day in the Ghost Market and had completely disappeared. Cheng Dongliang had sent people to search for him privately, but with no success, meaning Jiang Lichun wasn't at the Ghost Market.

"Don't worry about him." In one-on-one combat, Li Xiaoyao wasn't even sure he could win against Jiang Lichun.

Although he didn't know where the old man had gone off to, Li Xiaoyao was certain, very certain, that the old man wouldn't be in any trouble.

The two of them left the Ghost Market entrance. As they came out, they happened to run into Jin Mu.

The guardian of this entrance to the Ghost Market, once again seeing Li Xiaoyao, was filled with respect.

"Hello, Master Li."

"Mm," Li Xiaoyao nodded at him without any further conversation and left directly.

Jin Mu watched Li Xiaoyao's retreating figure, his heart filled with emotion.

He originally thought Li Xiaoyao was just an ordinary martial artist, but the major events that unfolded in the Ghost Market over the past few days had shocked him beyond measure.

This young man turned out to be a master of spells, and not to mention, one with a very high cultivation level.

Jin Mu felt fortunate that he hadn't given Li Xiaoyao a hard time initially, otherwise, he wouldn't be standing here unscathed.

The Ghost Market was more than a hundred miles away from the highway, and Lin Yuanyuan, being an ordinary person, started to complain after walking just one mile.

Li Xiaoyao had no choice but to carry her and ran all the way.

Two hours later, Li Xiaoyao reached the edge of the highway.

There were various luxury cars parked there, and when Cheng Dongliang's driver saw Li Xiaoyao, he immediately approached.

"Back to Ling City," Li Xiaoyao instructed as he got into the car.

…

Tens of miles outside the Ghost Market, in the midst of the mountains, Jiang Lichun stood outside a cave dwelling, looking at the vine-covered entrance with an increasingly solemn expression.

Before coming to the Ghost Market, Jiang Lichun had calculated a fortune, which revealed that his trip to the Ghost Market would bring him a great opportunity.

Guided by the fortune, Jiang Lichun left the Ghost Market, traveled south, and entered the mountains, eventually arriving at this cave dwelling.

On his journey here, Jiang Lichun encountered several demon beasts, each possessing powerful cultivation levels.

One should know that demon beasts are extremely rare in this world.

Jiang Lichun had only seen them before in untamed deep mountains like Zhongnan Mountain, the Kunlun Mountains, and Shennongjia, which had not been developed by humans.

Jiang Lichun had never been to Ling City before, and this was his first time venturing into these mountains.

Unexpectedly, this place was home to so many demon beasts, and their cultivation levels were also incredibly formidable.

```

It was precisely because he encountered these demon beasts that Jiang Lichun felt even more confident about the great opportunity indicated by the divination.

Fortune comes with peril, and the path he had tread was already so dangerous that the final opportunity must be extraordinary.

With this momentum, Jiang Lichun slew seven demon beasts along the way and finally found this cave dwelling.

Outside the cave dwelling stood a stone tablet inscribed with five large characters: "Tomb of Li Changfeng."

This was an ancient grave!

Jiang Lichun was slightly excited in his heart; he was almost certain that buried within this ancient tomb, surrounded by many demon beasts, lay a cultivator with an extremely strong cultivation level.

He circled around the cave dwelling and found several demon beasts resting with closed eyes, all of their cultivation levels within the Condensation Realm.

Jiang Lichun held his breath, his face somber as he silently walked away.

The presence of demon beasts made this place truly dangerous, but it also indirectly proved that the ancient tomb was no ordinary place.

Jiang Lichun reined in his energy and cautiously made his way towards the ancient tomb.

However, just as he had taken a few steps, a terrifying aura burst forth in an instant, repelling Jiang Lichun several meters back.

Jiang Lichun's eyes widened in shock as he stared at the space before him, where a faint light barrier had appeared without a sound.

"A formation barrier!"

This layer of light, like a halo, enveloped the entire ancient tomb.

Jiang Lichun had just stepped into the ancient tomb's warning perimeter, triggering the formation barrier, which then repelled him.

The demon beasts around, hearing the commotion, instantly opened their eyes, their massive bodies twisting as they rose from the ground, roaring continuously, their large blood-red eyes turning towards the direction of the cave dwelling.

In a few breaths' time, four or five demon beasts ran wildly from all directions, surrounding Jiang Lichun.

Jiang Lichun calmly surveyed and quickly formed hand seals with his right hand, completing them in the blink of an eye, and pushed them towards a tiger-shaped demon beast.

"Seal!"

As this word fell, an ethereal handprint flew out from his hands, hurtling towards the tiger-shaped demon beast.

The tiger-shaped demon beast growled and leaped up, opening its huge mouth wide.

The handprint struck the tiger-shaped demon beast, and a massive energy burst forth instantly, sending it flying.

Having succeeded in his strike, Jiang Lichun turned into a shadow and vanished in an instant.

At that moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly trembled.

Jiang Lichun sensed something and looked back, his pupils rapidly constricting.

Behind the cave dwelling, a huge serpent dozens of zhang long was rapidly pursuing him.

This serpent had fiery red scales, and its presence sent tremors through Jiang Lichun's soul.

Jiang Lichun dared not linger and immediately stimulated his body's potential, pushing his speed to the limit as he ran wildly.

The huge serpent twisted its body, and everywhere it passed, trees broke and earth and stones collapsed.

As the huge serpent watched Jiang Lichun's rapidly fading figure, it suddenly raised its head and let out a fierce howl that pierced through dozens of li.

Dozens of li away in Ghost Market, martial artists who were exchanging cultivation experiences all heard the howl and were startled into a state of shock.

"What is that sound?"

"There's a demon beast!"

Zhang Sanqian, Lin Changfu, Yue Zhong, and other cultivators who had reached the Condensation Realm all stood up, keenly looking towards the direction of the sound.

Zhang Sanqian frowned and said, "The sound is coming from the south."

Lin Changfu said with puzzlement, "Is there a demon beast in the midst of the mountains?"

"Listening to the sound, it shouldn't be too far, about one or two li away," Yue Zhong licked his lips and said, "It should be a demon beast of the Condensation Realm. Fellow Daoists Zhang and Lin, how about we join forces and slay that demon beast?"

Upon hearing this, the two of them became tempted, contemplating for a few seconds before replying, "I had the same thought."
