Li Jinzhi didn't pay attention to Ye Yu's expression behind him. He walked to the edge of the hole and looked down. The surface of the ice blue lake was densely packed with Spirit Eating Fish. They were all fat and strong, and had simple and honest postures.

Driven by his own interests, Li Jinzhi said sincerely to Ye Dieer, "Don't worry, I'll save you!"

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." Ye Dieer wasn't pretentious. If he couldn't solve it himself, it would be meaningless.

Behind him, Ye Cheng had already restrained his expression. Only his dark pupils were still tightly constricted, and blood-red scales could be seen on the back of his neck.

Hidden under Li Jinzhi's sleeves, the Little Dragon, who hadn't moved for a long time, shifted uneasily. Its mung bean eyes turned blood-red, and the scales on the back of its neck faintly glowed with a bloody light.

"Ye Cheng, come here quickly. There are many Spirit-Eating Fish here!"

Li Jinzhi looked back with sparkling eyes and transmitted his voice, "The spiritual pearl in its body is very valuable. It can buy you many new clothes."

Ye Cheng, whose pupils were dark, was stunned. He looked at the sweat on the youth's nose and his dark pupils that were shining brightly.

His heart seemed to be empty.

Perhaps this person was the only one in the world who cared about how he dressed, ate, and lived.

Catch him!

Break his wings and trap him by his side, so that he could never leave!

Let him only have eyes for himself.

The red scales flickered, becoming more and more dazzling. In the end, they slowly faded into the skin.

If he did that, this person would no longer smile at him, no longer give him warmth, no longer make him worry, no longer make him worry, no longer make him try his best.

His mother once taught him that killing the goose that laid the golden eggs was the worst way to get what he wanted. The right way was to plan slowly.

Ye Cheng forcibly suppressed this thought that made his fingertips tremble with excitement. He waved his hand and pinned Qu Tong to the wall with his spiritual power. He calmly walked to Li Jinzhi's side and stuck his head out to look down. He pursed his lips and said, "I want a black robe."

"Okay!"

Li Jinzhi agreed, but his eyes were still fixed on the Spirit-Eating Fish below. "But how do we catch them?"

The Spirit Eating Fish devoured all spiritual energy. In front of it, magic tools were no different from ordinary pots and pans. As soon as the spiritual energy got close to it, it would be devoured.

It was too early for him to be happy, completely forgetting that he was unable to chew on this opportunity.

Ye Cheng stared at the Spirit-Eating Fish below him, frowned, and threw out a long whip made of spiritual power with one hand. The long whip was condensed from the ice attribute and carried a suffocating heat. The long whip drew a round arc in the air and fell down with a strong wind, but it broke inch by inch until it disappeared without a trace.

The scene in front of him was almost the same as what was described in the book, so Li Jinzhi was not very surprised. After a long while, he hesitated and said, "If I directly use the storage bag to collect these live fish, can I take them?"

The storage pouch was a necessary artifact for telekinesis.

"The storage pouch can't contain living things." Ye Cheng interrupted him telepathically. "Living things will die as soon as they enter the pouch."

"I don't want them to live." Li Jinzhi reached for the storage pouch. "There's no harm in trying."

Ye Yu took two steps back and did not refute him.

Ye Dieer stood on the ice pillar, unable to advance or retreat. He watched as Li Jinzhi exchanged glances with an unfamiliar man. After a long while, he took out a green storage pouch.

"Fellow Daoist Li, how do you plan to deal with such a large number of Spirit-Eating Fish?" Ye Dieer could not help but frown and ask through telepathic communication.

"I plan to collect them with the storage pouch."

Li Jinzhi raised his head, his expression very calm. After saying this, without waiting for Ye Dieer's reaction, he took out the storage pouch with one hand. The pouch moved with his heart, and the Spirit-Eating Fish above the undercurrent disappeared without a trace.

Ye Dieer, who was about to criticize Li Jinzhi for being unreliable, opened his mouth but did not say anything.

The storage pouch flew back. Li Jinzhi had just grabbed it when he suddenly felt a slight vibration from the storage pouch. His expression changed, and he threw the storage pouch toward the corridor far away from the hole.

"Bang!"

The storage pouch exploded in midair, and countless Spirit-Eating Fish scattered like flowers. Among them were a magic robe, a jade pendant, a few ancient books, and a few mid-grade spirit stones.

The items fell together with the fish. Li Jinzhi's face flashed with embarrassment. His family's wealth had been exposed. It was one thing to be filthy rich, but unfortunately, he was so poor that it made people's hair stand on end.

He was the poorest male protagonist in history, without a doubt.

Ye Cheng bent down and picked up a Spirit-Eating Fish, saying in a low voice, "It's already suffocated to death. Just now, the Spirit-Eating Fish must have swallowed all the spatial spiritual energy in the storage pouch, which caused the storage pouch to explode."

He stared at the jade pendant on the ground and suggested, "If you don't have a spare storage pouch, you can leave it with me." The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, as if he was not quite sure whether Li Jinzhi would believe him completely.

After all, a storage pouch was a cultivator's most private item.

Li Jinzhi, who was worried, immediately nodded. "Okay!"

He tiptoed over the fish corpses on the ground and picked up the scattered personal items. "Then I'll have to trouble you. When we get out, I'll immediately buy a new storage pouch."

"Okay."

Ye Cheng took out the black storage pouch and accepted the items handed over by the other party, leaving only the jade pendant. "It's mine." He said concisely, asking for the right to return it.

Li Jinzhi fell silent. After a while, he frowned and said, "I'm keeping it for a little guy."

"You gave it to me in the beginning." Ye Cheng looked at Li Jinzhi's wrist with an unfriendly gaze. "Hmm?"

"Squeak squeak squeak." A soft sound came from his wrist. "Ow squeak squeak."

Li Jinzhi heard this and looked at his wrist in confusion, but still handed over the jade pendant. "It promised to give it to you."

Ye Cheng nodded in satisfaction. After putting away the jade pendant, he put away the Spirit-Eating Fish on the ground.

"Thank you."

Without the Spirit-Eating Fish interfering with the spiritual energy, Ye Dieer had already left the ice pillar. At this time, he was standing behind Li Jinzhi with a look of realization. Seeing the two of them put away the Spirit-Eating Fish, he transmitted his thanks.

"It's nothing. It's also an opportunity for me."

Li Jinzhi replied coldly. He had never dared to take this female lead lightly. Moreover, her personality suddenly became cold and aloof, which made him even more suspicious.

The villain Ye Cheng was obviously not the weakling Ye Cheng behind him who was covered in poison. The dragon-scaled demon cultivator who destroyed the Li Family Fort was most likely the villain Ye Cheng. The female lead's personality changed greatly in the past six months and she lost her voice, so she was still the most suspicious.

The female lead could not have. Li Jinzhi did not dare to forget the maxim of covering one's chrysanthemum and walking around it.

Ye Dieer, who did not know that his knee had been shot, nodded and said, "Not everyone can take advantage of an opportunity. Only you can learn and use it flexibly. After we leave this place, I might have to fight for the position of the library's chief disciple." He did not mention the Spirit-Eating Fish. "I still have a task that Master entrusted to me, so I'll take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Cheng with a puzzled expression. "You have to pay attention to the Demon Sect's disciples. Master said that the Demon Sect's Patriarch Xi Pu is trying to break through to the mid-stage of Yuanying. If he succeeds, the balance here will be broken." Then, he turned and walked away confidently.

Li Jinzhi was stunned when he heard this. Only then did he remember the war between the Righteous and Demon Sects that broke out earlier!

It was just that he was distracted by his family's matters and his cultivation, causing him to completely forget about it!

And the reason for this war was this trip to the mystic realm!

The Moksha had been planning this for several years. High-level Moksha suppressed their cultivation and sneaked into this place to kill the Immortal Sect's disciples with potential. After this trip to the mystic realm ended, less than thirty percent of the Immortal Sect's disciples made it out alive.

The Immortal Sect's disciples were caught off guard. In addition, the Demon Sect had a mid-stage Yuanying. The Immortal Sect lost the first battle and was forced to retreat. First, they lost the subsidiary cities, then the Spirit Mountain's mines. In the end, the Immortal Sect had no choice but to sacrifice the rook to protect the general.

The original male lead was the first to be sacrificed as bait.

This war directly pushed the original male lead to leave the Ice Region and head to the Guangyuan Desert. It also made the male lead become especially tenacious and cold.

But it was also this war that made the original male lead and the female lead go through thick and thin together. When they left the Ice Region, the original male lead was not alone.

And now, before the war started, the female lead who was supposed to be by his side had become a man.

Sigh!!

Compared to the main leads, the main lead will be angered to death!

"Don't worry. If we meet demons, we'll kill demons. If we meet ghosts, we'll kill ghosts. I'll always be here." Ye Cheng interrupted.

Li Jinzhi's heart warmed, but his expression was serious. "Follow me."

There wasn't much time left. He had to quickly get more bargaining chips and take Ye Cheng to the Guangyuan Desert. He didn't want to get involved in the mess between the Righteous Path and the Demon Sect. He also didn't want to spread the story he knew.

When he turned back to look for Qu Tong, he found that she had been tied to the ice wall by Ye Cheng and had fainted. The reason was the high-temperature ice collar around her neck.

Ye Cheng explained, "If she sees us, I'm afraid we'll be in trouble."

"Well done. Wake her up."

Qu Tong was tortured to death. In the end, she didn't dare to have any other thoughts and hurriedly brought the two of them to the back and escaped.

Today, Li Jinzhi and Ye Cheng were left standing alone in front of the crystal clear ice wall.

"Kashiwabara didn't come here?" Li Jinzhi was a little surprised.

"If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen to throw my life away if I knew I couldn't win." Ye Cheng condensed an icicle with one hand and brought it close to the ice wall.

Li Jinzhi looked at the melting ice wall and the scorching heat in the other party's hand. He praised, "In the past, I couldn't figure out what the blood lines in the qi-testing disk were. Now that I think about it, it's the work of this extreme Yang ice spiritual energy."

Ye Cheng stared at the icicle in his hand and looked meaningfully at Li Jinzhi. He said ambiguously, "Yes and no."

"Hmm?

Could it be something else? "Li Jinzhi frowned. The strange feeling was getting stronger.

At this moment, the ice wall cracked and the thing in the anteroom appeared in front of them.
