#666 - Chapter 666 Mysterious Man

The daylight hours in this primeval forest seemed very short, and soon, night fell.

After nightfall, the primeval forest was devoid of light, a pitch-black expanse.

Strange and bizarre sounds constantly echoed from the depths of the forest, each sound radiating an eerie aura.

Those who heard it almost broke out in goosebumps; it was a chilling sensation that arose from the depths of their bones and blood.

Ye Kong, however, remained nonchalant, as even the most terrifying scenarios were mere child's play to him.

To be honest, the only reason he was willing to play along with them until now was because he was certain that Little White was still alive.

If anything were to happen to Little White, he would spare no expense in making the entire otherworld pay for it.

Ye Kong rummaged through his storage ring, pulling out some utensils and tossing out the shark he had hunted earlier.

He then whittled some branches to skewer the shark, using his spiritual power to create a fire and roast the fish in the damp environment.

Before long, the fish was roasted to a perfect golden-brown crisp on the outside and tender on the inside.

Perhaps it was because this shark was of a decent cultivation level, but even without Ye Kong adding any spices or seasonings, the savory aroma of roasted fish wafted far and wide.

As Ye Kong cooked the shark meat, the entire forest seemed to tremble.

Many of the strange creatures that Ye Kong had seen during the day unconsciously swarmed towards him.

They marched with unified steps, their eyes as hollow and lifeless as ever, merely following a vague consciousness.

Ye Kong naturally heard all the strange changes occurring in this forest, and he helplessly curled the corners of his lips, saying.

"They're really restless fellows, huh? Planning to keep an eye on me every hour of the day and night?"

Ye Kong seemed to be talking to himself, as he nonchalantly used his Eight Desolate Demon Halberd to fork out a piece of shark meat and put it in his mouth.

After Ye Kong asked this question, the forest fell into a long silence.

It seemed that even the wind had stopped at this moment.

The corners of Ye Kong's mouth curled up slightly; he knew that he had bet correctly this time.

The people from the otherworld had been lured out, but he still didn't know if they were the ones who had abducted Little White.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it that you don't want any, so I'll just eat it all, okay?"

Ye Kong acted extremely patiently, using the Eight Desolate Demon Halberd to fork up a piece of fish and eat it with large bites, appearing as if he would devour all the meat.

The other party seemed to be moved by Ye Kong's words; after a while, Ye Kong heard a slight rustling sound from the tree to his left.

Ye Kong followed the sound and saw a leaf fluttering down, landing right at his feet.

Before Ye Kong could bend down to pick up the leaf, he saw several droplets of water quickly rolling across its surface.

The water droplets adhered very cleverly, slowly forming several symbols that Ye Kong did not recognize.

Fortunately, the system was very helpful this time; the moment the water droplets appeared, the system quickly provided an explanation.

"Leave me some!"

When Ye Kong saw these four large characters appear on the system screen, the image of that person's domineering yet greedy appearance couldn't help but appear in his mind, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"You can have some, but I have a condition."

This time, the water droplets appeared on the leaf very quickly, and the system also gave a decisive answer, but the handwriting displayed by the system was crooked and distorted.

It was quite in line with the person's current eager mood.

"I know you want to ask about your disciple, but I won't say. Just take good care of Little Shan!"

Ye Kong read this line several times, understanding in his heart.

The person who came this time was probably someone related to Little Shan's background; who exactly it was, he didn't know yet.

"Who are you? Tell me, and all the remaining meat is yours!" Ye Kong patted the shark meat generously.

This time, the water droplets on the leaf appeared again very quickly, and the system translated it as:

"I want all the meat, but I won't tell you who I am!"

"Also, let me tell you, be careful, your opponent is not weak!"

Ye Kong couldn't help but laugh when he saw this line appearing on the system screen.

It seemed that the person who came this time was an ally, not an enemy.

"All the meat is yours; thank you for your kind reminder."

Although he didn't achieve his expected result, he inadvertently unearthed content related to Little Shan's background and gained someone who might become an ally in the future, so Ye Kong waved his hand generously.

The moment Ye Kong waved his hand, all the meat he had just roasted disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, hey, hey, I said I'd give it all to you, but you really took it all?"

Ye Kong looked at the vanished roasted meat with a pained expression.

And obviously, the heartless person who took the roasted meat would not turn back again.

It was said that after Lin Yaoyao greeted Yun, she led a group of junior brothers and sisters directly around Luo Yangtian's eyes and ears, and went down the mountain in a roundabout way.

It wasn't that they intentionally avoided Luo Yangtian, but rather the Sect Leader's big mouth.

If he knew the news of their departure, it would probably be spread everywhere within half an hour.

The group didn't dare to stop at all, and flew all the way to the location of Lianyun Continent's prefecture.

"Eldest Senior Sister, should we notify the Deputy Peak Master and have him go with us?"

Xiao Qing recalled the unfair treatment she had received in the otherworld before, and said somewhat hesitantly.

Lin Yaoyao thought for a while, and was about to refuse.

Mu Qianqian stood up and said, "Eldest Senior Sister, I think what Senior Sister Xiao Qing said is right. We're going to rescue someone."

"Naturally, we have to ensure that everything is foolproof before we can rest assured."

Lin Yaoyao nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's right, then let's call the Deputy Peak Master together!"

After Lin Yaotian finished speaking, she directly blew the bone whistle that she had been hanging around her neck.

In fact, Ye Ling had already noticed when Lin Yaoyao acted.

However, she recalled what Ye Kong had said before: now that the disciples have grown up, it's good to let go and hand over many things to them.

So she didn't intervene, but instead had been sending people to keep an eye on Lin Yaoyao and the others' whereabouts.

When Lin Yaoyao blew the bone whistle, Ye Ling was obviously stunned.

She thought that Lin Yaoyao and the others had encountered an attack, and the people she had sent out hadn't had time to report to her.

Therefore, as soon as the bone whistle was blown, she jumped up, leaving a group of old ministers waiting for her to start a meeting staring at each other with wide eyes.

She instantly teleported to Lin Yaotian and the others' presence.

"Little fellows, we meet again. What's the matter that you've summoned me for this time?"

Ye Ling put down the airs of the Spirit of All Things in front of Lin Yaotian and the others, appearing very kind and amiable.

Lin Yaoyao couldn't care about so much at this moment, and directly told Ye Ling everything that had happened on Xiaoyao Peak in the past few days.
