Chapter 318: Chapter 317: Joining Forces

"The legendary Ghost Spirit Fruit, it truly exists!"

Just as Ye Xuan discovered the Ghost Spirit Fruit, another group of people also appeared.

Ye Xuan looked up and realized they were from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Ye Xuan paid them no mind and reached out to pluck the Ghost Spirit Fruit growing in the air, then ate it right in front of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples.

"Ghost Spirit Fruit!"

It took the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect a whole month to find this Ghost Spirit Fruit, and now someone had eaten it, which made them extremely enraged.

But in the next moment, their anger was extinguished.

Because they recognized Ye Xuan.

"Why is it him?!"

All the thousands of disciples from the Heavenly Demon Sect gnashed their teeth bitterly.

They would have rather encountered the disciples from Luotian Sacred Land led by Di Feng than meet Ye Xuan.

Previously, they had been preparing to cause trouble for Ye Xuan and others inside the Ghost Tomb.

But a month earlier, after Ye Xuan had slaughtered wantonly in the Yinling Mountain Range, no one dared to provoke him anymore.

Let alone them, even the top forces in the Southern Domain did not dare to provoke Ye Xuan.

"So it is Young Master Ye."

Although the leader from the Heavenly Demon Sect was bleeding inside, he still forced a smile and said to Ye Xuan with a clasped fist.

"Are you looking for the Ghost Spirit Fruit?" Ye Xuan, riding Tian Lu, came to the front of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples and asked slowly.

Everyone who saw Ye Xuan riding Tian Lu revealed a look of awe.

They could all tell that Ye Xuan’s mount was extraordinary.

"Indeed," replied the leading person of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who was also the Saint Heir of the sect, nodding slightly.

Since Ye Xuan had already heard their conversation, there was nothing to hide.

"Where did you get the news about the Ghost Spirit Fruit?" Ye Xuan asked calmly.

The Ghost Spirit Fruit can only be found in the Heavenly Pond Graveyard; perhaps this Ghost Tomb has some connection to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, hence the presence of the Ghost Spirit Fruit.

He wanted to get something out of the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s question, the Saint Heir did not answer right away but instead asked, "Is Young Master Ye also looking for the Ghost Spirit Fruit?"

Ye Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, I don’t even know what the Ghost Spirit Fruit is."

These words made the Saint Heir’s eyes twitch uncontrollably.

You don’t know?

Then what the hell did you just eat?

But the Saint Heir dared not say that, and could only stiffen his neck and explained, "The strange fruit that Young Master Ye just ate is the Ghost Spirit Fruit."

"I see, it doesn’t seem to have any effect. Where did you hear about this Ghost Spirit Fruit?" Ye Xuan asked with a puzzled face.

Seeing that Ye Xuan really seemed oblivious, the Saint Heir was confused.

Does this guy really not know?

He doesn’t look like he is lying.

The Saint Heir’s eyes darted about, and with a smile, he said, "If Young Master Ye is interested, we can seek it together."

"That’s fine." Ye Xuan did not refuse; he wanted to see from where exactly the Heavenly Demon Sect got their information and if there was any mention of the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

If the Ghost Tomb was connected to the Heavenly Pond Graveyard, he could gain an additional trump card.

In every Forbidden Land in the world, Ye Xuan had laid out contingency plans.

This was one of the reasons why Ye Xuan was known as the Forbidden Land God.

Unfortunately, there were no such Forbidden Lands in the Southern Domain, otherwise, Ye Xuan could have gone there.

Seeing Ye Xuan agree so readily, the Saint Heir was momentarily stunned.

He had thought Ye Xuan would decline with some excuse; he had even been prepared to persuade him.

"Since we’re now allies, tell me about the information regarding the Ghost Spirit Fruit."

Ye Xuan was straightforward.

The Saint Heir’s mouth twitched, he took a deep breath to steady his emotions, and then said, "Actually, we also learned about the Ghost Spirit Fruit from the Blood God Palace. I’m not too clear on the specifics."

"In that case, our partnership ends here," said Ye Xuan as he rode away on Tian Lu.

"Eh?!"

The disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were dumbfounded.

Did he just turn on them that quickly?

Just like flipping through a book?

The Saint Heir, who had finally calmed down, became agitated again; he was even on the verge of cursing.

Why doesn’t this guy ever play by the rules?

"Young Master Ye, please wait!" the Saint Heir hastily called out.

"Speak," Ye Xuan said without turning back.

"I may not be very certain, but I know how to find the Ghost Spirit Fruit," the Saint Heir called out loudly.

Ye Xuan ignored the Saint Heir and disappeared from the eyes of the Heavenly Demon Sect disciples.

At that moment, the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Sect cut a disheveled figure in the wind.

Fuck.

What the hell?

Is he leaving just like that?!

Didn’t he want the Ghost Spirit Fruit?!

The Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Sect felt utterly confused; what exactly had happened just now, and what kind of thing had he encountered?

"Go to hell!"

Fuming with anger, the Saint Heir of the Heavenly Demon Sect exclaimed, "Let’s go!"

Following that, the Saint Heir led the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect back onto the road in search of the Ghost Spirit Fruit.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan was riding Tian Lu as he went to find the people from the Blood God Palace.

He had to clear up the connection between the Ghost Tomb and the Heavenly Pond Graveyard.

This was very important to him.

As for the search for the Ghost Spirit Fruit, did he even need the help of the Heavenly Demon Sect?

Just looking at that group of idiots, he could guess that it probably took them a month to find that Ghost Spirit Fruit.

With that kind of efficiency, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but be unimpressed.

At this very moment.

The people from the Blood God Palace were not searching for the Ghost Spirit Fruit, but had gathered together instead.

Among them, eight disciples with the strongest abilities sat in a circle with a black-skinned map in the middle.

What that map was made of was a mystery; it was so ancient and worn that it clearly had many years behind it.

"According to the Master, the entrance is right here, but there are ghosts of Ghost King Level there. If we go like this, I’m afraid we’ll be killed instantly," said one Blood Robed Youth, pointing at a canyon on the black-skinned map and speaking in a low voice.

"Otherwise, we could send four people to go, and the others stay here to be ready for backup," suggested another youth.

"This could work," the others nodded slightly in agreement.

"Saint Heir, what do you think?" asked the Blood Robed Youth, turning to the youth sitting cross-legged next to him, his eyes closed in meditation.

This youth looked to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a complexion pale as paper and completely devoid of any color, which was quite unsettling.

This person was none other than Xia Yichen, the Saint Heir of the Blood God Palace.

Upon hearing what everyone said, Xia Yichen, the Saint Heir of the Blood God Palace, slowly opened his eyes and calmly stated, "I will go alone, you all just wait here for me."

"What?!"

The faces of the Blood God Palace’s people changed dramatically.

"Saint Heir, even though you are very powerful, there are Ghost King presences in that place. If there’s no one to back you up, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to deal with," the Blood Robed Youth couldn’t help but advise.

"So, I simply won’t fight with the Ghost King," Xia Yichen said lightly.

The others were suddenly left speechless.

If Ghost Kings were so easy to deal with, the seniors of the Blood God Palace would have entered that place long ago.

To get their hands on this map, countless predecessors from the Blood God Palace had sacrificed themselves every time the Ghost Tomb was opened, all to serve as a foundation to fully explore that place.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t even know about the existence of a Ghost King there.

"Saint Heir..." the Blood Robed Youth still wanted to persuade him.

But at that moment, everyone’s expressions turned somber, and they closed their mouths, quickly putting away the black-skinned map and stood up to look in a certain direction.

Someone was coming!

From within the misty haze, suddenly, someone riding a Pixiu Holy Beast approached.

"It’s Ye Xuan!"

Some disciples from the Blood God Palace recognized Ye Xuan, and they exclaimed in surprise.

"Ye Xuan?!" Everyone was taken aback, their expressions becoming serious.

It was actually this guy.

"He didn’t overhear what we just said, did he?" the Blood Robed Youth asked with narrowed eyes.

"You’re from the Blood God Palace, right?" Ye Xuan approached, a smile on his face.

He had been listening in secret for a while and was sure that these guys knew quite a few secrets.

"Ye Xuan, we of the Blood God Palace have not provoked you," said the Blood Robed Youth in a grave tone.

Everyone was warily watching Ye Xuan, worried that he was looking for trouble.

"Don’t panic, I’m not here to cause trouble, I’ve come to propose an alliance," Ye Xuan said, smiling.

"An alliance?"

People of the Blood God Palace looked at one another, feeling utterly perplexed.

Why would Ye Xuan want to form an alliance with them?

"As a token of the alliance, let me have a look at your map," Ye Xuan stated bluntly.

At these words, a murderous intent arose.

The people of the Blood God Palace were all glaring at Ye Xuan, as if ready to act at any moment.

"Hold on," the pale-faced Xia Yichen slowly interjected.
