The Mountain Drill Leopard's face instantly changed, "Why are you asking me to take off my shoes? If anyone's taking them off, it's you. You're the only woman in the whole car!"

Chen Shuyu's gaze suddenly deepened, "I'll ask you again..."

Before Chen Shuyu could finish, her eyes fell on the Mountain Drill Leopard's side of the car door.

The Mountain Drill Leopard's expression shifted drastically, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What are you looking at? Don't scare me!"

As he questioned Chen Shuyu, he turned his head, and when he saw the red shoe lying by the door, he let out a terrified scream, "This... how is there a shoe here?"

Chen Shuyu said urgently, "Don't stop the car, keep driving. Mountain Drill Leopard, pick up the shoe, open the window, quickly."

The Mountain Drill Leopard gingerly hooked the shoe with two fingers and lifted it up. A strange smell, the kind only found on corpses, filled the entire car.

Chen Shuyu pinched a spirit talisman between two fingers, waved it in the air, and the talisman ignited without fire.

Chen Shuyu then pointed her fingertip at the red shoe, stuffed the burning talisman entirely into the shoe, and said, "Throw the shoe out, quickly!"

The Mountain Drill Leopard flung his hand and threw the shoe towards the side of the road. The red shoe, with flames still on it, rolled several times on the highway before falling into the grass.

The firelight from the spirit talisman flashed and disappeared in the grass!

When I looked back out the car window, the female ghost who had stopped our car was squatting in the grass, half of her body exposed, her face turned towards the car with a continuous sneer.

Her movements looked like she was putting on a shoe!

Once she put on her shoes, she would be waiting for me at the next intersection!

The Mountain Drill Leopard kept looking outside several times, "Master Li, Master Li... that female ghost is on the side of the road, why don't you go down and kill her!"

"Shut your mouth!" I took a deep breath and said, "Chen Shuyu, do you know of any ghosts or monsters that can specifically deal with Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren?"

Chen Shuyu thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of any! At least, we haven't discovered any yet. Are you saying: that female ghost was targeting Jie Ming Ren?"

I said in a deep voice, "Ghosts and monsters can instantly suck away a victim's Yang energy and vital essence, but they can't take away their lifespan. A person's lifespan is useless for a ghost's cultivation."

"There are four people in our car. When the ghost passed by us, at least thirty percent of my and Ye Yang's lifespans were taken away, but you two were unharmed."

"I can't help but suspect that the female ghost has the ability to target Jie Ming Ren."

Chen Shuyu responded, "The lifespan of a Jie Ming Ren doesn't belong to them in the first place, so it's relatively unstable. There have also been cases of Jie Ming Ren stealing each other's lifespans..."

"Shen Youyou!" Chen Shuyu suddenly said a person's name.

I turned my head and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"A sorcerer, also a ghost god!" Chen Shuyu said, "There was once a special existence among the Jie Ming Ren, she never accepted orders from the underworld, but she could possess countless lifespans, because she had the ability to extract the lifespans of Jie Ming Ren."

"That person was named Shen Youyou, and was called the 'Heaven-Seizing妖女 Yaonu (Demoness)' by the Jie Ming Ren."

"Shen Youyou's appearance once caused a sensation. The Heaven-Seizing Demoness suppressed the Jie Ming Ren for as long as ten years with her own power, and finally forced the Jie Ming Ren of the world to join forces to fight her, only then was she killed."

"Thirty years later, the Heaven-Seizing Demoness reappeared and frantically hunted down the Jie Ming Ren who had participated in the encirclement and suppression of her. At that time, she had already become a ghost god."

"Therefore, the Jie Ming Ren of the world widely invited experts to join forces a second time to encircle and suppress Shen Youyou. That time, the entire sorcery world gathered thousands of experts, of which Jie Ming Ren accounted for fifty percent."

"That great battle should have been earth-shattering, but in the end, it became silent and invisible. The sorcerers who besieged Shen Youyou all disappeared, and Shen Youyou never appeared in the martial world again."

I couldn't help but be stunned, "When was that?"

"About two hundred years ago!" Chen Shuyu said, "It's not difficult to verify this matter. Because, the Underworld once reorganized the Jie Ming Ren, the reason being that more than ninety percent of the Jie Ming Ren disappeared with Shen Youyou."

I said in a deep voice, "Do you think it's possible that Shen Youyou is in Yunlin Mountain?"

"This..." Chen Shuyu said, "It's hard to say. After all, there were no witnesses to that great battle back then. However..."

Chen Shuyu changed the subject and said, "If Shen Youyou is really in Yunlin Mountain, then Wei Xuesong will definitely come."

"According to my investigation, Wei Xuesong has a deep blood feud with the Jie Ming Ren."

"Wei Xuesong's wife and children died at the hands of the Jie Ming Ren. Moreover, their deaths were extremely tragic. Back then, when the Jie Ming Ren were hunting down a Tian Ji (Heavenly Grade) Di Hun (Earthly Soul), in order to lure the snake out of its hole, they did something that involved using living people as bait. Wei Xuesong's wife and children were among the bait captured by the Jie Ming Ren."

"Although Wei Xuesong was an elder in the Thief Sect back then, he only occupied an advantage in terms of seniority. His cultivation and influence were not high. The Thief Sect was unwilling to take action to avenge him. The Jie Ming Ren side also gave him some compensation in a few simple strokes, and wanted to gloss over this blood case."

"After Wei Xuesong received the compensation, he left the Thief Sect without saying a word. Not long after that, Wei Xuesong stole the Thief Sect's treasure and went deep into Yunlin Mountain, never to be seen again."

"If we infer from this perspective, then the Heaven-Seizing Demoness may really be hidden in Yunlin Mountain."
