Just at this moment!

Qin Feng, who had originally stepped aside, performed a backflip to arrive in front of Yiyi.

Boom——!

Qin Feng crossed his arms in front of him, forcefully bearing the brunt of the palm strike!

Upon seeing this, Uncle Chai breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time.

The look he gave Qin Feng was filled with complexity.

"Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Yiyi asked.

"Yiyi, you go back first! I need to speak with him," Uncle Chai said.

"He's a good person," Yiyi seriously voiced, "Don't lay a hand on him, there aren't many good people left in this world."

"Understood," Uncle Chai responded.

Yiyi set down the teapot and then to Qin Feng said, "Don't worry, if my grandpa breaks his word, just shout, and I will help you."

After speaking.

She then left.

She wasn't speaking up for Qin Feng just because he had saved her just now.

In the past two days, Uncle Chai had assigned her to shadow Qin Feng and his group. Qin Feng almost always entered dangerous territories alone, worrying for his companions' safety, and whenever his companions were in danger, he was also the first to rush to their rescue.

Having witnessed much plunder and slaughter in North Country Forest Mountain, she seldom encountered someone like Qin Feng who placed his companions above all else.

From the bottom of her heart, she liked him, this good person.

The room once again fell silent.

Uncle Chai said to Qin Feng, "I can tell that the palm strike you took for Yiyi just now was an instinctual reaction, and I am truly grateful. I won't harm you, so you may leave! As for Ghost Immortal Cave, I know nothing of it."

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Uncle Chai, you've got it wrong; I am here to settle accounts with you. Your false information has nearly gotten my friend into trouble multiple times."

Uncle Chai's eyebrows knit together.

After hesitating a moment, he sat down, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Young man, why are you so determined to find Ghost Immortal Cave?"

"It might contain something I'm looking for," Qin Feng said.

"Oh?"

Uncle Chai looked up and asked again, "I heard that in Ghost Immortal Cave, there are only divine weapons. Are you looking for a weapon?"

"No," Qin Feng shook his head.

Hearing this, a barely noticeable fierce expression flashed across Uncle Chai's face as he asked again, "Then what are you looking for?"

"Crystal Stone."

As Qin Feng spoke, he stared straight into Uncle Chai's eyes.

Sure enough!

Upon hearing the words 'Crystal Stone,' Uncle Chai's pupils showed a strange reaction!

But he insisted, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"You do know!"

Qin Feng continued to stare into his eyes, saying, "There are rumors that gathering the Energy Baryte can open the 'Kunlun Mist Cloud', which is exactly what I've come for! As for the other things in Ghost Immortal Cave, I am not particularly interested. If you give me the Crystal Stone, I will stop searching for Ghost Immortal Cave."

"Sorry, I don't know any Crystal Stone!"

Uncle Chai waved his hand.

But from the subtle changes in his eyes, Qin Feng knew the Energy Baryte was indeed in the Ghost Immortal Cave!

"If that's the case, then I won't trouble you any further," Qin Feng stood up, "My long-standing question has been whether the object I'm searching for is in Ghost Immortal Cave, and judging by your expression, it must be there. Knowing this answer, that's enough for me."

"You think you can find it?" Uncle Chai questioned.

Qin Feng produced the Heavenly Map Fragment and said, "I believe this indicates Ghost Immortal Cave's location."

Upon glancing at the Heavenly Map, Uncle Chai's complexion drastically changed, "You, you actually have this 'fragment'!!"

"Actually, I already found it."

Qin Feng said with a corner-smile, "I was just confirming with you whether this place is indeed Ghost Immortal Cave, or the location of what I'm looking for, and it seems to be both."

Uncle Chai's eyebrows were tightly knotted, his eyes full of worry.

"Ghost Immortal Cave is right..."

Qin Feng lifted his finger and pointed around, "He is right at your doorstep..."

His finger moved slowly.

When it moved to a position in front of the main entrance, he observed a sudden twitch in Uncle Chai's eyes.

Although it was very slight.

But he still felt it!

"That's the direction, then."

A sly smile curved the corners of Qin Feng's mouth.

That's right.

He didn't actually know the exact location; he had taken out the Heavenly Map Fragment just to scare Uncle Chai. Judging from the change in Uncle Chai's expression, the direction was right in front of his main entrance!

At this moment.

Uncle Chai also realized something was amiss and frowned, saying, "Are you deceiving me?"

"Whether it's a deceit or not, in any case, I know the direction now, thank you," Qin Feng responded with a smile, folding up the Heavenly Map Fragment.

Seeing this, Uncle Chai immediately blocked him, shouting, "Kid, I definitely won't let you go!"

"Do you think you can stop me?"

Qin Feng said.

Hearing this, Uncle Chai's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Just now he had almost struck Yiyi with a palm, but it was firmly blocked by Qin Feng. At that moment, the outcome was already decided: he couldn't stop Qin Feng!

He was very clear about this in his heart, which is why he had stopped the fight from going any further.

After a moment of silence.

Uncle Chai's eyes grew sharper, staring at Qin Feng and said, "I don't know who you are, or maybe you are stronger than me, but I will fight to the death to prevent anyone from finding Ghost Immortal Cave!"

With that said. Enjoy the story by reading on *.

He emitted a very strong aura, giving off an air of determination to guard even at the cost of his life!

"Even if it means death, I will protect it!!"

He bent his knees, raised his palms, ready to confront death.

Qin Feng was surprised for a moment, saying, "Uncle Chai, I see you're not a greedy person, why do you guard Ghost Immortal Cave?"

"By now, there's no harm in speaking more," Uncle Chai said, "I am the heir to the Ghost Immortal of Ghost Immortal Cave!"

"Oh?"

Qin Feng grew even more curious, "But then, why do you live here, in a place that isn't Ghost Immortal Cave?"

"Ghost Immortal Cave has been sealed for over a hundred years," Uncle Chai heaved a sigh, "Have you heard of the 'Ksitigarbha Demon'?"

"Ksitigarbha Demon?"

Qin Feng was astonished.

Back when he was at Dragon and Tiger Village, he used to listen to stories told by a retired old monk in the backyard of Dragon Zen Temple at the east end of the village.

Among those stories, there was mention of the Ksitigarbha Demon.

It was said that the Ksitigarbha Demon was very powerful, possessing the power to destroy a city instantly, immensely strong.

At that time, the whole Cultivation World trembled at the mention of it.

It was also the appearance of the Ksitigarbha Demon that resulted in the decline of talents in today's Cultivation World, nowhere near the glory of a hundred years before.

Because a century ago, to confront the Ksitigarbha Demon, many of the world's top powerhouses died.

"The person who sealed the Ksitigarbha Demon back then was 'Shuiyun Immortal'. Do you know how she sealed it?" Uncle Chai explained, "She set up the 'Seven Stars Formation', chose seven places, and used the power of the Earth Vein to seal the Ksitigarbha Demon underground."

"Seven Stars Formation? Seven places?"

Qin Feng seemed to think of something.

"That's right."

Uncle Chai continued, "The Energy Baryte you seek is the source of power for the 'Seven Stars Formation'. If all the Energy Baryte is taken away, the power of the Great Formation will fade, and the Ksitigarbha Demon will emerge once again. At that point, this world will be plunged into misery once more! Ghost Immortal Cave is one of the locations of the Seven Stars Formation. So, do you understand why I guard it?"

Upon hearing this.

Qin Feng finally realized, so the Energy Baryte that everyone has been searching for is the treasure for suppressing and sealing the Ksitigarbha Demon!
