Back when Zhang Ruochen had been reading scrolls about Kunlun’s Field in the Book Fragrance Library, he’d seen through the bookshelf a pair of eyes that left a deep impression. However, she hadn’t seemed to want to interact with him at all back then. She’d put down the book and vanished.
 

Now, seeing Ji Fanxin’s spirited eyes, Zhang Ruochen immediately recognized that the woman who’d read about the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was her.
 

Zhang Ruochen was still quite composed, so he calmed down quickly. Various questions rose up within him.
 

After a pause, Zhang Ruochen took the lead and asked,
What does this have to do with the Thousand Pistil Field?

 

Other cultivators all tried to kiss up to Ji Fanxin or pretend to be gentlemanly. They tried their best to find a chance and get closer to her. However, Zhang Ruochen’s eyes were natural and even seemed guarded against her. His question went straight to the point too.
 

Ji Fanxin felt more relaxed interacting with someone like him.
 


This isn’t the place to speak. Come with me.

 

Ji Fanxin’s body scattered into a rain of light. Then the specks of light vanished completely before Zhang Ruochen.
 

He was taken aback, but he quickly smiled. Sniffing softly, he followed Ji Fanxin’s light fragrance and walked out of the Heavenly Capital Saint Market. He reached the edge of Heavenly Capital Mountain.
 

Heavenly Capital Mountain was a hovering saint mountain. Standing at the edge was like standing at the side of a bottomless cliff. Before him was a vast sea of clouds. Above him were countless dazzling stars.
 

The surroundings were silent. It seemed that very few cultivators would come here.
 

Zhang Ruochen stopped. Looking at the sea of clouds and stars, he couldn’t help but praise,
I didn’t think that I could see such a beautiful sight at Heavenly Capital Mountain.

 


The beautiful scene is only the appearance. Who knows what ugly truth is hidden under the thick clouds?

 

A rain of light appeared out of thin air and reformed Ji Fanxin’s beautiful figure.
 

She’d used an unknown tactic earlier to disappear without a trace. Zhang Ruochen couldn’t sense her even with spatial power. If she hadn’t purposely left behind a scent, Zhang Ruochen might not have been able to follow her here.
 

He couldn’t figure it out, but he didn’t ask.
 

After all, Ji Fanxin was able to be the leader of a strong world. It was normal for her to have extraordinary tactics.
 

She wouldn’t tell others about her hidden cards.
 

Ji Fanxin wore a veil and only revealed a pair of sparkling eyes. She was as beautiful as a fairy under the starlight.
The Yin and Yang Palace is ruled by the Evil Way cultivators of three worlds. They use their powerful forces and cruel ways to capture beautiful girls from the various worlds. They use the girls as objects, slaves, and prostitutes to sell in exchange for saint stones and benefits.
 


Many prides of the Thousand Pistil Field have been captured and imprisoned in the Yin and Yang Palace. They’re turned into tools for those demons to make money.

 


You’ve been to the Yin and Yang Palace?
Zhang Ruochen asked.
 

Ji Fanxin shook her head.
No.

 


Then, how do you know that the prides of the Thousand Pistil Field are imprisoned there?

 

Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe that any man in the world would tell Ji Fanxin that they’d gone to the Yin and Yang Palace, so he asked out of curiosity.
 


Follow me.

 

Ji Fanxin jumped off of the Heavenly Capital Mountain and disappeared in the sea of clouds.
 

Zhang Ruochen unfurled his dragon wings and chased quickly. He flew in the clouds for a long while before finally landing on the ground. He stood at the edge of a ditch with thousands of corpses.
 

They were all female corpses.
 

They included women from every race—human, fox, snake, dragon, Luosha, Immortal Vampires and more. Some had already decayed; others were still complete. Their bodies were uncovered and ravaged as if they’d suffered inhuman torture before death.
 

Zhang Ruochen covered his nose, not wanting to smell that sharp odor.
These corpses?

 


All from the Yin and Yang Palace.
Ji Fanxin’s eyes were sad yet cold.
The corpses of the girls who disappeared from the Thousand Pistil Field can be found here.

 

There was a formation outside the thousand-corpse ditch, but Ji Fanxin had used her inscrutable Spiritual Power to open a crack in the formation. This was how she and Zhang Ruochen could enter.
 

Otherwise, other cultivators might not discover the ditch even if they were close by, let alone break in.
 

But Zhang Ruochen was still doubtful.
Why doesn’t the Yin and Yang Palace destroy all these corpses? There isn’t any advantage in leaving them here, right?

 


These girls were at least Half-Saints when they were alive,
Ji Fanxin said.
Many were even Saints. Their physical bodies are so strong. How can they decay so quickly?

 


It does seem to be a problem.

 

Zhang Ruochen opened his Heavenly Eyes and looked at the corpse ditch again. He finally sensed something wrong. Holy Qi and Blood Qi kept spreading out of the corpses and converging at the bottom of the ditch.
 

It was like…something was swallowing up the last bit of value that they had.
 


What is that?

 

Zhang Ruochen reached out a hand and grabbed in the air. He wanted to see what secret was in the bottom of the ditch.
 


Don’t move.
Ji Fanxin stopped Zhang Ruochen.
One Evil Way figure of the Yin and Yang Palace is using their remaining power and Blood Qi to refine a very evil weapon.

 


In that case, why not take away the weapon and destroy this place?

 


If we destroy this, they’ll only try harder. They’ll kill more girls and create another thousand-corpse ditch elsewhere. Plus, if we take away the weapon now, it’ll alarm them.

 

Zhang Ruochen thought for a long while. Then he pulled his saintly power back and said,
No, no. Since these girls are the money-makers of the Yin and Yang Palace, they’re either sold or used to serve the male cultivators. How could they turn into corpses and be abandoned here to refine that weapon?

 

Ji Fanxin clearly didn’t know either.
Perhaps we’ll only know if we search the Yin and Yang Palace.

 

Zhang Ruochen walked to a more recent corpse in the ditch. He pressed a finger to the corpse’s right wrist and fell silent.
 

Then he walked to another corpse and checked her closely too.
 

He checked a dozen corpses of different races before finally stopping.
I know the reason!

 


What is it?
Ji Fanxin asked.
 


Their Yin Qi has been emptied completely,
Zhang Ruochen said seriously.
They must’ve died from the exhaustion of yin.

 


What does that mean?
Ji Fanxin asked curiously.
 

Seeing her otherworldly and goddess-like features, Zhang Ruochen was suddenly at a loss for words. He didn’t know how to explain.
 

If the Deities and others who pursued her knew that Zhang Ruochen was going to tell the pure Fairy Baihua about the exhaustion of yin, they would probably bring a group of strong cultivators to beat him up.
 

Ji Fanxin stared at Zhang Ruochen.
If you keep a secret from me, I’ll definitely keep secrets from you too. This doesn’t help anyone.

 


Okay, I’ll tell you. The so-called exhaustion of yin is when a woman continues to have sex with men and goes against the limit. They use up all the yin in them and die.

 

Because of the Emotion Pill, Zhang Ruochen couldn’t really control his emotions. When he said these words, he actually leered and studied Ji Fanxin closely.
 


Shameless.

 

Ji Fanxin shot a cold look at him and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the edge of the corpse.
 


So unlucky. This side effect can happen at any time but just had to affect me now.

 

Zhang Ruochen was embarrassed and felt humiliated. He rubbed his face and chased after Ji Fanxin when he recovered.
 

Ji Fanxin had returned to the edge of Heavenly Capital Mountain. She didn’t leave in anger and seemed to have been waiting for Zhang Ruochen.
 


Sorry, I… It was the side effect of the Emotion Pill.
Zhang Ruochen was at the edge of the cliff. He looked awkward.
 

Ji Fanxin’s unique aura was like an orchid. She was extremely calm and serene. Putting distance between her and Zhang Ruochen, she said,
It’s okay, it’s not important. After all, we’re not close and won’t have any deep exchanges.

 

Zhang Ruochen could tell that the gap between him and the Baihua Fairy was getting larger. He was frustrated. Clearly, she’d been the one who wanted to know. How come it seemed like she’d gotten offended?
 

Zhang Ruochen believed that he hadn’t teased or blasphemed her.
 

After a long silence, Zhang Ruochen saw that Ji Fanxin didn’t plan on speaking, so he asked,
I’m curious. With your cultivation and abilities, why don’t you break into the Yin and Yang Palace and save those girls of the Thousand Pistil Field? Plus, you have so many pursuers. If you just ask or give them some rewards, they’ll attack the Yin and Yang Palace immediately.

 


It’s not that easy.

 

Ji Fanxin shook her head and continued,
The interests behind the Yin and Yang Palace are very complicated. Not only does it pertain to the direct disciples of the Truth Godly Palace, it even involves some terrible forces. Those Deities aren’t idiots. If you ask them to attack the Yin and Yang Palace, they’ll definitely compare the pros and cons first.

 



So, they’re too scared?
Zhang Ruochen asked.
 

Ji Fanxin fell silent. She didn’t reply to Zhang Ruochen, because even she had weighed the pros and cons for a long time and still hadn’t done anything. Even she was intimidated by the Yin and Yang Palace’s own power and the forces behind it. She didn’t dare to act impulsively.
 

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes brightened.
I got it! Actually, you don’t dare to attack the Yin and Yang Palace either, so you found me. You know that if there’s someone in the entire Truth Heavenly Domain that dares to break into the Yin and Yang Palace, it would be Zhang Ruochen, number one on the Saints Merits Rank.
