"Spirit Beast Sect?" Yan Fang was startled.

Back then, he indeed stayed at the Spirit Beast Sect, but later he was expelled.

Recalling that Ye Guichen might have obtained his storage ring, which contained records of his identity, Yan Fang resignedly nodded: "Yes, I did spend some time at the Spirit Beast Sect, but later I went to many other sects, including esteemed sects like the Xuantian Sect. However, I didn’t stay long at any of these sects."

"Alright, I don’t care where else you’ve been, but take a look, where is this place?" Ye Guichen raised his hand and pointed around.

Just now, Yan Fang was only focused on escaping and hadn’t even looked at his surroundings.

At this moment, hearing Ye Guichen’s words, he couldn’t help but look up.

Upon taking a look, Yan Fang felt a familiar sensation.

"This, this is the Spirit Beast Sect’s back mountain, the Yin Dragon Pond, this, this is actually the Yin Dragon Pond." Yan Fang’s expression became increasingly shocked, as if he’d seen something terrifying, suddenly raising his head: "How did you come here? This Yin Dragon Pond is rumored to have a Jiao Dragon’s Yin Soul that specifically devours the souls of demon beasts. Quick, leave immediately; if it finds us, we’re doomed!"

Ye Guichen’s eyes gleamed brightly: "You actually know this place?"

Originally, Ye Guichen only held a try-it-and-see mentality, never expecting Yan Fang to actually know such a place.

Yan Fang’s voice was already trembling: "Of course I know, when I joined the Spirit Beast Sect, it was because I heard that there was some treasure here. But after staying in the Spirit Beast Sect for three months, without even learning the basics of beast mastery, I was kicked out by them. However, during those three months, although I didn’t learn any beast mastery techniques, I learned many secrets about the Spirit Beast Sect. Especially this Yin Dragon Pond, it is said to have existed before the Spirit Beast Sect was established. But the Spirit Beast Sect regards it as a forbidden area, never allowing their disciples to enter."

"No, how come you’re here? Could it be, that the Jiao Dragon’s Yin Soul has emerged?"

Yan Fang thought of a possibility and quickly turned his head toward the direction of the lake.

The disordered corpses of demon beasts caught Yan Fang’s sight.

Yan Fang became increasingly terrified: "Quickly leave, don’t stay any longer! What are you waiting for?"

Ye Guichen basically understood.

It seems, if guessed correctly, the so-called treasure here should be related to the Jiao Dragon’s soul.

But what surprised Ye Guichen was that there was really a Jiao Dragon in this world.

Although it’s just a Jiao, not a real dragon, it shouldn’t be underestimated compared to a Ninth-Order Demon Beast.

According to the Demon Chronicles, the highest level for demon beasts is the ninth order, above which their Spiritual Sense would fully open, becoming as intelligent as humans.

Moreover, their original demon bodies would also be elevated, not only able to cultivate by devouring the inner cores of demon beasts but also by absorbing Spiritual Energy from the world.

At this stage, demon beasts can no longer be called demon beasts but can be termed spirit beasts.

Once becoming a spirit beast, they have the chance to completely transform into humans, escape their beast fate, and even if fortunate, they may become devil cultivators.

Of course, this transformation of spirit beasts is different from the half-human, half-demon with Demon Clan bloodline.

Those with a Demon Clan bloodline are essentially still human, only able to partially transform into demon form because of the Demon Clan bloodline, possessing part of the Demon Clan’s power.

However, their combat strength is not comparable to spirit beasts.

Even possessing Demon Clan bloodline, they cannot evolve, their cultivation has a ceiling; reaching the ninth order of a demon beast may be the pinnacle, and once activating Demon Clan bloodline, they can never transform into true humans.

In other words, they can’t cultivate to the level of a spirit beast.

Ye Guichen recalled some records from the Demon Chronicles in his mind.

Among them was a record of a Jiao Dragon.

It described that a Jiao Dragon was formed from a Snake Demon, once a Snake Demon advanced to the level of a Ninth-Order Demon Beast, under certain great fortunes, it would grow four legs, transform into a Jiao, thus evolving into a spirit beast, becoming a Jiao Dragon.

Of course, though the Jiao Dragon carries the word "dragon," it is vastly different from a true dragon.

Yet, even so, it is an extremely terrifying existence in the world, not something Ye Guichen could contend with.

But from Yan Fang’s words, there isn’t a full Jiao Dragon here, only its soul.

Could there be something here capable of killing a Jiao Dragon? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Thinking of this possibility, Ye Guichen couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.

If there truly exists something terrifying enough to kill a Jiao Dragon, what kind of terrifying existence must it be?

Could it even be an Immortal?

"Yan Fang, how do you know so much? Since the Jiao Dragon’s soul has existed here for so long, why hasn’t it left? Also, do you know who killed the Jiao Dragon back then?"

Ye Guichen asked these series of questions.

When asking this, Ye Guichen’s breath became a bit heavy.

The remaining spirit of a Jiao Dragon might not possess much combat power, even if it’s that of a spirit beast, it would merely be akin to a Ninth-Order Demon Beast, which Ye Guichen was not worried about.

Even though that tree was a bit strange, Ye Guichen thought it wouldn’t be easy for anyone here to hold him back.

But if there were a master capable of slaying a Jiao Dragon here, it might require careful planning.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fang, seeing Ye Guichen had no intention of leaving, hurriedly said trembling: "I am not clear why the Jiao Dragon appears here. Maybe due to some reason preventing its departure from this area, but one thing is certain. The people of the Spirit Beast Sect have always wanted to subdue this Jiao Dragon’s soul, yet for many years, they have never succeeded."
