The old man's figure slowly disappeared, and Ji Fan knew that he had completely disappeared from this world.

Ji Fan heard the movement behind him and turned around to see that it was Zheng Hu who had fainted and woke up.

"Why did we faint?" Zheng Hu looked at Ji Fan in front of him blankly and asked.

"Stop talking about this now, take Xu Ying with you and let's get out of here quickly!" Ji Fan looked at Zheng Hu who looked confused and pointed to the passage on the opposite wall.

He didn't intend to answer Zheng Hu's question. He couldn't say that there was an old man hidden in the sword and opened the passage for him!

Zheng Hu came to the passage and murmured, "This should be a stone wall. How could this passage appear out of nowhere?" At the same time, he looked warily at Ji Fan and Xu Ying on Ji Fan's shoulders.

, but he focused more on the sword in Ji Fan's hand. He saw the scene of Wuming absorbing the thunder, and he vaguely felt that the passage was probably pierced by the sword.

However, he immediately shook his head and stabbed such a passage with his sword. What kind of strength should that be?

Ji Fan ignored him and walked ahead. He had to leave this ghost place quickly. The old man's sword light pierced the earth's crust, and there must be a lot of movement. If it was discovered by some spiritual beasts, or happened to find this passage

, blocking the door, then the three of them will be in a lot of trouble.

"Let's leave here first," Ji Fan looked back at Zheng Hu, who was stunned on the spot, "We are not out of danger yet."

Zheng Hu woke up and quickly followed Ji Fan. He felt that all this was related to Ji Fan. It was a good thing that Ji Fan had the strength to take them away. He vaguely felt that Ji Fan had a secret, but that was not something he should know.

At this time, Zheng Hu thought of the thunder pool, but he shook his head helplessly. Is it really something he can get his hands on? Even if he uses the thunder in the pool to temper his body, it will have no effect on him.

.The most important thing now is, as Ji Fan said, get out of this ghost place as soon as possible.

The three of them walked along the smooth, dark passage to the entrance of the cave.

Ji Fan hesitated for a moment, and after carefully investigating for a while, he nodded and signaled to the two of them: It's safe outside, come out quickly.

Xu Ying woke up halfway through the passage, but due to lack of concentration, she fell down in the passage and sprained her foot. With Zheng Hu's help, she walked out.

"Can you check our location?" Ji Fan took Xu Ying and looked at Zheng Hu.

Zheng Hu looked around and pointed to the southeast, "We should be in the northeast of the Thunder Three-Eyed Lion Valley. If we walk southeast for a few hours, we should be able to see the walls of Spirit Beast City."

"Be careful, we are still in the spirit beast forest after all!" Ji Fan looked at Zheng Hu, then glanced at Xu Ying, "Can I leave?"

Xu Ying shook her head. Although she had escaped at this time, the little girl was still unwilling to speak more, as if the shadow in her heart had not dissipated.

Ji Fan had no choice but to carry her on his back.

Xu Ying was also very well-behaved, burying her head on Ji Fan's shoulder and not complaining about the bumps along the way, which made Ji Fan very happy.

The three of them were very lucky. They met a mercenary team on the way, and the other party also knew Zheng Hu. After Zheng Hu and captain Xu Feng explained Xu Ying's identity, they agreed to return to Spirit Beast City with the team.

The three of them joined the mercenary team, and Ji Fan immediately felt that all the mercenaries were looking towards him.

"It's all because of Miss Xu Ying." The mercenary captain came to Ji Fan and handed them some food and water.

"I am the captain of the mercenary team, Xu Feng, and I have some friendship with Zheng Hu. I'm sorry about the news that the Scarlet Mercenary Team was completely wiped out."

Ji Fan nodded, "Isn't this often the case in your line of work?"

"And Captain Wang Kan might still be alive."

Ji Fan took the food and water. He kept a small portion and gave the rest to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying also took it. At this time, the little girl was exhausted physically and mentally. There was something that could help her recover faster.

After hearing Ji Fan's words, Xu Feng fell into thinking, and then sighed, "But as a mercenary captain, even if he can return to Spirit Beast City, it will be difficult to find a place to stay!"

"Why? If the mission fails, there will be no place for him?"

Xu Feng sighed, "Of course you don't know about the mercenary group. Once the mission fails, there is no chance to make amends. There are only one young man left among the four young people in the Xu family. Do you think the Xu family will let him go?"

Ji Fan understood what Xu Feng meant. Three Spiritual Rain cultivators led forty or fifty mercenaries. Such a lineup should have been able to complete the task of body tempering easily, but in the end there were only a few people.

Walked out.

No matter what the reason is, it cannot cover up the fact that this mission failed, and as the captain, Wang Kan needs to bear most of the responsibility.

His survival would most likely be criticized as an escape, but Ji Fan knew that Wang Kan had actually tried his best. But the appearance of the Ice Wolf changed everything.

Thinking of this, Ji Fan felt a little lonely. Wang Kan had a good impression on him. He still remembered that this guy said that if this mission was completed, he could change careers and find a position in the Xu family. But now, all this has come to nothing.

Xu Ying heard the conversation between the two and lowered her eyes. She was not too young and knew some things. She naturally knew that they were talking about the mercenary captain with a scar on his face.

"Okay, let's rest for a while and we'll be on our way." Xu Feng stood up from Ji Fan.

Ji Fan left those tedious things behind, simply ate, drank water, and followed Xu Feng's mercenary team to Spirit Beast City.

Perhaps it was because the mercenary team had a large number of people, or maybe it was because there were no powerful spiritual beasts outside the spirit beast forest. There was basically no obstruction along the way. The three of them crossed the city wall and separated from Xu Feng's mercenary team.

"Zheng Hu, please send Xu Ying back to the Xu family! I know very little about the families in the city, and I don't know the location of the Xu family." Ji Fan glanced at Zheng Hu, saw him nodded, and then came to Xu Ying

"Take care of yourself."

"Do we still have a chance to meet again?" Seeing Ji Fan was about to leave, Xu Ying hurriedly grabbed Ji Fan's clothes. She had a really good impression of Ji Fan.

"Yes, I will certainly do it." Ji Fan smiled.

Xu Ying knew that she could not keep Ji Fan, so she had no choice but to let Ji Fan leave.

Ji Fan said goodbye to the two of them and walked to the previous inn. It had been three days since he left, and he didn't know if Xiao Jian was still in the inn. Tomorrow is the Spiritual Beast Festival, and Ji Fan wanted to take advantage of tonight to investigate this place.

After a few days of harvest, he was trying to see if he could break through to the late stage of the Lingshan Realm. The battle with the Icefield Demon Wolf and the Thunder Three-Eyed Lion gave him a lot of experience, and he faintly touched a higher threshold. Sure enough, fighting is the most powerful thing.

Ways to increase your cultivation.

After walking through the central city for more than an hour, Ji Fan arrived at the inn he stayed at. As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he heard a familiar voice.

"Tomorrow is the Spiritual Beast Festival, and I want to see him now!"
