Yunyao and Ji Tianxing rode on the spirit crane and flew high up in the sky, heading straight for the northwest direction.
Ji Tianxing thought of a crucial question. He had some doubts and asked Yunyao.
"Eldest Senior Sister, the Devil Race took Ji Ling's body. Could they have escaped from the Star Ancient Realm?"
Yun Yao shook her head and explained, "The Star Ancient Realm is an independent space that has always been guarded by our sect. Even the Devil Race's experts can't enter and leave as they please.
"In the past hundred years, the Devil Race's experts have infiltrated our sect several times. Therefore, Master suspects that the Devil Race has always been hiding in the Star Ancient Realm, waiting for an opportunity to make a move. "
Ji Tianxing nodded and said in a serious tone, "So that's the case! The Star Ancient Realm is rich in spiritual energy and resources. Since the Devil Race is hiding in the Star Ancient Realm, they don't lack cultivation resources.
"Moreover, the Star Ancient Realm is vast. If the Devil Race is hiding there, it will be extremely difficult to find them."
Yun Yao continued, "The Devil Race's headquarters is very far from here. After they took Ji Ling's body, they had to use a secret technique to extract Ji Ling's soul within a few days.
"After seven days, Ji Ling's soul will dissipate from the world. Therefore, the Devil Race must be hiding in the Star Ancient Realm to extract Ji Ling's soul as soon as possible. "
Because of this, Yun Yao was sure that the Devil Race was hiding somewhere in the Star Ancient Realm.
After listening to her explanation, Ji Tianxing's doubts were dispelled and he didn't ask about it anymore.
Very quickly, two hours passed.
The spirit crane carried Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao for four hundred miles and entered a boundless mountain range.
Looking down from high up in the sky, one could see towering mountain peaks of different heights closely linked together, and a sea of dark green forests covered the tall mountains.
In the mountains and forests, there were many traces of demonic beast activity. From time to time, roars of beasts could be heard from the depths of the mountain range.
Ji Tianxing even saw with his own eyes that there was a huge grey eagle circling in the sky above the mountains in the distance.
The gray eagle demon beast seemed to have found its prey. It suddenly swooped down from the sky and drilled into the lush mountains.
The next moment, the huge gray eagle flew back into the sky with a blood-stained black bear in its mouth. It quickly disappeared into the distance.
Ji Tianxing had never seen such a shocking scene before.
A vast and boundless aura surged toward him, making him deeply feel the vastness and mysteriousness of the Ancient Realm of the Stars.
At this moment, Yun Yao let the spirit crane land on the peak of a mountain.
After waiting for a while, Bai Wuchen rode his Silver Moon Wolf to the top of the mountain and stopped in front of them.
"Junior Bai, use the Mysterious Pagoda to check again," Yun Yao instructed calmly.
Bai Wuchen nodded. He quickly took out the Arcanum Pagoda and activated the pagoda's array.
Ji Tianxing also forced out another drop of blood essence and dripped it into the Xuan Ji Pagoda.
The octagonal top of the Xuan Ji Pagoda spun rapidly, releasing a dazzling golden light with a hint of blood-red.
Not long after, the top of the octagonal pagoda gradually stopped spinning.
One of the corners was blood-red. It was still pointing in the northwest direction, but the direction was slightly off from before.
Bai Wuchen carefully observed for a moment. He then used a secret technique to sense the aura of the Mysterious Pagoda.
After sensing the specific result, he said to Yun Yao, "Senior Sister, we're closer to the target. The Mysterious Pagoda's reaction is also clearer."
"According to my judgment, Ji Ling's body should be in the northwest direction. It should be around 600 miles away from us."
Yun Yao nodded and said in a low voice, "Alright, let's not delay any longer. We'll hurry over!"
After that, Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing jumped onto the spirit crane's back and continued rushing toward the northwest.
Bai Wuchen also rode on his Silver Moon Wolf and rushed down the mountain peak like the wind. They hurried over the mountains and ridges.
For the next four hours, the three of them did not stop.
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing rode on the spirit crane and flew in the sky. Not only was the speed extremely fast, but it was also very safe.
Even though the surrounding 800 miles were vast mountains with endless demonic beasts, they did not dare to attack the spirit crane.
Bai Wuchen, on the other hand, was unlucky. While riding on his Silver Moon Wolf, he was constantly attacked and chased by groups of demonic beasts.
There were a few times when he was surrounded by a group of demonic beasts. He had to fight a bloody battle to break out of the encirclement.
However, Bai Wuchen was indeed an elite genius of the Sky Pillar Sect. Even though he fought a few times along the way, he was not injured.
After four hours, Ji Tianxing and the other two also stopped rushing.
The spirit crane landed on the peak of a 3,000-meter-tall mountain. Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing jumped off the spirit crane's back and stood in the forest on the mountain peak to wait.
After a while, Bai Wuchen also rode on his Silver Moon Wolf to the mountain peak and came before the two of them.
Bai Wuchen's white robe was already stained with blood. It was a ghastly sight.
Of course, this was the blood of demonic beasts.
Yun Yao looked at Bai Wuchen and said with a solemn expression, "Junior Brother Bai, according to the results of your previous investigation, Ji Ling's corpse should be around here."
Bai Wuchen nodded and took out the Mysterious Pagoda again. "Eldest Senior Sister, let me investigate again. This time, I should be able to determine the exact location of the target."
After saying that, he activated the formation of the Mysterious Pagoda and began to investigate.
Ji Tianxing frowned slightly. He cut his finger again and forced out a drop of blood essence, dripping it into the Mysterious Pagoda.
The Mysterious Pagoda spun rapidly, emitting a dazzling golden light. It released an invisible mysterious energy that surged into the dark sky.
After a while, the Mysterious Pagoda pointed out the direction. Bai Wuchen used a Mysterious Dao secret technique to sense it and obtained the specific result.
He looked ahead with a burning gaze and pointed at a towering dark green mountain peak. He said solemnly, "Eldest Senior Sister, Ji Ling's corpse is in that mountain."
"Also, I used the Mysterious Pagoda to sense the aura of the demons. There's more than one demon in that mountain. It's very likely that it's a temporary stronghold of the demons!"
Yun Yao frowned slightly. After thinking for a while, she said, "To avoid alerting the demons, we'll leave the spirit crane and the Silvermoon Wolf here. We'll sneak into that mountain and search."
The spirit crane and the Silvermoon Wolf were too big. Moreover, the demons would sense their aura and easily expose their whereabouts.
Leaving the two spirit beasts at the peak of the mountain was, of course, the wisest decision. Bai Wuchen had no objections.
After that, Yun Yao led Ji Tianxing and Bai Wuchen toward the mountain at lightning speed.
The two mountains did not seem far apart, but there was a huge canyon between them that was dozens of miles away.
After a full hour, the three of them entered the towering mountain.
The three of them shuttled through the dense forest. Yun Yao and Bai Wuchen used their spiritual senses to search for the aura of the demons.
Ji Tianxing had not reached the Mystic Enlightening Realm, so he did not have a spiritual sense. However, he was still observing the surroundings with his sharp eyes, hoping to find some clues.
After shuttling through the forest for 15 minutes, he sensed a problem.
The entire mountain was dead silent. There were no traces of demon beasts, nor were there any roars.
This mountain that seemed to be full of vitality and lush with forest seemed to be emitting a cold aura of death.
