Ding Lu remained the same, still very thin, and expressionless, but when he saw Ji Jiayu, he revealed a look of surprise.

"Jiayu!"

He merely shouted, then suddenly covered his mouth, then ducked to the door, looking left and right before closing the door.

Normally, Ji Jiayu's first reaction would have been to ask Ding Lu what was wrong, but he subconsciously released his spiritual power and sensed Ding Lu's surroundings.

On Ding Lu's body, he sensed a familiar scent, the scent of a demon. Although the scent was very light, as the owner of the Holy Light Pearl, he still sensed it.

"How could he smell like a demon? Even if it was contaminated in the Holy City, it would disappear after three months, right?" Ji Jiayu turned his head and glanced at Nie Lanxi.

Nie Lanxi's expression was calm, but the divine power in his body surged.

Ji Jiayu shook his hand at Nie Lanxi without a trace, signaling her not to be impulsive, but he didn't let his guard down.

"Why are you here?" After Ding Lu closed the door, he asked a little nervously, "Do you know how many people want to kill you right now?"

"I know," Ji Jiayu said, "But it can't be helped. I can't hide all the time, right?"

"That's the truth, but unfortunately..." Ding Lu sighed.

"Don't worry, I know it in my heart." Ji Jiayu put his arm around Ding Lu's shoulder, walked into the living room first, greeted Ding Lu and Nie Lanxi, and then led him into the kitchen.

"Oh, rare guest, what brought you here today?" Ye Zihang felt a little unhappy, and he spoke in a strange manner.

"I came here today for business." Ding Lu didn't seem to hear Ye Zihang's tone.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zihang immediately replied.

"I just received news that a serial killer who has killed many people around Qiming City in the past six months is going to kill again," Ding Lu said.

"Serial killer?" When Ji Jiayu heard this, he immediately turned to look at Nie Lanxi. Is that a coincidence?

"How do you know this kind of news? What are you doing?" Ye Zihang frowned and asked.

Ji Jiayu also looked at Ding Lu.

Ding Lu was silent for a moment, then shook his head again, and said, "I signed a confidentiality agreement, I can't say anything, but I promise you both that I won't do anything bad."

"Don't say whether you did it or not, be careful!" Ye Zihang said as he cooked.

"I know it in my heart," Ding Lu said. He thought to himself: I have to go back to find my sister, I can't die.

Ji Jiayu stood aside, pursed her lips, and looked at Ding Lu, feeling a little complicated. While the three of them chatted, Ye Zihang made dinner.

It must be said that Ye Zihang was a glutton, but he was also very talented at cooking. Even if he didn't have any talent for cultivation, he probably wouldn't starve to death just by relying on his cooking skills.

Ji Jiayu, Nie Lanxi, and Ding Lu all ate very happily, especially Nie Lanxi. Ji Jiayu had already seen through it, despite Nie Lanxi's indifference. On the surface, he seemed uninterested in anything, and his enthusiasm for eating was still very high!

After dinner, the three of them chatted in the living room, mainly discussing their recent lives, cultivation issues, and life goals for the next period.

The three of them weren't very old, and they had nothing to talk about while chatting, so Ji Jiayu and Ding Lu both proposed leaving first. After all, everyone was in Qiming City afterward, and they had time to walk around.

Ding Lu's house was in another building thirty meters away, so after leaving Ye Zihang's house, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi immediately separated from Ding Lu.

They boarded a public dragon carriage back to the hotel in the city center. But after not going far, Ji Jiayu pulled Nie Lanxi out of the car and returned to Jiaxing Street.

Although Jiaxing Street was recently built, there weren't many people on it. They were all recently failed candidates sent by Camp No. 1, Ji Jiayu's group of selectors.

Ji Jiayu walked past, his spiritual power surging out of his body, like a swimming snake swallowing and spitting out a snake's essence, sensing an abnormal phenomenon.

He wanted to see if there were any signs of residual demonic energy, whether the many failed candidates who had experienced the chaos in the Holy City had it. However, the reality made his heart sink, as it wasn't like that.

He didn't sense any demonic energy from the failed candidates in Camp 1 throughout the entire street.

"Ding Lu, he..." Ji Jiayu had an ominous premonition.

He hesitated for a moment and decided to try again tomorrow during the day. There were few people at night and many during the day. What if there were only a few people with residual demonic energy? After all, Ding Lu had entered the forbidden land of the gods.

Thinking of this, Ji Jiayu had an idea: Should he look for the other failed candidates who had entered the forbidden land and see their situation before drawing any conclusions?

After this thought turned over and over in his mind several times, Ji Jiayu didn't hesitate too much and knocked on Ye Hang's door again.

Seeing Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi at the door, Ye Zihang was clearly a little surprised, but Ji Jiayu got straight to the point with a serious face and said, "I want to know where the twenty or so voters who have entered the forbidden grounds are now."

"What's wrong? Is it because of Ding Lu?" Ye Zihang saw that Ji Jiayu was so serious, and his expression immediately changed.

"Hmm," Ji Jiayu said, "I didn't want to tell you too much, so as not to cause you trouble, but that's really wrong."

"I've had a feeling for a long time. He's mysterious every day, and he has something on his mind." Ye Zihang sighed, "Forget it. I'll tell you their address first, but I only have a rough idea. Luckily, I'm quite familiar with them, otherwise, things would have been troublesome."

As the same group of selectors entering the forbidden grounds, they were the best, most experienced, and had the most to keep secret from the Sacred Sect. Therefore, their relationships were naturally closer. Their connections were also closer.

After a while, Ji Jiayu obtained the approximate addresses of more than a dozen failed candidates who had entered the forbidden grounds. "Be careful," Ji Jiayu said.

"What can I do!" Ye Zihang said with a wide grin.

"You're my friend, it's not a secret." Ji Jiayu looked at him, "I suspect the Radiant Supremacy Sect is targeting you... Man."

Ji Jiayu looked around, suspecting that he was now being targeted.

"I'm still inexperienced, too reckless, and I got carried away when I met an acquaintance. Looking back now, all my previous actions are ridiculous." Ji Jiayu pondered for a moment, then thought about it, and said to Ye Zihang's worried eyes, "I think you should go to the Sacred Sect and let them protect you. Just mention my name." I think this Qiming City will cause chaos."

"Okay," Ye Zihang said, "Ji Shen is strong, you have the final say."

"On your way to work tomorrow, don't show your face." Ji Jiayu paused and said, "I'll be going first."

"Go, be careful." Ye Zihang said.

"Okay, we'll all be fine."

Ji Jiayu smiled and pushed the door out with Nie Lanxi.

After getting off, Ji Jiayu and Nie Lanxi pretended to be fine and took a public dragon carriage back to the hotel. Upon arriving at the hotel, Ji Jiayu returned to his room and quietly practiced. He didn't open his eyes until at least two in the morning.
