Yan Ruyu suddenly stopped. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, staring at the ground in front of her, with an uncertain expression on her face.
Four warriors from the Yan family emerged from the forest panting and stood beside Yan Ruyu with solemn expressions. Their eyes were full of horror, as if they had seen something incredible.
The blood on Mendel's decapitated body had not yet dried up, but the body was so shriveled that it seemed like it had lost all moisture, and all its energy was gone. This scene made them unable to help but feel fear, not knowing what was going on.
Four warriors gathered around Yan Ruyu, their eyes full of horror. One of the warriors hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward and said, "Miss..."
Yan Ruyu's eyebrows were deeply knitted, her delicate body trembled slightly, and after a while she said decisively: "Stop chasing her." Her voice was obviously trembling.
"Miss..." The warrior wanted to say something else.
Yan Ruyu raised her head, her eyes were firm, and her tone was unquestionable: "I told you, stop chasing me!"
The warrior swallowed, lowered his head and said, "Yes, Miss."
Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She knew that now was not the time to be impulsive.
"Mendel is at the second level of Qi Gathering, which is equivalent to mine, but he has more combat experience than me." Yan Ruyu shook her head feebly, her eyes filled with helplessness. "No matter what method he uses to kill Mendel, it means that he is a fatal threat to us. If we continue to hunt, none of us may be able to return to the Merchant Alliance." Yan Ruyu said in a low voice, with a hint of unwillingness in his tone.
"Are we going to let him go like this? Miss, we paid a huge price to invite Master Mendel back." The warrior whispered, with a hint of regret in his tone.
"Besides giving up, Li Tian, do you have any good strategies to deal with him?" Yan Ruyu looked solemnly and stared at Li Tian, hoping to get an answer from him.
Yan Ruyu suddenly stopped. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, staring at the ground in front of her, with an uncertain expression on her face.

The warrior suddenly fell silent, with a bitter expression on his face. He knew that it would not be easy to find a suitable strategy in this situation.
Yan Ruyu bent down and groped for a while on Mendel's body, gritting her teeth and cursing: "Damn it, he took away all the potions and medicinal scriptures on Mendel's body. Our trip was in vain." Yan Ruyu looked a little depressed, She understood that not only had the operation failed, but it might also cause a series of troubles.
The four warriors were silent together. They knew that this operation had brought a great blow to them, but they also understood that now was not the time to give up. They must return to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance as soon as possible and report the situation to the family leader.
"Go back to Pan Sen. From now on, no one is allowed to act alone!" Yan Ruyu took a deep breath, stood up and returned the same way, her hatred for Chen Fan getting stronger. …
Chen Fan hurriedly walked through the dark forest of dreams, trying to find a safe hiding place. However, the violent bloodthirsty desire in his body was like a savage beast swallowing up his sanity bit by bit. Violent, murderous, and crazy emotions were running like wild horses in his mind, making it difficult for him to stay calm.
But at this moment, his body was extremely exhausted, and his hands and feet seemed to have no strength. In this situation, fighting with others would only lead to death. He didn't know how long he could hold on, and he didn't expect that his body would be so abnormal, and he didn't take any emergency measures.
"boom!"
The bloodthirsty thoughts in his heart finally broke out. Chen Fan was breathing heavily, his eyes could not see anything, and a voice in his mind kept repeating: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Chen Fan knew in his heart that he would soon lose all reason and become a bloodthirsty beast that only knew about killing. He forced himself to stay awake and look for any possible solution. He knew that if he allowed this situation to continue, he would lose his life.
However, as time passed by, Chen Fan's reason was gradually swallowed up by bloodthirsty desire. He felt that he was slowly turning into a bloodthirsty beast, unable to control his actions.
…
The melodious sound of the piano floats in the quiet forest, like resentment, admiration, weeping, and complaints, making people feel like they are in a dream. The sound of the piano is like the sound of nature, sometimes like beads falling on a jade plate, sometimes like a ring ring, flowing slowly, like a bird flapping its wings gently in the forest, or like gurgling spring water in a silent mountain stream. This beautiful melody is so poetic and fascinating that people can't help but fall into it.
In this eerie forest, this beautiful piano sound adds a mysterious color to this silent world. The clear and melodious sound of the piano was like a soft and boneless jade hand, gently caressing his soul, gradually calming down the restless bloodthirsty desires, and slowly restoring clarity to the sanity that was about to collapse.
Under the influence of the sound of the piano, even those who were about to fall into madness gradually regained their composure and walked slowly towards the direction of the sound of the piano with intoxicated faces, as if they were in a poetic music world, filling their hearts. His bloodthirsty desire disappeared little by little.
Guided by the sound of the piano, Chen Fan walked through the dark forest and came to a small valley full of exotic flowers and plants. In this beautiful valley, a graceful silhouette was playing the guqin, sitting cross-legged among the flowers, bowing her head gently, playing selflessly, unaware that Chen Fan was slowly approaching.
Chen Fan stood still a hundred meters away, looking at the beautiful figure with her back to him, slowly closing his eyes and immersing himself in the beautiful music of the piano. In this moment of tranquility, he seemed to have forgotten that he was in danger and the bloodlust raging in his body.
For a long time, the sound of the piano gradually became deeper and deeper, and finally stopped abruptly. Chen Fan suddenly woke up from his intoxication and felt that the violent bloodthirsty desire in his body had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
However, he still felt heavy and had unbearable pain in his chest. Mendel's attack had obviously caused him serious injuries.
After feeling it carefully, Chen Fan found that the cyclone in the acupoint was still rotating tenaciously, continuing to digest the essence from Mendel.
At this time, a beautiful figure in the distance was holding a guqin, slowly turned around, frowned slightly, and met Chen Fan's eyes.
Chen Fan's body trembled slightly, he stared at her with burning eyes, and couldn't help but admired: "It's so beautiful!"
The beautiful woman was wearing a white dress and looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. She was stunningly beautiful. Her eyes were as bright as stars, her teeth were as white as snow, and her skin was as clear as the finest jade. Her ethereal and charming temperament perfectly blend into one, like a goddess descending to earth, otherworldly.
The beauty just glanced at Chen Fan, then turned around silently, holding the guqin in her arms, and walked gracefully towards the river a hundred meters ahead.
"Miss, thank you for the music just now, can I..." Seeing the beauty walking further and further away, Chen Fan shouted loudly.
"Boy, enough is enough."
Chen Fan's steps were blocked by a shadow for a moment. In front of him, a huge figure appeared. It was a middle-aged man with a beard. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his figure was as burly as a mountain. Like a stone statue, he suddenly jumped down from the ancient tree and stood in front of Chen Fan.
Chen Fan's heart was instantly overwhelmed by the turbulent waves. He felt an indescribable pressure from this burly man. His eyes were like a sharp sword that could penetrate people's hearts. There was a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was mocking Chen Fan's ignorance.
Taking a step back, Chen Fan first showed that he had no ill intentions, laughed dryly a few times, and then said: "That beautiful lady has superb piano skills, and the sound of the piano is like reverberating in the beams of the house, which is endlessly memorable. I just want to hear it again That beautiful piano sound has no other meaning.”
This girl's piano skills have reached a state of perfection, and her clear and beautiful piano sounds seem to be able to suppress the bloodthirsty desire in her body. Chen Fan didn't know if the bloodlust in his body would break out again, so he wanted to find a way to control it.
"I know you are just lustful and have no other intentions, otherwise you would no longer be alive." The yellow-faced man smiled and said: "But this place is not suitable for a lustful person like you. I suggest you leave here to avoid Causing unnecessary trouble.”
"Okay." Chen Fan raised his hand to agree, and without further entanglement, he took a deep look at the graceful figure in the distance, then turned and left.
…
"Uncle Luo, there is a strong evil spirit in this man's body. Just now, his whole person was shrouded in murderous aura, and he almost lost his mind. However, after he regained consciousness, he still dared to show his face. His eyes... were so arrogant. , I think he is not someone sent by the Ghost Palace." Mu Ge said.
That man never seemed to hide his inner feelings.
"He is definitely not from the 'Ghost Hall'. The people sent by the 'Ghost Hall' are at least in the Qi Gathering Realm. That kid is still struggling in the Qi Guiding Realm." Luo Jing said with a smile: "However, that guy is really interesting. , you are not even in the Qi Gathering realm, yet you dare to covet our little fairy who is in the Qi Condensing Third Heaven Realm, you are so daring, haha.”
Mu Ge sighed softly, feeling filled with anxiety. Thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help but frown. Ever since she was attacked by the "Ghost Hall", she has been in a weak state and her strength has been greatly reduced. At this moment, she has lost even the most basic ability to protect herself.
Mu Ge knew that the current situation was very difficult. Although it was not far from the Merchant Alliance, this last stretch of the journey was undoubtedly the most dangerous. She worried that she would drag down her companions and become a burden to them.
Luo Jing saw Mu Ge's worried look. How could he not know Mu Ge's worries? He suppressed his inner anxiety and said sternly:
"Don't think too much, Mu Ge. We will definitely succeed. As long as we reach the Merchant Alliance, we will be safe."
After listening to Luo Jing's words, Mu Ge felt a little calmer.
"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
With the sound of strange whistles, two male soldiers and one female soldier appeared from the woods. The three young men looked nervous and looked around vigilantly, looking for any possible threats.
The leading young man walked quickly towards Luo Jing and reported solemnly: "Uncle Luo, we failed to catch up with the pursuers of the 'Ghost Hall'. They are very cunning and move quickly. We only found some clues."
Luo Jing frowned when he heard this. He knew that if they could not get rid of the pursuers of the "Ghost Hall", their group would face great danger. He made a prompt decision and decided to change his plan and re-select his foothold in order to escape the enemy's pursuit.
Luo Jing immediately greeted everyone and told everyone to pack up and prepare to leave as soon as possible. There was no time to hesitate, they had to act as soon as possible to avoid being surrounded by people from the "Ghost Hall".
As a result, the five people in this group took action quickly without stopping too much.
…
Chen Fan left the group of people, and the bloodthirsty desire in his heart gradually emerged again. He knew that this desire was closely related to Mendel's spirit.
In the process of purifying these powers, some annoying negative emotions overflowed from time to time, which in turn inspired the blood lust in his body.
This bloodlust has a huge impact on him. Despite his best efforts to restrain himself, at certain moments he would still be dominated by this desire and become manic and irritable.
The sound of the piano from before forced the bloodthirsty desire in Chen Fan's body to be suppressed. He temporarily regained his sanity and did not descend into crazy chaos. However, he understood that as long as the acupuncture points in his body were still purifying Mendel's power, he might be dominated by desire again at any time.
At this moment, that beautiful girl became his only reliance to stay awake. Only by following her could he hear the sweet sound of the piano and calm himself down temporarily.
Although Chen Fan knew that doing so might bring trouble to the girl, he had no choice. He must get as close to the girl as possible so that when desire arises again, he can use her music to calm his inner restlessness.
Therefore, Chen Fan strengthened his determination and cautiously pursued the girl. He knew in his heart that he must seize the time and complete the purification process as soon as possible in order to truly get rid of this bloodthirsty desire.
