I spoke lightly about Jie Sanbao's business, but in fact, I wasn't so optimistic.

Judging from Jie Yueling's own strength, I could roughly deduce one result: Jie Yueling was at least a Sifang Shen (Four Directions God). Once she regained her strength, she would be no less than Zi Wan'er, perhaps even stronger.

Feng Ruohang knew that my concerns were not unreasonable. In this situation, it wasn't wise to send out all the experts from Liangjie Tang, so he nodded in agreement.

What gladdened me, though, was that Wang Xiaohuan had promised to help Wang Butcher advance before she left. Once Wang Butcher succeeded, Liangjie Tang would rise to another level.

What I didn't know was that as soon as I left, Lao Liu spread the news about Wang Butcher's advancement.

After arranging things at Liangjie Tang, I approached Jie Sanbao and quietly asked Ye Yang along the way, "Don't you even know where your Ye family's cursed land is?"

Ye Yang said, "The Ye family's ancestor didn't leave any clues! The descendants of the Ye family speculate that the ancestor thought the demon god who signed the contract with him was too powerful and didn't want his descendants to die in vain."

"If the descendants of the Ye family don't want to implicate others, they have to find a place to hide when the demon god is about to claim their lives."

I looked at Ye Yang, "Hide and do what? Wait to die?"

Ye Yang nodded slightly without speaking. I asked again, "How long is the interval between the demon god's life-claiming?"

Ye Yang said, "Sixty years! Or a hundred years."

I raised my eyebrows, "So! We don't necessarily have to slay the god, as long as we can hold out until the demon god leaves, we can be considered victorious?"

"I don't know!" Ye Yang shook his head again, "Before this, no one has ever escaped the demon god's life-claiming. I have always suspected that the Ye family's ancestor might have owed the demon god something, otherwise, the demon god shouldn't want to kill the Ye family's descendants again and again."

Once a human-god contract is established, the contract master rarely kills people. Only when the other party is alive can the god's interests be guaranteed. Unless the other party violates the contract or wants to break free from control, the demon god will relentlessly pursue them.

Ye Yang didn't know what happened back then, so I didn't continue to ask and went straight to Jie's house.

When Jie Sanbao saw me, he couldn't speak for a long time, "Hall Master Li, weren't you supposed to be gone for a month?"

"I came back as soon as I finished my business." Yun Chang lied about me going out, so I had to make it up. After I finished speaking, I sat down, "President Jie, you didn't hire another exorcist, did you?"

"No!" Jie Sanbao said, "But, I hired some people to go over there first."

Jie Sanbao quickly explained, "Hall Master Li, don't worry, I understand the rules of the art, I didn't hire any exorcists, I just sent a group of mercenaries and archaeologists there first."

"I just... I just miss Yueling too much. I also wanted someone to scout the way for you."

"Understood!" I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that Jie Sanbao didn't hire any exorcists, otherwise, it would be another trouble.

I paused and said, "Speaking of which, what did you hire those people to do? To die?"

"No!" Jie Sanbao shook his head, "To tell you the truth, after I came out of there, I also thought about going back. But I couldn't find the place anymore. I sent people over there to save some time."

I couldn't help but frown slightly, "If you want to save time, come with us. We'll talk about the matter on the way."

Jie Sanbao hesitated, "Yueling said, don't let me go. If I go again, she will never see me again. I..."

I said in a deep voice, "You are the person involved. If you don't go, I will have to ask you about many things over the phone. There definitely won't be enough time. You have to go."

I stood up before Jie Sanbao could speak, "I'll give you half a day. Come find me before dark. Otherwise, our deal will be canceled."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and left Jie's villa.

Lin Zhao came out and said, "Actually, we don't have to bring Jie Sanbao."

I shook my head slightly, "Bringing him is just in case. I have a feeling that Jie Sanbao is the key to our business this time. Without him, the business won't be successful."

Lin Zhao said, "Will Jie Sanbao come?"

"I don't know!" I said in a deep voice, "If Jie Sanbao comes, it means that Jie Yueling must have returned to the original place. If Jie Sanbao doesn't come, it means that Jie Yueling is still in the provincial capital."

"Before I came here, I was always considering a question. After we left, what agreement did Jie Sanbao and Jie Yueling reach?"

"Jie Yueling's strength hasn't recovered. From this point of view, Jie Yueling is not suitable to return immediately. Given Jie Sanbao's feelings for her, if Jie Yueling asks Jie Sanbao to help her recover her strength, will Jie Sanbao refuse?"

My eyes darkened slightly and I said, "Don't forget, ghosts and gods can devour their own kind, and they can also eat people."

Lin Zhao subconsciously looked at Jie's villa, "If that's the case, Jie Sanbao is too good at acting, right?"

"Whether he's acting or not, we'll have to wait and see. Let's go back first."

I waited in Liangjie Tang until the afternoon, and Jie Sanbao came, "Hall Master Li, you're right. There are some things I can't escape. When are we leaving?"

"Let's go now!" After I got in the car, I asked, "Lao Jie. Tell me, what exactly happened back then? Start with how you discovered that place!"
