"Hm? Does Brother Qin Yang have a habit of peeking at girls taking baths?"

Zilan frowned, sized up Qin Yang, and said.

"Don't listen to your Sister Bi's nonsense. I really don't know her. How would I know if she's crazy, going around calling people filthy thieves for no reason."

Qin Yang shook his head and spoke. He genuinely did not know this woman. With his memory, he would recognize anyone he had met before.

"Oh, I believe Brother Qin Yang."

Zilan nodded and chuckled.

"By the way, Brother Qin Yang, they're all here for the Hundred Fruit Wine. Why aren't they entering the gorge?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Zilan's beautiful eyes.

"I don't know. Let's just watch and see."

Qin Yang's gaze slightly condensed as he glanced at the people standing at the entrance of the gorge. He said, amidst these people standing at the entrance but not entering, could it be because there are many demon apes in the gorge?

"Hmm, but Brother Qin Yang, listen, the sound of the apes seems weaker than before."

Zilan nodded, puzzled.

Whoosh!

Just at that moment, an elderly silhouette in moon white robes, flicking her toes on the ground, flew out from the gorge like the wind.

On the elderly woman's moon white robe, there was an exotic beast pattern. The pattern was neither horse-like nor deer-like, rather resembling the legendary divine beast, the Unspeakable.

"Miss Shui Yuan, the Mind-Confusing Incense is already lit. In five minutes, we can enter the gorge."

The elderly woman respectfully said to the blue-clad woman.

"Mm, thank you, Granny."

The blue-clad woman nodded and spoke.

"Qin Yang, judging by the attire, they seem to be from Hundred Beasts Valley."

Bi Luoyue glanced at the elderly woman's clothing and suddenly spoke softly.

"People from Hundred Beasts Valley?"

Qin Yang was a bit surprised.

When he first arrived on Earth, the first Ancient Martial Sect he heard of was Hundred Beasts Valley, and the White Crane that surrendered to him was from there. As for that blue-clad woman, calling him a filthy thief right off, there really was one who fit the description.

"I think I know who she is."

Qin Yang lightly furrowed his brows and focused his gaze on the blue-clad woman.

Back when he annihilated the Celestial Wolf Gang, among the four Golden Wing Wolf Guards, Hell Wolf, Vajra Wolf, and Flame Wolf were all slain by him. Only Water Wolf's whereabouts remained unknown.

At that time, Water Wolf wore an ocean blue mask. Qin Yang had never seen her specific appearance, but now, it seemed highly likely that the blue-clad woman was Water Wolf.

However, this woman feels somewhat different from that night, especially her eyes. He remembers that night of the attack; those eyes held a hint of mysterious azure.

"Brother Qin Yang, do you know her?"

Zilan asked.

"Yes, it should be her. I once wiped out a gang in the Mortal Realm before; that gang was an outer branch of Hundred Beasts Valley. This woman and I crossed paths once."

Qin Yang nodded and spoke.

After he eliminated the Celestial Wolf Gang, he kept vigilant against Hundred Beasts Valley's retaliation. However, later on, Hundred Beasts Valley made no further movements. He was unsure of what transpired in between, but it certainly related to this woman in some way.

"Hehe, so Brother Qin Yang, did you really do something wrong to them?"

Zilan grew even more curious.

"No, I remember when she came to kill me, I accidentally punched her in the chest."

Qin Yang touched his nose and shook his head, speaking.

"…"

"…"

Bi Luoyue and Zilan exchanged glances, a bit bewildered.

"Haha, Brother Qin Yang, no wonder she called you a filthy thief. When fighting, how could you aim for a girl's chest?"

Zilan laughed.

While Qin Yang, Bi Luoyue, and Zilan conversed, the handsome youth from the Celestial Dragon Sect approached the blue-clad woman.

"Miss Mu, earlier we didn't expect to find so many demon apes in the gorge. If it weren't for your Mind-Confusing Incense, it would have taken us quite some effort."

The handsome youth curved a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth. Looking at Mu Shuiyuan, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes as he spoke.

"Demon apes are usually gregarious animals; it's not surprising."

Mu Shuiyuan said calmly, her beautiful eyes gazing toward the gorge. At this moment, a thin layer of blue smoke could be seen lingering above the gorge.

"Miss Shui Yuan, those demon apes should mostly be hypnotized now. We can proceed."

The elderly woman beside Mu Shuiyuan spoke.

At this moment, the ape cries from within the gorge were very faint.

"Yes, Granny, let's move."

Mu Shuiyuan nodded, her figure shifted, heading toward the gorge.

The handsome youth and the two Earth Tier elders beside him followed closely.

The other waiting groups saw this and promptly used their body techniques to speed into the gorge.

"Brother Qin Yang, let's go in too."

Zilan said.

"Mm, Little Yan, have fun in this forest for a while."

Qin Yang nodded, patted the Fire Flame Lion on its head, then headed into the gorge with the two women.

Inside the gorge, the trees were inclined, and red leaves covered the ground. Qin Yang could clearly feel that the geothermal power and Fire Spiritual Energy here were much denser.

A thin layer of blue smoke lingered in the gorge.

"Brother Qin Yang, this smoke is making me a bit dizzy…"

Zilan furrowed her brows and said.

"This smoke has a hypnotic effect, try to hold your breath."

Qin Yang spoke.

The three of them continued forward for a short distance, soon seeing over a hundred demon apes lying on the ground, hypnotized.

These demon apes were all huge, three to four times the size of ordinary apes, covered in fiery red fur. A few powerful demon apes had already developed a layer of fire crystal armor.

Qin Yang scanned the open area in the gorge. Every ten meters, a one-foot-long green incense stick was burning, releasing wisps of smoke.

"This is Hundred Beasts Valley's Mind-Confusing Incense."

Bi Luoyue's eyes slightly condensed and spoke softly. These demon apes passed out after inhaling a lot of Mind-Confusing Incense smoke.

"It seems this Mind-Confusing Incense is what the elderly woman set up in the gorge earlier."

Qin Yang muttered. Hundred Beasts Valley indeed has ways to deal with beasts.

"Qin Yang, although the Mind-Confusing Incense can hypnotize some demon beasts, its effect is limited. It won't last long against these demon apes."

Bi Luoyue said.

"Mm, let's speed up."

Qin Yang nodded and said.

Roar!

Just as Qin Yang finished speaking, beside him, a demon ape covered in fire crystal armor suddenly stood up, and its scarlet eyes opened.

Boom!

The demon ape's fist, the size of a bowl, struck towards Qin Yang.

"Brother Qin Yang, watch out!"

Zilan exclaimed.

"Water Manipulation Technique, Shield!"

Qin Yang shouted lowly, swiftly casting a Level Two magic, forming a blue water-patterned light shield around his body.
