Gathering allies.

"While it is true that I want to find Yantian and keep him safe, the second point you made is not completely correct. I have a grudge with Guo Jiahao and Guo Zhe, not the entire Guo clan. Just like they have evil people, they also have good people."

Yao Jun shook his head in response to Wan Yi's words. Her words made it sound like he wanted to kill everyone from the Guo clan, but that was not what he wanted.

Guo Zhe and Guo Jiahao were people he was going to kill, but the grudge between them did not extend to the rest of the Guo clan. Of course, if people from the Guo clan were going to try and hunt him down to kill him, or hurt those he cared about, they would die all the same.

"I have a question. What did you do to get banished by the Demon Race?"

Guo Luo spoke up from beside Yao Jun. She had heard Yao Jun talk about Wan Yi before so she knew that she had a high status in the Demon Race. For her to get banished by the Demon Race, she must have done more than just break a normal law.

"I killed many people. People from both the Demon Race and the Human Race. I found that they had committed heinous crimes, so I decided to kill them."

Wan Yi had a grim expression as she spoke. While she spoke the truth, she left out half of it, not mentioning that she had made her people impersonate Yao Jun as they killed those people.

Wan Yi also had another reason for traveling with Yao Jun. She did indeed want to kill the people from the Guo clan who destroyed this village, but that was not the only reason.

She no longer had her position in the Demon Race. So the only way for her to create a peaceful world where the people from the Demon Race could live without constantly fighting a pointless battle was with her own strength. She would have to become strong, strong enough to make no one dare start any pointless battles against her people.

Of course, the odds of her managing this all alone were almost nonexistent. But if she found strong allies who were willing to assist her, it would be much easier. Yao Jun wanted to create a peaceful world for those he cared about, so their goals were almost the same, only on different scales.

Yao Jun didn't respond immediately, tapping his chin in silence as he considered Wan Yi's proposal. He did not care that she had killed people for committing crimes, he had done the same.

He also did not dislike her, in fact, he found her quite admirable. Yao Jun simply wanted to protect a few people, which could be considered a very selfish goal. But she wanted to protect the entire Demon Race.

"What do you think?"

Yao Jun turned his head towards Guo Luo as he asked. He did not mind having Wan Yi traveling with them, but he also had to see what Guo Luo was thinking. Guo Luo stood there in silence for a short moment, pondering, before she opened her mouth and gave her opinion.

"I don't see a reason why we shouldn't bring her along. Her power also seems very useful, so I am fine with having her travel with us."

Guo Luo nodded her head as she spoke. Being able to summon the souls of the recently deceased would make it much easier to collect information in certain situations. If they had been able to do this after Yao Jun killed the people who chased them after they left Zhenya valley, they could have found out exactly who was chasing them.

"Thank you. I am Wan Yi."

Hearing Guo Luo's words, Wan Yi's face lit up with a smile as she cupped her hands and introduced herself. She of course already knew who Guo Luo was, but proper introductions were still in order.

"I am Guo Luo."

Guo Luo cupped her hands and returned the smile. She found it a slight pity that it would no longer be just her and Yao Jun, but she also knew that it would be easier for them if they had more allies. Guo Luo herself was still rather weak in a fight, so having Wan Yi to assist in fights could be a great help.

"Do you know any way we can track down Yun Yantian?"

After the two girls made their introductions, Yao Jun opened his mouth and spoke. If he had any items belonging to Yun Yantian, he could maybe have Little Thunder or Sirius try to track him down through his scent. But he had no such items, so he did not have any leads on how to find him.

"I can't track down Yun Yantian, but I might be able to track down the people chasing them."

Wan Yi turned towards one group of corpses as she spoke. These corpses were all clad in the robes of the Guo clan, so they were clearly part of the group that were chasing after Yun Yantian. Wan Yi walked over to the group of corpses and raised her left hand.

Black smoke started seeping out of her skin and into the surroundings, quickly forming a large crow with the image of a skull on it's back. The crow was even bigger than Little Thunder, it's body five meters in length and two meters in width. The crow spread out it's wings and released a loud screech.

After it's screech sounded, black smoke started seeping out from the corpses on the ground, forming several humanoid silhouettes. Yao Jun knew that these were the souls belonging to the dead people from the Guo clan. After the silhouettes formed, the crow opened it's beak and directly swallowed all the silhouettes.

After it swallowed all the silhouettes, the crow turned into black smoke and returned into Wan Yi's body. Wan Yi closed her eyes in deep concentration, seemingly searching for something.

"Strange. There are far too many people from the Guo clan on this continent."

Wan Yi opened her eyes after a few minutes of concentration and couldn't help but mutter to herself. Seeing Yao Jun and Guo Luo's confused expression, she quickly explained to them.

"When the Reaper Crow devours a soul, I can use it to track down anyone who has a similar soul. Since it devoured several souls from the Guo clan, I had it track down anyone who had a soul that matched any of them, basically allowing me to track down anyone belonging to the Guo clan."

Everyone had their own soul, but people who belonged to the same clan would often have some similarities in their soul. It was by using these similarities that Wan Yi could track them down after having the Reaper Crow devour their souls.

"At my current level, I can only just barely search half the Yang continent. But even then, I found over 17000 people from the Guo clan, that is simply far too many, it seems like they are planning something big."

The Guo clan was scared of the Yang clan attacking them, so there was no way they would have too many spies on the Yang continent. If a spy was discovered, the Yang clan could use it as an excuse to attack and eradicate the Guo clan.

"But don't worry, most of these people are very spread out, with a large amount of distance between each. I only found one group that contained more than four people. This group should be the one that is chasing Yun Yantian."

Wan Yi brought out the Reaper Crows as she spoke, hopping onto it's back as she indicated for Yao Jun and Guo Luo to hop on after her. Yao Jun hopped onto the crow after a short moment of hesitation. Flying on this crow would indeed be faster than riding Little Thunder.
