Old Ghost Zhaixing

Having obtained the Earth Core Bead, Xiao Ming felt he had nothing to do. He took one of his robes and draped it over Xiao Yi Xian's smooth body, then sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

In the process, three days passed in the blink of an eye...

The Xiao Yi Xian, sitting cross-legged on the ground, gently fluttered her long eyelashes and slowly opened her bright, clear eyes. At first, she seemed a little confused, but she quickly came to her senses.

At this moment, Xiao Yi Xian did not exude any Aura, yet she seemed to merge with heaven and earth, like a vast and boundless sea, whose depths were unfathomable.

She gently stretched out a slender, jade-like hand, grasped a ray of sunlight, and felt a warm sensation emanating from her palm.

"This feeling, like wielding an arm..."

A soft voice rang out, and the Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful face curved into a captivating smile.

She has already taken control of the Woeful Poison Body. Even without the Nether Poison Flame, she will not be affected, and her strength has increased dramatically!

With a quick glance, Xiao Yi Xian saw Xiao Ming's back, and a sweet and gentle smile appeared on her pretty face.

She stood up gently, the robe she was wearing falling off, and with a flick of her jade-like feet, ripples spread out beneath her feet, and she appeared behind Xiao Ming.

She immediately knelt down, gently embracing Xiao Ming 'Xiao Ming body with her delicate hands, pressing her body tightly against his back, and smelling the familiar scent of faint Medicinal Fragrance.

"Xiao Ming, do you know? I've always been so grateful to have met you. If you and Zi Yan hadn't broken into my room that night and taken me away, I probably would have become a monster by now because of the Woeful Poison Body..."

Xiao Ming slowly opened his eyes, reached out and grasped the soft hand that was wrapped around his chest, and said softly.

"Our meeting was destined; what you're saying may not exist."

Xiao Ming had already made up his mind to abduct Xiao Yi Xian. With Xiao Ming's "foresight," where could Xiao Yi Xian possibly run off to?

Xiao Yi Xian, however, thought that Xiao Ming was speaking sweet words, that their meeting was destined. Instantly, a blush rose on her pretty face, her eyes became hazy, and her words were tender and affectionate.

"Xiao Ming ~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming exerted a little force and pulled the unresisting Xiao Yi Xian in front of him. He gently stroked her chin with his fair and slender hand, lifting it up and slowly tilting his head towards her.

As Xiao Ming's handsome face slowly approached, drawing ever closer, Xiao Yi Xian's beautiful eyes grew increasingly moist, and she proactively brought her lips to Xiao Ming's.

Feeling the unusual touch on her body, Xiao Yi Xian's cheeks quickly flushed red, and she took the initiative to climb her arms onto Xiao Ming's neck.

Outside, at the edge of the Ancient Yang Fire Altar Square, Medusa sat atop a tree, having finished refining the energy within her body.

Thanks to the effects of the Blood Pool, her cultivation level has reached the Five-Star Dou Zong.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura erupted, sweeping across the entire Ye City, and naturally, the Ancient Yang Fire Altar within the Ye Family was also within its range.

"Heh heh heh! Xiao Ming, I know you're here. Come out and face your death!"

The aged voice, like a sudden Thunder, reverberated throughout Ye City, as if it were ringing in everyone's ears.

Medusa had just finished her cultivation, opened her eyes with a displeased expression and looked up at the sky.

There, a vast expanse of black mist surged and billowed, then swirled across the sky amidst countless horrified gazes.

The black mist emerged and then gradually dissipated, revealing more than ten figures. These Aura all possessed considerable power, especially the one at the head of the group, an old man dressed in gray and white robes. There was no energy leakage around this man, but the moment he appeared, the space in this world experienced violent fluctuations.

Beneath the Ancient Yang Fire Altar, Xiao Ming parted ways with Xiao Yi Xian, his brows slightly furrowed. That familiar laughter—was it someone from the Hall of Souls again?

In Xiao Ming, Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face also showed a touch of Frost. Just as she was about to respond to Xiao Ming's affection, someone came out to cause trouble.

More importantly, just when she was feeling emotional and wanted to take things further, she was interrupted, which left Xiao Yi Xian extremely frustrated.

In an instant, Xiao Yi Xian felt an overwhelming rage towards the person who had spoken earlier, and she was determined to teach him a lesson!

Right now, Xiao Ming had no choice but to release the delicate beauty in his arms.

"Let's leave it at that for now. Let's go and meet these people from the Hall of Souls."

The Xiao Yi Xian nodded gently, and with a light tap of her jade finger, materialized Heaven and Earth Energy surged forth, flowing around her delicate body like water and condensing into a plain white dress.

Ye Family Front Yard

The Ye Family was in complete panic. Judging from the roar just now, the newcomer was far more powerful than the Ye Family could resist.

What's even more terrifying is the power behind these people: the Hall of Souls, a top-tier power in Central Plains, capable of rivaling the Pill Tower.

The group consisted of more than ten people. Apart from the old man who was clearly Dou Zun, the rest of them were all High-Star Dou Ancestor, and none of them were lower than Eight Star Dou Zong.

It should be noted that the strongest member of the Ye Family, the Great Elder Ye Zhong, is only Dou Ancestor Six Stars!

Within Ye City, countless people stared in disbelief at the Hall of Souls members in the sky. A strange, chilling, and powerful aura continuously surged from their bodies, making it difficult for those with weaker strength to breathe!

"These... these are all people from the Hall of Souls?"

"What are they doing in Ye City? Such a terrifying force! And there's even a Dou Zun among them!"

"Are you deaf? I told you I came to see Xiao Ming!"

"Xiao Ming is Eight Great Elders of the Pill Tower, and also the number one genius in the Pill Tower and even the Central Plains. Does the Hall of Souls dare to touch him? Aren't they afraid that the Pill Tower will fight them?"

"If they're afraid, then why are they making such a big fuss? Are they here for sightseeing in Ye City?"

"..."

Within Ye City, the sudden arrival of the Hall of Souls members from outside the city caused a great commotion. They were all puzzled as to why the Hall of Souls was causing trouble for Xiao Ming, given that Xiao Ming had only been making a name for himself for less than a year.

Looking down at the chaotic Ye Family mansion below, the Old Ghost Zhaixing sneered.

"Xiao Ming, aren't you coming out yet? You think you can hide?"

The Old Ghost Zhaixing was absolutely certain that Xiao Ming was here, because when Xiao Ming left Holy Pill City, he was discovered by their spies hidden in Holy Pill City.

They also discovered that the old man who had always been with Xiao Ming was not with him.

Because Xiao Ming did not conceal his identity, the existence of Venerable Tian Huo was actually known to many people. Based on this, it was deduced that the people of the Hall of Souls naturally discovered that Venerable Tian Huo was a powerful figure protecting Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was away from Holy Pill City without any powerful protectors by his side. Upon receiving this news, the Star Picking Heavenly Venerable couldn't wait to bring his men to him, fearing that if he was too late, Xiao Ming would rush back to Holy Pill City.

Because the Star Picking Heavenly Venerable understood that Xiao Ming was not taking the old man out because he would soon be returning to the Pill Tower!

And that was indeed the case; if it had been half a day later, Xiao Ming might have already left.
