Chapter 416: The Ominous Salt Pond
It was "Huang WaZi"!
Li Yan took one look and immediately knew what had happened.
They had been focused on dealing with Guest in the Mist, allowing the little thing to find an opening and sneak into the house to harm people.
Looking at Zhang Si Bei again, a tiny handprint had already appeared on his wrist. It was pitch-black, resembling a child's hand—or a monkey's claw.

Rustle!
Li Yan swept out a hand. The Soul Hooking Chain whistled forth and directly bound that stench, then suddenly twisted tight.
"Ahh—ahh—"
A child's wretched screams immediately rang beside their ears.
Li Yan's gaze was cold and emotionless, without the slightest trace of pity.
