Xu Yi still didn't dare rashly remove the restriction. He didn't know what the consequences would be. If even its basic function was lost, the consequences would be too great to bear.
Just as Xu Yi was pondering, two rays of different colors suddenly emerged from within the white-clothed youth.
"Could it be that the restriction on this light panel was also implanted inside the body?"
Xu Yi was startled. He immediately released the Cloud Crane Pure Qi around him. In an instant, he sensed it: his true soul suddenly felt lighter. Then a ray shot out from his spiritual platform.
Xu Yi said, "That's not right. Why do I only have one ray, while this fellow has two? Could he have another restriction inside him?"
Huang Mei said, "That's easy to find out. I'll know once I devour his immortal soul. But I think you should keep conducting comparative tests. See what happens when you move the light panel—with its restriction removed—and this fellow outside the Four-Colored Seal Space. Then we'll know if anything unpredictable changes."
Xu Yi's eyes lit up. "Of course I want to run that test. More than anyone, I want to know whether the force behind the Imperial Decree Platform is the Celestial Court or some old monster. But this fellow isn't suitable for the experiment. Once he's moved outside, removing the restriction might trigger a backlash that kills him on the spot. Then we wouldn't even get his immortal soul. All right, Old Desolate, I'm very interested in this fellow. Go ahead and replenish yourself."
As he spoke, he took the white-clothed youth's life. The youth's immortal soul drifted free, and Huang Mei swallowed it in one bite.
Xu Yi felt no hesitation at all as he killed the man and took his soul.
