However, Zhou Huan did not stop. Instead, he continued to unleash twelve streams of ice energy, completely eliminating the Evil Soul Master that Ye Guyi had previously killed.

Ye Guyi's eyelids twitched at the sight, thinking to herself, "This guy is too cautious; he didn't even leave a trace of the enemy behind."

On the other side, Zhou Huan seemed to have seen through Ye Guyi's thoughts, so he said, "When doing things, remember to clean up the mess properly. It's always better to be cautious than to make a big mistake. Besides, leaving the corpse to the Holy Spirit Cult, aren't you just letting them get away with it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, you're right. So, the Holy Spirit Cult you mentioned is actually the force behind the Xishui Alliance?"

Zhou Huan said, "That's right. Now that you've made such a big fuss, even destroying someone's stronghold next to Mingdu, you really can't continue participating in the Soul Engineer Competition."

Upon hearing Ye Guyi asked in confusion, "Why? All the Evil Soul Master here are dead now, so no one knows it was me who did it."

Zhou Huan glanced at Ye Guyi speechlessly and said, "I'm telling you, big sister, are you really that stubborn? At least half of the Holy Spirit Cult's high-ranking members are in Mingdu. After something like this happens, do you think they can still sit idly by? Especially with the holy aura on you, if the Holy Spirit Cult investigates thoroughly, you'll definitely be doomed if you still dare to participate in any competitions on the black market. Don't give me away then."

Ye Guyi: "..."

Seeing that Ye Guyi had nothing to say, Zhou Huan looked at the Blood Pool on the east side of the Underground Palace and said, "Miss Ye, you should be able to free those spirits bound in the Blood Pool, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi first nodded, then shook her head, saying, "The holy light can indeed free these vengeful spirits from the Blood Pool, but they are all tainted by evil. Therefore, I'm not sure whether my intervention freed them or destroyed them."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan didn't think too much and immediately said, "Let's do it. Whether these spirits are released or destroyed, they shouldn't exist in this world in such pain."

Zhou Huan didn't know much about the dead and reincarnation, but it was ultimately not a good thing for such vengeful spirits to remain in the world.

Ye Guyi agreed with this.

Therefore, she quickly arrived at the Blood Pool on the east side of the Underground Palace, and the Holy Angel Martial Soul was activated once again.

Bathed in holy light, Ye Guyi 'Angel Wings fully unfurled, and wave after wave of pale golden light began to purify the vengeful spirits within the Blood Pool.

Hundreds of vengeful spirits all revealed relieved smiles at the moment of their demise.

Within minutes, all the vengeful spirits in the Blood Pool vanished.

Immediately, Zhou Huan struck out with his palm. Under the Snow Palm, the entire Blood Pool was instantly frozen, and then with a "bang," it turned into blood mist and dissipated into the air.

At this moment, Ye Guyi said, "If I stop participating in the competition, given the influence of the Ordinary Alliance in Mingdu, they will definitely be able to find me as long as I am still in the city. Therefore, I have to leave Mingdu now."

Leaving Mingdu?

Uh, girl, you might really be unable to leave Mingdu now.

Although you're not a contestant in the Soul Master Competition, the army surrounding Mingdu and the Holy Spirit Cult will almost certainly not let you out.

Therefore, Zhou Huan said, "Um, Miss Ye, you should be unable to leave the Mingdu area."

Ye Guyi asked in confusion, "Why? I'm already in the western suburbs of Mingdu."

In response, Zhou Huan could only give Ye Guyi a general explanation of the huge trap that the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult had set up for this year's Soul Master Competition.

Ye Guyi was stunned by this insane conspiracy; was the Sun Moon Empire about to start a war?

Ye Guyi was merely a minor Soul Emperor. She could manage to kill Evil Soul Master, but in the face of a war across the entire continent, she was nothing more than an ant.

This was none of her business, yet now she found herself caught in the middle.

After a long silence, Ye Guyi finally said, "Then what should I do? If I suddenly withdraw from the competition, I will definitely offend the Ordinary Alliance. If Shangguan Wei'er leaks my information to the Xishui Alliance, I'm doomed no matter what I do."

Now you know you're in a hurry?

Haven't you always been stubborn?

As long as there's Evil Soul Master, you'd dare to go up and slash with your sword.

Zhou Huan inwardly scoffed, but still said aloud, "I can help you. However, there are conditions."

Are there any conditions?

Ye Guyi looked at Zhou Huan with a puzzled expression.

However, she quickly remembered that Zhou Huan had reminded her about the Xishui Alliance when they first met yesterday. They were not related, so there was no reason for him to help her so enthusiastically.

Even if he were one of Shrek's men, he wouldn't be this helpful.

As expected, he still had ulterior motives.

But now, he has become his savior.

So, if there are conditions, so be it. As long as they're not too outrageous and don't violate my bottom line, I might as well agree to them.

Therefore, after a moment's thought, Ye Guyi replied, "You name the conditions, as long as I can do it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded slightly. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

Although it might seem like he was taking advantage of Ye Guyi's Ye Guyi, he wouldn't mistreat her in the future.

So Zhou Huan said, "I want you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Guyi glared at her angrily. "What did you say?! You really are a scumbag, actually coveting my good looks."

Snap!

Zhou Huan slapped his forehead speechlessly, rolled his eyes, and said, "Girl, who gave you that confidence? My girlfriend is way prettier than you, okay?"

Then, Zhou Huan said seriously, "What I mean is, I want something on you, something that even you can't see."

Zhou Huan's words left Ye Guyi utterly bewildered. What did he mean by something on my body that even I couldn't see?

What are you talking about, bro?

Seeing Ye Guyi's bewildered expression, Zhou Huan explained, "You don't need to worry about what it is; it won't hurt you. Besides, I'll tell you later, but not now. Knowing too much won't actually do you any good."

After a long silence, Ye Guyi finally nodded and said, "Alright. Since you saved me, I'll believe you this once. But don't do anything strange to me. Otherwise, I'll never agree to it, even if it kills me."

Seeing Ye Guyi's serious expression, Zhou Huan's lips twitched, and he roared inwardly, "Am I that kind of frivolous person?"

However, for the sake of the Godhead Fragment, Zhou Huan held back and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it'll be quick. Don't resist now, I'll take you somewhere."

Although Ye Guyi was somewhat confused, she still agreed.

Then, a flash of white light.

When Ye Guyi opened her eyes again, she found herself on a Sunny Island.

The area was shaded by lush trees, and on a flat lawn, there were even several small round tables and a dozen or so wooden chairs.

There were even various drinks and snacks on the round table.

At first glance, someone unfamiliar with the area might mistake it for a place where people are enjoying a spring outing.

Ye Guyi even thought she was hallucinating. One second she was in the Bell Tower Underground Palace, and the next she was in a completely unfamiliar place?

At this moment, Zhou Huan explained, "Miss Ye, this is the safe haven I've prepared for you. You can stay here for the time being. When I leave Mingdu, I can naturally take you with me. Don't worry about where this is; just think of it as a Treasure Bag that you can live in. Anyway, you've seen those Treasure Bag that can hold living Soul Beast before; they're all pretty much the same thing."

What does "similar" mean?

There's a huge difference, okay?

Can your Treasure Bag hold a living person?

How could such outrageous things be produced from Treasure Bag?

Why don't you build a castle in your Treasure Bag?

Ye Guyi immediately started ranting in her mind, but she held back and didn't say anything.

Since arriving here, she has been completely unable to perceive anything outside of this small island.

It is clear that Zhou Huan is a person who cannot be described by ordinary standards.

If he were to do anything inappropriate to her, Ye Guyi would have no choice but to expose herself with tears in her eyes.

Just as Ye Guyi was confidently lost in her own thoughts, Zhou Huan continued, "Alright, now I need to take something from you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi shuddered and stammered, "W-how do I get it?"

It really gives off a bit of a Little Red Riding Hood-like vibe as she faces the Big Bad Wolf.

Zhou Huan felt like a bad guy, so she could only say helplessly, "You... just relax, don't think about anything else."

Immediately, Zhou Huan pointed a finger at Ye Guyi's brow, and the Five-Colored Godhead was activated instantly. Accompanied by the stripping power of the Floating Pagoda, rays of light emanated from Ye Guyi's brow and Zhou Huan's fingertip.

The light disappeared after just three seconds.

Before Ye Guyi could even react, a Golden Crystal, no bigger than a fingernail, appeared on Zhou Huan's fingertip.

The first thing Ye Guyi blurted out was, "It's over so quickly?"

Zhou Huan immediately felt insulted, but he was still very happy because he had finally obtained the Godhead Fragment.

This is undoubtedly a small Godhead Fragment of the Angel God's divine essence. Although it may account for less than two percent, it will definitely be of great use to Zhou Huan.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Huan intently examining the small Golden Crystal, Ye Guyi asked with a strange expression, "Was this taken from me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Huan nodded and said, "That's right. Now that the deal is done, I will take responsibility for your safety in Mingdu."

Before Ye Guyi could ask anything more, Zhou Huan added, "Don't ask any more questions. The more you know about this, the less safe you are. Oh, by the way, this is Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, which is very beneficial for cultivation. Just stay here and cultivate diligently for now. I'll bring you food on time."

After saying that, Zhou Huan took out a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, explained its function and how to use it to Ye Guyi, and then left the Floating Pagoda.

On the Sunny Island Floating Pagoda, Ye Guyi was all alone. Looking at the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow in front of her, she felt like she had been tricked, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After shaking her head, Ye Guyi stopped thinking about it. Since things were already like this, she should just focus on cultivating. Nothing else mattered.
