The Evil Soul Master

Chen Ye's voice was not loud, but Guang Long naturally heard him because of the distance.

He turned his gaze toward Chen Ye. Looking at the young brat, he wore a hint of disdain.

"You little punk, you dare meddle in other people's business? Get lost now, and I'll pretend I didn't see you. Otherwise, don't blame me for beating you up."

Guang Long did not bother being polite. He walked straight over and reached out to grab Chen Ye by the collar.

Looking at the arrogance on the other man's face, Chen Ye's expression became somewhat strange. "I don't know who gave you the guts to cause trouble in Eastsea City. Do you?"

Chen Ye's voice was calm. As he spoke, he raised his left hand and, without the slightest hesitation, grabbed Guang Long's right hand.

Guang Long had not cared at first. He was just about to say something more arrogant, but before he could open his mouth, a tearing pain surged through his body.

A scream rang out. The right hand Chen Ye had grabbed twisted in an instant, then was snapped directly.

Guang Long dropped to one knee, his face twisted with pain, but Chen Ye showed no pity as he looked at him.

He raised his right hand and punched the other man squarely in the face.

Guang Long's entire body was sent flying. He slammed heavily into the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and coughed up several shattered front teeth.

"Kid, you're really asking to die!" Guang Long shouted coldly as two Soul Rings, one white and one yellow, descended around him.

But before he could activate his Soul Skill, the young man had already appeared before him. He raised his foot and stomped down on Guang Long's face again.

The calm stomp landed, smashing the other man's entire face into the ground.

His face twisted out of shape. The two thugs beside him looked terrified when they saw this.

Before they could run, Blue Silver Grass wrapped around their bodies and tripped them to the ground.

Fury filled Xie Xie's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he charged over and punched each of the two thugs once.

Only after the two men fell to the ground and begged for mercy did Xie Xie stop. He slightly raised his eyes toward Chen Ye.

"How vicious. How could these children bully people like that?"

"How is this bullying? Didn't you see who the one lying there was? Guang Long is a notorious thug around here!"

"Exactly. Uncle Li's restaurant is his lifeline, and his wife still needs money for medical treatment."

"These children are doomed. With his brother around, who would dare provoke him?"

"What are you all looking at? Are you bored?" Chen Ye's icy voice rang out as he watched the surrounding onlookers.

His voice was accompanied by a burst of Dragon's Might.

Terrifying pressure descended. The ordinary people and Soul Masters gathered around hurriedly scattered, not daring to remain.

Chen Ye looked at Xie Xie without any expression. His gaze swept around, and then he took out a bank card and walked over to Uncle Li.

"I damaged this place, so I'll compensate you 200,000."

"Thank you for saving me, but that's too much. I can repair it myself."

"Be careful. Guang Long's brother is the captain of our East Sea Province's Mecha Brigade."

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Chen Ye nodded indifferently. Only after seeing everyone around move far away did he calmly return to the restaurant.

Someone called the authorities, but looking at Guang Long and his unconscious underlings lying on the ground, nobody dared step forward.

Nearly twenty minutes later, after the beef pot had finished reheating, several people resumed eating. An administrative officer also came in with several others.

They looked at Chen Ye and frowned. "Were you the one who injured people in public on Snack Street? Please come with us for an investigation."

The administrative officer at the front stepped forward with a cold expression, but when he saw Chen Ye's face, he clearly froze.

"Young Clan Master, what are you doing here? Were you the one who injured those thugs?"

"Mm. Send them to prison, then find someone to 'take good care' of them."

Chen Ye nodded and continued eating indifferently. He did not even raise his head to look at the administrative officer.

The other man froze for a moment, then smiled. "Young Master, rest assured. Once he goes in, he definitely won't be coming out for several years."

"Do you want me to make him disappear directly? He has offended the Young Clan Master's eyes, so he deserves to die."

"Do whatever you want."

"Understood. Then I'll take my leave."

The administrative officer wore a respectful expression. He turned and called over the several other administrative officers who had come with him, then escorted Guang Long and the others away.

After watching the administrative officer leave with the thugs, many of the surrounding onlookers wore astonished expressions.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie also turned their gazes toward Chen Ye. Neither of them knew what kind of background he had. Only Xu Xiaoyan looked outside with some indifference.

The Chen Family was the undisputed local powerhouse in Eastsea City. If the Chen Family didn't want to reason with you, then no one could make them.

After what had happened, the group no longer felt like staying. They returned directly to the academy.

After returning to the academy, Chen Ye still found someone to deliver 200,000 to Uncle Li.

The money was nothing to him, but if it could save someone's life, it was still a good deed.

After attending classes for the entire next day, Xie Xie became somewhat nervous when school let out.

After all, he had previously investigated Guang Long's background and knew that the other man's brother was part of the Mecha Brigade and had some status.

But contrary to Tang Wulin and Xie Xie's expectations, the other party did not come looking for trouble. He did not even show his face.

Only Chen Ye was completely unconcerned. In Eastsea City, the Chen Family could be considered a top-tier power.

The Chen Family had three Douluo, including a Super Douluo.

With such strength, even in the Federation's capital, they would be considered one of the top-tier major clans.

Under these circumstances, no one in the entire East Sea Province dared provoke the Chen Family.

The Chen Family was also extremely decisive in its actions. As the Young Clan Master, Chen Ye had never directly participated in such matters, but he understood the Chen Family's way of doing things.

If you failed to uproot the grass, it would grow again when the spring wind blew.

For a clan, killing one person meant making an enemy, and killing two people also meant making an enemy. If no one was left alive, there was no need to make an enemy.

After taking Tang Wulin to add a Soul Spirit to his Clear Sky Hammer, Chen Ye gave the two of them some guidance in practical combat that evening.

When they returned to Bedroom 205, Zhou Changxi did not appear at all that day. Although the three of them did not care, they still reported the matter to Long Hengxu.

But the next day, they received some shocking news—Zhou Changxi was dead.

His soul and Martial Soul had disappeared from his body at the same time. Someone had attacked an Eastsea Academy student and taken the soul from his body.

This was a major academic safety incident. Numerous administrative officers arrived that very day.

They turned the academy upside down but found no trace of an Evil Soul Master or the Holy Spirit Cult.

However, the academy still issued an emergency notice:

Students needed to return home together under the guidance of their teachers. Students staying at the academy were not allowed to leave their bedrooms at night.
