Ye Guyi

Liu Feng was shaken awake, as if by an earthquake.

He had barely slept the previous night and had only just begun to catch up on his rest, so he was not yet fully conscious.

"Hmm...?"

He rubbed his eyes.

Where had they brought him?

Why did it feel like he was in a carriage?

Although the interior was decorated like a room with platinum-colored soft padding, the windows and the sound of hooves outside proved that this was not a house.

Nearby, two people were chatting idly.

"...Ghost Head, didn't you use a sleep-inducing soul skill on him? Why is he awake?"

"It is indeed a bit strange; perhaps it's a talent of an Outlander? It's nothing to worry about. He's just a child, surely he can't escape?"

"You've completely lost your mind! This child is worth four million Gold Soul Coins. If anything happens to him, both of our heads won't be enough to pay for it!"

The two of them began to bicker.

"!!!"

Liu Feng became instantly alert.

He recalled his memories from the Grand Auction House.

At the time, he hadn't been in a deep sleep, but because of his trust in Zi Ji, he hadn't paid much attention to the outside world.

In an ordinary large city, Zi Ji was the law!

With Zi Ji present, who could possibly harm him?

However, he had overestimated Zi Ji's integrity!

She had actually sold him out...

Liu Feng sat up and tapped his head, feeling a surge of anger.

When he returned, he would definitely lodge a serious complaint against Zi Ji!

Even if Zi Ji had a foolproof plan, he could not accept this, because he had regarded her as family.

Feeling a cold, dragon-scale-shaped object in his pocket, he hesitated for a moment, choosing not to take it out and discard it, but instead using his Breath of Nature to completely sever its connection.

"Little Young Master, would you like something to eat?"

The female soul master asked with a smile, handing over a fruit platter while winking at the male soul master beside her.

A Black Handkerchief suddenly appeared in the male soul master's hand, and three soul rings circled his arm.

"Eat up and then take a nap; we'll be there soon, be a good boy..."

As he spoke, he moved to place the Black Handkerchief over Liu Feng's head.

The moment Liu Feng sensed the malice, his expression remained unchanged, but the Purple Star Spirit Bow immediately appeared in his hand!

"Hum...!!!"

The Purple Star Spirit Bow snapped open, and he fired an arrow directly at the female soul master at close range!

With almost no time to react, the female soul master was pierced through the abdomen; she hadn't even realized what was happening, still pretending to offer the pastries!

She collapsed toward Liu Feng as her body lost its strength.

Liu Feng's eyes were cold; as far as "human traffickers" were concerned, he believed they deserved to die!

Especially since they had kidnapped him, he would show no mercy!

The male soul master was stunned, unable to process what had happened.

How could a six-year-old child have such sharp combat instincts?

He hurriedly spun his Black Handkerchief in the air, blocking the space between himself and Liu Feng.

The light arrow Liu Feng had fired was blocked by the Black Handkerchief.

"The little brat is actually a soul master?!"

"Damn it! No wonder he had resistance! Don't you move, or this uncle won't be so polite!"

The male soul master shouted, attempting to draw attention from outside.

Just then, a chorus of horse neighs suddenly erupted from outside.

Immediately following that, a burst of soul power and the sounds of battle broke out!

They had encountered a fight outside as well!

The male soul master was shocked, and before he could even speak, the Black Handkerchief buckled inward, forming a small dent from the impact of the light arrow!

He was a control-type Soul Elder; to be precise, his abilities were specialized in illusions.

In terms of defense, he could only rely on his soul power and his martial soul itself!

At such close range, he could not block the arrows of Liu Feng.

"Ran into a little menace!"

The male soul master complained bitterly.

Just then, the carriage came to a sudden stop, and due to the inertia, both Liu Feng and the male soul master tumbled in the same direction.

The male soul master lunged forward, his body landing flat on the Black Handkerchief.

Liu Feng fell backward, yet the Purple Star Spirit Bow remained drawn, "Swish, swish, swish...!!!"

"Ah...!!!"

The male soul master let out a miserable shriek as his Black Handkerchief martial soul was shot through with a large hole, the arrow piercing straight through his body.

He collapsed to the ground instantly, his eyes filled with terror, dying with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Liu Feng kicked him aside and prepared to exit the carriage.

At that moment, the rear door of the carriage opened.

A beautiful young girl with golden hair and green eyes revealed herself.

The girl's aura was pure, radiating a rich, holy light.

She was stunned the moment she saw the scene inside.

Liu Feng was just about to draw his bow, but upon smelling her aura, he hurriedly stopped.

The aura on this girl smelled wonderful!

Pure, warm, and vibrant—just like sunshine!

"Little brother, you..."

Ye Guyi was somewhat confused.

How were two adult soul masters lying on the ground?

She hadn't even made a move yet!

"My name is Liu Feng."

Liu Feng jumped down from the carriage.

He looked outside to see they were on a dirt road, surrounded by wilderness on both sides.

A dozen people were kneeling on the ground while a woman held a Holy Sword, threatening them to huddle together while loudly demanding to know where the imprisoned children were.

Ye Guyi had run into the large carriage to search for any potential enemies.

Liu Feng immediately understood; this pair, who appeared to be mother and daughter, had shown up here to intercept the Grand Auction House transport carrying the children!

Because the auras of the mother and daughter were very similar, they made him feel a sense of closeness.

"Little brother Liu Feng, who saved you? Where is that person?"

Ye Guyi asked, puzzled.

Liu Feng pointed at himself, "I killed them."

Ye Guyi first let out a giggle, instinctively disbelieving him, but then she saw the Purple Star Spirit Bow in Liu Feng's hand and her expression suddenly turned serious.

In particular, a purple soul ring hung around the bow arm of the Purple Star Spirit Bow.

"You... how did you end up in that carriage?"

Ye Guyi looked at Liu Feng with suspicion.

However, she did not suspect that Liu Feng was part of the Grand Auction House's group.

Liu Feng could like Ye Guyi's aura.

Likewise, Ye Guyi could naturally sense Liu Feng's goodwill.

It was a case of mutual affinity.

"...Guyi! These people say that this batch of 'goods' only had one child being transported!"

"And they even dispatched a Soul Emperor, so it should be true; this is a temporary transport convoy from the Grand Auction House, and the security is very high."

The mature, beautiful woman called out.

Ye Guyi responded and brought Liu Feng over to the mature woman, who was Mother Ye.

"Mom, this is little brother Liu Feng..."

Ye Guyi explained Liu Feng's situation.

Among the kneeling crowd, someone cried out with a mournful face:

"You two, I'm not trying to scare you, but this child is simply too important! They are worth four million Gold Soul Coins, and they have a great purpose! You have brought a catastrophe upon yourselves!"

Mother Ye hadn't said anything yet.

Ye Guyi snorted coldly and said, "A bunch of detestable human traffickers, and you still have the nerve to speak?!"

"In my opinion, you should all be..."

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!!!"

Suddenly, a series of purple light arrows shot out, accurately piercing through everyone's necks.

The expressions on the faces of the people kneeling on the ground had not yet faded before they all toppled over, lifeless.

"!!!"

Ye Guyi and her mother stared at Liu Feng in immediate shock, completely dumbfounded.

Was this something a six-year-old child could actually do?

Liu Feng put away the Purple Star Spirit Bow and said earnestly:

"He was telling the truth; I was bought by the Grand Auction House for four million Gold Soul Coins. If people find out, you will definitely be hunted down."

"..."

Ye Guyi blinked, then suddenly pinched Liu Feng's cheek hard.

"Hiss...!" Liu Feng was in so much pain he nearly rolled his eyes back.

Ye Guyi finally regained a hint of a smile, "You little brother, you're quite good at acting like an adult!"
