Traveling Together! Zi Ji Must Be Taught a Lesson!

Ye Jiaolong, the mother of Ye Guyi, searched the corpses thoroughly before taking Liu Feng and Ye Guyi to depart the area on horseback.

The Grand Auction House is a massive power that spans the entire Douluo Continent.

Though the mother and daughter dared to hijack a convoy to rescue a child, they had no desire to invite unnecessary trouble.

Ye Guyi guided her horse, riding close to Liu Feng, and chatted with him out of curiosity.

"Little Brother Liu Feng, you are actually worth four million Gold Soul Coins?"

"Who sold you? Uh... sorry."

Realizing she had spoken out of turn, Ye Guyi tapped her own lips.

Liu Feng shook his head, "It's nothing, just a... bad woman!"

Thinking of what Zi Ji had done, the goodwill he had accumulated toward the Underworld Thunder Douluo vanished in an instant.

Although, under normal circumstances, Zi Ji would have surely snatched him back after selling him and would never have let him get hurt.

But if there were no accidents, then an accident had occurred.

Furthermore, being sold off—regardless of the reasons or the safety net—was something Liu Feng found difficult to forgive.

He certainly wasn't going to rendezvous with Zi Ji; he would let that bad woman fret for a while!

He would file a fierce complaint against her once he returned!

"Little Brother Liu Feng, do you have any plans? If you have nowhere to go, why not come with us?"

"We punish evil and promote good, traveling the world with our swords! Just like how we saved you earlier, it's very fulfilling!"

Ye Guyi said eagerly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Feng felt a flicker of longing, but he still felt that safety was more important.

To him, there was no place safer than the Star Dou Great Forest.

The astronomical price of four million Gold Soul Coins offered by the Grand Auction House was proof of his precarious situation.

"Guyi, don't go encouraging Liu Feng."

Ye Jiaolong smiled faintly and said, "Our cultivation grows through punishing evil and promoting good, especially since we must fight against Evil Soul Masters."

"For Liu Feng, it is simply too dangerous."

"Besides, if it were ten thousand years ago, with Martial Soul Hall suppressing them, the nobles would never have dared to be so arrogant..."

Ye Jiaolong glanced at Liu Feng's pointed ears and shook her head slightly.

Ye Guyi let out a cold snort and began to complain.

"It's all the fault of Sea God Tang San and his lot! They destroyed Martial Soul Hall; otherwise, how could those nobles be as rampant as they are now? We soul masters would certainly be freer!"

Liu Feng looked at Ye Guyi in surprise. Thinking about it, it made sense; ten thousand years ago, Martial Soul Hall launched a war that swept across the world.

Although the direct cause was Bibi Dong's ambition, the fundamental reality was a confrontation between the soul master faction and the noble faction.

Martial Soul Hall failed, so the lives of commoner soul masters had become difficult.

Most obviously, the major empires now each possessed more than one Titled Douluo!

Even talented students had to obtain permission from the nobility if they wanted to enter Shrek Academy.

Ten thousand years ago, Martial Soul Hall coerced empires and kingdoms into providing subsidies for ordinary soul masters.

Now, only top-tier powers like Shrek Academy could squeeze resources from the empires, but the value was certainly not much.

Otherwise, Huo Yuhao wouldn't have been reduced to selling grilled fish for a few copper soul coins.

As for the various monsters and demons like Evil Soul Masters emerging, that went without saying.

Ye Guyi chattered on; having just made a friend in Liu Feng, she had endless words to share.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, our Angel Clan swept away almost all Evil Soul Masters. Even if they possessed evil martial souls, they dared not fall into depravity, or else they would be locked away in the Capital of Slaughter."

"And now? Not to mention being open and aboveboard, they're like toads—always croaking and disgusting people for no reason!"

"We came here to track the trail of a group of Evil Soul Masters."

Hearing this, Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat. Evil Soul Masters?

The Underworld Thunder Douluo he and Zi Ji had encountered was definitely an Evil Soul Master, and very likely a Titled Douluo!

Ye Jiaolong was only a Soul Saint; if they ran into the other party, they would surely die!

Liu Feng was very fond of and grateful to the pair for risking their lives to save him, and he did not want to see them get hurt.

"Sister Guyi, why don't you go somewhere else? When I was with that bad woman, I saw an Evil Soul Master. He might be a Titled Douluo, and he was terrifying..."

Liu Feng offered a warning, lost in thought.

In the original story, Ye Guyi appeared acting alone, which meant that Ye Jiaolong must have met with an accident.

In the current situation, Ye Jiaolong was highly likely to be in danger.

Ye Jiaolong and Ye Guyi both froze, looking at Liu Feng in astonishment.

How could a six-year-old child know about Titled Douluo?

Ye Guyi smiled triumphantly as a golden holy sword suddenly appeared in her hand. She tapped the blade lightly, producing a melodious chime.

"Little brother Liu Feng, you're worrying for nothing. In front of our Angel Clan, any Evil Soul Master is nothing more than a ghost beneath our blades!"

Ye Jiaolong glanced at Liu Feng in surprise, becoming even more curious about his identity.

"Liu Feng, rest assured. We are tracking a group called the Six Ghosts of Cangshan. As for the person you suspect is a Title Douluo, we will avoid him."

Liu Feng frowned and insisted, "It's still too dangerous..."

Ye Jiaolong added, "Evil Soul Masters are reclusive by nature and rarely gather. Don't worry, we won't act rashly. We'll only make plans once we're certain there are no stronger individuals present. Does that put your mind at ease?"

"Liu Feng, where is your home? Or do you have a place to rest? Shall we take you back first?"

As soon as Ye Jiaolong said this, Ye Guyi's small face stiffened, and she looked at Liu Feng with a hint of reluctance.

Liu Feng fell silent. This place was not too far from the Star Dou Great Forest.

If he were dropped off at the Star Dou Great Forest, he would basically face no danger thanks to the Breath of Nature.

However, it would take three to five days to go back and forth. If Ye Jiaolong and her daughter returned and encountered the Underworld Thunder Douluo again, what would their fate be?

Liu Feng's gaze hardened; he did not want this mother and daughter to die!

Besides, it would also make Zi Ji worry for a while longer!

Relying on his perception of auras, he could definitely detect the direction of the Underworld Thunder Douluo in advance.

The evil aura on that person was like a massive source of pollution; it could not escape his senses.

Combined with the Breath of Nature, he would certainly be able to avoid him ahead of time.

"I will go with you to deal with the Six Ghosts of Cangshan!"

Liu Feng said earnestly.

Ye Guyi immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise, "Yay!"

"This... this is dangerous. Liu Feng, you are still young. Even with your high talent, you are only a one-ring Spirit Master."

Ye Jiaolong said, looking troubled.

Liu Feng didn't speak; he directly activated the Breath of Nature.

Then, right in front of the mother and daughter, he quietly "vanished."

They immediately wore expressions of astonishment.

From their perspective, it was as if Liu Feng had truly hidden himself from the world!

On the other side, at the Kaiyan City Grand Auction House.

All the high-level officials had been suppressed to the ground by Zi Ji. Surrounding the plaza were groups of soldiers and Spirit Masters, with the corpses of several powerful Spirit Masters lying on the ground.

They had attempted to surround and attack Zi Ji, but had all been easily slaughtered by her.

Zi Ji looked coldly at the remaining officials, gritting her teeth.

"Speak! Where did you take little Liu Feng?!"

"..."

The high-level officials looked at each other, many of them scared witless.

Zi Ji's aura was far too terrifying, and her killing was ruthless and brutal—it was hard to even leave a whole corpse behind!

However, Zi Ji was currently more panicked than anyone else.

She had actually lost Liu Feng all because of some shiny Gold Soul Coins!

At this moment, she was filled with immense regret, her heart twisting in agony.

Especially since her protective reverse scale had also lost its connection; she had no idea what was going on.

"That child... should have been transported to Suotuo City..."

One high-level official finished, trembling.

Zi Ji's figure flashed, transforming into the massive Hell Demon Dragon in mid-air. As she flapped her wings to fly away, a massive torrent of black flames erupted like a volcanic eruption, crashing down.

"Ah...!!!"

A chorus of screams immediately rose from the ground.
