Xue Ye Investigates Again

Faced with the possibility that other Soul Beast or Soul Master might break into the heart of the ' Fog Mountain ' after the four of them left and plunder all the rare treasures and herbs around the Ice and Fire Springs, Ling Yi certainly wouldn't leave everything to luck.

Soon, led by Ling Yi, the four returned to the site of the previous battle between "Demon Dragon Zixi" and "Medusa".

"Senpai, Ah Yin, Shelly,"

Ling Yi stretched out his hand and pointed to a spot in front of him that was soaked in dark red blood, saying, "Next, we'll dig out this soil and gravel that's stained with the aura of two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

As he spoke, he reached behind his back and took out three medals inlaid with blue gems, handing them to the three men. He continued, "Then put them away in this Storage Soul Tool. I will use this soil and gravel to decorate the mountaintop above, which should be able to stop some passing Soul Beast."

The three obediently accepted the medal-shaped Storage Soul Tool, while Dugu Bo glanced at Ling Yi's lower back with a strange expression.

If he remembers correctly, those three palm-sized "Starry Sky Fireworks" were also placed there, right?

Ah Yin and Yang Shelly didn't think too much about it. They took the two shovels from Ling Yi again, and decisively split up in two directions to get busy.

Dugu Bo also took a shovel, glanced at it, then looked up at Ling Yi, finally unable to hold back, and asked, "You still carry this thing with you?!"

Dugu Bo was speechless. Although Soul Master would try their best to buy some essential supplies for survival in the wild before entering the Soul Beast Forest, wasn't this shovel a bit over the top?

Are you planning to dig traps in the wild? Or are you planning to use them for tilling the land and shoveling soil when you settle down?

Looking at Dugu Bo's expression, Ling Yi felt a little amused that Dugu Bo's original cold, serious, and domineering style had been distorted by him, but he also understood that this was a sign that the other party had completely opened up to him.

Ling Yi casually shrugged, then conjured up a medal-shaped Storage Soul Tool, which he laid out in front of Dugu Bo, saying in a calm and ordinary tone, "Better safe than sorry."

Looking at the handful of storage medals, numbering at least five or six, Dugu Bo's eyes twitched involuntarily. "You brat..."

"Did they rob an ancient ruin that specialized in producing Storage Soul Tool?!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yi chuckled and shook his head. He casually tucked the storage medal in his hand into the small satchel on his left side and replied, "Of course not. I am not very talented. I just happened to be able to replicate the Soul Tool Technology for creating small Storage Soul Tool."

After a pause, Ling Yi continued, "Enough said, Senior. Let's hurry up and finish digging up the soil and gravel tainted with the aura of ' Demon Dragon Zixi ' and ' Medusa,' so we can get the mountaintop ready as soon as possible and return to Heaven Dou City."

After saying that, Ling Yi picked up the shovel in his hand, nodded to Dugu Bo, and walked in a different direction from Ah Yin and Yang Shelly.

Standing there, Dugu Bo stared blankly at Ling Yi's retreating figure for a long while before finally squeezing out two words through gritted teeth:

"Evildoer--!!!"

Using the lingering, tragic aura from the battle between the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as a guide, Ling Yi set up a soul-guiding array—the "Aura Preservation Soul Guidance Array"—around the summit of "Fog Mountain".

This was separated from the "Solid Image Retention Composite Soul Guidance Array Diagram" and obtained from a Soul Tool called "Image Recording Platform".

This Soul Tool functions similarly to the projector in Ling Yi's previous life. It records an image, then activates it with Soul Power, projecting the previously recorded image. The image quality is far superior to 3D or IMAX, and it even carries a certain degree of realism, as if the scene were truly reproduced.

Although the "Aura Preservation Soul Guidance Array" that Ling Yi separated could not manifest the images of "Demon Dragon Zixi" and "Medusa", it could preserve the aura of these two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for a long time, thereby deterring those passing Soul Beast.

As for human Soul Master, generally speaking, very few would be willing to provoke two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast at the same time.

Of course, to prevent anyone from stubbornly running up, Ling Yi also set up a "Image Recording Soul Guidance Array" around the inner perimeter of the mountain peak, along the cliff face of the valley.

The image captured in this "Image Recording Soul Guidance Array" is a barren, weathered rocky surface, exposed to the elements.

With such an image overlaid on the mountaintop, it would generally be enough to deceive unsuspecting passersby.

Of course, the arrangement of these two Soul Guidance Array is only a temporary expedient.

To truly enclose this place and turn it into our own private domain, we still need to make detailed arrangements later.

Putting aside other things, the poison array that Dugu Bo set up in the original work, which was powerful enough to threaten Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, was quite impressive.

In addition, Ling Yi will definitely design several Soul Guidance Array with a certain degree of lethality and set them up on this "Fog Mountain".

As the rain clouds dispersed and the last trace of orange-red on the western horizon disappeared, Ling Yi and his companions finally returned to Tian Heaven Dou City from Sunset Forest.

With Ling Yi's return, news about Ling Yi naturally reached the hands of those interested in the matter in the shortest possible time.

Soon, two invitations were sent out one after the other from the Martial Soul Temple and the Third Prince Xue Ye's residence, and were delivered to a small courtyard in the east of the city where Ling Yi and the others were staying.

In the small courtyard.

Ling Yi held two invitation letters in his hand, looking at the two messengers in front of him with his signature friendly smile.

These two are a senior deacon of the Martial Soul Temple, Three-Ring Battle Soul Elder, and a guard of the Third Prince's residence, One-Ring Battle Soul Master.

Although the former was Three-Ring Soul Elder and the latter was only One-Ring Soul Master, Ling Yi clearly had no intention of praising the former and belittling the latter. He treated them both equally and always had a smiling face.

This relieved the guard.

Although their master was a prince highly valued by Emperor Xue Rong, he was still just a prince at the moment, and was actually somewhat weak in terms of presence when facing the Martial Soul Temple.

Not to mention, the person they sent was a high-ranking deacon of Three-Ring Battle Soul Elder, while I was just a mere One-Ring Soul Master.

What pleased the guard the most was that the invitation from his third prince did not specify the exact time for inviting Mr. Ling Yi, but left it to Mr. Ling Yi to decide, and then he would go back and report to the third prince.

This point will not conflict with the time specified in the invitation from the Martial Soul Temple for tomorrow morning.

On the other hand, upon receiving the two invitations, Ling Yi immediately gave Xue Ye a thumbs up after just one glance.

As the third prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, does he really only have guards at the level of One-Ring Soul Master?

No one with normal intelligence would think that way.

However, Xue Ye still only sent this guard, whose strength should be relatively low, and the invitation letter stated that Ling Yi would decide the time for the meeting.

If it were only the former, it might be that Xue Ye looked down on Ling Yi and casually sent someone to make a show of it. But if the latter point is added, it is clear that she had anticipated the actions of the Martial Soul Temple.

Now, the ball is in Ling Yi Ling Yi's court; it's up to him to decide how to handle it.

Still writing; the next chapter should be posted before midnight.
