A Chance Encounter with a Reborn One, and a Token

Central Continent.

After breaking through to the Dao Soul Realm, Liu Yi brought Little Yellow to this land.

Along the way, one can enjoy the mountains and rivers, comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth, and temper one's heart amidst the mortal world.

He sensed that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was far more abundant than that of the Eastern Desolation.

However, the situation in the mortal realm is not much different from that in the Eastern Desolation.

Both were examples of poverty and backwardness in feudal society, where ordinary people struggled to survive on the edge of their circumstances.

Only those areas covered by Fairness System are undergoing radical transformation.

It was rapidly approaching the appearance of the mortal realm in the Eastern Desolation at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Whether it's because the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Central Continent Plains is more abundant, or for some other reason,

Liu Yi has recently encountered quite a few fierce ghosts, which are rare sights in the Eastern Desolation, making him a ghost-catching master on several occasions.

Since entering Central Continent, Liu Yi has not flown through the air, but instead walked the entire way, measuring this unfamiliar land with his footsteps.

As darkness fell and dark clouds pressed down, as if a storm was imminent, Little Yellow leaned closer and said:

"Master, it's getting dark and it looks like it's going to rain. We're in the middle of nowhere with not a village in sight. Why don't we spend the night in our Portable Daoist Sanctum?"

Liu Yi glanced around at the desolate, uninhabited mountains and fields, his steps unwavering, and said calmly:

"We came out here to travel the world and experience all things mortal; how can we hide in our Portable Daoist Sanctum just because we encounter a little rain?"

"Let's keep going forward. If we really can't find a suitable place to rest, then we can go in."

"Okay!"

Little Yellow agreed, but his tone carried a hint of helplessness.

It hadn't gained any insights along the way, but seeing Liu Yi's enthusiastic and seemingly fruitful appearance, it could only obediently follow along.

Suddenly, Little Yellow caught a glimpse of an abandoned temple standing ahead and immediately became excited, exclaiming:

"Master, there's a temple ahead. We've found a place to spend the night."

"Yes, we'll stay here tonight."

Liu Yi also spotted the temple, quickened his pace slightly, and walked towards it.

As they got closer, they discovered that there were already people inside the temple.

He pushed open the creaking temple door and saw seven people inside, two women and five men, roughly divided into three groups:

The four of them were dressed as traveling businessmen. One man and one woman were neatly dressed and looked like people from the world. There was also a beautiful and gentle woman in green clothes.

Although the woman in green had concealed her aura, he could still sense that she was both a martial artist and a system host.

Liu Yi smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Excuse me, everyone. It's getting late, and it looks like it's going to rain outside. I'd like to ask to stay here for the night."

As a traveling merchant, Ma Qing had seen this kind of thing many times over the years and immediately spoke up:

"You're too kind, young man. We just arrived too. Please come in; it looks like it's about to rain outside."

"Thank you, brother." Liu Yi cupped his hands in thanks and stepped inside, with Little Yellow following closely behind.

"Ah! A monster! Everyone be careful! Young man, watch out behind you!"

Ma Qing caught sight of Little Yellow, who was as strong as a calf, and his expression immediately changed. He exclaimed in alarm, "Warning!"

The others in the temple, upon seeing Little Yellow's calf-like figure, immediately changed their expressions.

The two martial arts figures reacted the fastest, immediately drawing their swords and staring warily at Little Yellow.

Su Yuxuan's expression instantly turned serious as she looked at Liu Yi walking in.

Others might not recognize Liu Yi, but she did, though she wasn't entirely sure.

After all, the world is vast, and there are quite a few people who look alike.

But when she caught a glimpse of Little Yellow behind Liu Yi, and then looked at his extraordinary aura, she had already made up her mind:

The person in front of me is Liu Yi.

She was both surprised and amazed, never expecting to encounter Liu Yi, a renowned and unparalleled genius, in this desolate and dilapidated temple.

You must know that Liu Yi's combat power is extraordinary. He once killed Void Return Realm expert in two moves. She had never seen such Celestial Person even in her previous life.

But in this life, there is not only Liu Yi, but also Liu Xuan, both of whom possess such astonishing combat power.

This situation is perhaps all thanks to the emergence of Fairness System, which has given those hidden geniuses in the city the opportunity to stand out.

While surprised, she also became more wary, quickly trying to figure out why Liu Yi was there.

Could it be... that he also came for that token? Otherwise, how could he possibly appear in this deserted temple by such a coincidence?

After breaking through to the Dao Image Realm, she originally intended to invite Bai Qianqian to come with her to find the token.

After sending a message on Microchat but receiving no reply, I immediately realized that the other person was probably in seclusion, cultivating in seclusion.

She had no choice but to arrive early on her own to scout the area and try to find any trace of the token.

Seeing the tense expressions on everyone's faces in the temple, Liu Yi immediately smiled and explained:

"Please don't panic, everyone. This is my pet, not some kind of monster."

It looks big, but it's actually just a stupid dog that grows big but doesn't grow smart.

When Little Yellow heard Liu Yi call him a stupid dog, he secretly rolled his eyes, but didn't dare to refute it at all.

He also had to deliberately put on a naive and silly look, looking like a silly dog.

Seeing Little Yellow's expression, Ma Qing was temporarily relieved and began to believe Liu Yi's words. He said with a hint of apology:

"I overreacted just now and disturbed everyone. I'm really sorry."

Seeing that Little Yellow was indeed simple-minded and harmless, the others gradually lowered their guard and temporarily believed Liu Yi's explanation.

"You flatter me, sir. I haven't even thanked you for reminding me yet."

Liu Yi led Little Yellow into the temple, found a clean corner, and sat down cross-legged.

As night deepened, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a torrential downpour began.

Inside the temple, everyone quietly ate their dry rations. Liu Yi sensed Su Yuxuan's occasional glances but didn't pay them any mind.

Since the other party is the system host, it is not surprising that they can recognize their identity.

Just then, the door of the dilapidated temple was suddenly pushed open, and a strong wind carrying rain poured in, causing the bonfire in the center of the temple to flicker.

Two figures stepped in, one a beautiful woman and the other a handsome scholar.

The scholar bowed politely and said, "My sister and I were caught in a downpour while traveling. We hope you can be kind enough to let us stay here for the night."

Ma Qing said generously, "Young man, don't be so polite. Your clothes are all wet, come and warm yourself by the fire."

Liu Yi watched as the couple walked towards the campfire next to Ma Qing, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He never expected that spending just one night in a dilapidated temple would lead to encountering two vengeful ghosts who had cultivated their demonic forms.

He immediately wanted to kill the ghosts, but at that moment, he caught a glimpse of excitement in Su Yuxuan's eyes out of the corner of his eye. She looked as if she had been waiting for these two vengeful ghosts to appear.

A sense of curiosity arose in his heart, so he suppressed the urge to take action and decided to see how things would develop first.

Little Yellow transmitted a message to Liu Yi through Divine Sense: "Master, those two vengeful Sha Qi have a very strong malevolent aura. They must have killed many people."

Judging from their appearance, they seem to have ill intentions towards us. Should I take care of them?

Liu Yi gently shook his head and replied Divine Sense, "Don't rush. Let's hold back and observe how things develop."
