Undergoing Tribulations in the Mortal World, Four Souls Scattered
"Yes! I understand. I will speak with your senior and have him handle this matter!" Yin Xi's master nodded and said.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Master!"
Not long after Yin Xi left, a large group of dark figures appeared in the valley.
"Quickly, search this place! There must be someone here!" a dark figure ordered his men.
Upon hearing this, the men in black dispersed and began searching the valley.
These men in black were cultivators from the Devil Race. Their cultivation levels were all quite high, having reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, and several of them had even reached the Golden Core Stage.
After searching the valley, they found a tomb there.
"Hmph, it seems that kid really is dead! He's really unlucky after he died, running into us!" a cultivator sneered.
Another cultivator added, "However, his soul is still intact, which makes it worthwhile for us to seize it. I suspect there's some treasure hidden within that kid's soul!"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Alright, let's smash up the grave, dig out this kid's soul, and then ransack the grave. If we find anything good, that would be even better." With that, one of them raised his hand.
The others raised their hands and said in unison, "We will definitely dig out this kid's soul!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cultivator launched an attack on the tomb.
"Bang-"
The grave instantly shattered into pieces, revealing a corpse with a necklace around its neck. The necklace emitted a faint blue light, which was very dazzling.
"This thing should be a Storage Ring! This kid has Storage Ring. We're rich!" The group of cultivators shouted excitedly upon seeing this.
"But what's his cultivation level? He actually possesses Storage Ring. These Storage Ring are amazing! Not only can they store items, but they can also store Law Technique, which will greatly enhance our combat power. We need to hurry and kill that kid, otherwise, if someone else gets the benefit, we'll suffer a huge loss!"
"That's right! Let's go kill that kid now and steal his Storage Ring." With that, the group ran towards Yin Xi's residence.
Yin Xi was discussing matters with the Daoist priest in his room when he suddenly heard a commotion outside. Yin Xi frowned and looked out the window. He walked to the window and looked out, just in time to see hundreds of masked men in black rushing in and surrounding his house.
"What... what's going on? Who are these people? Why have I never seen them before?" Yin Xi said blankly.
"Hehe, Benefactor Yin, these people are here to arrest you!" the Daoist priest said with a smile upon seeing this.
"They're after me? Why didn't I hear a thing beforehand?"
Upon hearing this, the Daoist priest smiled and said, "Benefactor Yin, you really have a bad memory. I know perfectly well that the Demon King sent someone to capture you. You almost died at the hands of the Devil Realm back then. How could I dare tell you? Wouldn't that put you in great danger?"
"Oh! I see!" Yin Xi said with a sudden realization.
After hearing the Daoist priest's words, Yin Xi thought about it and felt relieved. After all, he had indeed done something wrong to others. Now that they had caught him red-handed, it was naturally difficult to explain. Thinking of this, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Yin Xi's face.
Seeing Yin Xi's expression, the Daoist priest knew he had misunderstood, so he smiled and said, "Hehe, but I believe in Benefactor Yin, you will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. I'll pray for you here!" After saying that, the Daoist priest closed his eyes and chanted incantations to pray for Yin Xi.
Just as the Daoist priest was praying for Yin Xi, the men in black outside had already surrounded them.
Upon seeing this, the men in black drew their weapons, preparing to attack.
Seeing this, the Daoist priest opened his eyes and said, "Everyone, step back! I'll deal with them!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the Daoist priest's words, the cultivators all retreated to the side, no longer daring to continue their attack.
"Are you Yin Xi?" a man in black asked, looking at Yin Xi.
Upon hearing this, Yin Xi nodded and said, "That's right, I am Yin Xi. May I ask what brings you here?"
Upon hearing this, the man in black smiled and said, "You've been hiding all these years. I've waited so long to finally see you. It's all your master's fault. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have had to go to so much trouble!" He then turned his gaze to the Daoist priest and said, "Tonight we'll take him away. Once he becomes the prince consort of our Devil Realm, you can inherit the Devil Lord's throne."
"Hahaha! How utterly ridiculous! Do you think I care?" Yin Xi said disdainfully, looking at the man in black.
Yin Xi's words enraged the man in black. Their Devil Realm was the most powerful force, and Yin Xi, a nobody, dared to say he didn't care, which made him extremely angry.
"Fine, I'll arrest you first. Once you become the prince consort of our Devil Realm, you can beg me then!" The man in black sneered and waved his hand, signaling his men to restrain Yin Xi.
"Yes!" Upon seeing this, a cultivator quickly nodded, then leaped towards Yin Xi, preparing to capture him.
Seeing this, Yin Xi cursed inwardly and then attacked the other party.
"Bang!"
Yin Xi's fist struck the cultivator's chest hard, sending him flying and spitting out blood.
Having succeeded in his first move, Yin Xi immediately attacked the injured cultivator.
"Bang bang bang..."
Yin Xi unleashed dozens of punches in succession, each imbued with spiritual power. The punches struck the man in black, immediately knocking him to the ground, where he coughed up blood and was unable to stand up.
The other men in black were terrified when they saw this, and many of them retreated, preparing to flee.
Upon seeing this, Yin Xi became anxious and quickly gave chase.
"You all stay here! I'm going to kill all of you scum today!" Yin Xi roared.
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately fled for his life.
Seeing this, Yin Xi quickly gave chase and engaged in a pursuit with those people.
"Bang! Bang!"
The man in black was no stronger than Yin Xi; he was just an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. How could he be a match for Yin Xi? In no time at all, Yin Xi caught up with him and beat him to the ground.
"Pfft..."
The man in black was about to get up and continue his escape when he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
