Return Home
The eight tentacles of the demon were also divided into countless pieces by the attack. At this moment, the demon was still moving.
An eight-clawed evil demon spirit immediately overflowed from the pile of shredded flesh. Its soft white color looked extremely solid, and it wanted to flee immediately. However, it was still enveloped by the Yin-Yang Mirror. It tried its best but was still unable to escape.
"Spare me. As long as you spare my life, I'm willing to serve you as my master. In another hundred years, I'll be able to reconstruct my physical body. At that time, I'll be your servant," the demon cried out urgently, pleading with Xiao Yi.
However, Xiao Yi snorted coldly, "There's no lack of something like you. Soul Devouring Beast, I'll reward you."
Xiao Yi shouted.
In the next second, the Square Gourd flashed green light, and the black Soul Devouring Beast sprang out with a whoosh. It had never been so nimble before.
The two bean-shaped eyes were bright as they pounced on the soul of the demon. Its large nose sucked in fiercely, and it could not wait to suck all of the soft white soul into its own nostrils.
The pitiful demon did not even have the chance to cry out for mercy before it was completely sucked into the Soul-Devouring Beast's stomach.
"Burp, burp, burp!" The Soul Devouring Beast sucked in the extremely condensed soul of the vile being and actually let out three burps in succession. Then, as if it had swallowed too much, its pair of bean-like eyes choked so much that they stuck out its neck.
Seeing its cowardice, Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He also knew that the Soul Devouring Beast was born fond of eating souls, but its cultivation was pitifully low. In the demon world, where dangers lurked everywhere, it was already good enough to protect itself, let alone swallow souls.
Now that he had obtained the spirit of the giant demon at the Transformation stage, it was no wonder that it was so anxious.
"Take this Taiyi Pure Pill, and refine it along with the spirit of the demon. Then you can make a steady improvement of one level." With this, Xiao Yi flicked his finger, and a pill of Taiyi Pure Pill spurted out.
The Soul Devouring Beast simply felt joy descending from the sky. It hurriedly stretched out its claws to catch it. In the next moment, it flashed back into the Square Gourd and was busy refining it.
Xiao Yi didn't bother with it. He put away the Yin-Yang Mirror and sized up the mess the demon left behind.
Those eight tentacles were extremely tough and durable, to begin with. If they were complete, then they would undoubtedly be good materials for forging artifacts. However, they had already been broken into several sections by the Spirit Convergence Needle, so they were naturally useless.
The pile of flesh was completely useless. Xiao Yi shook his head in disappointment. Even after exhausting all his strength and suffering from the thousand poisons, he had only managed to get rid of a huge demon at the Transformation Stage. Who would've thought that he'd come up empty-handed? This disappointment wasn't small at all.
However, at the moment when he almost gave up hope, Xiao Yi found something like a black leather bag in the demon's broken flesh out of the corner of his eyes. At the moment, it was still complete, and it seemed to be alive. It gasped and moved.
"Ink Bag?" Xiao Yi's heart trembled. He couldn't help but recall the black mist that the evil demon had spat out that could cut off his Divine Awareness and the highly corrosive ink poison.
Xiao Yi knew that the evil demon had been able to set up 48,000 drops of Black Poison in the blink of an eye to form a large formation. From this, Xiao Yi could tell that this bag was the most valuable thing on the evil demon's body. Moreover, it had magic power. This thing was much more valuable than something like tentacles. If it was refined, it must be an extremely powerful magic treasure.
After thinking through this point, Xiao Yi was overjoyed. He gathered his True Energy and put the Ink Bag in front of him.
The pouch contained the remnant Divine Awareness of the evil demon. Xiao Yi knew that the black ink was tough to deal with, so he was not in a hurry to deal with it. Instead, he shook the pouch and threw it into the Fire Dragon Cauldron. Once again, he used the power of thunder and water to cleanse the Divine Awareness of the evil demon inside the cauldron.
After that, Xiao Yi immediately rushed out of the courtyard and found Qiangwei.
Qiangwei placed the workers in safe areas so that they could keep their lives. However, after tonight's shocking scene, these workers suffered too much, and their souls were miserable and teetering on the ground.
Qiangwei looked at Xiao Yi with embarrassment and didn't know what to do.
Xiao Yi knew that what happened tonight was definitely a good thing for these ordinary people to keep in their memories. On the contrary, it would disturb them for the rest of their lives. It was even possible for those who were seriously injured to have their souls damaged.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi shook his head, moved his body quickly, and hit the sleeping acupoints of more than a dozen workers.
More than a dozen civilian workers immediately fell asleep.
Xiao Yi's Divine Awareness ran out of his mouth. It split into more than a dozen strands and wrapped itself around the head of the civilian workers. He carefully erased all the memories that they had suffered tonight.
Once again, Xiao Yi used his Divine Awareness to search this area once more. It didn't take him much effort to find the trail of the young man who was the first to be knocked into the air by the evil demon.
The boy was fortunate. After being beaten into the air by the demon, he landed in a nearby pond. The accumulated ice began to melt at the end of the winter and early spring. Although it was chilly to the bone, he survived. However, there were many fractures all over his body, and he had already passed out.
Xiao Yi saved him back to the courtyard and did the same thing in order to erase the terrible memory of the pain tonight. After that, there was no time for them. He called Liu Zhen and asked the Special Operations Group to come and clean up the mess. Anyway, dealing with this kind of thing was the strong point of the Special Operations Group.
After dealing with all of this, Xiao Yi finally looked at Duanmu Kurong. After sizing him up for a while, he asked in a deep voice, "Have you dealt with the old matters properly? Why do you look so dejected? Did you run into any trouble?"
Duanmu's expression changed after hearing Xiao Yi's question. In the end, he lowered his eyes and said, "It's fine. I've settled it properly. From now on, I'll follow the Sect Leader's orders. There's no need to be unfaithful."
Hearing this, Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at Duanmu for a few seconds. Then, he smiled and said, "That's good. You can go back to Smarty Mountain now. The task of guarding the sect is in your hands. In addition, bring these spiritual herbs to Qin Changfeng from the Baicao Hall and ask him to lead his disciples to refine the pills as soon as possible. Give these Taiyi Pure Pill over to Mu Qingwan and let her give them to the talented disciples to improve her cultivation."
Duanmu did not expect Xiao Yi to let go of the topic so easily. He was slightly shocked and raised his head to look at Xiao Yi in surprise. Then, he immediately asked, "Sect Leader, aren't you going back?"
"I'm going back to Hai City. Just like you, there are some worldly affairs to deal with. When it's over, I'll go back to my sect soon." Xiao Yi said calmly. At the same time, he handed Duanmu the elixirs and dozens of Taiyi Pure Pill he brought from the Immortal Mansion.
"Oh!" Duanmu seemed to have something to say but stopped himself. Hesitating for a moment, he did not say anything more and immediately traveled across the void to carry out Xiao Yi's orders.
As Xiao Yi watched Duanmu enter the void, the smile on his face slowly receded. He knew that Duanmu's entry into the world this time wasn't as simple as he said. There must be some secret that he didn't want Xiao Yi to know. However, from his expression, it could be seen that the progress wasn't smooth and there was a possibility of failure.
However, he was able to return to Xiao Yi's side on his own and save him at the most critical moment. From this point, one could tell that Duanmu's mentality had undergone a mental change. Moreover, for Xiao Yi, this kind of change was a blessing, not a curse.
Since that was the case, Xiao Yi did not press him. He asked him what had happened, and he just needed to wait and see.
Not long after Duanmu left, the people of the Special Operations Group arrived at the scene. They saw the scene in a mess and the body of the giant monster. Even though they had seen a lot of things, they were still stunned. They could not believe that such a big monster had appeared in downtown. Moreover, this monster was killed by Xiao Yi alone.
Xiao Yi didn't want to say more. He simply told them the process and then left them to deal with the scene.
After pulling Qiangwei, Xiao Yi waved his hand and left, leaving the people behind him in amazement and admiration.
"Why would Mr. Xiao suddenly return to Hai City?" Qiangwei knew that once this matter was over, they would be separated. It was unavoidable for her to be unwilling to part with him, so she could not help but ask.
"Now that I've seen the huge monsters in the city, it's inevitable that I'm worried about the people in the city. Let's go back and take a look. Plus, it's been a long time since I've been back," said Xiao Yi.
"Of course. Just tell me if you need anything in the capital city. I will do it for you." Qiangwei raised her eyes, which were full of tenderness.
"Alright, I'll have to trouble you to plan for the auction." Xiao Yi said with a smile.
Then, he shook his hand and summoned the Skylaurel Crow. Without any delay, he sat on the back of the Skylaurel Crow, waved to the Qiangwei, and went straight to the sky.
She didn't expect Xiao Yi would leave so soon. Her heart was empty, and she looked at the sky. Until her Divine Awareness couldn't catch up with the figure, she returned sullenly to the North Alley.
On Xiao Yi's side, the capital city was not far from Hai City. With the speed of the Skylaurel Crow, they arrived in the sky above the city in a moment.
However, Xiao Yi did not return to Hai City directly. Instead, he went to the sky above the King Island in the three hundred sea islands of Hai City.
Last time, he was in a hurry to enter the Core Formation Realm and had used up all the Heavenly Flames Liquid. However, he couldn't refine the Fragrance Regenerating Pill for the old ape. On his return to Hai City, he could ask for another Heavenly Flames Liquid on King Island. What's more, the golden chief of King Island, Yun Qing, asked him to find out who was responsible for creating the fake black Yu Feiyan gourd.
Who would have known that the culprit had inadvertently become Xiao Yi's disciple? He had to come to explain himself to Yun Qing.
Looking down, the King Island was quiet, and no pavilions could be seen. Even if ordinary people came to the left side, they would only think of it as a desolate island hidden in the fog. In fact, this was naturally a deceptive trick.
Xiao Yi knew that there were extremely powerful restrictions on the island.
Without the passage token from the previous time, Xiao Yi could only separate a strand of his Divine Awareness and use Secret Voice-sending to communicate with people on the island.
