The Taoist slowly absorbed all of the cold soul energy and waved his hand, causing Xiao Pengbo to shake the bell again. He drove the souls that seemed to have been sucked dry back into the middle piece of Soul Tree.

The Taoist was completely focused on meditating. He began to refine the Soul Strength that he had just absorbed. A couple of breaths later, he laughed out loud and leapt up.

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations! Your cultivation has improved again!" Xiao Pengbo immediately laid down on the ground and began to flatter his master.

Xiao Yi saw that the Taoist's aura was released at this moment, and he was actually at the Late-stage of the Qi-refining Realm. He had almost stepped into the Foundation-building Realm. No wonder he was so crazy and was eager to break through with the soul as the guide.

"Haha, kid, you have good taste. It's worthwhile for me to take you to stay. Back then, you and your mother ran away from home and were at the end of your rope. If it wasn't for me taking you in, I'm afraid you would've long since become those wandering ghosts, right?" That Taoist laughed.

Xiao Pengbo's eyes rolled as he shouted, "I'll never forget the favour you've shown me, Master. But, but..."

"But what?" The Taoist shouted.

Xiao Pengbo hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and continuously kowtowed. However, he persevered and said, "I only hope Master will give me a chance. I don't want my mother to become the furnace."

"Humph, you're so cruel to your grandfather and aunt. Why are you so filial to your mother? It's her blessing that she can be the furnaces of several elders in the sect. Don't mention this again. If you mention it again, don't blame me for reciting the spell to make you suffer from the brain-devouring pain of the corpse worm." The Taoist eyes emitted a cold light and said in a sharp voice.

"Yes, yes, this disciple doesn't dare!" Xiao Pengbo's face was covered in a cold sweat as he kowtowed like a chicken pecking on rice.

"Humph, brat who doesn't know what's good for him. Go and take a look and see if the brat with a Pure Yin Body is here. If he really has a Pure Yin Body, he would at the very least be able to match up to all the souls in this place." The Taoist's eyes were filled with greed.

"I'll go and see!"

"Remember, use the Soul-Extracting Skill I taught you. After the soul is extracted, bring it to me. There are too many people, but it will arouse the suspicion of that guy. Just do it by yourself," The Taoist said in a low voice.

"Yes! I have already become familiar with it. Master, you can rest assured." Xiao Pengbo took a few steps back before he dared to stand up and leave the room.

As soon as he went out, his face was full of resentment. Obviously, these days, he had been tortured by the Taoist.

Xiao Yi had seen everything in this place and withdrew his Divine Awareness. Seeing that it was almost the time Xiao Pengbo had agreed on, he walked out of the shadows and headed back to Huichun Hall.

At the sight of Xiao Yi's arrival, Xiao Pengbo's face immediately lit up with joy, but he tried his best to suppress his emotions. He greeted Xiao Yi and said, "You're here? In order to treat your illness, I've rejected all of the people that I've booked for tonight's appointment."

"Thank you, doctor!" Xiao Yi made a bow with hands folded in front.

"Come, come to this treatment room!" Xiao Pengbo immediately went out and let Xiao Yi enter another private room with no windows.

Xiao Yi didn't ask any questions as he walked in. Taking advantage of Xiao Pengbo's turning around, he flicked his fingers and aimed at every corner of the secret chamber. A Yu Feiyan seed that was extremely small popped up, and a soundproof formation was set up to prevent energy fluctuations from entering the secret chamber.

"Sit on the bed and leave the ground with your feet!" Xiao Pengbo ordered. At the same time, Xiao Yi saw that he had already taken out a set of tools for soul extraction, including the Soul-Drawing Needle, Soul-suppressing Silk, Soul Sealing Incantation, and Soul Storage Pot.

How could Xiao Yi allow him to use these things on himself? Never mind anything else. Once the Soul Sealing Incantayion was placed on his forehead, he wouldn't be able to escape even if he had the ability.

"I told you to sit on the bed!" Seeing that Xiao Yi didn't take any action, Xiao Pengbo couldn't help but urge him again.

However, in the next second, Xiao Pengbo stared in shock at the young wooden man in front of him. A green light flashed across his face as it transformed into the face of the person he hated the most, the person he didn't want to see the most.

"Xiao, Xiao Yi, what, how could it be you..." Xiao Pengbo cried out in alarm. He could sense an ominous foreboding.

However, Xiao Yi's eyebrows were tightly knitted together. Step by step, he pressed toward Xiao Pengbo and coldly said, "Xiao Pengbo, I didn't expect you to hide here and do such a heartless thing."

Xiao Pengbo naturally knew that he wasn't Xiao Yi's match. He tried his best to retreat while shouting, "It wasn't me. I had no choice either. A corpse worm crawled into my nose. If I dare to disobey them, they'll torture me to death. They're members of the Yinfeng Sect. They're numerous and powerful. I didn't have a choice."

"Yinfeng Sect again?" Xiao Yi was shocked. Recently, the Yinfeng Sect was very active. In a short period of time, he had already fought with them several times.

However, in the face of Xiao Pengbo's sophistry, it was impossible for Xiao Yi to listen to his nonsense. He pressed, step by step, and said, "Then what about your aunt and grandfather? Were you the one who was forced to frame them?"

"This..." Xiao Pengbo didn't know what to say, but he quickly rolled his eyes. He reached out and took out a Soul-devouring Talisman from his pocket and threw it at Xiao Yi. He shouted, "Go to hell. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become this."

With a light movement of Xiao Yi's body, he easily dissolved the Soul-devouring Talisman that Xiao Pengbo had thrown out.

"You, you, what are you doing?" Xiao Pengbo saw his trump card as weak as an egg against a rock in front of Xiao Yi. He had already retreated to the side of the wall and had nowhere else to retreat to.

"Me? Of course, I want justice for all the people you hurt. I don't know if your ugly soul is suitable for your master's soul refining?" Xiao Yi said coldly.

"No, don't, don't kill me! We're family!" Xiao Pengbo knelt down in front of Xiao Yi and pleaded loudly.

Xiao Yi didn't want to listen to such a scum, how could he be willing to listen to his begging? With a thought, a small King Kong Wood Sword shot out and pierced into Xiao Pengbo's chest with a "puff" sound.

Xiao Pengbo rolled his eyes and his body twitched. He didn't say a single word before he died.

Xiao Yi glanced at his corpse in disgust, then turned around and strode out of the secret chamber.

However, Xiao Yi hadn't expected that the corpse bug in Xiao Pengbo's head wasn't at all a corpse-devouring worm.

With a movement of his body, Xiao Yi transformed into Xiao Pengbo's appearance. Furthermore, his cultivation had also passed through the Hidden Star to become exactly the same as Xiao Pengbo.

He suddenly used his Divine Awareness to communicate with Wu Peng, who was hiding outside the Huichun Hall, and indicated for them to activate the Five Star Soul Protection Array.

Then, Xiao Yi moved lightly and came to the door of the Taoist. He gently knocked on the door.

"Come in!" The Taoist shouted in a low voice.

Xiao Yi held the Soul Storage Pot in his hand and entered the room that was full of the stench of corpses.

"How's it going? It's done?" The Taoist stared at the Soul Storage Pot with his eyes shining. He immediately withdrew his cultivation method and stood up.

"It's done!" Xiao Yi held the Soul Storage Pot and walked toward the Taoist.

When the evil priest heard that Xiao Yi had succeeded, he was overjoyed. He reached out to pick up the pot in Xiao Yi's hand.

However, just as his hand was about to make contact with Xiao Yi, he suddenly sensed a bitingly cold fist wind.

The Taoist's body was solidly hit on the chest in the next second by Xiao Yi's powerful punch. The opposite wall instantly hit his body, making a muffled sound.

It was also because Taoist's cultivation realm was extremely high, his bones extremely sturdy, which was why he didn't die on the spot.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted, "You're not Xiao Pengbo. Who are you?"

The green light on Xiao Yi's face flashed for a while, and then he turned back to his original appearance. His cultivation at the middle stage of the Qi-refining Realm was also exposed.

The Taoist's face changed dramatically, but he didn't recognize Xiao Yi. However, his heart sank when he saw Xiao Yi's cultivation in the middle stage of the Qi-refining Realm.

Xiao Yi suddenly released his Meridian Mantis and said coldly, "You used evil methods to harm people in my town. You deserve to die!"

"Kid, you and I have never known each other and should not meddle in each other's affairs. Why do you want to harm me?" The Taoist snapped, with his mouth bleeding.

"Because you've captured my family for soul refinement!" Xiao Yi pulled the Meridian Mantis in front of him, pointed to him and said in a low voice.

"Your family? Which one? I'll let them go immediately." The Taosit knew that his injuries were not light, so he tried to stall for time.

But Xiao Yi sneered and said, "All the people in the world are my family. If you hurt them, I'll let you be doomed forever."

"You, who the h*ll are you?" The Taoist's eyes were full of fierceness.

"I'm a doctor!" Xiao Yi said indifferently. After finishing his words, he pushed the mantis away and went straight to the Taoist.

"Boy, don't you understand the principle that not press an enemy at bay? Otherwise, don't blame me for a life-and-death struggle," the Taoist said with hatred. He grabbed the copper bell in his hand, smiled sinisterly, and shook it.

However, with just a shake, his face changed dramatically.

That was because the copper bell was the magic treasure that the Taoist used to command all living beings. Whenever a person's soul heard the bell ringing, he would do all kinds of things according to the instructions of the evil way.

However, at this moment, the copper bell seemed to have been restrained by an invisible force, as it became completely helpless.

"Five, Five Star Soul Protection Array! You, you actually stepped down from the Five Star Soul Protection Array in advance, preventing me from mobilising the soul? You, who exactly are you?" The Taoist felt an aura of death in an instant.

"I've said it before, I'm a doctor!" After Xiao Yi finished his words, the mantis carried an invincible strong wind and went straight to the Taoist.

The powerful techniques of the Taoist have been used on the souls. It was unexpected that someone had unknowingly placed a Five Star Soul Protection Array in this marketplace. This was just like a poisonous snake having its fangs pulled out. He had lost the ability to retaliate. Additionally, that punch from Xiao Yi had caused him to be seriously injured.
