The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

April 2nd, sunny, night.

"Lin Xiaoman, why aren't you leading the search team? What are you doing wandering around with Wang Baole?"

Inside the office, Ye Li noticed that the two had deviated from the planned route and left the designated area, so she immediately asked them a question.

"Sister Li, we're searching."

Lin Xiaoman's loud and boisterous voice rang out.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ye Li frowned: "The Blood Luo Palace people are lurking in the city, committing crimes everywhere. We are already short-handed, so you must not do anything reckless."

"Sister Li, don't worry, I guarantee you'll be amazed." Lin Xiaoman glanced at Wang Baole again, full of confidence.

"Keep the camera focused on the two of them. Report any unusual activity to me immediately."

Ye Li rubbed her temples, her head aching, and then turned to look at the situation of the other people.

After the death of the Blood Fiend Venerable, the people of the Blood Luo Palace did quiet down for a while, but not long after, they started making trouble again.

Malicious incidents have been occurring one after another without any warning, and have recently intensified.

"Report!"

"Another incident of vital energy being drained has occurred! It happened just five minutes ago!"

"Investigate immediately!"

"Report: Target cannot be locked onto, cannot be tracked, has no aura, appears no different from an ordinary person!"

boom!

Ye Li slammed her fist on the table in anger. "Damn Blood Luo Palace! They must have used soul-based methods again!"

After saying that, she turned to Dr. Wang and asked, "Has the testing equipment from Lingtai Institute not been developed yet?"

Dr. Wang said with a grim expression, "The soul is inherently mysterious, and there are very few cultivators who have mastered soul techniques. We still need time."

Ye Li frowned: "But judging from the current situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait until then."

"Look at Lin Xiaoman and the others!"

Just then, someone pointed at the screen and suddenly shouted in surprise.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and were shocked to find Lin Xiaoman hiding in a tree, letting Wang Baole wander around the streets.

Unexpectedly, as Wang Baole walked, he was followed by people one by one, gradually forming a crowd that cornered him.

Their expressions were very strange; they gradually went from indifference to excitement, fanaticism, and restlessness.

Lin Xiaoman had seen that look in her eyes on TV; it was the passionate gaze between a man and a woman.

"These guys are suspicious!"

"No...they are the ones who were affected by the Blood Luo Palace's Soul Technique!"

Ye Li and the others' eyes widened in surprise.

Why is this happening!

Why are these people so fanatical about Wang Baole?

"Lin Xiaoman, how did you manage that?" Ye Li asked impatiently.

"I don't know."

Lin Xiaoman mimicked Wang Baole's previous tone, without any intention of taking credit, "Anyway, I'll just do as you say, using Wang Baole as bait."

"As long as he wanders around outside, those who absorb vital energy will come looking for him."

"Now it seems that's really the case!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked and immediately held Wang Baole in higher regard.

Does this smell really good?

"What's even more outrageous is that the people he attracted were all of the opposite sex."

Dr. Wang pushed up his nose-tip glasses, the lenses reflecting a bright light, and the way he looked at Wang Baole completely changed.

"We may have underestimated this guy's potential from the very beginning."

"There must be something special about him, which is very likely related to vital energy."

At this moment, cornered against the wall, Wang Baole crossed his arms and, facing the group of strangely behaving people, cried out weakly and helplessly, "Don't come any closer!"

With so many people attacking at once, even the strongest kidneys couldn't withstand it; he was afraid.

"Quickly, act swiftly, take control of this group."

Ye Li quickly gave the order for all personnel stationed within the city to gather and surround the crowd.

then.

Special chains developed by Lingtai Institute were quickly fastened to their bodies, sealing their spiritual energy and rendering them all unable to move.

Because they were just ordinary people, they did not encounter much resistance during this period and completed the task smoothly.

"A total of one hundred and eight characters, which coincides with the number nine."

After the statistics were completed, everyone present showed expressions of relief.

In this way, all the contingency plans left by the Blood Luo Palace in the city were wiped out.

"When we get back, give this guy a second-class merit award and promote him to first-class rank."

A rare look of joy appeared in Ye Li's eyes, and she took the opportunity to upgrade Wang Baole.

Dr. Wang quickly nodded, "That's about right, he's worth the price."

"I protest!"

Lin Xiaoman raised her hand, expressing strong dissatisfaction, "He's only been with Lingxiao for a short time, how come he's already at the same level as me?"

Ye Li hit the nail on the head, saying, "If you cultivate more diligently and advance to the Golden Core stage, I'll give you the Pillar-level."

Lin Xiaoman immediately deflated, "Then forget it. With this time and energy, I could have reached Diamond rank by now."

In today's world, those who can break through to the Golden Core stage are all incredibly ruthless individuals.

Ye Li glanced at her. "Wake up. With your skill level, you're only good enough for Gold."

Lin Xiaoman: o＞_＜o

Instantly, everyone burst into laughter.

Ye Li smiled faintly. Since the Blood Luo Palace set its sights on Qingcheng, they had rarely relaxed like this.

……

……

Yanzhou, the Xu family.

"My son is dead."

A gaunt figure stood before the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall, his eyes bloodshot and sinister, radiating a chilling aura.

"Father, your grandson is dead too."

Suddenly.

Xu Yanzhao's expression turned ferocious, and his voice became hoarse like a vengeful ghost, echoing into the depths of the ancestral hall.

The words fell.

Boom!!!

From the deepest part of the ancestral hall, a violent tremor erupted, and a thick fog surged out.

Immediately, the black mist transformed into a figure with deathly white hair, who slowly stepped out of the passageway.

This person was none other than Xu Songyan, the only Golden Core cultivator and Supreme Elder of the Xu family.

He usually sat in meditation to cultivate his soul, his mind as still as a deep well, indifferent to all things in the world.

But at this moment, those eyes, which had been silent for a hundred years, were completely filled with a blood-red, cold light.

There was no surge of spiritual power erupting from his body, but he spread out a divine soul pressure that crushed the entire secret realm.

Heaven and earth stood still, and the sound of the wind vanished.

All the Xu family members in the valley felt a stinging pain in their minds and their bodies stiff and cold.

Xu Songyan glanced indifferently at the spirit tablet. Its breath was gone and its bloodline had disappeared, which meant that Xu Jingchen was completely dead.

He raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through the clouds and mountains for miles, locking onto the direction of Qingcheng.

"Father, the Xu family has been out of the public eye for a long time, and people outside no longer take us seriously." Xu Yanzhao knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse.

"Kill my grandson, behead my retainers."

"Regardless of background, reason, right or wrong, they deserve to die!"

next moment.

Xu Songyan's figure disappeared from the spot and flew towards Qingcheng.

The Xu family has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years; how could they have been so humiliated?

Could it be that I haven't even made a move, yet Ling Xiao's people are really treating me like an easy target?

Don't forget, you yourself are a Golden Core cultivator! A veteran Golden Core cultivator who entered this realm two hundred years ago!

The Xu family did not receive the respect they deserved, and he was furious and enraged. Someone had to pay the price for this.

The prestige of the Xu family must not be compromised.
