Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

The innkeeper, chuckling as he chewed on a gold coin, said, "Sir, your friend didn't stay at my inn yesterday..."

Li Moxuan was stunned for a moment. "She's gone?"

Having traveled thousands of miles for the bounty, how could I possibly go back empty-handed?

"I don't know..."

The innkeeper shook his head. "Shortly after you left last night, she seemed worried about you and followed you out. She hasn't come back since, and hasn't even refunded the room fee..."

As he spoke, he handed a silver coin to Li Moxuan, saying, "I won't take advantage of your friend, so please return this silver coin to her..."

Li Moxuan's heart sank. "Why didn't you tell me last night?"

The shopkeeper was bewildered. He thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you didn't seem to ask me this last night, did you?"

Li Moxuan didn't say anything. He understood that something must have happened to Fan Tianyin, otherwise she wouldn't have left without refunding the room fee.

Fan Tianyin's Hell Path realm is at the seventh level of Great Scorching Heat, and her guardian spirit is Fan Kuai. If a real situation arises, the fighting will definitely be quite intense.

Li Moxuan hadn't sensed any fighting happening in Dajiang Street, so either she encountered a problem while Li Moxuan was fighting with Camilla.

Either she was tricked without her noticing, and that she did it because she was worried about herself...

If something really happens to her...

"Little sister..."

A slightly lewd voice came from the side. Li Moxuan was stunned for a moment and turned around.

A middle-aged man wearing a black vest, brown shorts and flip-flops walked up to Jin Lingzi with a smile.

He whistled at Jin Lingzi, "There's lots of delicious food in my brother's room too, wanna go?"

Li Moxuan glanced at him, seeing him as a weakling on the verge of a meltdown. He couldn't understand how such a melodramatic plot had befallen him.

But that's perfect, I've got a lot of anger to vent right now!

Jin Lingzi glanced at him and then cast a pleading look at Li Moxuan. This man exuded an aura of death, like a dead person, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Li Moxuan summoned the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd, walked forward with a cold face, and exuded a chilling killing intent that made people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"You brat, what are you thinking..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, he was instantly split in two, his body falling to the ground. Strangely, no blood flowed out.

He looks like an ordinary person on the outside, but inside he's like a dried-up corpse...

Is this a puppet? Is someone testing me?

Li Moxuan frowned. He was certain that the person testing him was most likely related to Fan Tianyin's disappearance, and also to the cannibal...

The other spirit masters who were having breakfast were shocked. That guy was an eighth-level scorching heat expert, and he was just easily killed?

They swallowed hard, silently went to the innkeeper to pay their bill, and hurriedly left the inn...

"Brother..."

A slightly immature voice came from the side, and Li Moxuan came back to his senses and turned his head to look.

The newcomer was a boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a red and black robe and armor, with a red cloak wrapped around his neck.

He had a horizontal sword hanging at his waist, short black hair, and a small tuft of white hair on his forehead, making him somewhat resemble Han Yuanqing...

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that Li Moxuan can sense that this young man's Hell Path realm has also reached the seventh level of Great Scorching Heat.

It is truly rare for someone of this age to reach the seventh level of intense heat in the hell realm.

In the past, Li Moxuan would definitely have considered recruiting him into the Greedy Camp, but now Li Moxuan didn't have time to pay attention to him.

He knelt down in front of the mummified corpse that had been split in two, his pupils glowing with golden light. He used the power of the Xihe Divine Pearl to carefully observe it, hoping to find some clues.

Hmm... there seems to be a medicinal smell mixed with a putrid odor...

The boy squatted down in front of Li Moxuan, gave him a thumbs up, and looked on with admiration. "Brother, you were so cool just now!"

Li Moxuan didn't even bother to look up at him. "You came all this way just to tell me this?"

"Well, let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Yijun. I was originally the Soul General of Yunlei Street, and now I am a wandering spirit possessor..."

Li Yijun didn't ask Li Moxuan's name; he pointed to the mummified corpse in front of him.

"Brother, this guy has been provoking many spirit mediums on Dajiang Street, and everyone dislikes him!"

"However, due to the rules established by Maringhai, spirit mediums cannot fight each other in Ooe Street, otherwise they will lose their bounty and be expelled from Ooe Street, so no one dares to touch him..."

Li Yijun looked relieved. "You just killed him instantly, which really helped everyone get revenge!"

"and many more……"

He successfully caught Li Moxuan's attention. "So, you were also provoked by him?"

"Uh……"

Li Yijun looked slightly embarrassed. "To be honest, he's been disgusting me for the past few days, and I've been putting up with it until I met you today..."

"Do you know where he came from?"

"do not know……"

Li Yijun shook his head and pointed to the shopkeeper, who looked terrified, not far behind Li Moxuan. "But he might know..."

Chapter 136: Jiangshan Villa

Seeing Li Moxuan approaching, the shopkeeper swallowed hard and hurriedly said with a forced smile, "Sir, it was my oversight that caused you a poor experience..."

With a pained expression, he took out the two gold coins he had just earned. "How about I return all the money to you? Please forgive this scoundrel!"

Money can be earned back, but if you anger this guy in front of you, he might just chop you up...

Li Moxuan didn't take the gold coins he offered. Instead, he took out a bag of gold coins and threw it in front of him. "Tell me about that guy's background, and all of these are yours..."

The shopkeeper admitted that Li Moxuan's concern for his friends touched him, and immediately decided to do his part.

"My lord, I don't know where that fellow came from, but I saw him always following General Ma..."

It's that Marouko again...

"Jin Lingzi, stop eating! Come with me to save people!"

System tasks are no longer important to him; he can simply move on if necessary.

But if Fan Tianyin is gone, even with the Void Pearl, she cannot be resurrected without finding her remains and spirit...

He realized that Ma Linghai was trying to use the rules of Dajiang Street to drive him away, but Li Moxuan didn't care about his so-called rules at all.

In other words, he's about to flip the table...

"Hmm...I'm not full yet..."

Although Jin Lingzi was reluctant, she still followed Li Moxuan because she could sense his eagerness...

"Brother, wait a minute, let me go with you! I know where Jiangshan Villa is..."

Li Yijun hurriedly chased after him, and he also noticed something was wrong. If Ma Linghai really wanted to get rid of the cannibal, why would he let his subordinates provoke these spirit beings everywhere?

Therefore, there's definitely something wrong with this Maringhai; perhaps the deaths of the previous groups of spirit hosts are related to him...

Soon, the three arrived in front of a luxurious mansion. Li Moxuan blasted open the gate of Jiangshan Villa, his pupils glowing with golden light as he began to scan the surrounding space.

Just then, a servant-looking man came out of the house. Seeing the three of them, he looked startled and turned to run away, shouting, "Someone's causing trouble..."

Li Yijun leaped forward, grabbed him, and threw him in front of Li Moxuan. "Tell me, where is Ma Linghai?"

"He...he's in the basement of the house. Please, adults, let me go! I'm just a errand boy..."

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Yijun waved his hand, showing no interest in harming a dead person...

"Thank you, sir!"

The servant got up and ran towards the door, but as he passed Li Moxuan, Li pressed down on his shoulder and said coldly, "Did I say you could leave?"

The servant's heart tightened; meeting Li Moxuan's golden eyes, he felt a sudden, inexplicable panic...

"My lord, I was just..."

"Ma Linggui!"

Li Moxuan interrupted him, tightening his grip, "Don't think you can fool me just because you're wearing a human skin..."

The servant's expression changed slightly, "Uncle Ma!"

A figure clad in tattered Sui Dynasty black armor, with a Taotie-patterned bone helmet covering his face, and exuding an eerie aura of rotting flesh mixed with incense, appeared out of thin air.

His arms had transformed into bone claws, which slammed down towards Li Moxuan...

"Li Siye!"

A figure clad in black and gold gleaming armor, with a bronze lion head on his left shoulder and a black cloak draped behind him, stood prominently beside Li Moxuan.

Li Siye held the Yunlei Mo Dao, which gleamed with bursts of lightning. The hilt was wrapped with dark red hemp rope, and the blade was engraved with the ancient seal script "Zhenxi".

He suddenly swung his blade, the longsword colliding with the bone claw. Lightning traveled along the bone claw to Ma Shumou, scorching him until he was charred and bruised. He hurriedly retreated.

Li Yijun drew his sword and stepped forward. "Brother, let me and Li Siye deal with this guy! You go find your friend..."

"Haha, are you looking for that girl?"

A burst of laughter rang out, and the servant in Li Moxuan's hand gradually deflated, turning into a mere skin... That guy had successfully shed his skin...

A cloud of black smoke billowed up beside Ma Shumou, and a figure emerged from it—a decrepit old man with white hair and beard.

Ma Linghai was dressed in a white robe, with his hair neatly combed into a topknot. His long beard reached down to his chest, and his face was thin and ruddy, giving him the appearance of an old man with a youthful face.

His hands were behind his back, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, occasionally flashing with a gluttonous hunger.

"Children are more to my liking than adults. That girl is quite strong; I originally didn't want to make a move..."

Ma Linghai adopted a detached, otherworldly demeanor, "But there's nothing we can do. Who told that lord to like eating women, and to his dismay, he just happened to have his eye on her?"

"I have to say, that girl was really something. Even after falling into the trap, she still managed to beat me so badly I couldn't even lift my head..."

He pulled up his sleeve, revealing a gruesome wound. "But luckily, that lord personally intervened and beat her half to death, hahaha..."

The Cloud-Shattering Halberd flew from Li Moxuan's grim face. Ma Shumou stretched out his bone claws to block Ma Linghai, but was knocked back several steps by the enormous force before stopping.
