Chapter 296: Chapter 296 It Will Deprive Everything of Vitality

Xue Aoyu’s face was full of worry and said, "Yinfeng City has at least tens of millions of people. Where did this Soul-devouring Demon go, and who did it possess? How can we possibly find it?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly. This was indeed a very troublesome matter.

"Send word to all major hospitals, if they discover any unnatural deaths, report immediately. For now, we can only wait."

Duan Xinyuan said, "I will arrange it immediately!"

Xue Aoyu worriedly said, "I hope only one Soul-devouring Demon appears this time."

Duan Yunfan had passed out then; no one knew if more Soul-devouring Demons would show up later.

After Duan Xinyuan finished making phone calls, Qin Yi told him, "Notify the Liu Family and let them inform the Azure Dragon that I need to see him."

Duan Xinyuan and Xue Aoyu were shocked.

"You want to see the Azure Dragon Guardian God?"

Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "I have something very important to tell him."

Duan Xinyuan smiled wryly, "I really can’t help with this; I can only relay the message. The Azure Dragon Guardian God is such a figure, and hasn’t appeared in decades."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Just pass on the message!"

The Azure Dragon Sect had sent him the Azure Dragon Token; he needed to meet this Guardian God who watched over the region and find out what it meant.

After chatting for a bit, Qin Yi realized it was getting late. He had promised Xia Yanbing to return for dinner, so he planned to leave.

Xue Aoyu said, "Qin Yi, don’t tell Yiyi about Yun Fan getting hurt just yet."

Qin Yi nodded slightly; he already knew that Duan Yiyi didn’t know about Duan Yunfan’s injury. Otherwise, how could she still be home happily grabbing jewelry?

...

More than an hour later, Qin Yi returned home and smelled the aroma of food as soon as he entered.

The table was laden with dishes. Xia Yanbing had made extra to celebrate Qin Yi’s safe return and had even opened a bottle of red wine!

At the dinner table, Duan Yiyi curiously asked, "My dear, what did my dad want from you?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Just talked about the Heavenly Pit."

Duan Yiyi just responded with an "oh" and didn’t suspect anything. She eagerly helped Qin Yi with the dishes, "Dear, try this garlic sprout stir-fry I made."

"Hmm?" Qin Yi was surprised, not expecting Duan Yiyi to have cooked.

He tasted it, and it was quite good.

"Not bad, keep it up!"

Duan Yiyi immediately beamed like a student being praised.

Liu Yiren muttered softly, "I picked the vegetables, the beautiful lady cut the meat, you just used the spatula to stir it a few times, and the seasoning was added by the beautiful lady, it doesn’t really count as your cooking."

Duan Yiyi glared with gemstone-like eyes and tapped Liu Yiren on the forehead.

"Little brat, you can’t even eat quietly?"

Liu Yiren rubbed her forehead in grievance, mumbling silently, not sure what she was saying. Qin Yi found it amusing.

Liu Churan helped Qin Yi with a chopstick of food and casually said, "Honey, why have things like the Heavenly Pit been appearing one after another? It’s making everyone uneasy."

Previously, two Heavenly Pits had appeared, and the state could still suppress public opinion. But when the Heavenly Pit appeared at Yinfeng City School this time, so many students were present, it couldn’t be hidden.

Now, the internet was abuzz with talk about the sky, with all sorts of things being said. It’s making everyone uneasy.

Qin Yi said casually, "You all don’t need to worry, I will protect you."

Saying that, Qin Yi wasn’t actually at ease in his heart. He had to quickly find all the great medicine and teach Xia Yanbing and the others how to cultivate so that they could have the power to protect themselves.

The world is probably going to change soon.

These demons appearing one after another is already a very clear warning. Surely more and more demons will appear in the future, and the world is likely to face a catastrophe!

Qin Yi, in fact, was quite grateful. If it was in the past, with these demons appearing, he would have had no means to protect anyone at all. Luckily, he had opened the box and obtained the Eye of Righteous and Evil.

He also had to become strong himself; only then could he better protect those around him.

Unknowingly, the number of people around him was increasing, and Qin Yi felt the responsibility and pressure.

He must become strong, strong enough to withstand any danger.

After eating, the more people, the stronger the effort. The girls helped simultaneously and cleaned up quickly.

They watched some TV together and then said their goodnights to each other and went to rest!

That night, Qin Yi showcased his prowess until Xia Yanbing begged for mercy before letting her go.

...

The next day.

In the morning, Duan Xinyuan called and said they had found a victim of unnatural causes.

Qin Yi drove to the morgue of Renmin Hospital, where he saw the person Duan Xinyuan had spoken of.

It was an elderly man, about seventy or eighty years old, with skin bluish-green and rigid, wrinkles all over his skin.

Qin Yi frowned and said, "Seventy or eighty years is a long life; why is the death unnatural?"

Duan Xinyuan’s expression was grave, "But he was a robust guy, nearly thirty years old, just yesterday."

Qin Yi was full of surprise.

Duan Xinyuan said, "This person was a rebar worker on a construction site, very strong. His coworker said he was fine yesterday, but by this morning, he had become like this."

Qin Yi was shocked, "In a single day, a person aged decades, that’s indeed unnatural."

"Could it be the Soul-devouring Demon?"

Qin Yi said, "I’ve never seen a person killed by a Soul-devouring Demon, let me check and then we’ll see."

With that said, Qin Yi raised his hand, and a Purple Light enveloped the corpse. Suddenly, Qin Yi’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and he raised his hand to suck, drawing a wisp of black Qi from the corpse’s forehead, exactly the same as the black Qi he extracted from Duan Yunfan’s forehead the day before.

"It’s definitely the work of the Soul-devouring Demon."

Qin Yi closed his five fingers sharply, and the black Qi dissipated instantly.

Duan Xinyuan looked horrified, "If you hadn’t acted in time to save, would Yun Fan have ended up like this too?"

"Yes, but not so quickly. Duan’s son only had a trace of black Qi left by the Soul-devouring Demon, and besides, Duan’s son is a Qi Refiner and is not so easily deprived of life. This person must have been possessed by the Soul-devouring Demon to lose all life force in one day."

Even though Qin Yi said that, Duan Xinyuan was still left with lingering fear as the methods of the Soul-devouring Demon were strange and cruel—it could absorb a person’s life force, making them age rapidly in a short time.

Qin Yi’s gaze flashed slightly, "It’s been several days since something happened to Duan’s son! That means the Soul-devouring Demon has been around for several days. It is a greedy demon; certainly, this person isn’t the only one who died."

"Also, another feature of the Soul-devouring Demon is that it’s very lustful."

Duan Xinyuan was utterly confused, "The Soul-devouring Demon is just a wisp of Qi, how can it be lustful?"

"Indeed, the Soul-devouring Demon is just a wisp of Qi, but it can control its host. Perhaps I put it too narrowly; the trait of the Soul-devouring Demon is lust. Its greed is beyond imagination; it will try to deprive all life."

"The people most easily possessed by the Soul-devouring Demon are also those weak-willed and overly ambitious because such people are easy to control."

"Master, there’s another thing about the Soul-devouring Demon, it has a very strong adaptability and can quickly adapt to new environments."

The Blood Flood Dragon suddenly spoke up, nearly scaring Duan Xinyuan into jumping, his old face turned pale.

Qin Yi was also startled; in the morgue, suddenly hearing a third person speak was indeed quite shocking.
