"Fellow Daoist, I wonder if the two of us have offended you in any way?" Zhang Yifei asked the strange man in black robe in confusion.

"Hahaha, offending cannot be considered as offending. However, the two of you are the main purpose of this trip of mine. You, a white-clothed brat, actually dares to compete with this protector for the Soul-nourishing Wood. This item is very important to my Soul Refining Sect, so it is necessary for me to take it back. " The black robed man spoke in a sinister tone, as if he had long treated the Soul-nourishing Wood as his own item.

The strange man in black paused for a moment and looked at Zhang Yifei, then continued, "And you little kid, don't think that I can't see your real body. Using a single puppet and finding two helpers to trick this old man, if I didn't capture those two and the puppet in the marketplace, I would have caught up to them long ago. Speaking of which, my main purpose for coming here is your kid surnamed Zhang, I didn't think that it would be me who would find you first. "Gaga ~ ~"

An even more unpleasant laughter came out from the black-robed man's mouth. The two of them had their own thoughts right now.

Yuan Tian finally figured out a few suspicious points. It turned out that Zhang Yifei had abandoned the two Vitality Recovering cultivators to attract attention to buy time for himself. Zhang Yifei was nervous. He was the opponent's main target. It seemed like he had figured out his secret. These old freaks!

"I heard that the Soul Refining Sect Sect Master has sat down with four great protectors. May I ask which one you are?" Zhang Yifei forced himself to calm down and began to inquire the other party's identity.

"Junior, you're quite interesting. You're about to die yet you still want to test this Protector's abilities." I'm not afraid to tell you all that this protector is the third protector of Soul Refining Sect, Black Robe. " The strange man in black revealed his identity without a care. He did not care about the other's goal because he believed that the two of them were within his grasp.

Yuan Tian could not help but frown, Soul Refining Sect was also a first-rate power, their overall strength was ranked in the top five, and this sect's cultivation technique was extremely strange, especially restraining people's souls to increase their own strength, it was definitely a great sect in the evil way.

"You are also an infamous person, why did you find trouble with us juniors?" Zhang Yifei asked.

"Heh heh, I'm afraid you know the reason better than anyone else, don't you? Right now, I reckon that all of the great powers in the entire Southern Domain have already sent out experts to find your whereabouts. The Little West Maitreya Palace that your great powers have established in the Western Region is one of the top great powers, come to my Southern Domain for no reason at all. Hmph, your Zhang Family has already been busy with Southern Domain for dozens of years, so it's fine to hide it from others, but it's impossible to hide it from so many powers. " The strange man in black robe said with a sinister voice.

Yuan Tian was really frustrated this time. He actually agreed to guard Zhang Yifei's safety without knowing anything at all. He felt wronged, but that Nine Unicorn Pendant was indeed a rare treasure. This experience also let Yuan Tian understand his inexperience, but the most important thing right now was to escape from this place.

"We've carefully prepared for many years to always act in a low-key manner, so how did you manage to find out our goal and whereabouts?" Zhang Yifei was still unwilling to give up as he saw the secret leak.

The black cloaked man said scornfully, "If you want people to not know, do nothing but yourself. Do you think that my Southern Domain experts are all made of paper? Hmph, you came to the market this time in order to exchange for a sufficient amount of Spiritual Stone s, and wanted to open the teleportation formation at a very long distance to return to the Little West Maitreya Palace.

"Alright, that's enough. Hand over your lives, and I believe that your souls will obediently return the information I need. " The black-robed man was getting impatient. He was preparing to kill the two of them.

The aura of the black-robed man suddenly surged and the enormous pressure from his Later Period of Core Formation instantly swept towards Yuan Tian and Wu Yun. The surrounding Souls became even more violent as they struggled towards Yuan Tian and Zhang Yifei.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan Tian, this is a great calamity. The two of us don't need to suspect each other. Only by joining hands will we have the chance to escape this place." Zhang Yifei transmitted his voice to Yuan Tian.

Yuan Tian nodded slightly. Seeing this, Zhang Yifei was secretly delighted.

Without saying anything else, Zhang Yifei patted the Storage Bag and an item appeared in his hand. The item looked like a short stick and it emitted a faint yellow light. As Zhang Yifei slowly infused his elemental energy into the short stick, it immediately lit up.

"Go!" Zhang Yifei yelled.

That short stick automatically flew up and turned into a spear in the air. The spear was completely golden in color and was about ten feet long. The tip of the spear was extremely sharp. The lance drilled into the souls, piercing through them one by one. Soon, hundreds of souls were killed and turned into specks of light that disappeared into the sky.

However, there were tens of thousands of these souls, and they were always killed. At that moment, Zhang Yifei was in a stalemate with the souls.

When Zhang Yifei took out his magic tool, Yuan Tian did not stay idle either. He took out a sword from the Storage Bag that was emitting an astonishing aura. The moment the sword came into contact with the souls, they disappeared into thin air like snow, as if they were the nemesis of the souls. Soul fragments were constantly being shattered by the sword qi, their imposing manner unstoppable.

"It's actually a Glazed Evil Killing Sword. Isn't this sword one of the great treasures of the Heavenly Mystery Sect? How could it be in the hands of this kid? " He could not help but think, "Who is he, for him to be given such a treasure at the Foundation Establishment stage, I have to finish this battle quickly, or else if I'm late, something might happen. If I provoke those old monsters with Heavenly Mystery Sect, it won't be fun."

Thinking of this, the black cloaked man increased the power of his Life Soul Array. The Life Souls became even more berserk and rushed towards Yuan Tian and the other man without a care for their lives.

The black-robed man saw that the two of them were both protected by treasures, and that the situation was tense. For a moment, he couldn't do anything to the two juniors. He couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. He wasn't the only one looking for this kid surnamed Zhang. If someone came to look for him, then all his efforts would have been in vain!

As Yuan Tian operated the array, he could feel a weird energy slowly surging through his body. It was the aura that made him feel danger.

"I've underestimated you two juniors. I don't want to play with you two anymore. Let's end this quickly." Summon the evil spirits and enchant them with your evil arts! " Black Robe shouted.

Yuan Tian and Zhang Yifei could see that the black-robed man's technique was strange and dangerous. Both of them chose to retreat simultaneously.

The yellow light on the short stick expanded and broke through the layers of Soul Shadow. Zhang Yifei was the first to escape out of the formation. He didn't stop at all as he rode the light and escaped into the distance. Yuan Tian wasn't slow either. The Glazed Evil Killing Sword flew on its own, killing a path of blood before fleeing for its life.

Yuan Tian and Yuan Tian's escape were in a triangle with the person in black robes. That way, the person in black robes could only chase after one of them.

As expected, the man in black chose to chase after Zhang Yifei. Yuan Tian also thought the same way, because Zhang Yifei was the main target. However, the next moment, Yuan Tian was dumbfounded because another black-robed man was chasing after him. Yuan Tian didn't have time to think about anything else as he tried his best to escape.
