Chapter 87

Very soon, Zhan Yi carried Xuan Ming to the villa. Revisiting the old place, Zhan Yi couldn't help but have many thoughts. It was here that he obtained the ability of the Yin-Yang Five Elements Soul Refining Furnace, and it was also here that his life began to change from what it used to be.

After entering the villa, Zhan Yi threw Xuan Ming to the ground and began to search him. After stripping Xuan Ming completely, he finally found a few items: a fly whisk in Xuan Ming's hand, a piece of soft armor he was wearing, and a token. As for other valuables, Zhan Yi didn't even think about them and put them in his own pocket.

Zhan Yi wasn't interested in the fly whisk; he just wanted to destroy it to prevent it from falling into the hands of evildoers. However, he was very interested in the soft armor. When he kicked Xuan Ming for the first time in battle, the old man didn't suffer any harm, clearly thanks to this treasure. If he wore it himself, he wouldn't even have to fear bullets. Thinking of this, Zhan Yi couldn't help but smile wickedly.

As for the token, Zhan Yi thought it was probably a symbol of identity for some organization, and it was very likely the one Xuan Ming belonged to. This was something Zhan Yi was very worried about. Through Zhao Guang's incident, he knew that killing a person was easy, but if he provoked an organization, the trouble would be much greater. Most importantly, Xuan Ming was a cultivator, and if he had a powerful organization behind him, it wouldn't be easy to deal with.

After searching Xuan Ming, Zhan Yi looked at him lying naked on the ground and kicked him in the dantian, directly destroying his true essence: "Ah..."

Xuan Ming, in pain, quickly woke up.

"Hehe... Xuan Ming, how do you feel now?" Zhan Yi asked with a wicked smile, looking at Xuan Ming's pained expression.

Xuan Ming tried to use his energy but found his dantian in excruciating pain, and he couldn't muster any energy at all. He glared at Zhan Yi and said, "You... You've destroyed my true essence. I will kill you, boy."

"Sure, get up and kill me. But can you tell me how you're going to do it?" Zhan Yi puffed out his chest and said smugly.

"Zhan Yi, you not only took my treasures but also destroyed my energy. You will not die a good death," Xuan Ming said, taken aback, then gritted his teeth.

"Ah... You're so unoriginal. Every time it's the same line. I just want to beat you up when I hear it," Zhan Yi sighed, then kicked Xuan Ming in the groin.

"Ah... It hurts so much." Xuan Ming soon wailed.

"Now you know who won't die a good death. You scoundrel, not only do you brutally kill innocent lives to practice evil arts, but you also make it hard for me everywhere. Most hateful of all, you left some coded torture videos here, making it impossible for me to see anything. It's unforgivable." Zhan Yi, seeing Xuan Ming rolling on the ground, felt a surge of old and new grievances and kicked him a few more times.

"Ah... Oh, stop, I'm going to die." Xuan Ming, kicked more and more painfully, finally couldn't help but beg for mercy.

"Hmph, if you want me to stop, tell me where you keep your money and what other treasures you have. If you don't, I'll cut off your little JJ right now," Zhan Yi said, having vented most of his anger after kicking for a while.

"Alright, I'll tell you... my money..." Xuan Ming, no longer able to hold out, quickly told Zhan Yi where his safe was.

Following the directions, Zhan Yi quickly found the safe in the villa. When he opened it, he was stunned. Xuan Ming was really damn rich. There were millions in cash in the safe, along with some gold and jewelry. Zhan Yi didn't hesitate to take everything.

However, after dealing with the valuables, he found a strange key at the bottom of the safe. The key was entirely white, felt cool in his hand, and Zhan Yi sensed a special energy flowing inside it.

This piqued his curiosity. He had originally wanted to absorb Xuan Ming's soul energy and memories, but thinking of his various crimes, he decided to torture him a bit and went straight to Xuan Ming.

"Hehe, I've almost finished with your money. Now I have a few questions for you. The first one is, what is this key for?" Zhan Yi asked with a smile.

"I... I don't know. I got this key by chance. I only know it's different, but I never found out its use, so I put it at the bottom of the safe," Xuan Ming said, still in pain, wincing as he spoke.

"Is that so? Then tell me, how did you get it by chance?" Zhan Yi asked, not quite believing him.

"This... I got it after killing a cultivator." Xuan Ming, seeing Zhan Yi about to kick him again, quickly said.

"Great, you old scoundrel, you actually kill and rob." Zhan Yi, hearing this, kicked Xuan Ming in the groin again.

"Ah... I won't do it again, Zhan Yi, please don't hit me anymore."

"Alright, that kick was for the cultivator you killed. Now, tell me, what is this token for?"

"This token is also something I got by chance," Xuan Ming said, looking aggrieved.

"Damn, how many people have you killed?" Zhan Yi, angry, kicked Xuan Ming again.

"Ah... Zhan Yi, please let me go. If you let me go, I'll tell you the secret in my basement." Xuan Ming's groin was already bloodied and bruised.

"Secret... what secret?" Zhan Yi, who was about to kick again, stopped upon hearing Xuan Ming's words.

"You... You must promise to let me go, or I won't tell you even if I die," Xuan Ming said firmly, gritting his teeth.

"Alright, speak now, and I'll let you go," Zhan Yi nodded.

"Then take me to the basement, and I'll show you," Xuan Ming's face showed a hint of excitement.

Zhan Yi hesitated for a moment but, seeing Xuan Ming's half-dead state, quickly carried him out the door.

Following Xuan Ming's directions, they arrived at the basement. Zhan Yi noticed that Xuan Ming had put a lot of effort into the basement in the past month. Not only had the mechanism to open it changed position, but there were also many more traps inside.

However, after descending into the basement, Zhan Yi found that the Yin-Yang Five Elements Array was missing, and there were no significant changes otherwise. On the shelf, there were more bottles and jars, containing the bodies of infants and human organs.

Zhan Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he asked Xuan Ming, "Alright, you can tell me your secret now."

"Sure, I'll show you now." Xuan Ming, hearing Zhan Yi's words, gritted his teeth and stood up, walking step by step to the shelf with the bottles and jars. He then slapped the shelf a few times and recited a few incantations.

"Now I can tell you my secret, Zhan Yi. This is my escape place, ha ha..." Xuan Ming laughed loudly.

Zhan Yi was startled. Just as he was about to grab Xuan Ming, the bottles and jars on the shelf suddenly exploded, and a red light accompanied by black smoke shot out, directly hitting Zhan Yi.

Zhan Yi quickly dodged, but when he looked again, he found that Xuan Ming, who had been next to the shelf, had disappeared.

Zhan Yi searched for a long time but couldn't find Xuan Ming. He couldn't help but regretfully say, "Damn, you cunning old scoundrel, you tricked me. Next time I meet you, I'll make sure you don't die a good death."
