Seeing the mirror, Xiao Yefeng felt quite satisfied at first, but his expression quickly turned to disappointment. If the Light Slaughter Net couldn't even harm Zhang Chuanhai, how could it possibly injure a Demon General Level giant eye?
"Help! My ability is Star Inheritance!" At that moment, Kitagawa had already been pushed back to the center of the warehouse by Yuan Xun. However, refusing to give up, he released a bit of information once more, but it was cut short by Yuan Xun's obstruction. Yet this only confirmed that it was indeed true.
Xiao Yefeng was feeling anxious as well, but suddenly the Bagua Mirror in his arms sparked an idea. Without hesitation, he positioned his Bagua Mirror towards the ceiling mirror and turned on his flashlight to its maximum brightness. A beam of intense light shot from the flashlight towards the Bagua Mirror, which reflected the strong light onto the mirror above. The enhanced light from the Bagua Mirror transformed into a streak of golden Righteous Qi, instantly weaving four light nets in the air above the warehouse.
The gathered Light Evil shot directly towards the giant eye. In an instant, an eerie energy surged from its body, and the single eye became shrouded in a white mist. The giant eye was evidently severely injured by the Light Evil refracted by the Bagua Mirror. At that moment, Yuan Xun's originally fierce sword talisman faltered, and Kitagawa seized the opportunity to stab Yuan Xun in the abdomen with a swift strike. The blade pierced through him with a sharp sound. Yuan Xun clutched his eye with his left hand while slapping Kitagawa's right shoulder with his right palm.
With a crack, Kitagawa's shoulder bone shattered. Both of them staggered back for a moment. Yuan Xun glanced at Kitagawa before resolutely pulling out his Battle Blade, blood gushing forth immediately. Having sustained such severe injuries for the first time in ages, Yuan Xun's eyes turned red with rage; he was determined to kill Kitagawa.
However, from a dark corner, a chilling Light Blade spun towards him. Holding his wound with one hand, Yuan Xun swung his knife at the Light Blade. Little did he expect that upon contact with his Battle Blade—devoid of any power—the Light Blade would effortlessly sever it and continue its assault on him. In that moment, Yuan Xun channeled his Evil Qi and smashed down on the Light Blade with a palm strike, but he also received a long gash on his hand.
"Hmph! Consider yourself lucky, Kitagawa Kai! I will definitely devour your Shikigami! And that sneaky bastard who plotted against me—if I find out who you are, I won't let you off easily!" With that, Yuan Xun grabbed half of his Battle Blade and fled rapidly. Seeing this situation unfold, Xiao Yefeng knew he couldn't let him escape; hidden in the shadows, he neglected his position and unleashed seven Psychic Blades that rained down toward Yuan Xun.
Yet Yuan Xun was incredibly fast. After tossing away half of his Battle Blade to deflect four Psychic Blades, he kicked open the door just as three more Psychic Blades struck his back one after another, tearing through his clothing. Xiao Yefeng indeed caught sight of a black mole on him just as Yuan Xun vanished into the night.
Once Yuan Xun left, Kitagawa Kai collapsed onto the ground. Xiao Yefeng stepped out from the shadows and looked at Kitagawa Kai. "So, what’s your secret?"
"I..." Kitagawa hesitated upon seeing Xiao Yefeng's intent gaze. However, Xiao Yefeng condensed a dagger-shaped Psychic Blade about an inch long and pressed it against Kitagawa Kai's neck. "I am Huaxia People; you should know what happens to a Wokou when they fall into Huaxia People's hands—especially in hands like ours! You better come clean!"
"I... I! Actually, this is something only the core figures of each country can know," Kitagawa confessed under the threat of death. Hearing this revelation left Xiao Yefeng stunned; this information was simply too shocking. Even he needed a moment to calm down and analyze what he had just learned.
However, at that moment, Kitagawa Kai noticed Xiao Yefeng was distracted and thought about making a run for it. Yet, Kitagawa Kai was also quite cunning; he gathered his strength and actually managed to escape from Xiao Yefeng's grasp. Just as Xiao Yefeng intended to pursue him, he abandoned the idea of wasting his Psychic Blade upon seeing the people at the door.
At that moment, Kitagawa turned to look at Xiao Yefeng, but his body was already running toward the main entrance, which was the only exit. However, Kitagawa Kai did not expect a slender, fair leg to trip him just as he was about to flee. The owner of that leg struggled to pick up the remaining few centimeters of the Battle Blade handle that had been severed. In an instant, before Kitagawa could react, the broken blade pierced through his vest.
Before long, Kitagawa stopped struggling. Under Xiao Yefeng's Yin-Yang Eye, Kitagawa Kai's soul floated out, and simultaneously, his Shikigami emerged as well. Upon seeing Kitagawa Kai's Shikigami appear, Xiao Yefeng pinched his fingers and directly captured it, sealing it within the Bagua Mirror. However, right before Xiao Yefeng's eyes, two iron chains—one black and one white—wrapped around Kitagawa Kai's soul and dragged it away. Only Xiao Yefeng saw a pair of black and white high hats flash beneath Kitagawa Kai's corpse.
Yin Chai is here! Xiao Yefeng truly did not expect to encounter such a situation right before his eyes. The figure wearing a black high hat even glanced at him, clearly having witnessed Xiao Yefeng capturing the Shikigami. After that brief look, the Yin Chai took away Kitagawa's dissipating soul.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng felt more nervous than ever. He had just captured a soul in front of the Yin Chai and had been ignored. Now his clothes were soaked with sweat. The disappearance of the Yin Chai allowed Xiao Yefeng to breathe a sigh of relief; it seemed that the Shikigami was not their target or perhaps its existence fell outside their jurisdiction since issues regarding Shikigami were typically handled by Yurei. Regardless, Xiao Yefeng was terrified half to death but fortunate that the Yin Chai did not pay him any mind.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Xiao Yefeng walked over to Li Ji, who lay weakly on the ground. Indeed, it was Li Ji who had just killed the fleeing Kitagawa Kai. Perhaps due to sweat, Li Ji's makeup had turned into a muddy mess; she looked more like a ghost now. Nevertheless, Xiao Yefeng stood beside her and asked, "You were the one who poisoned Mei Baizhu, weren't you?"
"Yes! That's right!" Li Ji replied breathlessly. She had already lost her strength to stand but managed to rise for her life after killing Kitagawa Kai. However, her energy quickly depleted again, leaving her weakly on the ground as she struggled to respond.
Li Ji understood that her life depended on this seemingly young man; thus, she forced herself to answer his questions coherently for her survival. However, Xiao Yefeng said firmly, "I don't care why you killed Kitagawa; I only need you to promise me you'll hand over the real antidote to save Mei Baizhu! If you do that, I'll take you away! How about it?"
"Yes! Yes!" At this point, hearing Xiao Yefeng's words made Li Ji excitedly nod her head. If possible, she would have preferred to stand up and bow deeply in gratitude; however, all she could control now was her head.
After clearing all traces of himself, Xiao Yefeng picked up Li Ji and quickly left the warehouse. He tossed her into the back seat and drove away in the car he had arrived in.
On the way back, after discarding the vehicle and eliminating all traces behind him, he got into his own car that had come to pick him up. Inside sat Mei Yulou; upon seeing the woman Xiao Yefeng threw inside, Mei Yulou was momentarily stunned before reacting with surprise: "Wind! Is this Li Ji?"
"That's right; everything went smoothly—actually perfectly! How did things go on your end?" After calming his breath, Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Compared to the risks on your side, the other side is far too simple. With Yiyi around, the Zhu Family has likely become a thing of the past!" Mei Yulou said with a teasing tone, feeling quite pleased that his plan had succeeded and his son was safe after seeing Li Ji captured.
At that moment, Li Ji had regained some strength after breaking free from the Lustful Illusion Formation. However, Xiao Yefeng was sitting right next to him. As soon as he sensed that Li Ji could move, he glanced over at him. The moment Li Ji met Xiao Yefeng's gaze, his eyes filled with terror, and he fainted as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing Li Ji collapse, Mei Yulou asked in confusion, "What’s going on here?"
"Old man! It seems that although you possess Inner Force cultivation, you still lack experience in life-and-death situations!" Xiao Yefeng joked, a rare moment of levity for him.
"What do you mean by that?" Mei Yulou was puzzled but did not refute Xiao Yefeng. He knew it was true; from practicing the Mei Family's Ancient Martial Arts to now having Inner Force cultivation through sheer luck, he had engaged in sparring often. However, real life-and-death battles were something he had hardly experienced.
"Old man, this woman is a slave of the Yin Yang Master of Wa Country, or perhaps she is an Onmyoji herself—one skilled in using Illusions. Her abilities are not focused on combat but rather on confusing your consciousness. So whether your body can move or not is irrelevant; as long as you make eye contact with her, she can ensnare you! Just now, she clearly activated her Charm Technique, but I suppressed it," Xiao Yefeng explained.
"Is she really that powerful?" Mei Yulou looked at the unconscious Li Ji in surprise. However, with her makeup smudged and her beauty obscured, all he felt towards her was fear.
The car sped towards the Mei Family Old Residence in silence. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng closed his eyes to rest. He had just expended a significant amount of Divine Power to stop Yuan Xun by unleashing over ten Psychic Blades in quick succession. The last seven blades had been like a machine gun aimed at Yuan Xun and had drained seventy percent of his spiritual energy and Divine Power. The only reason Xiao Yefeng could easily overpower Li Ji—who excelled in Illusions—was due to her weakened state and the psychological fear she felt after being shocked by him earlier.
As they traveled, while recovering his depleted Divine Power, Xiao Yefeng found himself deep in thought about Kitagawa Kai's words before his death. After all, the information was shocking enough to overturn Xiao Yefeng's understanding of this world.
