Watching their personal belongings being rummaged through, the patrons’ anger toward the Spirit Hall grew, though they suppressed it.
Soon, the search team reached Xiao Yu’s table.
When the searchers saw Xiao Yu and Zhu Zhuyun, who was attentively serving him, they were first stunned by Zhu Zhuyun’s beauty and figure.
Then, a sense of inferiority and jealousy rose in their hearts.
Why does this guy get to have such a perfect beauty serving him?
Hmph, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you!
With jealousy fueling him, the searcher spoke coldly and impatiently.
"Kid, hand over your storage spirit tools!"
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun immediately sneered.
"Who do you think you are, daring to search us?! If you don’t want to die, get lost!"
The searcher was momentarily stunned, then immediately summoned his spirit, with one white and two yellow soul rings appearing around him. He spoke coldly.
"We, the Evil spirit master search team, are acting under the orders of Red-robed Bishop Grandmaster Yu to investigate Evil spirit masters. If you dare refuse to show us your storage spirit tools, you must be Evil spirit masters yourselves! Even if you’re not, you’re definitely connected to them! Otherwise, why would you act so guilty?! Hey, come over here! Take them away!! We’ll interrogate them thoroughly back at the Spirit Hall!"
As he spoke, the searcher wore a smug smile.
You might have some backing, but in front of the Spirit Hall, no force matters!
Once we’re at the Spirit Hall, let’s see if you can still act so arrogant!
"Hmph, a mere Soul Elder dares to act so recklessly here? You’re asking for death!!"
Seeing the other party summon their spirit, Zhu Zhuyun also released hers.
Instantly, as two yellow, two purple, and one black soul ring appeared around Zhu Zhuyun, the pressure of a Soul King-level spirit master bore down on the Soul Elder.
The searcher, who had been smirking, was stunned to see that this stunningly beautiful woman was also a Soul King with a perfect soul ring configuration.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
At that moment, Xite, the team leader, noticed the commotion and quickly walked over.
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun’s perfect soul ring configuration, he was momentarily shocked but quickly regained his composure. After all, they represented the Spirit Hall—the most powerful organization on the continent. What force could possibly rival them?
Thus, Xite spoke coldly.
"Young lady, perhaps you have some backing, but we represent the Spirit Hall—the strongest force on the continent. Today, we’re acting under the orders of Red-robed Bishop Yu Xiaogang to investigate Evil spirit masters and protect ordinary spirit masters.
Your actions are a provocation against the Spirit Hall! Given your youth, hand over your storage spirit tools. If there’s nothing related to Evil spirit masters, we’ll let this matter go!
Otherwise, though I’m only a Purple-robed Bishop with limited authority, Red-robed Bishop Yu Xiaogang and Elder Ju Douluo, Yue Guan, are nearby. If they get involved, this won’t be as simple as inspecting storage spirit tools!"
Hearing Xite’s words, the patrons were shocked.
They hadn’t expected Red-robed Bishop Yu Xiaogang to be nearby.
No wonder these Spirit Hall members dared to act so arrogantly.
Zhu Zhuyun sneered at Xite’s threat.
"Hmph, what a Yu Xiaogang, what a Spirit Hall! You dare to justify rummaging through spirit masters’ storage spirit tools so shamelessly.
If this continues, won’t the Spirit Hall decide who’s a Evil spirit master and who’s not in the future?!"
Hearing Zhu Zhuyun’s sarcasm, Xite’s expression froze. He realized things weren’t going as planned.
He hadn’t expected this girl to be so bold.
Even after he explained the stakes, she remained defiant.
It seemed force was necessary. Though she was a Soul King, they had one Soul King and two Soul Ancestors. They might still be able to subdue this arrogant girl!
"Young lady, since you won’t listen to reason, come with us to the Spirit Hall branch. Let Elder Yu speak with you."
With that, Xite waved his hand slightly.
Several figures quickly approached and released their spirits.
Soon, two Soul Ancestors and five Soul Elders, with their white, yellow, and purple soul rings, stood ready, staring intently at Zhu Zhuyun.
Zhu Zhuyun glanced at their mediocre soul ring configurations and sneered.
You think you can take me on with such trash soul rings?
You’re asking for death.
Just as Zhu Zhuyun was about to act, Xiao Yu, who had been quietly eating, grabbed her arm.
Feeling Xiao Yu’s grip, Zhu Zhuyun retracted her spirit and sat back down.
Xite, seeing this, thought the man had realized the severity of the situation and decided not to provoke the Spirit Hall, thus stopping his maid to seek reconciliation.
Before Xite could finish, Xiao Yu, without even looking up, uttered a single word: "Scram."
Instantly, the Soul King, two Soul Ancestors, and six Soul Elders were overwhelmed by the sheer pressure of that word.
Their spirits and soul rings dissipated in an instant.
The immense pressure crushed them, causing them to vomit blood and collapse to the ground, their faces filled with terror.
This young man didn’t even lift a finger, yet he suppressed all of us with a single word?!
His strength far surpasses that beautiful woman’s!
With Xiao Yu’s display, the previously murmuring crowd fell silent, too shocked to speak.
They stared at Xiao Yu in awe, unable to believe that such a young man could suppress a Soul King, two Soul Ancestors, and several Soul Elders with a single word.
Who is this prodigy?!
In the end, faced with the deathly aura emanating from Xiao Yu, Xite didn’t dare say another word.
He scrambled toward the exit, crawling and stumbling.
The others, seeing their leader flee, also quickly ran away, not daring to utter a word.
Soon, the once-arrogant Spirit Hall search team fled the inn like stray dogs.
Their current state was a far cry from their earlier arrogance!!
