"What's going on? Could the warmth just now be..." Hua Ya stared blankly at Yi Shuihan's back, which was so close to her, and was quite surprised that she had reacted that way just because her hand was touched by Yi Shuihan's hand.

No, it's probably because it was the first time a boy held my hand that I had that feeling, and it's a perfectly normal reaction.

"You're here to see me? I remember I only offended one family in the capital. Are you an accomplice hired by the Zhong family?" Although it was a question, Yi Shuihan spoke with certainty.

Late stage of Qi Refining, quite impressive cultivation level. Anyone else would have been in serious trouble, but unfortunately, they ran into me!

"I can't even see through your cultivation level. You must be very wealthy! You also have treasures to conceal your cultivation level." Yi Shuihan looked like an ordinary person, but Ge Yang had already decided that Yi Shuihan was a cultivator, so he didn't think of him as an ordinary person.

There are only two possibilities for not being able to see through someone's cultivation level: either the other person's cultivation level is higher than one's own, or they possess a treasure that conceals their cultivation level. Ge Yang naturally assumed that Yi Shuihan was the latter.

No matter how hard he tried, he never imagined that the young man in front of him was actually a much stronger expert than himself.

Indeed, if Yi Shuihan were truly a Nascent Soul cultivator, he might appear so young. However, this would mean that Yi Shuihan is an even more powerful genius than him.

Ge Yang himself was a genius that appeared only once in a thousand years, and he was confident that no one could cultivate faster than him, so he did not consider the possibility that Yi Shuihan was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even Ge Yang himself didn't possess a treasure that could conceal one's cultivation level, so Ge ​​Yang's gaze towards Yi Shuihan was filled with greed.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected gain. Kid, just surrender obediently and hand over the treasure that hides your cultivation level, and you won't have to suffer." Ge Yang said calmly, but the hint of joy that flashed in his eyes told others that he was not as calm as he appeared.

Hua Ya was baffled by Ge Yang's words. At this moment, she realized that Ge Yang's target was not her, but Yi Shuihan, who was clearly an ordinary person. How could Ge Yang describe him as a cultivator with a treasure that concealed his cultivation?

“Old Demon Ge, he is someone my grandmaster has taken a liking to. You’d better not touch him, otherwise, if you anger my grandmaster, he will kill you. My grandmaster is a great master in the Nascent Soul stage.”

"God Transformation Stage?"

Ge Yang's expression changed. He was also very wary of those at the Nascent Soul stage. If what Hua Ya said was true, and someone at the Nascent Soul stage made a move, he really wouldn't be able to do anything.

In the past, Ge Yang would have given him face and remained unmoved by Yi Shuihan. But this time was different. With the 2% of the wealth given by Zhong Aiguo, he could go directly abroad and wouldn't be afraid of this so-called Nascent Soul stage cultivator catching up with him.

"So what if he's a Nascent Soul cultivator? If he really comes here, I'll turn around and leave. But you think you can scare me with just a title? I, Ge Yang, am not someone who can be easily intimidated."

After Ge Yang finished speaking, he took out a black flag and muttered something to Yi Shuihan. Then, black mist emanated from the flag and enveloped an area of ​​about 100 meters in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 238, They're all good kids!

"What happened? Why can't I see it all of a sudden?"

"Why did the sky suddenly turn dark?"

"I'm blind, I can't see!"

There weren't many pedestrians around, but there were also quite a few, about twenty or thirty people shrouded in the black fog, and exclamations of surprise immediately rang out.

Ordinary people were naturally flustered and panicked when faced with this sudden change.

But after just a moment, the sounds suddenly subsided and fell silent.

"Oh no, this is that old thief's Black Demon Banner. It is said that he forged it with the blood of a thousand people and dozens of vengeful ghosts. Its power is unpredictable. It can not only summon the vengeful ghosts to fight, but also release a mist with a bewitching effect. This black mist is that mist."

Being a special agent, they knew a lot about Ge Yang and immediately recognized the origin of the item in Ge Yang's hand, explaining its function.

"What should I do! I can't hold on much longer." At this moment, Hua Ya's hands were emitting flashes of white light, each flash dispelling some of the surrounding black mist. In just a short while, she was already covered in sweat. Clearly, this move was extremely difficult for her.

Hua Ya was extremely anxious, but she found that Yi Shuihan was just looking at her curiously, without any sign of being in danger. She was immediately furious. He had clearly dragged her into this mess, yet he was so indifferent. Didn't he see that she was almost exhausted?

"Hey, are you even a cultivator? If you're really hiding your cultivation level with a treasure, then stop hiding it and hurry up and take out the treasure to help me!"

After Hua Ya finished speaking, she felt that she was also grasping at straws in her desperation. Without looking at Yi Shuihan's reaction, she continued to think of a solution.

At this moment, a soft laugh came from Yi Shuihan's mouth. To Hua Ya's astonishment, Yi Shuihan seemed to radiate a divine light. He stretched out his hand and gently waved it, and the surrounding black mist dissipated at an extremely fast speed, just like a mouse encountering a cat.

In just a few breaths, the black mist completely disappeared, and Ge Yang was seen again.

"No way!! He... he..." Hua Ya murmured, completely unable to believe that Yi Shuihan had done all this.

Regardless of what she thought in her heart, feeling the vast and boundless magical power emanating from Yi Shuihan, she had to admit that it was all just that miraculous.

Ge Yang's face was extremely ugly. He had come as a hunter to catch a little lamb, but he never expected that the lamb would actually be a tiger in sheep's clothing.

"Nascent Soul!" This was the first thought that crossed his mind when he sensed the fluctuations in Yi Shuihan's magical power. Only a Nascent Soul cultivator could make someone like him, who was standing at the pinnacle of Qi Refining, feel immense pressure.

Damn Zhong Aiguo, how could he have provoked such a monster? He's so young, yet he's already a Nascent Soul cultivator.

At this moment, Ge Yang had the urge to turn around and run away. Although he was very arrogant, he did not believe that he could defeat Yi Shuihan in the face of such a powerful suppression.

"You...you've been hiding this really well!" Ge Yang said, taking a deep breath, his face grim.

"Hidden? I didn't hide anything, it's just that your cultivation level is too low to detect it."

The soft voice rang out, leaving Ge Yang speechless. There was nothing he could do; sometimes, the truth was the most hurtful thing to say.

"Since you are a senior in the Nascent Soul stage, then I will not concern myself with the Zhong family's affairs. Zhong Aiguo's son deserved to die for offending you. You are a person of noble character who did not hold it against them, yet they still thought of revenge. I can't stand it anymore. So, senior, I will go and wipe out the Zhong family right away to avenge you."

Ge Yang spoke with righteous indignation, immediately changing his stance and appearing to hate the Zhong family to the bone while claiming to be innocent.

As expected of the old devil, his response was truly brilliant.

"Don't let him leave. This old man has committed numerous evils and is a major cancer. Getting rid of him would be a good deed!"

The mention of merit in Hua Ya's words suddenly stirred up Yi Shuihan's previously calm heart. Indeed, Ge Yang had killed so many people in order to refine a magic weapon, and he must have committed a lot of murder and arson, as well as manipulated vengeful spirits. Killing him would surely have yielded a great deal of merit.

Putting everything else aside, if all the evil spirits inside that flag were eliminated, the merit would probably be at least over ten thousand!

In addition to Ge Yang's merits

It has to be said that Yi Shuihan was tempted, and his gaze toward Ge Yang suddenly became fiery.

Ge Yang shuddered at the look in her eyes, a sense of foreboding rising within him. He felt an intense hatred for Hua Ya, who had spoken.

If it weren't for that little bitch, I could have gotten away easily.

Ge Yang thought this way, but he didn't know that regardless of whether Hua Ya said those words or not, Yi Shuihan had no intention of letting him go.

Knowing that things couldn't end well, Ge Yang's eyes turned cold, and he decided to strike first. Although the Nascent Soul stage was powerful, he felt that his magic weapon was not weak either.

"Come out, my darlings!" The voice was chilling, like a demon from hell.

From the black flag, one fierce ghost after another emerged, each one over a hundred years old, radiating an astonishing chill.

After a total of 39 vengeful ghosts, the black flag finally stopped flying.

Beside Yi Shuihan, Hua Ya tightly covered her mouth, afraid that she would scream. The fear in her eyes was undisguised as she stared straight at the group of vengeful ghosts. She could sense that none of these ghosts were someone she could handle.

Even with all her confidence in the Nascent Soul stage, Hua Ya was still worried about Yi Shuihan, fearing that he wouldn't be a match for so many vengeful ghosts.

The appearance of the vengeful ghost seemed to give Ge Yang a strong sense of confidence. At this moment, he felt that even the Nascent Soul stage was not so strong and could be defeated by him.

"So many merit points!" In Yi Shuihan's eyes, these terrifying-looking ghosts were actually quite cute; these were all merit points!

Ge Yang is truly a lucky charm; knowing I needed merit, he brought so many ghosts with him. He really put his heart into it.

"What do you think of my babies, senior?"

Ge Yang hoped to see even the slightest hint of fear on Yi Shuihan's face, as that would give him even more confidence.

"Excellent, excellent, they're all good kids! It must have been hard on you to raise them so well!"

Ge Yang found Yi Shuihan's words baffling, especially the strange look in Yi Shuihan's eyes, which gave him a very bad feeling.

Suppressing the pounding in his heart, Ge Yang waved his hand at Yi Shuihan, and immediately four fierce ghosts sprang into action, baring their fangs and claws as they charged toward Yi Shuihan.

Chapter 239, Why are you holding me so tightly?

"Watch out!" Hua Ya exclaimed, instinctively trying to pull Yi Shuihan away, but she stopped as soon as she raised her hand.

He's a top expert in the Nascent Soul stage, he should be able to handle this!

Facing the four fierce ghosts, wisps of electricity appeared in Yi Shuihan's hand, and a lightning snake as thick as an arm condensed from his hand.

The originally extremely violent lightning power was as obedient as a toy in Yi Shuihan's hands, a scene that Hua Ya found nothing short of a miracle.

"Click"

The electric snakes roared out, lashing the four vengeful ghosts like whips. Before they could even scream, they were reduced to ashes.

"how is this possible?"

Ge Yang was dumbfounded, completely terrified by this scene. These were no ordinary ghosts; they were all at least 300 years old, with one even being 500 years old. Such a lineup would be more than enough to deal with a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, yet the opponent had wiped them all out in a single move.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator shouldn't be this strong, right?

Ge Yang's thinking was correct. Of course, ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators are not as powerful as those here, but Yi Shuihan is not an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator. He is a late-stage Nascent Soul stage cultivator and has even touched upon the Void Return stage, making him a half-step Void Return stage cultivator.

Let alone a few hundred-year-old ghosts, even a thousand-year-old ghost could be easily killed by Yi Shuihan.

"5000 merit points! Not bad." After checking his increased merit points, Yi Shuihan's mood became even more cheerful.

Four ghosts would give him 5000 points. If he wiped out all of them, he would probably gain close to 50000 points, saving him many years of time.

"Do you have any backup you haven't called out yet? If so, I can wait for you."

Yi Shuihan looked at Ge Yang with a strange expression and some anticipation.

"Uh..." Ge Yang was stunned. As an enemy, instead of annihilating the opponent with overwhelming force, he hoped that the opponent would find help. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

Ge Yang simply couldn't understand this logic and way of thinking.

Even if he wanted to find help, Ge Yang couldn't find any!

Seeing that Ge Yang did not respond for a long time, a hint of disappointment flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes. He was still a little greedy!

Having adjusted his mindset, Yi Shuihan stopped rambling and brandished the electric snake he had mentioned, each time taking away a ghost.

In just a few breaths, the large group of vengeful ghosts that were originally standing around Ge Yang was reduced to only 3. Moreover, these 3 ghosts only escaped with their lives because they were standing behind Ge Yang and were blocked by him.

The reduction in the number of vengeful spirits made Ge Yang's face turn deathly pale. The Black Demon Banner was inextricably linked to him; their fates were intertwined. Now that most of the vengeful spirits on the Black Demon Banner had died, its power had been greatly diminished, and he himself suffered a backlash as a result.

If Ge Yang hadn't spent so long in the late stage of Qi Refining and had a relatively solid foundation, he might have been demoted directly to the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Even Hua Ya, who already knew that the Nascent Soul stage was stronger than the Qi Refining stage, was stunned by Yi Shuihan's actions. She couldn't accept that this ordinary person in her eyes had suddenly transformed into a Nascent Soul master whose cultivation was far superior to hers, and whose strength far exceeded her imagination.

Even the remaining vengeful ghosts trembled in fear at the sight of Yi Shuihan. If they weren't bound by the Black Demon Flag and unable to escape, they would have vanished long ago.

"Senior, please spare my life!"

Ge Yang's mental defenses crumbled, and he knelt down before Yi Shuihan with a thud.

"Junior, I was really deceived by that old scoundrel Zhong. He has a deep grudge against me. Recently, I've been eyeing his property. He must have found out and sent me to deal with you!"

As he spoke, Ge Yang even managed to squeeze out a few tears, making him look like a true victim.

Is this Old Demon Ge? The guy even the special agents couldn't do anything about, and could only watch him get away with it? Could I have mistaken him for someone else?

Yi Shuihan didn't have any particular thoughts, but Hua Ya was already starting to wonder if she was dreaming.

Ge Yang secretly observed Yi Shuihan's expression and found that Yi Shuihan was completely unmoved and his heart was completely cold. However, when he saw Hua Ya next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“I know I am guilty and need to be tried. I surrender myself and I am willing to go with this special agent to work in the special forces. I will accept whatever punishment I am given.”

Ge Yang's plan was very well done. Compared to facing Yi Shuihan, an unfathomable master who could easily crush him, dealing with the special agents would be much simpler. He only needed to use a few tricks to have a high chance of escaping.

Hua Ya was also tempted by Ge Yang's words. After all, she would have made a great contribution by personally bringing this great demon back.

"Um, could you..." Hua Ya hesitated a bit, after all, she knew that Ge Yang did this because of the young man in front of him. It would be a favor if the other party agreed, and it would be normal if he didn't.

"cannot!"

"Hmph, I didn't even finish speaking before you refused." Hua Ya turned her head to the side, refusing to look at this infuriating guy.

"Just kidding, this is a favor delivered to our doorstep, how can we let it slip away?" As for Hua Ya's thoughts, Yi Shuihan said he didn't care.

Despair is Ge Yang's current state; Yi Shuihan is clearly determined to kill him completely!

Ge Yang simply couldn't understand why Yi Shuihan was so fixated on him. He hadn't even done anything to Yi Shuihan yet, and even his humble pleas for mercy weren't enough. Did the other party really harbor such deep hostility and hatred towards him?

If Yi Shuihan knew Ge Yang's thoughts, he would definitely say, "Child, you're overthinking it. I don't hate you at all. On the contrary, I find you extremely pleasing to the eye right now. The reason I can't let you go is simply because killing you would be a great act of merit. It has absolutely nothing to do with who you are or what kind of person you are."

In the end, Ge Yang still resisted and made a final gamble. He first forced the remaining vengeful ghosts to rush towards Yi Shuihan, and then spat out a mouthful of blood essence onto the Black Demon Banner, causing the originally somewhat weak Black Demon Banner to instantly increase in power and strengthen at an unusual speed.

"You forced me to do this, why are you still holding me captive? Explode!"

The Black Demon Flag exploded, unleashing power far exceeding its original strength. A powerful shockwave spread in all directions, covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters in just a moment.

Chapter 240, Self-harm is an Illness

"Even if you're a Nascent Soul cultivator, you won't have an easy time now!"

A hoarse sound rang out. After the explosion, Ge Yang, who was closest to the scene, was still severely injured despite being somewhat prepared. His right hand was hanging limply, with a third of it gone, revealing the white bone clearly.

The left hand was in slightly better condition, but it was still charred black, and blood was flowing uncontrollably.

His once handsome face has undergone a dramatic transformation, as if he has traveled through time and become himself decades later. Now he looks like an 80-year-old man, his face full of wrinkles, with only his eyes still bright.

In order to survive the self-destruction, Ge Yang exerted all his strength, even exhausting much of his life force.

In Ge Yang's mind, Yi Shuihan would eventually die or lose his ability to move, so that he could leave smoothly. As long as he could leave, he would have a way to restore his strength. Although he would never get his hand back, with his strength, as long as he didn't appear in front of Yi Shuihan in the future, he could still live a carefree life.
