Chapter 64: Evil Intentions

  "There's such a thing." After listening to Yi Chen's description, Yi Si asked in doubt: "If it's not someone from the Gu family, then who could he be? Do you want me to send someone to investigate?"

  "It's no use, Ah Ye. From this situation, he will definitely come back again." Yi Chen shook his head and said in a low voice: "Next time he comes, I will personally end his life."

  "Then you handle this matter yourself!" Yi Siqing nodded in agreement, although he was a bit worried. After thinking for a moment, he said: "We have several shops on the commercial square side of our family, and from now on, I'll let you manage them."

  "Hand it over to me?" Yi Chen was stunned, then smiled and said: "It seems that the family has a rule, before adulthood, you can't interfere with any family matters."

  "Rules are dead, people are alive. The Yi family doesn't need greenhouse flowers, children who grow up under protection will never grow big." Yisi Qing said with a faint smile.

  His intention was already very clear, which is to cultivate Yi Chen as his successor.

  "If it doesn't affect my cultivation, I'll go take a look." Yi Chen wouldn't have guessed his thoughts, and he didn't refuse at the moment.

  "You little scamp, you're really got a good deal and still selling cleverness." Yisi Qing shook his head and smiled, then said in a low voice: "Tomorrow is the annual Spring Festival, after that you little guy will also be considered an adult, and taking over the family business again won't violate the clan rules."

  Yi Chen nodded slightly, and didn't say much. This world was the same as his previous one, also having a so-called Spring Festival. After this year's festival, he would be sixteen years old in this life, considered an adult.

  Before long, the day passed quickly and when the Spring Festival arrived, the whole city was jubilant and extremely lively. The guests who came to visit Yi Chen were countless.

  Every year at this time, Yi Jia would set up a banquet to entertain guests. More than 100 round tables were filled with sumptuous dishes, featuring delicacies from mountains and seas, and the air was filled with the aroma of wine and meat.

  The manor was bustling with activity, but Yi Chen didn't have the mind to join in on the excitement. He was cultivating in his own room instead.

  "After entering the Chen Hun Realm, the soul power required for promotion has increased by three times, and every rank upgrade is extremely difficult."

  Returning from his meditative state, Yi Chen looked inward at the beast soul and let out a helpless sigh.

  The first three realms can be broken through quickly with the help of Soul Spirit Stones, but after advancing to the Chen Hun Realm, it's no longer possible. Moreover, according to Yi Siqing, breaking through the subsequent realms will become even more difficult.

  But Yi Chen didn't rush either, lightly spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, jumping down from the bed and walking out of the room.

  "Hmm." As he walked out of the room, Yi Chen felt a faint vibration coming from the direction of the back mountain.

  "It's strange, the people of Yi family wouldn't easily enter the back mountain, how could there be a disturbance coming from there." Yi Chen's face flashed with confusion.

  "Take a look back." After a moment of contemplation, Yi Chen activated his soul power and quickly headed in the direction where Hou Shan was.

  When he arrived in the mountains, Yi Chen found that there was no unusual phenomenon on the front mountain, and the fluctuation came from the back mountain.

  "Could it be that someone has sneaked into the back mountain?" Yi Chen furrowed his brow, and then seemed to have made a new discovery.

  "Something is fluctuating rapidly in that direction." Turning his head to look towards the direction of the fluctuation, Yi Chen said this sentence in a low voice. Generally, members of the Yi family would not enter the back mountain, there must be some problem.

  "Hmm."

  Without startling the snake, Yi Chen's right foot stepped out, and his body jumped high, landing on the trunk of a large tree, hiding among the lush branches.

  "Hiss." Just then, a figure emerged from the rear mountain and came to the front mountain. He was wearing a black robe, with a bamboo hat on his head, observing the surroundings with vigilant eyes.

  Nothing unusual was found, and the man in black took out a red stone from his bosom, threw it at the front mountain position, turned around and ran back to the rear mountain.

  The other party's abnormal behavior made Yi Chen extremely puzzled, furrowing his brow, jumping down from the big tree and walking to the side of that red stone.

  "What is this?" Yi Chen picked up the red stone, finding a flow of energy inside, and a strange wave emanating from it.

  "Could it be the Demon Spirit Stone?" Yi Chen racked his brains for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, his face suddenly changing.

  Evil Spirit Stone, which does not contain soul power and cannot heal wounds, but the energy contained within can attract demonic beasts.

  There are many guests in the manor, and there are countless magical beasts in the back mountain. If they are lured to the front mountain, the consequences will be unthinkable.

  The other party must be trying to deal with Yi's family. If such a thing really happens, those partners who cooperate with Yi's family will definitely disappear overnight.

  "Good, vicious and poisonous." Yi Chen's face flashed with cold intent, fortunately he discovered it in time, otherwise he would have really let him succeed.

  "I'd like to see who's behind this." With a flip of his palm, Yi Chen stored the demonic spirit stone in his storage ring and spoke in a slightly cold tone. He then activated his soul power and rushed into the back mountain.

  Yi Chen's speed was extremely fast, constantly darting between the trees in the forest. However, after chasing for a while, he suddenly stopped because his opponent's breath had abruptly ceased.

  "Ran away?" Yi Chen looked around and didn't see anyone, immediately furrowing his brow.

  "Mo Jian?" Just as Yi Chen was about to give up hope, he found a waist token on the ground. After picking it up, he discovered that these two words were engraved on it.

  "He's from the Demon Mirror Association." Yi Chen's face sank, and this was indeed the waist token of the Demon Mirror Association.

  "The Magician's Association, as well as the Gu family and those in power are all in an alliance. It seems that this matter is related to them." Yi Chen thought for a moment before saying.

  "Hmph, you actually dare to lay a hand on my Yi family. One day, I'll make all of you disappear." The Yi family was the taboo in Yi Chen's heart, his reverse scale, not allowing anyone to trample on it.

  Put away that token in the storage ring, Yi Chen looked around and then turned back.

  "It's strange, the soul power between heaven and earth seems a bit abnormal." Yi Chen stopped in his tracks not long after they left, saying softly.

  The cultivator's perception of soul power was particularly keen, and the flow of soul power here was very irregular, attracting Yi Chen's attention.

  "The surrounding soul power seems to be gathering in the eastern direction." With his keen perception, Yi Chen turned his head towards the east.

  Ordinary spiritual energy does not flow on its own unless one of two possibilities occurs: either someone cultivates it or a heavenly material treasure is produced.

  But Yi Chen carefully sensed it and found that there was no one practicing on that side, but rather it seemed like the second possibility from behind.

  With this judgment, Yi Chen decided to go take a look. He rotated his soul force, tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed towards the east location with a whistling sound.

  After a moment, Yi Chen arrived at the gathering place of soul power. A huge stone appeared in front of him, and that soul power was being absorbed by the stone.
