After the battle with the Dark Evil Demon God Tiger, Yan had exerted himself to the limit, as if he had broken through some bottleneck. The killing intent within his body was now completely under his control.
Therefore, there was no longer any need to continue training in the Ice Bound Forest.
The group was about to leave the Ice Bound Forest.
Yan and Shui Bing'er walked alone at the rear.
"Brother Yan, are you leaving already?"
About to part ways with Yan, Shui Bing'er was a little reluctant.
After spending this time together, she had gotten to know Yan better, and her fondness for him had deepened.
However, she also knew that Yan was one of the outstanding young representatives of Spirit Hall, with many things to do and a boundless future ahead. Her feelings for him could only be buried in her heart for now.
"Yeah, I've been away from Spirit Hall on this training journey for nearly two and a half years. It's about time I returned."
"Then I hope we'll have a chance to meet again in the future."
Shui Bing'er spoke very softly, and her cheeks turned red with shyness as she said this.
"Of course we'll meet again. When the time comes, I'll come find you."
"Okay. You're traveling alone, so be careful on the road."
"Mm, don't worry, I'll be fine."
After leaving the forest, Yan bid farewell to Leng Jun, Xiao Yu, and Xue Wu, then went his separate way.
Yan kept the core pearl of the Dark Evil Demon God Tiger but didn't rush to absorb it.
He wasn't sure if he could suppress the evil energy within it and planned to return to Spirit City first and consult with Yue Guan before making a decision.
That day, while dining at a restaurant, two people sitting at the neighboring table caught his attention.
The two were dressed luxuriously and were both soul masters.
What really drew Yan's attention was the hidden weapons on their forearms.
Although they deliberately concealed them with their sleeves, they were still accidentally seen by Yan.
Yan guessed that the two of them were likely from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and the hidden weapons on their arms were sleeve darts designed by Tang San.
This kind of hidden weapon was concealed within the sleeves and, due to its strong concealment and difficulty of detection, was very effective in close combat for catching opponents off guard.
Perhaps they also carried another type of hidden weapon the highly destructive Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
After leaving the restaurant, Yan trailed behind the two men.
The two also noticed they were being followed and deliberately led Yan to a secluded corner.
Little did they know, this was precisely what Yan intended.
The two suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at Yan.
One of them questioned:
"Who the hell are you, kid? Why are you sneaking around following us?"
Yan didn't answer the question but instead asked:
"You two are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?"
Upon hearing this, the two glanced at each other.
One of them replied disdainfully
"So what if we are? You've been following us—what's your intention?"
Yan probed.
"Hand over the Zhuge Divine Crossbows, and I'll let you live."
At the mention of "Zhuge Divine Crossbows," the two immediately changed their expressions, growing highly alert.
"You've got a big mouth, brat! Who the hell are you? Do you think you can afford to mess with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?"
Yan's expression suddenly darkened as he said coldly:
"There's no need for me to answer your question. Looks like you really do have Zhuge Divine Crossbows on you. Those evil hidden weapons pose a massive threat to human soul masters. They should never have been brought into this world. Hand them over!"
Sensing the killing intent radiating from Yan, the two men grew flustered.
They exchanged glances, then quickly released their respective martial souls, attempting to strike first.
The two raised their right arms simultaneously and activated the mechanism over a dozen sharp arrows instantly shot toward Yan.
"Fools!"
Yan leaped lightly and easily dodged them.
With a flash of red light on his forehead, the skull soul bone skill Void Soul Flame—was activated.
The flames of the void instantly invaded the minds of the two, burning their spiritual energy.
The two were Soul Ancestors-level soul masters, and their spiritual power was far inferior to Yan's.
In just a few moments, the two's spiritual power was completely burned away, and they collapsed to the ground.
Even if they ever woke up, they would be reduced to imbeciles no different from the dead.
Yan searched one of them and found a Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
Then, he also took the sleeve darts hidden on their arms.
Yan had no need for these things.
However, he couldn't just stand by and watch these evil hidden weapons be mass-produced in this world.
A few days later, Yan returned to Spirit City.
After two and a half years, returning to Spirit City again, nothing seemed to have changed but it also felt like everything had changed.
Yan didn't go back to the academy, but went directly to Yue Guan's residence.
Seeing Yan again, Yue Guan was both surprised and overjoyed.
"Yan, you've finally returned. Looks like you've gained full control over the killing intent in your body."
"Mm. Training in the Icebound Forest for a few months was indeed helpful."
"Very good. Now that you've returned to Spirit City, news will soon reach Her Holiness the Pope. Come with me to see her first."
Yan also knew that he should have reported back to Bibi Dong.
"Alright. Coincidentally, I have something important to report to her as well."
"What is it?"
"Take a look."
As he spoke, Yan took out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow and the two sets of sleeve darts from his soul tool.
Yue Guan looked puzzled.
"What are these?"
"These are all hidden weapons laced with poison. This Zhuge Divine Crossbow in particular is extremely powerful it can even easily kill soul masters with a soul power level of forty to fifty."
Yue Guan's expression changed.
"It's that powerful? Where did you get it from?"
"I seized it from disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
Then, Yan explained the entire situation and his suspicions about the hidden weapons to Yue Guan.
After hearing everything, Yue Guan was utterly shocked.
"What a cunning Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan! Secretly equipping their disciples with such deadly hidden weapons. Fortunately, you discovered it in time. Her Holiness the Pope will be very pleased to hear this."
"Teacher, last time when I didn't return with you all, did the Pope blame you?"
Yue Guan smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry. Her Holiness was indeed a little angry, but she didn't say much. After all, without you, Nana wouldn't have been able to make it out of the Hell Road safely. And now, after your trip out, you've made such an important discovery she'll certainly not blame you."
"Mm. Then let's head to the Pope's Palace now."
The two of them then made their way to the Pope's Palace.
Inside the spacious hall, Bibi Dong sat high upon the Pope's throne.
Though it had been two and a half years, Bibi Dong was still as graceful and dignified as ever.
Seeing Yan again, she didn't give him a warm reception.
"Your Holiness, I have returned."
Yan bowed to Bibi Dong, deliberately raising the Zhuge Divine Crossbow in his hand.
The uniquely shaped Zhuge Divine Crossbow immediately drew Bibi Dong's attention.
"Yan, what is that in your hand?"
"Your Holiness, this is a hidden weapon of immense destructive power, called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow. With it, even ordinary people can easily kill soul masters with a soul power level of forty or fifty."
"Oh? Is it truly that powerful? Where did you get it?"
"I seized it from disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
