Ye Yu escorted Qiulu to the outskirts of the village and said, "Then I'll head back first."
"Mm."
Qiulu turned and left, heading towards her friend Taozi's grave.
As Ye Yu returned to the village, Qiulu stopped in her tracks, feeling a bit worried.
"Really, why stay here, his illness hasn't fully healed, can he really take on that White Impermanence."
Qiulu shook her head and said, "Ah, forget it, I'm not thinking about it, I don't care about him."
...
At this moment, White Impermanence and over twenty of his subordinates arrived in the center of the village.
All the villagers gathered here, feeling very scared and anxious.
White Impermanence said calmly, "You should know my story, don't be afraid. I, Impermanence, don't steal or rob, I've come here just to play a little game with you now..."
"Achoo!"
Suddenly, a subordinate nearby sneezed, and Impermanence frowned.
"Hmm?"
Impermanence let out a cold humph, causing the subordinate to immediately fall to their knees in fright.
Impermanence said coldly, "Why interrupt me? Don't you know that when I'm speaking, even passing gas must be taken back."
"I... I'm new here, I... I didn't know."
"New? Even new recruits don't bother to ask the others about my style, yet you dare follow me?"
"I... I learned, I just found out one of your nicknames, I haven't had time to understand the rest, please spare me, boss." The subordinate was extremely panicked and continuously kowtowed.
"Oh? My nickname? What is it?"
"It's... it's... Short and Quick..."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Impermanence's face turned icy cold, gloomy beyond measure.
The other subordinates thought this newcomer was surely doomed.
Impermanence let out a breath, "Alright, this is indeed my nickname, I do not deny it. But don't you know I've become stronger compared to before? I buy precious Nourishing Spirit Medicine every day to replenish my body, and I'm already able to maintain for over three minutes. I believe that soon, my nickname will no longer be Short and Quick."
"Yes, yes..." The newcomer nodded repeatedly.
Impermanence sighed, "When I was twenty, I had a hobby, to write books, and at the time, many ordinary people liked to read my books. After all, in this world, most people are commoners and need entertainment, so I casually wrote, but readers all said I was Short and Quick, so I desperately wrote more for a time, which led to physical issues. Now, my health is gradually recovering, I will resume this hobby, continue writing over ten thousand words a day, letting the nickname Short and Quick be completely removed from me in all aspects."
"I believe the boss can definitely achieve this! The boss can definitely do it!"
Impermanence nodded, "However, interrupting me earlier deserves punishment."
Impermanence took out a square wooden box, two of its faces were black, two were red, and casually tossed it onto the head of the new subordinate.
Wuchen said lightly, "You know my rules, right? Come on, start guessing."
With the wooden box put on him, the new subordinate trembled all over, terrified, "Boss... Boss, please no."
"Refuse to choose, and I'll choose for you?"
"I... I'll choose."
The newcomer's voice trembled, after agonizingly hesitating, said, "I'll... I'll choose red... no... let me think again, I choose... black."
"Alright, then let's begin."
Impermanence waved his sleeves, a surge of Soul Power swept forth, suddenly the wooden box spun rapidly.
When the wooden box stopped, if the face towards him was black, he could live. If it wasn't, he would die.
The villagers watched, thinking this person was quite perverted.
As the wooden box gradually stopped, the villagers stared unblinkingly at it, then their faces suddenly changed, the face towards Impermanence was the red side.
"Guessed wrong, so then..."
Impermanence waved his hand, a Wind Blade darted out, directly slicing, with a splatter, the subordinate's head together with the wooden box fell to the ground.
The headless body spurted blood from the neck, collapsing straight down, leaving the villagers extremely terrified, the adults hurried to cover the children's eyes.
"Alright, it's your turn now, ten people come forward."
The villagers looked at each other, terrified beyond measure.
"Nobody willing to come out? Then shall I choose?" Impermanence looked at the children, "Then you."
Xiao Xia's parents' faces changed drastically, "No... no, pick me, not my child."
"Ah, I let you volunteer to step forward earlier but none of you did, now it's too late."
Impermanence moved forward, his subordinates pushed Xiao Xia's parents aside, Impermanence placed the wooden box on Xiao Xia's head and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
Xiao Xia was unafraid, "I'm not scared at all, our village has a hero, certainly will teach you this bad guy a lesson!"
"Hero? Ha, children will be children, naive."
Just as Impermanence was about to make the wooden box spin, Ye Yu stepped forward.
"Xiao Xia, you said wrong, I will kill them, not just teach them a lesson."
Upon hearing Ye Yu's voice, Xiao Xia was happy, "Big brother is here."
"Hmm?"
Impermanence frowned and looked over, sneering, "Another Soul Master? But looks about thirteen years old, hm, here to find death? Then you'll play a little game with me later. Little ones, capture him."
"Yes!"
Two Three-Ring Soul Venerables stepped forward, Ye Yu made a swift move, both were instantly sent flying, blood sprayed, after landing, they were silent.
Other subordinates were stunned, Impermanence was even more frightened.
"How can this be?"
Impermanence was shocked, without releasing Martial Soul, just by himself he had instantly killed two of his subordinates?
As Ye Yu drew closer, the subordinates behind him retreated in fear.
"Hmph, what are you scared of, I'm here."
Impermanence made a cold humph, seven Soul Rings around him pulsed, yellow yellow purple purple black black black. At the same time, a cyan wind wolf appeared behind him, Impermanence surrounded by whistling gales.
Ye Yu was surprised, it was a Seven-Rings Soul Saint, and with best configuration for Soul Rings, the Martial Soul wasn't ordinary either, but a Cyan Swift Wind Wolf, a high-ranking Speed Beast Martial Soul.
With Impermanence releasing his Martial Soul, his subordinates relaxed and were no longer afraid.
Impermanence said proudly, "I am a seventy-four-level Agile Attack Soul Saint, kid, you're a genius, too bad you met me."
Ye Yu didn't expect Impermanence to be so strong, although he couldn't compare to that team of seven before, he wasn't weak either.
If he was in peak condition, he could naturally deal with it, but his Spiritual Power was still weak now, he couldn't use the Origin of Evil, otherwise he'd go berserk.
However, if not using it, it wasn't without confidence either.
Ye Yu's battle spirit rose, "It's been long enough sleeping this time, time to get some exercise, your strength is just right."
"Hmm?" Impermanence was stunned, how could he say such foolish words?
"Boy, do you think you can match me? Ridiculous, at your age, even considered a super genius, at most you'd be around thirty-five level Soul Venerable."
The villagers were despairing, they didn't expect this Impermanence to be a Soul Saint, they knew Ye Yu was only a Soul King and moreover of the Support Type, they had no hope at all, each one was extremely dejected.
"I told you not to stay, now you're in trouble! How could you possibly beat him."
An angry voice sounded, Ye Yu turned surprised to see, "Qiulu? Why have you returned, you were... worried about me?"
