Chapter 3093

Naturally, if the creature had been willing to face death with courage, it would have been better. At least Yan Xizhong would not have to worry about another battle breaking out shortly.

However, things were not always so easy. A problem had arisen right now.

Yan Xizhong had originally assumed the creature inside the coffin would remain hidden. But the Devouring Fire was too terrifying. The coffin lid creaked and opened.

As the Devouring Flame finally consumed the coffin, a black mist appeared and landed in front of Yan Xizhong.

The black mist then transformed into the shape of a bat.

"So it really isn't human." Yan Xizhong reached out. A ray of golden light pressed down from his hand, crushing the bat-shaped black mist.

The bat black mist began to scream. Eventually, it ran out of strength and revealed its true form. It was merely a black bead.

Yan Xizhong picked up the bead. As soon as he glanced at it, the bead turned into black mist and entered his divine sense.

"What a fine body." The voice was neither male nor female. It clearly intended to possess him.

Yan Xizhong sighed. His true form appeared within his divine sense. "You are just a bat, yet you want to possess me? Do you think that is possible?"

The bat looked at Yan Xizhong. "Do you know who I am?"

"Are you even human?" Yan Xizhong did not believe it at all. He directly slapped the bat away.

"How is this possible? How could you slap me away?" The bat seemed utterly incredulous.

Yan Xizhong said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. This is mainly because you are not human. If you were human, you would realize that I am not human either."

The bat did not believe him and directly released black mist.

Yan Xizhong waved his hand slightly. A ray of golden light shone from his divine sense, surrounding the black mist.

Yan Xizhong’s divine sense was his own world. Here, he was the master.

This was a characteristic of a Yin Spirit.

The status of a Yin Spirit was naturally inferior to that of true High Gods. However, the power of a Yin Spirit was no less than that of High Gods.

This was for two reasons. First, cultivation was difficult. Second, when a Yin Spirit’s divine sense was cultivated, it became a separate realm.

This realm could transform the souls of mortals. It could also reduce people to ashes.

If ordinary gods interfered in the lives of mortals, the Heavenly Dao would not forgive them. But if a Yin Spirit interfered, the Heavenly Dao would not pursue them.

This was a form of balance. Because Yin Spirits held lower status than High Gods, they could use their power among mortals.

The bat in front of him might have had some ability. But a Yin Spirit was exactly its nemesis.

"My divine sense is not a place where any demon or monster can survive. Otherwise, how would I handle all the affairs of the Yan Palace?" Yan Xizhong was not showing off; he was stating a fact.

The bat realized it had chosen the wrong person to possess. It tried to escape, but Yan Xizhong had no intention of giving it another chance.

The bat, surrounded by golden light, was quickly destroyed.

Naturally, the bat’s origins were also revealed.

In fact, Yan Xizhong had to thank this bat. Because it was foolish enough to try to possess him, it was destroyed within his divine sense. Its memories were fully absorbed by him.

Yan Xizhong could not believe this bat was not an ordinary bat. It was the soul of a Dark Bat from an outer realm.

Speaking of Dark Bats, many people did not know them. However, many knew their creator: the famous vampire, Gai Yin.

This Dark Bat had been killed in a battle. At that time, a spatial rift appeared. It accidentally fell into this world and took root here.

This Dark Bat possessed intelligence. It knew it was merely a bat soul that could not see the light. So, it wanted to reshape its true body. It had two options: possession or absorbing massive amounts of soul resentment.

For possession, this Dark Bat dared not go out. Especially after seeing experts proficient in mystical arts pass by, it became even more afraid. It feared being destroyed if it went out.

So, it chose to absorb human resentment.

In a way, this was the bat’s luck. The Yin souls in Soul Township were trapped. Although there were reincarnation secret arts here, not everyone could reincarnate immediately after death. Especially outsiders. Some people, due to special causes of death, had their souls trapped here.

So, it began by using its ability to control one person. It transformed him into its puppet. Then, it lured surrounding people over.

Over the years, it absorbed many souls. But having too many corpses was hard to handle. So, it began cultivating Soul Immortal Beauties. All the souls were imprisoned in Bloody Mary.

It had to be said that this bat was a very powerful spirit. At least, its schemes against people were intricate and interconnected.

If Yan Xizhong had not discovered the Soul Immortal Beauties and come here, he would not have discovered the true situation in Soul Township. He would not have found it. If it had persisted for another fifty years, it could have transformed into a physical entity. The disaster would have been even greater.

It was clear that every detail was predestined.

Yan Xizhong erased the last trace of the bat’s aura and left.

Back at the hotel, he told Yun Meng about the bat.

Yun Meng said, "In that case, the corpses here will be hard to handle. The relevant authorities will have a busy time."

The corpses here ranged from a few months old to over a hundred years old. This case could be considered a century-long serial murder case. Determining the culprit would be difficult for them.

Yan Xizhong understood this. So, he said, "It doesn't matter. I will send a message to the special departments."

Ordinary units could not handle such cases. Tracing back a hundred years required special departments to take over.

Yun Meng did not know how Yan Xizhong did it. Anyway, soon, the tourists stranded here could go home. It was said that clues had been found. Of course, relevant departments would provide explanations.

As for how they explained it, Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng would not ask. As long as the public could accept the answer provided, it was fine.

After the matter in Soul Township was settled, Yan Xizhong and Yun Meng prepared to return. Of course, they did not feel like going straight home. They planned to travel slowly back, treating it as a form of training.

So, when they returned to the flower shop, a month had passed.

The first thing they did after returning to the flower shop was for Yan Xizhong to take Yun Meng to the marriage registration practice chamber. This confirmed that they were husband and wife in this world.

Looking at the photos in the red booklet, Yun Meng sighed with emotion. "You are too impatient."
