Chapter 20: Murder and Silencing

  Upon hearing Song's question, Yuan's face turned stern and he said in an unquestionable tone: "What? Has Song become so exhausted that he can't even muster the energy to deploy his flying artifact? Don't forget, this time it is I, Yuan, who is primarily in charge of No Flower Town."

  After finishing speaking, Yuan Zhi Shi indeed was a decisive and efficient master. He directly dispersed the crowd, then patted the storage bag at his waist with one hand. With a whooshing sound, a yellow glow shot out, spun around once, and suddenly transformed into a yellow disk about the size of a palm in mid-air.

  Under the gaze of Ye Fei and others, Yuan Zhi raised his hand to point at the yellow disk. "Rise!" As soon as the words fell, the yellow disk burst out a dazzling light, causing Ye Fei to narrow his eyes immediately. And in a buzzing sound, the yellow disk actually expanded in size.

  When Ye Fei and the others opened their eyes again, a huge yellow disc with a diameter of two zhangs, emitting a brilliant light halo all over its body, suddenly appeared above everyone's heads, blocking out the sky and sun.

  The next moment, the yellow disc slowly descended and appeared in front of Ye Fei and others. The two ends were just filled with the entire street, and if it was a little bigger, the buildings on both sides would be in the way.

  "Everyone go up." Yuan Zhi said to Ye Fei and others, upon hearing this, Ye Fei hesitated for a moment, it was his first time sitting in such a flying device, he was worried that he would fall off.

  But the white-robed young man, Ding Ning, was a straightforward person who jumped onto the disk without hesitation. Yuan Xing looked at him with approval. The others, seeing this, also plucked up their courage and jumped onto the disk. Ye Fei followed suit, as there were no other options at that moment.

  At this time, four young men appeared at the entrance of the inn again. The leader was Jin Xuan, and the other three were directly passed as the younger generation of a large family without being tested.

  Under Jin's lead, the four of them jumped onto the disc and greeted Ye Fei. However, with over thirty people on it, it started to feel a bit crowded.

  Seeing this, Yuan Zhi Shi turned his head to look at Song Zhi Shi and said in a low voice: "Those ordinary people, you can bring them along. The Tian Yu and Tian Qi brothers will also follow you together."

  After finishing speaking, Yuan's body shape became blurry and then appeared on the yellow round plate under everyone's surprised gaze. He immediately raised his hand to point at the yellow round plate.

  "Everyone, hold on!" As soon as Yuan Zhi's voice fell, the yellow round disc shone brightly and rose into the air. The people on it were all tense, even Ding Ning, who was normally calm, jumped slightly at his eyebrows. It was clear that this was also their first time riding such a flying device.

  As the yellow disc had just risen to a high altitude and flew away from the buildings on both sides, after a humming sound, its volume suddenly expanded again, and in an instant, it grew to about 20-30 meters in size.

  At this moment, the crowd was no longer so crowded, and even a large piece of empty space was left at the edge. At this time, Yuan Zhi single-handedly pinched his fingers and pointed to the edge of the yellow disk in succession.

  With a whoosh, Huang Mang flashed once, and a layer of faint yellow light rose from the edge of the round plate, just in time to cover everyone inside. It was as if a large bowl had been placed over the top of the plate.

  The leaves flying close to the edge, first looked at the thin yellow light cover, and then carefully poked it with one hand, and after a loud noise, they withdrew their hands, almost the same scene appeared on several other boys, all of whom were curiously stroking the yellow light cover around them, feeling its unimaginable solidity.

  "Haha, don't worry about it. Even if you all attack with all your might, you won't be able to break through this protective light shield. When flying at high speeds later on, having this protective light shield will make you safer; otherwise, a strong gust of wind could take your lives." Yuan Xitai said without even looking at the crowd.

  The next moment, everyone only felt the round plate under their feet tremble slightly, and then with a whooshing sound, they shot out towards the distance. Some 11- or 12-year-old children in the Qi Refining stage three or four layers turned pale, with tense expressions. What's more, amidst a series of dry heaves, some even choked out a few tears.

  Ye Fei, on the other hand, had both hands tightly grasping the round disc beneath him, his expression appearing extremely calm, not looking particularly frightened at all. However, his pale face betrayed his current state of mind. To say he wasn't afraid would be a lie. Falling from such a great height, he was bound to end up in a miserable state, smashed to pieces.

  They had been flying for half a day, the sun set and the moon rose, everyone thought they would take a temporary rest, but unexpectedly, Yuan Zhi didn't care about daytime or nighttime, and continued to rush on the road.

  During this time, the food prepared by Jin Ye was only eaten by more than ten people, and Ye Fei was very hungry but really had no appetite. However, the clear water brought out by Yuan Zhi made everyone scramble for it. After drinking a few mouthfuls of clear water, their somewhat dizzy heads felt a bit better.

  After half a day and night of rushing, everyone has slowly gotten used to it. By the second half of the night, they are no longer as tense as at the beginning. Some people have even started chatting and whispering to each other, and many have already fallen asleep, looking like they're sleeping soundly.

  Ye Fei was no longer as tense as he was at the beginning, and through the faint yellow light screen, he gazed out at the starry sky outside, and unknowingly thought of his parents.

  In this way, in a daze, Ye Fei also fell asleep with the crowd, and didn't know how long had passed. Faintly, Ye Fei heard an extremely angry shout.

  "Are you going to silence me?" Next to Yuan, there were three people standing there, namely Qin Yi, Jin Xuan, and a 17 or 18-year-old youth. And the voice was from the young man.

  "What did you say? Do you think we can let you off easily?" Qin Yi coldly smiled as he looked at the slender young man, saying this while Jin Xuan remained expressionless and hadn't said a word.

  Upon hearing this, the slender young man's face changed color and he shouted in anger: "Hmph! You were just plotting to kill off the last of the Xiao family from Wuhua Town, and then you even went so far as to destroy their corpses. If the Xiao family finds out, I'd like to see how you'll handle it!"

  "There are over thirty people here. I don't believe you have the guts to kill every single one of them. Hmph, as long as just one person finds out, your secret will be exposed."

  Qin Yi's face changed, and Jin Xuan also furrowed his brow. But Yuan Zhi smiled slightly: "Hmph, kid, no need to put on a show here, put away your cleverness, do you think others will hear just because you shout loudly?"

  "You don't even think about why you're the only one who can't sleep, while everyone else is sleeping like a dead pig? You're still too tender to play clever tricks on me!"

  As soon as this was said, the young man's face flashed a hint of confusion, and he turned his head to look at the crowd that was lying down in a disorderly manner. Their sleeping posture was indeed not very elegant.

  A moment later, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he asked doubtfully: "Could it be that there's something wrong with the food and water?"

  "Hmph, you're not stupid, but you're just unlucky. Half the people here have eaten something, and even if they haven't, they've at least drunk the water I gave you all. But only you won't eat or drink - that's not my fault for being heartless and ruthless."

  Xiao's family only offended the Qin family, I have some friendship with Qin Yi's father, so I helped him once, originally didn't plan to take action against you, unfortunately... The words were cut off halfway, Yuan Zhi shook his head, a disappointed look on his face.

  At this time, Ye Fei was listening to everyone's conversation clearly, and he became somewhat puzzled. He had obviously drunk the clear water, so why hadn't he fallen asleep? But now he didn't dare move randomly. Otherwise, he would definitely end up like that young man.

  Just then, Yuan Zhi raised his hand and made a grasping motion towards the young man from afar. The look of regret on his face disappeared, replaced by a ferocious expression.

  At the sight, the young man was like he had been prepared in advance. The palm of his hand at his waist moved, and a yellow short sword appeared in his hand. But before he could make any move, a look of horror appeared on his face, and even his voice couldn't be heard.

  An irresistible force descended upon the young man, and the yellow light shield around him twisted and distorted, suddenly revealing a hole as tall as a person. A howling gust of wind immediately swept in.

  As Yuan Zhi's palm moved, the young man's body floated up involuntarily, his face terrified, his whole body trembling slightly. Finally, with a flick of Yuan Zhi's sleeve, the young man's body was flung out through the hole in the light screen with a whooshing sound.

  A Qi Practitioner who can't control the treasure flying, just like that, falling from a flying magic tool, is undoubtedly a dead end. Just like that, a farce ended.

  "Qin Yi, Xiao Yuan was killed and you saw it too. After we return, report the truth to your father. From now on, we owe each other nothing. Once we arrive at Qian Ya Sect, don't expect me to take care of you either. Everything will depend on yourself." Yuan Zhi Shi slowly said while using his technique to heal the yellow light covering the cave entrance.

  "I understand, Junior Brother. From now on, I will keep my mouth shut and won't bother Senior Brother Yuan again." Qin Yi said respectfully.

  "Alright, just in case, I'll cast a spell to verify. If anyone is ignoring our Soul-Scattering Formation, they will automatically open their eyes and meet their demise!" With that, Yuan Zhi single-handedly formed a seal and pointed at the crowd.

  In an instant, a piece of gorgeous starlight appeared and fell on everyone's body. Only to see the crowd humming in their mouths.

  "Alright, I'll check this side!" After saying that, Jin Xuan intentionally or unintentionally walked towards Ye Fei's direction. Qin Yi, on the other hand, headed to the other side.

  "Alright, I know you have some relationship with that young man, but as the child of Jin Changlao, you should know that preserving the reputation of our sect is important. Therefore, I will personally inspect this person." After finishing speaking, Yuan Xing walked towards Ye Fei.

  Yefei, who was lying on the ground pretending to sleep, had no idea what just happened. A strange power seeped into his body, making it impossible for him to close his eyes no matter how hard he tried. This couldn't help but make Yefei curse inwardly. (End of chapter)
