This Void Devouring Flame seems a bit strange

When Ling Ji heard this, his face turned pale. Xuwu Tunyan's meaning was very clear. He wanted to leave their life and death entirely to be decided by Lingjue and Linglong.

In the past, if someone said that two kids who weren't even fighters could decide their life or death, he would definitely think it was complete nonsense.

But what’s even more ridiculous than the fact itself is that it’s actually happening now.

"Mr. Xu Yan, do these two have high status in the spirit race?"

"I guess so. After all, Doudi has long been a legend. No matter how big and powerful an ancient family is, Dousheng is always the most important fighting force."

Hearing this, Ling Ji's desire to survive immediately increased: "Yes, yes, that's right, A'jue, A'long, I promise you, as long as you let me go, I won't tell anyone about what happened today. I can get you any elixir or technique you want, whether it's Qi Gathering Powder or Po Zong Dan, just ask... woo woo woo..."

Xuwu Tunyan directly spread out a large hand filled with fighting spirit and covered Lingji's mouth: "Shut up now. If you keep talking like that, I'm going to vomit up my overnight meal."

After covering Ling Ji's mouth, Xuwu Tunyan turned to Ling Jue and said, "Ling Jue, you didn't really believe his lies, did you?"

Ling Jue shook his head: "Mr. Xu Yan, I want to know, if you really kill them, will the spirits come here?"

Void Devouring Flame understood what she meant. It was impossible for her to not hate them, but she also knew that if she really killed them to vent her anger, the elves would probably spread their wrath to other people, such as this village and even the entire Gama Empire.

"I will." Void Devouring Flame nodded.

Seeing Ling Jue's struggling expression, he smiled, "However, I have a backup plan that won't affect other people, but this method may be a little... cruel."

"cruel?"

"Yes, at least in my opinion, it is too radical to show this method to children of your age." Void Devouring Flame shrugged, "It will leave a shadow on your childhood."

Ling Jue shook his head: "Mr. Xu Yan, it's okay for me. I'm no longer old enough to act like a spoiled brat."

Linglong had no objection: "Mr. Xu Yan, do whatever you want."

"You heard me, Mr. Lingji." Xuwu Tunyan withdrew his fighting spirit hand, "The parties involved have agreed, so I'm going to take action."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Xu Yan, no, Senior Xu Yan! We swear to heaven that we won't say a single word! As long as you let us go, we will never come here again in this life!"

"What a pity! I don't believe it. If swearing to the heavens was useful, I'm afraid there would be people being struck to death by heaven every moment on this continent."

Void Devouring Flame looked at Ling Ji with a mocking look, "You are begging for mercy now, not because you have a change of heart, but because you know that I really have the ability to kill you. If I really let you go, I'm afraid you will immediately notify the Eldar to seal off this area and kill everyone, scatter eggs, and fill ant nests with hot aluminum, right?"

"No, absolutely not." Ling Ji shook his head like a rattle, trying to deny this guess - in fact, Xuwu Tunyan's guess was indeed correct. Once they regained their freedom, they would notify the clan as soon as possible.

"Don't be afraid. I just said that I won't kill you. After all, whether I kill you or cripple you, the spirits will definitely react. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."

Two balls of black gas emerged from behind Void Devouring Flame. Soon, the smoky black gas began to condense and eventually turned into black chains covered with spikes.

"Are you from the Soul Clan?!"

Seeing the black chain, Ling Ji's voice became extremely terrified. He had heard of this kind of chain that could extract souls and refine marrow.

"Soul Clan? Is Mr. Xu Yan also from the Ancient Clan?"

"Yes and no." The chain swam around Void Devouring Flame like a venomous snake stalking its prey. "To be honest, I don't really like using this kind of thing. After all, it is a bit inhumane. But there is no need to use that kind of thing against you."

"Go ahead, Soul Reaper Chain."

Ling Ji only felt a pain in his chest. The pitch-black chains had pierced through him and Ling Mie who was lying dead next to him, and then pulled their souls out of their bodies.

"You, what do you want to do?!" Ling Ji and Ling Mie finally lost control, "If you dare to devour our souls, even the Soul Clan can't save you!"

“Hehe… No, this is the right time to laugh. Hehe, who said I’m going to swallow you up? I don’t have the time to digest you.” Void Devouring Flame raised his hand, and two balls of black flames emerged from his hand. “I’m going to dye your souls with my color. That way, I won’t have to worry about you leaking secrets, and you can also serve as my eyes and ears.”

"Black flame?! So, it's you, Xu..."

Before Ling Ji could finish his words, the black flames had already surged into their souls. The originally pure and colorless souls were instantly corroded by the black color, just like a drop of ink dropped into a clear pool.

“Waaaaaaaaaa—”

Screams rang out at the right time, and the painful cries made Lingjue and Linglong a little scared. The pain of the soul infection process was countless times more severe than the physical being cut into pieces.

But the screams did not last long. As the black color completely dyed the two souls black, the screams stopped abruptly.

"Go." Void Devouring Flame pushed forward, and the two quieted souls returned to their original bodies.

Soon, "Ling Ji" and "Ling Mie" slowly stood up, and then knelt down towards Xu Wu Swallowing Flame together: "Greetings, Master Xu Yan."

Although there was no problem in calling him Xuwu Tunyan directly, considering that the fewer people knew about this kind of thing, the better, Xuwu Tunyan did not let them call him by his name.

"Mr. Xu Yan, what are they doing..."

"Oh, I made some [small changes] to their souls. Now, both of them have completely obeyed my orders, just like this."

Void Devouring Flame snapped his fingers, "You two, slap each other ten times."

As the order came down, Ling Ji and Ling Mie faced each other, then raised their right hands and slapped each other hard in the face. After repeating this ten times, their left cheeks were already swollen.

"Not only slapping, but even more extreme orders can be implemented. Do you want to try it?"

“No thanks.” When Ling Jue saw them bowing to the Void Devouring Flame, he knew that their self-awareness had most likely been wiped out. “Thank you.”

"So, what do you want to do next?" Xuwu Tunyan sat down casually, "The Spirit Clan is a good place to go. If you really return to your roots, when you go out in the future, no one will dare to disrespect you except those from the same ancient family."

"Don't worry, if you want to go, I have a way." Xuwu Tunyan showed a meaningful smile.

Ling Jue shook his head: "I don't want to go. To be honest, I still don't quite believe that A-Long and I are the so-called spirit people."

"I just hope to live a good life with A-Long."

"It's a good idea, but the reality may not be that simple." Xuwu Tunyan poured cold water on him. "He just said that they fled in a panic when Ling Ling got angry. So, your Ling Ling, who can barely be called a father, should still be alive."

"And there was one thing he said that really concerned me. [We thought he was angry because of the child], hey, I hope I'm just overthinking it."
