Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"Who are you?" He wanted to break free and even used his powerful strength.

However, despite his powerful strength, he was unable to break the boy free.

"Xiao Yan." Zhong Ran walked out, frowning slightly.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Zhong Yan seemed very violent recently.

Zhong Yan shook off the young man and walked back to Zhong Ran, standing with his head down like a child who had done something wrong.

"Sister has told you that it's not appropriate for you to increase your cultivation recently. Why won't you listen?"

She gently rebuked him, saying that if she had not come out, he would have been able to directly reach the eighth level of Qi Refining after devouring the young man and the old man.

After all, he had just devoured a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining in the morning, and his cultivation had improved further.

"Sister, I know."

He just couldn't stand seeing these people always jumping around in front of them, and he really liked the feeling of devouring them.

However, since his sister doesn't like him doing this, he won't do it again in the future.

The young man and the old man took this opportunity to stagger away. Zhong Ran threw two steel balls in his hand, and the two men were unable to dodge and fell to the ground and died.

"Keep on going."

The driver looked at the two people lying on the ground in front of him and wanted to see if they had anything valuable on them.

But they didn't dare say it out loud.

"Go ahead, hurry up and don't delay our journey."

Mu Jinning saw through their thoughts and said calmly.

The two men were dressed in luxurious clothes. For an old slave to have such powerful strength, he must be from a prominent family. Perhaps he really had some valuable things on him.

They don't care about those things, but these ordinary people like them.

The two men thanked him quickly and jumped down to search him. Soon, they brought back a lot of things.

In addition to the purses, the accessories on their bodies can also be exchanged for a lot of silver.

If Mu Jinning and the others didn't look like they were not easy to deal with, they would probably want to strip off their clothes.

The carriage continued to move forward. Inside the carriage, Zhong Yan sat with his head down, in a bad mood.

Zhong Ran raised her hand and gently rubbed his head, saying helplessly, "Xiao Yan, I don't mean to blame you. I just don't want you to continue consuming too much vitality like this. I'm afraid that you will be delayed by the emotions and resentment of those people."

"Everyone has their own emotions, especially when they die at your hands, they will be unwilling to accept it and feel resentful."

"At first, if the amount is small, you won't feel anything. And because these are ordinary people, they don't hold much grudge."

"If I don't stop you, and you develop that habit, it will easily cause problems in the world of cultivation in the future."

"You are my only relative, and I don't want you to have any problems. Do you understand?"

She didn't want to see him step into the devil without knowing it.

Although there are three thousand great ways, if you practice and persevere to the end, you will have the opportunity to become a god.

But she still hopes to achieve success through her own efforts rather than devouring the vitality of others.

Zhong Yan then looked up at her, his eyes filled with caution. "Sister, I understand. From now on, I won't devour those people randomly. I will only devour cultivation resources and practice seriously. Is that okay?"

Zhong Ran nodded slightly: "From now on, treat the devouring power as a means of preserving your life, not as something you rely on."

"You should practice more spiritual skills in the future, like the footwork and boxing techniques that Senior Brother taught you. Practice them well and use them in battle in the future."

"You must also practice various techniques diligently; these are the foundation for your survival."

Zhong Yan seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while, he nodded heavily: "Sister, I understand."

When he was in the Zhong family before, he couldn't even solve the problem of hunger, and he had no other means but to rely on the power of devouring.

Now that he has practiced, he no longer has to fear hunger, and he has gained powerful strength, so he really can no longer use the devouring power frequently.

Besides, my sister is right. Devouring other people's vitality may really affect yourself.

From then on, I would treat it as a powerful means of preserving my life and would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

"You must remember that we are the only siblings in this world who depend on each other. You must not ruin your future for the sake of promotion."

"Sister, what about Prince Ning and Ah Sheng?" Zhong Yan looked at her, still feeling resentful that she kept Ah Sheng around.

"Prince Ning is different. He's your senior brother, or maybe... In short, he feels different from you."

Zhong Ran then understood that this was probably the reason why the boy had been so depressed recently.

"Asheng is even less comparable to you. He has no blood relationship with my sister. He is just a friend you can trust."

"Xiao Yan will make her own friends outside in the future. Will you deny your sister because of those friends?"

Zhong Yan quickly said, "Sister, I don't need friends."

"You can't say for sure now. What if you have a friend, or even a girl you like in the future, will you stop recognizing me as your sister?"

"No, my sister will always be my sister, and no one can replace her."

"Isn't that enough? You are the same in my sister's heart."

Zhong Yan then nodded heavily: "Sister, I understand."

He was narrow-minded before and thought that they took away his sister's care and love.

Through this exchange, the brother and sister felt closer.

Zhong Yan also asked her some questions about cultivation. Zhong Ran didn't know much, but what he asked was within her knowledge and she could answer them.

On the other hand, the rumor that Zhong Yan was a devil gradually spread.

There is no need for others to exaggerate. Many people saw him devour Ji Xiaolan.

Devouring a living person and turning him into a mummy is a terrifying method.

Many people began to inquire about his whereabouts. Some people saw them leaving the city, but when they chased them, they only saw two bodies.

The prince even secretly fanned the flames, describing Zhong Yan and his sister as evil devils.

So, a group of powerful people who came to hunt for treasures formed a Demon-Slaying Conference and appointed a president.

The president is the eldest brother of the Haotian Sect. He is a recognized genius with great martial arts skills and good character.

At this time, a group of people were sitting in a hall for a meeting.

"A demon like that must not be allowed to live, otherwise it will be the beginning of everyone's nightmare."

"As martial artists, we have an obligation to rid the people of harm."

"To rid the people of harm, find that devil and kill him."

"But, that person is so strange, I'm afraid we are not strong enough to do it, right?"

"Humph! No matter how much he can devour, there is a limit. Once that limit is exceeded, it will be his death."

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, a gloomy young man.

Seeing everyone looking at him, he said grimly, "Send out invitations to heroes and gather all the martial artists to go and slay the demons and eliminate the evil."

Although his subsequent words were spoken implicitly, everyone understood what he meant.
