Xue Kong was not moved at all by Xu Bin's fear. His expression remained calm as he looked at Xu Bin struggling in his hands with a cold look in his eyes: "Since you don't want to leave with me, then don't leave."

"What do you want to do!?" Xu Bin was horrified.

Xue Kong said nothing, raised his right index finger and placed it on Xu Bin's brow. His spiritual sense penetrated into Xu Bin's sea of ​​consciousness and searched his brain for memories in a brutal manner.

The art of soul searching.

"No!" Xu Bin's expression was distorted, and he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if a big hand was roughly digging into his memories and churning over his brain. The pain was unprecedented, and he rolled his eyes in pain.

The shrill screams spread in all directions in an instant.

The cultivators in the surrounding streets and in the air who were preparing to fly towards the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi formation were all stunned. They looked in horror at the ravine several feet deep on the ground, and also at Xue Kong who was performing the soul-searching technique.

They had never seen anyone killing people in Guanglan City, nor had they seen anyone use vicious soul-searching techniques on people in public. This was simply a demonic act and would surely become the target of public criticism.

However, these people did not dare to rush forward.

The burly figure next to Xue Kong put them under great psychological pressure.

Many people had never seen that burly figure and did not recognize his identity. Those who recognized his identity had already fled into the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi formation with shock and fear in their hearts.

Soon, a figure came rushing from a distance.

The figure was a white-haired old man with a gloomy expression. He came flying on a sword and stopped on the street. He paused, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to the burly figure: "I am the head of the Law Enforcement Hall of Guanglan City. I pay my respects to the ancestor of Hanshan."

His voice was filled with deep fear and spread in an instant, reaching the ears of every cultivator here, causing a huge uproar.

"Ancestor of Hanshan?"

"That man turned out to be the Hanshan Patriarch. No wonder his punch was so powerful!"

"Jindan cultivator..." Those cultivators who didn't know what Hanshan Patriarch looked like had heard of his name. He was one of the six Jindan cultivators in Jingwu Kingdom and a famous body-refining cultivator.

At that moment, all the cultivators clasped their fists and bowed to the Hanshan Patriarch: "Greetings, Senior Hanshan Patriarch."

The Hanshan Patriarch did not respond, and the place fell into an eerie silence for a while. Only Xu Bin's faint wailing could be heard by everyone. Until the soul search was over, Xue Kong threw Xu Bin away.

A branch shot out from behind him, pierced Xu Bin's body, and absorbed his vitality.

"Senior, you killed someone in Guanglan City for this boy. Although I cannot blame you, if the city lord asks about it in the future, I will tell him the truth." The head of the Law Enforcement Hall spoke in a deep voice and brought out his backers.

However, the ancestor of Hanshan remained unmoved. His expression was numb and his eyes were dull. Of course, he could not respond, because the ancestor of Hanshan had already been refined by Xue Kong into a Yin corpse - a body-refined corpse.

The cultivation level of this body-refining corpse is still at the early stage of Jindan, without any improvement, unlike the other two Yin corpses, whose cultivation levels will be improved after being refined.

It was then that Xue Kong realized that the higher the cultivation level of the person being sacrificed, the less improvement the Yin Corpse refined by the Yin Corpse Blood-Crying Formation would receive.

"Fellow Daoist." Xue Kong clasped his fists and bowed to the head of the Law Enforcement Hall. He said in a flat voice, "I'm afraid that the Hanshan Patriarch cannot respond to you."

"Who are you?" The head of the Law Enforcement Hall looked at Xue Kong.

In his opinion, although Xue Kong's cultivation was profound, he was only at the foundation-building stage. If it weren't for the ancestor of Hanshan being here, he wouldn't even show up. The Law Enforcement Hall alone was enough to take Xue Kong down.

He never took Xue Kong seriously.

He had no good temper towards Xue Kong, the person who had caused this incident.

"I have reached a critical moment in my cultivation and I am in urgent need of spirit stones. I hope fellow Taoists can be generous and help me with my cultivation." Xue Kong did not answer the other party's question, but asked for spirit stones instead.

"Haha." The head of the Law Enforcement Hall sneered, obviously making his attitude clear.

Xue Kong shook his head slightly.

Why is the world so diverse? It is because people have many faces. There are those who understand current affairs, while there are those who cannot recognize their position and situation. As for these people, Xue Kong never wants to say a word.

His mind moved.

The body-refining corpse raised its head slightly and took a fierce step forward with its right foot.

boom!

The ground beneath the body-refining corpse's feet collapsed with a loud bang, and dust rose up. Then, the body-refining corpse punched forward, and punched again on the ravine several feet away.

The surging blood and energy rolled and the earth was torn apart. Large sections of buildings and a large number of monks who were unable to dodge were destroyed by this punch. Guanglan City shook and the roar was deafening.

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall's eyes suddenly burst into tears, and he roared, "Senior, you are so rude. I will definitely tell the city lord frankly in the future. Do you want to go to war with Guanglan City for this young man?!"

Xue Kong said nothing.

The body-refining corpse punched to the side again, houses collapsed, and many cultivators were killed. For a while, there were screams in Guanglan City, and many people fled frantically. Black dots screamed and flew into the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi formation.

One punch, two punches, three punches!

Every punch thrown by the Body Refining Corpse would create a deep gully in Guanglan City and kill dozens of cultivators. Such astonishing killing spree made the head of the Law Enforcement Hall so angry that his face turned red.

"Senior!!!" He roared through his teeth, but he didn't have the courage to step forward to stop him.

Compared with the Core Formation Stage, the Foundation Establishment Stage is as weak as an ant.

Now that Master Guanglin was not in the city, he felt powerless.

Seeing that he couldn't communicate with the Hanshan Patriarch, he could only place his hopes on Xue Kong and asked with gritted teeth, "How many spirit stones do you want?"

Xue Kong could sense his anger and suppressed rage, but he didn't care. He just uttered two words calmly: "All."

"That's impossible!" The head of the Law Enforcement Hall refused without hesitation.

Xue Kong did not try to persuade him, but just stood there quietly.

The crazy killing of the body-refining corpse is still going on. The strength of the Jindan cultivator is amazing. Although Guanglan City is big, it cannot withstand his destruction. In just a few moments, Guanglan City will be destroyed.

"Sir, do you really want to be an enemy of Guanglan City? My city lord has reached the late Jindan stage. If you destroy this city, you will be hunted down by our city lord wherever you go. Are you not afraid?"

The head of the Law Enforcement Hall still tried to persuade him.

Xue Kong just looked at him calmly and said nothing more.

Xue Kong understood this principle very well without him having to explain it. He even knew that Master Guanglin was trying to form a Nascent Soul at this moment, and that he would definitely succeed and become a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Even so, Xue Kong was not worried.

After a fierce battle with Huangfu Wensheng and others, Master Guanglin was left with injuries in his body, and the formation of a fetus was not smooth. It took decades to successfully form a fetus.

By the time he had conceived his infant child, Xue Kong would have probably already left his hometown and was no longer in Jingwu Country, so why would he be afraid of being hunted down by Master Guanglin?

Seeing that Xue Kong was unmoved by any persuasion, the head of the Law Enforcement Hall finally sighed secretly. He could earn more spirit stones if he lost them, but if Guanglan City was lost, he would not be able to explain to Master Guanglin.

What's more, with the cultivation level of the Hanshan Patriarch, it would only take a little more time to snatch the spirit stones after destroying Guanglan City. In this case, it would be better to hand them over voluntarily and save Guanglan City.
