  PS【Alright, alright, I know my updates have been weak. Let me reflect on this for a bit, and I've really decided to work harder from now on!!! Tomorrow at 8am sharp, there will be an update. After the 8am update, it'll be 2pm, so I hope everyone can give their support! Join the Demon Army, please vote and collect, thank you! ^_^】

  "It's indeed the Phoenix Scroll! The second deputy captain of the assassination squad, the scythe that takes lives!" A high-ranking killer behind him, who had reached the mid-term of the Three Mysteries Realm, also made an examination and judgment.

  "I really didn't think the Phoenix would kill a fellow assassin. If the higher-ups find out, we'll be severely punished." Another high-level assassin sighed in a sharp voice.

  "Hmph! A mere low-level killer, even if it were the Phoenix itself, my power could still deceive heaven and earth! Moreover, the Phoenix is not a killer at all." Fengche Xue pointed coldly at the waist of Goumian Huluwa: "You see, this person's internal Qiankun has disappeared, and their Hongying armor has been stripped bare. The Phoenix would never do something so boring."

  "Has Fenghuang returned?" Fēng Chē's face was unusually solemn.

  "Not yet." Several people behind him replied truthfully.

  "Oh no!"

  Feng Che's face changed drastically as he connected everything together, and got an answer that terrified him: "Phoenix is very likely to have encountered a disaster! Get me life information, mobilize all personnel to find the deadly Phoenix! What does the superior think, I'll take it on myself!"

  "It's all right."

  A cold voice came from nowhere, and a flash of chill light suddenly flashed in Fengche Xue's eyes. A woman in red robes quietly descended from the layered shadows of the trees.

  "Feng Huang, are you alright? Where's that red shadow suit of yours?" asked Feng Che Xue upon seeing Duoming Feng Huang appear.

  "It's broken."

  The Phoenix of Life and Death lightly uttered two words.

  "Impossible!" Fengche Xue hummed: "Your Red Shadow suit is the special edition of the General Commander, whether it's the sickle, dagger, boots or cloak, all have attribute-imbued spirit seals! How could it be easily damaged! Are you saying that beast stole your Red Shadow suit?"

  "Mind your own business."

  The Phoenix of Death stared at Fengche Xue with an expressionless face: "A despicable person will always be despicable. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my current strength would far surpass yours. Stop showing off your strength and pretending to be a hero here, it makes me sick!"

  Feng Che Xue listened and his face didn't look good either. He sank into thought and said: "Phoenix, these are all things of the past."

  "Is that in the past? Sorry, you and I don't have any language. You just need to remember what I said, anyone who offends me will die. Whether it's him or you! I warn you again, don't interfere with things that are none of your business!"

  The Phoenix's cold and detached attitude kept Feng Xue's face gloomy, the assassins around them heard their conversation and lowered their heads, remaining silent, not daring to interrupt.

  "Phoenix, it's all for your own good..."

  After a long time, the windmill sighed deeply. At this moment, the life-taking phoenix had already jumped back onto the tree and quickly disappeared. That face, which looked like a celestial being, was full of ominous killing intent, making it seem so out of place.

  "Go!"

  The windmill snow let out a loud roar, and all the killers transformed into a streak of spiritual light and disappeared on the spot.

  "Captain, shall we send someone to look for his whereabouts?"

  Everyone can see it, this incident has a great connection with Aizen's subordinate, that young man named Ichimaru Gin.

  Feng Chui's face was cold and stern as he growled, "Search for him! If you find this person, there is no need to report back. Kill him without hesitation! A reward of one 3rd-grade spirit stone will be given!"

  In the biting cold wind, the sound of a snowstorm raging like a furious windmill came, but it was unknown what kind of disaster this would bring.

  In the Blood Prison, acting at night was not a wise decision, but with time running out, Zhuo Yifan still decided to move forward under the cover of darkness, and quickly reunite with his teammates, and personally deliver a huge surprise to them.

  A "whoosh" sound came, a curved scythe struck the skull of a skeletal wolfman king's head, instantly cutting off his head, and his life value immediately dropped to zero.

  Hehe! Several Tian Di Ling Zi drilled into the Magic Pupil, transforming into experience points, causing a gloomy smile to appear on Zhuo Yifan's face.

  He remembered that just over a dozen days ago, he was still fleeing in disarray from the pursuit of the Wolf King. He never expected that such a short period of change would turn the relationship between hunter and prey upside down.

  "These spirit soldiers are indeed unusual, their sharpness is two to three times higher than the Cold Calamity Sword. Unfortunately, it's not my own power, sooner or later, I will also be able to shuttle through the entire Blood Hell with my bare hands!" Along the way, Zhuo Yifan alternated between using scythe and dagger, and also discovered a few unusual aspects.

  With the "Phoenix Scroll" in hand, he gazed at the corpse of the skeletal wolf king, his eyes filled with cold laughter. The purple glow in his pupils swirled and shot out into the void, transforming into a misty veil of purple fog that enveloped his body, refusing to disperse. In this moment, he felt as if he had been demonized, transformed into a demonic deity.

  The evil eye just swept lightly, as if it could affect people's minds and make them produce all kinds of terrible negative powers.

  "Congratulations, your Magic Eye has been upgraded. Current Magic Eye level: 5, Experience value: 0/1000."

  Listening to the voice in his mind, Zhuo Yifan confirmed that there was no danger around him and hid himself under the leaves.

  As the mind stirred, the strange energy flowing out of the demonic pupil suddenly accelerated, greatly increasing its power. Through the demonic pupil as a medium, it flashed through the soul like lightning, flowing to the entire body, causing the entire soul to ascend. In the instant that the alien force poured into his soul, Zhuo Yifan held his breath and concentrated, secretly accumulating energy.

  "Hahaha!"

  Zhuo Yifan suddenly opened his eyes, and two purple lights of extreme magic burst out from his pupils, rubbing against the air to produce a strange sound. This sudden release of purple light was like fog, but it did not condense, flying all the way to the distance before dispersing.

  Zhuo Yifan's eyes sparkled with magic light, he remembered the last time his magical pupils burst out with rainbow light, at that time he had grasped two small skills "Soul Inspection" and "Dynamic Vision".

  Could it be that Mōdòu is going to bring new skills for himself?

  At this thought, Zhuo Yifan was surprised and delighted. He closed his eyes, curiously activating the power of the Demon Eye. A strange energy accompanied that unfamiliar voice, finally transmitting into Zhuo Yifan's mind.

  "Congratulations, your Magic Eye has been upgraded to level 5. You have learned the Magic Eye technique: Soul Fusion."

  As soon as the words fell, a group of memories rippled in his mind, this was a strange technique derived from the fusion soul pupil, which seemed to have a great effect on the soul, and was deeply imprinted in Zhuo Yifan's memory.

  "Soul Refining?"

  In the gleam of his eyes, under the wrapping of leaves, Zhuo Yifan's face revealed an expression of wild joy. He had thought that the upgrade of his Magic Pupil was only a sign of the strength or weakness of his gaze, but unexpectedly, it actually brought him new skills, and what's more, it was a Soul Cultivation Method!

  Although he had inherited the memory, he still didn't know its specific function. So Zhuo Yifan decided to cultivate the first level of "Fusion Soul Refining" and see what changes would occur in his soul.

  The Demon Eye opens, following the "Merging Soul Refining" cultivation method, Zhuo Yifan first lets that special foreign power surging out of the Demon Eye, along with the orange spiritual energy, rush into the Heaven Spirit Hole. Suddenly, intense pain arrives!

  It's not the pain of the flesh, but the pain of the soul!

  The strange power burst into the Heavenly Spirit Cave, like a wild horse breaking free from its reins, instantly becoming violent and forming a terrifying whirlpool that compressed souls.

  Zhuo's mind suddenly became chaotic, and he hastily countered the foreign power. He only felt a tearing pain deep within his soul, as if the foreign power was surging like a wild beast, instantly impacting his entire body.

  "If this goes on, my spiritual brain will be shattered! I must concentrate my mind!" With a fierce bite of his tongue tip, Zhuo Yifan kept his head clear and entered the realm of soul meditation. In the world of souls, time passed by minute and second, and he began to cultivate day and night without distinction.

  It wasn't until much later that Zhuo Yifan slowly came to a stop, gradually regaining consciousness.

  Although he had been cultivating in the spiritual world for three days, less than half a stick of incense had passed in reality.

  "My soul is being refined, my spirit is being compressed, it's simply too painful!" Zhuo Yifan panted, sweating profusely, and couldn't care about anything else. He immediately closed his eyes and cast a Soul Inspection on himself to check the changes in his body.

  Basic Strength: 30 Elephant

  Basic Defense: 20 Elephant

  Base Speed: 80

  Basic Meditation Power: 1.2!

  A few lines of information flashed rapidly in Zhuo Yifan's mind, power, defense and speed had increased by another level, which made him extremely surprised, and what made him even more delighted was that his meditation had actually increased by two points. A 0.1 advancement, for a soul cultivator, was a qualitative leap!

  Soul Quality: Top-grade Primary

  "The quality of soul has declined."

  Upon seeing the last line of information, Zhuo Yifan let out a sigh of relief. He knew that this was a normal reaction caused by the Soul Technique brought about by the Demon Eyes.

  What is meant by "merging the soul and refining it" is to retreat in order to advance, compressing the quality of one's soul. It appears that the quality of the soul has decreased somewhat, but in reality, Zhuo Yifan's soul quality is even more noble than that of ordinary high-grade spiritual masters!

  To illustrate, the same piece of iron, one that has undergone thousands of times of high-temperature forging, although its volume is reduced, its hardness far exceeds some hastily forged scrap iron. The weapon forged from it will naturally be indestructible.

  Refine the soul, just like this hammer. While Zhuo Yifan absorbs souls to improve their quality, he constantly compresses and squeezes out impurities, tempering a stronger soul!

  With this bizarre soul technique, from now on, Zhuo Yifan's power will be unmatched!

  Zhuo Yifan was already very satisfied with this.

  "Huh? It seems that the Soul Fusion has brought something else...". Just as Zhuo Yifan was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some mysterious things in his mind...
