Chapter 4: The Hero Saves the Beauty, and the Beauty is Ah YinIn the middle of a group of wretched men, there was a girl about twelve years old. She had long blue hair, and as a blue light flashed in her hand, her Spirit seemed ready to be released at any moment.Unfortunately, the people across from her were no pushovers. Their presence here meant they were a Spirit Hunting Squad, a team whose goal was to hunt Spirit Beasts.And they were at least Spirit Masters around the rank of Spirit Elder. The girl before them, with her Blue Silver Grass Spirit, was naturally no match for them.Ye Xunfeng stood on a nearby tree branch, watching the scene calmly. Who was this girl?A Blue Silver Grass Spirit...Could a Blue Silver Grass Spirit reach level thirty or higher at the age of twelve?The person in front of him couldn't be Ah Yin, could she?Ye Xunfeng's pupils constricted slightly; this meant the timeline was still very early."Little beauty, we brothers don't want to hurt you..." The leading Spirit Master rubbed his hands together, even making a couple of grabbing motions in the air on purpose."Don't go too far." The girl's face was full of anger, though a faint trace of curiosity lingered in the depths of her eyes. Her Blue Silver Grass Spirit was fully released, and two yellow and one purple spirit rings slowly rose from beneath her feet."Heh, that's a decent spirit ring configuration. You look like a noble Young Miss. I wonder what a Young Miss tastes like. However, this is the Sunset Forest; even if you scream until your throat is raw, no one will ever know!" the leading Spirit Master laughed wildly with excitement.At the same time, he released his Spirit.It was a Mongrel Spirit. His already unsightly appearance became even more wretched, and four spirit rings rose beneath his feet: one white, two yellow, and one purple.A Spirit Ancestor.Seeing their leader release his Spirit, the members of the Spirit Hunting Squad followed suit, and white and yellow spirit rings rose from beneath their feet as well.Ye Xunfeng's gaze swept over these Spirits. They were all common Spirits with no fame, except for that Soft Bones Rabbit.Oh no, his eyes were going blind.There was nothing wrong with a Soft Bones Rabbit, and nothing wrong with a burly man.The problem was that the burly man's Spirit was a Soft Bones Rabbit.The Blue Silver Grass was ready, but the opponent was a Spirit Ancestor after all, and he was no pushover.The Mongrel Spirit Master released his Spirit, his third spirit ring flashing. Seeing their leader release a Spirit Ability, the other Spirit Masters followed suit.They focused on following up immediately after the start of the fight.In the next moment, a barrage of colorful Spirit Abilities flew toward Ah Yin.Ye Xunfeng gave a soft click of his tongue, the Qingtian Spear held in his hand.He observed the landing points of these Spirit Abilities and threw his spear.The spear descended, accompanied by a cascade of silver spirit power.The silver spirit power shielded Ah Yin in the center, while the others were instantly blown away by the shockwave from the Qingtian Spear's impact, sent flying in all directions."Who is it? Don't you know your grandpa is the king of this Sunset Forest..." The Mongrel Spirit Master started cursing, but he stopped after only a few words, his face filled with terror and his whole body trembling.The Qingtian Spear in front of Ah Yin slowly pulled itself out of the ground and floated in mid-air.Seven spirit rings emerged one by one.Black, black, red, red, red, red, red.Two black and five red!A Spirit Saint!"Lord, have mercy!" The Mongrel Spirit Master completely lost control of his bladder and bowels, his voice trembling. He wanted to crawl up and kowtow, but he was pinned there by the pressure, unable to move.When Ah Yin saw those red spirit rings, she subconsciously took a step back. A trace of fear appeared in her eyes, though it quickly vanished.Ah Yin felt that these 100,000-year spirit rings were very strange, different from normal ones. Within these 100,000-year spirit rings, there was neither a Soul nor resentment.What was going on?However, it seemed the owner of this spear had likely never hunted a 100,000-year Spirit Beast.Ah Yin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, her hand gently patting her chest.The Qingtian Spear quickly cut through the air with a sudden boom, returning to Ye Xunfeng's hand.Everyone's gaze followed the Qingtian Spear and landed on Ye Xunfeng.The fifteen-year-old boy, wearing a faded long robe, stood on a tree branch, his clothes fluttering in the wind.Those ragged clothes could not hide the boy's high Spirits and extraordinary aura.Ye Xunfeng's foot lightly tapped the branch, and with a surge of spirit power, he landed in front of Ah Yin, slowly pulling her behind him."Mercy? This is the Sunset Forest; even if you scream until your throat is raw, no one will come to save you," Ye Xunfeng sneered, pointing the Qingtian Spear at the Mongrel Spirit Master and his group.Ah Yin looked at the boy in front of her with admiration, her eyes almost turning into stars."Please, I beg of you, don't kill us. We have elderly to support and children to raise. We... we just made a mistake for a moment..." The Mongrel Spirit Master at the lead begged desperately for mercy."Elderly to support and children to raise, huh? Are the people you've harmed any different?" Ye Xunfeng sneered, the tip of his spear pressing directly against the Mongrel Spirit Master's throat.Ah Yin nervously pulled on Ye Xunfeng's somewhat worn sleeve, a flash of indescribable hesitation in her eyes.Ye Xunfeng paused for a moment but ignored her.The first spirit ring on the Qingtian Spear suddenly lit up: the first Spirit Ability, Sweeping Through Armies.A ten-foot-long white light appeared before the spear. With one sweep, blood splattered everywhere, and the entire Spirit Hunting Squad perished on the spot.Blood splattered onto Ye Xunfeng's face, and there were faint bloodstains on his white clothes.Ye Xunfeng gently wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve and glanced at Ah Yin beside him."Hello, I am Ye Xunfeng." After putting away his Spirit, Ye Xunfeng slowly extended his hand toward Ah Yin."I am Ah Yin. Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life." Ah Yin took Ye Xunfeng's hand against the sunlight and said with a smile."No need for thanks. I would have saved anyone today," Ye Xunfeng said calmly after a moment of silence."But I still want to thank you. Can I go with you? I... I have no home anymore." Ah Yin curled her hands in front of her chest, looking at Ye Xunfeng with a pitiful expression.Ye Xunfeng hesitated for a moment before nodding.Now that Ah Yin had transformed, she was still a twelve-year-old girl. It would be better to keep her under his watch. Although he didn't need spirit rings, she was, after all, the mother of the future Child of Luck.One must always be prepared for the future.Tang San...Dislike him or not, his Golden Finger was not yet powerful enough to overturn everything, so he still had to prepare for the worst.Furthermore, the fundamental reason Tang San was eventually able to overthrow Spirit Hall was because of that group of people in Spirit Hall who possessed 'extraordinary wisdom.'If it weren't for the fact that his second Spirit was an Angel, he wouldn't want to bother with Spirit Hall's problems. Perhaps because of his mother's situation, he might even have been one of those who overthrew Spirit Hall.But his Spirit was an Angel after all, and with this Spirit, the chance of becoming a god in the future was very high; he only needed enough time and Power Of Faith.Therefore, he absolutely could not let the Angel become a symbol of evil...After running through these thoughts in his mind, Ye Xunfeng sighed. Forget it, the timeline was still early, there was still time for everything. He would take it one step at a time.
