Chapter 32: Soul-Binding Power
After gathering all the valuable items from the Nine Yin Sect, Zhang Yang discovered that they filled a total of thirty storage bags. He still needed to go back and collect the storage bags of those he had slain earlier to claim everything.
In the end, he set a great fire, reducing the Nine Yin Sect to ashes.
Carrying the unconscious Jin Yuguan, he made his way back.
But as he stepped out of the burning ruins, Zhang Yang hesitated—this was not the path he had come from.
He was lost again.
Frustrated, he tossed Jin Yuguan aside and sat down on a rock, waiting for someone to find him.
Being bad with directions was truly a nuisance.
He couldn’t understand it. Back in Qingshan Town, he had never felt lost. So why was it different now that he was outside?
Fifteen minutes passed.
He didn’t find his allies—but instead, he encountered two familiar faces.
Su Shentong!
Liu Changfeng!
Seeing them, Zhang Yang’s eyes lit up. These two were definitely "good guys."
He opened his mouth to call out but hesitated. Instead, as they were about to walk past him, he stretched and said, “What a good nap.”
His voice broke the silence, immediately catching their attention.
When they saw Zhang Yang, their faces brightened with joy.
“Oh? Isn’t this the brother who loves soul powers?” This time, it was Liu Changfeng who greeted him first instead of Su Shentong.
Zhang Yang responded, “It’s you two. What’s going on?”
“Haha! Don’t you love soul powers, brother? I just got my hands on a soul power martial arts technique recently,” Liu Changfeng said.
“Really?” Zhang Yang asked skeptically. “You two aren’t trying to give me another one that can’t be cultivated, are you?”
Liu Changfeng scoffed. “Of course not! Do you doubt my character?”
Zhang Yang said nothing and simply gave him a side glance.
Liu Changfeng took out a book and tossed it to Zhang Yang. “Take a look. This is a soul power martial arts technique with no prerequisites.”
Zhang Yang caught it and flipped through the pages.
His heart skipped a beat.
Soul Binding Power!
This technique specifically targeted souls, including common souls, ghostly spirits, undead beings, and zombies, making it highly effective against all dark entities.
It was indeed an exceptional soul power technique.
The book made no mention of prerequisites, but Zhang Yang knew there had to be some. Certain words in the introduction were missing, indicating that something had been deliberately concealed.
“This seems good. I’ll take it,” Zhang Yang said.
Liu Changfeng grinned. “But you’ll have to pay a fair price for it. This Soul Binding Power is quite extraordinary.”
Zhang Yang thought for a moment before taking out two Blood Spirit Flowers from his storage bag.
These were from the Nine Yin Sect.
Inside the Spirit Refinement Building, there had been countless rare flowers and herbs—over a thousand Blood Spirit Flowers alone.
“Two Blood Spirit Flowers. Do you want them? If not, that’s fine.”
Liu Changfeng burst into laughter. “Great! Great!”
He took the two Blood Spirit Flowers and waved them in front of Su Shentong, showing off his prize.
“Gentlemen, if you find any more soul power martial arts techniques in the future, remember to save some for me,” Zhang Yang said, confident in their ability to find such techniques—after all, four of his own had come from them.
Liu Changfeng chuckled. “No problem! We’ll definitely save some for you. Brother, we have to go now. We’re heading deeper to search for treasures.”
They clasped fists, exchanged farewells, and parted ways.
Liu Changfeng and Su Shentong walked away, chatting cheerfully.
Zhang Yang thought for a moment before calling out, “Make sure you don’t tell anyone you know me.”
Liu Changfeng turned back and waved, signaling his understanding.
Once they had gone far enough, Zhang Yang listened carefully and soon overheard their conversation.
“I heard Yun Liuhuo was killed, so we don’t need to participate in the title battle for him. Let’s just focus on treasure hunting—there are so many good things in this Vast Forest.”
“I was thinking the same thing! Hey, you really hit the jackpot this time. You traded a Soul Binding Power that can’t be cultivated for two Blood Spirit Flowers. That’s a huge profit! This might even awaken your bloodline. I remember your ancestors were quite impressive.”
“Speaking of which, that silly kid has so many good things—it makes me want to rob him! But unfortunately, this place suppresses our realms. Let’s be careful and avoid making enemies. Otherwise, getting killed would be too unfair.”
“Yeah, let’s go! I remember there’s a secret spot ahead. There might even be soul power techniques there. I’ll trade for more Blood Spirit Flowers from that silly kid.”
As the two continued talking, they disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Yang couldn’t help but laugh.
He flipped through the pages of Soul Binding Power and, without exception, mastered it at a glance.
This technique could serve as his trump card.
Those he couldn’t strike physically—he could attack their souls.
The question was: Were there even people in the Vast Forest who couldn’t be hit?
While he waited, Jin Yuguan regained consciousness. Zhang Yang knocked him out again.
After knocking Jin Yuguan out three times, Yuluan, Lang Xiaotian, and the others finally arrived.
“Lost again?” Yuluan asked.
Zhang Yang let out a dry laugh. “I got lost, but I didn’t dare to run away. I was afraid Sister Yuluan wouldn’t find me and would beat me.”
“Good boy,” Yuluan said.
Zhang Yang handed Jin Yuguan over to her.
Yuluan’s eyes immediately reddened. Without hesitation, she tossed him aside and began cleaning him up with the Snow Guards.
Meanwhile, Lang Xiaotian looked at the ashes of the ruins in confusion. “This… looks like the Nine Yin Sect.”
Li Yuheng frowned. “Yes, this is the Nine Yin Sect’s territory. But how did it get destroyed?”
The wolf cavalry of the Wolf King Guard Squad murmured among themselves.
The Nine Yin Sect had always been fearsome. Though small in number, their methods were insidious, especially with the Yin Corpses. Even Cang Wolf Palace had chosen to maintain a live-and-let-live approach out of caution.
“Did you say the Nine Yin Sect? I destroyed it,” Zhang Yang declared.
The entire Wolf King Guard Squad froze, staring at him in stunned silence.
Zhang Yang’s Astonishing Feat
Zhang Yang continued, “They actually dared to rescue Jin Yuguan, so I charged in and killed their Yin Corpses and the Yin Corpse King. In the end, I even killed Yin Mei.”
Lang Xiaotian’s mouth twitched.
One person brought down an entire sect!
And not just any sect—it was the Nine Yin Sect. While it might have been unknown outside the Vast Forest, within, it was feared as one of the most ruthless factions.
Who in the Vast Forest could possibly be Zhang Yang’s opponent?
At that moment, they found themselves eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Demon Slayer Team. No matter how many of them came, they would fight back.
All the members of the Wolf King Guard Squad stared at Zhang Yang with burning gazes, as if their eyes could melt metal.
Zhang Yang frowned. “What kind of looks are those? Sister Yuluan is here.”
Amid Jin Yuguan’s miserable cries, the Snow Guards went wild.
However, Yuluan did not let Jin Yuguan die—she intended to keep him alive to settle scores later.
Although he survived, he was destined to wish he hadn’t.
Return to Cang Wolf Palace
They returned to Cang Wolf Palace, where someone had already notified Li Kunhai and the others.
By the time they arrived, Li Kunhai and the four elders were waiting outside to greet them.
When they learned that Zhang Yang had single-handedly annihilated the Nine Yin Sect—a sect they had long feared—just to capture Jin Yuguan, Li Kunhai, the four elders, and the rest were left speechless.
After a long silence, one elder muttered, “Even the Wolf King has never shocked me this much in my entire life.”
Another added, “The Wolf King’s sister said there will be even more surprises in the future.”
A third elder chuckled, “Surprises are good. They train our hearts and improve our endurance—it’s practically exercise.”
“…”
