[3rd person pov]

The three men along with the guy in pink and the old man siting on the seat inside the large and unfamiliar room.

The man on the Golden colored seat stood up and whipped his sleeves backwards.

Xianye and the younger liu prince Looked at each other and xianye mouthed.

"He rejects our prescence" And the younger nodded.

"so...Tell me what have you come here for?" The old man spoke with a smile.

xianye stood forward and Bowed.

"Excuse us for our unexpected visit and the misunderstandment in lantern town earlier, but we are cultivators from the other side and we are here to find someone...Tracking someone down rather" Xianye said with his full formalities.

the old man tilted his head and squinted his eyes a little before proceeding to approached xianye.

The man took a bottle of an alcoholic drink and took a cup and poured the drink into it.

" Tell me who are you Looking for? " The old man said.

Liu Tian cai stepped further forward.

"We are looking for the master and owner of this" Liu tian cai said and Took out a maroon colored amulet with a red pendant hanging down from it.

Sanwol showed the man a Case of similar looking amulets that they had found from those possessed attackers months ago.

The old man widened and the guy in pink beside him had their eyes petrified.

"Where did you get those?" The old man said.

" There was an attack set on our kingdom that mainly targets my clan and those who were killed had these stuff on them and we were guessing this...is a demonic thing" Xianye said.

The old man nodded and went closer.

"1st of all, Call me Leader Lin, My full name is Lin Cai Zhan,But i want you to address me as sect leader Lin, The leader of this sect you entered" Sect Leader Lin said and brushed off a dust from his sleeve and spun his Fan.

He picked up one of the Demonic looking emblems and examined everysingle one of them.

" I recognize these things" He said and Wu Tian cai and Huang Xianye's eyes gleamed.

"But i dont know what clan are these from,But it must be demonic" He continued and Tian cai and xianye exhaled in dissapointment.

"But sect leader Lin,Can you describe the clan to us ? " Xianye asked.

The clan leader looked at them expressionlessly.

"Sorry,But i cant" He said and Snapped his fingers.

in an instant the 3 are being dragged out of the room and out of the manor.

"Get your hands off of us!" Tian cai said and was thrown into the ground harshly and the gate was shut infront of their Dissapointed faces.

"Ah-Cai" Xianye rushed towards his future younger brother in law.

"i-im fine Prince Huang" Tian cai said and stood up.

"The map links the direction to this place but it seems like they are hiding something" Tian cai said and brushed off any dirt on him.

Sanwol sighs and speaks "Its best if we head back,Rest, make another plan" He said.

Xianye looked at him and spoke.

"Why?,This is the only plan that is possible to do?,The 2nd plan will be too hard,We had already gone this far"He said and sighed.

the 3 Nobles continued on and decided to return to lantern town.

"wait" Sanwol said and halted.

He pointed towards another direction.

"thats just another path sanwol,Lets head back and make another route" Xianye said and started to take steps.

"Um,Wait it think noble sanwol is pointing at something,I kinda have a feeling about that dimmed path" Tian Cai said and flashed a light beam from his fingers

onto the mysterious path.

"The beam stops just outside that path..." Tiancai added and retracted his hand.

"well i didnt know Wu clan has some abilites like that" Xianye applauded.

"Noble prince Huang, im the only one in the clan who has this ability" Tian cai said and chuckled.

Sanwol leaded the way towards the path.

as they got closer,there is A sign on the left that says

"DO NOT ENTER"

"well we are curious cunts,So let's go-" Xianye said and was about take another step when they heard a light but loudly eerie roar that resonates in their mind.

"There must be a creature hiding in this path,I think we should go" Sanwol said and Held xianye by putting his arm across the other's waist.

*pew*

Wu Tian cai and Lee sanwol were startled and went on alert after hearing that sound.

A small light ball zoomed into the slightly dark woods.

"Huang xianye what on earth did you just do!?" sanwol raised his voice a little with a mixture of protective anger.

"calm down,Im just curious" Xianye replied and pried off Sanwols arm and stepped into the now darkening forest.

another light but loudly eerie roar pulled them in and the wind blew heavier.

"You curious dare devil!,Look what you brought us into!" sanwol spoke in a warning tone.

"Im not listening to cowards" Xianye spoke coldly and drew something in the air with his fingers then his E note flute appeared infront of him,He grabbed it and brushed his fingers along it that made the carvings glow.

He leaded the walk along the path and got closer to what it seems a cave.

"I have an extremely bad feeling about this 2nd senior prince Huang" Wu Tian cai said and hid behind sanwol like a frightened kid.

"Dont worry junior,Me and sanwol are here" xianye said and grinned in excitement.

He flicked his middle and thumb fingers and it flung a Bead of light.

And then a loud dark roar welcomed the 3.

And appeared infont of them is a Corpse,untouched with no bruises or damages what so ever.

but what they saw is a man with wide open mouth and Extremely pale skin and Pure white eyes literally with no pupils.

"This guy looks like he was scared to death" Xianye said and took out his spirit detector and pointed it at the corpse.

"no soul?" He asked and pointed the gadget everywhere.

"No human soul detected..." He spoke with questions.

"Try using your flute,You learned a melody that makes you detect the corpse's soul right?" Sanwol said.

Xianye nodded and twirled out his flute.

He played the melody while looking at the corpse.

His eyes brightened and turned white and all he saw was nothing but darkness.

His vision was interrupted when the same roaring sound appeared again.

but this time,angerier.

"Its the sould eating demon!' Xianye said and casted a protective spell on them as they saw Red and black spirits flying around them.

and came out was what xianye speculated.

"Jin Duan xi,The soul wating demon!" Xianye said and drawn out his sword.

"Wow,Look at this friends,BREAKFAST,LUNCH AND DINNER!,AHAHAHAHAHAHA" Jin Duan xi spoke and laughed like an evil maniac.

His head spun slowly in 360 with bone cracking sounds.

"Huang Xianye~,Nice to see you again~,Have you come here to sell your soul~?" Duan xi Said and looked intensly at Xianye between the barrier dome.

"I have come here to arrest you and bring you to Hell,You have betrayed the cultivation realm and also the Heavens!" Xianye said with pain in his tone.

"oh My old friend,Hmhm,I DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR STUPID CULTIVATION CULTURE!,FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT BORING RULES!" Jin Duan xi yelled at them which also made the spirits around them scream and screech,imitating their master.

"WE SHALL HUNT!" once Duan xi said that,The spirit goons all came out and attacked the dome,Trying to break it.

"How long can this dome of yours stand?!" Sanwol said while clutching at his sword and protectively holding Wu Tian cai on his other hand.

"We need to face them,So we can get out" Xianye replied.

"But they are too many" Tian cai said in worry.

"no fear,i got this" Xianye said and Casted a Hand formation and casted its spell on the dome.

The beams are casted from his core that strengthens the dome.

"No!,Dont do that,It will weaken your core and spirit!" Tian cai warned.

"I know what im doing~" Xianye said.

He stopped his strengthen spell and took out his flute.

"I summon the dragon" He said and blew on his flute.

the powerful melody is a melody that xianye learned and mastered from his seniors,It requires alot of spirit and core strength to do it.

"Please dont use the Ultimate melody" Sanwol said and tried to stop him but a mist barrier wrapped around xianye.

As he reaches towards the song's climax.

he whips out a String from one hand and whipped it onto the barrier.

breaking it and Exposing them to the hungry ghosts.

But before the ghosts could even touch them.

Xianye's skills of playing Supreme melody(Ultimate melody) Attacks the core of the creatures.

weakening them little by little.

"Thats a string of the qin" Sanwol said and went back to fighting with the distracted goons.

Xianye stopped playing and took out more strings and plucked them like playing a Guitar.

"The dual instrument combo,HOW DID YOU MASTER THAT?!" Jin Duan xi said and became agitated in jealousy.

"Only the patient and Righteous can be able to master and complete the skill" Xianye said and plucked the strings towards Duan xi.

He countered the upcoming wave of force with a powerful force.

Xianye kept plucking while the 2 others are fighting with swords.

The battles gets even more intense as Duan xi becomes even more angrier.

"XIANYE!*UGH* THEY ARE GETTING STRONGER!" Sanwol said.

Xianye kept plucking unbothered for more minutes until stopping and stepping on the floating strings and bounced on it like trampoline.

He uses his flute again while playing the strings with the power of music.

"HOW?!" Duan xi yells in raging anger.

None of his moves work on hitting xianye,It just reflects and then dissolves.

It makes him even more angrier.

"ARRRAAAAGGGHH" The soul eating demon yells in anger once again.

Tian cai and Sanwol becomes even more exhausted.

"Time to end this battle" Xianye mentally speaks and plays a different tune.

and in the 1st seconds of the tune.

His mighty dragon assistant emergese from him and starts devouring the ghostly goons of Jin Duan xi.

"NO,NO!!!" Duan xi tries defends himself from the upcoming mouth of the dragon.

Xianye finds the opportunity to strike and uses his power of music to control his sword and stabbed Duanxi in the heart,The core of his body.

the soul eating demon disnegrates into ashes and Xianye's dragon friend gobbles up his Spirit.

Locking it inside its stomach.
