After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Chapter 469: No Need for Your Trickery, I Came on My Own

This, this...

The Red Fox looked in horror at the ancient bronze bell in You Yi’s hand, her eyes nearly popping out in shock, her face flushed with strained pain.

Soul-Attracting Bell...!

This is the Soul-Attracting Bell! How is this possible?

Wasn’t it said that You Yi’s Soul-Attracting Bell was destroyed by Qiangwei before? How does he still have one in his hand now??

Nothing more vividly proves whether a person is human or a demon than when the bell rings, marking either nothing happening or an instant descent into a fate worse than death.

Since coming to Beijing, You Yi had been searching for demons in the capital, exterminating all he could find.

When demons disguise themselves as humans, even the most perceptive demon hunters might find it hard not to let some slip through the cracks.

But with the Soul-Attracting Bell, it was different. No matter how well you disguised yourself, the sound of the bell would reveal your true form as either human or demon.

The Soul-Attracting Bell was originally the most powerful magic artifact for seeking demons in the family, crafted and passed down by ancestors. Passed down through generations, by the time it reached You Yi’s generation, there were only two left of the original dozens.

You Yi once had a Soul-Attracting Bell, which he used abroad to hunt demons, but it was destroyed by Qiangwei. Not capturing a demon with it and instead letting it be destroyed by a demon was a grave error. By rights, You Yi shouldn’t have been able to obtain another Soul-Attracting Bell.

However, because You Yi was the most upright and capable among the younger generation in the family, the elders gave him the family’s last Soul-Attracting Bell when he came to Beijing.

Ever since, You Yi had kept the Soul-Attracting Bell with him almost at all times, bringing it everywhere just in case.

He never thought that attending Old Mr. Huo’s birthday banquet today out of human courtesy, he’d end up using it, and encounter two demons at once.

Outside Wenyu Hall.

Lu Sheng recovered from the discomfort caused by the bell ringing earlier, taking a deep breath.

She walked a few steps forward along the wall, peering through the gap beside the main door into the hall.

In the Great Hall, the Red Fox and Lin Fangling clutched their heads, wailing incessantly on the floor, unable to maintain their human disguise. You Yi merely watched coldly.

But in the next second, You Yi flipped his hand over. A golden nail-like object suddenly floated above his palm.

——It was the Soul-devouring Nail.

Lu Sheng’s pupils slightly contracted.

She was all too familiar with this thing, and the Red Fox and Lin Fangling should be as well.

"No, don’t kill me!!"

Sure enough, at the sight of the Soul-devouring Nail, Lin Fangling nearly lost her mind from fear, screaming and crawling backward.

The Green Fox was no longer concerned with her current body. As long as her soul could escape from the human body, she could flee. If she managed to escape, she might find another suitable body to reincarnate into later.

Thus, Lu Sheng watched as Lin Fangling’s body collapsed to the ground instantly, and a wisp of green smoke drifted from the body, heading straight for the door.

Not good.

Lin Fangling was trying to escape.

Lu Sheng frowned deeply. One of her reasons for following was to ensure that if You Yi failed to kill Lin Fangling, she would do it herself. If the Green Fox escaped, there was a chance she would return.

But before Lu Sheng could decide whether to act, at the moment the Green Fox’s soul left her body, You Yi in the hall reacted with a fierce expression.

His refined features showed intent to kill, and the Soul-devouring Nail in his hand whizzed toward the wisp of smoke.

The next moment.

The nail, glowing with golden light, hit the wisp of smoke precisely!

Once the Soul-devouring Nail touched a demon soul, the demon would instantly reveal its true form.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, a convulsing Green Fox, pinned through the shoulder, fell to the ground from midair.

"Green Fox?"

You Yi’s expression grew colder.

His actions showed no hesitation, not giving the Green Fox any chance to recover.

With a raise of his hand, he withdrew the Soul-devouring Nail and thrust it out again, this time aiming directly at the Green Fox’s heart.
