417: Section 417

The barbecue stand had disappeared.

Even the passersby who had been entranced had vanished.

In their place was the vast Universe.

Within the endless darkness, planets were orbiting.

Beams of starlight shone like beacons in this Universe.

Guiding those lost within the Universe.

The Middle-aged Man lowered his head, looking in terror at the endless darkness beneath his feet.

If he were to fall down, there would likely be no end...

"Is this the Mental Domain?"

After a long while, the Middle-aged Man said in astonishment.

Just as his words fell, Lin Yi appeared opposite him, riding a white tiger.

A colorful Divine Bird circled above his head.

"A 5-star Yao Beast, Mental Shackle!"

"You used this method to lock their minds, didn't you?"

Lin Yi asked with a chuckle.

The Middle-aged Man glanced at Lin Yi: "I, I don't understand what you are talking about!"

"You don't understand?"

Lin Yi nodded: "Then I won't bother wasting my breath on you!"

"Since you've entered my Mental Domain, don't expect to leave here alive!"

"Xiao Qi, Xiao Bai!"

"I'll leave it to you two!"

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Xiao Qi, who had already been poised for action, let out a clear, resounding cry.

It dove straight down from above toward the Middle-aged Man.

The white tiger let out a roar.

The moment Lin Yi jumped down, it lunged straight toward the Middle-aged Man.

As if it were afraid that being even a step slower would mean Xiao Qi would get there first.

Facing these two Divine Beasts, the Middle-aged Man's expression became increasingly terrified.

Being dragged into someone else's [Mental Space], he was completely restricted.

Even his innate skills could not be used.

Facing the onslaught of the two Divine Beasts, he could only choose to flee.

However, in this vast Universe, where could he possibly escape to?

Just as he turned around, Xiao Qi and the white tiger arrived simultaneously.

The white tiger opened its bloody maw and bit directly onto one of the man's legs.

And Xiao Qi, diving from the air, pecked straight through his head.

In an instant, the Middle-aged Man's mind was torn to shreds.

Xiao Qi and the white tiger scrambled for it, quickly devouring it entirely.

Only when the Yao Beast's mind had completely vanished did Lin Yi smile and leave the [Mental Domain].

When the scene returned to normal.

The Middle-aged Man, who had been grilling skewers, had a vacant look in his eyes.

The next moment, he transformed into a large bird and fell to the ground.

Lin Yi walked around the barbecue grill.

He casually collected the large bird into his Storage Ring.

[Congratulations, you have slain a 5-star Yao Beast. Do you wish to plunder its traits?]

Before Lin Yi's eyes, several long-coveted innate traits appeared.

He didn't even think about it before nodding.

"Plunder all!"

[Traits successfully plundered...]

The next moment, just as the bird Yao Beast died, the people around all suddenly snapped out of their trance.

"What's going on? Why am I here?"

"What happened here?"

"What's the situation? My head feels a bit heavy..."

"I think I smelled a fragrance just now and came over, but how..."

"What happened? My memories from just now are a blank slate!"

At this moment, these people were all a bit dazed.

Qin Zhaoxue also came to her senses, looking at the barbecue grill in front of her.

And the meat on it that had already been charred.

That enticing aroma of meat was gone.

In its place was a burnt smell. She furrowed her brows and said: "Lin Yi, what happened just now?"

Lin Yi looked back at her and said with a smile: "It's nothing. The owner of this barbecue stand doesn't know what he's doing. Let's go, the meat is all burnt and can't be eaten!"

"Okay!"

Qin Zhaoxue nodded without any questioning.

She followed Lin Yi as they walked out of the crowd.

The others who had been attracted by the aroma of the meat also felt confused.

Their memories from just a moment ago seemed as if they had been formatted by someone.

They also walked out in a daze.

At this moment, Chu Zhengxiong and Mo Yanfeng, who were outside, were also completely bewildered.

They exchanged glances.

"What's going on? Did someone break the situation?" Chu Zhengxiong asked strangely.

Mo Yanfeng nodded, pointing at Lin Yi and Qin Zhaoxue who were coming out of the crowd.

"The person who broke the situation has been found, look!"

Chu Zhengxiong hurriedly looked in the direction Mo Yanfeng was pointing.

The moment he saw Lin Yi.

He couldn't help but laugh.

"You mean to say, that kid Lin Yi broke the situation?"

"Who else could it be? You saw the whole situation just now!"

"Everyone else had their minds entranced, only he remained active!"

"This shows that Lin Yi's mental power is already terrifyingly strong!"

"But then again, don't you think Lin Yi is more suited for Monster Hunting? His sharpness and insight regarding Yao Beasts are far stronger than those sophomore and junior students!"

"Even sharper than those veteran Demon Hunters in the bureau!"

"Aren't you considering bringing him into the team? Perhaps he could become an outstanding Demon Hunter in the future!"

Mo Yanfeng said with a smile.

This was the first time he had recommended someone to Chu Zhengxiong.

It was clear that he had a very good impression of Lin Yi.

Chu Zhengxiong sighed softly and shook his head: "To tell you the truth, it's not that I haven't thought about it, but I dare not think about it!"

"Let alone whether the Yi Family would allow it, there is also the Martial Suppression Bureau watching from behind!"

"The Martial Suppression Bureau?"

Mo Yanfeng looked at him with some curiosity.

Chu Zhengxiong nodded: "I have noticed that ever since Lin Yi came to the New District, people from the Martial Suppression Bureau have been by his side!"

"Both openly and secretly!"

"Even now, there are people arranged by the Martial Suppression Bureau in our vicinity!"

"However, they have no malice toward Lin Yi; on the contrary, they are hostile to anyone who approaches him, including you and me!"

"What makes me strange is that besides the Martial Suppression Bureau, there is another group of people also in the shadows..."

After Chu Zhengxiong finished speaking.

Mo Yanfeng's heart stirred, and he hurriedly looked around.

No wonder all the way here, he always felt that someone was watching in the dark.
