Tang Yan had not walked too far from the scene when he felt a powerful surge from his soul. It was unknown to him that his soul, which occupied this body, was as powerful as it was before he transmigrated.
He could feel his whole body tearing from within, unable to stand the outburst. "How could this happen? No, this feels unreal. I have to find a safe place and begin to seal its power before something bad happens. Even my nascent soul is present," he thought, being baffled.
He ran into a nearby forest reserve, bleeding from all parts of his body. Even his bones, which had been made strong, began to crack, along with his internal organs tearing at a very fast speed.
When he arrived at the forest reserve, the living animals nearby began to burst into nothingness. Tang Yan sat down on the ground, not caring about the living things in the area, trying to think of a suitable seal to place on his soul.
"Damnit, why didn't I learn anything from Master about seals before killing him? This is not going to end well if I suddenly burst," he roared.
At the last moment before his body was about to splatter, a strange seal appeared in his consciousness. The seal had four layers, and each layer had two sub-layers containing a strong destructive bond.
Without a second thought, Tang Yan placed the seals on himself, leaving only the first seal opened. The first seal's first sub-layer, also known as the first floor, could unleash only ten percent of his soul power.
The reason why Tang Yan left the first seal opened was to use the soul power to repair his internal and external body. The sky darkened, and the air seemed to tear apart, wanting to unleash a tribulation thunder.
The security guards, who had been watching the whole scene, were filled with awe of Tang Yan. To them, those who could do that were masters or rulers in the Sky City.
The sky kept rumbling, with rain pouring down. Tang Yan, even after sealing his soul power, still had his body tearing continuously as he tried to repair it.
After an unknown period, his body was finally fixed, with a fair, glittering color. His bones had evolved into golden ones, which was unexpected.
"What the hell just happened to me? I thought it would have damaged my soul, having traveled to another realm to reincarnate. Why did the living things that neared me at that time vanish? Also, how did I know this seal technique? Why has my soul strength increased?" Tang Yan had many questions for himself, but even after many thoughts, he couldn't seem to have answers to them.
The rain kept falling heavily for a while before the sky returned to its previous state.
At Tang Yan's home, Old Three visited to confirm his suspicion about whether Tang Yan had saved the mayor or not. He knocked on the door, glancing around to see if there was anything strange.
It was the first time he was interested in someone, especially a person he had been with for a while.
The door was opened by Tang Sisi, who had a Loli face and a bright smile.
"Aunt Su, an old man is here looking suspicious," Tang Sisi said.
Old Three felt sad, being caught in the act by a five-year-old girl.
Mrs. Su, at the moment, came out with a kitchen spoon in hand and an apron worn.
"Old Three, what are you doing here?" she asked, patting Tang Sisi on the head.
"Go help Chen'er with the serving," she whispered to Sisi.
"I was curious if Tang Yan is at home," Old Three said with a wry smile on his face.
"Actually, he was taken away by the cops last night and sent me a message to help take care of his siblings for the time being. That's why I decided to pack up my things and start living here," Mrs. Su explained.
"Oh, that's great. You previous home was attacked earlier today by the rain, causing it to be flooded and leaving it in a mess. Come to think of it, isn't it supposed to be wet here?" Old Three asked.
"Eh... it didn't rain in this neighborhood, except for the mysterious change in weather. Do you think it's those people?" Mrs. Su asked.
The old man in front of her had once told her a secret that he was an elder from the Fiendish Sect, which was located in the Zhi Floating City. Those who were from there were said to have extraordinary backgrounds and strength in martial arts.
"No, I doubt that," he said, turning to leave.
"It's better for you to stay here and open your restaurant, since the boss of the construction site said to go for a two-month break," the old man added, not pausing in his steps.
Getting outside the neighborhood, Old Three felt that he had just left a fresh environment. Outside the neighborhood gave him a troubled atmosphere, while the inside gave a relieved and pure atmosphere.
"Seems this place has some secrets. I have to tell Old Two and One about this," he muttered, strolling away.
Tang Yan, still looking around to escape the reserve, finally walked into a group of passersby, blending in.
"Why does it seem harder to escape just now, or am I just overthinking it?" Tang Yan said to himself.
Meanwhile, Old Three couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. He decided to investigate further and returned to the neighborhood, keeping a low profile as he observed the surroundings.
As the days passed, Tang Yan's life returned to normal. He went back to school, and his siblings continued their daily routines. However, the mysterious events surrounding Tang Yan's soul and the strange seal he had placed on himself remained a mystery, waiting to be unraveled.
In the shadows, Old Three continued to watch over Tang Yan, sensing that the young man was more than meets the eye. The Fiendish Sect elder's curiosity had been piqued, and he was determined to uncover the truth about Tang Yan's past and his connection to the mysterious incident happening.
