Such a strange cultivation bag sparked Song Shen's interest and curiosity to heaven. At the same time, he wanted to humiliate the Li family in front of everyone present, so his rivals from the Li family would suffer thanks to Li Chi's actions. He certainly couldn't harm Li Chi but humiliating him was acceptable and what he wanted.
In addition, he was interested in Xia and Yu Lan because he felt that both had cultivation potential. Creating positive karma with the surviving residents could also boost his image in the city.
"Li Chi, why did you want to attack residents of Peng City?" Song Shen asked coldly, and Li Chi was instantly covered in cold sweat.
"Can't you see residents of Peng City when you look at them?" Roar Song Shen and Li Chi felt immediate pleasure from Song Shen's question. Mei Lin watched what was happening and felt that they were in a strange situation. All three of them had identification tokens, so if they had a suspicion, they could just ask.
"Brother Shen, I have a suspicion that they are also part of the bandit's group, so I wanted to inspect them, but they tried to resist." Answered Li Chi. Song Shen smiled coldly at Li Chi and then shifted his gaze to Mei Lin.
Song Shen moved with his long white sleeve and both Xia's and Yu Lan's storage spaces started seeping out items. Xia's storage space was filled with different kinds of dried plants, seeds, machetes, knives, and storage bags. Yu Lan's was also filled with brushes, palettes, sealed bottles with paint, finished paintings, and one small picture, not fully complete slug house which was the same as the one which was next to Xu tea-house.
They were heavily equipped with weapons and things that they packed when they left the city to explore the canyon just before bandits attacked the city. They were very lucky that they were not in the city when the attack started, but after it finally ended, they went back a acquired these storage spaces from non-cultivator bandits.
At last, Song Shen moved the storage bag, which was inside Xia's storage space into his hand. Not only him but even others saw that Xia had such a strange storage bag. As he looked inside, he saw that bag, he saw a large number of spirit stones and a golden token with a seal on it.
Song Shen's spirit sense touched the token, and as it touched it, his spirit sense was destroyed in the instant. Song Shen felt that his spirit sense was crushed, so he tried to sever the connection to it, but before he managed to do it, his spirit sense was destroyed, and he suffered a backslash.
Pain spread through Song Shen's and a surge of golden light emerged from the storage bag and blinded everyone who was looking in the direction of Xia's storage bag. All cultivators present who were looking at the storage bag in Song Shen's hand started screaming from extreme pain.
Mei Lin immediately got a hunch, that meeting the young man right outside the auction house was probably not just some kind of mere luck, but probably the other way around. In an instant bright light exploded from inside the storage bag and everyone who stood in the way of the light was immediately burned.
Song Shen's hand and eyes which were most exposed to the light were instantly burned to a crisp, and as he tried to block the light, a storage bag fell from his hand and started falling on the ground next to other things, which were pulled out from their storage spaces.
The golden light shined so bright that wandering groups of disciplines immediately rushed forward to find out as much as possible, in the hope of achieving merit and acquiring the golden light for themselves.
As they closed in the saw golden light quickly disappeared and only sect disciplines around the spot where was glowing light were there. All of them looked like they were going through hell, their eyes were bleeding and their skin was burned.
Song Shen was burned across his face along with his hand. His hand looked like a black bone. His beautiful clothes were burned on his skin, and he looked like he was burned crisp.
"What happened here? We need to report this to the sect. Who did this? Who is the one with the burned face? Is he a bandit?"
"We should kill him as fast as possible."
The conversation spread all over the disciplines because Song Shen's face was burned off along his clothes and natural emitting aura of the QI Condensation cultivator. Normally everyone would recognize him as a chosen one of the Song family, but his cultivation base was shaken and his spiritual sense was destroyed by the golden token.
"How did the golden light appear?" The conversation was still ongoing, and everyone was interested in what happened. Just as all disciplines were guessing what happened, fear appeared on Li Chi's face, because he realized what happened. None of his and Song Shen's protection items were able to stop the light from acting.
Even despite his not good position in the Chi family, he was still the firstborn in the generation, so he had the best kinds of protection treasures, only inferior to the chosen one from his generation Song Shen.
Mei Lin smiled as she saw that everyone close to the storage bag was not spared and she, Xia and Yu Lan were completely fine and thought about that strange light. Mei Lin couldn't find the explanation for such a strange light attack.
'That was strange. How was it possible that none of our protection treasures worked? It must have been attacked from the Core Formation realm. That bastard is a member of leading families and even fatty fears him. Still, he was nearly burned to ask by the light.'
Mei Lin had no idea what happened, unlike her both Song Shen and Li Chi discovered what happened in an instant he suddenly remembered something.
"A long time ago, when the City Lord entered into the Core Formation realm, he passed strange tribulation and in a state of enlightenment he created his unique power of the mirror, which helped him acquire the position of City Lord and more than a thousand years holds this position, thanks to his strength."
Without further delay, Li Chi stood up and clasped his hands to lay Mei Lin and unconsciousness Xia and Yu Lan. "Li family didn't want to cause you such trouble," said Li Chi politely, and because he wasn't looking directly into the light, his vision was already restored to his left and along with him cultivators with him as fast as possible.
