The masked man walked down slowly.

Once he was in front of Qin Chuan, he spoke in a clear voice, "Mr. Qin, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."

Qin Chuan was very straightforward, "Actually, it has been a long time. If it I wasn't short of money, I wouldn't have come looking for you."

The masked man's smile froze.

Qin Chuan continued, "The gold is here. Have you prepared the money?"

He didn't want to say much. There were still things to do, so he had to hurry.

The masked man suppressed his displeasure and ordered his subordinates to bring the money over.

A few seconds later, strong men walked over with large sacks.

The masked man said, "Mr. Qin, there are ten million yuan in each bag. There are a total of nine bags."

Qin Chuan calmly cast a glance at them. He was completely calm, even in the face of so much money.

Now, money was like waste paper to him.

However, he was curious about what this masked man does for a living—bringing out 90 million yuan in cash without batting an eye.

Hence, Qin Chuan used the Aura Examination Technique on the masked man.

He saw the problem.

The masked man's aura was many times larger than that of an ordinary person, but on the surface of his aura, there were wisps of grayish-brown gases that looked like earthworms floating around.

The grayish-brown gas gave Qin Chuan an evil feeling.

For a moment, he began to suspect the masked man's identity.

At the same time, the masked man suddenly felt a chill on his body, as if he was naked and exposed to the air.

He noticed that Qin Chuan was staring at him.

"Could it be because of him?" The masked man thought to himself.

Qin Chuan retracted his gaze and glanced at the castle behind the masked man. His expression instantly changed.

In his eyes, the luxurious villa was enveloped by a cloud of huge grayish-brown gas. The sight shocked him.

He asked the system what the grayish-brown gas represented.

The system answered that it was an evil aura. It added that an evil soul was hidden beneath the castle.

An evil soul??

What is that?

Qin Chuan was confused.

He asked the system again.

The system replied, "Evil souls are a different type of soul. They are born from negative emotions of humans, such as anxiety, nervousness, anger, frustration, and so on.

"These negative emotions carry energy. After accumulating for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the negative energy will slowly become powerful and produce an evil soul.

"Evil souls hate everything. They will not spare any effort to destroy the world."

After Qin Chuan heard this, his face instantly darkened.

He still had to guide the nation to cultivate. Evil souls were highly harmful to the world. He had to eliminate them.

Having made his decision, Qin Chuan retracted his gaze.

He said to the masked man, "Then we'll be leaving first."

The masked man smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, won't you stay and sit for a while longer?"

"No, I have something to do today."

"Alright, then I won't keep Mr. Qin."

After speaking, the masked man instructed his subordinates to put the bags of money into Qin Chuan's van.

After they loaded the money, Qin Chuan left, the van quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

After Qin Chuan left, the masked man's face sank.

In an instant, the atmosphere became exceptionally somber.

He ordered his subordinates to carry the gold into the hall.

After everyone left, the masked man closed the castle doors and came to the gold.

He squatted down and hugged it with both hands.

He easily lifted the chunk of gold weighing more than 200 kilograms.

Soon, he arrived at the bottomless underground.

"Master!" He put the gold aside and knelt down.

A pair of huge eyes slowly opened in the dark space.

This mysterious creature was the evil soul.

The evil soul's pupils constricted abruptly when it saw the huge block of gold beside the masked man's feet. It was also extremely surprised.

Then, it eagerly extended its long tongue and swallowed the gold.

Ha——

"Wonderful!"

It burped happily and looked very satisfied.

"Master, I have something important to report."

The evil spirit looked down at the masked man. It was presently in a good mood, so it allowed the masked man to continue.

"Master, this block of gold came from that young man called Qin Chuan.

"He must have a considerable gold source in his possession. Why don't we rob him?

"Then, Master's strength will quickly return to its peak."

The evil soul's eyes lit up when it heard this, but it quickly returned to its original state.

It had existed for over ten thousand years. It had seen a lot of such robbing and seizing.

If it were in the past, it would not hesitate to do so.

But after experiencing so much, it had understood a principle: What goes around comes around.

Its injuries were caused by robbing someone else's gold mine a thousand years ago.

It thought that the person was weak, but they were a hidden powerhouse.

Behind that person was a reclusive martial arts family.

In that family, experts were everywhere. They had more than a hundred Great Grandmasters and twenty Transcendent experts, not to mention those above the Transcendent realm

At that time, it was lucky that it didn't die and managed to escape.

However, its vitality was also significantly damaged. Up till now, it had only recovered a tenth of its strength.

Therefore, it felt that since the other party had a considerable amount of gold resources, the power behind them would be considerable too.

Although martial arts had declined and technology had become the mainstream, those reclusive martial arts families still existed.

Furthermore, science and technology were so advanced now, and there were terrifying nuclear weapons. If the evil soul were hit with that, even at its peak, it wouldn't be able to survive.

Thus, it decided to continue to stay hidden and slowly recover its strength.

Let's leave the matter of destroying the world to the other evil souls!

I'll wait for them to tear this world to pieces before I, who will get as close to the maximum level, will come out of hiding.

Hmm! I really am a clever little evil soul.

Hence, it reminded the masked man not to look for trouble with Qin Chuan. Instead, he should keep to his usual routine of doing things and not meddle in other matters.

Since ordered by the evil soul, the masked man did not dare to persist.

Qin Chuan brought the money back to Cloud Mountain Guesthouse.

At the same time, other than the three people in the southern mountainous region, he also brought back the first batch of Divination students.

Everyone was stunned when they saw the amount of money.

The original four million was indeed nothing.

Then, Qin Chuan started to split the money.

Each person would get 1 million yuan, and the remaining amount would be split equally.

In the end, each person received about 1.1 million yuSo everyone was now a millionaire.

But, they would spend the money soon.

After splitting the money, they started working on the IOUs. Next, he would give them free rein.

Qin Chuan thought that it would be very difficult for them to obtain so much rations in such a short period of time. After all, it wasn't a business of a few hundred or a thousand, but a few million, not to mention there were many of them making the purchases.

However,

Qin Chuan had underestimated their abilities.

After all, they were old men and women. Moreover, after so many years, they had accumulated a lot of connections.

Within a few hours, they had gathered the necessary rations.

They would be swamped with work in the near future.

After Qin Chuan sent them out, he went to the manor where the masked man stayed.

As he hovered in the air, he extended his divine consciousness. Every corner of the manor appeared in his mind.

He soon discovered the abnormal space under the castle.
