Chapter 531 Facing the Facts
Yun Chen withdrew his golden body as soon as he was sure he had landed safely, so it took him longer than Han Lian to regain consciousness after being rescued by the patrolman and taken back to the hut.

Meanwhile, the patrolman was contacting headquarters to prepare to send Yun Chen, who had been unconscious for seven days, to the hospital, fearing that he would starve to death in his hut. Just then, Yun Chen opened his eyes.

"Amitabha! Did you save this poor monk?"

Yun Chen slowly sat up, put his hands together and asked, his voice was a little hoarse and weak, but he still spoke quite clearly.

When patrolman Song Hao heard the sound and turned around, he found that the person he had rescued was awake. He immediately hung up the phone, looked Yun Chen up and down, and then asked:

"Are you alright? What happened to you in the deep mountains? Are you also a member of the extreme death faction?"

Yun Chen didn't understand the other person's last sentence, but he still replied earnestly:
"I'm alright, I'll recover after some time of meditation. I ended up here because I got separated from my companions. As for what you mean by 'extreme death faction'?"

The patrolman could tell that Yun Chen genuinely didn't know about the "extreme death faction," so he scratched his head and said:

"The extreme death faction is a force that has developed on Weilan Star in the last twenty years. They all believe that when a person's life ends, the body and soul should be destroyed together. They are unwilling to let their souls be collected by the 'Soul Collectors', so they choose to end their lives in some remote places so that the 'Soul Collectors' have no chance to collect their souls."

"Amitabha! This is inappropriate!"

Yun Chen immediately put his hands together and said, his handsome face showing displeasure for the first time. He felt that people who did not abide by the laws of reincarnation did not deserve his respect.

After listening to Yun Chen's words, the patrolman was once again certain that the other party was not a member of the "extreme death faction." However, he still felt that the bald man's way of speaking was a bit strange, so he pressed for an answer:

"What's your name? Can you contact your friends to pick you up? I didn't find any identification on you, nor could I contact your relatives."

Yun Chen replied politely:
"My name is Yun Chen. Thank you for saving me. I will contact my friends right away."

After speaking, he took out a communication jade slip from his storage arm ring, first checking if there were any messages inside. Finding no messages from Ranxi and the other two, he sent messages to each of them. After putting the communication jade slip away, he looked up and said:
"I'm sorry, I may have to stay here for a while. My friend will contact me after receiving the message."

The patrolman asked with a curious look:

"Was that the latest communication equipment you were holding just now? It's the first time I've ever seen it."

Yun Chen could only vaguely say:
"This is a communication jade slip I use to contact my friends; you probably don't have one here."

The patrolman, thinking he had saved a high-ranking member of the Weilan Star, happily went to prepare food and drink, hoping to get a good reward for entertaining the people in front of him.

Yun Chen then released his divine sense to observe his surroundings, and he realized that his divine sense had been suppressed to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm. There were only a faint, negligible speck of spiritual energy in the surrounding environment, which was even less than the mortal realm of the Weiyu Realm.

Yun Chen confirmed that he had not fallen into the Weiyu Realm. Then he held the spirit stone and began to meditate and regulate his breathing. He wanted to adjust his condition before leaving this place to find his companions. He had a very bad feeling about this place.

A day later, Yun Chen recovered to his peak condition and then began to slowly inquire about the current state of the world from the patrolmen.

Just as Yunchen was learning about new things, the patrolman received an alarm that someone had trespassed into the remote, uninhabited area of ​​the mountains and asked him to stop them immediately.

"These lunatics are at it again. They have to cause this mess every year. Is it really necessary?"

As Song Hao muttered something, he put on his gear, preparing to stop the madman he was talking about.

Yun Chen asked curiously:
What are these people doing in the deep mountains?

"What else can they do but court death! They're what I called the 'extreme death faction.' To avoid the 'Soul Collectors,' they go wherever is hidden or dangerous. I've encountered them several times already." Yun Chen said after thinking for a moment.

"I'll go with you."

"You've only just recovered, are you strong enough to keep up? The deep mountains are very dangerous."

"This humble monk is willing."

Song Hao didn't stop him. He armed himself and left the wooden house, heading towards the remote, uninhabited area in the deep mountains where the alarm had been issued. Yun Chen followed closely behind him, already using his divine sense to search for the figures of those people.

In a short while, Yun Chen discovered the people who had ventured into the deep mountains. There were four people in total, two men and two women. One of the men and one of the women were in a very unstable state, on the verge of collapse. They were being pulled forward by the other two, stumbling and falling in a very sorry state.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, the person being pulled along could no longer move and said weakly:
"I can't walk anymore, my head is about to explode, let's end it here!"

The two, who were in better physical condition, exchanged a glance and nodded with difficulty:

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The two people, who were then in a state of mental instability, sat down on the ground, hugged each other, and then injected each other with sedatives. They then fell into a deep sleep, and their minds temporarily stabilized.

Upon seeing this, the other two immediately took out a small bottle from their spatial storage and threw it at the two of them. The next moment, blue flames burst into flames on their bodies.

Yun Chen was taken aback by the way the other party set themselves on fire. In the next instant, he flashed to the side of the two and extinguished the flames on their bodies with a wave of his sleeve.

The two who were still conscious immediately became alert. One of them blocked Yun Chen, while the other tried to burn them to death again.

Yun Chen was also speechless. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He immediately cast a spell to freeze the two of them before putting his hands together and saying:
"Amitabha! Why do you do such extreme things? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of things. Why do you forcibly end your own lives?"

The two people who were frozen in place were a little flustered, but the woman still shouted loudly:

"What do you know, you bald guy? We don't want to enter a new body with a decaying soul. Once we're dead, we're dead. If the body is destroyed, the soul will be destroyed too. Why are you trying to stop us!"

Yun Chen didn't react for a moment. Just as he was about to speak, Song Hao arrived breathlessly. Seeing Yun Chen, who had arrived before him, he looked surprised. Then, noticing the two of them in such an awkward position, he asked:

"Yun Chen, what's wrong?"

"They want to self-immolate."

After hearing this, Song Hao hissed and said irritably:

"Could you please stop adding more self-immolation cases to the scenic area? I have already contacted the police, and they will be here soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than two black figures descended from the sky, landing with a stylish air. The two glanced around the scene, and one of them took out a black metal box from his spatial storage. He clicked the lid twice, and after the lid sank, a black ring appeared, which then began to flow.

Yun Chen saw the souls of the four people in front of him leave their bodies and be sucked into the metal box. The two standing people also lost consciousness, and his own soul also showed a slight fluctuation.
