Chapter 28 Front Page Headlines
It was not until late at night that Li Yu hurried home with a puzzled look on his face.
After going out to investigate, he confirmed one thing: Yi Ya was indeed extremely cruel and greedy.
He invited a total of eleven evil neighbors, ten of whom were slaughtered and eaten by him, and at each crime scene, he set up symbolic scenes that highlighted his identity.
There is no doubt that if this guy is allowed to grow up, he will become one of the outstanding people of Wanfu City in the future.
In addition, thanks to the fact that it happened in Wanfu City, although this tragedy caused some unrest, it was all calm in just one day.
This is also what Li Yu hoped for. It would be best if no one cared and no one investigated.
However, there was one thing that puzzled him greatly, and that was Zhu Mei.
When Yi Ya attacks in Cui Yuan's guise!
Li Yu was certain that he could not kill Zhu Mei.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. The abbot of the Zhulao Temple was not dead. When people went to inquire, they only said that Zhu Mei was promoted to the main temple and would not come back.
"Zhu Mei's strength is at least on par with Yi Ya's."
"The Fallen Buddhism is stronger than the Forbidden God Sect, so it is impossible that Zhu Mei fled because he was afraid of Yi Ya."
"He is also a glutton for spiritual food. He just ate my meal."
"If there is no sudden emergency, how could you leave without saying goodbye?"
"Could it be that he is going to advance to the Black Maitreya Path Sequence 7 [Death Seeker]? Why is he so anxious?"
Li Yu suddenly remembered the secret he had discovered from Zhu Mei, but this still could not be explained.
On his way back, he did feel a little restless.
There are also far more steam airships and tower ships above the city than before.
Li Yu wanted to inquire, but he was a low-level cultivator and couldn't find anyone to ask anything for a while.
I could only guess in my heart: Is something big going to happen in Wanfu City? That's why Zhu Mei left suddenly.
Although he was a little confused, this strange situation was actually a good thing for Li Yu.
Anyone who knows will die!
The mark is cleared!
At the same time, there is no such thing as egg-banning in Li Yu's body.
He is now a genuine and authentic "Dan Tu" cultivator on the path of spiritual master. What he pursues is refining elixirs and taking Qi to achieve immortality. He has nothing to do with the cruel and cannibalistic forbidden god sect.
The survival problem that had worried Li Yu for days and that he had struggled with all means seemed to have been solved?
It was so smooth that even he couldn't believe it.
"Could it be that destiny is with me?"
"From now on, can I practice with peace of mind and wait for an opportunity to escape from Wanfu City?"
……
Li Yu was in a good mood because he had survived a disaster and it was also a happy event.
While he was thinking about the follow-up plan in his mind, he pulled his maid Hongdou and studied her mechanical body for most of the night.
Li Yu was particularly amazed by the "chain saw sword technique" that Bai Ri used to chase and chop Yi Ya.
If Hongdou hadn't warned her master that the spiritual energy stone in her body had been over-consumed due to the battle, and if it wasn't replaced with a new one within three days, she would have died directly. I'm afraid Li Yu would have pestered her for a few more times.
In desperation, Li Yu had to study himself and think about his future situation.
"Now I have a lot of money and rare items. Compared to cultivators of the same level, I am considered wealthy."
“But what is the use of being rich, a practitioner?”
"Strengths composed of special skills, secret medicine formulas, pathway sequences, etc. are the foundation. Especially in Wanfu City, Sequence Eight is nothing. You need to keep advancing. Sequence Seven may not be enough. Sequence Six should be able to be free and easy."
"It's just that it's hard for me to do it. In order to save my life, I have to choose this seemingly hopeless path. The gods who mastered this path have all fallen, so naturally I have no one to rely on. I don't even know what the next sequence is."
"Unfortunately, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Even if I wanted to change my path, it is impossible."
At this point, Li Yu suddenly thought of Yi Ya again.
During the day, he still regretted burning him with the elixir fire, so that after Yi Ya's death, only a pile of ashes was left, and there was no time to precipitate and condense the spiritual wonders.
This is one of the common rules in the world of practitioners!
Fools like Jiao Qing and Sun Sanniang all have poisonous brains and activated blood sausage, so Yi Ya will surely have a shocking number of them.
Of course, he thought again: Even if Yi Ya's body was left intact, it might not be possible to condense anything good into something because he had been polluted.
The second common rule for practitioners: If you change your path at random, your life and death will be miserable.
Generally speaking, once a monk has chosen a path, he must stick to it until the end, with almost no room for turning back. Even if it is a path to godhood within the same sect, it cannot be easily changed.
If the paths conflict with each other in spirituality and divinity, it will be like thunder and lightning that strikes the earth, and there will be no other outcome except madness and sudden death.
Is that why?
The reason why Li Yu was able to trap Yi Ya to death was also the reason why he could no longer dream of other ways.
Even though he still holds a secret medicine formula belonging to the righteous divine path: Wandering Soul.
"That's fine!"
"I am lucky to be able to keep my life, how can I dare to ask for more."
"Besides, being a Dan disciple is also a special sequence. Dan fire, taking medicine, medicinal diet... these three special skills, if used well, can definitely allow me to gain a foothold in Wanfu City."
"Besides, there may not be no chance for further advancement. Wasn't there a hint when I was peeping into the secrets earlier?"
"If I can enter places called [Strange Realm] and [Spirit Realm], I will definitely encounter everything related to the Spiritual Venerable Path due to the rules of spiritual aggregation."
"Before that, should I continue to be a casual cultivator? Or should I seek refuge with a decent force?"
With these thoughts in mind, Li Yu gradually fell asleep.
The series of unexpected events early the next morning finally made him realize what big event was about to happen in Wanfu City.
He hadn't really woken up yet when he heard the familiar sounds of gears turning and mechanical wings flapping.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the cursed "Bronze Rooster" fluttering out of the chicken coop and rushing towards him.
"Master master!"
"Get up and sell meat!"
What followed was the choking fireworks.
Suddenly, no one could sleep in the main house anymore.
Li Yu put on his clothes and rushed out the door, and couldn't help but blame his maid: "Hongdou, why didn't you stop this stupid chicken?"
Unexpectedly, Hongdou tilted her head, showing a puzzled look, and the mechanical voice replied:
“Why stop it?”
"The bronze crowing rooster is the third most popular best-selling product of the Tiangong Sect in Wanfu City, after the Spring Dream Instrument and various prosthetics. The buyer's favorable rating is as high as 98%."
"Hongdou thought the owner was raising it as a pet, so he took special care of it to extend its lifespan."
This reply immediately choked Li Yu and made him feel very upset.
Before he could open his mouth to explain to Hongdou, his gate was knocked again.
The visitor seemed to be attracted by the sound of the bronze rooster crowing. He laughed loudly through the gate:
"The sound of the bronze chicken being plagued, this is it, it is indeed a loyal customer of my Tiangong Sect."
"The first issue of Wanfu Daily has arrived. Please keep it."
The words fell.
The visitor showed no intention of coming in, and just threw a roll of newspapers into the yard over the wall.
Then, amid the sound of black, inferior steam gushing out, the people shouting "Next one" and "Where's the next one in this shitty place" gradually faded away.
Until Hongdou considerately stepped forward to take the newspaper, opened it, and handed it to Li Yu.
He suddenly remembered that he had indeed extorted a month's worth of Wanfu Daily from the salesman Meng Shenji.
He had experienced so many thrilling things in the past few days that he had forgotten about this matter.
After all, it was a gift that was forced upon me!
Li Yu didn't really care until he casually glanced at the first page of the newspaper.
In an instant, just the title made him completely sober.
“Front page headlines!”
"From today on, the gates of Wanfu City will be opened and the entire city will be under martial law."
Two completely conflicting words, yet somehow they are put together.
Almost immediately, Li Yu recalled the inexplicable restlessness in Wanfu City that he had felt when he went out to inquire last night.
If nothing unexpected happens, the answer is here.
