Chapter 267: Returning to the Four Seas

~13 min read 2,518 words

Only rested for one day.

On the second morning, Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, and Li Yi, three Spirit Perception Realm experts, set off from the Peace Financial Building to the danger zone.

Lin Yue hadn't done nothing in these three months. She often entered and exited the danger zone, hunting fierce beasts and extraordinary creatures, and while tempering herself, she also accumulated a considerable amount of cultivation funds for Li Yi. After often entering and exiting the danger zone, she and Zhao Lingfu also explored a relatively safe new route.

Following the new route, the three of them didn't encounter any danger along the way, but they had to stop the car when they were close to Ghost Street, because there was no road ahead, and there were broken walls and ruins everywhere. The rest could only be walked by themselves.

Several people continued to move forward for a while until a street similar to ancient times appeared in their line of sight before they stopped.

"Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, just send me here. Ahead is Ghost Street. If you go further, it's easy to be targeted by the Yin soldiers inside. I brought back something from Ghost Street last time that can cover the aura of living people, so these ghosts won't discover me," Li Yi said while taking the human skin mask out of his backpack and putting it on directly.

"Alright, be careful on the way. If this trip doesn't go smoothly, retreat immediately, and we will think of other ways to improve the cultivation value," Lin Yue said.

Zhao Lingfu on the side said: "Yin soldiers are indeed troublesome. There is no way to deal with that thing. If you are not careful, it is easy to hurt your soul. Although the strength of Evolvers is strong, it cannot be exerted in front of Yin soldiers. I will go ask people later to see if there is any good way to deal with ghosts. After finding a way, we will join forces to kill our way into Ghost Street next time."

"That makes sense. However, it's not that easy to do this. Yin soldiers and Yin gods are still very powerful existences to us. Unless we break through another realm, perhaps there is a chance," Li Yi said.

He indeed had this idea.

Only by killing his way through Ghost Street could he completely open up the road to the Four Seas and Bazhou. Otherwise, it was indeed inconvenient to slip over like a thief every time.

"Alright, we'll talk about anything after I come back. I'm going to set off. Lin Yue, Zhao Lingfu, you should turn around and go back immediately. This is a danger zone. Although you are not afraid of extraordinary creatures when you join forces, there is more than just extraordinary creatures here. Didn't the Investigation Bureau detect the existence of suspected mythological creatures last time?"

After Li Yi finished speaking, he immediately took action and at the same time let the two leave the danger zone immediately.

Lin Yue and Zhao Lingfu watched Li Yi enter Ghost Street and naturally didn't dare to stay long, immediately turning around and returning.

Their trip was mainly to send Li Yi, ensuring Li Yi was safe all the way, and they didn't intend to wander in the danger zone.

Soon.

Li Yi, wearing the human skin mask, entered Ghost Street again.

After three months, Ghost Street was still the same as before.

No, there were some differences.

The vengeful ghosts on the street seemed to have increased again, and at the same time, some people of all kinds were mixed in, which seemed a bit lively compared to before.

Li Yi originally intended to use the mud horse to cross the boundary directly, but thinking of something, he wandered around and walked toward an alley.

There were very few vengeful ghosts in the alley, and Yin soldiers rarely appeared.

And on both sides of the alley, many people were setting up stalls, selling all kinds of goods, as if they were at a fair.

Li Yi had been here more than once, and he seemed to be quite familiar with the road. He soon found a familiar stall. There was no one near that stall. The stall owner was a withered old man who was dying. That old man sat on the ground, hanging his head, and couldn't feel any aura, as if he were dead, very peaceful.

"When I first entered Ghost Street, this old man was like this. I thought he wouldn't live for a month, but I didn't expect him to survive until now without dying." Li Yi stood in front of the stall without changing his expression. He stared at the old man for a while, feeling strange in his heart.

Perhaps it was because this old man's business was relatively good, and he earned life span to continue his life.

Afterward, Li Yi looked at the things on this old man's stall. This time, there were quite a few things on the stall. There were mud horses, a coffin ganoderma, a toad that was red all over and seemed to be emitting red light, as well as burial objects, and several beads he couldn't understand, and even a purple bamboo that looked like emerald.

Although Li Yi didn't know the goods, he could see that the things the old man sold were relatively rare, not the mass-produced goods seen everywhere. Of course, the price was also expensive.

"Looking at the mud horse?" The old man's hoarse voice sounded abruptly at this moment.

"Yes, looking at the mud horse." Li Yi squatted down at this moment: "Is it still the previous price?"

"Not bad, still ten years of life span. Do you want to buy it?" The old man raised his head slightly, his turbid eyes staring at Li Yi, clearly recognizing this old customer.

"I also want the coffin ganoderma. How much is this thing?" Li Yi asked.

Having coffin ganoderma meant being able to refine Soul-Returning Pills.

"It's cheaper this time, it only needs fifty years of life span," the old man said.

Li Yi said: "Okay, I'll buy it. Sign it."

"Young man, I see your forehead is black, a sign of impending death. You might not even live longer than me, and you still want to buy things? Come, let me see how much life span you have left." The old man took out a life-span plate and pointed to it: "You know the rules."

"Really long-winded."

Li Yi didn't intend to pay life span. He was already used to defaulting on debts. After all, ghost gods couldn't collect life span from his head.

But say what he might, he still extended his finger and tested it on the life-span plate.

Soon.

The pointer on the life-span plate jumped and pointed to a number: 80.

"80? Young man, your life span is not much. When I measured you last time, you still had 150? Why, were you collected life span recently?" the old man said.

Li Yi frowned at this moment, feeling somewhat surprised. He said: "The Yin soldiers who came to collect life span all died, and there is nothing to collect my life span... And my cultivation has broken through recently. Logically, my life span should increase, so how could it decrease so much?"

He was now a Spirit Perception Realm Evolver. If there was no illness or disaster, living for two hundred years was no problem. Life span would only increase, not decrease.

"If what you said is true, then there is only one possibility. Without your knowledge, your life span has been used. Think about whether there are any evil things on you, or strange and weird things?" The old man kindly reminded him at this moment.

Being told this, Li Yi suddenly thought of something.

The supernatural item brought back from the No. 36 world, the cracked short club?

If there was any evil thing on him, it was only that.

And Liu Qingqing also said that using supernatural items had a price. Could it be that the price of using the cracked short club in his hand was consuming life span...

"I probably know the reason. I won't buy the things for now. I want to buy this life-span plate. Do you sell it?" Li Yi said immediately.

The old man was quite generous and said: "The life-span plate is not worth money. Seeing that you are young and have good potential, I will give this thing to you."

He said, reaching out his withered palm, grabbing the life-span plate, and throwing it over.

"Thank you." Li Yi took this object similar to a compass and didn't be polite, immediately putting it away: "I will patronize your business again after I deal with the problems on my body. However, you must not die. You must keep the things for me. I don't want to come next time and find that your stall has changed to someone else."

"Don't worry, I won't die even if you die," the old man said in a hoarse voice.

"Farewell." Li Yi cupped his fists and immediately left the alley without looking back.

Afterward, he found a corner with no one, took a bottle of blood out of his backpack, and poured it onto a mud horse.

Li Yi had several of these things in his hand, and he was not short of them for the time being. He just thought it was better to be prepared, and he could get a little if he could. Anyway, he didn't need to spend money. After all, who would dislike having more free things? He didn't expect that this trip would discover that his life span had a problem.

The blood in the bottle was not Li Yi's own, but from a servant at his mansion in Sanyang City in the Four Seas and Bazhou.

Soon.

Accompanied by the sweeping of the Yin wind and the neighing of the fierce horse, the mud horse turned into a Yin horse and appeared in front of his eyes.

Li Yi immediately mounted the horse. Accompanied by the Yin horse raising its hooves, it suddenly accelerated and rushed out.

The Yin horse was guided by the blood and wanted to go to the Li mansion in Sanyang City in the Four Seas and Bazhou, to the side of that servant's relatives.

The Yin horse was very fast.

It flew along the way, accompanied by the scenery beside it constantly retreating. Soon, it rushed out of Ghost Street. As the light in front of him brightened, a clear air rushed toward his face. Li Yi immediately understood that he had returned to the Four Seas and Bazhou once again.

However, the Yin horse still didn't stop its steps and was still flying. It crossed rivers, climbed mountains, and its speed didn't decrease at all, rushing toward one direction.

Not long after.

On a plain in the distance, the outline of a city appeared in Li Yi's eyes.

"Sanyang City is almost here."

After seeing that city, Li Yi's mood improved a lot. Although he hadn't stayed in this world for a long time, he still had a good impression of this world because his master, junior sister, and some acquaintances were here, and he didn't need to worry about heaven-tilting events in this world.

The neighing of the Yin horse echoed.

Accompanied by the whistling of the Yin wind, this Yin horse crossed the city gate and rushed directly into the city.

Without waiting for people to react, the Yin horse jumped onto the roof again, as if flying in mid-air, and went straight to the Li mansion in Sanyang City.

"Yin horse stepping on the street? Someone came from Ghost Street?"

Suddenly, a young man wearing brocade clothes and an extraordinary demeanor on the street raised his head and stared at that Yin wind. Afterward, he smiled, and the Qi in his feet erupted one after another. In an instant, six sounds rang out, and then the whole person flew out like an arrow, actually catching up with that Yin wind, and with a look of joy, he threw a punch at Li Yi on the Yin horse.

"Bang!" Fist energy exploded, wantonly venting.

Meeting and throwing a punch?

Good.

Very good.

This was very in line with the way people in the Four Seas and Bazhou greeted each other. They were all vulgar martial artists. If they didn't know whether they were acquaintances or not, they would throw a punch first. If one punch couldn't suppress the other, then they would talk about other things. If one punch killed the person, then death was death.

"A Meridian-Cultivation martial artist? And he opened nine major acupoints? Since when did Sanyang City, such a small place, have such a young expert?" 【267-8

Li Yi, as an evolver, reacted surprisingly fast. Before the other party even threw a punch, his spiritual sense had already detected the other party's movement.

"It's not that easy to greet me." He didn't have the slightest hesitation and also threw a punch.

This was the signature punch force of Master Zhao Ge's martial arts school.

Shaking the Mountains and Rivers!

It was also an explosion of punch energy, but Li Yi's punch energy was even more terrifying. Just by raising his hand, the surrounding wind howled, sweeping across the entire scene. Even from five or six meters away, it could send people flying. However, he controlled his punch force very well—gathered but not scattered, passing through the body.

The two exchanged a punch.

The next moment.

That young master in silk robes was instantly sent flying backward, smashing through the roof of a household and falling inside.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out. His entire arm hung down limply, and his fingers were already deformed.

"Young Master." Two loyal old servants immediately rushed over in shock.

"I'm fine, I won't die." The young master in silk robes struggled to stand up, then said with some excitement: "This person is not from the Four Seas and Bazhou; he is from Ghost Street, and he is wearing the five-clawed black dragon robe... One punch delivered, the momentum is majestic, and it has a taste of making an emperor bleed. These characteristics, there's no mistake. He is Li Yi, that guy who dared to make gods and ghosts retreat, he's back."

"Go, go to the City Lord's Mansion, notify Fan Zhizhou, the opportunity to cross dimensions has arrived. Uncle Fu, you go and contact the people of the other noble families, tell them the person we've been waiting for is back."

He was not furious at this moment; instead, he was very excited. He didn't care about his own injuries at all and headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion with an old servant without looking back.

The other old servant named Uncle Fu also immediately rushed to other places. He exploded with power, his energy venting; he was actually also a Meridian Cultivation martial artist.
