Chapter 46

Lin Yue's heart was pounding at this moment, still shaken.

She had never encountered such a bizarre thing in her life.

An unknown terror had appeared by her side, making her unable to stop trembling even now, feeling fear in her heart.

"Lin Jie, what on earth happened? My front door isn't even closed yet?" The doubt in Li Yi's heart grew larger and larger.

But judging from Lin Yue's expression, it seemed that something very bad had happened.

"Li, Li Yi, listen to me." Lin Yue grabbed Li Yi's shoulders at this moment, then stared into his eyes and said: "I want to tell you a terrifying fact. In your home..."

She had originally wanted to speak out that bizarre truth.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she suddenly stopped.

Because Lin Yue suddenly perceived at this moment that there was a pair of bizarre and terrifying eyes spying on her nearby. This feeling was just like a prey that had fallen into a cage encountering the most top-tier predator.

She would die.

She would definitely die.

As long as she revealed this truth, Lin Yue had no doubt that she would be killed in an instant.

Her gaze was terrified, looking all around.

People were coming and going nearby, and everything was so normal; it seemed that she was the only abnormal thing here.

No matter how Lin Yue probed the surroundings, she was never able to lock onto that bizarre gaze spying from nearby.

But what Lin Yue could be certain of was that that invisible person was nearby and had been staring at her.

"Miss Lin, what's wrong with my home?" Li Yi asked persistently.

Lin Yue retreated at this moment; she didn't dare to continue speaking, nor did she dare to point out this terrifying fact, because she couldn't afford this price. But what she could be certain of was that that person absolutely could not be Li Yi's mother; that was an unknown terror that cultivators could not understand.

And that terrifying person had been wandering in Li Yi's residence, living together with him.

If it weren't for this visit, Lin Yue would never have discovered this astonishing secret in her life.

"No, nothing. Your home is fine. I was just a bit abnormal earlier; I'm fine now." Lin Yue changed her words, not choosing to reveal the truth.

"That's good." Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I thought something happened to you; you scared me."

Lin Yue remained silent at this moment, but her spirit was highly concentrated, still perceiving everything around her.

At this time, she discovered that the bizarre gaze had disappeared, and the terrifying sense of crisis had also been lifted; it seemed that everything just now was her own illusion.

"As long as I don't tell Li Yi the truth, will I not be targeted by that thing?" She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and had roughly such a guess in her heart.

"Li Yi doesn't seem to have discovered the abnormality himself... But he has only just opened up a Spirit Medium and hasn't opened up inspiration; even if he enters meditation to cultivate, he can't perceive the existence of that bizarre human figure."

"But this balance cannot be maintained for long. As Li Yi continues to cultivate, he will eventually open up inspiration sooner or later. By then, he will discover this terrifying secret himself, and at that time, Li Yi will be in danger."

"No, I cannot watch Li Yi die like this. I must think of a way for him, even if I can't deal with that bizarre person, at least I must let Li Yi escape the fate of being entangled."

Thinking of this.

Lin Yue immediately said seriously: "Li Yi, I suddenly remembered something very important. I have to go back."

"Alright, then Lin Jie, you go ahead and get busy." Li Yi nodded.

Lin Yue looked at Li Yi's completely innocent appearance, her gaze very complex. She gritted her teeth and said seriously: "Li Yi, you must take good care of yourself at home, stay vigilant. If you encounter any danger, run immediately; don't hesitate, don't look back."

"Of course, I'm very afraid of death." Li Yi said with a smile.

"That's good. Then I'm leaving. I'll go find Yang Yi Long to communicate about the guidance technique during this time, don't worry." After Lin Yue finished speaking, she didn't linger too much; she immediately called a taxi and then left.

Li Yi watched Lin Yue leave, but felt a wave of doubt in his heart.

Just now, Lin Yue clearly had something important to tell him, but stopped when the words were on the tip of her tongue.

What on earth was the important thing?

It seemed to be related to him...

Can't guess, can't guess.

Forget it, don't think about it. Anyway, the person is gone, and thinking so much is useless.

Li Yi thought to himself, and he didn't linger too much either. He turned and left, returning home the same way. He had quite a few valuable things at home now; if a thief got in, that would be terrible.

However, after being startled by Lin Yue, he was in no mood to enter meditation to cultivate.

Li Yi simply started practicing boxing at home.

"I only learned my boxing not long ago, and I haven't thoroughly mastered it, nor have I experienced too many life-and-death battles, so it's not perfect yet. I must continue to study it and form a unique fighting style of my own as soon as possible, so that I will have the power to protect myself when I have conflicts with those cultivators in the future."

"So time is very tight; I cannot waste it."

With this thought, Li Yi closed his door and practiced boxing at home.

He seemed to have a talent for boxing. Since touching upon force, unleashing boxing force was an easy matter. It was just that he still needed to refine himself, stimulate all the potential within this body, and at the same time try more techniques for exerting force.

"Bang! Bang!"

Muffled cracking sounds echoed in the living room.

Li Yi was immersed in practicing boxing, not caring about anything else. When he was tired, he would sit in meditation; when he was hungry, he would drink golden nutrient solution, supplementing nutrition while also recuperating his body.

But one thing happened just as he feared.

Three days later.

Stability District, District 8, No. 781.

This was a three-story detached villa.

At this moment, in the villa's courtyard, a tall woman with a long ponytail was closing her eyes, sitting on the grass, perceiving the existence of every inch of land and every blade of grass around her with every breath. This feeling of being able to perceive everything around her just by closing her eyes was too wonderful.

And not only that, she could also perceive her own heartbeat, perceive the flow of her own blood...

"Is this inspiration?" Ning Wu slowly opened her eyes at this moment. The light in her eyes became more and more refined, and the whole person seemed to have evolved to a higher level.

"Ning Wu, something big has happened."

Suddenly, right at this moment, a low voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

Lao Ya's expression was extremely solemn. He walked over with large strides, not caring at all whether he had disturbed Ning Wu's cultivation.

"Lao Ya, what matter makes you so composed? This doesn't look like your usual style." Ning Wu frowned slightly.

Lao Ya walked over and lowered his voice: "Ning Wu, do you still remember that kid named Li Yi?"

Li Yi?

Ning Wu had now become a cultivator of the Inspiration Realm, her body had evolved again, and her memory had also become better. As soon as Lao Ya reminded her, she immediately remembered: "Is it that matter in the Waste City District a month ago? I remember that person named Li Yi. He was lucky and escaped alive from the Stability District. Why? What matter could he have that is worth your attention like this?"

"Just an hour ago, I heard from a friend that a person named Li Yi entered the Danger Zone a few days ago under the leadership of that Yang Yi Long. You also know that Yang Yi Long's trip had heavy losses, and even his companion named Qin Qing almost died. But that Li Yi not only returned alive from the Danger Zone, but also successfully hunted a fierce beast, a Biao. And Yang Yi Long offered 20 million to acquire it. Most importantly, that Li Yi is already a cultivator of the Spirit Medium Realm." Lao Ya told the matter quickly in one breath.

Ning Wu asked suspiciously: "Do you think that Li Yi who works under Yang Yi Long and the Li Yi we found a month ago are the same person?"

"It's not that I think, but that I have confirmed they are the same person." Lao Ya said: "Ning Wu, haven't you realized it? A month—only a month has passed, and that Li Yi has changed from an ordinary person into a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator. No, he didn't even take a month to open up a Spirit Medium. This kind of cultivation speed can no longer be described as genius."

Ning Wu's expression changed abruptly at this moment. She stood up suddenly and immediately realized the severity of the problem: "Mystic Object, it's a Mystic Object. Only a Mystic Object can allow a person to transform in such a short time. That Li Yi obtained a Mystic Object back then in the Waste City District."

"Good, good fellow, he hid it deep enough. He gave me a pile of tattered clothes, while he privately kept the truly valuable things. We have been investigating in the wrong direction all along, thinking the treasure would be on that Wang Hu, but ended up missing the person who shouldn't have been missed the most."

"This Li Yi is really cunning, using the Mystic Object to cultivate secretly. Fortunately, we discovered it early. If it were a few months later, this guy's realm might be higher than ours, and by then, the Mystic Object would really not be retrievable."

Lao Ya immediately asked: "Ning Wu, how should we handle this matter now?"

Ning Wu gritted her teeth and said: "That goes without saying. Kill that Li Yi and snatch his Mystic Object back. And there is no time to lose; act today. We must not drag it out any longer."

"If we are going to make a move, it must be foolproof. Otherwise, if we alert the enemy, it will be easy for him to run away." Lao Ya whispered: "And now that Li Yi is already a Spirit Medium Realm cultivator and hunted a Biao alone in the Danger Zone, his strength can no longer be underestimated."

"I know."

Ning Wu let herself calm down. She said: "This matter cannot be publicized, nor can it be made a big fuss. Otherwise, once the news leaks, the Mystic Object won't fall into our hands. By then, all the cultivators in Tianchang City will participate to get a share. And there is only one chance to act. Otherwise, if that Li Yi is driven to desperation and hands over the Mystic Object directly, we won't have any way at all."

"Lao Ya, you go and investigate Li Yi's information now, see where he lives. I will organize the personnel configuration, and we will finish him off tonight."

"Alright, no problem." Lao Ya nodded, and then a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

That was a genuine Mystic Object.

"By the way, do you know a person named Wang Kui?" Ning Wu suddenly remembered something: "I heard he has a sniper rifle snatched from an investigator in his hand. That gun was specially developed to deal with cultivators and extraordinary creatures."

"You want to ask him to make a move? He is a wanted criminal; the Investigation Bureau has been trying to catch him." Lao Ya was startled.

"I'm also buying insurance." Ning Wu said seriously: "If possible, I don't want to hear that gunshot, but compared to failure, I would rather pay this price."

Lao Ya thought for a moment, and finally nodded solemnly.
