"I thought you were already dead. I didn't expect your life to be so tough. You were hit like that and actually had nothing happen, and you even killed your way out of the darkness alone."

Li Yi looked at Yang Wei, revealing an expression of disbelief.

One must know that that black evil corpse was not ordinary, and even he was not its opponent. If it were not for Xuan Yuezi blessing him with a streak of Dragon-Tiger Qi, even he might have been finished by that strike. This Yang Wei did not even have defensive magic treasures to protect his body, yet he withstood that strike and was actually safe and sound.

"Life and death are not very important to me. As long as I want, I can be undying and indestructible. You, this naturally evil Earthling, cannot envy it." Yang Wei said: "How did the matter go? Did you send the people safely?"

"Can't you just go and see for yourself? I have already done what I promised you. Next, it's your turn to fulfill your promise." Li Yi said.

"Your father's cross-dimensional coordinate, right?"

Suddenly, Yang Wei took out a black box from his storage magic artifact. What was recorded inside was exactly a cross-dimensional coordinate. He threw this cross-dimensional coordinate over casually: "I have already prepared what you want. This is your father's cross-dimensional coordinate."

Li Yi took the black box, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "How did you get it?"

His father's cross-dimensional leap was a soul leap, and it was a random leap, almost never to return. Wanting to determine the coordinate was a very difficult thing. He had not found a way to track it until now. If it were a physical leap, it would be easy to handle.

One only needed to trace the source of the bloodline, and many magic techniques could do it.

"When you have a sufficiently powerful background, this matter is a small thing." Yang Wei said: "But you must understand one thing: your father has disappeared for so many years after the leap. If he survived, then I'm afraid he would have married and had children long ago. At that time, what is the meaning of you finding him again?"

Li Yi put away the coordinate box and then said: "Some things must have a result. This is my family matter, so you don't need to worry about it. Since the deal is completed, then I should go too. It was not easy for me to make a trip to this world; my background was almost gone."

"Don't want to save the world with me?" Yang Wei said.

Li Yi said: "I'd better find a way to save my family first. If I can't even save my family, then save the world? I'm not that great. Moreover, the water in this world is very deep. The evil creatures hidden in the darkness have very terrifying strength. If I'm not careful, I might really die here. I'm not like you; if I die, I have a chance to resurrect. If I die, I'm really dead."

After speaking, he walked toward the darkness outside without looking back.

Although Sun Fei was afraid of that endless darkness, he still gathered his courage and followed.

Yang Wei did not continue to persuade but just watched Li Yi leave.

As soon as he left the building and entered the darkness, Li Yi felt the Evil God's curse on the back of his hand strengthen again. A stinging pain came from the back of his hand, and the brand on it suddenly became clear. At the same time, evil entities in the darkness immediately sensed this curse and approached him rapidly.

"Go."

Li Yi did not hesitate, immediately rolled up Sun Fei with *Gang Qi*, and rushed toward a building in the distance.

Although it was very dangerous outside, he had already left the dark area. There were buildings nearby to protect him, and the number of monsters had decreased a lot. Moreover, those powerful evil entities rarely appeared in this normal city area, unless there were special circumstances.

While Li Yi was running, he did not forget to raise his head and look at the sky.

In the dark sky, those dense Evil God eyes from before had disappeared, but in a certain place in the distance, there were still countless black hairs and scarlet fishhooks hanging down, as if they were investigating this world, looking for powerful people who could threaten the order of this world.

"If I want to find Xuan Yuezi, I should follow the direction where the fishhooks hang down to find her. But I cannot expose myself now; otherwise, with my strength, I simply cannot escape the capture of the fishhooks. At that time, I would have to spend ten years of lifespan to use supernatural weapons. Moreover, with my strength, finding a Daoist expert at the Three-Flower Realm is not very realistic. Xuan Yuezi performs the Cloud-Stepping Technique, traveling a thousand miles in an instant. At this speed, it is impossible to catch up."

He thought for a while and decided to give up looking for Xuan Yuezi and find a way to leave this dark world and return to Tianzhong City first.

It was just that he thought so.

But Li Yi had now lost his direction.

He himself did not know where he was now. There was no signal here, nor were there stars, and he could not identify the direction. In this dark world, the only means of transportation was that train.

But the train had already gone far away, and he did not know when there would be a chance to meet it again.

"If it really doesn't work, use the cross-dimensional device to open the cross-dimensional gate and return to Earth." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart; he still had a relatively extreme method.

He still had a Seven-Colored Stone in his hand.

However, using a supernatural object as an energy source to open the cross-dimensional gate was too high a price; it would make the supernatural object silent for at least three months. Only three complete supernatural objects combined could open the cross-dimensional gate without cost. Moreover, the Seven-Colored Stone in his hand was very special, and he did not know if it counted as a complete supernatural object.

"Take it one step at a time."

Li Yi did not struggle too much with this point. He felt that with his strength, it was impossible that he could not even find the road. This world must have a method to locate.

However, just when he thought so, a strange cry came from mid-air. That familiar Dead Soul Monster was holding a sickle and rushing over here at this moment. Clearly, it had discovered Li Yi and wanted to hunt him. And it was not just the Dead Soul Monster; other monsters in the darkness also rushed toward him. Clearly, the Evil God's curse had played a role, attracting all the evil entities and monsters nearby.

He did not pay too much attention. These were not powerful monsters. If they caught up with him, he would just kill them.

Immediately, he operated *Gang Qi* to speed up. Li Yi only decided to stop and rest for a while after flying for more than two hundred kilometers in one breath. This was to avoid being exposed to the darkness for a long time and attracting more powerful evil entities.

But in just this short time, a large patch of monsters was already following behind him.

Some monsters were shaken off, but most were still chasing relentlessly.

"What a nuisance. If this Evil God's curse is not driven away, it is truly difficult to move an inch in this world." Li Yi looked at the building in front of him.

This building was considered relatively bright in the dark world, and the passage leading to the building did not have a gate, defense line, or the like. At the end of the passage, a kerosene lamp was lit, which allowed passing adventurers to see at a glance that this was a building operating normally and very safe. Li Yi was not in a hurry to enter the building but signaled to Sun Fei: "You stand inside the passage; I will clear out a batch of evil entities here before entering."

"Alright." Sun Fei did not hesitate and immediately retreated slowly toward the back.

Li Yi took out the Underworld Artifact used by the Yin Spirit again. Accompanied by the silver *Gang Qi* intertwining and condensing, a silver giant axe appeared in his hand again.

He held the giant axe and engaged the monsters that chased after him.

Accompanied by the venting of *Gang Qi* and the eruption of divine power, he fought a quick battle alone, killing almost all the monsters that chased and killed him within five minutes, and only then retreated back into the passage, using the Holy Corpse aura of this building to isolate the Evil God's curse, winning some time for himself to rest.

However, just when Li Yi had just entered, a batch of adventurers was rushing crazily toward the outside of the building.

At first, Li Yi thought it was aimed at himself, but later he discovered that these adventurers were actually going to the corpses of the monsters outside the building to pick up war trophies.

After the monsters in the darkness died, they would always leave behind many valuable things.

For example, the Dead Soul Monster would leave behind a Dead Soul Sickle and a money bag; the Undying Sword King also left behind a Golden Heart, blood-red armor, and a broadsword; even the previous Hell Flame Demon dropped a Hellfire Whip.

"This powerful adventurer, according to the agreement, it should be no problem for our building to take away thirty percent of this war trophy, right?" An elderly man with a walking stick smiled with squinting eyes at this moment. He stood at the end of the passage, as if waiting for Li Yi's arrival.

!.

"No problem." Li Yi looked at it and said: "I need to rest in this building for a few hours. I will leave after a few hours."

Clearly, when he made a move just now, he had already attracted the attention of the adventurers in this building. It was just that the outside was dangerous, and they did not dare to come out to support. Now that the battle had subsided, they wanted to share a piece of the pie.

But Li Yi did not look down on these things, so he did not object.

"Don't say rest for a few hours; even resting for a few months is no problem." The old man subsequently saw the Evil God's curse on Li Yi's hand again and said: "Were you driven out by people from other buildings after being cursed?"

"No, I am looking for the correct road to return to a building I was in before." Li Yi said.

"You are lost? This is not easy to handle. In this dark world, the most afraid thing about moving is getting lost. Don't you have a magic map? That thing only needs twenty gold coins, but the magic map needs to be explored by yourself. It will record all the places you have experienced." The old man said.

Li Yi remembered something at this moment and immediately took out a sheepskin map from the Five Elements Bracelet: "Is this the thing you are talking about?"

"Yes, this is the magic map." The old man said.

Li Yi lowered his head and examined the magic map.

At this moment, the map showed that he had entered a building, and there were many small person marks nearby. That should be the adventurers of this building. But in the surroundings in front of him, the old man was different from others. Others showed gray small people, but this old man showed a golden small person, and the pattern of the small person was larger than others.

Immediately, he looked at the old man in front of him with some surprise.

The magic map marked him so differently, which was enough to show that the old man in front of him was extraordinary.

"This is just a local map; you need to switch to the world map." The old man said.

Li Yi asked: "How to switch to the world map?"

The old man extended his finger and touched the bottom right corner of the map, where there was an obscure magic mark.

The next moment, the magic map changed.

The pattern inside the building disappeared, replaced by the appearance outside the building. Buildings hidden in the black mist appeared on the map, and outside the map, it was all pitch black.

"You can also manipulate the magic map to move the position." The old man pointed again to an icon in the top right corner. That was a cross arrow pattern. Through touching the position of the arrow, one could move the direction of the map.

Li Yi tried to operate it, and it was really useful.

It was just that the magic marks on this sheepskin map were very blurry. He had really ignored it after buying it without studying it carefully.

"Thank you, old man, for the guidance." Li Yi hurriedly took the map and moved it, searching.

Most of the map was darkness, and no matter how he moved, he could not find the lit position.

This showed that this world was very large, and it was much larger than imagined.

"Eh."

Suddenly.

The old man beside him was surprised. He did not know if he had misread it, but on this adventurer's map, the kill marks of the Hell Flame Demon and the Undying Sword King were actually displayed, which showed that the person in front of him had hunted two legendary-level monsters in the darkness.

As for other ordinary monsters, they were even more numerous.
