Chapter 92: Peering in the Dark (League Leader Bonus: Name Not Needed)

Li Yi was walking alone in the old city district at this moment.

That turbid air, the cramped alleys, the streets that never saw the sun for days, and the damp and fishy smell that always permeated the tip of his nose—everything was so familiar, but everything felt like a lifetime ago to Li Yi, becoming somewhat strange, as if these were different from what he remembered.

The environment hadn't changed; the old city district was still that old city district.

The only thing that changed was Li Yi himself.

He was no longer that poor kid struggling to survive; now he was a practitioner who had opened his Spirit Medium. Besides that, he had joined the Investigation Bureau, possessed a good status and background, his wealth reached 50 million, and he even owned a building.

Even if Li Yi didn't rely on the defective Mystic Object, the Dao coins, he could live very well now, and he could also walk further on this path of cultivation alone.

Because he had forcibly pulled his cultivation value to 420% with the Bone Contemplation Cultivation Technique, becoming a cultivation genius.

The residential area was silent.

Li Yi had lived in the old city district for many years and knew some of the living habits and styles of the old city district very well.

The elevator was out of service, so he could only climb the stairs.

With this thought, Li Yi went downstairs, left the building, and rushed to his old home before the sky was completely dark.

He had some doubts in his heart, and at the same time, he was slightly uneasy.

At dusk.

"So, for me, the rest of the matter is very simple, and that is to continue to cultivate hard and improve my strength." Li Yi thought secretly in his heart.

"Is there something nearby?" This terrible conjecture couldn't help but pop up in Li Yi's mind.

Then he immediately raised his head and looked around, trying to search for some suspicious things.

Li Yi came to the downstairs of this building alone.

Soon.

But now, Li Yi was evolving toward the next realm, and his five senses were strengthened, which also made his ability to discover unusual things stronger.

However, Li Yi, who was cultivating, didn't know about all this.

Because he smelled a faint smell of corpse rot on the street.

Li Yi didn't speak, but entered the interior of the building alone.

But there was no harvest; Li Yi didn't find any clues.

Seeing the familiar environment, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought of the group of people who had come to find him before and wanted to forcibly buy his fist technique.

People came and went around, everyone was in a hurry, unwilling to stay outside for a long time, especially now that it was about to get dark. Most residents were in a hurry to go home because people living in the old city district could often hear that someone in a certain residential area had disappeared at night, or someone had seen something weird at night.

Quickly entered the residential building.

After all, people dying in the old city district was a common occurrence; he knew this before.

Although the room was bumpy and messy from practicing fist techniques, it was at least the home he had lived in for many years.

"I am already a Spirit Medium practitioner, I didn't expect that I would be made so nervous."

If Li Yi was also in the Spirit Inspiration realm, he could knock down one of those three little punks with one punch, and he wouldn't be afraid of the so-called threat at all.

He climbed to the top floor, the 30th floor, very easily.

He had now opened his Spirit Medium, and his eyes were glowing, able to see many things that ordinary people couldn't see.

In the past, he absolutely couldn't smell this kind of smell and would only be automatically ignored.

This was one of the assets the Investigation Bureau gave Li Yi as a reward. Although he hadn't officially received it, he felt it was necessary to come and see it in advance, at least to know the specific location and understand the general situation, so it would be easier to move in later.

After confirming that there was no problem, he returned to his room.

This situation made Li Yi stop his steps involuntarily.

But through those huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Li Yi could almost overlook the entire old city district, and if he looked to the west, he could also see the night view of the Dajiang River passing through Tianchang City.

After drinking a cup of golden nutrient solution, Li Yi didn't think about what happened just now. He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, formed a precious seal, performed the Bone Contemplation Cultivation Technique, and entered the cultivation state.

Everything seemed to have returned to its original state.

At this moment, 8:00 PM.

The residential area where Li Yi lived was relatively safe. Except for the group of Ning Wu he killed a while ago, there had been no news of people disappearing strangely or dying weirdly for several years.

Li Yi was very satisfied with this place; he liked to stay on the top floor.

Generally speaking, even the old city district couldn't be filled with the smell of corpse rot everywhere. If the death rate in the old city district was really that high, the order here would have collapsed long ago, how could it still be maintained.

But at the entrance of the residential area, a weird figure appeared suddenly. This figure avoided the illumination of the streetlights and hid in the darkness, stiff and motionless. And with the appearance of this figure, the smell of corpse rot around seemed to be a bit more intense.

Immediately, he quickened his pace.

The ground around was overgrown with weeds, and the nearby greening grew wantonly. Clearly, no one had taken care of this place for a long time, and the building was abandoned, full of dust. He didn't even know if the elevator in the building could operate normally, and many places in the building were in a rough state. If he really wanted to move in, he would have to spend a lot of money to decorate and prepare.

Until 10:00 PM.

"This time I took the initiative to expose my cultivation value. From a long-term consideration, it is worth it. I believe that with my 420% cultivation value, the Investigation Bureau will definitely focus on me. As long as there is no accident, my status and status in the Investigation Bureau will become higher and higher in the future, and such a cultivation value can also cover up the problem of my cultivation speed being too fast, completely dispelling some people's doubts about the Mystic Object on me."

Heping Financial Building.

Li Yi touched his forehead, and cold sweat actually appeared at some point. He couldn't help but laugh at himself, thinking whether he had killed too many people recently and seen too many unclean things, making his spirit overly nervous?

It seems that he should really have a good rest for a few days and relax, and not think about going on missions to earn money every day.

I don't know if it's because the body is evolving to the next stage, Li Yi feels that his five senses are sharper than before. His ears can hear sounds that are further away and more subtle, and he can smell some smells that he couldn't smell at ordinary times. However, speaking of smells, he frowned slightly at this moment.

"It's really not right, that thing is still nearby, it won't be so unlucky to be in the same direction as me."

Li Yi was still thinking about today's events in his heart at this moment: "But from a short-term perspective, I do have to take certain risks. After all, such a cultivation value is hard to guarantee that it won't attract jealousy and hatred. Maybe some practitioners who have grudges with the Investigation Bureau might come to trouble me."

Although somewhat extravagant, Li Yi now has the capital to be willful.

Walked into this floor, empty, the ground was still cement.

Because the air here is fresh, spacious and bright, warm and dry, no longer the darkness, dampness, and stench of the old city district.

His sharp eyes scanned the pedestrians around, trying to find the source of that unusual smell.

"Since there is no discovery, then hurry home." A certain intuition made Li Yi realize that he shouldn't stay outside today, and should go back to accompany his parents.

He didn't have any other thoughts, just wanted to use this place as his own cultivation place, and didn't intend to do anything with this building.

Li Yi successfully arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

Li Yi looked back a few times, and after confirming that there was no problem, he opened the door and returned to the familiar house.

For ordinary people, darkness is a taboo, and only practitioners have the confidence to be active at night.

But after he walked a distance, he found that this faint smell of corpse rot always existed and did not disappear because he moved his position.

After leaving the training base early, although he returned to the old city district, he didn't go home immediately, but took a detour to another place.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"However, those are just some small problems. My cultivation speed is very fast. After I open Spirit Inspiration and become a Spirit Inspiration practitioner, I can stand firm in Tianchang City, and some troubles will naturally not dare to come to the door."

Li Yi went to the bedroom as usual to greet his parents who were sleeping, and then checked the consumption of nutrient solution and the operation of the medical cabin.

After Li Yi quickened his pace, that faint smell of corpse rot still didn't disappear and was still smelled by him.

Li Yi didn't take it to heart at the beginning.

This kind of becoming stronger didn't rely on external objects, but on himself, so Li Yi didn't have to worry about losing all this one day, so his heart was very solid, without the previous sense of urgency of unease.

"Quiet in the noise, beautiful scenery, this place is very suitable for cultivation, and I will almost never be disturbed during cultivation. Besides, safety is also guaranteed. If I encounter any danger, it will be difficult for them to find me if I hide in this building... If I move in alone, I don't need to prepare too much, just get this floor out, and then settle my parents."

That stiff figure standing in the darkness began to move. It walked straight toward the residential area. When passing by the streetlight at the entrance, it didn't reveal its full appearance, only a pale arm covered with corpse spots flashed past in the light. ===== CHAPTER 93 =====
