Chapter 401

However, if he were to run back to digest the harvest of the inheritance, what about Lu Li? Where would he go next?

"Me?" Hearing Yan Yuexin's question, Lu Li rubbed the young girl's head. "I plan to walk around the Southern Territory. After all, because I had to head to the Holy See before, I haven't really taken a good look at the Southern Territory."

Besides that, since there were no major matters for the time being and he was already in the Southern Territory, there was one more place he needed to visit.

The Spirit Realm plane—a dimensional plane that had not yet been discovered, which he had learned about from Su Xueyi's parents back then.

However, a long time had passed since then, so whether the Spirit Realm plane had been discovered by others remained an unknown.

Furthermore, there was another point: when Lin Xue and her husband discovered the Spirit Realm plane, it was already on the verge of collapse.

Although the process of a dimensional plane collapsing is extremely long, no one knew whether the Spirit Realm plane had finally collapsed after so much time.

Even if it hadn't completely collapsed, it was definitely fraught with danger, and Lu Li did not intend to have Yan Yuexin accompany him on this trip.

The most important thing for her right now was to first completely digest and absorb the harvest of the Twin Inheritance.

"Is that so?" To be honest, Yan Yuexin was somewhat moved, but in the end, she forcibly suppressed it. The most important thing for her now was to digest the Twin Inheritance first.

However, the young girl also took a card out from her bosom. "This is our Yan family's identity authentication. With this card, you can move freely within the three capitals of the Southern Territory."

"That's quite convenient." Taking the identity card handed over by Yan Yuexin, which still radiated a faint warmth, Lu Li did not refuse her.

After all, he was not a local of the Southern Territory. With this identity card given to him by Yan Yuexin, his subsequent actions would indeed be much more convenient.

……

"The Southern Territory's Capital of Artifacts—come to think of it, this is my first time here." After parting ways with Yan Yuexin and greeting Lan Xiatong, Lu Li left the Wandering Palace and arrived at the Capital of Artifacts, one of the three capitals of the Southern Territory.

This was also the capital among the three that was closest to the Western Territory, and the surroundings were filled with customs different from those of the Eastern Territory.

"It's also time to fulfill my promise." Thinking this, Lu Li raised his hand in a beckoning gesture, and the figure of Tiamat appeared beside him.

"Let's go," Lu Li said, gently embracing Tiamat. "This is what I promised you before."

Hearing Lu Li's words, a faint smile appeared on Tiamat's face.

755. Lawless—The Lawless Magic Thief Group

Relying on the identity authentication card given by Yan Yuexin, Lu Li's movements within the Southern Territory over these past few days could be described as very smooth.

Of course, he did not do anything too outrageous. He was purely fulfilling his previous promise, moving along while accompanying the young women, and finally arrived at the Twin Territory City.

Lu Li was not too unfamiliar with Twin Territory City; after all, he had been in and out of it with Su Xueyi when he headed to the Northern Territory back then.

It was just that the city they went to back then was the Twin Territory City between the Eastern and Northern Territories, while this Twin Territory City was built between the Southern and Western Territories. Although there wasn't much difference in general, it still had some different styles.

"Buddy, if you want to leave Twin Territory City, I suggest you form a team to leave together, or sign an agreement with some merchant associations to leave as guards for a caravan." At the city gate leading to the Western Territory in Twin Territory City, the Magic Card Master in charge of guarding saw that Lu Li was alone and offered a suggestion.

"Why?" Hearing the other party's words, Lu Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He could tell that these Magic Card Masters in charge of guarding were indeed purely giving him a suggestion, not intentionally making things difficult for him.

Could it be that some changes had occurred outside Twin Territory City? Apart from this possibility, Lu Li really couldn't think of why the other party would make such a suggestion.

"During this period, a Magic Card Master criminal group has drifted over from other major territories—the Lawless Magic Thief Group. Quite a few people leaving the city have been targeted by this 'Lawless'."

The Magic Card Master in charge of guarding seemed to be a chatterbox; hearing Lu Li ask, he also started introducing it with great enthusiasm.

"Except for a very small number of powerful Magic Card Masters, those targeted by the Lawless Magic Thief Group basically never return."

"During this period, although the City Lord has ordered encirclement and suppression many times, unfortunately, the other party obviously has a lot of experience and has run away at the very last moment every time."

"Buddy, although I don't know how strong you are, the Lawless Magic Thief Group likes targeting lone Magic Card Masters like you the most."

"So, I suggest that if you really want to leave the city, you should form a team or sign a protection agreement with those large merchant associations; the safety will be much higher that way."

"So there's such a thing," hearing the guard's explanation, Lu Li revealed an expression of realization.

Just like the three people, Bing Beichen and his group, who drifted from other major territories to the Northern Territory back then, Lu Li had encountered such things before.

However, the final result for Bing Beichen and his group was just being wiped out by Lu Li, which had no impact on him at all.

As for the Lawless Magic Thief Group that had drifted outside Twin Territory City this time, Lu Li couldn't say whether they were stronger or if Bing Beichen and his group were stronger.

After all, Bing Beichen and his group were all Emperor Realm Magic Card Masters, which was already the limit that ordinary conventional Magic Card Masters could reach.

But even if there were Sovereign Realm Magic Card Masters in that Lawless Magic Thief Group drifting outside Twin Territory City, Lu Li didn't have too many worries.

Not to mention anything else, although the Night Queen had headed to the Central Court with Yan Qian, before leaving, she did not take Sister Daji back, but instead let Sister Daji continue to stay by his side.

With such a twelve-star level Magic Card Spirit by his side, unless that Lawless Magic Thief Group also had a Magic Card Spirit capable of matching Sister Daji.

Otherwise, even if they turned the world upside down, they wouldn't be able to get past Sister Daji.

If they were to seek him out, Lu Li wouldn't mind solving them. It could be seen from the guard's words that this Lawless Magic Thief Group was not a kind lot.

Therefore, if he really had to wipe them out, Lu Li truly had no psychological pressure or burden.

"However, since this Lawless Magic Thief Group can escape from encirclement every time, it seems there are likely informants of theirs within Twin Territory City."

As a city built at the junction of two major territories, the level of Twin Territory City was second only to the twelve capitals of the ancient kingdom, and the power of the Magic Card Masters here was definitely top-tier.

Even if the Lawless Magic Thief Group were strong, under normal circumstances, they would have no way to contend with Twin Territory City.

But they were able to escape from the final encirclement every time; if one said there were no informants of theirs in Twin Territory City, Lu Li wouldn't believe it even if he died.

Perhaps the informants the Lawless Magic Thief Group had placed within Twin Territory City were not low in status or position either; otherwise, it would be impossible to get first-hand information every time.

"Forget it, let that City Lord of Twin Territory City have a headache over this. As long as they don't provoke me, it's fine." Although Lu Li didn't mind wiping them out, that was only if the Lawless Magic Thief Group didn't have eyes and provoked him.

For the current Lu Li, the most important thing was to prioritize handling the matters of the Spirit Realm plane; he didn't have time to slowly hunt down that Lawless Magic Thief Group.

Moreover, apart from the information the guard just mentioned, he had no other news about the Lawless Magic Thief Group on hand.

……

"Many thanks for the reminder, but I have no plans to form a team or become a caravan guard for the time being." In the end, Lu Li politely declined the other party's good intentions.

If he were to form a team or become a caravan guard, it would instead affect his subsequent actions.

However, the other party was only acting out of good intentions, so Lu Li wouldn't have any negative thoughts.

"Sigh, suit yourself then. I was just giving you a reminder as per the routine." Seeing that Lu Li still insisted on leaving the city alone, the guard did not continue to dissuade him.

It is hard to persuade a ghost who is courting death with kind words. Lu Li was not the first person he had tried to persuade to stay; before Lu Li, he had already persuaded quite a few people leaving the city.

Some listened to his advice, but more felt that 'I am the best in the world,' and if that Lawless Magic Thief Group dared to come, they would definitely make them unable to return.

In fact, many Magic Card Masters even deliberately wandered outside the city just to encounter the Lawless Magic Thief Group and set their sights on them.

After all, look, if they could solve the Lawless Magic Thief Group that even the City Lord couldn't handle, that would definitely be a huge show of prestige.

It's a pity that these Magic Card Masters didn't think about it: if even the City Lord couldn't solve the Lawless Magic Thief Group, wouldn't they just be meat buns thrown at a dog if they went?

And facts proved that once these hot-headed fools left the city, they basically had no chance of coming back.

In the eyes of this guard, although Lu Li didn't look like someone who was deliberately seeking out the Lawless Magic Thief Group to throw his life away, he definitely thought he had the ability to contend with them.

Little did he know, the result would likely be no better.

756. This is not giving me peace of mind!

"Boss, news came from Old Chen that the City Lord's Mansion plans to launch another encirclement and suppression against us." In a hidden place outside Twin Territory City, Shuang Zijin reported to a bald Magic Card Master.

"Heh, it seems they really don't learn their lesson." Hearing Shuang Zijin's report, a trace of disdain appeared on the face of the bald Magic Card Master, Chen Yonghao.

Twin Territory City had encircled and suppressed their Lawless Magic Thief Group so many times in succession, and the final result was always them running away. They really didn't learn their lesson.

If he were sitting in the position of the City Lord of Twin Territory City, he would definitely consider whether something had gone wrong by his side.

Otherwise, why could the other party run away every time?

"It's a pity that the City Lord of Twin Territory City hasn't had enough brains since the past, only focusing on cultivation." It could be seen from Chen Yonghao's words that he and that City Lord of Twin Territory City seemed to know each other.

It was just that this leader of the Lawless Magic Thief Group seemed to repeatedly look down on that City Lord of Twin Territory City.

"Boss, if you could obtain the resources of that City Lord of Twin Territory City, you would definitely be able to promote to the Sovereign Realm now." Shuang Zijin flattered from the side.

However, although his words sounded like flattery, in reality, there wasn't much of a problem with what he said.

In a situation without many resources, Chen Yonghao was able to pull together this Lawless Magic Thief Group and still live so prosperously while being wanted, which was enough to explain the other party's strength.

Moreover, although Chen Yonghao was not a Sovereign Realm Magic Card Master, he had reached the nine-star Emperor Realm, not far from promoting to the Sovereign Realm.

Therefore, if Chen Yonghao could have the resource support like the City Lord of Twin Territory City, he would indeed be very likely to promote to the Sovereign Realm now.

"Alright, stop with this nonsense." Although it felt great to be flattered, Chen Yonghao did not get carried away. "Have the brothers prepare to relocate."

Although he looked down on the City Lord of Twin Territory City, he still understood that with the strength of the Lawless Magic Thief Group, it was not enough to fight Twin Territory City head-on.

Of course, he hadn't thought about fighting Twin Territory City head-on either.

If they really fought Twin Territory City, not only would the Lawless Magic Thief Group have no great chance of winning, but it might even further attract the encirclement and suppression of the two major territories behind Twin Territory City.

By then, they wouldn't be able to be as carefree and comfortable as they were now.

Therefore, Chen Yonghao's initial goal was not to attack Twin Territory City, but to disgust the other party.

Of course, plundering the resources of those Magic Card Masters leaving Twin Territory City was also one of his goals.

After all, for Magic Card Masters, making new Magic Cards requires resources, and the resources needed to maintain the Lawless Magic Thief Group were naturally even more.

Otherwise, these were all desperate people; if there were no resources and no profit to be made, why would he be able to suppress the others? ===== CHAPTER 402 =====
