Chapter 116

"No, that's not right. Among these people in the city, I'm afraid many don't sincerely accept Wanfu City, and there are also many who are bent on running away."

"For example, the original body's foster parents, Sun Sanniang and Jiao Qing, aren't they just thinking about saving enough money to redeem themselves and go to the Gan Kingdom to find their biological son... But the two of them are definitely not undercover agents."

"Therefore, there must be some other key to this."

Li Yu had a change of thought and discovered the contradiction in Bei Nanshi's statement.

Just as he was about to think deeply, suddenly, in his mind.

The Demon Star group "Heavenly Pride Society" had movement again, a Demon Star Command Master whose true identity was unknown to others but known only to Li Yu.

At this moment, spoke in the group for the first time:

"Group Leader, fellow Command Master Daoists, I heard that tomorrow night at the Zi hour, the Main Mansion will use a high-sequence magic treasure to judge all citizens. Once one has the thought of leaving Wanfu City in one's heart, one will be judged as an undercover agent. Is this true?"

"Then what should someone like me, who already wants to leave, do? I'm not afraid to tell you all: once I'm tired of staying in Wanfu City, I'll immediately find a way to leave, but I'm no undercover agent."

These two lines of demonic text looked quite strange.

However, as soon as everyone saw the Command Master's name, they all understood.

Rebel Star!

The person who could be chosen by such a Demon Star Command must be unruly and have a rebellious bone in their neck.

For such a person, wanting to betray and leave once tired of it was perfectly normal.

If they were judged as an "undercover agent," that would indeed be a grievance.

The other Command Masters thought this way.

And Li Yu almost revealed a smile.

"Rebel Star is clearly 【Liu Tu】 from the Dangmo Sect, who just recently cut down the overlord of the Hehe Market with a sword and promoted to Sequence Six."

"Could he really be an undercover agent, just that he used some method to cover it up perfectly?"

"Asking this question now, he must be worried about being exposed."

"Exactly, I'm worried too."

Li Yu, who had already spent all his merit and had no chance to speak, silently looked forward to the answers given by the Group Leader and the other Command Masters.

Sure enough, he was not disappointed.

Before the others could speak, the Group Leader called "Play Star" gave the first reasonable explanation:

"Rebel Star, you can rest assured. Those who can be recognized by the Demon Star Command will not be judged as undercover agents by that treasure."

"That treasure is called the 【Wanfu Heavenly Sphere】, which can release billions of rays of Wanfu brilliance to lock onto every citizen. Its judgment rule is: Do you have malice toward Wanfu City itself? Do you want to control or subvert Wanfu City?"

"Passing these two questions counts as passing."

"What is rumored outside, such as wanting to escape, are all misunderstandings."

"One of the founding tenets of Wanfu City is freedom to come and go."

"Rebel Star, if you feel you might be misjudged, call upon the Demon Star Command at that time, and you can be exempted from judgment and pass directly."

After the Group Leader finished speaking, no one refuted, but all liked it.

Li Yu suddenly understood.

This Group Leader called "Play Star" was highly likely a person from the Main Mansion, and of very high status.

His words not only made Liu Tu feel at ease immediately, but Li Yu, who was silently watching, also breathed a sigh of relief.

After silently pondering in his heart for a while, he determined that the Group Leader had not lied.

"Sure enough, rumors are harmful."

"This method of judgment is more reasonable. Those who can satisfy the two conditions of having malice and wanting to control or subvert Wanfu City, even if they aren't undercover agents, are still great enemies."

"In this way, even if I don't use any means, it seems I can pass the judgment."

"Because I'm not from a proper undercover background at all."

"I was forced to take the job, have no malice toward Wanfu City, and even less desire to control or subvert it."

"Besides, the Demon Star Command being able to pass directly is also very reasonable. One must know that this is a supreme magic treasure refined by a host of evil gods to counter the 【Reincarnation Heavenly Net】 of the Orthodox God Sects. Its status must be far above that Wanfu Heavenly Sphere. Being chosen by it, even if one is an evil god's spokesperson, how could one still be an undercover agent?"

"Hmm?"

"My Demon Star Command was snatched. Since Liu Tu can be chosen, it shows that even if he is an undercover agent, his state is probably very strange, or does he also have some strange treasure on him?"

Thinking of this, Li Yu did not go any deeper.

The star group also dissipated.

Early the next morning, in every part of the entire South District, the wind blowing through seemed to have something extra in it.

Carrying a hint of the smell of flesh and blood and a certain stimulating aura to the Qi in the body, this wind was pervasive.

Even if one were in a secret room, one would be permeated and blown.

If it weren't for the relevant notices issued by various markets, I'm afraid everyone would have thought that the "Blood Rust Disease" had made a comeback.

Li Yu also felt it, but he wasn't panicked at all and let the wind blow.

He had long known from Bei Nanshi that the effect of this "wind" was that upon touching the Qi of the five great Orthodox God Sects, it would evolve into a storm and surround the source of the Qi.

As a practitioner of the Spirit Venerable path, Li Yu, being neither orthodox nor evil, was naturally not afraid of this wind.

Because the whole city was under martial law, even though Li Yu was prepared to refine Sequence Six level elixirs, he had to sit idly at home.

Fortunately, the newspaper delivery boys were not grounded, and the Sansheng Gang indeed covered the sky with one hand in the Tianji Market.

Not long after!

Li Yu successively received the new issue of the "Wanfu Daily" and a detailed physical examination report of the Three Saints personally delivered by Bei Nanshi.

He quickly finished reading the former first; the charging progress wasn't much.

As the Truth Bubbles increased, while the power grew rapidly, the difficulty of charging also increased. It was impossible for the Wanfu Daily to have big scoops in every issue; ordinary transcendent knowledge was already very difficult to make the charging progress soar.

Fortunately, the latter was extremely powerful.

Under Hongdou's analysis and completion, the physical examination report directly became "Partial Forging Secret Method and Defects of the Sacred Skull Heavenly Soldier."

That is to say, this already counted as a high-sequence rare secret method. Although it was incomplete, in the hands of a practitioner with means, one could still forge a very weakened version of the Sacred Skull Heavenly Soldier based on it.

When Li Yu finished reading carefully!

At the corner of his eye, brilliance suddenly erupted; the tenth Truth Bubble was fully charged, and the eleventh was lit up in succession, starting a new round of charging.

However, this tenth bubble still couldn't unlock the high-sequence secret medicine formula of the Spirit Venerable path, which was still stored in the fifth bubble and double-encrypted by the Demon Star Command and the Reincarnation Heavenly Net.

Li Yu was already used to it and wasn't disappointed.

He waited silently until late at night again!

This time, he was a bit nervous.

"I'll first use the art of 【Demonic Speech】 to bewitch myself, and at the same time use the Demon Star Command."

"Once something goes wrong, I'll directly use the Truth Bubble... Even the Demon Star Command had its status directly suppressed by my Truth Soul Body; that so-called 【Wanfu Heavenly Sphere】 can't possibly be stronger than the Demon Star Command, right?"

Almost exactly when Li Yu had the thought.

Midnight had arrived.

=9+Shu_ba

In the Main Mansion Street area, without any warning, a strange heavenly sphere rose slowly from within the strict and mysterious Main Mansion.

Initially, it was pitch black like ink, just like a full black moon.

But when it rose to its highest point, millions of rays of pure white brilliance broke through the black curtain, shining down with extreme precision, locking onto every citizen in the city, including Li Yu.

In that instant!

Li Yu first muttered to himself: "I have no malice toward Wanfu City; the local customs are simple and honest, and talents emerge in large numbers; I am very happy."

At the same time, he immediately prepared to call upon the Demon Star and release the Truth Soul Body.

The pure white divine light shone for less than three breaths.

Until the divine light retracted, it remained pure white, not turning blood-red as Bei Nanshi had said.

Li Yu could clearly feel the process; when the divine light descended, it immediately followed with a terrifying judgment. As soon as it took effect, Li Yu seemed to have passed directly.

He didn't know if his self-bewitchment had taken effect!

Or if he simply didn't fit the definition of a normal undercover agent for the three kingdoms and six gods.

Without doing anything, he could still pass the judgment.

"In short, I'm safe!"

At the same time as Li Yu uttered this sentence.

He also faintly heard sounds of fighting suddenly coming from some places in the city, whether far or near.

Obviously, although he hadn't been exposed, there were proper undercover agents exposed in other areas, and the number was not small at all.

Li Yu listened for a while and couldn't help but complain:

"So many exposed? There are movements in at least a dozen places."

"Counting that big pile in the 【Pleasure Gathering】, how many undercover agents did the three kingdoms and six sects send to Wanfu City?"

"Working hard for so many years, yet with no results?"

"It seems this city of evil gods is indeed very difficult to subvert."

Not long after he finished muttering, the fighting everywhere ceased one after another; most of the undercover agents were likely in dire straits.

Above Wanfu City, amidst the roaring of the familiar steam whistle, the notice lifting martial law resounded:

"All citizens!"

"The undercover agents and spies sent by the three kingdoms and six sects have all been eradicated; martial law is hereby lifted."

"My Wanfu City shall exist for ten thousand generations."

Obviously, that previous move by the Star-Worshiping Doctor to slap the face had annoyed the Main Mansion, and catching the undercover agents to issue the notice was a rare moment of hot-bloodedness.

And in the city, there were also many people who sincerely accepted the philosophy of Wanfu City, both ordinary people and practitioners.

Hearing this, they shouted along one after another, forming a wave.

Unfortunately, there were also extremely many devout believers of various evil gods and lunatics.

Initially, it was all "Wanfu City shall exist for ten thousand generations," but later it started to turn into other declarations.

Powerful Heavenly Prides came out laughing wildly to preach:

"Great Black Maitreya, Lord of the Future, the only true god, chant the name of my Buddha and enjoy joy and bliss."

"Long live the Merciful Father, all people, come quickly to follow me in offering to the Lord of the Plague God, the Merciful Father."

"The Hanging King does not die, granting you liberation. Do you want to get rid of the suffering of the mundane world? Enter my Hanging King Sect, without pity or sorrow, eternal as this."

"The Forbidden God is the supreme true god, the mouth of all evil, eating up all living things."

"Hahaha... weaklings, come quickly to the North District, chant 'The Lord of War, the Blood God, is supreme,' and you can become one of us, one family."

Amidst this chaotic noise, Li Yu had also begun to act.

His current goal was only those two types of elixirs.

Because of the terrible failure rate, Li Yu didn't dare to delay time at all, fearing that when the Demon Star conquest came, he wouldn't have a single elixir in his hand.

The Pityless Elixir was the most troublesome. As for the spiritual materials needed, besides offering a reward to Shi Dazhu to find them,

he also planned to go to the Taiping and Yongning markets tomorrow to search.

However, the materials for the Sword Pellet Elixir!

He had already gathered one portion, coming from the large amount of materials packed from the Sansheng Gang treasury last time, and a large pile of so-called medicinal cuisine spiritual materials he had directly demanded from Bei Nanshi after reading the Three Saints' physical examination report during the day to test the "eating taste" suitable for the mechanical Three Saints.

That's right, he was now picking on the Sansheng Gang.
