Chapter 141

Upon suddenly hearing what Li Yu said, Mi Wuniang felt completely bewildered.

Li Yu also knew that his identity as the "Demon Star Command Lord" would inevitably be exposed; if it weren't for the fact that he had offended the Sacred Nest to the point of no return, it actually wouldn't have been considered that serious.

Within Wanfu City, there were already quite a few people whose identities as Demon Star Command Lords were public.

For instance, that fellow Shang Yang; everyone knew he was the Wisdom Star Command Lord.

Or Cui Minmin, this Food Yang Star.

There was also the well-known 【Charm Star】, the priestess of the Lust Sect, Su Xing.

Facts proved that as long as one's strength and backing were solid enough, making one's Command Lord identity public would only be the icing on the cake, with no negative impact.

Now that death was imminent, Li Yu did not hesitate and directly opened his mouth to reveal the relevant information.

The next moment!

When the two women, Mi Wuniang and Yun Niang, learned of Li Yu's true identity, his actions, and his current situation.

They, who had originally been looking at him with seductive eyes and thinking of having a great battle with Li Yu, simultaneously let out gasps of surprise.

Especially the former, whose holy and cold pretty face showed a look of collapse for the first time.

The gaze she directed at Li Yu subconsciously carried a bit of strangeness and fear.

It was no wonder!

Who could have imagined it?

The usually handsome but honest young spirit chef was secretly a Demon Star Command Lord capable of repeatedly trapping and harming one heaven-defying powerhouse after another.

Even an existence of "Shang Yang's" level could be defeated; one could imagine how terrifying Li Yu's true combat power was.

At this moment, Mi Wuniang was even certain: this boy's strength must be above the Captain's. If not for this turn of events, who knew how long he would have continued to play the pig to eat the tiger; he was truly detestable.

Accompanying this thought, the gaze she directed at Li Yu suddenly turned fervent, and a desire several times more intense than before surged forth.

This change was also very normal.

Practitioners of the Evil God path had some shortcuts that could allow their cultivation bases to skyrocket.

Intercourse with a powerhouse was precisely the most effective one.

If one could conquer a powerhouse on the bed, it would be like swallowing a potent supplement; improving by leaps and bounds in a single day was no joke.

However, thinking was one thing, but Mi Wuniang also knew that she could not delay Li Yu's grand plan for survival because of this sort of matter.

She immediately used the high-end communicator in the apartment to contact all members of the Ninth Pioneering Team, including Zhan Kui.

……

Not long after, Zhan Kui, Luo Sheng, Sang Zhu, Zhu Wugou, and Shu Fu also rushed over one after another.

Everyone gathered in Mi Wuniang's apartment, all with faces full of disbelief and horror, looking at Li Yu with an incomparably complex gaze.

"Brother Li... Fellow Daoist Li, you have kept us in the dark for so long."

"Hmph, when we usually discussed hating ourselves for not being Demon Star Command Lords, were you hiding and laughing secretly?"

"In that case, you are not of the 【Food God Path】, you are a practitioner of the Thousand-Faced God path?"

"Your methods are truly extraordinary; Shang Yang had already achieved mechanical ascension, yet he still fell into your hands."

"Everyone, these things can be discussed later. Now, I have completely offended the 【Sacred Nest】. According to intelligence, the Sacred Nest will make my identity public and issue a kill order... If the City Lord's Mansion cannot protect me, I will have no choice but to seek out other organizations and forces."

When Li Yu spoke, his gaze looked directly at Zhan Kui.

As the captain of the Ninth Pioneering Team, he understood in a second what Li Yu wanted to say.

If the City Lord's Mansion wouldn't do, he would naturally have to leave.

An establishment identity was just that; it could not be compared to one's life.

Yet, Zhan Kui was also unable to guarantee at this moment that if he stayed in the Ninth Pioneering Team, the Sacred Nest would be unable to do anything to him, and so on.

As the largest and most mysterious force in Wanfu City, the City Lord's Mansion was indeed not afraid of the Sacred Nest.

But that did not mean the City Lord's Mansion could fight the Sacred Nest for Li Yu's sake.

Li Yu's level and importance were far from enough.

He was merely a spirit chef of a mere pioneering team!

At most, after Li Yu was slaughtered by the 【Sacred Nest】, the City Lord's Mansion would come out to protest and condemn him a bit, and the Sacred Nest would compensate a little, and that would be the end of it.

It was very cruel, but this was reality.

Seeing Zhan Kui's expression, Li Yu also knew the result. His brows furrowed, and just as he was considering which dangerous backup plan to adopt.

Suddenly, Zhan Kui seemed to have thought of something, slapped his head fiercely, and revealed a look of surprise, but soon it turned into solemnity, and he said to Li Yu:

"If it were only the identity of a spirit chef of the Ninth Pioneering Team, the City Lord's Mansion indeed would not spend great effort to protect you."

"But if your establishment identity were to change to another one, that would be different."

"For example, the one the City Lord's Mansion is currently preparing... a member of the God-Chosen Pioneering Team."

"Hmm?"

At this, not only Li Yu, but the other team members also cast suspicious gazes.

Zhan Kui also knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't beat around the bush and directly added:

"I only learned of this matter yesterday. Just a few days ago, those few top-ranked pioneering teams, by chance, joined forces to break through the core barrier of the 【Horror Valley】, truly touching the depths of this forbidden area, and then these few pioneering teams met with misfortune."

"Except for a few high-sequence powerhouses who were lucky enough to run fast, the other team members who followed to pioneer were almost completely wiped out, including many team members at the Sequence Six and even Sequence Five levels."

"Privately, there are even rumors: a Sequence Four powerhouse also died on the spot inside."

Speaking of this, Zhan Kui, this fearless Blood God practitioner, also had a trace of slight fear appear on his face.

Li Li Xuanji, he continued: "After investigation and verification, it was confirmed that there is more than one 【True God Corpse】 in that forbidden area."

"Although they do not attack intruders, they can still kill all intruders. That Sequence Four powerhouse was precisely because he faced the corpse of a certain True God, his reason was completely emptied, and all his divine abilities and methods lost their meaning, directly going mad and dying."

"Therefore, in order to continue opening up the forbidden area and reduce casualties."

"The City Lord's Mansion decided to form a 【God-Chosen Pioneering Team】."

"The so-called God-Chosen!"

"Refers to practitioners who are favored and chosen by each True God. Such people are usually cared for by the gods they follow and have long been marked, not allowing other gods to touch them."

"Therefore, besides being able to advance by leaps and bounds in the cultivation of their own path, they can also almost isolate most of the pollution from other gods."

"For every path of God, there are millions of climbers and practitioners, but God-Chosen ones are one in ten thousand."

"As long as these 【God-Chosen】 are allowed to take over the pioneering of the most core ruins... not only can casualties be reduced, but the pioneering progress will also skyrocket again, and sooner or later, the three vast forbidden areas can all be brought under the control of Wanfu City."

"To promote this plan, the City Lord's Mansion will give this brand-new pioneering team treatment and permissions far exceeding all other pioneering teams."

=9+Book_Bar

"A God-Chosen person must be a person blessed by Wanfu."

"Brother Li, if you are a God-Chosen... join this team... the upper echelons of the City Lord's Mansion will definitely go to the 【Sacred Nest】 in person to force the other party to give up hunting you... If the Sacred Nest does not agree, then that means war."

"Believe me, although the Sacred Nest has an extremely terrifying foundation, if they really start fighting, the City Lord's Mansion will let the Sacred Nest know how powerful they are."

When Zhan Kui spat these out, the other team members all revealed looks of disappointment.

Obviously, none of them were God-Chosen.

Zhan Kui himself wasn't either. At this moment, he looked at Li Yu with burning eyes and said:

"Brother Li, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a God-Chosen person of the Thousand-Faced God, or perhaps it should be called the 【Lord of Ten Thousand Changes】, that evil god?"

"Ordinary Thousand-Faced God practitioners, although they can change in thousands of ways, absolutely cannot create your combat record of these past few days."

"That Shang Yang has already achieved mechanical ascension and prayed for the help of the Ancient Saint... True God blessings can only be countered, or even defeated, by the blessing and support of another True God."

"It is rumored that among the gods, the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes has the strictest standards for choosing the God-Chosen."

"Only those with outstanding talent, extremely vicious temperament, who are good at calculations and conspiracies, and like to kick the victim into the abyss at the moment of their greatest joy... such a shameless person has a chance to gain the favor of the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes and become His God-Chosen."

"Shang Yang, being able to achieve mechanical ascension and being so valued by the Sacred Nest, must be an 【Ancient Saint God-Chosen】."

"And you, are a 【Ten Thousand Changes God-Chosen】."

Every word Zhan Kui said added a point to his confidence.

When he revealed all his guesses, he was already incomparably certain of his conclusion.

And the other team members, including Luo Sheng, who had always been cunning, nodded one after another upon hearing this, expressing agreement.

As for Li Yu?

At this moment, he only felt speechless.

Although he did indeed want to guide everyone to nail his path sequence to the "Thousand-Faced God".

But he hadn't even made a move yet; spreading rumors, playing the god, and so on, he hadn't used a single method.

Everyone had directly determined it.

Yet, after Li Yu heard it, he actually felt that what Zhan Kui said was very reasonable.

In his mind, he couldn't help but ponder:

"The Thousand-Faced God, which is the Lord of Ten Thousand Changes, the Foolish God, the Spirit Venerable... these few True Gods, how come they have quite a few similarities in terms of divinity and authority."

"Could it be that practitioners of these few paths often pretend to be each other, deliberately making the believers of other gods confused, making it more convenient for themselves to cause trouble and muddy the waters."

"For example, me right now."

After this thought emerged, Li Yu chose neither to agree nor to deny.

He just revealed a look of simple honesty, smiled, and then quickly weighed the choices in his heart.

Without a doubt!

A path to survival had unexpectedly appeared before his eyes.

As long as he joined the 【God-Chosen Pioneering Team】, the City Lord's Mansion would protect Li Yu to the death.

If the Sacred Nest insisted on hunting him down, it might even lead to war.

With the True God "Ancient Saint" as backing, the Sacred Nest was indeed incomparably powerful.

But one had to know that the entire Wanfu City was built by the City Lord's Mansion; whether in terms of surface strength or foundation, the City Lord's Mansion had the upper hand.

But thinking about it from the other side, becoming a member of the God-Chosen Pioneering Team also meant stepping into another layer of danger.

Facing a True God directly!

These four words, any practitioner knew the terror within.

However, Li Yu was a bit different.

He silently looked at his eye membrane, where the Truth Bubble continued to flicker and charge, and an indescribable sense of security emerged.

"If it were facing a living True God directly... then I would run as far as I could."

"But if it's just a corpse, this last trace of reason that I have locked forever... should be enough to save my life."

With this thought, Li Yu immediately made a decision.
