Chapter 142

Li Yu had already decided in his heart to participate in the selection for the 【God-Chosen Pioneering Team】.

But he did not immediately announce that he was a "Ten Thousand Changes God-Chosen", but directly said:

"Captain, it is indeed possible that I am a God-Chosen, but I cannot say what kind of God-Chosen it is."

"I am willing to participate in the selection for this special pioneering team. When does it start? How is the selection conducted?"

Zhan Kui had long guessed that Li Yu would make this choice and immediately gave an answer.

"As it happens, the selection starts tomorrow."

"Everyone in Wanfu City can participate. I heard that the selection method is to face the corpse of a True God directly. As long as one can prove that one can resist that level of divine pollution and ensure that one's reason is not emptied, one can join this pioneering team."

"I can directly sign you up, skipping those troublesome early verification matters."

"In any case, you are also a member of our 【Ninth Pioneering Team】. If you can really enter the God-Chosen team... it's not impossible that before long, you will have a position among the upper echelons of the City Lord's Mansion."

These few sentences of his, especially words like "upper echelons", seemed to also remind the other team members.

Luo Sheng, Sang Zhu, Zhu Wugou, Shu Fu, and Mi Wuniang, who were originally just shocked by Li Yu's identity as the Demon Star Command Lord and his fierce combat record.

Upon hearing Zhan Kui's words, they suddenly thought of something and all looked at Li Yu with burning eyes.

The wizard Luo Sheng, who had two heads, one big and one small, showed goodwill more directly and suggested:

"Everyone, why don't we borrow Sister Wuniang's apartment tonight for a night of discussing the Dao, and then go to work together tomorrow, how about that?"

"Agreed!"

"I was also curious about how Brother Li achieved those many combat records. If I could listen to it, that would be great."

……

Initially, Li Yu didn't understand why these few were like this, but after listening to a few sentences, he guessed the reason.

These few teammates were showing goodwill, placing bets, and giving favors.

They were deliberately showing Li Yu an attitude of "we will not betray you".

After all, his Demon Star identity was about to be exposed, and he was standing here alive.

If someone among them went to the 【Sacred Nest】 to tip them off, it was not impossible that the Sacred Nest would take advantage of the fact that Li Yu had not yet been selected for that God-Chosen pioneering team, directly send people to kill him at this high-end apartment on City Lord Street, and intercept and kill him here.

To avoid suspicion, the few simply didn't leave.

The one with the most courage was still Zhan Kui. This seemingly rough Blood God path practitioner was actually unexpectedly meticulous in his thinking.

After Li Yu stated his choice, he actually directly took out his communicator and then began to contact his superior to report Li Yu's situation.

Finally, he also made a request on Li Yu's behalf that sounded very unreasonable:

"Deacon!"

"The organization known as the Sacred Nest has always been full of lunatics. It's hard to guarantee that they won't disregard everything and hunt Brother Li down to City Lord Street after his identity is exposed."

"The safest way is to let Brother Li enter the City Lord's Mansion overnight to take refuge."

"Whether he can enter the 【God-Chosen Pioneering Team】 is indeed an uncertain matter, but even if he is just a member of our Ninth Pioneering Team, shouldn't the City Lord's Mansion step in to resolve it when he faces life threats from other organizations?"

"It doesn't have to be a very deep area, the pioneering team camp will do."

"Good, thank you, Deacon."

It was not hard to hear from the conversation.

Zhan Kui was trying to let Li Yu go to the interior of the City Lord's Mansion to take refuge.

And, he had received consent.

This change!

Even Li Yu himself had not expected it.

The safest place in Wanfu City, the City Lord's Mansion counted as one.

Li Yu believed that even the 【Sacred Nest】, which was full of lunatics, even if they knew Li Yu was inside the City Lord's Mansion, would not send people to hunt him down.

If it were just City Lord Street, that was not necessarily the case.

"The step of asking the Ninth Pioneering Team for help, I took it right."

"These few all have quite significant backgrounds and will not be tempted by small gains."

"Since they chose to work for the pioneering team instead of climbing up within their respective sects, they must have bet their future paths on the City Lord's Mansion."

"Helping me like this now... is it probably because they think I have a very high hope of becoming a 【future upper echelon of the City Lord's Mansion】?"

"It seems the status of a God-Chosen is much, much higher than I thought."

With this thought, Li Yu had completely figured it out.

However, before he could reveal a look of joy, and before the few could start acting.

Suddenly, they all sensed something and looked out the window together.

They saw one after another patrol airships and mechanical buildings inexplicably heading towards the South District. Looking at the direction, it was precisely where the Machine Workshop was located.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"It seems it has finally been exposed."

"The time is indeed about right."

Just as Li Yu said with a frown.

Mi Wuniang reacted extremely quickly and directly opened an incomparably exquisite and delicate mechanical creation in the apartment. Accompanied by "crackle-crackle" electric currents, intermittent sounds began to come from inside and gradually became clear.

This was actually a radio!

While Li Yu was amazed, he also heard broadcast sounds about him:

"Breaking news! Breaking news!"

"Friends and listeners of Wanfu City, this is the 【Voice of Wanfu】 channel, specially interrupting to broadcast a bounty message that can allow you fellow Daoists to achieve financial freedom and reach the heavens in your cultivation path."

"This bounty comes from the South District hegemon, the Sacred Nest."

"Bounty on the life of a practitioner named 'Li Yu'. The following is the information on this practitioner... Wow!"

The exclamation was obviously because the host had unexpectedly seen information that he couldn't believe.

After gasping for air, the voice sounded again:

"Listeners, a blockbuster bounty."

"Li Yu!"

"A person from the South District Machine Workshop, who superficially pretends to be a practitioner of the Food God path, but is secretly highly suspected to be a practitioner of the Thousand-Faced God path. At the same time, he is also a Demon Star Command Lord with the code name 【Demon Star】."

"This person has successively trapped and harmed all fellow Command Lords during the Demon Star conquest, obtaining huge benefits."

"This person is suspected of colluding with practitioners of the Orthodox God Sect and is highly suspected of being a traitor in Wanfu City, or simply a mole."

"The 【Blood Rust Disease】 that previously broke out in the Machine Workshop is suspected to have been deliberately spread by him."

"And the riots and conflicts that broke out some time ago, causing trouble between various districts, organizations, and even various races in the city, have now all been confirmed to be the work of this person. 'Mad, shameless to the extreme.'"

"All listeners, after hearing this news, you can start hunting this person down."

"Whether dead or alive, after succeeding, you can go to the 【Sacred Nest】 to claim a reward equivalent to a 'full set of Sequence Five'."

"Besides this, there may be another great benefit: that is, becoming a Demon Star Command Lord."

"There have always been rumors that killing a Demon Star Command Lord can increase one's own chance of being selected by the Demon Star Command in the next round."

"The upper echelons of the Sacred Nest have personally confirmed: this rumor is true."

"Now starting to broadcast this person's whereabouts... suspected to have left the South District Machine Workshop... once appeared on Monster Bus Route 408... last seen at City Lord Street..."

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"This person also has another identity as a member of the City Lord's Mansion Pioneering Team. That's right, he must be on City Lord Street right now... go kill him and claim the reward."

"Whether you listeners can ascend to the heavens in one step and reach Sequence Five, it all depends on tonight."

……

If the target of the bounty wasn't himself, Li Yu would have been unable to help but praise that this radio host was very passionate.

It was just a bounty!

He had read it out like a passionate competition. Most listeners were boiling with excitement after hearing it, wishing they could teleport in front of Li Yu and kill him to claim the reward.

"Tsk tsk!"

"Brother Li seems to have completely offended the Sacred Nest to death. To hunt you down, they spent such a huge sum; it's equivalent to a reward at the full Sequence Five level."

"If I didn't know that I likely wasn't Brother Li's opponent, I would have already made a move."

"Stop joking, let's go quickly."

"Among these bounty hunters in the city, there is really no lack of Sequence Six, or even Sequence Five existences. If we run slowly and get blocked outside the City Lord's Mansion, it will be over."

After Zhan Kui spoke, everyone stopped talking, and then the entire Ninth Pioneering Team went downstairs together.

Without hesitation, they headed towards the towering and majestic City Lord's Mansion in the center of the street.

But as soon as the group went down, they hadn't even run a few steps before they immediately felt a strong crisis.

In the night sky ahead, a large number of airships and buildings had already appeared.

Between the tall buildings with their own characteristics all around, there were heavy shadows, and gazes filled with malice and killing intent emerged in the darkness, scanning everywhere.

As long as they moved, they would be discovered immediately.

The expressions of Zhan Kui and the others all turned ugly.

They came too fast!

First, the existence of strange objects of the Tiangong Sect such as radios and communicators made information spread extremely fast. Once the bounty was issued, the whole city knew.

Second, the reward given by the Sacred Nest was truly too generous and terrifying.

As long as you kill a Sequence Seven Demon Star Command Lord, the Sacred Nest guarantees to help you advance to Sequence Five... who could refuse such a good thing?

Even a real Sequence Five would be tempted.

Of course, there was a third reason, which only Li Yu knew.

At this moment, he frowned, looking at the City Lord's Mansion not far away, and also at those bounty hunters blocking every part of City Lord Street.

"Only the 【Sacred Nest Network】, that freak that monitors the whole city, could lock onto my whereabouts so quickly."

"Zhan Kui's guess is correct, Shang Yang is highly likely to really be the 【Ancient Saint God-Chosen】."

"In that case, there is a very high probability that he will be fished back from that Spirit Realm by the Ancient Saint."

When these thoughts emerged in Li Yu's mind, he was also quickly thinking about how to break through the blockade and hunting, and enter the City Lord's Mansion to take refuge.

Although he felt that his strength had greatly improved again, he would not be arrogant enough to think that he could fight so many evil cultivators who were crazy for the bounty.

Even, he couldn't afford to delay for any more time.

Long nights bring many dreams!

If he delayed any longer, it was very likely that a Sequence Five level practitioner would come to kill him.

"Break through by force? No, there are too many evil cultivators. Even if I take the Sword Pill Elixir, I might be intercepted."

"Detonate a nuclear bomb? Even more no."

"Transform and sneak in... hmm?"

Suddenly, Li Yu seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lit up, and then he reached out to touch the center of his eyebrows.

There, a special mark began to emerge.

Vortex God Mark!

A blessing from the first-generation immortal woman "Yi Ge", who had been promoted to an evil god's offspring.

Thinking of this mark, Li Yu immediately recalled everything that happened in the Vortex Nation's Mystic Realm.

The unimaginable divine power displayed by Yi Ge, this first-generation immortal woman.

If it could be replicated!

Let alone fighting one against a hundred, fighting one against a thousand was possible.

As for passing through the siege before his eyes, that was even more of a given.

Thinking of this, Li Yu did not hesitate at all.

He used this special gift for the first time, initiated a prayer, and called out:

"Yi... Sister Yi Ge... can I borrow your power in the real world..."

"I want an immortal body... infinite division... charm the world..."

Very quickly, he received a response.

"Yes!"

That mysterious and charming ancient lady seemed to appear directly in Li Yu's mind.

And carrying some kind of mysterious and unknowable power, she slowly merged into Li Yu's body.

Transition chapters are too hard to write; it made my brain smoke.
