Why Did You Have to Push Me?!

"These things are enough for now!"

"If I find anything else I need later, I can replenish them then."

"The deliveries I ordered online can wait until I come back next time."

Shi Yi looked over the items before him and checked them once more.

There were a few things he had not been able to buy in the shops, but he did not need them urgently, so he ordered them online and specifically noted that they should be left at the courier station rather than delivered to his door.

According to the delivery progress, they would take a day or two to arrive.

"From now on, my new residence in Anyuan Town will be my new temporary abode!"

Shi Yi had already used his third Anchor Point on the new residence.

He had not withdrawn the second Anchor Point he had set in the Central Great World before, because it could serve as an escape route outside Anyuan Town and let him deal with matters that were inconvenient to handle within the town.

His shuttle ability did not merely allow travel between two worlds; it also allowed travel within the same world.

All he needed was an Anchor Point as his destination.

Therefore, if he encountered danger and did not want to return to Blue Star, the Anchor Point outside Anyuan Town would naturally be a fine choice.

"I wonder whether breaking through to the Blood Essence Realm will give me another Anchor Point."

Shi Yi still looked forward to that.

Every additional Anchor Point gave him another option.

"Shuttle, activate."

Carrying bags of all sizes, Shi Yi shuttled once again.

Anyuan Town.

Inside a room.

"Didn't Yu Daqiang say that when Shi Yi moved, he would leave valuables, his identity papers, travel permit, and such at home? Why isn't there anything useful in this room?"

"Did he hide them in a secret compartment, or does he keep them on him at all times?"

Dressed in coarse linen, Xu Er searched through Shi Yi's room. Aside from a few old clothes, he found nothing useful.

He did not even catch a glimpse of the silver, identity papers, travel permit, and other items Yu Daqiang had mentioned.

He had come this time under Hall Master Zhu Liang's orders, to sound out Shi Yi's residence.

After confirming that no one was inside, he had entered directly to investigate.

After turning the place upside down, he had not found a single useful thing.

Xu Er felt somewhat helpless. This was practically a wasted trip, and it would not be easy to report back.

Just then, the space inside the room suddenly twisted, and Shi Yi's figure abruptly appeared.

Seeing the state of the room while carrying his numerous bags, Shi Yi was also taken aback. He had not expected anyone to be inside.

Shi Yi immediately tossed down the bags he was carrying and pulled out a silenced pistol.

"Shi Yi, you're actually a master of Daoist arts?"

Xu Er jumped in fright when he saw Shi Yi suddenly appear.

Seeing a living person abruptly materialize in broad daylight could scare a timid person to death.

"Spare my life, master!"

"This lowly one, Xu Er, did not intentionally sneak into your room. Zhu Liang of the Five Tigers Gang threatened this lowly one with the lives of my wife and children, so I had no choice but to infiltrate the room."

"Please spare my life, master!"

However, Xu Er quickly came to his senses. His body trembled with fear as he dropped to his knees and begged for mercy, immediately selling out Zhu Liang of the Five Tigers Gang.

He had heard of the methods of Daoist arts, abilities as divine and uncanny as ghosts and gods.

Anyone capable of appearing out of thin air like this had to be an accomplished master of Daoist arts.

He definitely could not outrun him. All he could do was kneel and beg for mercy.

Biu!

Shi Yi pulled the trigger, and a faint sound rang out.

A bullet shot from the pistol. Before Xu Er could react, it left two red dots, one at the front and one at the back of his head.

Shi Yi then fired another shot into Xu Er's heart.

"Sigh, I only wanted to cultivate in peace. Why did you have to push me?"

Shi Yi sighed.

Since someone had discovered his secret, he naturally could not let that person remain alive.

If the secrets on his person were discovered, they would surely bring him endless trouble.

So from the instant Xu Er saw him appear out of thin air, Shi Yi had no intention of letting Xu Er live.

"Zhu Liang of the Five Tigers Gang, I hadn't even taken the initiative to provoke you, yet you dared to come looking for trouble with me again."

"You have already earned yourself a death sentence."

Naturally, Shi Yi knew Zhu Liang of the Five Tigers Gang.

He was the scar-faced Third Master who had previously had someone rob him of three copper coins.

Originally, Shi Yi had not wanted to stir up trouble, so he had chosen not to retaliate.

But now they had come right to his door, had set their sights on him, and were prying into his secrets.

Shi Yi could not allow such a person to keep living.

Shi Yi knew very well that although Anyuan Town was not particularly large, it had many factions and was a mixed bag of fish and dragons.

A few deaths were extremely common. When he had disguised himself as a blind beggar before, he had come across scenes left behind by vendetta killings, and his camera had even accidentally captured such scenes.

Therefore, he knew very well that Anyuan Town was far from peaceful.

Shi Yi picked up the bullets from the ground, then stuffed Xu Er's corpse into the body bag he had just brought.

He had not expected the body bag to come in handy so quickly!

Shi Yi also tossed the bloodstained clumps of dirt from the floor into the body bag.

He cleaned away every trace Xu Er had left behind.

Only then did he realize that Double Pupils were also extremely useful for cleaning up a battlefield after the fighting.

"One tael of silver and a little over twenty copper coins. He really was a poor ghost."

Shi Yi took out everything Xu Er had on him. There was not much money.

Friends who killed often all knew that killing someone was not difficult; dealing with the corpse was the hard part.

"Later, I'll bury the body beneath the large tree outside Anyuan Town. It'll also be a good chance to confirm how long Same-World Shuttle needs to recharge after shuttling."

From the moment Shi Yi saw someone in his room and chose to act, he had already thought of how to dispose of the body!

Compared with others, he had a better way to dispose of corpses.

"For a large tree in the wilderness to grow tall and strong, it needs more nourishment. One corpse isn't enough—it needs more corpses as nourishment."

"When I was disguised as a blind beggar, I saw Zhu Liang of the Five Tigers Gang go drinking at Yihongyuan several times. He only returned home at night."

"When the time comes, I'll hide in the shadows first. If there's an opportunity, I'll take Zhu Liang out with a cold shot. If there isn't, I'll postpone the time to act."

Since Shi Yi had an idea, he naturally began planning the process.

It might sound a little rushed, but the sooner these matters were dealt with, the better.

Nipping the trouble in the bud would also spare him further trouble.

"My spare new identity from before can finally make an appearance in Anyuan Town!"

Shi Yi took out the disguise supplies he had prepared earlier.

That identity had originally been a backup option, but after what had just happened, he could only use it ahead of time.

After the shuttle ability finished recharging, Shi Yi first adjusted the position of the Anchor Point inside the room, placing the exit in the small side room used for storing miscellaneous items so he would not be discovered again next time.

After finishing that, Shi Yi picked up the body bag containing Xu Er, brought digging and camouflage supplies, and activated his shuttle ability once more.

All his previous shuttles had been Two-World Shuttles. This was his first time using Same-World Shuttle.

With a slight movement of Shi Yi's thoughts, his figure vanished from the room again.

Then Shi Yi reappeared beneath the large tree in the wilderness. This was a remote, desolate place where few people passed by, making it relatively safe. That was why Shi Yi had always chosen to shuttle here before, and he had never encountered anyone else.

"Great tree, great tree, grow even more lush next year!"

Shi Yi began digging, and before long, he had dug a large pit.

As his Blood Essence and strength had grown, his stamina had risen along with them. Digging a hole was now easy for him.

After tossing Xu Er's corpse into the pit and burying it, Shi Yi placed the money he had taken from Xu Er beneath a stone beside the tree.

Before confirming whether the Five Tigers Gang possessed other means of investigation, he did not want to expose his identity over such a small amount of silver.

There were many possible reasons for a person to suddenly disappear, and no one would necessarily suspect him. But if the missing person's money were found on someone else, then that person would definitely be connected to the missing man.

The possibility was minuscule, but for Shi Yi, who was capable of doing this, it was no trouble to take the precaution.
