Hidden Worries

Xia Weijun and Xiao Cha picked up the "Heavy Revolver Cannon" and swept away the consulate and the adjacent police station in one fell swoop.

Flames and thick smoke shot into the sky, and the two women rushed to the "Garrison Headquarters".

There are 1,500 army soldiers stationed here, as well as 2,000 expatriates who fled here.

Among them were countless unarmed people. Xia Weiyin was not a vicious person, and the muzzle of his cannon lowered subconsciously.

But in that instant, the scene that had put her into Meditative Entry flashed before her eyes... an infant crushed into a bloody pulp by a stone mill, and a group of laughing Izumo soldiers.

"In a war of genocide, no one is innocent. Anyone who sets foot on this land must bear the consequences."

Xia Weiyin raised the cannon again and calmly pulled the trigger.

The shells formed a continuous line of fire that swept across the entire camp, blasting people and buildings into pieces.

The screams were deafening; it was a scene straight out of hell.

On the contrary, Xiao Cha's thoughts were simple: these people have come to colonize, clearly intending to replace the old with the new, destroy the country and exterminate the race, so why should they stay? Let's just do it!

Without the slightest hesitation, she picked up the machine gun and unleashed a furious barrage, turning the entire command post upside down.

In areas where there are survivors, they will be targeted with follow-up shots to ensure that all of them are killed.

In no time, the Garrison Headquarters was engulfed in flames and billowing black smoke, with not a single living person left.

The two women's machine guns spun aimlessly, having run out of ammunition.

They handed it to the puppet that caught up, and didn't take any more, because the entire concession was finished.

At the same time, several rapid explosions came from afar, and the outcome of the battle on Li Yuanzhong's side was also decided.

The old Daoist's "Pine Pattern Sword" swept across the heavens at four times the Mach, accompanied by the sound of thunder.

A brightly colored spider, the size of a basketball court, was covered in gashes and retreated repeatedly.

The spider looked familiar to Lu Li; it was the same one he had seen when he first arrived in this other world.

Xia Weiyin said:

"This is the Ghost Spider, the Envoy of Izumo Aoki Kazuo envoy of Izumo. Although he is Manifestation, his Martial Arts Realm is only at the Innate stage; he is no match for Master."

Lu Li nodded, amazed by the "Heart Image," and even more amazed that the Martial Arts "Golden Body" could bring such a huge boost to the flying sword!

The old Daoist's flying sword was so powerful not only because of its speed, but also because it was imbued with "Indestructible Will".

This layer of golden light is indestructible, and also symbolizes invincibility.

No matter how the Ghost Spider spits webs or bares its fangs, it can cut them all down with a single sword strike—truly, one sword can shatter all laws!

But the giant spider was not easy to deal with either. It was incredibly tough and had a visible healing speed. Several rounds of flying sword strikes failed to completely kill it.

After a while, the giant spider aimed three orbs of light at the densely populated area.

While Li Yuanzhong went to rescue it, it quickly turned and ran away.

"Boom boom boom!"

Three deafening explosions rang out. Li Yuanzhong blocked two of the three orbs of light, but the last one was blasted apart by a flying sword in mid-air.

The powerful shockwave blew several houses away; the explosive force alone was stronger than that of 155mm Howitzer.

Xia Weijun said, "Both the Golden Body and the Manifestation can destroy a city. According to the Emperor of Izumo, they are weapons of mass destruction."

Lu Li nodded. The power of these two realms... was completely inhuman.

The grand drama has come to an end, and everything is settled.

Three women surrounded Lu Li as they left the increasingly scorching and humid concession.

~~~~~~~~~~

Back home, the puppet skillfully cleaned the cannon barrel and maintained the weapon.

Xia Weiyin raised her eyebrows triumphantly and said, "Phew~ It's been so long since I've felt this good!"

Wan Qing smiled and said, "There's even more exciting news when Sister Xia marries into the family!"

This gentle and refined lady actually made a lewd joke. Xia Weiyin was slightly embarrassed, but quickly regained her composure and said:

"You are both sincere and kind young ladies. I am truly fortunate to have such an opportunity with you."

"We're so happy to be part of your family, sister!"

After a few sweet words from the women, Li Yuanzhong, Hou Shaoyi, and Nan Jinping arrived at the door.

Nan Jinping asked, "Young Master Lu, you're quite resourceful! Did you find out where the drug manufacturing plant is?"

Xia Weiyin quickly said, "Lu Li got the information through possession, Ito Tairon said... the factory is in Huzhou."

Upon hearing this, the room fell silent for a moment.

Huzhou, known as the "Ten-Mile Foreign Concession," was incredibly prosperous. It was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of the Two Rivers and was also the location of the Azure Dragon.

How did this get involved with the People of Izumo's drug manufacturing plant?

After a while, Hou Shaoyi spoke:

"Huzhou is such a prosperous city, it's not impossible to disguise a factory there. Moreover, it's easier for a factory located there to reach the whole country."

Li Yuanzhong also said, "I will contact Governor Shen to thoroughly investigate the area and find this Poison Den."

Both of them deliberately avoided mentioning a possibility... perhaps because they thought it was impossible.

Moreover, for Li Yuanzhong, this is not the key issue at the moment.

The old Daoist priest smiled gently and said, "Let's go back to the sect first and settle Yun'er's marriage."

This sparked everyone's interest.

Nan Jinping said cheerfully, "Young friend Lu is Cultivator, so I have a perfect congratulatory gift for you."

Lu Li raced; it must be that Kunlun Sect's secret manual!

He was naturally very interested in the secrets of the Kunlun Mirror and couldn't wait to go to the Dragon Gate Sect to obtain the beauty and the secret manual.

But this time, I don't know when I'll be able to return from Jinmen, and I have a lot of luggage to pack.

Li Yuanzhong also needed to inform Jiang Shixiang, so the departure time was set for an hour later.

~~~~~~~~~

Next, Wan Qing directed several puppets to busily pack the items.

Xiao Cha went to Chen Zhizhong's house to pick up Tong Shao and said goodbye.

Lu Li, always carefree and without much luggage, sat in the room to cleanse his acupoints and wait.

Now that the acupoints in his arms have been cleansed, he begins to cleanse the acupoints in his legs.

But then a problem arose... He was missing his right leg, and his six meridians (three Yang and three Yin) were incomplete!

This is no joke!

The fundamental purpose of refining acupoints is to strengthen the body. Only with a strong body can one generate enough Internal Breath to be transformed into true qi.

Only with a strong physique can one withstand the damage caused by opening the "Bridge Between Heaven and Earth" and advance to the Innate Realm!

Such physical deformities and missing pulses are absolutely unacceptable!

Just as Lu Li was struggling with this problem, Xia Weiyin knocked on the door and came in, saying:

"Xiao Cha called back and said that Chen Zhizhong wants to come and visit, entrusting his two children to his care. The brother and sister are quite clever; we might as well accept them."

Lu Li nodded casually, then frowned and pondered, rubbing his right leg.

Xia Weiyin leaned closer and gently comforted him, "Don't worry, little brother. My master has a wide circle of friends and will help you find a way."

Two large, trembling watermelons are right in front of me, tempting yet comforting.

Lu Li also put aside his concerns and asked, "Sister Xia, are we getting married as soon as we get back?"

Xia Weiyin blushed and said, "It can't be that fast, it's too much trouble."

"I see..."

Seeing that his sister was still shy, Lu Li wanted even more to hug her and give her a good squeeze and rub.

But at that moment, he and Xia Weijun both looked towards the gate.

Two unexpected guests arrived: the Governor's daughter, Jiang Haiyan, and her master, Qiu Yan.
