425: Reunion

The speaker was a round-faced old man, wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket embroidered with gold thread. After channeling his true energy, the robe reflected a glossy sheen, clearly indicating that he possessed innate cultivation.

Lu Li naturally didn't take it seriously; he was just happy that something interesting had finally arrived.

The round-faced old man continued shouting:

"I am Zhang Ben Zheng. I beg the True Lord to consider Heaven's benevolence and show mercy. Please make your request; everything is negotiable!"

Upon hearing the man introduce himself, Lu Li narrowed his eyes. "A person from the Divine Continent?"

Xia Weiyin said coldly, "He is a wealthy merchant from beyond the Great Wall. He once donated 40 airplanes at once, was received by the Emperor, and has many properties in Shengjing."

This statement essentially sealed Zhang Ben Zheng's fate, but the man remained oblivious, even arrogantly stating:

"That's right, whether the True Lord wants gold or magical artifacts, it's all negotiable..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Li's eyes shone with starlight, unleashing 60 tons of Mind Power, forcing the monstrous creature to its knees.

"I have come here today with no other desire than for your deaths."

"Wait, My True Lord!"

Zhang Ben Zheng was completely embedded in the ground, struggling and screaming like an ant:

"I possess 10 tons of gold, and I also treasure a Fourth-grade Magic Tool; only I know its whereabouts..."

"Not interested."

With a single glance Lu Li drew the man closer, then, with his fingers like knives piercing through his inner energy, he suddenly ripped out the man's heart.

Zhang Ben Zheng, a dignified innate master, was trapped by his mind and unable to move, watching helplessly as he faced death, all while wearing an expression of disbelief.

"You madman, Evil Spirit..."

Zhang Ben Zheng never dreamed that Lu Li, who was unmoved even by Fourth-grade Magic Tool, would kill him in half a minute of their encounter!

"What are you after...?"

Zhang Ben Zheng died. He breathed his last and knelt on the ground, motionless.

Lu Li crushed his heart, shook his hand, and said, "Continue the pursuit, try to leave no one alive."

Having said that, he summoned his six flying swords to join the chase, and the women scattered in pursuit.

A group of armed immigrants from Izumo were left helpless and desperate, being used as tools for testing their skills and training by a group of powerful individuals, who relentlessly pursued and attacked them.

Screams, cries, and pleas for mercy soared into the sky, and the entire Shengjing area did not quiet down until evening.

The city had been reduced to ruins, and swarms of crows and sparrows gathered, rushing to peck at the corpses before they froze.

"It's finally finished."

Lu Li basically killed them all himself. He was quite tired from grinding from morning till night, but he felt very satisfied and fulfilled.

The dragon blood energy was basically adapted and harmonized, the mental state was also adjusted to the best, and the expected goal was achieved.

He wasn't the one who wanted the biggest benefit.

Wan Qing was flying towards them, with a phantom of a Vermilion Bird appearing behind her, its fiery maw swirling and sucking in souls.

The Four Spirits are born from the Collective Unconscious of the Race, and the Divine Soul of the People of Izumo are the best source of nourishment.

"My lord, I have killed as many as 80,000 People of Izumo! I killed them with my own hands!"

The feeling of revenge was clearly wonderful; Wan Qing nestled into Lu Li's arms, her excited, tender face flushed red.

Lu Li reached out and touched the Vermilion Bird, praising it:

"It's almost fully manifested. Your breakthrough to the Manifestation realm will be very easy. Now you only need to reach the Innate Martial Arts realm."

"It's so fast, it feels like a dream!"

Even in the Wan Qing, there was also Internal Vision, so naturally one was aware of one's own cultivation level.

My dream is getting closer, and I even made a fortune today.

She was extremely excited, so she took Lu Li's hand and placed it on her own pomelo, saying in a seductive voice:

"My lord, I'd like to do 'that' a bit~"

Lu Li, naturally, wouldn't spoil the fun, and immediately set up a mental barrier.

Then, driving his own dump truck, he skillfully navigated the route into the garage.

The Vermilion Bird sang loudly, and the White Tiger, being one of the Four Spirits, immediately sensed its presence.

Xing Ru glanced in this direction, immediately spat, and scooped up some snow from the ground to melt it into water to wash her eyes.

The White Tiger heart image also manifested behind the two sisters, and it was three times more solid than before.

Currently, all Izumo immigrants have been apprehended, totaling 300,000.

Nearly half were devoured by the Vermilion Bird, while the rest were obtained by the White Tiger sisters.

The two cat-eared girls used their spiritual energy and spiritual spring, and their surging blood and vitality were no less than Lu Li's.

With the added blessing of a sincere heart, the golden body was basically secured, and it could even be said that it had the highest success rate among the women.

Xing Ru and her sister first met up with Xiao Cha, and then Xia Weijun.

After taking a long detour and spending more than half an hour, they finally arrived at Lu Li's side.

The couple had finished getting ready, Wan Qing calmed down, her expression returning to its gentle and graceful state.

Her bra was ruined, and her two breasts, now unrestrained, were sticking out. She had to mentally cover them up to avoid looking unsightly.

Xiao Cha sensed something was wrong, couldn't help but roll her eyes, and looked at her with disdain.

Lu Li, with his thick skin, chuckled at the women and said, "Everyone has gained something; this trip was definitely worthwhile."

Xia Weiyin asked calmly, "How is your cultivation progressing, young master? Are you going to the Tai Chi Palace to find my master next?"

"I'm all set here, let's go."

Lu Li stirred his mind and lifted the women, flying towards the Tai Chi Palace in the north.

No one asked him when he wanted to break through to the Golden Body realm.

Such a major breakthrough, besides requiring thorough preparation, sometimes also requires waiting for a specific opportunity.

~~~~~~~~~

Tai Chi Palace is located east of Changchun, less than 300 kilometers away, which is only half an hour's drive.

From the sky, the area was also littered with ruins and bomb craters, clearly indicating that a major battle had taken place.

After landing, Lu Li glanced up and saw a charred sign among the rubble, from which he could vaguely make out the words "Tai Chi Palace Comfort Station"!

Xia Weiyin gritted her teeth and said, "Izumo scoundrel Chuyun! He turned the Tai Chi Palace into a comfort station!"

This is both a case of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and a case of killing someone to destroy their spirit.

When Wan Qing was a child, she accompanied her pregnant mother to this place to pray for blessings. She was quite angry and, unusually, said with a cold face:

"There are also Izumo immigrants in the capital; let's kill them all."

Everyone nodded in agreement, intending to perform the ritual before proceeding.

Just then, a figure rushed towards them.

There was a monkey perched on his shoulder; it was Hou Shaoyi.

Upon meeting, the man and the monkey bowed respectfully to Lu Li.

"The sight of it inevitably brought back painful memories, so Master took Uncle-Master Zhenyangzi and went to Wolf Head Mountain, about 10 miles away, to stay."

There were no outsiders here, Hou Shaoyi spoke very directly.

The group then followed him to the place where the two Grandmaster were staying.

It's quite lively here, with lots of laughter and chatter. Those teenagers who came out to broaden their horizons are here too.

Upon seeing Lu Li from afar, they immediately fell silent and bowed respectfully.

Tong Shao and the Chen Siblings were also there, their faces shining with admiration as they looked at Lu Li.

Lu Li still remembered how the three children had actively buried the victims and admired their character, so he responded with a gentle smile.

Hou Shaoyi also praised them, saying, "The three of them are exceptionally talented and fearless in the face of adversity; they are truly promising young talents."

Hearing this, Lu Li decided to reward the three little ones properly later.

At this moment, Li Yuanzhong and Zhenyangzi had already come to greet them.

The two had a lot to ask Lu Li: How was his relationship with the Dragon Girl going? What happened in the Spirit Realm? Why hadn't Qiu Ying come out yet?

Upon meeting, the two Grandmaster were both stunned and speechless.

A group of young people were full of vitality, their blood and energy incredibly robust... they all had the qualifications to break through to the Golden Body Realm!
