Leaping from the tall building, Jun Wangyou weaved through the city like a ghost.
No one could find him.
Before deciding to leave the Heavenly Dao Sacred Land, Jun Wangyou had estimated his strength.
With his own cultivation alone, he shouldn't fear Core Formation and could even contend with Golden Core.
This was mainly due to Jun Wangyou's terrifying spiritual energy reserves.
And if he used external items, like controlling all his treasures.
Then, sorry, even Nascent Soul cultivators would have to crawl.
This was also the confidence Jun Wangyou had in coming to the east.
After all, who would have thought that a Foundation Establishment cultivator could deal with Nascent Soul?
Soon, Jun Wangyou discovered a patrol team.
A total of ten people, seemingly searching for survivors.
After all, the city was so large, there would always be some who slipped through the net.
Jun Wangyou followed them and observed for a while.
He found that the strongest in the team was only at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Since that was the case...
Jun Wangyou directly took out the Nine Heavens Scarlet Fire Sword and slashed at them!
"Clang!"
"Swish!"
Sword energy crisscrossed, and the ten-person team died nine before they could even react.
The one remaining was so scared he was dumbfounded.
He knelt on the ground, looking around and begging for mercy.
"Senior, spare my life, I don't know anything."
"Swish!"
A black shadow flashed, and the remaining person disappeared from his spot.
In a dark alley.
Jun Wangyou pressed the tip of his sword against the man's throat and said coldly, "I ask, you answer. If your answer satisfies me, I might consider letting you live."
"S-Sir, please ask."
The man's eyes were filled with fear, his hands raised above his head, not daring to resist at all.
"I ask you, how many people do you have left in this city?" Jun Wangyou asked.
"T-There are still a thousand people in total, and two thousand from the Demon Race."
"Who is the strongest, what is their cultivation level, and where do they live?"
"The strongest is Commander Han Fei, with early Golden Core cultivation. He should be living in the City Lord's Mansion right now."
"Where did your main force go?"
"I... I don't know about that, I'm just a nobody."
"Alright, let's change the question. How many Golden Core cultivators are there in the city right now, and who are they?"
"T-There are 4 in total. They are Commander Han Fei, Vice Commander Zhuang Tong, and there should be two from the Demon Race, but I don't know their names."
"What is that mountain-like Demonic Beast in the city called, and what is its strength?"
"This... I don't know either. That Demonic Beast has been sleeping since we attacked the city. It has never woken up. I truly don't know."
"Very good, your answers satisfy me. Now you can die!"
"Didn't you say..."
"Pfft!"
Wiping the bloodstains from his sword with the dead man's clothes, Jun Wangyou's expression was cold.
"I only said I might consider letting you live."
Jun Wangyou looked around, ensuring no one had discovered him, and quickly disappeared.
Returning to the abandoned house.
As soon as he returned, Jun Wangyou saw Ye Lingtian sitting on the ground, staring blankly at a phantom token in front of him.
"Lingtian!"
Jun Wangyou called out.
Ye Lingtian looked up, surprised and delighted, "Big Brother, when did you get back?"
"Just now." Jun Wangyou shook his head, then pointed at the illusory token and asked, "What is this thing? I saw you staring at it blankly."
Ye Lingtian immediately said excitedly, "Big brother, this is called a Merit Record Token. It can record the merit you gain from killing enemies, and you can directly exchange for supplies with the token using your merit."
"It just appeared in front of me. I wasn't staring blankly just now; I was immersed in the world inside it."
Ye Lingtian was very excited, clearly he had never seen such a thing before either.
Jun Wangyou was a little confused. Why don't I have one?
Could it be because I'm too handsome?
The next second, an identical token appeared in front of Jun Wangyou.
It seemed to be condensed directly from the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
Quite mystical.
"This..." Jun Wangyou was also a little stunned.
"Huh? Big brother, you have one too." Ye Lingtian said with surprise.
Jun Wangyou nodded, then reached out and grasped the token.
Instantly, Jun Wangyou's consciousness was pulled into a virtual space.
The space wasn't large, with only two giant stone tablets standing within it.
At this moment, a surge of information poured into Jun Wangyou's mind.
In an instant, Jun Wangyou understood the token's function and origin.
It turned out that this token was created by a super force in the eastern region.
Its main function was to record merit. As long as one killed a Demonic Cultivator or a member of the Demon Race, they would receive a virtual token.
The token contained a small teleportation array.
Resources exchanged through the token could be directly teleported to the exchanger's hands using this small teleportation array.
"Holy crap, isn't this a function only systems have?"
Jun Wangyou was stunned!
This was simply a simplified version of the Killing System.
If the exchangeable items weren't limited, Jun Wangyou would truly suspect that this was something created by some child of destiny.
After all, this thing was too magical.
It didn't seem like something someone from this world could create at all.
Raising his head, Jun Wangyou looked at the two stone tablets.
The stone tablet on the left was the merit leaderboard, while the one on the right displayed various resources.
The types of resources were numerous, including Spirit Stones, elixirs, weapons, spiritual herbs, cultivation techniques, Daoist magic, divine abilities, and even cities.
All resources were provided by the six Sacred Lands, so there was no fear of them being depleted.
"Interesting."
Interest flickered in Jun Wangyou's eyes.
Then, he looked at the merit leaderboard.
The leaderboard didn't distinguish by realm; it only showed who had killed the most enemies and had the most merit.
The person ranked first was named Gu Changqing, with over three million merit points.
Jun Wangyou couldn't help but check his own.
Well, it was quite good, a full 12 points...
Jun Wangyou looked at the lower half of the stone tablet.
Before long, he saw a familiar name.
Chen Tian, with 15,000 merit points, ranked 230,000th.
"This guy is pretty good."
Jun Wangyou's eyes showed admiration. 230,000th place seemed low, but one had to consider how many people were in the entire Eastern Continent.
Moreover, if Jun Wangyou guessed correctly, Chen Tian hadn't been participating in the battle for long.
This achievement was already quite good.
Continuing to look down, Jun Wangyou's gaze suddenly sharpened.
He saw another familiar person.
Ye Chen, with 5,000 merit points, ranked 630,000th.
"This kid..."
Jun Wangyou's expression was astonished. He had a very deep impression of this person.
He didn't expect him to be chosen as well, and his record was not bad.
However, in Jun Wangyou's memory, this Ye Chen's talent wasn't particularly impressive.
A little over a month ago, his cultivation was only at the early stage of Qi Refining.
But his current combat record showed that Ye Chen's strength was far beyond that.
"In a month, an ordinary person undergoes earth-shattering changes... Good heavens, is this guy really a child of destiny?"
Jun Wangyou's heart stirred.
He had previously suspected that Ye Chen might be a child of destiny.
But Ye Chen's subsequent disappointing performance had dispelled his guess.
However, Ye Chen's current combat record made Jun Wangyou somewhat certain of this guess.
"I hope you are, otherwise... this world will be too boring."
Recalling his thoughts, he returned to reality.
Jun Wangyou looked at Ye Lingtian, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips, and said, "Second brother, big brother will take you to do something big."
