Let's do something big! I choose? No, no, no, you choose

"Going big?"

For some reason, Ye Lingtian felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at Jun Wangyou's smiling lips.

"How about we don't? I just want to leave here quickly."

Ye Lingtian averted his gaze and said tentatively.

"Stop the nonsense."

Jun Wangyou patted Ye Lingtian on the head.

Then, he told Ye Lingtian about the news he had just received and explained what they were going to do next.

After Ye Lingtian heard it…

"What! You want to kill all the Demonic Cultivators in this city?!"

Ye Lingtian's voice suddenly rose, his pupils constricting. Then, as if realizing this was inappropriate, he quickly lowered his voice and swallowed.

"No way, big brother, can we not play that big? I'm only 18, I don't want to die young so soon."

Ye Lingtian pleaded with a desperate look. He truly just wanted to leave.

Jun Wangyou glanced at him and said slowly, "I don't know who it was that told me they wanted to achieve great things. I didn't expect them to chicken out so soon."

"I… I… I said that?"

Ye Lingtian wanted to retort, but he realized he might have actually said it and instantly shrank his neck guiltily.

Seeing his expression, Jun Wangyou sighed and said, "If you want to leave, then go. I can do it alone."

"Leave alone? Forget it then."

Ye Lingtian looked utterly defeated.

Jun Wangyou chuckled, glanced at him, and thought to himself, Silly kid, you got on my pirate ship, and now you want to run?

Soon, the two youths had agreed on their next course of action.

Then, they walked out of the room together.

On top of a towering building.

"Hoo!"

Jun Wangyou took a deep breath of fresh air mixed with the scent of blood, his gaze profound.

His purpose in coming to the east was solely to kill.

As long as he could kill and gain battle merits, it didn't matter where he did it.

Turning, Jun Wangyou said to Ye Lingtian, who was drumming his fingers nervously, "Go on. As the esteemed third young master of the Ye family, don't disgrace your Ye family's name."

"Got it. Big brother, you be careful too."

Ye Lingtian sighed, knowing that the arrow was already nocked and ready to fly.

With a leap, Ye Lingtian jumped off the tall building.

As for Jun Wangyou, he crept towards the City Lord's Mansion.

Ye Lingtian's mission was simple: to lure away as many Demonic Cultivators as possible, allowing Jun Wangyou to deal with those Golden Cores without any worries.

Once the strongest were eliminated, the rest would be nothing.

At the same time, in the underground drainage hub not far from the City Lord's Mansion.

A group of five people were discussing something.

This was the drainage transfer station for the entire Tai'an City, which was always foul-smelling.

After a round of slaughter, a large amount of bloody water and severed limbs had flowed in, making the environment ten times worse than usual.

But at this moment, these five people seemed oblivious.

They were even getting excited as the discussion progressed.

"Brother Ye, did you really break through?"

A petite, loli-like girl among the five asked excitedly.

"That's right. I broke through not long ago, but dealing with those few people should be no problem."

A young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, who was quite sunny and handsome, said with a smile.

His expression was relaxed, clearly showing that his cultivation breakthrough had filled him with confidence for a certain matter.

"Even before breaking through, Brother Ye Xiu could kill those at Perfected Core Formation. Now that he's reached Core Formation, killing early-stage Golden Cores should be a piece of cake, right?"

At this moment, a burly young man with a thick neck said with a simple, honest smile, scratching his head.

"Well done! If I add you, Brother Ye Xiu, dealing with those few people should be fine."

"But the problem now is, how do we lure away the large number of Demonic Cultivators near the City Lord's Mansion?"

A young woman with a curvaceous figure and beautiful face frowned as she spoke.

Her name was Ji Yueying, and she was the one who initiated the formation of this five-person team.

The five of them were all survivors from Tai'an City.

Among them, Ji Yueying was Tai'an City's foremost prodigy, and also the eldest daughter of Tai'an City's most prominent family, the Ji Family.

However, the Ji Family was now a thing of the past.

Upon hearing Ji Yueying's question, the remaining four people all knitted their brows tightly.

Luring away a large number of Demonic Cultivators was simple; all it took was creating a big enough commotion.

But at the same time, it was extremely dangerous.

Therefore, the person who undertook this task had to be strong, fast, and possess a spirit of self-sacrifice.

Just as all five were feeling troubled...

Suddenly--

BOOM!

A world-shattering explosion rang out. Even from underground, they could feel the violent tremors.

"What's going on?"

The five were stunned, and then, a flicker of surprise flashed in Ji Yueying and Ye Xiu's eyes.

"An opportunity has arrived!"

At this moment, outside the City Lord's Mansion, on the street, Jun Wangyou, clad in a cold, stern black outfit, walked slowly towards the mansion, sword in hand.

"Who goes there?!"

At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, several Demonic Cultivators spotted Jun Wangyou and immediately shouted loudly.

Jun Wangyou ignored them and swung his sword.

"Swoosh!"

CRASH!

The several Demonic Cultivators were instantly cut in half, and the mansion gate behind them was also cleaved into ruins by the single sword strike.

Those who remained to guard this city were not particularly strong.

This could be seen from the fact that the strongest among them were only at the Golden Core stage.

Most were only at the Qi Refining Realm.

Those who reached Foundation Establishment were considered minor leaders, like centurions.

Stepping over the corpses, Jun Wangyou slowly entered the City Lord's Mansion.

What greeted his eyes was a rather spacious grand hall.

But as soon as he entered the City Lord's Mansion, Jun Wangyou felt something was wrong.

It was too quiet!

There wasn't a single person in the City Lord's Mansion.

Jun Wangyou frowned and looked around.

Suddenly--

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"To dare come here alone, your courage is indeed commendable."

"Unfortunately, this is merely a path to your own demise."

As a hoarse voice echoed, a figure completely wrapped in a black robe emerged from within the hall.

He raised his head, revealing a pair of sinister eyes.

The man's face was aged and incredibly wrinkled, as if he were wearing a mask.

[Han Fei has a negative favorability towards you, current favorability: -6 stars]

[Han Fei: Cultivation: early Golden Core, Identity: Sect Master of the Yin Xie Sect, Commander of the Demon-Monster Allied Army...]

[Zhuang Tong has a negative favorability towards you, current favorability: -6 stars]

[Gou Da has a negative favorability towards you, current favorability: -5 stars]

[Gou Er has a negative favorability towards you, current favorability: -5 stars]

Lines of text suddenly appeared before Jun Wangyou's eyes.

Jun Wangyou instantly understood.

Glancing around, Jun Wangyou asked Han Fei coldly, "Is it just you?"

Han Fei's aged face broke into a smile, and he said playfully, "Am I not enough?"

Although Han Fei was smiling, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

This was because he couldn't see through Jun Wangyou's cultivation.

Jun Wangyou shook his head and said with a cold expression:

"I'm afraid it's not enough. Bring out the other three together. It'll be better for everyone if we finish this quickly."

"Kid, you're quite arrogant!"

As soon as Jun Wangyou's voice fell, three figures flew out from three different directions of the City Lord's Mansion.

Two of them, or rather, two dogs, had dog heads and human bodies, and were tall, reaching three meters in height.

The other person was hunched over, leaning on a cane, and was an equally old man.

The four of them stood together, looking at Jun Wangyou with a playful expression.

"Kid, one wasn't enough, so will the four of us be enough?"

Gou Da opened his fanged mouth, sticking out his tongue, still dripping with saliva, and licked his lips.

Jun Wangyou's expression was calm, "About enough."

"Heh heh, arrogant enough! Unfortunately, I don't like it!"

Gou Er was extremely violent, exuding an aura of a berserker.

"Now, will you pick one of the four of us?"

Han Fei said with a slight smile, seemingly having Jun Wangyou cornered.

Or perhaps he was too bored and decided to toy with Jun Wangyou.

Everyone had a relaxed expression, not taking Jun Wangyou too seriously.

But at this moment, Jun Wangyou shook his head and slowly said, "No, no, no, I won't choose. You guys choose."

As his voice fell, ten Spirit Treasure Swords slowly flew up from behind Jun Wangyou.

On the hilt of each sword sat a Spirit with a smiling face.

Jun Wangyou slowly retreated, a playful smile on his face, "Pick one."

"This... this is, Spirit... Spirit Treasures!!!"

"And ten Spirit Treasure Swords!! Who exactly are you?!"

Han Fei's expression changed drastically, and he looked at Jun Wangyou in terror.

Damn it, these were ten Spirit Treasures!

And they were all swords.

Such a display, even the contemporary young master of Qi Tian Palace in the Central Continent might not be able to afford it.

After all, even the most trashy Spirit Treasure could only be owned by powerful cultivators at the Integration Realm or above.

Below that, even if you were in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Without a powerful background, possessing a Spirit Treasure would definitely lead to endless pursuit!

And the young man before them now actually possessed ten Spirit Treasures simultaneously.

And they were all swords, the implication of which was too terrifying.

Jun Wangyou ignored their shock and coldly said, "Not choosing? Then all of you!"

"Kill!"
