Announcement! The quest <Conquer Sand City> will be completed by the next reincarnator...

Li Wei's expression relaxed, but he could no longer hold on. Before several beams of white light enveloped him, he gave Seventy-Two a grateful look, and then he was teleported out of the mission world.

The next second, Li Wei was back in that small room in Shadow Street.

"Ding! You have obtained an 'Upgrade Scroll'."

Looking at the instructions on the Yellow Paper, Li Wei didn't take out the reward item or the upgrade scroll to examine it closely. Instead, he forced himself to open the passage to the real world. The next second, Li Wei returned to the cave where he had parted ways with the Taoist He.

The cave was empty at the moment, and the Daoist was nowhere to be found. Li Wei did not investigate further, but instead activated the Shifting Forms and Changing Positions.

The scene changed. Li Wei arrived at the villa area in an instant, but what he saw left him speechless.

My eyes instantly welled up with tears!

What a horrific scene! The once warm and lively villa area is now completely destroyed, with corpses strewn everywhere. Judging from the condition of the bodies, they were all killed in an instant.

The corpse had been drained of all its blood, and its appearance was horribly gruesome. Li Wei walked tremblingly into the villa area, seeing many familiar faces along the way.

There was Director Zhang, who liked to give orders, and Aunt Wang, who cooked delicious meals. Their bodies lay on the ground, aprons still tied around their waists, suggesting they were working just moments before they were killed.

"Who did this?" Li Wei clenched his fists as he walked, his already depleted true energy bursting forth again in his anger.

A ball of fire ignited on Li Wei's fist, the crimson flames almost tangible, radiating scorching heat.

Hatred erupted from the depths of his heart, each corpse like a heavy hammer blow to Li Wei. All he received in return was Jiu Tian's hatred.

Upon seeing Liu Piaopiao's body, Li Wei's anger reached its peak.

The female student lay frail on the ruins of a wall, a fatal wound on her neck, clearly inflicted by the murderer with a sharp blade. Aside from this, Liu Piaopiao had no other injuries.

He was killed in one blow?

Li Wei's pupils dilated slightly. He knew that Liu Piaopiao's combat strength had reached the level of the eye socket, and the person who could kill her with one blow must have a combat strength of at least the level of the eye socket.

"Where's Amakusa?" Li Wei suddenly remembered. There was a Level 2 Reincarnator like Amakusa in the villa area.

Li Wei knew Amakusa's fighting strength best; she was second only to himself and far stronger than Zheng Yutong. With her here, how could this have happened?

Was she not here when it happened?

Li Wei stood up, turned around, and saw a figure in red fluttering out from the corner of the wall, as if being blown by a gentle breeze.

That figure in red looked familiar to Li Wei.

An unbelievable possibility emerged.

"Impossible!"

Li Wei ran over in a few steps and saw this scene.

A slender woman, her abdomen pierced by a sharp object, leaned against the wall, her body not collapsing. Her pale face showed little sign of Pain, as if she were asleep. But this sleeping beauty was now lifeless.

"Amakusa?"

Li Wei recognized the woman at a glance. She had clearly put up a tremendous fight before being killed, because Li Wei saw a broken sword pellet lying next to Amakusa's corpse.

That was Amakusa's weapon. Li Wei bent down and picked it up, his eyes already bloodshot.

In the villa area, Li Wei also found his father's body. The old man was clutching an iron rod, seemingly trying to fight the murderer but was brutally killed.

At this moment, Li Wei remained silent.

He knew his father's personality inside and out. He was a typical farmer, simple and honest, but by no means cowardly. Even when facing an enemy a hundred or a thousand times stronger than himself, the old man would grab whatever was at hand and fight to the death, because this was his home.

A man can lose everything, but he must never lose his courage!

That's how my father taught me.

Scenes from his childhood flashed through his mind, laughter and sorrow like a slideshow. When he thought of something amusing, a smile appeared on Li Wei's lips.

Li Wei gently closed his father's eyes with his hands, then took out the Copper Pot, quickly activated his magic seal, and a streak of light flashed by. His father's body had vanished from the spot.

In that instant, the smile on Li Wei's lips vanished, replaced by a face full of tears!

He then collected the bodies of Amakusa and Liu Piaopiao into the Copper Pot. Death is the end of life, Li Wei didn't know why he did this; perhaps it was to find solace in his heart.

Afterwards, Li Wei gathered up all the other corpses, then used his true energy to unleash a fireball. The flames engulfed the familiar faces of Xiaoxi, causing them to vanish without a trace.

Li Wei stood before the ruins of the villa area for a long time.

Who did all this?

Li Wei's mind went through everyone he might have offended, his enemies, and all the major reincarnators in Shadow Street. He considered them the only reincarnators capable of achieving the Weeping Point and killing the low-level Amakusa Four-Six Little Wizard.

Could it be him?

"No matter who it is, I will make sure that person dies a horrible death!"

Using Shifting Forms and Changing Positions again, Li Wei instantly arrived in front of his Sand City. "If it wasn't a chance attack, then it must be someone who has a grudge against me and the other reincarnators. If he can find the villa area, he can definitely find this Sand City too," Xiao...

Upon seeing the Sand City, Li Wei scanned it with his Eye of Perception and discovered news that made his heart sink to the bottom.

"Level Sand City, owned by the Reincarnated One!"

As expected, this reincarnated person with the concave number is very likely the murderer.

An unfamiliar number; none of the people Li Wei knew possessed this number. Moreover, this number was so far down the list. Under these circumstances, there was only one possibility: this number had been stolen, and it was the same as his own.

Regardless of the circumstances, Li Wei decided to immediately begin the siege and kill this reincarnator.

Just then, a pair of hands suddenly emerged from the soil and grabbed Li Wei's ankles. While Li Wei was still in shock, the Daoist, covered in mud, crawled out of the ground. "Come back here! Don't be impulsive!"

At this moment, the Daoist's expression was solemn. He simply pulled Li Wei and retreated without paying any attention to anything else.

In addition, the Daoist quickly cast a talisman, forming a transparent screen that separated Li Wei from him.

Soon, Li Wei understood why the Daoist had done what he was doing.

With a whooshing sound, a person flew out from the Sand City. After Li Wei saw clearly, his blood surged and he was about to rush out to fight, but he was held tightly by the Daoist beside him.

"If you go out now, you're dead."

Li Wei was well aware of this. He finally understood why even the level-one Amakusa was killed so easily; even with his own formidable fighting strength, if he were to fight that person in the sky, the outcome would also be death.

The creature in the sky is the Sky-Piercing Fox Demon, a super-powerful demon that escaped from the Demon Refining Pot.

She was currently floating less than a hundred meters away from Li Wei, but it seemed as if she couldn't see Li Wei at all. Looking puzzled, she muttered to herself, "Strange, I clearly sensed that enemy's presence just now, how come it disappeared in such a short time?"

The fox demon flew around the area for several miles again, but found nothing, so it flew back to Sand City.

Back in Sand City, the fox demon frowned, then roared, "Where did this scoundrel come from? Show yourself!"

Having said that, he flicked his hand, and a yellow light flashed, as if an invisible hand had slammed the room next to him, which was filled with miscellaneous items, into ruins.

Broken stones and sand flew up, and a cloud of dust billowed up, demonstrating the ferocity of the fox demon's attack.

After the fox demon exhaled a strange gust of wind that scattered the ashes, she glanced at the collapsed house but found no one there.

"They escaped really fast!" The fox demon sneered. She could smell two lingering scents in the air. She was certain they were two women, but to the fox demon, they were just two insignificant people; they were gone, so what?

In a small alley in Shadow Street, Zheng Yutong and Nina were panting heavily. They looked at each other with lingering fear, and both saw extreme shock in each other's eyes.

"Individual, level?"

If they hadn't opened the portal to Shadow Street in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

After being led to a cave by the Daoist, Li Wei basically knew what had happened. Sand City had fallen, and with that fox demon-level combat power, whoever remained in Sand City would be killed by her.

At this point, Li Wei could only pray that there would be fewer people left behind in Sand City.

The fates of Xue Yan, Chen Dali, and Luo Cheng are unknown. Fortunately, Li Wei has not yet seen any death notification for Blood Wolf, which means that Blood Wolf was not in Sand City when the fox demon attacked, and most likely entered the mission world.

Li Wei's mind was in turmoil, and this was the only thing he could think of at that moment.

The deaths of his father, Amakusa, and Liu Piaopiao made Li Wei want to rush out and tear the fox demon in Sand City to pieces, but reason told him that going out like that would be suicide.

Li Wei knew what the level represented.

The Sword Saint of Mount Shu is only at the highest level, and the Green-Robed Sword Immortal is only at the lowest level. Either of these two could kill Li Wei like crushing an ant. So, a fox demon who is at the same level as the Sword Saint, or even a level higher than the Green-Robed Sword Immortal, is naturally not someone Li Wei can currently defeat.

But if he did nothing, Li Wei was afraid he would go crazy.

Suddenly, Li Wei's expression changed.

"Young Daoist, if a person enters a mandatory mission in the real world, then when they return to the real world from the mission, they will appear at the location where they entered the mission, right?"

The Daoist beside him nodded, seemingly puzzled.

But then, Li Wei's true energy surged, and he suddenly vanished from the spot.
