Abnormality

"May I ask what brings Senior Xuanzi here this time?"

Before the bar, Xuanzi looked at the youth before him in considerable surprise.

The leader of such a superpower was actually a child who looked no more than a teenager.

However, there was no shortage of people on Douluo Continent who had regained their youth. Perhaps the other party merely looked young on the surface.

He glanced at the fairly lively shop and said, "What I mean is, this isn't a convenient place to talk with so many people around."

Yu Wuyi answered the question with a smile.

"Senior Xuanzi, rest assured. Not only can no one else hear our conversation, they cannot see it either."

Xuanzi raised a brow and asked curiously, "Why is that?"

He then saw Yu Wuyi control a bottle of wine and send it floating toward a distant table of customers.

After leaving the bar, the bottle of wine was actually carried by a figure that looked exactly like Yu Wuyi!

Astonishment appeared on Xuanzi's face. The real person was clearly still speaking with him, so this should have been a phantom.

Yet when he swept his spiritual power over that phantom, a thought arose in his mind.

That was tangible?

In other words, it was not a phantom, but a clone?

But he had not sensed the slightest soul power fluctuation from that person.

The more he looked at Wuyi All-Purpose House, the more unfathomable it became...

"I only came this time for the answers to two questions. They are rather important to us."

Yu Wuyi gestured with one hand.

"Please ask, Senior Xuanzi. However, if your questions involve too much, I may have to answer them in the form of a commission."

"After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch."

As he spoke, Firefly slowly walked behind him, her small hands gently kneading his shoulders.

Yu Wuyi looked up and met her gaze. The two of them smiled at the same time.

This scene appeared especially unusual in Xuanzi's eyes.

Back when Yu Wuyi had played Firefly before them, she had been sensible and understanding, but her emotions had seemed particularly muted.

As someone capable of operating a soul tool at the level of a Super Douluo, he had thought that was simply her natural disposition.

But now, she was like an ordinary gentle and virtuous girl, which surprised him greatly.

Moreover, judging from the way the two interacted, it was clear that their relationship was far from shallow.

"I'm not used to beating around the bush, so I'll ask directly."

"A few days ago, a powerful energy fluctuation appeared in the east of the Heaven Soul Empire."

"I wonder whether that matter had anything to do with House Master Yu?"

The matter he referred to was obviously Yu Wuyi's battle with Long Xiaoyao.

However, Shrek Academy did not know that. After sensing the fluctuation, Mu En immediately decided to send Xuanzi to investigate.

It was the first time in all these years that Xuanzi had seen such gravity on Mu En's face.

But by the time he arrived, all he could see was a battlefield reduced to utter devastation.

As well as the enormous crater at its center that left him stunned!

Xuanzi's martial soul was the Taotie Divine Ox, whose primary attribute was earth. If it was merely a crater several thousand meters wide, he could create one too, though it would take considerable effort.

But looking at the countless cracks surrounding the crater and everything that had been reduced to yellow earth, it was clearly only the result of being caught in the aftermath of some attack.

What level of attack was needed for even its aftershock to create such a scene?

Furthermore, he could still sense two main residual attributes within the crater: darkness and fire.

They were even both ultimate attributes!

This was what he found most inconceivable. In his memory, there were almost no peak experts who possessed Ultimate Darkness or Ultimate Fire!

He did know of one person with Ultimate Darkness: Di Tian.

But Di Tian had neither reason nor possibility to appear in such a place!

As for an expert with Ultimate Fire, that directly fell into a blind spot in his knowledge.

Just as he was caught in a storm of thoughts, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him!

That flash of inspiration was Wuyi All-Purpose House.

That force which was likewise inconceivable and beyond everyone's understanding.

If they were the ones behind this, then everything seemed to fall into place.

So Xuanzi came to Crimson Leap City to gather information, only to learn that this tiny shop was the Wuyi All-Purpose House he had been looking for.

Its humble appearance stood in stark contrast to the superpower he had imagined.

However, the moment he saw Firefly, he knew he had come to the right place.

Yu Wuyi replied with a faint smile:

"It is indeed related to me, because I am one of the parties involved."

Xuanzi understood. So that was how it was. But he had said one of the parties involved—then who was the other?

"Who is the other party?"

He was not surprised that the owner of the All-Purpose House possessed such power, but he cared greatly about the identity of the other expert.

Yet this question seemed far from simple. The other party gave him a distinctly enigmatic smile.

"This person's identity is very special, especially to your Shrek Academy."

"If Senior Xuanzi wishes to know, then you can only learn it through a commission."

"Of course, that will require a certain price."

A pale blue commission letter drifted before Xuanzi, arousing his curiosity.

This was his first time seeing such a thing.

The writing on it appeared to be in some kind of script he had never seen before.

Originally, he did not care too much about the other party's identity. If he could learn it, then so be it; if not, he would not force the matter.

After all, it required a price.

But Yu Wuyi had said it was connected to Shrek Academy, leaving him no choice but to consider it.

Before that, however, he had another question.

"Let us set that matter aside for now. Has House Master Yu noticed that there have been some unusual developments across the continent recently?"

"First came the disappearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's young sect master, a case that shook the entire continent. Then came the numerous abnormalities occurring in cities everywhere."

"Most importantly, evil soul masters have been involved in most of these incidents."

"Those rats that usually only know how to hide in the sewers seem to have become increasingly rampant lately."

"Does House Master Yu know anything about this?"

Oh? So the Holy Spirit Church had already begun making moves at this point?

Thinking back, Ning Tian in the original work seemed to have had short hair from the moment she first appeared.

But when Yu Wuyi had saved her in the beginning, she still had long hair, only cutting it short afterward.

Could it be that Ning Tian had already gone through this ordeal in the original work, except someone else had saved her?

Of course, it was also possible that the appearance of the Wuyi All-Purpose House had caused a butterfly effect.

Still, there was nothing to worry about. With his current strength, if the time came, he could simply crush all schemes with sheer force.

The Holy Spirit Church could be considered one of the strongest forces on the entire continent, but it was still not enough in front of him.

Thinking carefully, Xuanzi's two questions actually counted as only one, strictly speaking.

After all, revealing Long Xiaoyao's identity would also bring up the existence of the Holy Spirit Church.

But there was no reason to turn down free roleplay progress.

Another pale blue commission letter drifted before Xuanzi.

"So this means those evil soul masters really are up to something, isn't it?"

Xuanzi keenly sensed something.

If it had merely been scattered crimes committed by individual evil soul masters, then the triggering of a commission meant that something bigger was involved.

In other words, these evil soul masters most likely had an organization!
