The black-clothed expert was dumbfounded. With Zhao Kun dead, there was no scapegoat. Who would bear the wrath of the Lu family of Great Xia then?!
That fleeing Lu Zhong most likely went back to inform them. By then, the entire Magic City would be in big trouble!
"Damn it!"
Seeing the unfavorable situation, but with the target, "Lu Qian," also dead, the black-clothed expert could only swallow his anger.
"Who dares to kill my grandson!"
A powerful Entering Sage Realm aura rapidly approached. It was none other than the Zhao family Ancestor.
Clearly, the other party had sensed Zhao Kun's demise!
"Not good, Old Ghost Zhao is stubborn and sticks to his principles. It won't be good if we meet!"
Realizing the situation was bad, the black-clothed expert immediately struck, killing the remaining survivors in the manor with a single palm and leaving with Li Yang.
This scene was naturally witnessed by you, who were hiding in the dark.
Due to your deliberate disruption and scheming, the entire Shanghai Manor was thrown into chaos, and the various forces were all mixed together, making a mess.
After "shedding the cicada's shell," the mastermind would likely not continue to pursue you but would instead have to consider facing the wrath of the Lu family of Great Xia.
This would undoubtedly buy you a lot of "time" to quickly enhance your combat strength.
And once Lu Zhong, who knew the truth, returned, he would definitely reveal everything he knew. By then, the Lu family would certainly know that you were not dead, but they would also cooperate by using this as an excuse to make a fuss.
However, by then, the fact that you were cultivating would likely be known to the Lu family, but this was unavoidable.
Currently, you are still too weak. Every action must rely on leverage and planning.
You took out Ye Chen's severed arm, considering whether to use the "Nail Soul Technique" to pinpoint and intercept him, forcing the powerful secret technique, "Soaring Heaven Nine Steps," out of him.
Just now, after Ye Chen erupted and killed the Thousand Shadow Assassin, he clearly suffered some kind of backlash and was likely in a weakened state.
"A cornered beast is the most dangerous. It will definitely launch a desperate counterattack. It's better to let others take the lead."
You thought for a moment and ultimately dismissed the idea of directly chasing after him.
If Ye Chen were to desperately erupt with "Heavenly Step Ninefold" again, you might not be able to withstand it.
Since that was the case, it was better to let the Zhao family Ancestor, an Entering Sage expert, take the lead, while you hid behind the scenes and waited to reap the rewards.
"To get by in this world, you still need a brain. Those without one can only be used as pawns."
Thinking of the scene where Ye Chen, the Destiny protagonist, was used as a pawn by you, you felt a bit smug.
But you quickly regained your composure and quickly fled before the Zhao family Ancestor arrived. You didn't want to face an enraged old monster.
Since "Lu Qian" was already dead, you naturally couldn't maintain that identity and had to switch to another one.
You planned to live in Magic City as the substitute, "Su Meng," for now, observe the situation, and watch the events unfold with amusement.
"Su Meng" was secretly a death warrior of the Lu family, but on the surface, he was an orphan from an orphanage who grew up depending on his sister. Later, under the influence of the Lu family's power, he found a job doing miscellaneous logistics work at Modu University and settled down.
Previously, Su Meng had asked you for a favor, to take care of his sister after his death, and you had agreed.
You used "Shadow Mimicry" to change into Su Meng's appearance and came to a small rented room near Modu University. You soon saw the sister he mentioned, "Su Mei."
The first time you saw Su Mei, you were shocked by her beauty. She was a pure eighteen-year-old girl, but she possessed a naturally born charm that was no less than Liu Ruoyue's.
The only pity was that her eyes were snow-white; she was born blind.
Just as you were secretly feeling pity and also Rejoice that the disguise could proceed more smoothly, you saw Su Mei speak.
"Brother, you're back. I'm hungry."
"I'll go cook."
You knew she had a cold personality, and you were also a bit hungry at the moment, so you played the role of Su Meng and walked towards the kitchen.
Having lived in luxury for too long, your cooking skills were almost zero. After fumbling for a long time, you finally managed to stir-fry two dishes and brought them out.
You and your "sister" sat at the dining table to eat. You tasted a bite of the dish and found it was salty, too much salt, but Su Mei ate it without changing her expression.
After eating, you washed the dishes, and both of you returned to your rooms to rest.
After returning to your room, you began to take out resources to Cultivate, wanting to quickly improve your strength and enhance your trump cards.
You began cultivating the "Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture," but suddenly found that your cultivation speed seemed to have accelerated greatly, and the surrounding spiritual energy also became more active...
You were startled by this sudden change. Your gaze turned towards the room opposite the wall, which was clearly Su Mei's room, and also the location where spiritual energy gathered and was most concentrated.
You realized Su Mei's special nature. She seemed to possess some kind of special Physique, with something extraordinary about her. It was highly likely that she, like Liu Ruoyue, was a Destiny heroine.
"Another Destiny heroine!"
Lu Qian was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected to discover another one so quickly.
However, upon closer thought, Su Mei's experiences also seemed to have the potential to become a Destiny heroine.
An orphan, blind, depending on her brother for survival, her brother dying as a substitute, left alone and helpless, and also possessing a Physique that accelerates cultivation...
If the "self" in the simulator hadn't actively sought her out, Su Mei's fate after losing her brother's protection would naturally be imaginable...
At this point, if another Destiny protagonist were to appear to save her, the flavor would be just right.
"In that case, this counts as me intercepting her in advance."
The next day, you discovered that your cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, nearing the late stage of the Divine Power Realm. Both the "Shadow Mimicry" and "Dragon Elephant Overlord Body" divine abilities were enhanced.
Knowing this, you didn't make any special moves but continued to play the role of Su Meng. You went to do miscellaneous logistics work at Modu University in the morning to gather information, then returned home to cook for Su Mei, and cultivated at night.
On the first day, your cultivation Realm and Physique reached the late stage of the Divine Power Realm. The "Ancient Dragon Elephant Scripture" underwent a transformation, and your Physical Body gained the strength of an additional dragon.
On the second day, you began to consume a large amount of resources and attempted to break through. After six hours of Shock ), you finally successfully broke through to the Peak of the Divine Power Realm.
On the third day, you began to attempt to break through to the fifth Realm, Mountain River, but felt a resistance. Knowing that it would take some time, you decisively switched to cultivating the "Thousand Shadows Demonic Skill" and the "Talisman True Scripture" to enhance your trump card strength.
On the fourth day, you discovered that the "Thousand Shadows Demonic Skill" had reached the Peak of the fourth layer, and you gained the "Shadow Escape" ability, allowing you to escape into shadows, walk within them, and conceal your form.
At the same time, your mastery of Talismans also increased. You successfully drew a second-tier "Thunder Light Talisman" for the first time, becoming a second-tier Talisman Master...
