Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 387 Theater Assassination
The black hovercar was parked on the side of the road. Its excellent chassis tuning technology allowed it to drive quickly and smoothly through various complex ground and air passages, and the passengers in the cabin would not feel bumpy due to the rough roads.

"Bah..."

The car door opens.

Qianlan, dressed in a gorgeous gown, stepped out of the car and casually took Zhu Ju's arm.

"More than a hundred years ago, the Qian family was just an ordinary family. But by getting in touch with Tianyin Entertainment, they became a prominent family in the city in just a few decades."

"Silver Eagle Theater, Nightingale Club..."

"The Qian family owns a stake in almost every business that is related to so-called high-end enjoyment."

There are only two truly top-tier families in Fuxing City.

The Wang family and the Xie family.

These two families, with martial arts masters presiding over them, possess special secret techniques passed down for thousands of years.

Below it.

Examples include the He family of the Tianfu Chamber of Commerce, the Lin family which focuses on scientific research, and the Qian family which runs an entertainment business, etc.

Such families also possess considerable wealth and influence.

However, none of these families have produced a Martial Saint, so even with a lot of money, they still cannot be considered top-tier.

Apocalyptic society.

Ultimately, strength reigns supreme.

"Mr. Zhu?"

"Councilor Cao!"

Zhu Ju smiled and shook hands with the man who was rushing over:

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Of course, of course," Cao Youche bowed repeatedly, while simultaneously gesturing inside.
"Mr. Zhu, please."

The guard beside him reached out and pressed down, and an invisible force field expanded outwards, like a layer of frosted glass, blocking the paparazzi from taking pictures on the street.

"Upon hearing that Mr. Zhu has taken over Boss Jiao's business, as a district councilor, I should pay him a visit immediately."

Cao Youche spoke:
"after all……"

"Several thousand people in Licheng District live under the tutelage of Jiao Laoda."

Zhu Ju smiled faintly.

Jiao Laoda owns numerous businesses, employs thousands of people, and has a far wider influence.

His every move can affect the lives of tens of thousands of families and hundreds of thousands of people.

of course.

These all now belong to Zhu Ju.

"Of the nine districts in Funeng City, Licheng District is the poorest. It is thanks to great entrepreneurs like Mr. Zhu that the people at the bottom of society have a way to survive."

Cao Youche looked serious:
“I also come from a humble background in Licheng District, and I know very well the hardships faced by people at the bottom. I hope Mr. Zhu can work with me to maintain and transform Licheng District.”

"Entrepreneur?" Zhu Ju smiled, naturally not taking such polite words seriously.

“Councilor Cao really thinks highly of me.”

"That's how it is." - Cao Youche
"Cats have their paths, and mice have their ways. As long as we can live, Mr. Zhu, you are the provider of food and clothing for Licheng District."

"No need for flattery," Zhu Ju waved his hand.
"The reason why Licheng District is so chaotic is because there are too many fights and killings. I can't stand it and want to unify its management. This should be a good thing for maintaining the city's security."

Why did Representative Cao insist on stopping it?

fart!

It's common knowledge that Safe City has a dark side and an underworld.

The reason why major wealthy families and conglomerates don't care is twofold: firstly, they don't make much money from it, and secondly, it causes a lot of trouble.

But some things are indispensable, so the councilors turned a blind eye to Jiao Laoda and others.

Leaving it unattended does not mean we will not pay attention.

In reality, Jackal, Doctor, Baldy, and others all have financial backing, but they just don't get involved openly.

Several forces in the underworld check and balance each other, but they don't care, and even intentionally let them run rampant.

But if someone can suppress all the underground forces, that is absolutely unacceptable.

"Yeah!"

"Peng!"

On stage, men and women dressed in futuristic costumes jumped and shouted incessantly.

Theatrical performances were completely unfamiliar to Zhu Ju, who came from the world of cultivation, and were full of novelty.

But as for appreciation...

But I couldn't see anything that appealed to me, so I casually asked:

What show is this?

"Legend of the Galaxy Heroes".

Cao Youche took a deep breath and explained:

"This is a story that came from other safe cities seven years ago. It has attracted countless people as soon as it was released, and there have been corresponding films, TV series and games. Now it has been adapted for the stage."

"Councilor Cao is truly knowledgeable and well-traveled." Zhu Ju bowed respectfully.
"admire!"

"I only learned a little about it," Cao Youche forced a smile.

Although he came from a humble background, he had a complex life and extensive knowledge. He was also good at planning ahead. Before coming, he had investigated the play that was showing today and learned about related content.

He thought Zhu Ju invited him to see the play because he was interested in the story and wanted to find something to talk about.

Now it seems.

The other party had no such intention at all.

"Licheng District has been in chaos lately."

Composing himself, Cao Youche said in a low voice:
“People die every day, and the neighbors who run businesses are afraid to even open their doors, for fear of getting into trouble.”

"This is not the way to go."

"When in Licheng District doesn't someone die?" Zhu Ju shook his head.
"Don't worry, it will get better in a while."

“Mr. Zhu.” Cao Youche frowned.

“Yesterday, that mad tiger from the Wang family came to the council and asked me about your situation.”

"Hmm?" Zhu Ju slowly sat up straight.
"Do you threaten me?"

Wang Family Mad Tiger.

A martial arts master from Funeng City!
This person has an eccentric personality, is insane, bloodthirsty, cruel, and vicious, yet he is also the guardian of Funeng City.

It commands both respect and awe.

If he determines that Zhu Ju's existence threatens the safety of Funeng City, then he will definitely take action.

The reason why Boss Jiao didn't dare to leave his territory was largely because he was afraid of this mad tiger.

just now.

He seems to have his eye on Zhu Ju.

"No." Cao Youche waved his hands repeatedly:
"The appearance of someone like you in the city is bound to arouse the curiosity of many people, and it's normal for them to inquire about you."

"Mr. Zhu..."

He lowered his voice and said:

"Although Boss Jiao was one of the top figures in the underground world, he didn't actually carry that much weight. After all, Jackal and the other two were just Boss Jiao's partners, not his subordinates."

"And you!"

"Not only did they take over the territory and business of the three of them, but they also made moves against other leaders. Everyone is in danger now. There are many people who don't like you or want to kill you."

"Why not stop here? Your territory is already quite large. Managing it carefully will earn you more than fighting all day long."

"Hmm..." Zhu Ju squinted:
"That makes some sense."

Cao Youche was delighted upon hearing this.

"This play is quite good." Unexpectedly, Zhu Ju's next sentence suddenly changed the subject:

"Councilor Cao, do you think that without a major catastrophe, technology would allow us to travel between stars?"

“This…” Councilor Cao hesitated for a moment, then said:
"It's probably not possible right now. Due to energy limitations, spacecraft cannot travel at a distance of light-years, and space teleportation technology is not yet perfect. However, the Martial Saint does have some opportunities."

Martial Saints possess virtually limitless physical energy and secret techniques for manipulating various powers. Coupled with their much longer lifespans compared to ordinary people, short-distance interstellar travel is not difficult for them, thanks to existing technology.

"The world is changing, and technology is developing."

Representative Cao continued:

"The Great Cataclysm turned our planet into an isolated island, and our original technology was restricted in various ways. However, it also led us to discover Source Energy Technology, and on this basis, we created Source Energy Martial Arts. Only in this way could we fight against the alien beasts and... evil gods that followed the Great Cataclysm."

Zhu Ju touched his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

Change!

The road ahead!

……

"Ok!"

A soft moan rang out from the stage.

The play reached its climax when the costumes of the male and female leads ripped open, and they embraced each other.

The men and women on stage also found their own partners and expressed their emotions.

Why must the feelings between men and women be expressed so directly?

Zhu Ju shook his head:

Does putting on clothes diminish art?

“Artistic expression should be bold,” said Councilor Cao.
"If your heart is pure, you won't care."

"..." Zhu Ju shrugged:

"Few people can understand art, and even the actors on stage probably don't all grasp the meaning of this play, but everyone knows what it means because of its straightforward and direct expression."

His spiritual power was so strong that he could even sense the thoughts of everyone present.

So he knew it very well.

Few viewers were truly absorbed in the art.

The vast majority of people are watching the passionate scenes, while a small minority, like Cao Youche, are not paying attention to them.

Ok?
An unusual aura appeared in my senses.

Zhu Ju raised an eyebrow, but before he could make a move, a bullet the size of a thumb suddenly appeared in front of him.

The golden bullet is cone-shaped with numerous tiny holes on its surface and a special gemstone embedded at the top.

Warp-type armor-piercing projectile!
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The armor-piercing projectile, exuding a terrifying aura, came into Zhu Ju's view; the warhead was clearer than ever before.

"careful!"

Councilor Cao, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth wide, but it would take some time before his voice could be heard.

Zhu Ju's eyes moved slightly.

But then a transparent light shield appeared on Cao Youche's body.

Congressman's Shield!

Federal product.

Each member of parliament wears a special medal that conceals a miniature mech.

The mech has a built-in protective force field that automatically activates when it detects danger, and can temporarily resist attacks at the level of a Martial Saint.

All things are attracted by heaven!

Zhu Ju's eyes moved again.

An invisible force burst forth from his body in an instant, distorting space and unleashing tremendous power as it pressed down on the bullet in front of him.

next moment.

"Peng!"

The moment Zhu Ju's force came into contact with the bullet, the warp-shaped armor-piercing round exploded.

The violent force instantly shattered the surrounding void several meters away into fragments.

at the same time.

Billions of viral particles transformed into smoke, rushing towards Zhu Ju's face as if they were living things.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Pull had already shattered, and the explosion of the armor-piercing bullet prevented Zhu Ju from dodging it immediately.

Ok?
His heart skipped a beat, followed by a sharp pain in his face, and his flesh and skull began to dissolve rapidly.

A physical body comparable to a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator was almost useless against those viral particles.

but……

Zhu Ju narrowed his remaining right eye slightly, and a sharp sword intent burst forth from every cell.

"Bah!"

With only half his face remaining, his body swayed slightly, and the virus particles that landed on him were completely annihilated.

"Mr. Zhu!"

Cao Youche, standing to the side, looked terrified. Before he could retract his outstretched hand, everything was over.

Zhu Ju was surrounded by chaos; only half of his head remained, and his clothes on his upper body were tattered.

He twisted his neck, slowly stood up, his skeletal jaw opened and closed slightly, and the flesh on his face visibly recovered.

“Councilor Cao is right. It seems there are quite a few people who want me dead, but those who want to kill me…”

Zhu Ju smiled coldly:

"But it's not that easy!"

"Shh!"

He lightly touched the ground with his foot, and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot, reappearing in an apartment.

A unique sniper rifle rests on a table by the apartment window, but the assassin has vanished.
