Dao Cheng Gui Xian

Chapter 374 Tracking and Ambush
"Boom!"

Li Wushou stopped and casually tossed the city lord of Cuihe New City to the ground.

The muffled thud startled the cultivators responsible for sealing off the Tangjia Village settlement. Just as they were about to demand who dared to trespass into the sealed-off area, they saw the city lord getting up from the ground.

Didn't the city lord go to Zhenhai City?
Suddenly, a possibility occurred to him, and he shivered and immediately knelt down.

This must be a big shot from Zhenhai City!

Li Wushou ignored the other party and walked into the settlement.

The houses in the town have been renovated and become quite livable, but the residents of Tangjia Village cannot enjoy them.

In Li Wushou's view, these people had already been eaten, and the remaining skins were filled with straw and casually placed in the house.

Li Wushou didn't stop walking and went straight into one of the inner rooms.

That was the house that Cuihe New City had allocated to Tommy. The house was no different from the houses of ordinary people. According to the city lord, he had originally wanted to allocate a larger mansion to Tommy, but she refused.

As I slowly entered the house, Tommy's body lay on the floor of the bedroom.

Unlike the skin of other people, Tommy's skin was somewhat dark red, and the skin at the tips of his ten fingers was quite tattered.

The floor next to the skin and the legs of the tables and chairs were covered with deep finger marks.

This indicates that Tommy experienced intense suffering while he was alive.

Blood seeped from his skin, and his ten fingers kept scratching at the ground and the legs of the tables and chairs. The city lord was right about this. This torment lasted for three whole days!

He slowly squatted down in front of Tommy's skin, reached out and stroked the other's brow, without a trace of his soul!
Even if Li Wushou wanted to convert him to the divine path, he no longer had the chance.

Very ruthless, very decisive!

After gazing at the leather bag for a moment, Li Wushou pulled out the straw from inside.

The straw was grayish-white, as if it were covered with a layer of fine dust, or as if it had been scooped out of wood ash. Li Wushou clapped his hands to brush away the dust.

A crack appeared between his brows, and he put the skin and straw into the Three Immortals Hall, where he buried it in the low hill.

Looking around the room, Li Wushou smelled a faint aura, a strange aura, like that of an immortal or a god.

Upon closer inspection, Li Wushou discovered half a black hair at each of the doors and windows, from which a strange aura emanated.

The other party used this hair to seal off the doors and windows, trapping Tommy to death.
Holding the hair in his hand, Li Wushou took out a bone incense stick and lit it.

The smoke from the incense swirled around his hair. He slightly extended his right index finger, and the wisp of smoke formed a circle around it, like a ring, encircling his finger.

The power of the primordial spirit detached from the body, enveloping the entire Emerald Valley New City under its influence.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed, Li Wushou tucked the bone incense into his shoulder and walked out of the settlement.

The city lord and the guarding cultivators waited respectfully to the side. When Li Wushou came out, the two knelt down again to pay their respects.

Li Wushou walked past the two men and continued towards the outer perimeter. A blockade line was drawn several dozen feet away, and dozens of civilians stood outside the blockade line.

Since the Azure Lotus Treasure Plant took root in the Lianyuan Mountains, the city has been full of vitality.

The residents, who had previously lost a great deal of their lifespan due to the birth of the "three-year-old baby," have regained some vitality.

Although lifespan cannot be extended, daily activities are no longer a problem.

They were grateful for the kindness of the people of Tangjia Village and were extremely thankful to them.

After news of the incident in Tangjia Village spread yesterday, they gathered here, but dared not approach due to the city lord's mansion's blockade.

But there was no result, and they were unwilling to leave.

Upon seeing Li Wushou emerge from the sealed-off area, they all knelt down in excitement.

An elderly man, kneeling in the front row, stepped forward somewhat unsteadily and bowed to Li Wushou, asking:

"May I ask, sir, have you made any progress in identifying the murderer who plotted against Fairy Tang and Tang Family Village?"

Li Wushou waved his sleeve, and everyone immediately stood up. Li Wushou slowly began to speak:

"The accomplices have been eliminated; this trip is precisely to deal with the ringleader!"

The moment he finished speaking, Li Wushou loosely clenched his fist, and a thin, pregnant woman suddenly flew to his side from the crowd. Li Wushou raised his hand and placed it on the woman's shoulder.

The woman twisted her body, trying to struggle but unable to move. Her eyes widened in fear as she gasped softly:

"Oh, sir, what's going on?"

The crowd was in an uproar, especially the man who had just been supporting the woman, who was extremely anxious.

"Quiet!"

With a soft rebuke, the entire room fell silent.

Li Wushou turned to the woman beside him and asked:

"You've got some nerve, killing someone and still daring to stay here and watch?"

Upon hearing this, the crowd became even more agitated, all believing that Li Wushou had made a mistake.

But the woman held captive by Li Wushou suddenly changed her expression. Her initial fear vanished, replaced by a strange smile. She chuckled and replied, "Li Wushou, you came faster than I expected!"

The voice was sharp and somewhat shrill, sounding unlike a human voice.

The anxious crowd was then horrified; was something really wrong with the Song family woman?

The people who had realized what was happening quickly backed away and distanced themselves from the woman's husband.

Li Wushou looked down at the woman, not bothering to beat around the bush. These bastards were indeed after him. In other words, no matter how you looked at it, Tommy died because of him!
With a sharp look in his eyes, he used his spiritual power to directly rip open the woman's abdominal cavity.

He pulled out a green-skinned, black-haired monster.

The woman's body slumped to the ground, similar to Tommy's situation, as he had also been completely devoured.

This monster had a blue face and fangs, resembling a green-skinned child covered in black hair. It was somewhat similar to the fetal pendant that Li Wushou had seen before, except that the shape of its limbs was more like that of an animal.

Even with Li Wushou gripping its neck, the monster showed no fear.

His smile twisted more and more, his eyes turned bloodshot and revealed a cruel expression, but the next moment he showed a look of astonishment.

"Want to blow yourself up?"

Li Wushou asked softly, then tightened his grip on the other man's neck slightly and whispered:
"I'll help you!"

The moment the words were spoken, the monster was crushed with a "bang".

Under the binding force of the boundary, the fragments were crushed into mud and rolled into a fleshy ball. The incense smoke passed through, and the fleshy ball withered. The smoke on Li Wushou's index finger became even more solid.

The bone incense stick tucked into his shoulder burst into flames, the smoke drifting due west.

As expected, this thing is not the real entity; no wonder it acted so recklessly.

This form is simply the result of the fetus and flesh that devoured the woman's womb; no wonder it resembles a miscarriage.

"Li Xing, calm the crowd down, and tell them not to follow us anymore."

With his back to the crowd, Li Wushou gave an order and then disappeared from the spot.

A child in the crowd scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

A golden light flashed within him, and Li Xing emerged from it. The crowd was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and cried out:
"Greetings, Water God!"

Li Wushou, having left Cuihe New City, continued his rapid journey, closely following the trail of incense smoke on his shoulders.

His figure streaked across the void like a silver rainbow, and an hour later, he was already in the Floating Life Mountain Range, a thousand miles away.

The Fusheng Mountains are located on the westernmost border of the Fubo Domain. After crossing the Fusheng Mountains, one enters the territory of Luofu City, which Luo Jun mentioned.

Luofu City is located between Fubo Domain and Fengling Path.

Although it is called a city, its territory is quite vast, bordering the Fusheng Mountains to the southwest and the Queshen Mountains to the east, covering more than a thousand miles and roughly the size of the entire Huazhou. It serves as a buffer zone between the two regions.

It falls into a category where neither side has jurisdiction, yet both sides want to manage it; Fubo Domain and Fengling Path have made numerous agreements for this purpose.

Core powers such as the Zhenhai lineage of Fubo Domain and the Que Zun lineage of Fengling Path do not directly intervene in Luofu City.

On the surface, this is the case, but in reality, both factions have secretly supported many other forces to enter the fray.

In addition, other forces in the two domains, as well as the infiltration of the cross-domain river from the central domain in the north, have made Luofu City a mixed and chaotic place.

This is not bad news for Li Wushou.

Although the agreement between the two regions is weak, one point is universally acknowledged.

That means the Grand Venerable would not easily intervene unless the Fubo Domain and the Fengling Path wanted to formally decide the ownership of Luofu City.

Therefore, Li Wushou did not hesitate and entered the Fusheng Mountain Range directly.

After traveling for a while, just as they were about to fly out of the mountains, the fragrance of bone incense stuck on their shoulder suddenly swirled in place, and then began to swirl around the bone incense.

Li Wushou paused, standing in the void.

In the desolate valley, a rather familiar voice suddenly rang out:

"Li Wushou, you've got some nerve, actually daring to chase after me?"

The sound was sharp, piercing, and unlike a human voice!

The moment he finished speaking, a gaunt figure with a huge belly appeared before Li Wushou.

The other party had more than a dozen hands on its body, each holding different pieces of flesh and blood, which it kept stuffing into its mouth.

At the same time, behind Li Wushou, another enormous creature slowly rose into the air; upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a huge gray bird.

The moment the bird appeared, its claws tore through the void, and with a flap of its wings, Li Wushou's figure completely left the Floating Life Mountain Range and entered the territory of Luofu City.

Bloodshot eyes locked onto Li Wushou, and the shrill voice rang out again:

"Hurry up and kill them. The Azure Lotus Envoy said to just bring back their heads; I want to savor the rest."
