Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

I wonder how things are going on your end?

Li Yijun covered his face as he walked out of Jiangshan Villa. He couldn't let anyone see him, or he would be mortified...

……

Inside the inn on the other side.

Li Moxuan took out a first-aid kit from the system space and treated Fan Tianyin's injuries while she was lying on the bed.

It was supposed to be treating injuries, but Li Moxuan didn't really know much about it. He only knew how to disinfect, apply medicine, bandage, and administer healing pills...

Are there spirit mediums who can act as divine healers in the underworld?

If there were any, Li Moxuan would really like to recruit one to the Imperial Physicians' Pavilion—Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, or Sun Simiao, any one of them would do, it's just a bit hard to find…

"I'm hungry..."

Jin Lingzi lay on the table, looking at Li Moxuan expectantly, "When is dinner served?"

"What a glutton..."

Li Moxuan covered Fan Tianyin with a blanket, sat down next to Jin Lingzi, and patted her head. "I've already told the manager that the food will be brought up soon!"

Jin Lingzi deserves the most credit for finding Fan Tianyin so quickly, so Li Moxuan dotes on her to some extent.

Jin Lingzi wasn't too bothered by Li Moxuan touching her head. After all, she had promised to let Li Moxuan play, and she couldn't go back on her word. Most importantly, she still had food to eat...

While stroking Jin Lingzi's head, Li Moxuan observed the room, which was the best room the innkeeper had arranged for him.

Apparently, after hearing that Li Moxuan had demolished the brothel with his guardian spirit, he refused to accept any money and begged Li Moxuan to let him have his way for free, almost kneeling down in the process...

Li Moxuan had no choice but to accept his kindness in order to put his mind at ease...

Now it seems that the room is indeed quite nice. It is spacious and has a clean private bathroom as well as two large beds, which is very convenient for Li Moxuan to accompany him.

Before Fan Tianyin's injuries improved, Li Moxuan didn't plan to rush back to the Greedy Camp; he'd treat it as a trip to relax and clear his head...

Li Moxuan stroked his chin, feeling strange. Why did he always feel like he had forgotten something important?

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the innkeeper's voice came through, "Sir, the food is ready. May I come in?"

"The door's unlocked, come in!"

The innkeeper pushed open the door and made room for the guests. "Quickly, put the dishes on the table for the adults!"

Several waiters behind him brought in dishes of fragrant food.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes, including beef hot pot, braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised pork with preserved mustard greens, shredded pork with garlic sauce, Kung Pao chicken, Mapo tofu, and more.

After they had set out the dishes, the innkeeper took a jar of fine wine from the servant. "Sir," he said, "this is our shop's prized Immortal's Brew, which we have come to present to you..."

"No, I don't drink..."

thump--

The shopkeeper knelt down skillfully. "Sir, it was my negligence that caused your friend to be so seriously injured. This is just a small token of my sympathy. Please don't refuse it..."

"Okay, okay, put it down!"

Li Moxuan really couldn't stand this guy. Did he really have to be so afraid of him?

Seeing that Li Moxuan agreed to accept it, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. That brothel was owned by General Ma, but it was demolished and he didn't dare to utter a word. This shows the power of the person in front of him.

He did this not only because he was afraid that Li Moxuan might demolish his inn if he was unhappy, but also because he wanted to make a good connection.

He put down the wine jar. "Sir, the boy who went to Jiangshan Villa with you before has returned and is asking about you. Do you think I should send him away?"

This time he learned his lesson and revealed the information about him without Li Moxuan having to ask.

Li Moxuan was stunned. Oh no, he seemed to have forgotten about Li Yijun...

"Ahem, take me to see him..."

Just as Li Moxuan stood up, Jin Lingzi tugged at her sleeve. Staring at the delicious food in front of her, she swallowed hard. "Can't we eat first?"

"You eat first, don't wait for me. If it's not enough, I'll have them bring another serving!"

Li Moxuan patted Jin Lingzi's head, followed the shopkeeper out of the room, and closed the door.

The room was on the second floor, and with Fan Tianyin and Fan Kuai guarding it, Li Moxuan could return in time if anything happened, so he wasn't too worried.

After Li Moxuan left, Jin Lingzi first wolfed down his food, then his gaze fell on the Immortal Brew. This stuff must taste delicious, right?

Chapter 140: At Least a General

"Brother, have you found your friend? How is she?"

When Li Moxuan found Li Yijun, he was drinking alone, so he simply sat down with him. The innkeeper, being quite perceptive, served him several delicious dishes.

"He got a minor injury and may need to rest for a few days..."

Li Moxuan personally poured him a drink, "Yijun, thank you so much for your help..."

"Not at all..."

Li Yijun waved his hand, "Brother, we hit it off immediately, what's a little favor like this?"

"I've heard you call me that so much that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Li Moxuan, and I'm from the Greedy Camp in Nandou Street..."

"Greedy Camp?"

Li Yijun was taken aback at first, then overjoyed. "Brother Li, are you heading back to Nandou Street? If possible, could you take me with you?"

What are you doing on Nandou Street?

"To be honest, I left Yunlei Street for Nandou Street to try and join the Greedy Camp, but I was short of money and then I saw the bounty poster on Dajiang Street..."

"May I ask, Yijun, this place is clearly closer to the Hall of Heroes, so why did you go all the way to that Greedy Camp?"

Li Moxuan naturally wanted to recruit Li Yijun, after all, he was a rare genius who had reached the seventh level of the Great Scorching Heat in the Hell Path at such a young age, and his lightning attribute was even above the standard.

However, we still need to figure out his intentions...

Li Yijun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Li, I see that you are also a righteous person, so I'll ask you, what do you think of the underworld today?"

Li Moxuan was stunned for a moment. Wait, shouldn't this be his line? Why is Tiangang asking him this instead?

He tentatively replied, "It's very chaotic?"

"It's more than just chaos!"

Li Yijun was furious. "Brother Li, you have no idea how many Soul Guardians are unworthy of their positions. They treat Soul Guardian Street as their private territory and do whatever they want there!"

"The more powerful Soul Guardians directly became local tyrants, exploiting the undead every day and treating them as slaves!"

"And the weaker Soul Guardians have even colluded with evil spirits to oppress the dead, completely betraying their original purpose of becoming Soul Guardians!"

Li Moxuan nodded thoughtfully; this situation was quite common in the underworld.

With the help of guardian spirits, and assuming no high-level evil spirits are encountered, the Soul Guardian is practically a superhuman in Soul Town.

Many of the Guardians of Souls were initially superheroes protecting justice when they first arrived in Soul Town, but by the second day they had become Homelander, and by the third day they had stopped eating beef...

This situation was even written into Lu Shuyu's work, where Lu Tianyou is portrayed as a scoundrel who colludes with evil spirits.

Xiao Rou is a typical example of the oppressed spirits. The scene where she becomes an evil spirit due to despair and dies at Yu Jin's hands has become a source of regret for countless people.

Lu Shuyu's original intention was to resonate with the Soul Guardians who were making a living in the human world through these stories, and to awaken the conscience deep within those scoundrels.

But an idiot is an idiot, how could he change because of a single work?

However, it wasn't entirely useless; at least it infuriated some upright Soul Guardians...

"Brother Li, do you know how piercing the despair in the eyes of those dead is? How helpless it is to see a dead person you barely managed to save deteriorate in despair?"

While pouring himself a drink, Li Yijun lamented, "Those spirits are all transformed from humans after they die, and guardian spirits are another kind of spirit. We are all compatriots, so why do this?"

"Yijun, Zhenhun Street is a place where the strong prey on the weak..."

Li Yijun paused for a moment, then sighed, "That's right, in some Soul Towns, even gentleness has become a sin..."

Li Moxuan glanced at him. Could this kid be a fan of Lu Shuyu?

"I'm sorry, Brother Li, I got a little drunk and started to ramble..."

Li Yijun smiled awkwardly, "The reason I don't join the Hall of Heroes is because I have two friends whose intelligence can easily surpass mine."

"They asserted that Xiang Kunlun of the Hall of Heroes would eventually rebel, but he could not bring stability to the underworld. He was good as a general leading troops into battle, but he would be a long shot as a king."

"If he were to unify the Underworld in the future, it would only become more chaotic. A king who cannot govern the world cannot hold that position for long..."

"As for Tanlang of the Tanzi Camp, since there is very little information about him, my two friends dare not make any definitive statements."

"However, Tanlang was able to subdue the renowned Emperor Slayer Diao Lingyun, and he also had the approval of many Tang generals' spirit mediums, so they still felt that Tanlang was more intelligent than Xiang Kunlun..."

"Of course, since there are many spirit mediums from the Tang Dynasty here, I feel a sense of kinship with them, so I'm more inclined to join the Greedy Camp and want to see what kind of person Greedy Wolf is..."

Li Moxuan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Yijun, your guardian spirit is Li Siye. Are you his descendant?"

He recalled what Li Shimin had told him. Could the person before him be one of the other descendants of the Li Tang dynasty that Li Shimin had mentioned?

"No! I am a descendant of Li Shimin..."

Li Yijun made a casual remark, seemingly not valuing this identity much...

Sure enough... it turns out that Li Shimin sensed that there were descendants of the Li Tang dynasty nearby, which is why he pulled me in to talk.

"May I ask, Yijun, what are the names of your two friends?"

"Brother Li, it's alright to tell you. One of them is named Fang Wencheng, and the other is named Du Shuze..."

This... must be the spirit medium of Fang Mou Du Duan, right?

Li Moxuan stared intently into Li Yijun's eyes and tentatively asked, "Yijun, since you are dissatisfied with the status quo in the Underworld, have they been urging you to rebel like Xiang Kunlun?"

Li Yijun was taken aback. "Xiang Kunlun rebelled? When did that happen?"

"Just recently..."

"Oh... a rebellion, they did have that idea before, but they quickly gave up..."

"why?"

"I don't know either..."

Li Yijun scratched his head. "Wencheng said I'm too impulsive, not steady enough, lack a sense of the big picture, and can't bring myself to be ruthless..."
