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

"Liu Yuchan didn't pay you your salaries?"

Li Moxuan naturally knew about the situation in Shuiyun Street; he was only asking this question to test Fan Tianyin's attitude towards Liu Yuchan.

But Fan Tianyin was a little confused by his question, "Why does he need to pay a salary?"

"He's not..."

Li Moxuan paused, realizing that he seemed to have misunderstood the relationship between Fan Tianyin and the others and Liu Yuchan.

Their relationship is not like that of Bei Luoshimen, Yan Fengzha and Cao Yanbing; on the contrary, it is more like that of Yang Luoqi, Li Gucheng and others and Xiang Kunlun.

They guarded Shuiyun Street together. Since Liu Yuchan was the strongest, he usually took the lead in everything, but that did not mean they were Liu Yuchan's people.

If Liu Yuchan's thoughts and actions deviate from their principles, they will also choose to leave; at least, it seems that Fan Tianyin is currently doing so.

So, the chances of successfully poaching him are not small. Liu Yuchan is already standing opposite him, so he won't feel any psychological burden.

"I was overthinking it..."

Li Moxuan chuckled softly, secretly plotting how to poach his client...

"Actually, Liu Yuchan did have this idea..."

Fan Tianyin pursed her lips. "He's the most successful one among us. He's a famous musician in the human world and earns a lot of money."

"He once suggested that he would cover all our living expenses, and we would just need to guard Shuiyun Street and not have to worry about making a living..."

She picked up her teacup and took a sip. "Han Yuanqing and Zhuge Yixin both agreed, but I declined his offer..."

He paused, then continued, "Protecting Shuiyun Street is our duty, and I don't want to owe him anything..."

This is why Zhuge Yixin and Han Yuanqing are still safely staying in Shuiyun Street, while she traveled all the way to Dajiang Street alone...

After hearing her words, Li Moxuan admired her even more. He liked people with principles like her, not to mention that she was a junior he had mentored.

"Sir/Madam, your food is here!"

The waiter brought the dishes Li Moxuan had ordered to the table. "Please enjoy your meal!"

"Um……"

Li Moxuan handed Fan Tianyin a bowl and chopsticks, "You probably haven't had dinner yet, right? If you don't mind, let's eat together!"

He had just noticed Fan Tianyin haggling with the shopkeeper; this girl must be living on a tight budget...

"Of course I don't mind..."

Fan Tianyin did not refuse Li Moxuan's kindness. She had rushed over and hadn't eaten much all day.

She took the bowl and chopsticks, smiling broadly, "But I'll return them to you. Once I take down that cannibal, I'll be rich too!"

"Ogre?"

Li Moxuan paused in his chopsticks, looking at Fan Tianyin with a hint of confusion, "What cannibal?"

Could it be that she knows something related to her mission?

"Huh? You didn't know?"

Fan Tianyin pulled out a crumpled wanted poster and handed it to Li Moxuan, "This is a wanted poster issued by the Soul Guardian of Dajiang Street..."

Li Moxuan took the bounty poster and glanced at it.

[Bounty Notice]

In recent years, all the successive guardians of Dajiang Street have met untimely deaths, and when they were found, only their bones and limbs remained. It seems that a cannibal is hiding in Dajiang Street. I am Ma Linghai, the new guardian of Dajiang Street. I was recently persecuted by him and escaped death. However, I am too weak to defeat him. I fear that he will harm me in the future. Therefore, I have given away all my wealth to recruit brave warriors to eliminate this cannibal.

[Bounty: 100,000 gold coins]

[Additional Warning: This cannibal is cunning and ferocious, and is accustomed to hiding in the shadows. Those who receive orders should proceed with extreme caution.]

The bounty poster also included a portrait of a monster, depicting a tall, imposing creature with flowing black hair, two horns on its head, dark red eyes, and limbs lying on the ground, resembling a jackal.

The person in this portrait... doesn't he look a bit like Yan Fengzha after he became demonized in the "what if" scenario?

Could it be that Yan Fengzha from the "what if" scenario traveled through the space-time rift created by the Four Divine Pearls and ended up here?

Could Xia Ling, who lost her guardian spirit, and Cao Cao, who successfully possessed Cao Yanbing, also be there?

Probably not... otherwise the underworld would be in chaos...

Li Moxuan secretly took note and returned the bounty poster to Fan Tianyin, "Is this why you came here?"

"Yup!"

Once this task is completed, I can stay peacefully in Shuiyun Street, no longer having to struggle to make a living...

Starving, Fan Tianyin ate her food and mumbled, "You didn't come here for this too, did you?"

"Maybe?"

Li Moxuan wasn't sure if the cannibal on the bounty poster was the same cannibal in the system mission, so he started trying to poach people from his own company.

"Tianyin, are you interested in joining the Greedy Camp? With your abilities, you'd be more than qualified to be a cadre!"

"Forget it..."

Fan Tianyin politely declined Li Moxuan's offer, saying, "Even someone like you can't become a cadre, so the Corruption Battalion probably isn't much better..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, I quite like staying on Shuiyun Street now. It's peaceful and quiet, and the simple life is quite nice..."

At this point, she looked at Li Moxuan expectantly, "Li Moxuan, why don't you come to Shuiyun Street?"

“Shuiyun Street values ​​strength above all else. Your strength and talent will certainly not be overlooked. Besides… if we’re together, we can support each other…”

When she said the last sentence, Fan Tianyin's ears turned slightly red, but Li Moxuan didn't notice because of the dim lighting.

"never mind……"

Li Moxuan shook his head. As the leader of the Greedy Camp, it was impossible for him to leave.

He originally wanted to tell Fan Tianyin that he was Tanlang, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

Since this girl likes a simple and peaceful life, there's no need for me to force her into the conflicts of the underworld. Let her live the life she wants!

Fan Tianyin's eyes dimmed slightly, but she quickly recovered and her face was full of smiles again. She poured two cups of tea, handed one to Li Moxuan, and picked up another for herself.

"Alright, I'll drink tea instead of wine and wish you all the best in achieving your dreams and making a name for yourself in the underworld!"

Thank you for your kind words!

Chapter 132: A Delusional Attempt to Harm the Crown Prince of the Great Tang Dynasty

After clinking glasses, the two drank their tea in one gulp, and then began to chat and eat.

Fan Tianyin told Li Moxuan about the interesting things that happened on Dead Soul Island with a smile on her face, and Li Moxuan listened attentively.

He really enjoys listening to gossip, especially since it includes quite a bit of dark history about Cao Yanbing and Liu Yuchan...

Just then, a figure draped in a black robe entered the inn, and Li Moxuan subconsciously turned around to look.

The man in black robes glanced at Li Moxuan, then froze instantly. Without thinking further, he hurriedly left the inn.

Li Moxuan put down his chopsticks and bowl. "Tianyin, I have some things to take care of. You can eat by yourself!"

Do you need my help?

"No need, I can handle it..."

"Then be careful..."

Fan Tianyin didn't ask too many questions, but she gave Li Moxuan some instructions out of concern. Then she saw Li Moxuan walk to the shopkeeper, leave some gold coins, say a few words, and then leave.

The woman in black ran very fast, and Li Moxuan caught up with her at a lake in the woods outside Dajiang Street.

Li Moxuan, carrying the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd, stepped forward. "Camilla, why are you running so fast? I'm not going to eat you..."

The woman in black robes pulled down her hood, revealing herself to be Camilla, the former tenth knight of the Kingdom Organization. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Why are you following me?"

"Because you are a potential threat..."

Li Moxuan didn't bother beating around the bush with her. "Are you going to kill yourself, or should I send you on your way?"

"Don't look down on me, Kuraken!"

With a loud shout, Kemira caused a huge wave to surge up in the lake behind her, from which several of Kurakan's enormous tentacles emerged and slammed towards Li Moxuan.

A flash of light, and the tentacles were instantly severed, falling to the ground...

Wang Zhongsi stood beside Li Moxuan, the Tang-style sword in his hand gleaming coldly. "A mere octopus dares to presume to harm the Crown Prince of my Great Tang?"

On Li Moxuan's other side, Su Dingfang, wielding the Nine Nether Soul-Severing Spear, stood ready for battle. "The enemy is hiding in the lake; they're probably not easy to deal with..."

"Then let's evaporate the lake!"

Wang Zhongsi's eyes narrowed, and the Tang-style horizontal sword in his hand glowed red as he slammed it into the ground. "Blazing Furnace!"

Tang Hengdao's sword seemed to be glowing red-hot, radiating intense heat, while the surrounding ground felt as if it were being roasted over a fire, the temperature rising rapidly, and steam began to rise from the lake...

Because their powers originated from the same source, Li Moxuan and Su Dingfang were not affected, while Camilla could clearly sense that the air was starting to get hot.

Although the boiling lake water wouldn't have much of an impact on Kraken, once the lake water evaporated completely, Camilla knew that Li Moxuan wouldn't give her the chance to let Kraken enter its demon form.

"Kuraken, stop him!"

Kurakon emerged from the lake, its regenerated tentacles bursting forth from the water vapor and slapping towards Wang Zhongsi.

"The Black Tortoise Divine Wall!"

Accompanied by the phantom of Xuanwu, a massive spiritual energy barrier blocked Kuraken's tentacles, and Su Dingfang sprinted and leaped up, landing right on top of Kuraken's head.

"Fire-forged spear!"

Su Dingfang thrust the Nine Nether Soul-Severing Spear fiercely into the top of Kurakan's head. Kurakan felt the pain and stretched out its tentacles to strike Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang drew the Nine Nether Soul-Severing Spear, flames erupting from its shaft. He swung it swiftly, and in less than half a minute, all of Kurakan's tentacles were severed and fell into the lake.

Kurakan plunged directly into the lake, intending to take Su Dingfang with him. Su Dingfang saw through his plan and returned to shore in time.

The lake was now boiling, and the surrounding area was like a high-temperature furnace, with even the trees on fire. Camilla could only rely on her spiritual power to protect herself and endure the heat.

She panicked a little. "Kuraken, take them down!"

However, Kurakan did not respond to her. It found its body temperature rising sharply and its moisture evaporating—it was from that guy's gun...

Kurakan is using his spiritual power to resist the effects of Su Dingfang, otherwise he'll turn into a dried octopus...
