Chapter 211: On This Trip to Hell, I Become an Evil Cultivator
Right now, Li Mu was at the Profound Rank First Grade.
He had to kill creatures above the Profound Rank to gain Triumph Points and Destiny Spirit Crystals.
There were probably quite a few martial artists above the Profound Rank in Eden’s parks.
Earning Triumph Points there should be even more convenient than in the Abyss.
However, Li Mu still had to consider whether there were Earth Rank experts in that place.
Should he make a trip to Bloodsea Military District to find Luo Dongyun and borrow the Heaven-Shaking Compass again?
That old fellow was truly petty. After Li Mu returned from the Divine Elephant border last time, Luo Dongyun had taken the Heaven-Shaking Compass back.
Just then, Li Mu’s phone rang again.
Li Mu thought it was still Bai Shouheng.
But unexpectedly, the caller ID showed “Mr. Liao.”
Old Shui’s black-robed disciple.
“Tiger Marquis Li, Teacher is looking for you.”
Immediately afterward, Old Shui’s deep voice came from the other side.
“Little Li, have you seen the matter involving the Demon-Human Nation?”
Li Mu’s thoughts stirred.
“I know about it. Old Shui, the Demon-Human Nation should only be a transfer station in this matter.”
“According to the information the Swordbearers Hall gave me, the true gathering place for the missing people should be in Eden.”
Old Shui’s voice became filled with coldness.
“I know!”
“Did the Liang Family not produce an Earth Rank yesterday? Tell him to guard Linyuan City well.”
“Come with me to Eden’s parks and the Demon-Human Nation.”
Li Mu was immediately overjoyed.
“Are you going to take action yourself?”
Old Shui sighed softly.
“I failed to discover Zong Hongsheng’s matter early enough.”
“I cannot miss this one as well.”
Li Mu did not ask anything further.
Whenever it involved imprisoning and torturing people, Old Shui always had a special response.
“Understood! I will make the arrangements and go find you.”
Li Mu hung up with a smile.
First, he told Wang Yinhuan.
Then he called Liang Tianqiong.
Only then did he leap onto his Somersault Cloud and fly directly above the sea.
When he reached the area near Old Shui’s Water Residence, Li Mu could see from afar that Old Shui was floating above the surface of the water.
Beside Old Shui floated the water-blue coffin of his wife.
Although Old Shui’s wife had already recovered her beautiful, fair appearance, she was ultimately still a corpse. Li Mu still found it somewhat eerie.
“Old Shui, are you bringing the Water Coffin with you?”
“Naturally.”
The black-robed man beside him explained excitedly, “Tiger Marquis Li, ever since Mistress’s remains recovered their appearance last time, Teacher’s thoughts have become clear and unblocked, and he has already made a breakthrough!”
“This Water Coffin has already become the core of Teacher’s drawn territory.”
Li Mu’s eyes immediately lit up.
He asked excitedly, “Old Shui! Is that true?”
Old Shui smiled without speaking.
That counted as a silent admission.
The core of his drawn territory.
In other words, Old Shui was no longer limited by the Earth Rank restriction where leaving his own drawn territory and entering another person’s drawn territory would weaken him.
His drawn territory could now move.
Wherever the Water Coffin was, that was Old Shui’s territory.
No wonder Old Shui was so confident about going to Eden and the Demon-Human Nation.
Even if they truly had Earth Rank experts, Old Shui had nothing to fear.
Li Mu had never asked about Old Shui’s exact realm.
But yesterday, when Liang Tianqiong broke through to the Earth Rank First Grade, Li Mu had felt that aura.
Compared with Old Shui, it was still not on the same level.
So Li Mu estimated that Old Shui was at least above the Earth Rank Third Grade.
“Let us go!”
Old Shui then looked toward Eden’s direction.
His gaze sharpened, and killing intent surged all over his body.
“If the place we go to is truly purgatory...”
“Then today, this old man shall become an Evil Cultivator as well!”
After speaking, Old Shui carried the Water Coffin and flew over the water.
Wherever he passed, the surface of the sea seemed to be sliced open by a sharp sword, leaving behind a trench in the water.
Li Mu was unwilling to fall behind. He fully urged the Somersault Cloud and chased after him.
Mr. Liao remained in place, watching the two leave with envy.
Flying from here to Eden was beyond his ability.
Aside from his Earth Rank teacher, only Li Mu could do it.
He had been left here to deal with any sudden situations and to report to Old Shui if needed.
The two of them flew one ahead and one behind, like two missiles skimming over the water’s surface, stirring up enormous waves and mist.
Li Mu’s Somersault Cloud had no consumption. If he relied on himself, he might not be able to fly this fast.
But Old Shui was relying purely on his own strength. His physical body broke through the sound barrier as if it were brushed by a gentle breeze.
With both hands behind his back and the bearing of an immortal, every time his True Qi surged, he instantly pulled far ahead of Li Mu.
At the same time...
On a passenger ship in the Demon-Human Nation’s waters...
Cheng Yue sat in the cabin, looking at the coastline growing farther and farther away. The wariness in his eyes gradually relaxed.
Sitting across from him was a familiar Huaxia face.
Several people held recording equipment.
The atmosphere was rather relaxed.
One person held a microphone and asked, “Mr. Cheng, the people of Linyuan City are all concerned about your safety.”
“You will be home soon. Could you first report your safety to everyone through the camera?”
Cheng Yue let out a long breath, clenched his hand, and then loosened it.
He smiled somewhat embarrassedly.
“Sorry. I am still a little nervous.”
“I truly did not expect to encounter something so terrifying after coming out this time.”
“Terrifying? What happened during the time you were missing?”
The person holding the microphone asked with concern.
Cheng Yue’s eyes suddenly filled with fear, and he shook his head in resistance.
“No... There is no need to mention it again.”
The questioner guided him patiently.
“We understand that Mr. Cheng must have experienced something terrible.”
“We are only concerned about your safety.”
“We want to know everything you experienced.”
Cheng Yue felt a trace of warmth and mustered his courage.
“All I can say is that I was lucky.”
“In that room, there were dozens of others like me.”
“I do not know how many people were in the entire building.”
“I only hope they can also...”
At this point, Cheng Yue suddenly felt the atmosphere in the cabin quiet down.
He raised his head in confusion.
The questioner, who had been full of concern just moments ago, now had a smile that was gradually disappearing.
It even began to turn somewhat ferocious.
He abruptly stood up and smashed the microphone viciously into Cheng Yue’s face.
The tremendous force caused the microphone to explode into pieces.
The questioner shouted something in the Demon-Human Language toward the inside of the cabin.
With a clatter, the cabin door opened.
The Law Enforcement Officers who had previously escorted Cheng Yue walked in with sinister expressions.
“Ah!”
“Ahhh!”
Cheng Yue let out a despairing scream. At this moment, his fear reached its peak.
He had already realized something.
He should not have spoken so carelessly just now.
Before he left the Demon-Human Nation, the torture the Demon-Human Nation had inflicted on him had been even worse than what he suffered in Eden’s parks.
It had all been to brainwash him and make him absolutely not speak nonsense after he returned.
Otherwise, even across thousands of mountains and rivers, they would find him and kill him.
This was not a ship returning home at all.
It was a test.
As expected, what followed was a brutal beating.
Cheng Yue felt half of his body go numb from the blows.
The ship had clearly turned around as well.
As expected, it soon docked again.
It was still the same coast from which they had departed in the Demon-Human Nation.
The Demon-Human Nation Law Enforcement Officer nearly dragged Cheng Yue off the ship by the hair.
He shoved Cheng Yue directly into a car.
Then he sat in the passenger seat.
With a bang, the car door closed.
He turned his head and glared at Cheng Yue with extreme viciousness.
“I gave you a chance!”
“Now I will send you back to the park. Before you die, you will experience pain beyond anything you can imagine.”
Cheng Yue broke down and cried.
“No! I beg you! Please do not!”
“I will not say anything. I will not say anything at all!”
“If you kill me, there is no way you can explain it to our country!”
The Law Enforcement Officer sneered.
“Your country? I would rather let them suspect something than let you go back alive.”
“In any case, they will forget about this matter very soon.”
“After some time passes, those idiots will still deliver themselves to our door!”
