Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 107 - 88: City Destruction

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Yuan is merely an Eighth Grade, still lacking significantly compared to Zhao Chunxin, and in recent months, he has become obsessed with taming demons, neglecting his sword skills.

Yet, who would know that Li Yuan was the real summit?

Li Yuan decided not to hide anymore, no matter how one looks at it, he truly possessed the power to dominate Shanbao County.

Since this is the case, he can reasonably enhance his Gou Points.

After a while, a carriage stopped in front of Residence No. 38.

In the carriage, Lady Yan, the landlady, and the little girl Niannian, who was already familiar with the place, all alighted.

"Husband, you seem different today." Lady Yan was very attentive.

"How am I different?"

"I feel like you’re quite happy."

"Did I...smile?"

"You didn’t smile, but I know you. I can tell if you’re happy or not just by standing next to you."

"Is that so?" Li Yuan laughed.

Lady Yan thought for a moment and said, "Moreover, you never carried your blade when you came to pick us up before..."

She stepped closer, tiptoeing to look at Li Yuan and whispered, "Did you have a breakthrough?"

Li Yuan said, "That’s not easy. I just realized a small technique."

"Oh..."

Lady Yan responded softly.

As they were talking, the landlady, with the maids, had already set the dinner on the table, calling out with a full sense of life, "Dinner’s ready! Dinner’s ready!"

Li Yuan responded, "Coming."

...

The night deepened, and the autumn rain continued unabated.

Inside, the games and surging gradually subsided, leaving only the tired breathing, as if the night would pass just like this.

But suddenly, the urgent sound of horse hooves like dense drumbeats could be heard from outside.

The Inner City forbids opening the gates at night.

But the owner of the horse dismounted quickly, wearing a conical hat, and shouted urgently in the cool rain, "Something’s happened, something’s happened, open the gate quickly!!"

However, the gatekeeper remained indifferent, coldly watching the person in the rain and, after a long time, someone went to report.

Soon after...Elder Liu, who managed internal affairs, arrived.

Not long after...Elder Liu opened the city gate and led the person into the city, directly taking them to see the Sect Leader.

Tie Sha got up immediately upon hearing about the matter.

Then, Elder Liu began conducting a house-to-house "inspection" with people.

This inspection revealed that many Inner City disciples were not present.

Some of these Inner City disciples were running martial arts schools, but many were expected to return to their residences, such as Fang Chengbao of the Fang Brothers.

After breaking through to Eighth Grade, Fang Chengbao had been rigorously cultivating in the Inner City, hoping to soon advance his Eighth Grade skills in order to truly consolidate his realm.

Yet Fang Chengbao was also absent tonight.

When Elder Liu reached Residence No. 38, a maid reported to Li Yuan, who then gently moved the hands and legs of the two women off his body, put on long pants, strapped on the Horse-Cutting Blade, and quickly went out.

Outside the door stood a woman with a ruthless and harsh demeanor, wearing a profound robe with white edges, holding a lantern—it was Elder Liu.

Upon seeing Li Yuan, Elder Liu nodded and was about to leave.

Li Yuan asked curiously, "Elder Liu, what has happened?"

Elder Liu replied, "Nothing much... just be careful these days, avoid going to unfamiliar places."

Li Yuan frowned slightly and watched her disappear into the heavy rain. After a moment of contemplation, he quickly turned around, ran to the ant nest in the courtyard, picked up three ants, and established a "Divine Soul Connection" with them.

Having done this, he swiftly exited again, took the oil paper umbrella handed over by the maid at the door, opened it, and ran into the heavy rain, quickly catching up with Elder Liu.

Elder Liu turned around when she heard the noise, saw Li Yuan running over, and asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Elder Liu, what exactly happened? I feel a bit uneasy..."

Knowing he was a genius in the sect, recently focused on demon taming, Elder Liu had a better attitude towards him and said, "It might be some foreign invaders. Just stay in the Inner City and tame demons in peace. As for the rest...Sect Leader Tie and I will handle it.

Once the situation is resolved, you’ll all be informed."

"Alright..." Li Yuan didn’t press further.

Yet, as Elder Liu turned away, he secretly flicked the three ants onto her pants and then departed.

Returning to his room, he took off his pants and climbed into bed.

The two women, seeing their man return, cuddled up again and snuggled against him to sleep.

Li Yuan’s body was warmly embraced, yet he was not in the mood for sleep.

He closed his eyes, but at the ants’ location, he opened them again.

...

Scenes flashed by...

The ground was muddy with flowing water.

Inspections from house to house.

Finally, it returned to the Blood Fury Hall.

Elder Liu had just entered the Blood Fury Hall when an ant suddenly fell from his pant leg, quietly hiding in the corner of the threshold while two more followed him.

Through the ants, Li Yuan saw Tie Sha, Elder Liu, and Elder Tian, who watched over the Meat Field, sitting inside the Blood Fury Hall.

In addition, there were four unique individuals of varying stature, and an elderly man with white hair yet youthful features hidden in the shadows. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Elder Liu’s voice rang out.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, besides Li Yuan, Zhao Chunxin, and You Zhongyu, all the inner sect disciples haven’t returned, including Fang Chengbao."

"Are you saying that as many as seventeen people are missing?"

"It should be sixteen; according to one family, someone didn’t return from outside the city."

Bang!!

A thunderous sound of a heavy slap on the table echoed.

"Pigs!! Are they all stupid pigs!!" Tie Sha roared, and then he held the letter in his hand, his face dark as water.

The envelope had one line written on it: Sect Leader Tie, do you want your disciples back? If so, leave Shanbao County from the north gate by chenshi, and reach the South Mountain foot of Shuidiao Mountain. Otherwise...

A blood-colored ’X’ appeared at the end.

Chenshi is before dawn.

There was not much time left.

The Inner City disciples totaled only thirty; ten set up martial arts schools in the Wei Family’s Three Halls, and the remaining twenty resided permanently in the Inner City.

These twenty are all eighth grade, representing the Blood Saber Sect’s new rising force; Tie Sha cannot neglect them.

At this time, holding the letter, he said in a deep voice, "I want to know why Li Yuan, Zhao Chunxin, and You Zhongyu haven’t disappeared?"

After saying this, he began to analyze, "You Zhongyu... I know, he’s too weak, both in strength and character. These days he’s often secluded in his house, focused hard on cultivation, rarely going out. For him... I understand.

Li Yuan... this kid always turns danger into safety, no surprise there!

Zhao Chunxin, she stays close to Li Yuan, could it be she’s benefiting from Li Yuan’s luck?"

Da da da...

Tie Sha tapped the wooden table, suddenly asking, "Has Li Yuan recently given Zhao Chunxin eighth grade demon beast meat?"

Immediately, the short man who earlier claimed to be Ah San stepped out and said, "He has."

Tie Sha closed his eyes, then opened them, slowly uttering two words: "Dark Workshop."

Elder Tian asked in surprise, "What dark workshop?"

Tie Sha said, "A place selling eighth grade demon beast meat, outside the county. Initially, we investigated it, but everything was normal, so we didn’t pay attention anymore... It should be this place."

He suddenly stood up and said, "Elder Ding, Ah Da, Ah Er, Ah San, Ah Si, come with me for a trip.

Old Liu, Old Tian, you take care of the Inner City."

Elder Tian said, "Sect Leader, rest assured, the Inner City is impregnable, nothing will happen."

"Good!"

Tie Sha flicked his robe, heading out into the wind and rain, the air around him filled with the spirit of warfare, "I must see who wants to mess with me!"

...

...

Outside the Inner City, in the desolate autumn forest, a small man with fierce eyes was wearing a conical hat and cloaked in a raincoat hiding in the dark. He was Gongshu Yang, formerly a great enemy of the Wei Family, now a Tributor to the Blood Saber Sect and once purchased eighth grade demon beast meat in the Dark Workshop.

And behind Gongshu Yang, a large group of people were ambushed.

Gongshu Yang coldly stared into the distance at the Inner City.

He waited a long time for this day, and for this day... the third Miss of the Wei Family and many of the Wei family children had sacrificed their lives, all to help him better enter the Blood Saber Sect.

...

In the woods outside Silver Creek Square, there were more people quietly lurking, among them was that Elder Sun whom Tie Sha had intercepted...

However, within this group of lurking people, Elder Sun was not standing at the forefront, indicating that there was someone stronger present.

The one in the front, wearing a conical hat, spoke in a hoarse voice, secretly issuing orders: "At the break of dawn, enter Silver Creek.

Upon seeing the signal, attack the Inner City.

The Gongshu Association will blockade the Demon Breeding Pavilion and Puppet Room first.

We just need to kill all resisters, and then close the city gates and slowly eradicate them.

Brothers of the Wei family, your day of revenge has come, all the women in the Blood Saber Sect’s Inner City are yours!"

"Patriarch Sun is so righteously generous! From now on, our Wei Family will honor the Sun Family as supreme!" In the darkness, a man’s voice hid bloodlust, then calmed down, beginning to wait silently.
