Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 843 - 423: Hey Friend, Have You Heard of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion?_2

To avoid causing trouble for Zhang Ze, Li instinctively dug through the ground with everyone, escaping to this place. By a stroke of luck, they ended up here, and unsurprisingly, confronted the deep green Firefly Spirits trapped here.

Li, as expected of the Dragon King's Juice, became enraged and, relying on its thick skin, endured the attacks while brainwashing all the deep green Firefly Spirits to become part of its God Li Expedition Army.

Then, feeling a connection with Zhang Ze, it sensed he was in danger...

"I initially planned to build high walls here, stockpile grains, and gradually build up my power, preparing for a long-term standoff in the rear, but I didn't expect that you encountered danger.

"If it hadn't been for my intervention and leading the whole army to get you out of there, you would probably have been possessed by that ghost, losing your mind. Instead of thanking me, you knocked on my head.

"How sad."

Li pouted, looking as if it wouldn't be appeased without being fed.

Zhang Ze sighed, remaining silent for a while before speaking.

"Do you know who the 'ghost' you shattered into oblivion was?"

"Who? The lingering souls residing here? Or the ghosts released by those cabbage spirits?" Li replied.

Zhang Ze pointed to the sky, "Sect Leader, you shattered the virtual image of our Sword Sect's Sect Leader's grand elder."

Li said, "Who?"

Zhang Ze replied, "Sect Leader."

As it processed the words "Sect Leader," Li's yellowish little face began to turn pale, "How... how could the grand elder be here? Will I be buried alive in the Sword Tomb when I return home?"

"No, the grand elder is unaware of this."

Zhang Ze wanted to scare Li a bit but decided against it, thinking that God Li had good intentions and for its well-being, it was better not to scare it.

He briefly explained what had just happened in the pyramid.

As Li listened, its face was constantly changing colors, showing surprise and occasionally worry, until finally, it held its little tail, looking remorseful.

"So I caused trouble again?"

"Not really trouble; you were just concerned about me. Why would I blame you?"

Zhang Ze picked up Li, rubbing its small head, "In any case, we need to think of a way to get back to the pyramid first. Whether it's to rescue Senior Brother Shi or to leave this place, the solution likely lies there."

Holding Li, Zhang Ze found a place to sit down, preparing to think of a plan, but for some reason, felt uncomfortable.

Looking up, he realized the source of discomfort was the gaze from the Dragon King soldiers.

They were all staring straight at him, or more accurately, at Li in his arms.

Looking at the cultivators and Firefly Spirits sitting cross-legged around him under Li's command, Zhang Ze sighed, thinking about what kind of situation this was.

Avoiding the direct gaze of the Firefly Spirits, Zhang Ze couldn't help but tap Li's head again, "How did you brainwash them? You can even do that?"

"The book taught me," Li replied.

"The book? Which book?"

Zhang Ze didn't remember writing any guide on multi-level marketing nonsense.

"Um... it's that one." Li rummaged through its strangely named Magical Artifact but didn't find anything, then looked towards Brother Monkey, discovering the book in his hand.

Brother Monkey and Da Tou Cai were reading it with great interest. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Zhang Ze said, "Let me take a look."

"Here." Da Tou Cai used a vine to pass the book over.

Zhang Ze took it, and after seeing the title on the cover, he was momentarily stunned.

"Hmm."

The cover boldly displayed several large words.

"Heaven-Blasting Gang's East Continent Development Guide"

As the saying goes, where there is the Heaven-Blasting Gang, there's Liu Lili. Without much thought, Zhang Ze immediately assumed this was another mischief by Lili.

Truly a schemer that never gives up.

Opening the guide, Zhang Ze casually flipped through, wanting to see Lili's evil plans, but the more he read, the more it seemed off.

He had an uncanny feeling of familiarity with the book.

Despite the changes, he felt that he had seen its contents before.

He flipped back to the cover, rubbed the book's cover, and soon peeled away the adhesive carefully, revealing the true title of the book.

Zhang Ze said, "?"

The big words shone brightly, "Hundred Demons Sect East Continent Development Strategy"

It was a contraband item seized during the previous anti-crime campaign.

What's the meaning of this? Did the Hundred Demons Sect undergo Rebirth in Filth in Lili's hands?

Damn it, no wonder it felt familiar. What the heck is Lili trying to pull?

"Did you get this from Lili?" Zhang Ze looked at Li.

But unexpectedly, Li shook its head, "No, I borrowed it from Fuji, don't remember which one exactly, but they all seem to have a copy."

Saying this, Li pointed to the blue adhesive sticking to the pages, signaling Zhang Ze to smell it.

Zhang Ze leaned in to sniff, indeed it had Fuji's scent.

'So it was Fuji's... well, actually, no way!'

If it truly belonged to Fuji, then it seemed even more suspicious.

Why would Fuji want such a thing? And since when did she start involving herself with military strategies?

Once we leave, I need to inquire thoroughly.

However...

Looking at the contraband in his hand and then at the deep green Firefly Spirits sitting on the ground, Zhang Ze suddenly had an idea.

...

Half a two-hour later.

Zhang Ze, alone, carried a cloth bag, strolling down the street with his hands behind his back. At this time, the street was empty, and all the white Firefly Spirits had retreated to the vicinity of the pyramid.

The cubic angels floated above the pyramid, scanning everything within a one-mile radius of the pyramid with their senses.

As Zhang Ze crossed the invisible boundary line, the white cubic 'gazed' in his direction.
