CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 232 ACCOMPANIMENT_2

"Sister Thirteen, since you’ve decided to join the trial, there’s no difference between dying by an outsider’s hands and mine. However, it’s just that I don’t care. If the other brothers and sisters decide to pursue this matter, then you’ll have to fend for yourself."

Indeed, it was because of the Li Family trial that these direct descendants of the Li Family are now competitors against each other.

The internal competition within the Li Family is exceptionally fierce, with one less competitor being a good thing when they die.

Thinking this, Zhuo Xueer relaxed.

But then, she felt a twinge of confusion arise in her heart.

Since Li Shidao wasn’t here to seek justice for the village girl, what was he actually here for?

Just as she was pondering, she saw Li Shidao speak indifferently.

"Although Sister Thirteen is dead, the people she led now belong to me."

People? What people?

Zhuo Xueer was slow to react, and in her confusion, Li Shidao had already turned his gaze around and loudly announced.

"Everyone listen up, Sister Thirteen died here, and none of you can escape involvement."

"I don’t care what your identity is, your background, or which martial school or faction you come from."

"I only give you two choices."

"Either, submit to me."

"Or, pay the price, maim one of your arms, and then you may leave this place."

"Now, make your choice."

Li Shidao’s words ended, and those he brought with him whooshed to each exit, watching the people with unkind expressions.

The disciples of the martial schools were suddenly panicked.

They looked for help from Zhuo Xueer, but she just lowered her head, silent.

In front of Li Shidao, being able to protect herself was already the limit.

She couldn’t care for the others.

Some people turned pale, actually mutilating an arm to walk out.

What a ruthless person!

Li Shidao gestured slightly, signaling those blocking the way to let the man with the severed arm pass, and he left covering his wound.

However, such ruthless people were ultimately a minority.

Most of them quietly laid down their weapons and complied with the arrangement.

Once some surrendered, it immediately created a herd effect.

A large troop was quickly reined under Li Shidao’s command.

Now, Zhuo Xueer finally understood.

"You’re here to gather people!"

Li Shidao glanced at her coldly, indifferent, saying nothing.

But his eyes softened a lot when they unintentionally caught sight of Fang Yu.

Zhuo Xueer was taken aback.

Does he have feelings for me??

She immediately thought about the several times she had opposed Li Shidao without any repercussions.

Her heart inexplicably quickened, but she soon realized that she was probably overthinking it as they had never had any interaction before.

"I heard that you always acted alone before, why are you gathering people now?"

Zhuo Xueer persisted. As someone from the Yangshen Hall, keeping track of the movements of the Five Great Families was also part of her duties.

However, Li Shidao couldn’t be bothered with her anymore.

After gathering the people, he took the group and left.

Throughout the process, Li Shidao did not speak a word to Fang Yu.

But the occasional eye contact made it clear that both understood what the other meant.

As Li Shidao led his team away, the scene also quieted down.

It was only then that Liu Ningran came closer and asked softly:

"Sister Xue Er, what should we do now?"

What to do?

Zhuo Xueer frowned secretly.

"Let’s return to the Yangshen Hall."

"The death of the village girl at our hands and Li Shidao’s sudden accumulation of forces, we must report these events to our superiors immediately."

"As for how to proceed afterward, we just await further orders."

After saying that, Zhuo Xueer looked at Fang Yu.

She still harbored some doubts about his demonized state.

She planned to look further into Fang Yu’s background upon her return.

It would be a big joke if by any chance a demon had infiltrated the Yangshen Hall.

"Oh..."

Hearing her response, Liu Ningran obediently nodded.

She had the least impact during the battle and naturally had little say.

But when she noticed that Fang Yu had been quiet all this time, she couldn’t help but ask curiously:

"Diao Deyi, are you alright?"

"Me? I’m fine."

What a joke, I’m nearly reaching twenty thousand blood points, what could possibly be wrong with me.

But Brother Qing is fierce.

While Fang Yu remained silent, observing quietly, he realized that among the men that Brother Qing had brought, there was actually a Great Demon with fifty thousand blood points.

It scared him into silence.

Clearly, this Great Demon of Endless Blood was not someone Brother Qing could command; it must have been specifically dispatched by the Shu Bird Demon.

What was this preparation for, and what needed the Great Demon of Endless Blood to make an appearance?

Fang Yu pondered Brother Qing was just here to scout and gather some people before leaving.

Could it be that the Great Demon of Endless Blood was here to deal with Li Shisan?

After all, with Zhuo Xueer unharmed, that only left Li Shisan as a target.

Giving it some thought, it seemed plausible; when a demon does not release its true form, its combat ability is limited.

To defeat an opponent in human skin without revealing its true form, overwhelming combat power is required.

They are not giving the village girl a chance to survive.

It looks like even if he did not act, Brother Qing would take care of the village girl.

But there’s a reward if I do the job.

Fang Yu took stock of his gains.

The attribute points weren’t too many, just 25 points.

But his health was steadily rising.

He started to add points.

First, max out the physique.

[Attribute points: 25→23.]

[Physique: 98→100.]

[Health: 12510/19678.]

With the remaining attribute points, Fang Yu directed them all into Primordial Body Technique.

[Attribute points: 23→2.]

[Primordial Heart-Protecting Bone [Grass-Rank Low-grade/Beginning Insights]→Primordial Heart-Protecting Bone [Grass-Rank Mid-grade].]

The panel didn’t show a big improvement.

But his actual combat strength had already increased manifold.

Whether it was the first attempt at the Bone Legs’ Elephant Foot Transformation, or the final finishing move, the Yuan Demon Body, both were significant increases in combat power.
