CHAPTER 935: CHAPTER 705: THE PERIL OF LIANGZHOU

After Li Yi left Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, he didn’t rush to leave Sanyang City but returned to the Li Mansion.

The Li Mansion was his residence in Sanyang City; it served as a temporary foothold for his cross-world travels. As an Earthling, he would always find a place to stay in any world to avoid being homeless and under someone else’s roof.

Even though he hadn’t returned to this mansion for a long time.

Nonetheless, the manor was still well-maintained with no signs of decay.

Li Yi descended from the sky into the front yard. His gaze fixed on a woman in a purple robe beside the courtyard. This woman exuded a chilling aura; although her appearance seemed youthful, she gave off an old and decayed impression.

At this moment, the woman in the purple robe was unhurriedly sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

However, Li Yi’s arrival immediately drew the attention of the woman in the purple robe. She stopped her sweeping and looked at Li Yi with some uncertainty, as if his arrival was unexpected.

"Ghost God Zi Feng," Li Yi slowly spoke.

Although this ghost god hadn’t revealed her true form, appearing instead as an ordinary woman, there was no way his eyes would mistake her.

"I have seen Mr. Li," Ghost God Zi Feng hurriedly knelt down respectfully, bowing to show her respect.

The more powerful someone is, the more they can feel the terrifying aura emanating from Li Yi.

Even as a millennial ghost god, Zi Feng couldn’t help but shudder, as if Li Yi before her wasn’t a human but a true god, his every move carrying a power that could shake the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

One should know that the last time they met, the millennial ghost god could still exchange a blow or two with him.

But now, how long has it been?

The Li Yi before her seemed to have transcended into sainthood, instilling fear even in the ghost god.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you," Li Yi said calmly, then strode toward the main hall.

Zi Feng dared not disobey and quickly stood up to follow behind him respectfully.

After Li Yi sat down, he directly said, "I remember leaving four ghost gods to oversee the world when I left the Four Seas and Eight Continents. Those four ghost gods were Cui Yue, Sword Shirt, Cold Mountain, and you, with a promise to help you all rebuild your mortal bodies and live another life someday."

"I, Li Yi, will naturally keep my word, but before that, I want to know what changes have occurred in the Four Seas and Eight Continents recently. If you know, tell me truthfully."

He didn’t put on airs or show displeasure, instead making it clear that he would fulfill his promise. Similarly, Ghost God Zi Feng should also be diligent in overseeing the Four Seas and Eight Continents instead of sweeping the ground here, passing the time away.

Zi Feng immediately replied, "Mr. Li, indeed there have been significant changes in the Four Seas and Eight Continents recently. A group of monstrous creatures has crossed worlds to invade this place. These creatures are exceptionally brutal and consider humans as food, which martial artists cannot resist."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi’s expression immediately shifted.

As expected.

The monsters from the Demon God Realm had already arrived at the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

"When I traversed worlds, why didn’t I encounter those creatures?" Li Yi asked again.

Zi Feng continued, "Another group also crossed worlds and led those creatures to Liangzhou. Liangzhou is desolate with few people, and the battles there have minimal impact, so creatures are not seen in other states, preserving them."

"Liangzhou? So that’s how it is," Li Yi suddenly understood upon hearing this.

It must have been a suggestion from Master Zhao Ge.

It’s called moving the tiger away from the mountain.

If those creatures were scattered across the Four Seas and Eight Continents, eradicating them would be a tremendously difficult task.

"Is Liangzhou still engaged in battle with those creatures?" Li Yi asked.

Zi Feng replied, "The ghost soldiers send messages every three days. The latest message says the creatures grow more courageous as they fight, and Liangzhou is on the verge of collapse. The cross-world path is blocked by the creatures, trapping all the martial artists and common people of the Four Seas and Eight Continents like fish in a barrel."

Although she had lived for a thousand years, her emotions were thin, and she was very indifferent, but she couldn’t help but show a trace of sadness when speaking of this.

Powerful enemies have crossed worlds, leaving no solution.

Any random creature is enough to crush a millennial ghost god, which isn’t a battle but a massacre.

If not for the powerful beings that also crossed worlds enforcing themselves, the Four Seas and Eight Continents would have long transformed into a purgatory.

"You will go to Liangzhou with me," Li Yi stood up at this moment.

If he went to aid now, there was still time for everything.

"Mr. Li intends to save the world, and I will naturally follow him at the risk of my life," Ghost God Zi Feng said respectfully.

Although she didn’t know how Li Yi’s strength compared to those creatures, having lived in the Four Seas and Eight Continents left her no choice but to fight against those creatures. Her continued presence here was arranged by Zhao Ge.

And the purpose was to wait for Li Yi’s arrival.

Li Yi didn’t speak at this moment but merely walked a few steps forward. A cloud of auspicious patterns formed beneath his feet, then expanded and lifted him and Ghost God Zi Feng into the air.

"Master."

At this moment, someone in the mansion was kneeling and bowing to him, shouting loudly, and there were several beautiful women nearby who looked somewhat familiar.

"Jin Dafu, take care of the estate and wait for my return." Li Yi recognized this person, and acknowledging his loyalty, he said a word and then took off with the Cloud-Riding Technique.

In just a breath,

Li Yi and Ghost God Zi Feng had already disappeared at the edge of the sky.

Such speed had already surpassed the understanding of martial artists across the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Kneeling on the ground, Jin Dafu’s eyes were wide open with incredulity. The master he served, was he now a man or a god? How did he acquire such unbelievable abilities in just a few years?

Martial artists being able to fly is not rare; a Martial Artist in the Refining Gang Realm can already glide close to the ground.

But disappearing in an instant, such speed could only be that of a Divine Being.

"What realm has Li Yi reached now? A few years ago, he was able to quell the chaos of the ghosts and gods, and now he might have transcended the mundane and become sacred, even Zhao Ge is no longer the same as before..." A voluptuous and seductive woman next to him also widened her eyes, muttering to herself.

If Li Yi were here, he would definitely have some impression of this woman. Her name is Hua San Jie, and before the situation in Sanyang City changed, she was the workshop master of Hua Fang in Sanyang City, a position of considerable prestige.

But ever since Li Yi came to Sanyang City, this little city had become a haven for hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with experts from the four major families moving in, the thousand-year-old ghosts and gods lurking, and Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall constantly evolving, producing numerous experts.

Even though Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall did not intentionally annex other forces, in a land where dragons and tigers crouch, how could a mere workshop master like her have a place?

So Hua San Jie simply gritted her teeth and sold herself into the Li Mansion, clinging to Li Yi, this towering tree.

Of course.

With her status, she didn’t even qualify to sell herself into the mansion and would only be driven away, for Li Yi is now the master of the Four Seas and Eight Continents. However, when Li Yi first met Hua San Jie, he jokingly teased, saying Hua San Jie was still charming and could enter the mansion as a warm bed maid.

At that time, Li Yi wasn’t yet distinguished, so Hua San Jie politely declined.

But now, things have changed.

Li Yi’s once casual remark has become as good as gold. The speaker was casual, but the listener took it seriously.

It was precisely because of this remark that Hua San Jie was tacitly allowed into the Li Mansion by Zhao’s Martial Arts Hall, regarded as Li Yi’s warm bed maid, and that is why she appeared in the mansion today, jointly kneeling with Jin Dafu, the steward, to pay respects to Li Yi.

However, now Li Yi was in a hurry to rush to Liangzhou, so he didn’t have time to greet those familiar individuals.

The Four Seas and Eight Continents might be vast, but they were only a small world, not much different from Earth before the revival of Spiritual Energy.

Under the effect of Li Yi’s vast mana, the Cloud-Riding Technique brought him into the territory of Liangzhou, one of the Eight Continents, in a matter of moments.

Upon entering Liangzhou, the place was shrouded in Demon Qi, filled with smoke and confusion, and the land was broken and barren, everywhere one looks, it’s all wasteland.

Originally more desolate, Liangzhou was now devastated after the disturbance of monsters.

Some villages and cities were completely destroyed, not even a single living person could be found.

"This state is probably finished." Li Yi’s gaze hardened. Even if he repelled the demons from the Demon God Realm, Liangzhou would cease to exist, and the Four Seas and Eight Continents would turn into Four Seas and Seven Continents.

"The Demon Qi is converging over there."

He then looked into the distance, sensing a strong Demon Qi gathering there, the level of this Demon Qi was at least of Great Demon rank, and there was more than one.

In other words, several Great Demons had invaded the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

But if the Great Demons are here, who is opposing them?

As Li Yi approached again, he saw an island floating in mid-air, this island had also suffered various attacks, already incomplete, but it still emitted a radiance of treasure light, activating a Grand Array to barely maintain the existence of the island.

"Floating Immortal Island."

Li Yi recognized the island, it was once the treasure of a Divinity Transformation Realm expert from the Xuanxian Continent, but after he killed that expert, the Floating Immortal Island fell into his hands, and he left it in Tianchang City.

The treasure was then damaged by Du Bai Zhi and stolen to the Golden Academy.

However, after Li Yi killed Du Bai Zhi, the Floating Immortal Island was neglected, as he had no way of repairing the damaged treasure and had to abandon it. Unexpectedly, the island now appeared in the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Evidently, someone had retrieved this broken Immortal Island and restored it, otherwise, it would not be usable.

And the fact was, it was just as Li Yi had guessed.

The Floating Immortal Island was taken over by Lin Yue from the Golden Academy, who knew it was a treasure left behind by Li Yi, and seeing it going to waste, she brought it back to Tianchang City, having Tu Daoist reforge and repair it.

Now the Floating Immortal Island was no longer a damaged treasure but a Low Grade Dao Artifact, and was a self-contained Grotto Heaven capable of accommodating many people.

Lin Yue intended to turn it into a new home for people to live and cultivate.

Unexpectedly, when the great calamity struck, the Floating Immortal Island played a significant role, protecting them and leading them to the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

But the crisis was not over, as the Great Demons from the Demon God Realm had pursued them.
