Leave?
Zhou You certainly had no such thought; he needed demon cores.
His past life was always like this, it was just that those demon cores were provided by his master.
Demon cores have two uses: one is for refining pills, and the other is for eating raw.
The taste is not good, it's fishy and hard to swallow.
Now that he's down the mountain, he has to handle these things himself.
Perhaps, just as Zhou An said, his master sending him down the mountain at this time was precisely to deal with these matters?
He was going to kill demon beasts, and he was also going to improve his strength.
"Once this young master achieves great success, he'll have three wives and four concubines by his side."
Zhou You's lips curved upward, fantasizing about his beautiful future life.
Xiao Chen had no idea about Zhou You's little schemes; she was driven by a sense of righteousness and knew nothing of the world's dangers.
"Li Wanji, since I'm here, there's no reason for me to back down. Moreover, my second uncle is still here, so you don't need to worry."
What she truly meant to express was that her second uncle was invincible, so Li Wanji could rest assured that even if problems arose, her second uncle would solve them.
After all, which family's second uncle could casually give away a Six Flavor Emperor Pill?
Li Wanji glanced at Zhou You's handsome face, thinking to herself that she hoped she hadn't made a mistake about these two.
Otherwise, if she caused their deaths, it would truly be a sin.
Zhou You said with a grin, "Xiao Chen, well said. Second Uncle is always worthy of your trust."
Li Wanji secretly gritted her teeth, feeling increasingly helpless, sensing that they didn't seem like they were here to kill demons on the front lines, but rather to sightsee, especially Zhou You.
Xiao Chen smiled sweetly, thinking that being able to travel the world with her second uncle was truly a blessing she had cultivated in her past life.
Zhou You's gaze swept across the streets of the city, extending far away. "Strange, why is that aura following again?"
A cold, violent aura.
They had escaped that night, but he didn't expect them to follow again today.
"If they're not external aid hired by the Lin family, then they're simply coming for me?"
Zhou You's eyes flickered, and one thought after another flashed through his mind.
He just felt it didn't make sense; he had been well-behaved and hadn't done anything excessive since coming down the mountain, so why would he be targeted by these two sinister fellows?
Li Wanji adjusted her mood. "Normally, when we leave the city, we need at least six people. If there are too few, once we run out of strength, we'll be very passive. However, they don't know Xiao Chen's specific strength, and most are unwilling to come with us, except for those with ulterior motives."
Those with strength won't go with you, fearing they'll be dragged down.
And those who will go with you want to harm you.
It's a definite dilemma!
"The situation is fully understood."
Zhou You looked outside the city. "No need to find anyone, we are enough."
Li Wanji was slightly annoyed. "Do you think this is a child's game? The Fallen Area is really dangerous. Once something happens, no one can protect you. You're not still expecting me to protect you, are you?"
Protect me?
Zhou You was surprised. Tsk tsk, this woman's heart is quite kind.
Xiao Chen hesitated, "That Tu San from before, he should be pretty good, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wanji's face darkened. "None of those guys are good. I privately heard people discussing that they've killed at least a dozen newcomers who came to the front lines."
"Being indecisive is not a good trait."
Zhou You chuckled and walked straight forward. "When you're a person, you have to be clean and decisive."
Li Wanji was displeased. "Who are you being sarcastic to?"
"Actually, there's no need to be so conflicted."
Zhou You continued walking. "Whoever doesn't come with us is a good person, it's that simple."
Li Wanji stared, what kind of logic was that?
Zhou You quickly stopped, standing in front of the Filthy Youth. "Want to go out of the city and have some fun?"
The Filthy Youth didn't even lift his eyelids. "No."
Zhou You squatted down to the side. "Old man, want to go out and have some fun?"
The old man gripped his blade, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth as he grinned. "Not interested in taking care of children."
Zhou You chuckled, "Maybe I'll be the one to take care of you in your old age and bury you?"
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly. "Young man, you have such a hobby?"
Zhou You laughed, "Of course."
The old man raised his Right Hand, a cold glint flashed, and there was a clang.
Zhou You's sword sheath had appeared in front of him at some unknown point, blocking the blade.
The old man's eyebrows raised slightly, a bit surprised. He had intended to scare the other party. He didn't expect the other party's speed to be even faster than his own? Was it a coincidence?
"Are you going or not?"
Zhou You looked at the other party with a smile.
The old man chuckled, "This old man is not a good person."
Zhou You laughed, "Which good person would tell others that he is a good person?"
The smile on the old man's face faded. "You just arrived, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Zhou You smiled, "Either we get rich together, or I'll help you with your funeral."
The old man sneered, "Young man, are you threatening me?"
"No, no, no."
Zhou You shook his head. "This isn't a threat, it's a warning."
The Filthy Youth stood up, looking at Zhou You with cold eyes, his Left Hand gripping a short sword, his Right Hand on the sword hilt.
Zhou You met his gaze. "Your posture for drawing your sword is full of flaws; it's obvious you're going to draw it. There's a lot of knowledge in drawing a sword, for instance, how to build up power in the scabbard, and how to unleash power beyond your own at the moment of drawing the sword. Those are all techniques."
The Filthy Youth was startled; this person was very strange.
The old man stood up. "Perhaps, we really can go together."
The Filthy Youth said coldly, "Old dog!"
The old dog chuckled, "Someone has actively invited us, is there any reason to refuse?"
The Filthy Youth said coldly, "Don't go!"
As he spoke, he moved to the old dog's side and whispered into his ear, "This person is duplicitous. The moment I was about to draw my sword just now, his aura locked onto me. I have a vague feeling that if I dared to draw my sword, I would be the first to die."
The old dog's expression changed slightly. When the words reached this point, it was no longer as simple as a 'feeling'.
They were all cultivators who had fought countless battles in the wilderness!
They were not hothouse flowers, nor were they cowards.
Zhou You was puzzled. "So, are we going or not?"
The old dog took a deep breath. "No, or else you kill me?"
Zhou You nodded, turned, and quickly went to meet Li Wanji and Xiao Chen, who had followed him. "Can't find anyone, let's just leave the city directly."
After speaking, he ignored Li Wanji and walked straight towards the city gate.
The old dog looked at the blade in his hand. Perhaps the other party's speed was indeed faster than his, so it wasn't a coincidence that he blocked it?
The Filthy Youth frowned slightly and looked in another direction. Tu San was quietly walking towards the city gate with four people.
"Xiao Jing."
The old dog whispered, "Things seem to be getting interesting."
Xiao Jing said coldly, "Don't sell his information. This guy is not someone to be trifled with. To have a storage ring and not even hide it, at the very least, he has a very strong backing, not someone we rogue cultivators can afford to provoke."
