“In terms of martial Dao Cultivation talent—”
Anping Xi looked at Li Hai, his ghostly eyes filled with appreciation, “I would call you the number one person in the Four Major Continents of the Eternal Era.
A talent like you really doesn't need to associate with that bunch of old bastards from the Jing Dynasty. Your vision should be broader, looking further, and joining us can provide you with that.
Don't you want to know what Realm lies above the Eternal Overlord? Don't you want to know what's at the end of the world? Don't you want to know what's beyond this world?
All these things, and many, many more, I can tell you, as long as you are willing to join our organization.”
“No need.”
Li Hai smiled slightly, “I can achieve all these things by working hard myself. There’s no need to associate with you people who like to abduct children everywhere.
Although I am not a purely good person, I will never do anything against my true self.”
“Alas~ Is that your answer? This is really difficult.”
Anping Xi's face showed distress, “He is neither a stubborn madman who goes against everything and acts alone, nor a foolish, simple-minded person whose body and mind are permeated by so-called chivalry. He seems to be both sides, yet changes back and forth, truly unfathomable.
Forget it, since you are unwilling to join, then we can only go to war with you. Oh, by the way, there's one last chance to change your mind, do you—want it?”
“If you want to fight, then fight, why waste words?”
Li Hai said with some impatience, “You are really verbose.”
“Good, very good.”
Anping Xi's expression turned cold, and he said sternly, “Then you—take care of yourself.”
After speaking, he immediately became Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering on the spot, disappearing without a trace.
“Acting as if he has victory in his grasp—”
Li Hai murmured, “But he doesn't know—I've already figured out your true identity—Black Celestial, just wait. I'll give you another scare when I get to the Sword Emperor Manor.”
Immediately after throwing Xue Cangqiong's head and spine into the Guiyou Cave Heaven, he disappeared into the dark red, fiery sea on top of Snow God Mountain.
Before officially heading to the Sword Emperor Manor, Li Hai planned to first destroy the Machina Citadel and the Pure Yang Temple, two Schools that had already been infiltrated and controlled by the Nameless Organization.
The former should be a logistics department that provides various divine Sharp Weapons for the Nameless Organization, while the latter might be one of their talent cultivation bases.
Therefore, destroying these two will inevitably reduce the overall strength of the Nameless Organization.
The scope and overall scale of this organization are indeed quite large; it can only be eliminated little by little in this manner.
In fact, after the game within a game orchestrated by Feifei.
Li Hai realized that in this world, when dealing with ancient monsters like Anping Xi, one must never drift with the current or follow what others say.
Because everything around them might be filled with evil and falsehood that appear to be truth and goodness.
However, amidst this evil and falsehood, genuine truth and goodness will also be interspersed.
Those old-timers just love to use these mixed good and evil methods to deal with young people like Li Hai, who possess extraordinary talent and martial prowess,
but also have relatively high moral character.
So, when engaging with these old-timers, who hide in unknown places, how does one discern the good and evil within?
Li Hai's answer was to follow his own will and act freely.
Trust the feeling that arises from within at that moment, and keep moving forward without looking back.
In the turbid Mortal World, do not seek perfection; having a clear conscience is enough.
Only when one is strong enough, truly strong, does one have the right to look back, and the right to pursue perfection.
Because no one is perfect, no task is complete, no good is complete, and no evil is completely evil.
Under the blowing of the winds of fate, evil can transform into good, and bad can transform into good, and these transformations will continue to occur repeatedly under the erosion of the river of time.
Therefore, the good or evil light projected onto Li Hai's tiny dewdrop might be natural light, or it might be artificial light, or even a cunning light with insidious motives.
But no matter what kind of light, if the ripples on Li Hai's dewdrop are too obvious, it will easily be seen through by old-timers like Black Celestial.
Then, following Li Hai's temperament and preferences, they will set up various human nature traps, ultimately guiding him little by little to the direction they desire.
One can only say that old creatures like Black Celestial have lived for far too long, and their schemes are deep and secretly sinister.
When dealing with such people, one must break all methods with brute force, and act quickly.
Shatter all his reliance and force him into a dead end.
“Oh no, oh no!”
“That great Devil Head Li Hai has come to our town!”
“What? Is it that Jade-Faced Killer Star Li Hai, who devours living people and slaughters countless?”
“Yes, yes, run quickly!”
“Wuwuwu, Mom, where are you?!”
“Mom's here! Tiger, let's run quickly!”
Standing in the empty marketplace, Li Hai looked at the men, women, old, and young fleeing in all directions, frowning and muttering, “Anping Xi, this must be your doing, ruining my reputation everywhere? Heh, truly boring to the extreme.”
Not long after leaving Snow God Mountain, because he was truly craving food and didn't know the location of the Machina Citadel.
So Li Hai descended from the sky and landed in this town, wanting to eat something good and ask for directions.
But as soon as Li Hai appeared before everyone, these people acted as if they had seen a ghost, immediately crying and shouting for their parents and fleeing in disarray.
Although he didn't know exactly what happened, Li Hai immediately guessed that it must be Anping Xi's trick.
Because besides him, no one would be so despicable, so fond of messing with people's minds.
However, Li Hai didn't care much about this. He walked to an unmanned stall selling braised meat.
After slipping two gold leaves into the stall owner's money box, he began to grab this and that, eating and drinking heartily.
Li Hai's eating speed was not fast. It took him nearly half an hour to eat eight catties of braised beef and pork and chew on twelve beef bones.
Then, just as Li Hai had satisfied his craving and was about to fly away, a thin, dark little boy, only seven or eight years old, carrying a crude wooden sword, ran aggressively in front of him, pointing at him and saying righteously:
“You villain! Why do you harm so many lives?! I, the Flying Dragon Hero, will take your life today!”
As he spoke, he performed a sword flourish and thrust straight towards Li Hai's glabella.
And at the tip of this toy-like wooden sword, a faint, eerie green light flickered, containing a terrifying poison that would make even an Eternal Overlord tremble.
But facing this attack, Li Hai neither dodged nor avoided, allowing it to strike his glabella.
Swoosh—the wooden sword cut through the seemingly illusory Li Hai, causing the child to stumble forward and fall to the ground.
“Wuwuwuwu~”
After the child fell to the ground, he immediately sat there and cried loudly.
But Li Hai still didn't even glance at him. He neither comforted him nor drove him away, as if he didn't exist at all.
The reason for such indifference was that Li Hai knew.
If he showed any kind of benevolent reaction, this child would definitely not live for another quarter of an hour.
And he would certainly be dismembered and sent to him.
That Anping Xi could definitely do something like that.
