Chapter 380: Chapter 268: Return to the Four Seas_2

Li Yi hadn’t planned to pay with his life span, as he had already grown accustomed to defaulting on payments. After all, Gods and Ghosts couldn’t collect life span from him.

But talk was just talk, and he still extended a finger to test it on the Life Plate.

Quickly.

The needle on the Life Plate moved and pointed to a number: eighty.

"Eighty? Young man, your lifespan isn’t much longer. Last time I tested you, you had a hundred and fifty. What happened, did someone collect your life span recently?" the old man asked.

At that moment, Li Yi furrowed his brows, feeling somewhat astonished. He said, "The ghost soldiers that came to collect are all dead, nothing would collect my lifespan... Moreover, I’ve recently had a breakthrough in my cultivation; logically, my lifespan should increase, not decrease by so much."

He was now an Evolver in the Spiritual Realm. Without any illness or disaster, living another two hundred years would not be a problem, and his lifespan should only increase, not decrease.

"If what you say is true, then there’s only one possibility left; someone used your lifespan without your knowledge. Think, do you have any evil objects or anything strange on you?" the old man kindly suggested at that moment.

With that said, Li Yi suddenly remembered something.

The supernatural item brought back from world number 36, the cracked short stick?

If he had to name an evil object he possessed, it was the only one.

Moreover, Liu Qingqing had mentioned that using supernatural items came at a price. Could it be that the price for using this cracked short stick in his hand was consuming his lifespan...

"I think I know what the cause might be. I’m not buying anything else for now, but I would like to buy this Life Plate. Will you sell it?" Li Yi immediately said.

The old man was quite generous and replied, "The Life Plate isn’t worth much. Seeing that you are young and have potential, I’ll give it to you."

As he spoke, he extended his emaciated hand to grab the Life Plate and tossed it over.

"Thank you." Li Yi caught the device, similar to a compass, and didn’t hesitate to put it away. "Once I’ve dealt with the problem I have, I’ll come back to do business with you. But don’t you die on me, alright? Make sure to save your wares for me; I don’t want to come back next time to find someone else at your stall."

"Don’t worry, I won’t die even if you do," the old man said in a hoarse voice.

"Farewell." Li Yi bowed with a fist and left the alley without looking back.

Afterward, he found a secluded corner, took a bottle of fresh blood out of his backpack, and then poured it onto a Mud Horse.

He still had several of these items in hand, so he was not lacking. Just thinking it’s better to be safe than sorry, he figured he’d get some whenever he could since he didn’t have to pay for them. After all, who would complain about getting something for free? He hadn’t expected though to discover a problem with his life span on this trip.

The fresh blood in the bottle was not his own; it belonged to a servant from the Li Mansion in Sanyang City across the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

Quickly.

Accompanied by a chilling wind, fierce neighing, the Mud Horse transformed into a Yin Horse before his eyes.

Li Yi immediately mounted the horse. As the Yin Horse threw its hooves, it suddenly sped off.

Guided by the fresh blood, the Yin Horse was headed to Sanyang City in the Four Seas and Eight Continents, to the relatives of that servant.

The speed of the Yin Horse was very fast.

Speeding like lightning, with the scenery swiftly moving backward, it quickly left Ghost Street, and as the light brightened before his eyes, a gust of fresh air hit him, and Li Yi immediately realized he had once again returned to the Four Seas and Eight Continents.

However, the Yin Horse did not stop its gallop; it continued flying, crossing rivers and mountains, never slowing down, heading straight in one direction.

Before long.

On a plain in the distance, the outline of a city appeared before Li Yi’s eyes.

"We’re almost at Sanyang City."

Seeing the city lifted Li Yi’s spirits considerably. Although he hadn’t been in this world for long, he had grown fond of it—here he had his master, his junior sister, and some acquaintances, and he didn’t have to worry about the Sky Tipping incident.

The Yin Horse neighed, its cries echoing around.

Accompanied by the howling Yin wind, the horse crossed the city gate and charged directly into the city.

Before people could react, the Yin Horse leapt onto the rooftops, racing through the air towards Li Mansion in Sanyang City.

"A Yin Horse treading the street? Someone from Ghost Street is here?"

Suddenly, a young man dressed in brocade clothes and with an extraordinary demeanor raised his head sharply towards the Yin wind. He then smiled, and Jin Qi burst forth from beneath his feet, sounding six times in quick succession. In an instant, he flew out like an arrow, catching up with the Yin wind and delightfully delivering a punch towards Li Yi on the Yin Horse.

"Bang!" The Fist Gang exploded, unleashing its power.

Greeting with a punch?

Good,

very good.

This was very much in keeping with the way people in the Four Seas and Eight Continents greeted each other; every one of them was a rude Martial Artist, who would deliver a punch when in doubt, and if one punch wasn’t enough, another talk would ensue. If someone died from that punch, then so be it.

"A Qi Cultivation Martial Artist? And he has opened his nine acupoints? When did Sanyang City get such a young expert?"

As an Evolver, Li Yi reacted exceptionally quickly. Before his opponent could finish his punch, his Spiritual Sense had already detected the motion.

"Greeting me won’t be that easy," he replied without hesitation, also throwing a punch.

This was the signature Fist Power of Master Zhao Ge from Zhao Ge Martial Arts Hall.

Shaking Mountains and Rivers!

Similar to Fist Gang explosion, but Li Yi’s Fist Gang was even more terrifying. With just a lift of his hand, the Jin Qi roared around him, sweeping across the scene. Even those standing five or six meters away could be blown into the air; however, his Fist Power was well controlled, concentrated and passing through.

The two exchanged a punch.

The next moment.

The brocaded young man was instantly blown away, crashing through the roof of a house and falling inside.

"Puh!"

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, his entire arm hanging limply, his fingers deformed.

"Young master," two loyal old servants immediately rushed over in shock.

"It’s nothing, I won’t die," the brocaded young man struggled to stand up and said excitedly, "This man is not from the Four Seas and Eight Continents; he came from Ghost Street, and moreover, he’s wearing the Five-clawed Black Dragon Robe... His punch was majestic, with a force that could make emperors bleed. These characteristics cannot be mistaken, he is Li Yi, the man who dares to challenge Gods and Ghosts."

"Let’s go to the City Lord Mansion, inform Fan Zhizhou, the opportunity to Cross Border has come. Uncle Fu, you go contact the other families, tell them, the person we’ve been waiting for has returned."

Far from being flustered, he was actually excited, and despite his injuries, he led one of the old servants straight to the City Lord Mansion without looking back.

The other servant named Uncle Fu also immediately rushed off elsewhere, his strength exploding and his Jin Qi unleashing— he too was a Qi Cultivation Martial Artist.
