Chapter 552: Chapter 392 City on Alert_2

"There are those who are somewhat better, reciting poetry daily and posing as scholars to deceive beauties. They might be fond of fishing for compliments and fame, but at least they are not so vile. The worst they’ve done is cuckold the Emperor. Compared to others, this can be considered rather benign. However, I didn’t kill that person, and I don’t know what happened afterward, but inevitably, he must have ended up plotting a coup." Sword Coin’s regret said.

My goodness.

Do all Cross-borders play such wanton games? They even bring disaster to the inner palace, cuckolding the Emperor.

Sword Coin’s regret continued, "Besides that, there’s you. You are the least Earth Prisoner-like Earth Prisoner I’ve ever met. Maybe it’s because your demonic nature has not yet awakened, or perhaps you still have some conscience. But from my experience, it is only a matter of time before Earth Prisoners become demonized. Your evil is innate and cannot be eradicated. Sooner or later, you will fall into the Demon Path, and the stronger you are, the higher the likelihood of becoming a demon."

"In the end, it all comes down to one line: ’Better to betray the world than let the world betray me,’ or loudly proclaiming, ’It’s not me who is wrong, but the world,’ thus resolutely falling into the Demon Path, bringing calamity to the living. It follows that you pass a dog and you must kill it; in short, you are very good at finding a flimsy excuse to comfortably commit evil deeds."

"You really do understand Earth Prisoners all too well; you didn’t get a single thing wrong," Li Yi had to admit at this moment that Sword Coin’s regret hit the nail on the head.

Indeed, this very much fits the characteristics of Earth people.

Li Yi now understood why Sword Coin’s regret harbored such hatred for Earth people.

If it were him, seeing all these evildoers coming from the same world, the same place, and even the same race, he would also question whether this race was inherently evil, why there wasn’t even one good person?

"If you Earth Prisoners just stayed in Earth Prison, the evil wouldn’t be so apparent, presumably due to mutual restraint. After all, no one is easy to deal with, but if you were in the outside world, that would be terrible," Sword Coin’s regret said: "Such an evil world, its destruction might as well be a good thing."

Li Yi said, "That’s too extreme."

"Extreme? Do you have any idea what it’s like when you Earth Prisoners rebel and massacre cities? They would kill anyone taller than a wheel, so that guy just laid the wheel flat," Sword Coin’s regret huffed heavily.

"..."

"Strictly speaking, I am not really an Earth person; I could be considered half a Martial Artist from the Four Seas and Eight Continents, as I have formally taken a master, and I also possess the divine bloodline of the Barbaric World," Li Yi said with a guilty conscience at this moment.

"I don’t care about that. Remember, you owe me two Earth Prisoner lives. The earlier ones were killed by someone else, so they don’t count towards you," Sword Coin’s regret disappeared after saying that.

Li Yi sighed.

At this point in time, why is this person still keeping count?

Wait a minute.

Suddenly.

Li Yi found some issues from the words of this Sword Coin’s regret.

The Earth Prisoners he encountered who committed wrongdoing were not all from the same world, which means, did Sword Coin travel through many worlds while alive?

How did he manage that?

Or is it really as Sword Coin’s regret said, that he truly possessed a unique Cross-border Technique?

Li Yi couldn’t help but feel curious and tempted.

If he could also master some kind of special Cross-border Technique, he wouldn’t be so passive. After all, building a Cross-border Base himself wasn’t realistic, and even if he were successful in constructing one, it would require a complete array of rare items as an energy supply, which was simply impractical for the current Li Yi.

Maybe, it really was time to try and fulfill the fates of those two Earth Prisoners...

Wait a minute.

If he did this, wouldn’t he be doing exactly what Sword Coin lamented, finding a suitable justification to calmly descend into the Demon Path?

Very soon.

Li Yi shook his head, no longer indulging in wild thoughts, and drove to the entrance of Peace Finance Building.

At the moment, the vicinity of the building was also on high alert.

Armed robots carrying high-energy sniper rifles patrolled the area, surrounded by surveillance cameras. The Intelligent Computer Lan Ji allocated a portion of its processing power to take over the building’s security system. On the top floor, three high-energy beam cannons were on standby.

However, Li Yi did not see the Thunderbolt Warplanes, nor the two mutant beasts, Niu Niu and Good Wings.

At this time, they were probably hunting Extraordinary Creatures in the danger zone.

Although the omens in the sky were changing, Sky Tipping had not started yet. It was still good to make as many preparations as possible.

"Li Yi, you have finally returned in time, thank heavens." At that moment, Lv Jue, who was stationed at the entrance, immediately approached him, visibly relieved.

"I said I would return after establishing the Cross-border point. How is everything? Nothing serious happened, right?" Li Yi stepped down from his battle chariot and asked.

Lv Jue said: "All is well for now. Thanks to our advance preparations, no chaos has ensued. Your relatives who could come have sought refuge in Peace Finance Building, just like everyone else’s relatives. Zheng Lan had anticipated this and converted ten floors entirely into separate rooms, enough to house hundreds of people without any problems."

"The supplies are also well prepared. Lin Yue’s two storage Magic Artifacts are filled with stuff, and the retreat vehicles are also over there. If the Sky Tipping event is not severe, we can live here for one or two months. If it is severe, retreating won’t be a problem either; we’ve also planned the retreat route well. We won’t be using the main roads. We’ll depart directly from here, blasting a path straight to the danger zone’s Cross-border point with Thunderbolt Warplanes. Intelligent Computer Lan Ji has calculated that everything should go smoothly, allowing us to evacuate within an hour."

"Good, we’ll have to wait and see, then." Li Yi nodded.

He did not trust their combat abilities, but Li Yi had more confidence in their ability to handle affairs. Having these people help could indeed free him from many trivial matters, saving time and energy for other things.

"Is Zhao Lingfu’s work done?" Li Yi asked again.

"He said he needs one more day to clear the area around the danger zone. It should be finished by tomorrow morning, so we can only hope that the Sky Tipping event doesn’t occur within these two days," Lv Jue said, looking up at the sky.

Even as a Spiritual Realm Cultivator, he could feel that the spatial wormholes were highly unstable recently, with massive amounts of cosmic energy leaking out, and extremely volatile at that.

Moreover, the anomalies in the sky were becoming more frequent, and the gates to Cross-border travel could be opened at any moment.

"Since we are well-prepared, let’s quietly wait for the Sky Tipping event," Li Yi said. "That’s all we can do now. Let’s be optimistic; we survived the first Sky Tipping event, and now we are Cultivators. Should we fear the second one?"
