Chapter 680: Chapter 480: Encounter in the Dark World

Little Li?

Li Yi didn’t even have to raise his head upon hearing the call to know who it was, since among everyone he knew, only one person would call him that.

At this moment,

he saw a person leaning halfway out from the corridor on the eighteenth floor of the building, waving at Li Yi below, and as this voice appeared, people in other floors of the building began emerging one after another, looking down in surprise.

"Support really arrived, did it? Seriously, who would risk coming to such a dangerous place? Though, judging by their appearance, it seems they’ve lost quite a few people in the darkness."

"Support is always a good thing; at least we have a bit more hope of surviving. Looks like that person called Wei didn’t lie to us."

"Darkness invasion, building collapse, in the face of such disaster, even if there are a few people, what can they do? Nothing will change; the final result is merely death."

Voices of discussion resounded inside the building.

Some were happy about Li Yi’s arrival because it meant a possible turn in the situation allowing them perhaps to survive, while others maintained a pessimistic view, not believing one could survive the disaster of a darkness invasion. Moreover, observations showed most of these people carried injuries.

Some were even missing arms or legs.

Furthermore, the shops inside the building were not lit, their doors tightly shut, clearly indicating operational failures within the building. Even if they managed to hunt monsters and obtained gold coins, without shops, they couldn’t acquire sufficient materials or equipment.

This naturally fostered feelings of pessimism and despair.

"Yang Wei, you sure picked a great spot. Asking me to get here in ten minutes? Do you think this is something a normal person can do?" Ignoring the discussions, Li Yi spoke in a deep voice, his words carrying Jin Qi spreading around.

He spent half a day to get here, and if not for Xuan Yuezi, he probably would’ve had to halt halfway.

Then,

several figures quickly descended the stairs of the building from above.

Leading them was Yang Wei, wearing a gray trench coat, short-sleeved inside, his youthful and tender face wearing a hint of a friendly smile, surrounded by several powerful team members, among whom one surprised Li Yi.

It was a woman, dressed in a tight combat suit, a shortsword hanging from her slender waist, walking with long legs, a long ponytail swinging casually.

She wasn’t from this Dark World, but an evolver from Earth.

Li Yi had dealt with her quite a lot.

"Ning Wu?" He frowned, as not-so-pleasant memories came rushing into his mind.

"Oh, you know each other?" Yang Wei glanced at Ning Wu, slightly surprised.

Ning Wu obviously recognized Li Yi too; her expression seemed uneasy as she gently took a breath and said, "I encountered him when I was cultivating in Tianchang City. Back then, Li Yi was just a newcomer stepping into cultivation."

"Cultivating in Tianchang City, just admit you were in prison," Li Yi stated, "Hiring a hitman, trading lives, committed all sorts of crimes; if not for the Sky Tipping incident when the investigation agency needed the strength of evolvers to fight against fierce beasts in danger zones, you would’ve been executed long ago, couldn’t have possibly survived till now."

Ning Wu immediately replied, "I’ve already redeemed myself for past matters, my cousin and I risked our lives fighting fierce beasts, resolving the city crisis, a fact acknowledged by the investigation agency. Li Yi, are you going to revisit old grudges?"

"You’re right, you were released by the investigation agency, and I’ve previously said I wouldn’t revisit old grudges. Otherwise, do you think you could’ve walked out from Tianchang City alive?" Li Yi stared at her, "I’m just curious how you ended up here."

"After leaving Tianchang City, I came to Tianzhong City. Later, when darkness invaded during the Sky Tipping incident, my cousin Yu Chuan and I were accidentally caught in it, and ended up here by chance, that’s all," Ning Wu said.

Li Yi asked, "What about Yu Chuan? Why don’t I see him?"

"He’s injured..." Ning Wu’s gaze flickered, she instinctively looked upstairs.

Clearly, her cousin was severely injured, unable to move, let alone come downstairs.

"Cultivation at Soul Realm, you are doing well; surviving in this dark world isn’t surprising," Li Yi assessed again, taking note of Ning Wu’s cultivation level.

Normally, with Ning Wu’s speed of cultivation, achieving Soul Realm wouldn’t be so easy.

But once you cross the border, it’s hard to say.

After all, once an Evolver embarks on the path of dual cultivation, their potential will be continually unleashed, and their cultivation speed will rapidly increase.

"Hey, Xiao Li, don’t just focus on chatting with the beauties. You should know I was the one who called you over. You’re making me lose face like this," Yang Wei said. "Did you bring a Life Repair Cabin this time? Quickly lend it for a bit. Look at these people, missing arms and legs. If we don’t treat them, they won’t last for a few days."

"Lending you a Life Repair Cabin is easy, but why are you here? Do you think this place is similar to the Ghost Post Office? Do you really enjoy this dark atmosphere? Coming here feels like coming home, a natural sense of familiarity? This place is filled with evil objects, killing without pattern. Your style doesn’t work here," Li Yi said.

"Your mouth is so sharp, it might as well sing. I should let you talk to my dog," Yang Wei said.

Li Yi said, "You have a dog? I did hear barking before, but I never saw a dog."

"I think you’d rather not see that dog; it’s easy to have nightmares," Yang Wei said. "Also, I told you over the phone, I came here to save all beings. I sensed an apocalypse crisis here, which is why I’m staying, trying to solve this world’s problems. I, Wei, am known for handling things, even a world-ending crisis only I dare to bear."

"Although you, Xiao Li, have some guts, you’re still too immature compared to me and need more honing."

Li Yi said, "Alright, alright, stop flattering yourself. You’ve already called for backup, so why say all this? If it doesn’t work out, open the Cross-border Gate and find your background support."

"Background isn’t something you can use just like that," Yang Wei said. "A person must rely on themselves. That guy Xiao Yang is known for being petty. I asked him to lend me some strength, and instead, he took some back and gave me a dog. Who can I reason with?"

"If he doesn’t give it, you can take it," Li Yi suggested.

"Makes sense. Next time I’ll bring you to grab it. He has an Immortal Artifact called the Octagonal Immortal Gold Tower, and besides that, there’s an axe, scissors, a mirror, all treasures. If we succeed, you can take three, and I’ll take seven. Although the risk is high, the profit is also high," Yang Wei said.

Li Yi said, "You’re so capable of handling things on your own. You don’t need me. Or are you afraid to act alone?"

"What are you saying, I, Wei, am not without the courage; I’m just considering the relationship between me and him. I don’t want to end up with bloodshed on the street with Xiao Yang. If acquaintances see it, they’ll just think I’m hot-headed at home, not that I’m powerful. If you’re willing to step in, that’s a different story," Yang Wei said.

"He’s thriving in World 36 now, and you’re okay with suffering here? Defeat him, reclaim everything you’ve lost, and let everyone remember you, Wei," Li Yi said.

Yang Wei laughed and said, "Li Yi, you’re indeed a naturally evil Earthling, actually tricking me into going to my death. Not simple! However, Xiao Yang won’t be smug for years. I will eventually set up a new Guanjiang entrance on Earth. Both of us will be leaders. I’ll make my banner larger than his, and it will be in Tianchang City. There’s a river there I really like. But to be the leader, I need followers. Now, Ning Wu and his cousin are my followers. In the future, I’ll be covering you, so you have to show some respect."

"Without the influence of supernatural power, I think your mind isn’t quite right." Li Yi seriously said.

"Haha, don’t mind the details. I’ve finally left World 36. Can’t I do what I like? Li Yi, once I build my group, I’ll definitely let you join," Yang Wei proposed.

Li Yi refused, "Just forget it."

"This is destiny between us, no escaping," Yang Wei said. "Alright, enough about that. Ning Wu, quickly get the other injured folks down. Carry those who can’t move. I need to use the Life Repair Cabin to treat them. Also, those without combat ability should head downstairs. We need to organize and prepare to head out."

"Okay."

Ning Wu glanced at Li Yi, then nodded, twisting her waist, flipping her long ponytail, and walking away briskly.

"She actually listens to your arrangement?" Li Yi was a bit surprised.

Yang Wei said, "Nothing much, I, Wei, carry a natural charm. Anyone who’s around me long enough will fall for my charm. You don’t need to envy it; it’s a trait you naturally evil Earthlings don’t have. This is something unique to us from World 36. By the way, what’s with the people you brought along? Other than this Taoist Nun, the others seem weak."

"Picked them up on the way," Li Yi said.

"That’s not right. Even if others are weak, you shouldn’t look down on them. Even a security guard or cleaner can be very useful at critical moments," Yang Wei said.

"You can save all beings, so you take them and find a way out. I think you can offer some help, but relying on an outsider to save a world isn’t realistic. The people of this world need to change and strive themselves," Li Yi said as he took out and placed the Life Repair Cabin aside.

Yang Wei pointed to Xuan Yuezi and asked, "Then what’s up with this powerful Taoist Nun beside you?"

"That’s the background," Li Yi said.

Xuan Yuezi now had a cool and unfriendly face, but when she looked at Yang Wei, she showed a hint of vigilance and unease.

This person is definitely not as simple as he looks on the surface.

It seems there’s some supreme power present on him, making his existence quite special.
