Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 337 - 134: Underground Control, Forged Soldiers Battle

Chapter 337: Chapter 134: Underground Control, Forged Soldiers Battle

"Do you know... what a top-tier seventh-grade weapon signifies?"

"Control," Cui Huayin replied, "But even the Emperor can’t ensure loyalty; playing with fire like this is dangerous."

Li Yuan said, "Whether it’s playing with fire, my dear, you will see for yourself.

By the way, don’t tell anyone."

With that, he gently embraced his wife from behind.

This time, Cui Huayin didn’t resist.

But Li Yuan didn’t move, just quietly held her.

The night deepened...

Cui Huayin suddenly said, "Then I shall observe your performance."

Li Yuan laughed, "And there’s a reward for me?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Cui Huayin didn’t say anything, her eyes calmly watching the shallow shadows cast by the furniture in the room under the moonlight. Her expression was pure and delicate, like the first fall of snow in early winter.

Seeing Li Yuan hesitant to act, she impatiently remarked, "Stop being so wishy-washy. If you’re going to do something, do it."

...

...

When Li Yuan was in Shanbao County, Hengwu Restaurant, the Blood Saber Sect, and Flying Bird were all his eyes.

But upon arriving at the Divine Wood Hall Inner City, his eyes became fewer and insufficient.

At least, for such an unusual event this time, he had no clue what the situation was.

Whether good or bad,

things unclear were all disasters.

While he gained benefits, he became even more cautious.

He needed to continue living here, so... he had to find new "eyes" and install them for himself.

If he didn’t even have "eyes," then danger was lurking close by, and he’d be ignorant, not knowing what was happening.

...

Night...

In the dead of night, tree shadows in the wind resembled ghosts.

On the streets, drunken men staggered about.

The wealthy indulged in entertainment at a place mixing a gambling den, brothel, and auction house.

A place of luxury, often reached through secluded paths.

The Black Wolf Gang was located at the end of such a narrow alleyway.

But at its constricted end, it opened up suddenly.

Gang Leader Wang Linji, as usual, was inspecting his "gold-dissolving pit," then entered his "palace."

But upon entering, he saw his master.

He closed the door behind him and respectfully addressed the youth sitting in his seat drinking fine wine and eating fruit, "Master."

And then he said, "Congratulations on becoming a Weapon Forger, Master."

Li Yuan waved his hand, asking, "Were you able to find all who inquired about my family?"

Wang Linji replied, "Yes, Master, everyone has been found, including high-ranking members from our Wild Wolf Gang, Old Wood Manor, and the Cyan Robe Building. I need to devise a plan to bring them over to you."

Li Yuan said, "I won’t kill them; I just want to keep an eye on them. When they act again, feed them some false information."

Wang Linji nodded in realization, "I see."

Li Yuan continued, "The fact that these people span three gangs... could there be a secret intelligence force above your three groups?"

Wang Linji thought for a moment, "Master, I’ve heard of a mysterious force called Late Wind... perhaps there are their people among our three gangs."

Li Yuan pondered for a while, then said, "Can you arrange a meeting with the leaders of Old Wood Manor and Cyan Robe Building?"

Wang Linji hesitated, seeming to think of a plan, then raised his head, "Master, I am familiar with them, but convincing them to meet isn’t easy... even if arranged, they would bring many people."

Li Yuan said, "Then keep an eye on them for me, and give me a time, place, and opportunity, and I’ll seek them out myself."

Wang Linji suddenly looked up, his voice somewhat suppressed, "Master, do you intend to grant them a boon?"

A boon...

Li Yuan’s expression shifted slightly.

Changes had apparently occurred in this "Black Wolf Gang Leader shackled with human skin handcuffs."

He had noticed long ago.

He just didn’t expect his disposition seemed to change as well.

He remembered two years and three months ago, this person’s power was "225~245."

And now, after 27 months, his power had risen to "252~272."

Growing a little each month, like... Xiaozhao’s Wu Ya.

And Xiaozhao had inherited Feng’Er’s power.

The "human skin handcuffs" were also jointly crafted by Feng’Er.

Wang Linji slightly raised his hands, a fanatical look slowly surfaced in his eyes, "A boon... thanks to the boon bestowed by Master!

I never imagined my power could still increase...

It’s wonderful.

Absolutely wonderful!"

Seeing his fervor, Li Yuan felt a bit uneasy.

A specter’s nature remains such unless one is already skeletal, otherwise... some eerie changes will always occur.

One’s own creation is no exception.

But thinking about it, this eerie power comes from Yan Yu and Xiaozhao, and suddenly... it didn’t seem so eerie anymore.

...

...

Three days later.

Li Yuan met the Manor Master of Old Wood Manor—Si Fengru.

This was a seventh-grade female martial artist with power "260~275."

He encountered her deep in the manor, and then he directly used the "human skin handcuffs" on the Manor Master Si.

...

Seven days later.

Through Si Fengru and Wang Linji, Li Yuan met the leader of the largest power behind First Gate, Cyan Robe Building—Wang Hiran.

Wang Hiran was incredibly powerful, with strength "315~330."

But after Li Yuan used the "human skin handcuffs" on him, certain places in his heart changed silently, as if possessed by ghosts, and he called Li Yuan "Master."

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Through the secret explorations of Wang Hiran, Si Fengru, and Wang Linji, Li Yuan met with the mysterious force known as "Late Wind."

It turned out to be a pair of dwarf brothers.

The brothers looked identical, and if they appeared in two places at once, people might mistake them for those who could "shrink the ground to inches, travel a thousand miles in an instant."

The elder brother of the two was called Ouyang Da, and the younger Ouyang Xiong. They were engaged in assassin work, and their strength was comparable to Wang Hiran, both top figures among seventh grade.
