75: go home

Shen Xi naturally didn't know that after he left, the Council had sent people to the site of his battle with the Dried Corpse Old Man.

After traveling for a day and a night, Shen Xi's injuries had gradually recovered.

It must be said, the Indestructible Glazed Body cultivated to the Perfection Realm was indeed extraordinary.

Whether it was defense or recovery ability, it was comparable to Innate Martial Arts.

With Shen Xi's injuries, even though he was now in the Great Accomplishment of Yuanqi Realm, it would still take him at least three to five days to fully recover.

But now, in just one day, he had already recovered to his Peak state.

This was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before.

“Another hundred li forward, and we'll reach the Demon Swamp Mining Area.”

Shen Xi looked at the map in his hand and confirmed his location.

Before returning home, he had to make a trip to the Demon Swamp Mining Area.

After all, he hadn't yet told Li Chengfeng and the others about his departure.

Another half day passed.

With Shen Xi's current strength, even in the wilderness, advancing two to three hundred li a day was effortless.

This was also because the wilderness was full of dangers, and Shen Xi had to slow down; otherwise, he could easily travel a thousand li a day.

Finally, Shen Xi arrived at the Demon Swamp Mining Area.

Just as he was about to enter the Forbidden Ground, he saw Li Chengfeng and the others.

It turned out that Li Chengfeng and his team had been collecting heavenly spirit stones for several days, had gathered quite a bit, and planned to transport the items back to Zhu Feng City first.

“Brother Shen, why are you here?”

Seeing Shen Xi, Li Chengfeng quickly spoke with great excitement.

He genuinely admired and was grateful to Shen Xi.

His admiration was naturally because the other party, at less than twenty years old, could possess such strength.

His gratitude was because, due to Shen Xi's appearance, their fate had changed.

If it weren't for Shen Xi, they would still be living a life on the brink of death, where collecting a single heavenly spirit stone could lead to being killed by a guardian demon spirit.

But now, their lives were much more comfortable.

The number of heavenly spirit stones they collected increased, and the danger decreased. This time, after nearly five days of collecting, they gathered another ten tons of heavenly spirit stones, and not a single person died. This was something they couldn't even have imagined before.

“I just happen to have something to discuss with you all.”

Shen Xi briefly explained what had happened in the past few days.

Upon hearing that Shen Xi had killed Kong Wen, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This was the Captain of the Judgement Squad!

He actually died at Shen Xi's hands.

“Are you saying you're leaving?”

Li Chengfeng asked with some reluctance.

“Yes, it's time for me to go home. As for Zhu Feng City, you don't need to worry. Kong Wen and Ye Zirou will protect your safety, and the Council will not target you.”

“Also, from now on, after collecting heavenly spirit stones, besides your own share, give all the rest to Ye Zirou. I've already negotiated the price with her.”

“As for Chen Fang, if you encounter any problems, go to him. He can help you resolve most troubles.”

Shen Xi earnestly instructed him.

“Then how should I give you the money from the sales?”

Li Chengfeng quickly asked.

This was not a small sum of thousands or tens of thousands; it easily amounted to hundreds of millions.

He wouldn't dare to keep it by his side; the pressure would be too great.

“It's fine, I've arranged with Ye Zirou that she will go to the bank with you and transfer the money to me in front of you.”

In this world, for the convenience of transactions, there were also banks.

Through bank transfers, Shen Xi could receive payments even when he was at home.

“Oh, and if you have any leftover heavenly spirit stones, you can also exchange them for money with Ye Zirou; she will buy an unlimited amount of heavenly spirit stones.”

Shen Xi added.

Beside him, Chu He, who had been silent, finally spoke: “Then if we need any Cultivation Materials, can we also buy them from her?”

“Of course!”

Shen Xi nodded.

He knew that Chu He was a man with a story.

From their first meeting, he had felt the other party's deep desire to become stronger.

However, Shen Xi did not ask the other party; everyone had their own secrets.

After explaining the upcoming matters, Shen Xi did not linger and left directly.

He wished he had wings to fly home immediately... Another three days passed.

Looking at the grand city before him, Shen Xi couldn't contain his excitement.

He was finally home!

Before him was the Twenty-eighth City of the Federal Safety City.

Shen Xi immediately used Meteor Step to accelerate his pace and quickly arrived at the city gate.

However, as soon as he reached the city gate, he felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

At the city gate, there were two fully armed teams of guards, looking solemnly into the distance.

And at the city gate, not a single adventurer could be seen.

This was truly peculiar.

One must know that in this world, every Martial Artist was also an adventurer.

Especially those Martial Artists from humble backgrounds, in order to become stronger, they could only go to the wilderness, collect various resources, and accelerate the improvement of their own strength.

And due to the different geographical locations of different cities, their unique products were also completely different. For example, in Zhu Feng City, heavenly spirit stones were a local specialty, and heavenly spirit stones in other cities almost all came from Zhu Feng City.

Because of this, adventurers would travel to different cities to gather all the Materials they needed.

By the same token, every city, every day, would welcome adventurers from other cities; if not overcrowded, it should at least be bustling with activity.

But why was the Twenty-eighth City completely empty?

“Buddy, why isn't there a single adventurer at the city gate? Did something happen?”

Realizing that something was wrong, Shen Xi went to a guard and asked.

The guard looked at Shen Xi with some surprise: “At a time like this, there are still adventurers coming to the Twenty-eighth City? Are you tired of living?”

Hearing this, Shen Xi became even more certain that his guess was correct, and he quickly pressed on: “What exactly is going on?”

As he spoke, he slipped a copper coin into the guard's hand.

The gatekeeper immediately broke into a bright smile and explained: “It's nothing but that damned Yao Beast tide. According to observations from above, within the next few days, the Twenty-eighth City will face a Yao Beast tide impact. After those adventurers found out about this, they couldn't flee fast enough, so how could they still come?”

Hiss!

Shen Xi couldn't help but gasp.

He hadn't expected to encounter such a situation as soon as he returned home.

A Yao Beast tide, this was no joke.

One must know that once a Yao Beast tide forms, thousands of Yao Beasts will attack the city, and the strength of these Yao Beasts will be at least in the Yuánqì Realm.

Under such circumstances, even those in the Acquired Realm might not survive.
