9: Ghost Market will open

Li Wuji told Shadow to destroy the Martial Security Bureau's video information and any information about them. After all, if this information were to spread, it wouldn't be good news.

"You continue to use the sub-ants to monitor the Martial Security Bureau's movements!"

"Yes!"

Immediately after, Li Wuji looked at Luo Xiu. This situation had happened with him before.

That time, Luo Xiu and Galan had an intense battle. Fortunately, even when Luo Xiu was out of control, he was absolutely obedient to Li Wuji's commands.

"You should rest. During this time, focus on stabilizing your strength and practicing the ""Vajra Body Tempering Fist""!"

"Yes!"

Over the next few days, Li Wuji lived a normal life. During this period, Li Mingxuan broke through to the Martial Artist Realm.

Yue Shan also broke through. However, his Breakthrough only caused a negligible increase in the spiritual power within Li Wuji's body and his physical strength.

"Master, the Martial Security Bureau has transferred over a hundred people from the two surrounding cities, including two Martial Master Realm powerhouses.

Moreover, they seem to have investigated you and Li Mingxuan, but it's only preliminary suspicion. They might send two people to observe."

Li Wuji was the first witness to the person Luo Xiu suddenly killed, and that person had some connection to Lin Junfeng's family.

Furthermore, Lin Junfeng's son, Lin Kaijie, is in the same school as Li Mingxuan and there are some entanglements between them, so it's normal for them to think of himself and Li Mingxuan.

But Li Wuji just smiled slightly, because he knew the other party definitely had no evidence.

"Ignore them. How are things with what I asked you to investigate?"

"Master, I have found information regarding the Ghost Market. It is located southeast of the suburban area and will open in seven days."

The Ghost Market exists not only in Mingde City but in various other places. However, it doesn't open at any time; it only opens once every six months.

Everything is sold inside: demon beast cubs, spiritual herbs, elixirs, weapons, and Martial Skills – everything you can imagine.

Because the prices are much cheaper than official sources and there are many more types, and because the location of the event is not fixed, and all participants hide their identities, it is called the Ghost Market.

Li Wuji had learned about it by chance before and had been there once through a stroke of luck. That time, he gained a great deal, and it was from then on that he truly began to rise.

"Master, there is one more thing I would like to mention."

"What is it?"

Li Wuji raised an eyebrow, "Is it about Mingxuan?"

"Yes, Master, Li Mingxuan seems to have been targeted. The aura on the other party is very different, it doesn't seem human."

"Doesn't seem human? What is their strength?"

"Their strength is not high, around the fifth or sixth level of the Martial Artist Realm."

"Then keep an eye on them for now, and try your best to find the person behind this!"

"Understood."

Outside Mingde City, within the Xingyue Forest, a peculiar praying mantis standing two meters tall was fighting against a three to four meter tall Explosive Savage Bear.

This divine-looking praying mantis was undoubtedly a Zerg warrior meticulously compiled by Li Wuji, with the serial number 002, named "Blade of Destruction" - Galan!

In terms of aura alone, both had reached the peak of the Martial Warrior Realm. Their fierce clash caused the surrounding trees to fall.

At this moment, the Explosive Savage Bear was covered in blood, its sturdy hide armor soaked in blood, and its injuries were quite severe.

"Roar~" Accompanied by a roar from the Explosive Savage Bear, a thin layer of bloody mist began to rise from its body.

This mist quickly covered its entire body, as if dressing it in a mysterious battle armor, and at the same time, a frantic and violent aura permeated its surroundings.

However, facing such a change, Galan on the opposite side showed no fear at all, but rather revealed a few hints of uncontrollable excitement.

Her sharp double blades, which seemed meticulously crafted, began to silently accumulate power, as if they could launch a fatal blow at any moment.

At this moment, the Explosive Savage Bear's eyes shone with a frantic crimson light, and its body was constantly expanding, its muscles so tense they almost ripped its hide armor, making it look exceptionally hideous and terrifying.

Galan, however, did not retreat in the slightest. A cold light flickered in her eyes.

She wielded her extraordinarily long double blades, which were as long as her body, launching an attack with the force of thunder. The Explosive Savage Bear seemed to sense the crisis of death and began to roar incessantly.

As time passed, the bloody mist became denser, and the Explosive Savage Bear's body gradually entered a berserk state.

The power generated every time it attacked was so awe-inspiring it felt as though it could shake the heavens and earth, sending shivers down one's spine.

In contrast, Galan seemed completely unaffected. Her figure remained agile and graceful, and every dodge was precise and flawless, reaching the pinnacle of perfection.

At this moment, Galan's body suddenly trembled, and a powerful and unparalleled aura surged out from within her.

Her double blades emitted a dazzling cold light, as if possessing the power to pierce through everything, seemingly wanting to shatter all of the Explosive Savage Bear's defenses in one go.

Immediately afterward, Galan leaped up without warning, her massive and destructive forelimbs descending like Mount Tai crushing an egg towards the Explosive Savage Bear.

Facing such a fierce blow, the Explosive Savage Bear roared in anger, gathering all the strength in its body onto its right fist, directly meeting Galan's attack head-on.

In an instant, two earth-shattering forces collided in mid-air, erupting with a terrifying bang.

For a time, the surrounding space seemed to freeze, with only the flying dust and smoke bearing witness to this astonishing confrontation...

When the smoke and dust cleared, the Explosive Savage Bear had fallen to the ground, deep wounds visible on the hide armor of its chest, as if they were about to pierce completely through it.

Galan was still standing in place. Although she had some injuries on her body, she was clearly not significantly affected.

"I can break through now. I can't keep Master waiting. Sand Flow Squad, I'll be there soon."

A cold voice echoed through the forest, followed by the sound of chewing.

······

"Brother, I'm going out!"

Li Mingxuan finished his meal in a hurry and was about to leave, but Li Wuji called out to him.

"Going out so late? Are you going on a date?" Li Wuji teased, with an ambiguous smile on his face. Li Mingxuan was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes.

"Brother, where are you thinking? The college entrance exam is coming up soon, I'm just going out for a walk to relax."

"Hahaha, take this!"

Li Wuji smiled and took out a card. "There's one hundred thousand in there. Take it and buy a Martial Skill or a weapon."

"Brother, no need, I..."

"Hmm?"

Li Mingxuan wanted to refuse, but seeing Li Wuji's gaze, he swallowed his words.

Seeing this, Li Wuji smiled. "This was originally the money to buy you spiritual liquid. Since you broke through early, you can arrange it yourself."

"Brother!"

"Go on, remember to come back early!"

Li Mingxuan was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly. "Okay, Brother, you should rest early too!"

Li Wuji waved his hand, and only then did Li Mingxuan leave the house.

As the door closed, two figures appeared in front of Li Wuji. These were none other than Shadow and Luo Xiu.

"Master!"

"How is the investigation into Leng Qingying and the forces behind her progressing?"
