Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 353 - 137: Yama of Ghost Street, Layers of Traps, Breaking Out of the Game
Lady Yan thought for a long time and said, "Then... should I sneak into the Zhong Mansion at night and wipe them out?
And then, any stranger who dares come to Ghost Street, I’ll kill them...
After all, none of them can touch me. Anyone who touches me, Feng’Er, and the vendors will kill them.
Although they might use other ghosts against me, provoking other evil ghosts in the process, a night assault to reduce their numbers is better than confronting them head-on."
Li Yuan paused.
He hadn’t realized Sister Yan’s approach was so wild.
"Sister Yan, this won’t work."
Li Yuan rejected the idea.
Because this way, Lady Yan would be throwing herself right into the frontline without any retreat.
Seeing the killing intent around Lady Yan growing stronger, Li Yuan quickly said, "Let me think for a moment."
With that, he sat cross-legged on the ground, contemplating.
The current situation was one where they originally knew nothing and felt safe, but now, realizing the crisis was imminent... if not handled, it would be like boiling a frog in warm water, and by the time the water boiled, the frog would have no strength to jump out.
"Just kill them directly."
Lady Yan’s voice was cold, chilling.
Li Yuan gave her a deep look and suddenly said, "Sister Yan, you’ve been influenced by ghosts.
All ghosts react with violence to a single touch... without regard to the opponent’s strength.
Only humans understand how to avoid danger while seeking benefits."
Lady Yan remained silent and said, "My husband, I will listen to you. What do you want to do?"
Li Yuan stood up, pacing back and forth for a long while.
He asked, "Sister Yan, you said if you fused with a ghost domain from another path, you could take this opportunity to relocate, right?"
Lady Yan nodded.
Li Yuan said, "When the time is right, I’ll take you out of here."
"Where to?"
"Cloud Mountain Path, a barren place beyond the world."
The situation is getting more chaotic, and Divine Wood Hall is no longer a place to stay for long. Li Yuan decided to exchange a large amount of resources with Blood Gold and then relocate his entire family.
Otherwise, he would face a battle on multiple fronts.
Not only would there be a battle between Divine Wood Hall and martial artists of the Black Lotus Sect, but also a battle in the Ghost Realm, requiring him to run around and fight fiercely, entangled in extremely complex interpersonal relationships, alliances, and facing various enemies and unexpected events.
Unless he was very lucky and happened to upgrade;
Or had an extraordinary opportunity to suddenly obtain exactly the treasure he needed;
Or increased his strength just before the big battle, enough to cope with enemies slightly stronger than him;
Or his otherwise smart enemies suddenly became foolish and made mistakes themselves...
Otherwise, both he and Lady Yan would surely die.
"Trees die when transplanted, people thrive when relocated.
We’ll get out, then... whether it’s exploiting crisis or taking advantage of chaos.
In short, don’t stay within this game to become someone else’s pawn, or engage in head-on collisions."
Li Yuan turned, placing his hands on Lady Yan’s shoulders, and said, "Sister Yan, we have to pretend we don’t know anything, but when the time is right, we’ll disappear immediately."
"Hmm... I’ll follow your lead..." Lady Yan suppressed the icy killing impulse within her, knowing... it was an evil ghost’s instinct.
...
...
Subsequently, Li Yuan tugged the Thousand-Mile in a Line.
This line was tied to Yu Chaoyin on one end and Yaojue on the other.
He returned to the courtyard within the Divine Wood Hall Inner City and looked at Cui Huayin and Yaojue.
Both were diligently cultivating, aiming to break through to Seventh Grade and into Sixth Grade.
Li Yuan then woke his still sleeping daughter, holding her soft little hand as he walked onto the street.
Behind him and around him were many experts from Divine Wood Hall following him secretly. These experts were there to protect him, but to some extent, they also formed a kind of surveillance.
On the street...
"Master Li, good morning."
"Master Li, out for a walk, huh."
Many greeted him.
Li Yuan responded with a smile and took Xiaozhao into a busy breakfast shop.
A sign that read "Zhenwei House" hung over the shop.
The shop was already filled with many people, all residents beyond the First Gate.
Because of the Inner City of Divine Wood Hall, the residents here hardly lacked money.
And upon seeing Li Yuan arrive, the residents all turned their attention to him, with some hurriedly making room at the side, saying, "Master Li, good morning."
Li Yuan led Xiaozhao to sit down.
Immediately someone next to them exclaimed, "Master Li’s daughter is really beautiful."
Xiaozhao, unaccustomed to such compliments, blushed slightly.
Li Yuan chuckled and began discussing with his daughter, ordering the local specialties "Spirit Flower Cake" and "Hundred Mushroom Bun," and also ordered a basket of soup dumplings, starting their leisurely breakfast.
Soon, breakfast was served.
Xiaozhao ate obediently, mumbling, "Daddy, this is so good, I want to eat this next time too."
Li Yuan saw it was a soup dumpling.
These soup dumplings from Divine Wood Hall were quite distinctive, because of the frequent planting of spirit flowers and herbs, the secret "broth" in the dumplings contained an incredibly savory mix of flowers and herbs, a taste not found elsewhere.
He laughed, "Sure, we can eat as much as we want since we’ll be staying here."
He said this so naturally, making sure everyone could hear.
Xiaozhao, without much complex thought, just continued to eat with gusto.
Her eyes, painted by Lady Yan herself, while unable to see, blinked naturally.
In truth, her real sight was with her hair, as her crows were condensed within her hair, making her hair act as her eyes, with many, many eyes.
Li Yuan waved over, calling out, "Boss, another basket of soup dumplings please."
