Chapter 268: #268 - The monk who came across

“…” Although Li Mu didn't understand what Grandpa Demon Bone was saying, he could tell from the other party's trembling voice that the young man standing on the giant wolf's corpse was no simple character.

Ever since he met Grandpa Demon Bone, he had never seen Grandpa Demon Bone look so fearful.

Normally, it always had an arrogant attitude, acting like it was the best in the world. It didn't care about any of the demons it had the pleasure of seeing.

But now, it valued a person so much, and even had a sense of awe.

“Grandpa Demon Bone, are you scared?” Li Mu asked in a low voice. “Didn't you always say how powerful you were? Why are you being such a coward now?”

Li Mu said with a smile, if it were the usual Demon Bone, it would probably have exploded with anger. But at this moment, Demon Bone didn't say anything, but carefully looked at Li Mu and said in a muffled voice: “It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that this person can't be provoked. Besides, with you looking like this, if he sees you, I'm afraid your life will be in danger.”

Demon Bone told Li Mu about the great battle at that time, a battle that shook the heavens and made the ghosts cry.

In that important place called Happy Place, thousands of demons fought against the enemy. In the end, the battle only ended hastily when a divine being appeared in the world and shook the heavens and the earth, causing the place to collapse.

“If Grandpa Demon Bone hadn't been smart, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now.” Grandpa Demon Bone said.

Listening to Demon Bone's words, Li Mu secretly glanced at that man. He had thought that Demon Bone was fearless, but he didn't expect it to be afraid today. But he looked at that person like an ordinary person, with nothing special about him.

“Let's go, stop dawdling. Be careful that that lord catches you and skins you alive, you'll be in for a good time then.” Demon Bone kept urging, and Li Mu also felt that it was time to leave. He didn't want to get involved in too much trouble, the current life was enough for him.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the young man look at him from afar. Li Mu was shocked and quickly hid his figure. After taking a deep breath, he put on his hood and left in a hurry.

That sharp gaze was too powerful, Li Mu only felt cold all over.

Grandpa Demon Bone was right, he should avoid contact with such people.

……

Watching a figure leave in a hurry, Jiang Wen didn't pay much attention. He had only noticed someone peeping and wanted to see who it was. Finding it was a young man, he stopped paying attention.

His gaze then fell on the people in front of him, looking at Jiang Zhi with some surprise.

“You are, Jiang Zhi?” Jiang Wen asked.

“How do you know my name? Who are you?” Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Wen vigilantly, not putting down the Tang Dao in her hand.

“So it really is you.” Jiang Wen said with a sigh. “Don't worry, I don't have any malice towards you. I'm just a little surprised. How did you get here? If I remember correctly, you should be the demon Teng She transformed into, named Chi Yao, and you're already dead. Why are you in this human form again?”

Jiang Zhi was Chi Yao's mortal appearance, and Jiang Wen still had an impression of it. After all, in that battle at the temple, Chi Yao had also transformed into a mortal appearance.

But Chi Yao had already died behind the Gate of Heaven, and it was impossible for her to appear in this world. He and Li Yunshang and others watched Chi Yao die under the flying knife, knowing that Chi Yao could not be resurrected.

But now Chi Yao's original body, Jiang Zhi, is here, so what exactly is going on?

“So you know me?” Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Wen with some surprise. “Chi Yao is indeed another part of me, the current me is just the mortal me.”

Seeing that Jiang Wen seemed to know her, Jiang Zhi told him about her situation. It turned out that after Chi Yao merged with Teng She, she tried every means to shed her human side. She sealed herself in Happy Place, and set a restriction on herself.

If Happy Place hadn't collapsed and everything in the secret realm had been swept into the void, it would have been difficult for Jiang Zhi to wake up from the restriction. As for why Chi Yao did this, she wasn't too sure.

“I came here after I woke up, and then I met them.” Jiang Zhi pointed to Cheng Gang, and calmly confessed everything.

“Since you know that me, you're not here to catch me, are you?”

“I'm not interested in that.” Jiang Wen said. “As long as you abide by the law here, I won't make things difficult for you.”

“Is there anything?” Jiang Wen looked at Cheng Gang in confusion. He had helped out because he saw the situation, it was just a small favor. If he wanted to take this opportunity to threaten him, he wouldn't bother with him.

Cheng Gang seemed to know this too, and respectfully handed over the tablet in his hand: “Junior here has some things, and wants to ask Senior for help. If Senior can help, we will definitely offer a generous reward.”

“Oh? What help?” Jiang Wen asked curiously.

“This person is in Chicheng, Nan Province. According to the information just sent by our colleagues, that person has lost control. They can't do anything about this person, and I hope Senior can help.”

Jiang Wen took the tablet and looked at the information of a certain person on it.

“Jiang Ming, male, 25 years old. From Chicheng, Nan Province. Ten days ago, he suddenly became incredibly strong and could move small cars. His personality has changed greatly compared to the past, and it is suspected to be related to the recent abnormal events.”

Looking at this young man's information, Jiang Wen suddenly had the feeling that this person was probably also a transmigrator.

He carefully looked at the person's profile picture and said with interest, "Alright, I'll take this job."

"Thank you, Senior!" Cheng Gang said gratefully. "Then, should I accompany you?"

"No need." Jiang Wen looked at the few people present, and finally his gaze landed on Jiang Zhi. "Let her come with me."

… …

In a corner of Chicheng in Nan Province, a young man was sitting on the bed with his hands towards the sky.

Faint golden light poured into his body, gathering in his abdomen to form a weak flame.

He opened his eyes and exhaled a white mist.

The white mist shot out several meters, piercing through the wall like a sharp sword.

Looking at the cracked wall, the young man revealed a calm smile.

"Lighting Realm, I have finally achieved it."

Thinking of this, a fierce anger appeared in the young man's eyes.

"A bunch of mortals, daring to deceive and humiliate me. I, Jiang Ming, will repay it a hundredfold."

He remembered fighting demons in the Immortal Sect gathering in Su City, never expecting that when the secret realm collapsed, he would be drawn into the void. He thought he would die, but he never imagined he would survive.

What surprised him even more was that, according to the memories of this body, this world had no cultivators. It was just an ordinary world. Apart from those man-made high-powered weapons, there was no transcendent power.

Although he was just a rogue cultivator in the Life Fire stage before his death, after understanding the situation of this world, Jiang Ming was confident that he could run rampant.

The original owner had a harmonious family and a woman he deeply loved.

However, recently he seemed to have been bullied, and even his woman was implicated.

Jiang Ming inherited the memories of the previous owner, and also inherited his feelings, feeling deeply about it.

He was originally a cultivator, so he naturally looked down on mortals. But thinking about the power of those guns and firearms, he still slightly suppressed his desire for revenge. Now that he has entered the Lighting Realm, ordinary guns are hard to hurt him, now is the time for revenge.

"Zhang Que, the young master of the Zhang family, is it? I will make you wish you were dead!" As he said this, Jiang Ming slammed his hand on the table beside him, shattering it.

Jiang Ming didn't think that anyone in this world could stop him. As a Life Fire cultivator, he would eventually rise above all mortals.

"Ka-吱."

The door was opened, and a beautiful woman walked in, looking somewhat helpless at the broken table on the ground.

"Jiang Ming, the family's situation is already so bad, why are you still so self-destructive? Can't you cheer up?"

Jiang Ming looked at the person who came, knowing that she was working hard for the family, and his heart was filled with emotions.

He said with a serious expression, "Zhu'er, don't worry, we will definitely live well in the future."

The woman named Zhu'er sighed helplessly, rubbed his hair, and said softly, "In the future, let's just live a good life at home, okay? As long as you are safe, I am willing to do anything."

"Don't worry, Zhu'er, I will never mess around again in the future." Jiang Ming thought of the things the original owner had done, and felt quite ashamed.

The two were affectionate for half the night, until the woman was too tired and fell asleep.

Jiang Ming put on his clothes and put her into a deep sleep.

This way she wouldn't wake up in the middle of the night.

By the time it was dawn, he would end everything.

Looking at the sleeping woman, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

A man should have the ambition to kill, and cut down all injustice in the world! As a cultivator, he naturally didn't have the reason to wait overnight for revenge against mortals.

Now that the Lighting Realm has been achieved, how many people in this world can stop him?

Tonight will be the anniversary of that Zhang family dog thing!

Thinking of what Zhang Que had done to them before, Jiang Ming felt unhappy.

He stepped onto the roof in a few steps and looked towards the Zhang's Building in the distance, lit up with lights and wine.

Taking advantage of the dark night, he leaped away.

"Target's movements detected. He has left his home and is moving towards the city center across the rooftops." In a place unknown to Jiang Ming, two plainclothes men watched his figure and spoke into their collars.

"Use drones to track him, and remember not to let him discover your tracks. The order from above is for us to monitor him, as long as there are no problems."

"Understood."

From behind the houses, a black drone flew lightly in the night sky.

An extremely ordinary vehicle drove slowly through the streets and alleys. The display screen in the car showed Jiang Ming's rapidly leaping figure.

"It seems he's going to Zhang's Building. Although I don't know what's going on, we still have to follow closely. The higher-ups are very concerned about him."

The uncle in plain clothes looked enviously at Jiang Ming's light steps.

"No wonder the higher-ups are paying so much attention to this person. Once we master this kind of movement, our combat power will be unimaginable."

"The target has entered Zhang's Group. Team Two, be careful to conceal yourselves," the uncle said, picking up the walkie-talkie.

"Understood, Captain."

He parked the car outside, turned his head to look at the brightly lit building, and leisurely started playing music.

Suddenly, an urgent cry from his subordinates came from the walkie-talkie.

"Captain, something bad has happened! The target broke into the building, and the heir of Zhang's Group was thrown down from the building by him."

"What!"

The uncle sat up in shock, looking at the crowd of onlookers not far away.

He quickly got out of the car and ran towards the crowd.

The Zhang family's power in Chicheng is not small, and Zhang Que is the only son of the Zhang family, so his position in the family can be imagined.

The target they were monitoring actually did such a thing, this trouble is probably not small.

"What do we do now?"

"Let's wait and see for now. Don't bother the higher-ups unless it's absolutely necessary," the uncle said helplessly, taking a deep drag on his cigarette.
