"How is this possible..."

These were Wuligu's last words before he fell to his knees and collapsed to the ground in the next instant.

With eyes wide open in fury, filled with unwillingness, Wuligu took his last breath.

At the Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm, he was far too weak, so weak that he hadn't even cultivated a wisp of essential energy. Once his physical body was killed, that was the end. He wouldn't be like a true Immortal, whose spirit remains even if the flesh perishes.

Li Xiaoyao retracted his Precious Sword, his face somewhat pale.

In fact, he could have killed Wuligu in a much simpler way, but he chose not to do so.

Controlling the Precious Sword with his mind could, to some extent, deter Wuligu. This method was more intimidating.

Clutching the Precious Sword, Li Xiaoyao walked over to Wuligu's side, his thoughts quickly sweeping over the body before he squatted down, grabbed his right hand, and removed a translucent jade ring from his ring finger.

"This jade ring seems a bit different," Li Xiaoyao observed the ring closely, his expression changing instantly as his mind penetrated the ring.

"There's a whole other dimension within this jade ring!" Li Xiaoyao, encountering a Storage Ring for the first time, was shocked by the space inside it.

"Could this be a Storage Ring?" Having read novels about cultivation, Li Xiaoyao naturally knew that there was a type of treasure named the Storage Ring.

Many might not know what Storage Ring truly means.

"Storage" refers to "Mount Meru in a mustard seed," the notion that something tiny could contain something as vast as Mount Meru.

This is the origin of the name "Storage Ring."

Li Xiaoyao had always thought that Storage Rings were no more than fictitious creations, but to his astonishment, he found one on Wuligu's person.

This was a truly delightful surprise.

Now that Wuligu was dead, the Storage Ring was masterless. Li Xiaoyao bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the ring.

As soon as the blood touched the Storage Ring, it was absorbed.

"Ding!"

A crisp sound echoed in Li Xiaoyao's mind.

Li Xiaoyao was overjoyed, feeling that from this moment on, the Storage Ring was his.

There were many items inside the Storage Ring, all neatly categorized.

Actually, the Storage Ring wasn't of great importance to Li Xiaoyao, for he possessed the System Space.

And the System Space was almost infinitely large; even an elephant could be comfortably placed inside it.

Still, the feeling of acquiring new items was very pleasant.

Leaning against the car, Li Xiaoyao closed his eyes, his consciousness delving into the Storage Ring, browsing through the contents as if window-shopping.

Inside the Storage Ring were several Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques, but these held little allure for Li Xiaoyao.

What Martial Arts or Cultivation Techniques in this world could compare to the System?

He casually set these aside and suddenly, something caught Li Xiaoyao's eye.

"What's this..."

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, and in the palm of his hand now lay a greenish stone.

The stone was irregularly shaped, with edges and facets.

From the stone, Li Xiaoyao sensed strands of rich Spiritual Energy.

"A stone containing Spiritual Energy? Could this be the legendary Spirit Stone?"

Today's surprises were too many, first the Storage Ring and now the Spirit Stone, one after another.

Just as Li Xiaoyao was marveling at the unexpected acquisition of the Spirit Stone, the System's emotionless voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"System detected a Spirit Stone, automatic upgrade will commence!"

"What?"

"Upgrade?"

Li Xiaoyao was startled, not understanding what necessary connection there was between detecting a Spirit Stone and an upgrade.

"Uh, System, why do you need to upgrade?" Li Xiaoyao tried to communicate with the System.

The System responded in a cold tone, "The System has detected the appearance of a Spirit Stone in this plane, thus an upgrade is necessary."

Well, that didn't exactly answer my question.

I guess if it's going to upgrade, there's no stopping it. Li Xiaoyao had no way to interfere anyway.

"How long will the upgrade take?" Li Xiaoyao asked a crucial question.

The System replied, "Twelve hours."

That meant twenty-four hours, quite a long time indeed.

But on second thought, he didn't usually need the System for anything in his daily life, so a long time was just fine, he supposed.

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes, stepped down from the car, and with a glance saw the girl faint on the ground. After hesitating for a few seconds, he waved his hand and took the girl with him as he left.

Minutes later, at the front of the South City Police Station, a girl appeared out of thin air and was left outside the police station door. At the same time, someone knocked loudly on the station's door.

The duty officer hurried out quickly, looked around at the entrance, and saw no one. He became somewhat annoyed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Who the fuck dares to mess around at the police station?" Just as he was about to turn back to check the surveillance, the duty officer glanced down and seemed to sense something was amiss. On closer inspection, he found a girl lying on the ground.

…

After Li Xiaoyao and the others left, Cheng Dongliang remained uneasily on edge.

He felt as if something significant was going to happen that night.

The words Li Xiaoyao left behind seemed to carry a deeper meaning.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Cheng Dongliang's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"What's the matter so late at night?"

"A Land Rover Range Rover has been found on the back hill, with a body next to the car. Upon identification, the deceased is Wuligu," the voice on the phone conveyed no emotion.

"Wuligu is dead?" Cheng Dongliang clenched the cup in his right hand tightly, and the cup immediately turned into a handful of dust.

…

Ling Ziyun returned to his place in Ling City with the college girl he kept, and after a bout of intimacy, he leaned back against the headrest of the bed.

"Buzz~"

The phone on the bedside table vibrated. Seeing the caller, Ling Ziyun raised his eyebrows—it was a call from the Immortal Master Wuli.

Why would Immortal Master Wuli call him so late?

"Immortal Master Wuli, hello," Ling Ziyun greeted respectfully.

"Hello, I'm from the Ling City Bureau. The owner of this phone has died, and we have contacted you through the phone call records. We hope you can come to the city bureau to assist in the investigation… Beep Beep~ Beep Beep~"

Ling Ziyun immediately hung up the phone, his complexion turned to one of sheer panic with sweat beading on his forehead. Explore more adventures at empire

The Immortal Master Wuli is dead?

Even Immortal Master Wuli had died!

Without needing to ponder, Ling Ziyun could guess that it must have been Li Xiaoyao who killed the Immortal Master Wuli.

There could be no second person.

He is a demon, a true demon.

Immortal Master Wuli's cultivation level had reached the Condensing Qi Bone Refining Realm, and in Ling City, he could practically do as he wished, but even such a formidable figure had no chance to fight back when facing Li Xiaoyao.

Ling Ziyun frantically got out of bed and quickly got dressed.

Seeing this, the college girl on the bed also became flustered and asked, "Is it your wife coming over?"

Ling Ziyun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, she's coming over. Hurry up and get dressed, I'll send you away."

At this moment, the only thought in Ling Ziyun's mind was to leave Ling City immediately, the further the better. It would be best if he never saw Li Xiaoyao again in his lifetime.
