Chapter 137

"I, Abdomen, have been crippled. The sect can't accept me, and I won't go back. Senior brother, please let me go. I'm not a threat to you at all."

Zi Chen's eyes flashed coldly. Liu Liu's tears were falling like rain as he begged.

"I've done everything senior brother asked me to do. I only hope that senior brother will spare my life. I'm already a cripple, and I have no fate with cultivators. However, I don't want to die. The sect doesn't raise idlers. Ordinary people will be kicked out."

Liu Liu cried and complained. He was very pitiful.

Zi Chen frowned and fell into deep thought. He seemed to be hesitating.

During this period of time, Liu Liu had testified against many people. Back then, Zi Chen was afraid that he would lie, so he asked before he attacked. However, there was no doubt that those people were evil.

It could be said that Liu Liu was very responsible and did his best.

"Senior Brother, I've already been crippled. I can't do evil anymore. I'm just a mortal. Senior Brother, please let me go." Seeing Zi Chen hesitate, Liu Liu begged again. He lowered his voice and put on a humble front.

"Alright!"

After a long time, Zi Chen sighed and said, "Be a good mortal in the future. Don't do evil anymore. Here are some Yuan Stone fragments. Take them for your future use."

After hesitating, Zi Chen decided to let him go. If it was in the past, he would kill Liu Liu without hesitation. However, after such a long time, Liu Liu had done his best for him. If he killed him now, it wouldn't be right.

"Thank you senior brother, thank you senior brother!" Liu Liu was very grateful. He kowtowed again and again and took the Yuan Stone fragments.

"Alright, farewell. We'll never meet again."

Zi Chen's voice was indifferent. He was already far away, turning into a flash of lightning and disappearing.

He left in a carefree manner.

"Never meet again. Thank you senior brother for not killing me."

Liu Liu took the Yuan Stone and stood up from the ground. He wiped away the tears on his face. His expression was still grateful.

He didn't run away quickly. Instead, he walked slowly, neither fast nor slow.

"What a pity. He was originally a cultivator, but now, he has become a mortal. However, even mortals have mortal lives. The lives of mortals may not necessarily be worse compared to cultivators."

Liu Liu looked up to the skies, his eyes brimming with vitality. He placed the primal stones in his chest, as if he were holding onto hope. It was as if he was already experiencing how he could use these primal stones to earn his first fortune in life.

From now on, Liu Liu would have no fate with cultivators. For the rest of his life, there would only be two words, and that was to make money.

When he was hungry, he would eat some dry food. When he was thirsty, he would drink some water. Other than the muttering at the beginning, he did not say anything else. He just walked forward as if hope was right in front of him.

He left for two days.

Two days later, Liu Liu came to an open area. He could see hundreds of meters away. It was very empty, and there was no one around.

"Haha!"

The light of hope in his eyes dissipated. Liu Liu suddenly threw his head back and laughed heartily. His laughter spread far and wide, scaring away some birds.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter reverberated in the empty space. It was filled with grief, anger, and hatred, but there was no hint of happiness.

At this moment, there was no hope in Liu Liu's eyes. There was only despair.

As he laughed, tears flowed out of Liu Liu's eyes. This time, they flowed slowly, very slowly. There were only two drops, but they came from his heart. It was as if his soul was crying.

He put away his smile and his expression became ferocious. His eyes were filled with a murderous red light. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zi Chen, it's you who harmed me."

Liu Liu's heart was filled with anger. Zi Chen humiliated him, crippled him, and turned him into a mortal. From now on, he would no longer be able to call the wind and summon the rain. He would no longer have the means to do whatever he wanted.

In the future, he would be an ant in the eyes of others. He would be disdained, an existence that could be trampled to death at will.

His heart was filled with hatred, but he had been enduring. Before, in order to survive, he had done his best to work for Zi Chen. There was nothing to hide about this matter. If he had fallen into such a state, then others would not have it easy.

Thus, he racked his brains and thought of all the bad things he had done. He had bullied men and women, but they were still free and unfettered. He had asked Zi Chen to destroy them. On the one hand, it was to report to his superiors. On the other hand, it was because he thought that if he had a hard time, they would also have a hard time.

After enduring and betraying, he finally got his reward. Under his bitter begging, Zi Chen let him go.

"Zi Chen, you may have let me go, but I don't intend to let you go. My entire life has been ruined. Do you think I will be grateful to you just because you gave me a few Yuan Stone Fragments? Ptui, I don't care."

Liu Liu's expression was ferocious. He muttered to himself, his eyes full of hatred.

"I'm a cripple, an ant in the eyes of cultivators. But Zi Chen, don't be happy. You won't have it easy either. I can't kill you, and I'm not a threat to you. But there are too many threats to you. The Martial Ancestor, the Zhan Martial Ancestor, Yunxia City, the Heavenly Slayer Pavilion, haha!"

Liu Liu laughed again, as if he had lost control. The veins on his neck bulged as he roared, "Zi Chen, I'll kill you."

The anger in his heart needed to be vented. At this moment, Liu Liu was like this. He urgently needed to vent. Moreover, there was no one around, so no one could hear him.

"I'll tell the Martial Ancestor that you killed all those disciples. I'll send a message to the Martial Ancestor that you're still alive."

Liu Liu was crying and laughing at the same time. His emotions were extremely abnormal.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't notice that a figure had appeared behind him without making a sound.

"I thought you could endure for a few more days." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Liu Liu. The voice was indifferent, like an ancient well.

But it was this indifferent voice that made Liu Liu's body tremble. It was as if an electric current had passed through his body. His whole body froze in an instant, and he immediately woke up from his half-crazy state.

"Zi Chen!"

Liu Liu was like a robot. He slowly turned around. His expression was indescribable. Then, he saw that familiar face. They had only been apart for two days.

Zi Chen. Behind him was Zi Chen.

Black clothes, black pants, black hair, black eyes, black skin. He was a black kid.

"Senior brother, why are you here?"

Liu Liu's expression changed again and again. After a few changes, it finally turned into astonishment, as if he was very surprised.

"I'm waiting for you to betray me."

Zi Chen replied indifferently. He quietly looked at the other party. His eyes were too calm. Liu Liu had a bad feeling. From Zi Chen's eyes, he seemed to see a word.

Death!

"Senior brother, it's a misunderstanding. I'm just complaining!"

Liu Liu's expression changed again. Tears fell down. His whole body fell to the ground with a plop, and he kept begging. He was very pitiful.

"Senior brother, you mustn't misunderstand. This is just a momentary complaint. Before this, I did my best for you. Almost all the bad guys were dealt with."

"Senior brother, you mustn't kill me!"

Liu Liu was really scared. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, making thumping sounds.

Zi Chen looked at Liu Liu. His eyes were calm, and his voice was indifferent. "You're really good at enduring. You're really shrewd. Unfortunately, you've become a mortal. Otherwise, you'll definitely be someone in the future."

Zi Chen's words were a little regretful. At the same time, he was glad that he was stronger than the other party. All the schemes and tricks in front of absolute strength were useless.

If they were equal in strength, he would be the one to die if he met Liu Liu again.

"Zi Chen, don't f * cking pretend to be virtuous. You're also a real villain. You actually followed me for two days. I've underestimated you. This time, I miscalculated. If there's a next life, I'll naturally kill you."

Looking at Zi Chen's appearance and hearing Zi Chen's words, Liu Liu simply stopped pretending and stood up directly.

"I, Liu Liu, am not very talented, but I can reach this step. It's not because of any fortuitous encounter, but because of scheming. It's a pity that you appeared halfway. Otherwise, after I killed Zhang Shui, Senior Brother Lingyun would see me in a new light. The opportunity would naturally come, but everything was ruined by your hands."

"I hate it. I thought that you were just a brat who just came out of the pugilistic world, without any shrewdness. I thought that you were just a little pitiful and superfluous. But I never thought that you'd be so shrewd. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so careless. I'll hide for a week, a month, a year, and then I'll testify against you and let you die!"

Liu Liu, who had torn off his disguise, was extremely rude. Anyway, he didn't have much life left.

"It's a pity that you won't have the chance."

Zi Chen was still calm. But whether his heart was the same as his expression, only he knew.

Liu Liu fell into a pool of blood. Zi Chen left, not letting him go.

This incident gave Zi Chen a deeper understanding of this continent. Kindness could be shown, but it didn't have to be shown all the time. Sometimes, when it was time to be ruthless, he must not hesitate.

Even if he killed the wrong person, he wouldn't let them go. Everything was for the sake of profit.

At this moment, Zi Chen seemed to think of Zhao Can. Zhao Can had told him this principle, but Zi Chen didn't fully understand it.

As long as it was profitable and beneficial to oneself, it was something worth doing.

Cangli City was a big city, as famous as Yunxia City.

In the southern region, Cangli City was one of the seven famous cities.

The southern region was infinitely vast, almost without beginning or end. Even Zephyr Realm experts wouldn't dare to say that they could travel through the entire region. Some people guessed that there should be many forces outside the seven major cities, but no one said it out loud. Everything was just speculation.

And some mortals could only talk about a few major cities when eating because it was impossible for them to travel through all seven cities in their lifetime.

Cangli City's walls were dozens of meters high and more than ten meters wide. They were completely black. This was originally a kind of solid black stone, but after years of precipitation, the black stone had traces of white. Looking from afar, it looked like an ancient giant beast crawling on the ground.

This was an ancient city that had existed for more than ten thousand years. In this city, who knew how many heroes' names were passed down.

The four city gates were incomparably wide, enough to accommodate eight carriages side by side. At each gate, there was an endless stream of people.
