While cutting, the boy couldn't help but look up at Li Zhiyuan outside the array and said:
"Here, it seems there's no one."
Being able to maintain an unchanged expression in such an extrely bloody and cruel scene was already very difficult, but as a Yin God, the boy could feel that the young man's emotions didn't fluctuate in the slightest.
This showed that the young man truly didn't care.
Li Zhiyuan didn't respond, he reached into his own pocket, fished out the last peeled candy, and put it in his mouth.
Now, this candy, he could no longer taste its sweetness, only a faint bitterness.
"Uh..."
Inside the array, the boy's body stiffened.
This body had already deteriorated to a critical point. Even if he had ti left, he couldn't continue to stay.
The boy looked again at Li Zhiyuan outside the array.
The young man raised his hand, just like before when he felt sleepy, and tapped his own forehead.
The boy raised the trident.
"Puchi..."
The three prongs pierced through from the forehead to the nose and then to the mouth, completely penetrating the skull.
Even in the last mont before leaving, the boy added a reversing force to his wrist, causing the trident inserted in the skull to twist around.
Four balls of light flew out from this completely wrecked body, in colors yellow, red, green, and white.
Li Zhiyuan took a deep breath, mustered up his strength, and began spirit walking.
To him, tired ant truly tired, but as long as his nose wasn't bleeding and his eyes weren't blind, his body could still endure.
In the spirit walking vision, the red monkey, the white centipede, the green ox, and the yellow pig were all lying weakly on the ground.
Li Zhiyuan raised his left hand, and the four ghost carriers appeared.
They were already extrely weak, and now Li Zhiyuan imposed another layer of suppression on them.
The sedan chair tilted, focusing the pressure on the pig.
After finishing, Li Zhiyuan retracted the array, and a gust of wind blew through, erasing all traces.
Li Zhiyuan walked over to those four.
At this mont, Deng Chen ca out from the shop.
Li Zhiyuan looked at him with a detached gaze.
Even though he trusted this black python, one could never be sure if others might be tempted, especially when massive interests were at stake, they might even take desperate risks.
The young man was too lazy to test the snake's nature, he only hoped his gaze and aura would serve as a warning: I'm very tired, but I still have enough power to suppress you, this snake.
Deng Chen stopped in his tracks, unafraid.
This indicated that he had no intention of playing with fire.
Deng Chen asked, "Do you want that seal sketch?"
"Sketch?"
"The seal consists of a divine diagram and a sketch. The complete divine diagram was already broken by that Dragon King of the Qin family long ago, and each of the five separated parts retains a portion of the draft."
Li Zhiyuan understood Deng Chen's aning now. To make an inappropriate analogy, the divine diagram is like a painting, while the sketch is like a stamp on the painting, applied by the one who sealed it, akin to an author's note in a book's opening.
Deng Chen continued, "Today is the first ti we've encountered each other since being smashed into five pieces, so none of us five know the exact content of that sketch."
"But I suspect it contains information about the one who applied the seal, which you might want to know, it might be useful to you."
Li Zhiyuan: "So, do you need to rge it?"
"No, no, no!" Deng Chen was genuinely frightened, his eyes nearly bulging out, "I don't dare, I wouldn't, I'm not a pig."
If he was misunderstood by the other party as having the sa intention, it would be a death sentence for him.
"Then what should we do?"
"I just need to get a bit closer, and I can piece together the sketch."
"Then go ahead."
"Okay, alright."
Deng Chen took a few more steps forward and then closed his eyes.
Li Zhiyuan was still in the state of spirit walking, so he could see a black python crawl out from Deng Chen's body, circle around the four spirit beasts he suppressed, and after a round, a crystal flew out from each spirit beast and was swallowed by the two ends of the black python.
Then, the black python returned to Deng Chen's body.
Deng Chen opened his eyes.
Li Zhiyuan: "And the sketch?"
Deng Chen pointed at his own eyes: "It's in my eyes, should I go wash it out for you to see?"
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
Deng Chen imdiately ran into the photo studio.
Li Zhiyuan knew, this photo studio owner had always feared him.
When they first t, he helped take photos, and during the photo developnt, he was likely already terrified.
When they previously joined forces against the pig, his fear should've diminished significantly, but now that everything was settled, his fear was even greater.
Because he knew he was no longer needed, used up, and the most straightforward action would be to eliminate him too.
This would align with the usual conduct of righteous individuals. It's not that righteous individuals are inherently violent, but such actions could be justified as 'slaying demons and evildoers for rit', and killing innocents could also be seen as rit.
Moreover, it would lessen one's own karma, for letting it go would an any future misdeeds by it would also be attributable to oneself.
Li Zhiyuan walked over to the pig, which was now extrely weak, looking up at him with a gaze that was both dumb and adorable.
It used the last ounce of its strength to send 'words' to him:
"I can help you... calculate against the Heavenly Dao too."
Li Zhiyuan nodded.
He acknowledged, the pig did have this ability.
Seeing this, the pig's mouth split into a fawning grin.
Li Zhiyuan bent down, gently patted the pig's head, and said:
