Shuttling continuously through the shadows, Tao Yu allowed the Shadow Force to cleanse any traces that might have adhered to him.
After taking a long detour, Tao Yu barely made it ho before dawn and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really should do this less often. A straight-arrow like isn’t cut out for such deeds; it leaves feeling unsettled."
Reflecting on the series of events from the night, Tao Yu felt a touch of lancholy.
He then decided not to sleep, uncertain when word of last night’s events would reach him. He would check the task hall when the ti ca.
"Co back soon, little rich girl, I’ve got all sorts of goodies for you."
Tao Yu muttered to himself and then picked up his watch to make his routine inquiry.
When he visited the task hall yesterday, he had left a ssage for Panda and Jack to report the situation back to the big boss.
He wondered...
"I’m back, and it was pretty quick this ti. Have you dealt with the Fortune Thief?"
Upon hearing the cheerful voice of the wealthy young lady, Tao Yu felt a surge of joy but suppressed the thrill and reported in a normal tone,
"It’s been taken care of. The Fortune Thief who practiced Thunder thod might have been severely injured by you or Lord Han Ya. I managed to ambush and kill him, and even absorbed his thunder magic tool that he dropped."
Tao Yu spoke earnestly.
Although it was the most basic model that had dropped, others didn’t know that.
I wouldn’t use the "Yin-Yang Five Elents Divine Thunder" casually, but various types of common Thunder thods are perfectly presentable and usual tactics.
"Very well, set your location, and I’ll co to get you..."
...
"Such a rewarding drop. They truly are not weak. You’ve grown much stronger."
Sun Shiyu looked at Tao Yu in the study, reaching out to touch his cheek with a smile and eyes that curved into crescents, like a little fox.
"My judgnt was indeed correct~"
"My judgnt wasn’t bad either," Tao Yu replied with a chuckle, burying his head in Sun Shiyu’s chest, twisting and suckling fiercely. Ah, this was the taste he craved so much...
"Alright, it should be Han Ya who ended up dead at their hands, and we’ve already avenged him."
Sun Shiyu seed slightly ticklish and giggled as she playfully tapped Tao Yu’s head, effectively closing the case.
The Suns surely owed an explanation to Han Ya’s family, but Han Ya was a subordinate of the Suns after all, and that should suffice for an explanation.
If the Fortune Thief was the killer and vengeance had been claid, that settled it.
Who can you bla for not mastering your art?
To offer an explanation was just the Suns’ magnanimity!
"However, from what I managed to pry from their mouths, they have collaborators in the Developnt Zone. I just don’t know who."
Tao Yu shared this piece of information with a serious tone.
Sun Shiyu, however, didn’t seem concerned.
"Isn’t that normal? Otherwise, they couldn’t have evaded capture for so long. No matter, strength will always be the strongest support. They are just shades and monsters that can’t stand the light of day."
The slightly dominant comnt from the young wealthy lady made Tao Yu pause, but he found himself in agreent.
Indeed, otherwise they wouldn’t have to skulk about surreptitiously.
"By the way, although Shi Jian didn’t finish speaking when I killed him, they probably have other teams that are even stronger, just probably not active nearby."
Tao Yu ntioned the ’be careful of Ace...’ warning he had received.
At this, Sun Shiyu paused but then nodded,
"There are indeed others, but they likely aren’t nearby. After exchanging information with other new Developnt Zones in different cities, it seems to be a common phenonon. Theft Operatives in their area seem to enjoy engaging in similar activities, and most importantly, their Reincarnators don’t really care about these things."
Explorers in the old Developnt Zones take the initiative to guide Fortune Thieves, tying them down with interests, except for a few extre cases.
Because Chosen Ones often have various moral scruples that aren’t applicable everywhere, but Fortune Thieves are different; anyone offering benefits is welcod as a mother.
So of the unruly, extre Fortune Thieves who had been killed produced a deterrent effect, akin to killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. In fact, Fortune Thieves were often more savvy about the timing of things than the Chosen Ones.
"The World Will of that world is slightly different from ours; it seems to regularly assign them random missions with rewards. The world level is very high, so the Reincarnators are used to not caring about things outside their missions, unless there’s a benefit to them. They also don’t care about the subjugation of these sub-worlds.
It seems they have an abundance of them, as the sa world could be pulled into different periods multiple tis..."
At this point, Sun Shiyu pressed her temples.
Although the new Developnt Zone hasn’t yet made contact with those guys, they’re actually not that easy to deal with.
So far, the initial contact between both sides is still in the probing stage, but in the end, it’s certainly the strength that will do the talking.
Even with cooperation, there has to be equivalent strength; otherwise, it’s just a master-servant relationship.
"How is your Inner Strength now?"
"Not bad."
As Sun Shiyu spoke, she casually struck towards Tao Yu with an Empty Sky Palm Strike, her Inner Strength already showing significant effectiveness.
However, for her, it was rely an embellishnt to try out. Clearly, she hadn’t invested much Yuan Force in Acceleration.
Then, Tao Yu took out the Sword Canon of rcy he had acquired from Shi Feixuan.
"This is one of the four great legendary books in the Martial World 03. It outclasses the other martial arts manuals we have scraped together. You can try it, it should help you more easily form your own domain. I’ll explain it to you and help you transform your True Qi..."
Tao Yu’s smile gradually turned sinister...
...
"Your Technique really is effective; the transformation went very smoothly. I’ve already mastered the Skill, which can integrate spiritual power. I should be able to advance to the Domain stage ahead of ti. This is of great value."
Sun Shiyu tidied her hair, revealing her beautiful back.
But at that mont, Tao Yu was only lying on the side, as if in ditation like an old monk.
His combat strength was already very strong. This ti, to complete the Secret Technique, he hadn’t used the Taming Technique at all. Without using Taming, he still had a gap compared to a Succubus.
But compared to before, it was still much better, and the process was quite blissful, indescribably so.
"Indeed, it’s of great value. The Grandmasters over there have reached ntal perfection; they can predict enemy moves in advance. The Sword Heart Enlightennt of the Sword Canon of rcy is a very clever state of mind. The Martial World 03 can stimulate spiritual power to be lively. I think after you join us, you should be able to integrate the domains."
The Sword Canon of rcy could be considered inspired by the musings from ’Thoughts on the Demonic Path’ by Dini, and it wouldn’t be too much to regard it as the ninth branch of the Demon Sect.
Although the Sword Canon of rcy doesn’t quite match the other three legendary books, it’s indeed much stronger than many other Divine Skills.
The young wealthy woman was already practicing the Nine Yin True Scripture and had an understanding of Inner Strength. Coupled with Tao Yu using the pure True Yuan of the Longevity Secret as a catalyst, leveraging her own way of eternal certification without fear of degrading, and using so special techniques to assist, her entry into mastering it was quite rapid.
This led Sun Shiyu to advance to the ’Sword Qi Long River’ phase of the sword manual.
If the young wealthy woman hadn’t cherished Tao Yu’s foundation and restrained him, Tao Yu would have wanted to contribute more.
Afterward, he thought that since the young wealthy woman had already mastered it, he probably didn’t need to worry about her progress anymore.
"There’s a problem in Martial World 01. The Chosen One who could control the Titans has been killed," Tao Yu reported back, returning to his tattling.
This made Sun Shiyu frown, but she then sighed,
"He didn’t report to the base. However, I will find an excuse to deal with them."
Since the Chosen One hadn’t reported to the base, it wouldn’t be quite right to punish without teaching, as ignorance isn’t a sin.
But as the top manager of the new Developnt Zone, the young wealthy woman could easily make those she disapproved of struggle even with a small gesture. Experience more on .Côm
A simple hint, and there were plenty of petty complaints to be made.
Er, actually, Tao Yu had already handled things a bit, but it was just to give them a warning.
Right now, he had only killed the three strongest in the family and the main culprit. There were others left, after all.
Tao Yu wasn’t so kind of demon; exterminating a family on a whim wasn’t really a good thing, so he stuck to tattling.
"I’m still worried that the person who bought that item will take it to the Titans’ original world. That thing always gives a bad feeling."
"Since your matter is already settled, I’ll co and pick you up directly and then we’ll go take a look at the situation over there..."
"Okay..."
