Sang Biao walked forward carefully, always keeping a distance of more than ten ters from Li Zheng.
This was the safety zone he left for himself. In the Sin Domain, no one could be trusted. Even though he had once helped Li Zheng, he still didn't dare hand his own safety over to Li Zheng.
After all, Li Zheng already had the strength to threaten him.
Li Zheng acted as if he hadn't noticed Sang Biao's wariness. Smiling, he sat down facing him, chatting about what the other had gone through recently, and incidentally prying so Wilderness information out of him.
Through Sang Biao's words, Li Zheng finally learned the rough power distribution in the Wilderness.
The Celestial Will Organization was not the only dominant force in the Wilderness. There were two other organizations on the sa level, each with a different ideology.
The Celestial Will Organization advocated embracing negative emotions, evolving all people, and coexisting with Emotion Storms.
This kind of ideology, it had to be said, was inhuman to the core.
Setting aside whether the myriad Races could truly coexist with Emotion Storms, just look at those twisted creatures—weren't they all once mbers of the myriad Races?
Twisted creatures were all beings who had once died in an Emotion Storm or had been forcibly transford alive into those grotesque forms.
So at first, not many people joined the Celestial Will Organization. It wasn't until later, when they researched the "Celestial God Completion Skill," that they attracted a large number of mbers—but the purpose of these people in joining was obvious.
"No wonder the Celestial Will Organization always sends a few salted-fish nobodies out to die. Must all be people risking their lives to obtain higher-tier Celestial God Completion Skill." Li Zheng nodded. "What about the other two organizations? I've never been to the Wilderness, so I haven't heard of them."
"The other two are called the 'Dark Night Association' and the 'Free Republic Hall.'" Sang Biao said, "The Dark Night Association is the most chaotic and complicated of the three forces. It has all kinds of people inside, especially fond of hunting down the strong. It's hostile to the Free Republic Hall."
"The Free Republic Hall… They say it's a republic, but in reality it's just a bunch of desperadoes banding together to fight their enemies. If you join the Free Republic Hall, even if you have a blood-deep feud of annihilated clans with soone, you must put it aside; otherwise you'll be hunted by all mbers. Because of this, many mbers with generational vendettas can't endure it, defect to the Dark Night Association, and beco sworn enemies of the Free Republic Hall."
"In the end, these three organizations were founded just to gather strength and gain more benefits. There are still many commoners in the Wilderness who haven't joined these three, and they're squeezed and exploited by them, living lives of utter misery."
Li Zheng was dazed as he listened, muttering, "So the Outer City is a utopia, and the Wilderness is a capitalist society."
"Capitalist?"
Sang Biao let out a cold laugh. "Those are warlords and tycoons, parasites sucking blood from the Wilderness commoners! My family were mbers of the Free Republic Hall. I disdained to be one of them, so while they slept, I killed them one by one with my own hands! The ones chasing behind now are also from the Free Republic Hall. Because I killed their mbers, I must die, to preserve their organization's face."
"Hahaha!" Li Zheng clapped and laughed. "Didn't expect Mr. Sang Biao to be a righteous man who slays his kin for the greater good when he sees injustice on the road."
"I…"
Sang Biao suddenly choked on his words, falling silent with a stiff look, as if there was so unspeakable secret.
Li Zheng sensed the sha on the other man, and although he was curious, since the other didn't want to say more, he covered for him and changed the topic. "Back then I was too weak and didn't have the Ability to help treat your injuries. Now I've been in the Outer City for quite a while and have broadened my horizons a lot. If you don't mind, Mr. Sang Biao, could you let take another look at your wounds? Maybe I can think of sothing for you."
Sang Biao was imrsed in his own thoughts. Only after a long ti did he speak. "Pathfinder lord, Sang Biao appreciates your kindness. I can't have a pleasant long talk with you today. If Biao is still alive next ti I et you, I'll definitely prepare fine food and good wine, and chat with you to my heart's content. Farewell!"
He got up and turned to leave. Li Zheng wanted to keep him, but seeing that he was determined to go, he couldn't force it.
After Sang Biao had gone far, Mirel finished tending to Mudala's wounds and walked out of the residence. Seeing Li Zheng looking off in that direction, she asked, "Who was that just now?"
Li Zheng replied, "That Biao Race guy I t in the Fourth Sin Domain."
"Oh?" Mirel still rembered Sang Biao. "Why didn't you ask him to stay for a bit? We left in such a hurry before, we didn't even get to do anything to show our gratitude."
"He probably has sothing important to do." Li Zheng shook his head. "How's Mudala?"
"I've finished dicating her. She'll recover after a while."
"I'll go in and take a look."
Li Zheng entered the residence. Mudala had already changed into a loose outfit, but that exaggerated figure of hers still stood out clearly.
"My lord." Mudala greeted him respectfully.
Li Zheng removed the contract mark he'd left on Mudala, waved his hand, and said, "You can go."
Mudala was stunned. Of course she could sense that the contract which had been binding her all this ti had disappeared. "My lord, what does this an?"
"Nothing much." Li Zheng pointed at the door. "I just got a sense of the Wilderness's situation. It's too dangerous out there. I don't want to avenge you. Figure out a way on your own."
Mudala bit her lower lip. "My lord dislikes how ugly I look like this, is that it? I can change back."
Her making that kind of gesture in her current form was grotesque and ridiculously forced.
"It has nothing to do with that." Li Zheng's face showed no emotion. "I just think it's not worth diving into a dangerous place like the Wilderness for your sake. While the twisted creatures haven't co yet, hurry up and leave."
Mudala looked at Li Zheng for a long, long ti in disappointnt, then sighed softly. "Take care, my lord."
Leaving the capsule residence, she raised her hand and pulled out a Disguise Suit to put on, spread the wings on her back, and shot away at high speed.
Mirel ca in from outside. "You drove her away?"
"Didn't you hear everything?" Li Zheng turned around with a smile. "But don't overthink it. I'm just taking this chance to probe the Terminal's limits. The only reason Mudala could enter the Outer City was because she used a Loyalty Contract on . With the contract as a restriction, the Terminal felt safe allowing a Destruction Race like Mudala into the Outer City.
Now that Mudala already has official Outer City resident status, I want to see what the Terminal will do after she loses the contract restriction."
Will it directly strip Mudala of her resident status and drive her back to the Wilderness, or just turn a blind eye and ignore it?
If it's the forr, and she can't return to the Outer City or go to the Wilderness, he can take her back in when he passes by.
If it's the latter, Li Zheng can use the sa thod to dissolve those joke-like marriage contracts with Mo Li and the others.
In the future he'd be staying in Block Four long-term. If he didn't settle this "marriage contract problem," he really wouldn't know how to get along with Mo Li and the rest.
After all, they weren't the sa Race, and every Race had different views.
He could shrug these things off and pretend nothing existed between them, but he was afraid Mo Li and the others wouldn't see it that way.
If one day he woke up and suddenly found a few more people in his bed, what the hell was he supposed to do?
Only kids say they want it all; adults know they can't handle it.
One Mirel is already enough for Li Zheng to "cultivate" slowly. If he gets a few more wives, how's he supposed to keep on living?
