Chapter 752: Chapter 751: Seeing Xiaoyao Zi Again

He will not consider sending Daji and Lilith to the inner gate at this moment.

It’s not that the outer gate cannot function without the two of them.

The main issue is that the inner gate is currently overflowing with management talents. The Little Universe is filled with their own people, so it wouldn’t cause any significant problems. Hence, it would be more appropriate for the two of them to thrive at the outer gate.

In view of their overly enthusiastic behavior, which was somewhat annoying, Li Jing grudgingly made them a promise.

They could enter the inner gate after serving at the outer gate for another fifty years and cultivating some successors.

With this promise, Daji and Lilith didn’t cling to him persistently anymore.

Fifty years.

For these two deceitful women who have lived through countless years, it would pass in the blink of an eye. They just needed to endure.

...

Having shaken off Daji and Lilith, Li Jing ripped the space directly and arrived in Tianya City of the Southern Monster Realm.

Tianya City was formerly known as Tianya Palace.

Due to an agreement Li Jing had made with Jin Ritian in the past, the location of Tianya Palace was reformed into a city over two hundred years ago as part of the modernization carried out in the Immortal Realm by Chen Tang City. It was renamed to Tianya City and now serves as the administrative capital of the Southern Monster Realm.

The current Tianya City could be described as glamorous.

In the Four Realms of Immortals, only Jiu Wan City, which was established around the outer gate of Chen Tang City in the Eastern Immortal Domain, could match it.

Despite Jin Ritian moving his entire family to Chen Tang City and renouncing his position as Monster Emperor, completely withdrawing from managing the affairs of the Monster Realm, it didn’t affect Tianya City much.

Jin Ritian, who seems like a simple and honest man, is a wise monster.

As early as the establishment of Tianya City, he had promoted a federal parliamentary system based on Blue Star culture.

After more than a hundred years, the parliamentary system of the Southern Monster Realm has become mature and comprehensive.

The end of the emperor system only means losing an unnecessary Monster Emperor. It wouldn’t cause much chaos.

Over the past few decades, it has been proven that the Southern Monster Realm functions as usual even without Jin Ritian. No major disturbances have occurred.

Let’s leave those aside.

According to the information provided by Gui Ya.

Xiaoyao Zi had appeared on Heaven Street in Tianya City a while ago.

The westernized naming of Heaven Street has its own reasons, though not many.

Heaven Street is a gathering place for three vulgar industries in Tianya City.

Monsters have never been strong in their moral concepts.

Even after gradually stepping into modernization and Jin Ritian promoting rule of law, the three vulgar industries were hardly restricted. The areas of investment were only designated to prevent chaotic development.

Heaven Street is a product of such designation.

You must admit.

Xiaoyao Zi, the old man, knows how to have fun.

According to eyewitness accounts.

He had frequented various industries offering services of beast-eared girls, such as restaurants and coffee shops, for several days in a row.

Utilizing the ability of the Silent Shadow to disrupt the perception of others, Li Jing continued his investigation from the corner of a street near Heaven Street in Tianya City.

He closed his eyes and released his Primordial Spirit perception.

Everything on Heaven Street was apparent to him in a matter of minutes.

Xiaoyao Zi was not among them.

Chuckle.

Internally criticizing, Li Jing raised his head to look at the sky and activated the rules of Heavenly Punishment targeting himself.

This is a "tracking method" he "self-developed" after playing "hide and seek" with Xiaoyao Zi for more than fifty years and repeatedly failed.

At that time, Li Jing had just tried it on a whim.

Unexpectedly, the bug causing Heavenly Punishment due to his presence was not fixed and still existed.

Probably because this bug was hard to fix and the Heavenly Path needed to rest, it was temporarily shelved.

Then he discovered that if he induced Heavenly Punishment to strike himself directly, it seems to go after Xiaoyao Zi.

There’s no denying.

The grand causality from the Coffin of Cang Tian in the past proved to be useful.

Involving the life and death of all beings in the entire Immortal Realm, Xiaoyao Zi couldn’t easily get rid of such causality.

But that’s not the point.

The point is, with this "unexpected discovery" and the existence of grand causality, as long as Xiaoyao Zi is within Li Jing’s sensing range, he can easily locate him.

So, how big is Li Jing’s sensing range now?

Even he couldn’t provide a clear answer.

Anyway, it’s sufficient to cover one of the Immortal Domains and part of the Endless Sea separating the Four Realms of Immortals.

The conclusion is.

Xiaoyao Zi could only rely on his foresight that Li Jing would appear, and he must escape fast enough. If he kept swapping around the Immortal Domains after making a move, he would eventually be caught by Li Jing.

Li Jing had to admit.

Xiaoyao Zi was really slippery.

Despite having a unique "tracking method", he hadn’t managed to catch this old man even once till now...

As for today, who knows what his luck will be.

The Heavenly Punishment was activated.

It quickly dissipated because he couldn’t serve as the target.

Li Jing closed his eyes to sense, his Primordial Spirit perception enveloped the entire Southern Monster Realm.

Suddenly.

He detected a faint aura where the Heavenly Punishment had gathered and then dissipated tens of thousands of miles north of Tianya City.

Li Jing’s eyes shot open.

He had finally found it!

Surprised and pleased, he cursed inwardly.

According to his perception, the Heavenly Punishment didn’t take shape and fall. Evidently, Xiaoyao Zi had developed a way to avoid the Heavenly Punishment after surviving its strikes repeatedly. It was unclear when he had figured this out.

If he hadn’t been cautious today, he might not have detected the signs of Heavenly Punishment gathering and dissipating.

With a movement beneath his feet, Li Jing directly tore through the space to arrive at the location where the heavenly punishment’s aura appeared, then he paused slightly.

This is a desolate and dark valley.

Within the valley, there was a thatched house.

Quite conspicuous.

At this moment, Xiaoyao Zi was sitting in front of the thatched house, looking up.

Seeing such a scene, Li Jing furrowed his brows.

Detecting the aura of heavenly punishment didn’t mean he could directly catch Xiaoyao Zi; it simply confirmed a rough location.

After realizing he was discovered, this bastard would definitely run away instead of sitting and waiting to die.

Then it would depend on their means.

However, at this moment, Xiaoyao Zi didn’t escape as expected, but instead sat there as if waiting for him to knock.

Hiss.

Why didn’t this old thing run?

It cannot really be that he had a change of heart, right?

With these doubts, Li Jing landed lightly on the ground.

"Why didn’t you run?"

"Tired, I don’t want to run anymore."

Xiaoyao Zi rolled his eyes, then huffed with a gloomy face.

"Your actions are too unscrupulous. We have no deep hatred. You have been chasing me for more than fifty years. You always cause heavenly punishment to strike me. What if I can’t hold on someday?"

"You talk as if you will be struck to death by heavenly punishment."

Li Jing scoffed, commenting.

"You should know why I’m looking for you?"

Xiaoyao Zi shrugged, then cracked a smile.

"You shouldn’t really think that I’m not running anymore because I’m tired, right?"

"Tsk."

Li Jing clicked his tongue.

He was certainly not that gullible.

Xiaoyao Zi’s decision to wait for him instead of running away clearly told him, ’you may have your gimmicks but I have my own tricks too.’

This old guy probably had a different idea than he thought.

Probably figured out how to perfectly avoid the heavenly punishment...

This slight aura today - he deliberately allowed himself to perceive it.

Xiaoyao Zi deliberately let him discover this, he obviously has something up his sleeve!

To be honest, Li Jing was not really willing to know what it was.

Up till this point, there was still no clue about Huang Tian’s whereabouts, and he didn’t want to face other complications.

Looking at Xiaoyao Zi, who was sitting there with his legs crossed and grinning weirdly, Li Jing was silent for a moment, then slowly took out the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyao Zi was startled and quickly got up, unable to maintain his composure.

"Wait! What are you doing?"

"Forced questioning."

Li Jing bared his teeth.

!

Xiaoyao Zi.

He was very decisive, disappearing without a trace with a stamp of his foot on the ground.

But immediately after, he appeared back in his original position.

Encountering the phenomenon of "ghost walls", Xiaoyao Zi was stunned again, then speechless as he turned his head.

"Can’t you control your mastery of space-time a little less perfectly!?"

"After all, I’m young, a little growth isn’t strange, is it?"

Li Jing tilted his head and slowly walked towards him, holding the Unnamed Taoist Tool.

Upon seeing this, Xiaoyao Zi’s mouth twitched, and he raised his hand seriously.

"I have news of Zhu Qing!"

Zhu Qing!?

Li Jing paused his steps and squinted his eyes slightly.

"You deliberately let me catch you today not for other reasons, but because of Zhu Qing?"

"Yes, but also no."

Xiaoyao Zi replied, glanced at the ferocious Unnamed Taoist Tool in his hands, and then coughed.

"It’s not that I don’t want to help you with Huang Tian’s situation, but that I can’t. Cang Tian is a well-known ruthless character in the Eternal Divine Kingdom. His second life is an insurance that is used when he unexpectedly falls. Predicting where he is would take a huge cost - even in my prime, I couldn’t bear it."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing was slightly silent, commenting.

"If I hadn’t known about your past, I might have believed you."

Without waiting for Xiaoyao Zi to speak, he flatly replied.

"I don’t think the projection of where Huang Tian is can trouble you. You probably still want to push your faulty layout and cultivate a future contender that can reverse the Eternal Divine Kingdom using Huang Tian?"

Facing such words, Xiaoyao Zi’s dramatic expression gradually faded, and he said lightly.

"They say, it’s wise to turn a blind eye. Master Li, since you understand, why should we plague each other?"

Li Jing was silent, quietly looking at him.

Xiaoyao Zi also abandoned his previous posture, not backing down.

The two locked their gazes on one another.

In the end, it was Li Jing who lost his ground.

Xiaoyao Zi is not simple.

Even now, he couldn’t fully control this old guy.

Because he still held deep feelings for the Eternal Divine Kingdom, it wouldn’t be good to push him too hard.
