Shan Yixiong looked at the retreating team with a little regret.

The scale of this competition was unprecedented, and geniuses from all major schools gathered together. Even he wanted to observe it on the spot.

Unfortunately, the imperial court had strict orders that city lords stationed outside were not allowed to enter the capital without permission. Although Shan Yixiong was moved, he did not dare to disobey the imperial order.

Regrettably, he could only send a fourth-level soul master as the team leader to lead five masters to the imperial capital to compete.

This fourth-level soul master is called Jia Yuancun, and he is an acquaintance that Li Yi has met before.

A few months ago, it was he who led the team from the City Lord's Mansion to the Yunmeng Mountains to participate in the training.

In addition to being the leader of the city lord's palace, Jia Yuancun also serves as a judge. He is relatively fair in dealing with people, so Li Yi has a pretty good impression of him.

"Master Li, the city lord has asked me to take you all into the capital. If there are any mistakes on the way, please forgive me."

Jia Yuancun was smiling all over his face, and his attitude towards Li Yi was far more polite than others.

He knew in his heart that among the five people fighting in Juye City, Li Yi was the main force and the one the city lord really had high hopes for.

What's more, the other party is a fifth-level soul master, a level higher than himself, so his posture should naturally be lowered.

Li Yi received the fourth-level soul beads from Lord City Lord and was in a good mood. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Master Jia, you are serious. I would like to ask, how far is it from here to the imperial capital?"

Jia Yuancun replied: "It will take about nine days to travel, and we will pass through Mengluo, Tianhui, and Baiqi several big cities on the way."

"Is it that far?"

Li Yi subconsciously patted the wildebeest under him. This wildebeest was specially selected for him by Zhu Dingyan. It was strong and majestic.

Other people's wildebeests are also carefully selected, and their leg strength is far stronger than ordinary mounts.

Jia Yuancun smiled and said: "It's pretty quick. If it's an ordinary business trip, it will take at least half a month."

Li Yi nodded, stopped talking, and started galloping.

When the others saw him running ahead, they also swung their reins and ran after him.

On this trip, no one brought any servants with them. They were going to the imperial capital to participate in a competition, not for a trip. There were so many people going with them, they would only be a burden.

The six people traveled for a whole day and arrived at a small town in the evening.

Jia Yuancun chose an inn with the best conditions in the town and took everyone to live in it.

At night, Li Yi fell asleep in his guest room and returned to the real world.

Li Yi walked out of the quiet room in the experimental center building and was about to return to Tianhai City when his communicator rang.

After connecting, Luo Kun's serious voice came from the communicator.

"Brother, something big happened yesterday! The Hunter Guild headquarters was attacked. Hundreds of people were killed. Guild leader You Lie was seriously injured and is currently missing!"

"Is there something wrong?"

Li Yi said in surprise: "You Lie is a master in the alchemy realm, who can hurt him?"

"It's not clear yet. The surveillance at the scene was seriously damaged. The technology department is working hard to restore the image data at that time."

"What did Director Lu say?"

Li Yi knew very well that Luo Kun's call must have come from Lu Zhanheng's instruction.

The Hunters Guild is located in the northern part of Donglin, thousands of miles away from Ninghai City, and is not under Luo Kun's jurisdiction at all.

How could Luo Kun know so clearly about the attack on the Hunter Guild headquarters?

Luo Kun said quickly: "Director Lu hopes that you will help find the real culprit. The other party can even injure You Lie. His strength is extraordinary. I'm afraid the rest of them won't be of use."

Li Yi calmly said: "Are there any clues?"

"According to our inference, You Lie probably went to the Martial Arts Alliance. He is a master of Dan Qi Realm, so he can only ask Duan Cangbei for help!"

Li Yi did not hesitate: "Okay, I'll go to the Martial Arts Alliance."

Li Yi hung up the communicator, feeling unfazed.

A Dan Qi realm master was seriously injured in an attack, which was definitely a earth-shattering event for the Donglin martial arts community and the Criminal Department.

But to him, it was just a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing no ripples.

Since breaking through to the sixth level soul master, Li Yi's cultivation has reached a level that is unimaginable in the real world.

A few months ago, Dan Qi masters like Duan Cangbei and You Lie would have been evenly matched with him.

But now, even if Li Yi stands still, Duan Cangbei and You Lie can't hurt him even a hair.

Even if a master who defeated the Dan Qi realm appeared, he wouldn't be very interested.

Li Yi walked out of the door of the experimental center and looked at the starry sky in the distance. He suddenly felt like it was cold at high places.

It seems that I am too strong. If I continue to improve like this, will the rules of the world treat me as an enemy?

Just when Li Yi was feeling emotional, in a small town eight hundred miles away from here, there was a gray-haired old man walking hurriedly.

His body was stooped, and he would cough slightly occasionally, as if he was feeling unwell.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the old man carefully observed his surroundings, and after confirming that no one was following him, he walked into a small side alley.

About half an hour later, the old man appeared outside a small courtyard.

He coughed twice, waited for five seconds, then opened the courtyard door and walked in.

Sitting next to the wooden table in the small courtyard was an old woman with silvery hair.

She stared at the old man who walked in, with a somewhat unkind look on her face.

"You Lie, I haven't seen you for twenty years, why are you here suddenly?"

The old man raised his head. There was a conspicuous black spot on his left forehead. He was You Lie, the president of the Hunter Guild.

"Hey, everyone thought I would go to Duan Cangbei, but no one thought that I would come here to find you!"

The old woman immediately frowned: "What do you mean?"

You Lie did not answer immediately, but looked around.

"This place is really shabby. I didn't expect Tang Shaoqing, the famous plum boxing master, to live in seclusion in such a small place?"

"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it!"

The old woman said coldly: "Tell me, how did you find me?"

You Lie chuckled: "The Hunter Guild's ability to catch people is the best in the world, and its skill in finding people is naturally good! As early as ten years ago, my intelligence network found your traces. Since then, although you have changed a lot

place, but you still can’t hide from my eyes.”

After saying this, he coughed twice and wiped his hand, which was covered with shocking blood.

The old woman suddenly became surprised: "Are you injured? Someone in this world can actually hurt you?"

You Lie smiled bitterly: "This is why I came to you."

He found a chair and sat down slowly.

"I have encountered a formidable enemy. This person is too strong and I am no match for him!"

When the old woman heard this, her expression suddenly became cautious.

"who is it?"

"Zhou Wushang!"

"Zhou Wushang? That King of Killers?"

The old woman frowned, then shook her head slightly: "Impossible, he and you are just brothers, how could he hurt you so badly?"

"He is no longer the Zhou Wushang he was before. He chose to cooperate with the devil and turned into an inhuman monster!"

"Inhuman monster?"
