Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1725: Chapter 1727: What Exactly Are You Trying to Do?

Blood Continent.

When Shi Yi, Shi Er, and Han Long were informed they needed to leave, their eyes kept darting to the people Lu Xiaobu brought with him.

All night long.

The rumored flesh-eating, terrifying inhabitants of the Demon Realm showed no sign of ferocity.

They constantly carried strange items back and forth, while someone nearby continuously took notes.

This left the three utterly baffled.

What are they doing?

However, whatever it was, it was clearly beyond their ability to investigate.

After settling Liang Lan and the others, Lu Xiaobu rejoined the three.

Now that it’s time to leave the Secret Realm and take the proper route, they don’t need to bring them along. Besides, Bai Qi had already handed over control here to him, allowing him to open a passage at will.

As for Shi Yi, Shi Er, and Han Long, he considered whether to temporarily restrain them after witnessing everything.

But after thinking it over, he deemed it unnecessary.

Shi Yi and Shi Er were loyal to him, and as for Han Long, he probably wanted to keep the secret even more than he did, unless he was foolish.

After all, their families’ undercover stakes were left behind earlier, and being discovered would result in a more tragic death.

Moreover, Lu Xiaobu couldn’t keep Han Long by his side as it would bring more trouble.

Having made up his mind, the four of them headed towards the Secret Realm’s entrance.

Along the way, the marks where blood creatures wreaked havoc could be seen everywhere, appearing quite a mess!

Occasionally, there were a few scattered blood creatures, but they were swiftly dealt with.

These were low-level blood creatures; the high-level ones had already been corralled during Lu Xiaobu’s absence by Xiang Yu and the others.

They reached the direction of the Secret Realm’s entrance.

At this moment, it resembled a refugee camp.

Half a month ago, this clearing in the forest was packed, and now there were barely twenty people.

Moreover, everyone was injured, looking tattered like beggars.

However, Lu Xiaobu recognized the Loose Cultivation Alliance’s Shadow Rider, the God Slaying Alliance’s Yun Hai, the prodigy Fan Wenlong, and the Mie Pavilion leader Lu Pu from the Small World.

It seemed these four were indeed capable enough to become leaders!

Yet now their so-called leadership title clearly held no weight, as they were just figureheads.

Each organization had a few survivors, but oddly, these survivors did not approach their leaders; instead, they banded together.

In fact, their gazes toward these leaders were filled with vigilance!

Thus, two peculiar groups had formed here!

Let’s call them the Leader Group and the Hustler Group!

”Yo, everyone’s here?”

Lu Xiaobu spoke up.

Hearing his voice, everyone tensed, staring intently at him!

Once they finally saw the four of them appear, the crowd breathed a slight sigh of relief.

It seemed no blood creatures followed them!

”Brother, you seem truly formidable! Not a single scratch after half a month?” Yun Hai sat and looked at Lu Xiaobu, his eyes gleaming!

Hearing this, the rest squinted their eyes.

Half a month’s ordeal with blood creatures left everyone battered, barely surviving, yet these four bore no injuries, not even a scratch on their clothes?!

It sent a shiver through everyone’s heart!

”Oh, just lucky. After clearing a challenge, I stumbled upon a cave and hid there.” Lu Xiaobu brushed it off lightly.

Hearing his explanation, the others nodded, neither believing nor disbelieving.

The explanation was plausible, but they clearly didn’t care; they were merely waiting for the Secret Realm to open.

However, Fan Wenlong’s expression was sour, the mention of this reminded him of the previous humiliation on the Bone Stairs!

”Brother, care to join me for a chat?” Yun Hai’s eyes flickered as he suddenly invited.

”Sure.” Lu Xiaobu laughed, gladly approaching.

The Hustler Group members didn’t mind this scene, unwilling to complicate matters—they just wanted to survive!

Lu Xiaobu sat boldly near Yun Hai.

”Brother, there might be some trouble for you after leaving this time,” Yun Hai smiled slightly, seemingly offering a friendly reminder, ”After all, the people of Yiji Mansion perished by your hand!”

”Oh really? I feel your danger is greater.” Lu Xiaobu smiled back, countering.

”Oh?” Yun Hai raised an eyebrow, face unmoved, ”How do you figure?”

”If I’m not mistaken, for all of you to survive, there must be many bones beneath your feet.” Lu Xiaobu’s voice remained calm.

Upon hearing this, Yun Hai remained composed, but Fan Wenlong and Lu Pu’s faces changed dramatically.

Yes!

The one who killed Mei Tingfeng of the Yiji Mansion was right!

Their survival owed nothing to honorable means!

Blood creatures lacked consciousness and didn’t fixate on a target. The best way to evade pursuit was to offer someone to them!

Whoever they encountered on the road, they almost invariably handed over to the blood creatures, thus granting themselves survival.

This also explained why those fortunate enough to survive regarded them with such suspicion at this moment!

”Once this incident spreads, a public outcry would be the least of your worries; you might even face penalties from your own rules!” Lu Xiaobu spoke leisurely, ”Especially if a bigwig sows someone within your ranks!”

These organizations didn’t come seeking some core quota; they had legitimate matters to attend to.

Where there’s genuine business, there are rules and regulations!

Regardless of the reason, doing this warranted punishment!

Hearing this, even Yun Hai was a bit strained: ”You’ve got great insight, brother!”

Yun Hai thought he’d underestimated this man.

He initially intended to use the Yiji Mansion incident as a scapegoat for this guy.

Instead, he was turned around and caught off-guard!

Fan Wenlong, Yun Hai, and Lu Pu all had paled expressions.

Shadow Rider alone appeared indifferent, even with a hint of schadenfreude!

”Shadow Rider, you seem laid-back,” Lu Xiaobu turned to Shadow Rider.

”None of my business!” Shadow Rider chuckled coldly, ”I’m an unorganized assassin, not bound by your petty rules!”

”Naturally.” Lu Xiaobu nodded in agreement, then abruptly changed the subject:

”But, I’m pondering something. Even if Brother Fan, Brother Yun, and Brother Lu broke the rules, those rules can deal with it!”

”But for you, unbound by rules, who’ve killed so many of these three organizations’ people, what will the outcome be?”

Upon hearing this, Shadow Rider’s face changed dramatically as well!

What would the outcome be?!

Death!

Numerous people met their end at his hands on this journey!

”What exactly are you after?!”
