Chapter 341: Stay or Leave
Chapter 341: Stay or Leave
Hmm, it's obvious that Li Wu is faking his death.
Speaking of which, the method of faking death is actually quite simple.
At the moment Zhou An unleashed his attack, Li Wu followed the little dragon into the sea.
Under the cover of Zhou An's bombardment, the little dragon entered Li Wu's body, and Li Wu activated the Dragon Transformation skill.
With this skill, Li Wu effortlessly disguised himself as the little dragon, creating the illusion that he was already dead.
Of course, Li Wu's fake death was not something he planned alone.
Initially, he didn't even consider this possibility.
Li Wu's first thought was to avenge Old Bone's death, and he couldn't bear it, wanting to kill Feng Xiu first and then stand up to him.
The idea of faking his death never crossed Li Wu's mind.
It was Zhang Yunyi who made him consider this option and take action.
Three days ago, Zhou An, the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Bureau, had just arrived in the Southeast region, and not long after, Zhang Yunyi followed suit.
Her first action upon arrival was to seek out Jiang Yue Xing.
She told Jiang Yue Xing that Lu Hai Kong had asked her to come and help.
The name Lu Hai Kong was particularly useful, and Jiang Yue Xing was easily manipulated by Zhang Yunyi.
Then, through Jiang Yue Xing, Zhang Yunyi met Li Wu.
This was Li Wu's first encounter with this woman.
Upon seeing Zhang Yunyi, Li Wu immediately realized that she was no ordinary woman.
Li Wu's judgment was not based on Zhang Yunyi's demeanor or appearance but her attributes.
Li Wu believed that the Governor of Jiangbei should have a strength comparable to Jiang Yue Xing, but when Li Wu saw her attributes full of question marks, he realized that her strength exceeded his imagination.
And what exceeded Li Wu's imagination was not only Zhang Yunyi's strength but also her methods.
This woman was able to communicate with Li Wu about a fake death plan, right in front of Moon Shadow, a plan that even Moon Shadow wanted to conceal.
Not only did she hide it from Moon Shadow, but she also convinced Li Wu.
After hesitating for a day, Li Wu finally agreed to cooperate with Zhang Yunyi.
It was because of Zhang Yunyi's support that Zhou An launched an unexpected attack on Li Wu.
Only then could Moon Shadow not detect that Li Wu was still alive.
Some of Li Wu's unknown abilities were concealed.
Li Wu was able to fake his death so smoothly.
This revealed a glimpse of her abilities and methods.
The reason Li Wu was willing to cooperate in his own death was partly due to his current situation and partly because of something Zhang Yunyi said that struck a chord with him.
She said, "As long as you're alive, you'll always be in the spotlight. Countless people will be watching you, wishing for your death every moment. The troubles you face today will keep repeating themselves. People around you will die for you, hindering your growth.
But if you die, not only will today's troubles come to an abrupt end, but countless others will follow you to the grave!"
Being placed in a desperate situation was the best solution for Li Wu's current predicament.
However, this method had one drawback.
It started today.
From now on, Li Wu must live in the shadows until he gains enough strength.
Aside from Zhang Yunyi, no one else can know that he's still alive.
Li Wu himself may need to leave for a while; he must disappear completely, temporarily severing his contracts with Little Skull and the little dragon, erasing his existence.
In a way,
'Li Wu' as a person can be considered dead, at least for the short term. Li Wu cannot reveal himself under this identity.
Of course, Li Wu had already prepared for this.
Soon after Moon Shadow left, he found an opportunity under Zhang Yunyi's protection to release the little dragon. He wandered off on his own, nursing his wounds on a small island over 50 kilometers away from the battlefield, while waiting for his partner to arrive.
To be honest, Li Wu is now a little anxious.
After all, apart from Little Skull and the little dragon, only Zhang Yunyi knows he's alive.
Her strength is evident, and if she turns ruthless, Li Wu can only let her do as she pleases.
Of course, this was just an act.
Lu Wu was never the type to entrust his life to others without reservation. Even if it was Dudu, he feared that this little girl might accidentally kill him, let alone Zhang Yunyi.
So, Lu Wu had prepared a backup plan as a threat.
In case Zhang Yunyi really craved his body, Lu Wu had a way to counter him.
Naturally, Lu Wu hoped he wouldn't need to use his backup plan, as his current situation would become extremely difficult otherwise.
After a day of anxious waiting with a nervous heart, Zhang Yunyi finally arrived.
"Sorry, because you died, there were many matters to attend to, and to avoid exposure, I could only let you wait a little longer," Zhang Yunyi explained upon his arrival.
He then handed Lu Wu a bag.
"This is for you."
It was a 1691 edition of the book, "A Look at the World Without a Bar"!
Lu Wu opened it and found a bag of fruits inside.
...
Name: Vitality Fruit
Grade: Legendary
Effect: Maximizes the replenishment of vitality, highly effective for healing and recovery. Of course, it would be even better if it could be refined into a medicine.
...
There were about ten fruits in the bag, making it an incredibly valuable gift.
"Thanks!"
Lu Wu didn't hesitate this time, as his current state was truly pitiful. These ten fruits could very well save his life.
Lu Wu immediately summoned Han Han and divided the fruits between them, and they devoured them all.
Zhang Yunyi, standing nearby, smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid I might have poisoned them?"
Lu Wu, having consumed five legendary-grade fruits, felt his energy surge. Han Han, who had just been summoned, was initially weak, but now radiated vitality, and his strength increased significantly, almost reaching the level of a 3-Star Lord.
Lu Wu's condition improved greatly, and his voice regained its strength.
"I'm not afraid."
With his improved state, Lu Wu's lips curled into a sweet smile. "The moment I see Aunt Zhang, I feel a sense of warmth, as if I'm seeing my own mother. I trust you completely, Aunt Zhang! I wouldn't hesitate even if you asked me to deceive Yue Ying!"
Zhang Yunyi smiled lightly. "Is that so? I heard that you've said more than once that you'd settle scores with me because of Zhao Ka Ming's matter."
"How is that possible? Who's spreading such rumors? It was Jin Lihai who dealt with Uncle Zhao. What does Aunt Zhang have to do with it? Besides, when I was captured by Yan Ruhue, it was my sister, Zhang Yuhui, who saved me. My feelings for Aunt Zhang are as clear as day and night!"
Lu Wu was almost ready to swear to the heavens.
Zhang Yunyi, observing Lu Wu's earnestness, smiled and said, "Alright, enough of this. I don't have much time to spare, so let's not waste it. Let's get down to business!"
"Okay!"
"By now, some people with vested interests should have learned of your death and even verified it. After a day of spreading, the news of your death is gradually becoming a fact.
So, our fake death plan was successful.
Now, it's time for the next step."
At this point, Zhang Yunyi paused, looking at Lu Wu with utmost seriousness. "Now, you have a choice to make: stay in Zone 1 or leave Zone 1."
"What's the difference?"
Zhang Yunyi explained, "If you stay in Zone 1, your actions will be severely restricted.
Your strength has already reached the Lord level, and to progress further, you'll need resources of legendary grade. It's challenging to obtain these resources effectively through points; you'll need to enter the Mystic Realm.
But the resources in Zone 1's Mystic Realm have been mostly exploited, and those being developed are controlled by others.
In other words, it's difficult for you to grow in Zone 1, and there's a risk of exposure if you're not careful.
However, the situation is different outside Zone 1.
Beyond Zone 1, the Alliance's influence is weaker, and many Mystic Realm resources remain untapped. Fewer people know you there, so you can be more active and grow rapidly in a short time.
Of course, the danger is relatively higher.
So, do you choose to stay or leave?"
