Zheng Gong imdiately made a call and discussed the situation with Li Yi.
"Okay, I understand. By the way, Zheng Gong, I have a dicine that might help Captain Zhang Lei with his illness. Have soone co and get it," Li Yi added.
"Really?" Zheng Gong sounded sowhat surprised.
Li Yi said, "I’m not certain it will work, but if Captain Zhang Lei could wake up at this ti, it would definitely be a big help to the situation."
"Alright, just wait, I’ll have a staff mber from the Investigation Bureau co get it right away. Once I have the dicine, I’ll deliver it to the captain imdiately," Zheng Gong said. He might question others’ dicine, but he wouldn’t doubt one from Li Yi.
"No problem," Li Yi responded.
Their call ended quickly.
Knowing the plan, Li Yi realized he could no longer continue his cultivation; he didn’t even have enough ti to rest and needed to prepare imdiately.
After changing into the Qiu Dragon Suit, he took a few big dicines, grabbed a box of nutrient solution, and then went downstairs with the Hanging Man Spear in tow.
As soon as he reached the ground floor,
he saw Lin Yue at the elevator entrance.
"Li Yi, you’re just in ti. I was about to look for you. Do you know about the Investigation Bureau’s action?" Lin Yue imdiately said, "Today, they’re going to act on the old city district issue. I just received so information. Almost all the cultivators in Tianchang City have started moving, even the vice president of the Cultivator Association, Li Shaqing, is hurrying this way..."
"Zheng Gong just inford . Master Pete’s proposal was rejected; the higher-ups refuse to destroy the old city district and do not want to see the Walking Corpse spread. Now, we can only rely on the cultivators to solve the Walking Corpse incident," Li Yi said seriously. "Sister Lin, we have to be prepared for the fight tonight."
"Naturally... Wait, what has happened to your body?" Lin Yue only then noticed that despite Li Yi’s efforts to conceal his Qi-Blood, a wave of Qi-Blood heat still hit her as she approached.
Just by standing beside him, she could feel the surging Qi-Blood circulating.
And when Lin Yue looked up at Li Yi’s head, she saw a blood-red aura soaring five or six ters high, like a beacon of war smoke rising up.
"I took a big dicine to forcibly stimulate my body’s Qi-Blood to help increase my strength," Li Yi fabricated an excuse; he didn’t want Lin Yue to worry.
After all, the Blood Burning Technique was about burning life span in exchange for three days of great strength.
"Such a drug that stimulates the body’s potential must have side effects," Lin Yue shrewdly noticed the issue there.
Li Yi said, "I’ll be weak after three days and my body might need so convalescence... But it’s okay, I’ll drink Extraordinary Water to repair my body and shorten the duration of the side effects."
"That’s good," Lin Yue nodded. "At tis like this, we indeed need so aggressive asures to enhance our strength. Plus, we might encounter Yang Yilong and his group on this mission... A fierce battle is inevitable, but don’t worry, if Yang Yilong dares to make a move, I’ll protect you and won’t let him succeed."
"Yang Yilong will also be there?" Li Yi’s expression faltered.
His greatest worry had materialized.
This mission was not just about the terrifying Walking Corpse and fierce ghosts, but also a formidable foe nearby. If he didn’t handle it well, his own life would be at great risk.
But the accumulation of his Qi-Blood was still insufficient.
It was not enough to fill the nine acupoints...for now, he could only wait and break through when he had accumulated enough.
He just hoped he wouldn’t encounter Yang Yilong too soon before that.
"Sister Lin, don’t worry. If we really run into Yang Yilong, at worst we’ll have a fight. Who will win or lose is still uncertain, and it’s about ti to settle so old scores. This is just the opportunity," Li Yi said, his eyes gleaming red, murder flickering within them.
He was still within the period of the Blood Burning Technique, when his strength was at its peak in his lifeti. Soon, he would be able to open the nine acupoints and condense the Qi Blood Fist Gang. All these combined would qualify him for a head-to-head battle with Yang Yilong, maybe even giving him an edge.
"Okay, if you want to fight, I’ll join you," Lin Yue said, her temper flaring. Seeing Li Yi refuse to back down, she decided to go all out as well.
