Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1749: Chapter 1751: ...

Three days ago, after Northwest Gourd Island stabilized, Xin Lifeng left.

On one hand, the western situation calmed down, so he no longer needed to sit in command. On the other hand, he was also wary of Lu Xiaobu.

After that punch, he began investigating everything about Lu Xiaobu in this Nanshan City.

Nothing was too trivial to ignore!

Finally, he reached a conclusion that was unimaginable but highly probable.

At that moment, two completely different emotions surged within him—must kill and fear!

Because, according to these pieces of information, especially Lu Xiaobu’s combat style, it resembled that of someone from the Demon Realm!

Initially, he didn’t think in this direction. After all, although everyone knew about the Demon Realm, it was an event from hundreds of years ago, too distant for him to relate to.

However, a small incident later abruptly connected the two in his mind.

It was the morning he chose to retreat, and feeling agitated, he wandered around Nanshan City.

On one hand, he was clearing his mind; on the other, he wanted to see what method Lu Xiaobu used to solidly control several cities!

As he walked, he suddenly saw a person.

It wasn’t anyone important. After all, in Nanshan City, he only considered Lu Xiaobu significant, the others were negligible.

What he saw was a little fatty.

Seemingly called Lin Lei, the Young City Lord of Linren City.

He knew the name of this little fatty because of the cigarettes developed by Linren City.

Fearing that this new thing might cause unexpected changes, he paid some attention.

As a result, he remembered Linren and Lin Lei, the big and small fatties.

But later found that this thing had no impact, so he put it aside.

Now seeing the little fatty, especially in a sneaky manner, piqued his interest to follow them.

Finally, he found the little fatty meeting a group of people about his age, whispering secretly.

He watched them casually as if watching a play.

At first, it was nothing, just that the little fatty took out several boxes of things.

He could tell it was cigarettes.

However, these cigarettes’ packaging was different from the ones Linren City was producing now, with a variety of colorful options.

Xin Lifeng looked at them and didn’t think much, assuming other cities finally began to imitate them, that’s all.

Yet, when he inadvertently saw the text on those cigarette boxes, it was as if something passed through his mind.

He couldn’t grasp it momentarily, feeling puzzled.

Then, he forgot about it!

But that afternoon, that fleeting thought appeared again!

Text!

It was the text!

The text on those cigarette boxes slightly differed from what they currently used, and it was evident they originated from the same place!

Text is never simply created and used by one person, it requires a certain population.

Usually, this thought wouldn’t mean anything, as Lu Xiaobu himself was from a small world, having unique text was normal!

But!

But!

The problem he finally noticed was a non-issue issue, these texts weren’t much different from the ones used in the cultivation world now!

And only a few small worlds use this text, one being—the Demon Realm!

Because their text heavily absorbed elements from the Demon Realm’s text!

And so, thinking of this and combining it with Lu Xiaobu’s fighting style, an irresistible suspicion began to flood his mind!

Lu Xiaobu is from the Demon Realm!

Once this suspicion arose, it couldn’t be stopped, seemingly everything, real or imagined, confirmed his hypothesis!

Finally!

He chose to leave immediately that day!

If Lu Xiaobu was from the Demon Realm, then the condition of cross-realm enemy killing was established for him!

Therefore, Lu Xiaobu could control Hengqin City and Yuchi City during the Golden Core Stage and previously fight evenly with him!

Meaning his Out-of-Body Stage might pose no threat before Lu Xiaobu, possibly even becoming a hostage!

Instantly, cold sweat emerged!

Leave! Leave immediately!

And report immediately, then gather forces to kill him!

This was his thought and firmly believed in it!

Yet!

After leaving Nanshan City, his thought started to waver!

It seemed unnecessary to rush into killing Lu Xiaobu!

After all, although he could kill across realms, he was just at the Nascent Soul Stage!

Would it be worth letting this variable throw the recently stabilized and ongoing unification into chaos?

Is it worth it?

Hundreds of years of preparation!

Just a few more days and it could end!

Why not wait a bit!

Xin Lifeng’s thoughts continuously shifted, constantly weighing and choosing between the greater cause and the Demon Realm!

In the end, he chose to prioritize the overall situation and temporarily let go of this matter!

However, he began to have people watch over this area. Once the larger situation stabilizes, he’ll immediately put Lu Xiaobu to death and take back that quarter of Gourd Island!

Lu Xiaobu, so what if you are from the Demon Realm?!

If undiscovered, you could stir up storms, but now, I already know, what can you do?!

...

With Xin Lifeng leaving inexplicably and somewhat panicked, some in Nanshan City also fell into brief confusion.

However, they soon put this matter behind them.

Because Lord Lu had already given orders!

On the night Xin Lifeng left, Lu Xiaobu also left Nanshan City, heading towards Northwest Gourd Island.

This time, he didn’t bring anyone, choosing to go alone.

Meanwhile, the people in the city weren’t idle but welcomed some people designated by Lord Lu, called something like a strategist team.

These people were young and weak, ones the original leaders looked down upon!

But due to Lord Lu’s orders, they had to be courteous.

However, each harbored doubts, even complaining—what is Lord Lu thinking? What can a bunch like this do? Yet they must follow their arrangements? Really! And where is Lord Lu heading?

While the God Slaying Alliance was busy advancing plans, Xin Lifeng was preoccupied with thoughts, the Four Cities of Gourd Island plus Hengqin City and Yuchi City were all greeting this strategist team, while Lu Xiaobu was heading straight towards Northwest Gourd Island, now within the God Slaying Alliance’s area of influence!

However, he wasn’t heading to any city, sect, or directly causing trouble for the God Slaying Alliance!

Instead, he headed directly to a place where strangers were unwelcome!
