Chapter 1892 Murder Through Rumors

Bai Junwu, the first emperor, was an inviolable figure in the old land. With a single call from him, he could command the obedience of ten thousand people.

Li Yanchu immediately became the target of everyone's anger, and one terrifying divine power after another bombarded him.

People kept surging their cultivation levels and attacking Li Yanchu, forcing him to retreat.

However, judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult to escape.

The Grand Master of Ceremonies acted swiftly, his Taiyi Dao had been cultivated to an extremely high level, and he could neutralize any supernatural power Li Yanchu used.

The two exchanged more than a dozen blows in the blink of an eye, and huge ripples of power reverberated through the void.

A deafening roar!
Li Yanchu's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. The killing universe behind him also trembled, and his chest was stained red with blood.

The Grand Master said expressionlessly, "If His Majesty wants you to die, then you must die."

Li Yanchu said, "Oh."

Grand Master of Ceremonies: "..."

Immediately afterwards, Li Yanchu summoned the Void Jujube Tree and vanished into the universe under his jurisdiction.

The Grand Master's terrifying palm strike severed his connection with the outside world, and countless supernatural powers locked onto him.

Li Yanchu swung his sword and severed the connection to himself.

The Void Jujube Tree vanished the next moment. His Void Dao cultivation had reached an extremely high level, and his escape in full view of everyone shocked all.

"Chase!"

Someone shouted, and everyone rushed out to chase after them.

Some used the Great Dao of Cause and Effect to track Li Yanchu's whereabouts, while others used magical artifacts to illuminate every universe under their jurisdiction. Li Yanchu was quickly caught up with.

Throughout the entire process, Bai Junwu showed no intention of making a move.

If Li Yanchu manages to escape with so many people around, then this old place is truly rotten to the core.

Li Yanchu was extremely fast, but those who were chasing him were also very skilled, and he was quickly caught up.

Li Yanchu traveled through various universes, but suddenly a huge cycle of reincarnation appeared behind him.
Within the cycle of reincarnation lies a terrifying face, a person Li Yanchu has never seen before.

This person's mastery of the Great Dao of Reincarnation is no less than that of Nanshan Shu, the master of the Dao Domain Reincarnation Palace.

He used this cycle of reincarnation to trap Li Yanchu, so that no matter which universe he travels through, he cannot escape the cycle.

Li Yanchu's gaze turned cold. If things continued like this, it would attract more and more experts from the Old Earth to catch up with them.

Li Yanchu raised his sword and slashed down. In an instant, countless figures appeared around him, layer upon layer, densely packed, as Li Yanchu swung his sword down in a flurry.

This strike shattered the massive cycle of reincarnation, cutting a sliver of hope, and Li Yanchu rushed out through the gap.

At this moment, a powerful figure from the old land showed a look of surprise on his face.

The man had an ancient and refined appearance, and was dressed in a wide-sleeved robe. He seemed somewhat incredulous at this moment.
"This guy has some amazing skills!"

Li Yanchu sensed that at least four people had locked onto him using the Great Dao of Cause and Effect. As the power of cause and effect surged forward, he once again swung his sword down, severing the connection between himself and these people.

The pursuit continued, and Li Yanchu had been on the run in the Great Void for several years without anyone noticing.

The one who hunted him down the most was the Grand Master of Ceremonies.

This old fellow is truly thorough when he turns on you; he is also very capable, possessing the power to encompass all things.

No matter whether Li Yanchu severed cause and effect or reincarnation, he could not stop this old guy's pursuit.

Li Yanchu couldn't help but explode in anger, "Don't you have anything better to do? You're chasing me like a madman!"

Li Yanchu's Void Dao is infinitely changeable, and combined with this jujube tree, others can no longer find him, thus reducing the intensity of their pursuit.

Only the Grand Master of Ceremonies, with his exceptional skills, kept a close pursuit, able to find Li Yanchu's trail no matter where he appeared.

In a sense, Li Yanchu never truly got rid of him.

The Grand Master of Ceremonies said earnestly, "If you don't die, you will spread your outrageous words everywhere. I cannot allow His Majesty to have this stain on his body."

Li Yanchu sneered: "So you know the truth, and you also know that Bai Junwu, whom you serve, isn't exactly clean."

The Grand Master of Ceremonies roared, "You're dead no matter what you say!"

Li Yanchu angrily retorted, "You old scoundrel, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

His own aura circulated, terrifying to the extreme, and the soaring killing intent gathered into a majestic figure that slowly emerged in the vast void.

The Grand Master's expression was quite solemn.

Li Yanchu has been on the run for several years, and it's unclear what kind of supernatural power he has comprehended.

Seeing Li Yanchu's desperate appearance, the Grand Master of Ceremonies had no choice but to treat him with caution.

However, when he pointed his finger, the murderous aura suddenly vanished without a trace and shattered with a crash.

When they went to check again, Li Yanchu had already disappeared.

The Grand Master's lips twitched slightly.
"You brat, I will kill you!"

After this incident, the Grand Master still lost track of Li Yanchu and could no longer find any trace of him.

After searching in vain, he had no choice but to return to his old home.

.........

On the other side, Li Yanchu had already fled to Zhenjitian.

These forces within the Great Void, the Dao Domain harbors a deep-seated hatred for him, and the Old Land is now also doing its utmost to hunt him down.

There was no need for Jiexu to show him any malice, but after meeting Yuanzu, his self-serving manner of offering himself to him was somewhat frightening.

Furthermore, under these circumstances, seeking help would be seen as being a freeloader, so Li Yanchu ultimately chose Zhen Jitian.

Upon arriving at Zhenjitian, Li Yanchu was unconsciously awestruck by the magnificent and exquisite architecture here.

The buildings here are tall and desolate, exuding a wild and untamed feel, with dragon-shaped patterns or decorations everywhere.

Simply put, the architecture here has a strong ethnic influence.

Li Yanchu walked down the bustling street, where many dragon women were eyeing the young Taoist priest.

Taoist priests are not uncommon here, but Li Yanchu is handsome and tall, which makes people take notice.

As Li Yanchu curiously surveyed the tall, wild dragon city, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Brother, this must be your first time visiting Zhenjitian. How about I invite you for a drink?"

Li Yanchu turned her head and saw a young man who looked very delicate and androgynous. He was wearing a large robe with his chest half open, revealing his strong muscles.

If this person hadn't been dressed like this, Li Yanchu would have really thought he was a woman disguised as a man.

Seeing this, Li Yanchu cupped his hands and said, "No need to trouble you, fellow Daoist, to spend money." The young man smiled and said, "You are a guest from afar, so let me do my part as a host."

He warmly invited Li Yanchu into the restaurant.

Upon entering, the innkeeper, a middle-aged man who looked amiable, quickly came to greet him with a smile and said, "It is an honor to have you here, sir. I am sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

The young man nodded, not taking the compliment from the manager of Zhenjitian's largest restaurant to heart.

The innkeeper led the two of them to a private room on the second floor.

Li Yanchu sighed, "To be honest, I don't have much money on me, so it's impossible for me to even get a meal here in Zhenjitian."

The young man blinked and said, "Just do some business that requires no capital."

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "Are you, a local, encouraging me to come here and rob people?"

The young man chuckled and said, "These days, what isn't taken back by force?"

Li Yanchu shrugged, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Soon the food and drinks arrived. Zhen Jitian's food and drinks were quite rustic, mainly barbecue, which had a unique flavor.

The young man introduced them to Li Yanchu with a smile.
"My name is Su Zixu."

Li Yanchu asked, "You know me?"

The young man smiled and said, "The youngest and most promising crown prince of the old land, the number one rebel in history, the hero who killed Shao Hongjun, who wouldn't recognize him?"

That damned Bai Junwu framed me… Li Yanchu said, “Since you know it was me, why did you still invite me for drinks? Are you trying to stall me?”

Su Zixu smiled slightly: "Are you a little scared?"

Li Yanchu picked up the white jade cup beside him. The wine in the cup was like amber. He took a sip and found it tasted a bit like wine, cool and refreshing.

Then Li Yanchu smiled and said, "The wine is good. Being able to have a full meal while on the run is enough to keep us on the run."

Su Zixu laughed and said, "I was just joking. Now that you've arrived in Zhenji Heaven, just settle down here."

Li Yanchu said, "I have some connection with the Dragon Ancestor. If they find out that you took me in, they probably won't let you off the hook."

Su Zixu said, "They won't know you've arrived in Zhenji Heaven so quickly. Besides, my father might even welcome you with open arms and invite you to join us."

Li Yanchu said, "Your father? You are the son of the Dragon Ancestor?"

Su Zixu said, "I am the seventh son of the Dragon Ancestor."

Li Yanchu said, "My apologies, I didn't expect you to be a prince."

Su Zixu said, "In the True Heaven, princes are not valuable. I have thousands of brothers and sisters, some of whom are not pure-blooded dragons. Dragons are inherently promiscuous, and it is common for them to leave offspring with other races."

Li Yanchu said, "Thousands of brothers and sisters? The days must be very lively."

Su Zixu smiled bitterly.

He picked up a piece of golden-brown roasted meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, then took a sip of wine.

The two then stopped talking about these things and simply drank together.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Zixu invited Li Yanchu to his residence as a guest.

Li Yanchu said, "I'm afraid that associating with you will bring you disaster, so I'd better not go. We're just strangers who met by chance, so having a meal together is just right."

Su Zixu said, "I am not afraid of bringing disaster, but I sincerely want to make friends, and there are people waiting for me at home."

Li Yanchu asked, "Who is it?"

Su Zixu said, "Fellow Daoist Li will know once he goes and sees it for himself. What do you say? Do you have the courage to come with me?"

Li Yanchu smiled and said, "Then please lead the way, Brother Su."

The two walked slowly down the wide street.

According to the information Li Yanchu had previously gathered, Zhen Jitian was very similar to another realm, so Li Yanchu had never had a good impression of Zhen Jitian.

The Dragon Clan rules the True Heaven, and all other races are slaves. Even those Dragons with slightly inferior bloodlines are treated like slaves. The entire True Heaven is strictly hierarchical.

However, when Li Yan first arrived here, he found that although the hotel manager was very polite to Prince Su Zixu, that was all.

Moreover, many pedestrians on the street chatted and laughed very freely.

Li Yanchu saw people from many different races gathered here, and even saw a young dragon get into a quarrel and fight with a race from another universe.

The incident started because the young dragon kept staring at the stall owner's wife while he was buying something.

The stall owner's wife had a pair of fox ears and a large, fluffy white tail behind her. Her collar was slightly open, her face was slightly flushed, and sweat was gently dripping from her forehead.

The stall owner sells sesame cakes, Zhen Jitian's sesame cakes. If you remove the special ingredients and special spiritual herbs, in Li Yanchu's eyes, they are actually no different from ordinary sesame cakes.

The stall owners, a husband and wife, were both very clean. The stall owner looked short but sturdy, and seemed like a hardworking and diligent person.

The stall owner's wife was simply dressed; although she was very beautiful, she was also dignified in her demeanor.

The stall owner angrily grabbed the dragon youth by the collar. The dragon youth's face turned bright red as he kept explaining.
"I really didn't look. I was just looking at the sesame seed cake. I didn't look at her chest."

Upon hearing this, the stall owner became even more furious: "You said my wife has no future selling pancakes with me, and that she should go with you and live a life of luxury!"

The young dragon quickly waved his hand and said, "It was just a few jokes."

The two argued back and forth.

Li Yanchu found it amusing and said to Su Zixu, "I heard that in this True Heaven, the Dragon Clan is the highest level, and other races are like livestock. How come it seems that this is not the case now?"

Su Zixu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Rumors are harmful."

Li Yanchu said, "All that I knew before was just rumors?"

Su Zixu said, "From what I know of the Old Land, the people there are all demons and gods. They like to devour each other, and their own wives and children are often eaten. They have no humanity whatsoever."

Li Yanchu and Su Zixu exchanged a glance, and then fell silent.

The distance between Shinkiten and the Old Land is indeed too great; in both descriptions, they are extremely terrifying places.

Li Yanchu's heart stirred, and he asked, "What about the Dao Domain?"

Su Zixu said, "That is a sacred place in the Great Void. There are advanced cultivation techniques, tireless seekers of the Dao, and a relaxed learning atmosphere. Countless people regard it as a sacred place and try to go there."

Li Yanchu said, "Since it's such a wonderful place, does Zhen Jitian still want to be its enemy?"

Su Zixu sneered, "The disciples of the Dao Domain, in order to cultivate the Dao of Annihilation, will plunge an entire universe into a great calamity of annihilation. Cultivating the Dao of Tribulation will cause its calamity to erupt prematurely. Cultivating the Dao of Reincarnation will cause countless beings in an entire universe to fall into reincarnation and become monsters. They are indeed pure seekers of the Dao, but their pursuit of the Dao is far too bloody. If they continue to pursue the Dao in this way, there will probably be no living beings left in the Great Void. The Great Void has suffered under the Dao Domain for too long and must be overthrown."

Looking into Su Zixu's sharp gaze, Li Yanchu recalled the evil deeds committed by those Dao Domain disciples in order to cultivate the Great Dao of Tribulation, and felt a pang of emotion.

Li Yanchu watched as the young pancake vendor angrily pulled at the dragon youth and thought to himself, "Seeing is believing."

What he saw today was indeed quite shocking, but Li Yanchu wanted to see it a little longer.

Could there still be countless bones hidden beneath this seemingly peaceful facade?
