Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 232 230 A Trivial Skill, Showing Off One's Axe Before an Expert

"This……"

"I'll go take a look first, and find out what's going on later." Wang Wu stood up from his chair, left these words, and disappeared from Tianxiang Restaurant, leaving Li Xiang sitting in her seat in a daze.

"This, this, this..."

It wasn't until two minutes after Wang Wu left that Li Xiang suddenly came to his senses. He looked sharply across the table, but Wang Wu was no longer there.

At this very moment, in a small alley in Sihanoukville.

Although he didn't know why such things were related to alleys, Wang Wu did indeed sense the presence of that thing in this place.

It wasn't underground, but above ground. It seems these evil forces are quite bold, or perhaps they think the most dangerous place is the safest place.

Instead of rushing in immediately, he activated the Yin Yin Divine Sect's signature skill, Blur, and walked into the house through the entrance. Although many people saw him along the way, no one paid him any attention.

This skill is really useful, not just for infiltration. Its real strength lies in this: when you are in this state, of course, provided that your skill level and realm are high enough, and the opponent's realm is not higher than yours.

In this state, whatever you do to that person, although they will be aware of what they are doing, they will not take it seriously.

Unless the attack directly harms him, he won't realize that someone is targeting him.

Even if he discovers it, he won't know that it was you who was interfering all along.

Of course, if you want to stone him to death in front of him, he will still dodge it, or set up some overly obvious trap.

Although this skill is basically ineffective against people stronger than you, its effect will be reduced even against people of similar strength, with only some of its effects being effective.

But this is already pretty amazing.

Just like now, Wang Wu swaggered into the house without anyone stopping him or finding anything amiss.

Of course, this skill might be more suitable for protagonists in certain movies. As for which protagonists... well, not those time-stopping series, but serious movies.

However, you can indeed use this skill to do this, and the effect is even better because it's more interactive. He will subconsciously treat you as his closest person, even if the other person is actually single.

Therefore, within the territory of Cloudlight City, arbitrarily activating the 'Blur' or 'Hidden in the World' skill is illegal. If caught, it is a criminal offense and you will have to go to jail.

Imagine a first-rank master who has long coveted a second-rank master, but has never been able to win her heart. With this skill, he could secretly win over his goddess, his beloved...

cough cough.

In short, this skill of the Extreme Heaven God Sect is not open to its disciples, because it is an extremely powerful stealth skill that can only be learned by official members of the assassin organization, Shura Blood Fiend.

The Yin-Yang Divine Sect is, after all, a legitimate sect registered in Yunguang City. Whether it's righteous or not is another matter, but it's definitely legitimate and formal enough.

However, this skill is not officially taught to the disciples of the Jitian Divine Sect, but quite a few disciples of the Jitian Divine Sect do know this skill.

So where did they learn this skill? It's really hard to guess.

However, this kind of thing is not a big deal. We are all martial arts practitioners, so this kind of thing is really nothing. It's just a skill. It's not that it will cause any great harm to society.

After all, time-stopping martial arts techniques exist there, let alone a stealth skill that greatly reduces the effect on the same level and reduces the effect by 90% on the next higher level.

However, the blurring effect itself is still very effective. Even an ultimate assassin like Yin Shenli often uses this skill to carry out missions and kill people invisibly.

Although the opponent usually can't detect her whether she uses it or not, this skill is still very powerful, extremely powerful.

After all, it's a skill that even the sect leader and the Asura Lord use.

At this moment, in this place, no one would be able to find Wang Wu.

He swaggered into the house, pushed open the door, and an incredibly eerie aura emanated from inside.

This was not a normal way of entering, so when Wang Wu pushed the door open, all the powerful figures in the city felt this aura.

This aura belongs to evil and heretical sects.

Not only them, but also the heretical practitioners in this house right now.

“What’s going on!??”

In a room in the basement of the house, a withered-looking monk suddenly opened his eyes. As he exhaled musical notes, an incredibly dense aura of evil energy also emanated from his mouth.

It was obvious that this cultivator was not a normal person, and judging from the evil aura emanating from him, he was probably an extremely terrifying being.

But to be honest, no matter how terrifying it was, he still couldn't see Wang Wu, because his strength was weaker than Wang Wu's, and not just a little weaker.

Although this evil cultivator's strength may already be considered among the most powerful here, perhaps even standing at the top of the current human power pyramid, excluding Wang Wu.

However, the gap between him and Wang Wu is still very large, and not just a little large.

After all, Wang Wu's strength cannot be described in words. His strength has far exceeded the imagination of humans in this world. Well, not that exaggerated.

But no matter what, under the guidance of his two masters and the First Martial Master, Wang Wu's hard work and diligent practice over this period of time have not been in vain. Now he is really only one step away from the third rank.

Although this step will take some time, it is indeed only one step away.

Given such immense power and the vast difference in their levels, this evil cultivator had absolutely no chance of discovering Wang Wu.

However, not being able to find Wang Wu doesn't mean they can't find anyone else, because the moment Wang Wu pushed open that door, the altar in the West Port District was already exposed.

As the area with the worst public security in Yingdu, Xigang District sees a number of people die every year. It's not a huge number, but it's definitely not insignificant.

While local officials will take charge of cases involving death, the investigations are not very thorough. The prevailing social climate in this country dictates that many cases are not easy to solve, and finding the perpetrator is not easy either.

This isn't Wang Wu's hometown, although the technological level there is significantly lower than here—yes, actually lower. It's a fact, though hard to admit. Despite the lower technological level back home, security cameras aren't a common sight in this big city.

Of course, this technology exists here, but it wasn't used much in the past due to cost issues. It's impossible to install these things in every corner of the city, and the cameras here aren't very convenient to use.

Well, it's actually very convenient, it's just that cameras aren't very common here due to cost and perception issues.

However, contact with the March people brought a lot of March people's technology, and the March civilization, which is similar to the technological civilization back home, must have cameras, and they were produced in large quantities, had good image quality, and were cheap to manufacture.

However, due to prevailing perceptions, this technology has not yet been widely adopted.

For some reason, the public in Yingdu generally resisted the installation of this device. As a result of this resistance, although there are more security cameras in Yingdu than before, they are still very rare in the Xinhang District.

After all, if you install one, the other party will destroy it. No matter how low the cost is, it simply won't survive for that long, and there's nothing you can do about it.

As for assigning personnel or setting up formations to guard it, that brings us back to the problem mentioned above: the cost is too high.

The main problem is the cameras here. Putting aside the cameras produced by March Civilization Technology, the cameras made here are truly capable of capturing souls.

The idea that cameras can steal a person's soul, as was the case with people from Wang Wu's hometown during the Qing Dynasty, is not superstition, but a real possibility.

The 'Soul-Capturing Mirror'—that's what it was called in the past, and it was a favorite tool of many evil sects.

If someone holds this thing up their head and shines it on you, your soul will be captured instantly; some people even find their entire body inside the mirror.

This is the real reason why people here generally oppose cameras.

This is also why the Pure Land School set up the altar here. The official monitoring of the West Port area is very weak. Because of the large flow of people and the large number of ships entering and leaving the area every day, it is quite chaotic.

Logically, places with high foot traffic should have more stringent surveillance, but Yingdu is different; where there are many people, things are more chaotic, making it easier to take action.

Moreover, local management agencies collude with certain organizations. Although those organizations are not evil sects, they will certainly do some illegal things and open up some illegal channels in order to seize more profits.

Did the ruling class of this capital know about this? In fact, they did, and most likely they did.

However, many of these organizations are actually connected to them... no, they have countless connections. Whether it's true or not, the local authorities certainly don't want to offend the real rulers.

Those royal nobles, those top figures, those...

How should I put it? The true administrators and rulers of this country.

That's just how the world is; that's the logic behind how the world works.

Okay, I've digressed, but anyway, as a rising power, the Chu state had a very healthy structure. After all, it was an advanced civilization; although it looked ancient, it was actually surprisingly 'advanced'.

As a nation, it has existed for tens of thousands of years, dating back to the distant Xia Dynasty, and has survived through numerous ups and downs and changes of royal families.

It's still the same group of people. Although the ruling families have changed hands several times, there are still a few incredibly ancient and long-standing families in this country.

They were not kings, but they were the true rulers of this country.

Having ruled this country for so long, they naturally know what they can and cannot do. To ensure the continuation of this country and their own families, they will naturally be very 'incorruptible'.

As long as your corruption doesn't affect development, they can turn a blind eye to it, and even your dealings with evil and heretical people are acceptable.

Everything is fine until that absolute red line is crossed.

But once touched, it unleashes the power of thunder, sweeping away all filth.

There is a reason why the State of Chu was able to exist for so long, and the reason is quite simple: they knew how to make the difficult decision to cut off their own arm.

Even if they can't do it, other families can help them.

As long as your self-cleaning system remains effective and can promptly curb the spread of pollution, you can survive for a long time.

It sounds simple, and it is indeed very simple, but very few people can actually do it.

At least in Wang Wu's hometown, from ancient times to the present... well, let's not talk about that.

In short, less than ten seconds had passed before a powerful figure broke through the void and arrived here when the aura of the Pure Land Sect was leaked.

"It is indeed here."

A man wearing a feathered crown floated expressionlessly in the sky, looking down at the monks and ordinary people in the houses and courtyards below.

Of course, there are ordinary people here too, because it's just a very ordinary house.

But these ordinary people also have their extraordinary qualities, namely:
They were all followers of the Pure Land School.

This place is actually not so easy to find. It is protected by a large array, so even a powerful cultivator like the man with the feathered crown could fly right up to it without feeling anything amiss.

The scanning of various magical artifacts is ineffective; even if someone were to break in, they would not normally notice anything amiss.

This is the same 'sleight of hand' as Wang Wu's blurriness, and a very sophisticated one at that.

They managed to play dirty tricks right under the noses of a group of unparalleled experts in the capital of the Great Chu.

Unfortunately, this seemingly flawless disguise, this seemingly invincible illusion, still ran into Wang Wu, this divine being who cultivated the Yin-Yang Divine Sect's techniques.

If it were just the Yin Yin Divine Sect, that would be one thing, but the problem is that he also knows the Asura Blood Fiend techniques, and he knows almost everything that can be learned.

This is rather awkward for the Pure Land Buddhist practitioners living in this house.

It's like trying to play with excrement in front of a latrine cleaner... no, I mean, showing off one's limited skills before an expert.
