I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

While everyone was being killed by Li Hao one by one, inside the City That Never Sleeps...

As the life tablets placed by the patriarchs of various families shattered one after another, it was a bolt from the blue for those who were eagerly waiting for their elders to return!

No, how could he/she be gone?!

At first, they thought something had gone wrong, since the Soul Talisman wasn't always accurate and could malfunction.

But when they came out and saw the other families coming out in a panic, just like their own, their hearts sank.

The various families immediately exchanged information and learned that the life tablets of all those who chased after them had been shattered.

They're going crazy!

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

He fought alone against twenty-six Earth Soul and Heaven Soul experts, at the Returning Origin Realm level.

Whether Li Hao is alright or not is unknown, but all of their men are dead!

The magnitude of the news is beyond what can be explained in just a few words.

These powerful families truly lived up to their reputation for carving out their own territory in the City That Never Sleeps. Despite the emotional disbelief, the leaders of these various factions, driven by reason, issued an order.

The entire clan relocated!

Or, to put it more accurately, the entire clan fled!

Even if Li Hao were to perish along with them, after losing the protection of the strongest, they would still be devoured by other forces within the City That Never Sleeps.

By now.

The only option is to run away!

……

After retrieving all the bedrock, Li Hao finally discerned the direction and hurried back to the City That Never Sleeps.

Not long after takeoff, Wu Liangsheng's voice suddenly rang out.

"Congratulations, you've broken through."

"I never imagined that you would actually overcome your mental tribulation in this way."

"I see all beings in the six realms as ants; I alone am supreme in heaven and on earth..."

"Arrogant enough, ruthless enough."

Hearing this, Li Hao came to his senses: "The mental tribulation is over already? I didn't feel anything!"

Wu Liangsheng laughed and said, "You don't feel anything because you haven't mobilized your own soul power."

"Listen to me, now close your eyes and sense the world around you."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao slowly closed his eyes.

As the view disappeared, all that could be seen was darkness.

Can you feel it with your eyes closed? How else can you feel it? Even without eyes, you still have a nose to smell various scents and skin to feel the breeze.

But this time, he had a different feeling.

Just like bats use sound waves to locate themselves, the mountains and rivers along the way are all imprinted in their minds.

Li Hao suddenly stopped and, for the first time, began to manipulate this perception, spreading it across the earth.

He saw lush flowers and plants, intertwined roots underground, and ants and many unknown insects bustling about.

Wu Liangsheng took the initiative to fly out of the ring. After all, in the current Dongli Continent, the Unity Realm and Martial God Realm were no longer there, and the Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul were almost all dead.

There's no need to worry about being discovered by anyone.

The moment Li Hao realized that Wu Liangsheng had flown out of the ring, his perception of him was clearer than ever before.

To give an example.

At this moment, the world was a black and white silent film, except for Wu Liangsheng, who was in color and had a layer of shimmering white light on his body.

It has reached a point where it can no longer be ignored.

Keep in mind that Li Hao had his eyes closed at the moment, but he was still able to "see" it.

"Is this the wondrous use of soul power?"

Li Hao murmured to himself, feeling quite intrigued by this power for the first time.

Wu Liangsheng shook his head and said, "Enhancing perception is a side effect of strengthening the soul. When fighting between experts of the same level, everyone's perception is about the same, so you won't gain any advantage."

"The most important thing for the soul is to become strong enough to break free from the shackles of the body and roam freely between heaven and earth."

Li Hao opened his eyes, looked at him, and sneered: "Freedom of movement? If I don't wipe those people out, let me see you 'freedom of movement'!"

Wu Liangsheng was speechless, feeling helpless.

After a slight pause, he said, "At least you have now entered the Divine Soul Realm. From now on, you must learn to imbue every move you make with your own soul power."

"That way, when we hit someone, we won't end up destroying their body but leaving their soul unharmed."

Li Hao asked, "What will happen then?"

Wu Liangsheng: "They'll be gone, soul and all, so you won't need to lift a finger."

This suited Li Hao's wishes perfectly; otherwise, fighting the body and soul separately would be quite troublesome.

Wu Liangsheng added, "This time you should be able to find many good things in the Medicine Tower, including treasures that can enhance the soul."

"If you can still replicate those treasures, then... then I really have nothing to say."

"Based on this calculation, you should be able to reach the threshold of the Earth Soul Realm within a year at most, and then you can try to separate your soul from your body."

When this matter was mentioned, Li Hao's expression became serious.

"One year... I hope the Medicine Tower doesn't mess things up. If all goes well, I can have my own physical body within a year."

……

As the sun peeked out from the east, the majestic city finally came into view again.

To Li Hao's surprise, Wang Yizhou was actually there in person, waiting for him to return.

Upon seeing Li Hao return, Wang Yizhou hurriedly went to greet him.

The expression on his face was quite complex.

"Welcome, senior."

Li Hao glanced at him and said, "I thought you'd be surprised to see me back. What's with that expression?"

As he spoke, Li Hao glanced at the city that never sleeps beneath his feet, looking slightly puzzled: "Why does it feel like there are fewer people in the city? It wasn't like this when I came here yesterday."

Wang Yizhou remarked quietly from the side, "With the relocation of the entire clans of the twenty-three powerful forces within the City of Never Sleeping, of course there are fewer people left."

Last night, when Li Hao killed those people, the life soul tablets they left in their respective clans shattered.

One or two might have encountered other problems, but if everyone's life spirit tablets are broken, what other possibilities are there?

Anyway, something must have happened, or they're all really dead.

Although it is hard to believe, it is the truth. Without the slightest hesitation, the leaders of the various families immediately ordered their entire clans to flee.

Because of the time crunch, many things couldn't be taken with us, resulting in huge losses. But at a time like this, we couldn't care less about those losses.

Things that couldn't be taken away were naturally coveted by others, and there were indeed quite a few looting incidents last night.

Fortunately, Wang Yizhou, one of only two people at the Earth Soul Realm, was still alive and intervened in time, preventing the chaos from spreading throughout the city.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao clicked his tongue and said, "They ran pretty fast, but it's alright."

"Issue a bounty on twenty-three families, right? Whoever can bring back the heads of all the people from any one of them, I'll give them a Heaven-Rank weapon!"

Wang Yizhou was speechless with astonishment.

Even a Martial God would take a second look at a Heavenly Rank weapon.

Twenty-three?!

Even if it's just a wooden sword, equivalent to a low-grade Heaven-rank weapon, it might not be enough to persuade a Martial God, but it would definitely tempt a Unity Realm expert.

As for those families, apart from a few families whose Unity Realm experts went to Xijuzhou, most of the remaining families had their strongest combat power already taken by Li Hao, and the highest level left was only Divine Soul Realm.

The thought of facing a Unity Realm expert in pursuit was truly terrifying.

but……

"Senior, have you forgotten? Among those people last night, there were two from our Medicine Tower?"

Li Hao waved his hand dismissively: "What's the big deal? I know that your Medicine Tower is fundamentally different from these families. I won't implicate the entire Medicine Tower because of two scoundrels."

"I don't hold grudges!"

He settles scores on the spot, and if he can't settle them himself, he finds someone else to do it for him. It's just a matter of spending money, right? Why would he be afraid of spending money?

Wang Yizhou's lips twitched for a while, but in the end he could only sigh.

In fact, if we look closely, according to the rules of the Medicine Tower, Li Hao also bears some responsibility.

After all, the whole thing started because Yan Guanghai robbed Gao Yuanfan, and Li Hao came to settle scores.

It would be fine to place it elsewhere, but it happens to be within the range of the medicine tower.

According to their rules, they should each slap each other, but this is Li Hao, who dares to slap him?

In addition, there is another very important reason.

That was the lower realm alloy sword that Li Hao had given him.

The three branch tower masters here are carrying wooden swords, so we don't need to tell them their origins. But this lower-realm alloy sword, which is comparable to a high-grade Heaven-rank weapon, and whose purpose is to ask the martial god of the Medicine Tower to take action, definitely needs to have its origins explained.

After he finished speaking, the central tower made it clear to him that he must not antagonize Li Hao.

It's just that two branch tower masters have died, and these two were practically courting death. The central tower isn't stupid; it won't cause trouble for Li Hao over this.

They might even praise him for killing him well.

All you need to do is report it truthfully.

Wang Yizhou clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Gao Yuanfan has already rested at the Medicine Tower. Please follow me, senior."
