If anyone tries to sabotage the current situation while I'm away, or dares to act recklessly, I will kill them.
"At worst, I'll wipe them out, company and all, when I get back."
"Don't worry, boss! Uncle Long isn't made of clay. Anyone who dares to provoke me, I'll teach them a lesson in ruthlessness!"
Awoo waved its paws and said confidently.
The three kids plus Li Huodan are more than capable in terms of both strength and intelligence. With the help of the people I left behind, there shouldn't be any major problems.
And if all goes well, he might be back in about a day, and in such a short time, probably no one would dare to show their face.
"Okay, let's go then."
But Cang Lan remained motionless, staring at Li Xia in shock: "You, you didn't bring your divine equipment?"
"Divine preparations?"
Li Xia turned her head and glanced at Aowu.
Oh...right, Awoo is my divine weapon.
He waved his hand: "No need."
"But... but without divine protection, how will you fight?"
Li Xia stood there and sighed. This was the price of lying.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up. Obviously, if we don't give them a reasonable explanation now, these three people will definitely become suspicious.
Perhaps they're not even confident in the path they stumbled upon, and they'll go looking for other paths, only to end up self-destructing – that would be interesting.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xia said seriously, "This is how it is when you break through; you don't know because you haven't broken through."
"So that's how it is," Cang Lan suddenly realized, and even started brainstorming again: "Could it be that after the breakthrough, the rules no longer need to be closely integrated with the divine preparations as before?"
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that Dark Flame did not combine with Divine Power during the battle.
It is precisely because the two sides maintain a de facto distance, yet because their souls and emotions are so closely connected, that they can operate without divine intervention.
In other words... even without divine protection, the hunter remains at the peak of combat power.
No wonder Dark Flame has such great confidence; it seems that breaking through really makes a difference!
Thinking of this, Canglan felt a surge of excitement in her heart.
He clenched his fists, thinking to himself, "I must break through as soon as possible!"

Chapter 26 Mysterious City
A small transport plane was parked in the yard of the villa. The four people filed in, and with a slight jolt, the transport plane soared into the blue sky.
The azure dome at the top of the sky automatically cracked open, allowing the plane to pass through before slowly closing again.
Keiko stood up, looked ahead for a while, and then returned with a somewhat grim expression. She said in a low voice, "Unmanned."
The expressions on the faces of the others gradually turned grim.
The fact that it's driverless indicates that, according to Yuanxu's assessment, this trip is extremely dangerous. Ordinary employees, and even the driver, could be attacked, which is why this intelligent driving method was used to transport them.
"Di-"
The cabin lights flickered, and a cold, mechanical sound filled the cabin:
"Supreme Command from the Primordial Leader"
Mission objective: Eliminate the rebels! And assist the containment organization in recovering the isomers they possess.
The mission location has been synchronized to your personal information device.
Entering a silent state soon!
They will be deployed upon arrival at the designated location.
The transport plane sped along, and all that could be felt was a slight tremor around it.
Cang Lan and the others remained silent, heads bowed, lost in thought.
As the transport plane hovered again, the lights inside the cabin changed, and the tail hatch slowly opened.
The three of them packed up the equipment and supplies issued to them in the cabin, and then looked at Li Xia strangely, who was empty-handed and ready to take everything with him.
"These supplies...aren't you taking any with you? This is all resupply!"
Li Xia shook her head, very decisively: "I don't need it."
"Then what about food and drink?"
Jin Zi looked at him warily, clutching the supply pack tightly in her hands: "It's a deal, I'm not giving you any."
People who come out of the back alley all have one thing in common: an almost fanatical obsession with food, a consequence of being hungry for too long.
Li Xia shook his head: "I don't need to eat. This is how it is when we break through; you guys don't know because you haven't broken through."
Azure: ......
Violet Purple: ......
Jade: ......
After saying that, he stepped out of the cabin first and floated lightly down to the ground. All around him was a vast expanse of desolation, with dim sunlight streaming down, and a huge ruin unfolded before his eyes.
The ruins stretched as far as the eye could see, like the remains of a dead giant, carrying an indescribable atmosphere of terror.
Li Xia looked at the three people who landed lightly as well, then at the transport plane that was already flying back, and couldn't help but feel a little strange:
"Isn't there a plane? Why doesn't it take us directly to the location?"
"You don't even know this?" Cang Lan was somewhat astonished, then suddenly remembered that the other person had lost their memory, fearing that he would say something like, 'That's how it is when you break through; you haven't broken through, so you wouldn't know.'
He quickly added, "The rules of the outside world have collapsed."
Don't be fooled by its seemingly normal appearance; in reality, it's riddled with distorted rules.
For example, the airspace ahead may look fine, but once a plane enters, people might get scattered or thrown to other places.
It's even possible that they could be wiped out entirely. The entire world is in immense danger, and currently only the shelters are relatively stable.
As Cang Lan finished speaking, she glanced down at the positioning given by the leader of Yuan Xu and took a deep breath.
"The target is in the city center... Looks like this is going to be tough. Stick close to me!"
In most people's minds, the wilderness is much more dangerous than the city.
But in this world, the dangers of the city are many times greater than those of the wilderness.
When the rules break down, human desires combine with the rules, resulting in distortion.
In contrast, the wilderness, being sparsely populated, has relatively fewer instances of distortion.
The larger the city, the more people live there, and the more distortions and strangenesses will occur when it collapses.
Some rules are extremely powerful; they possess incredible strength and undetectable strangeness.
The city of Modo, where they live, was once one of the world's top ten megacities. Thanks to technological advancements, its population density has reached an astonishing level.
At its peak, it housed over 80 million people.
For hunters, this place is an absolute den of demons!
"By the way, Darkflame, do you still remember the Hunter's Hand Signs?"
Suddenly, Cang Lan remembered something and quickly stopped.
Because sound might attract monsters or trigger some inexplicable rules.
Therefore, when hunters come to the wilderness, they avoid communicating with words and instead use a very complex set of sign language.
"I don't remember!"
Jin Zi opened her mouth, looking at Li Xia with a hint of helplessness: "You forgot about this too?"
Li Xia nodded: "Yes, but you can do it once and show me."
How can you remember something after just one time?
Although Jin Zi muttered to herself, she patiently stood still and began to explain the sign language.
In addition to using gestures to represent concrete things, this sign language can also be combined with unique trajectories to represent modal particles and prepositions.
It is already a fairly mature set of gestures.
Li Xia stood still, carefully observing Jin Zi's movements and posture.
As a titled hunter, Violet was extremely fast; she demonstrated the basics in less than an hour.
"So, how much did you remember?"
Li Xia nodded: "Okay, I've memorized it all."
"It's okay if you can't remember, we'll... wait a bit!"
Jin Zi was stunned: "What did you just say? You remembered everything? How is that possible?"
She made a gesture, half-believing and half-doubting, and said in sign language, "You really remembered it all?"
Li Xia quickly gestured and said, "I've memorized it all."
The three of them looked at him as if he were a monster.
Title hunters are powerful, and their memory is also improved, but if you can remember 20-30% of what you see after reading it all, that's already pretty good.
Dark Flame, what the heck is this "remember all of this"?!
Seeing their expressions, Li Ce knew what they were thinking, and immediately made a series of casual hand gestures:
"This is how it is when we break through; you don't know because you haven't."
..........................
The moment I stepped into Moto City, the air seemed to thicken.
The road surface beneath my feet had long lost its smooth appearance. The roads in Moto City were somewhat similar to real asphalt roads, but also different.
The road surface now has a strange charred black color, and various odd bumps or depressions have appeared, as if it had been baked by high temperature and then randomly solidified.
Some glittering fragments were embedded in the cracks. Jin Zi pointed to the sparkling debris in the cracks and gestured in sign language:
"That's a product of broken rules. Don't get too close, it could trigger a chain reaction."
The four people formed a rhombus, with the blue arrow pointing towards them, and were scouting ahead. He was not only strong, but also incredibly lucky.
By taking him as the apex, one can encounter the fewest conflicts and sometimes even reach the end smoothly.
Li Xia brought up the rear, firstly because he had 'forgotten' many things and could only follow behind, and secondly because he was quite powerful and could be there in case something happened ahead.
They can also step in promptly as a reserve force.
The deeper you go into the city, the fewer collapsed buildings there are, and the more distorted buildings there are.
Some buildings were stretched vertically, with twenty-story buildings becoming nearly a hundred-meter-tall, slender monsters, and windows stretched into vertical slits, like countless squinting, cold eyes.
Some residential buildings are twisted into a spiral shape, like a twisted rope repeatedly twisted by a giant hand, or like a screw.
The sky over this city was also distorted, with the yellowish clouds wrinkled by an invisible force.
The sun looked like a boiled egg, its rays falling in all sorts of distorted ways, sometimes even scattering into exceptionally beautiful colors.
Looking at the sky, Li Xia knew that what Cang Lan had said earlier made a lot of sense.
Such space transport aircraft can really fly in and then disappear. Even though they are infiltrating from the outside, they are extremely cautious and are moving in little by little.
A faint humming sound floats in the air here, not like the wind, but rather like a collection of many different sounds coming together.
Even with your ears covered, you can still hear it, as if countless people are whispering in the distance. You can't hear what they're saying, but it appears directly in your mind. This illusion makes you feel so uncomfortable that you want to pry open your skull.
However, the sound was like a useless buzzing to Li Xia; with a thought, the sound disappeared from his mind.
As he traveled, he even had the leisure to carefully observe this twisted city he had never seen before.
The streets were lined with rusty hovercars, some of which were still suspended in mid-air, maintaining their driving posture.
The car body was covered with layers of rust, and the open doors revealed an empty space inside.
