Chapter 851 - Zen

You Capital, Qi Kingdom. Li Huowang was silently walking on the street but none of the busy civilians noticed him because Li Huowang had put on a fake face using the techniques of the Sitting Oblivion Dao.

In the capital city of Qi Kingdom, Li Huowang strolled through the streets in You Capital from the Qi Kingdom. Li Huowang had put on a face using the techniques of the Sitting Oblivion Dao, so none of the civilians noticed him.

He put his real face on one of the Mo family's “robots” in the palace to confuse the others.

He wasn’t sure if it would work, but he decided to do it anyway. So far, they hadn’t found out which world was trying to kill them, whether they asked the Gan family to use their divination skills or utilized the techniques of other sects.

They could only confirm that it was not the world where god Yu’er came from. They had once taken over the Qi Kingdom, and their world didn’t resemble a world inhabited by regular people.

Li Huowang could do nothing without knowing who was going to attack him. The only thing he could do was to wait and ambush the attackers.

He wasn’t sure if he had tipped them off last time, but no one had attacked the Qi Kingdom for a while. Still, Li Huowang couldn’t just spend all day waiting for them. He still needed to do his work to revive the Qi Kingdom.

He saw the civilians’ health improving and the Qi Kingdom slowly reviving. Both the palace and the Surveillance Bureau were being reconstructed, which also meant that the power he controlled was slowly expanding.

The survivors heard that the You Kingdom had food, so they slowly flocked there. The ones reaching the You Capital the fastest were, naturally, those with supernatural powers.

It was unclear whether this was due to the presence of a common enemy or Chan Du’s promise, but somehow, everything in the Qi Kingdom was within Li Huowang’s grasp.

With them under his command, Li Huowang could capture the assailants alive next time.

He needed to capture the Twisted One and pry out their spine to make another spine sword. He could then use it to enter their world to see what was going on.

He was thinking about it when he stopped after he saw Miao Guihua, the little girl, holding a few ribs while listening to an elderly man along with a group of other children.

Li Huowang took off his fake face and changed into his original face. He patted her head lightly. “What are you doing?”

The old man let out a deep sigh, appearing weary as he remembered. “Both my son and son-in-law were incredibly filial. They cut off their flesh to feed me, but now they are dead and I’m still alive. What an ironic twist of fate...”

“Bullshit.” Li Huowang frowned, and the people around him scattered. Soon, they were left alone.

“Who are you, and why are you here?” Li Huowang asked directly because he felt something was wrong with the old man. More importantly, the old man did not try to hide it.

The old man didn’t panic when Li Huowang saw through him and instead introduced himself courteously. “I am called Po Daer. I’m just a minor cultivator without any sect. I greet Daoist Li.”

“What are you cultivating?”

“Zen.”

“What kind of Zen?”

“Wild Fox Zen.”

“Wild Fox Zen?” Li Huowang inspected the old man before him and recalled his actions. He had a strange sense of familiarity to him.

“Old man, did you know I had an old friend who loved telling stories like you?”

“I’m not telling stories. I’m telling histories.”

“That’s doesn’t matter. Just like you, he always ran to another world to talk about stories. And more importantly, he was a Twisted One!”

Li Huowang had just said that when the ground beneath the old man sank, rendering him immobile.

Li Huowang then used his spine sword to stab towards the old man’s abdomen. However, just as the spine sword touched the old man’s body, the head of the old man shook violently before it shot up.

His organs were connected to the bottom of his neck as his head flew upwards into the air. Li Huowang had stabbed into the empty shell of the old man’s body.
