Chapter 465: Chapter 390: Yangtou City (2)

Reaching the Heaven-Reaching Realm was just around the corner.

During this time, however, Xiaoqi’s cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.

It had already broken through to the Heaven-Reaching Realm and was now pushing toward the next one.

By the time Lin Yi reached the Heaven-Reaching Realm, Xiaoqi would probably already be preparing to break through to the Beidou Realm.

This made Lin Yi envious of Xiaoqi’s cultivation talent.

’I’m a man of destiny with a Golden Finger, yet I can’t even keep up with Xiaoqi’s progress?’

’It seems a divine beast’s bloodline really is the ultimate cheat.’

The Xiaoqi of today had long since transformed into a large, multicolored bird.

Even with its wings folded, its body was over a meter long.

And with its wings fully spread, Xiaoqi’s wingspan could reach about five meters.

Soaring through the blue sky, it looked just like a small fighter jet.

Two months ago, after Lin Yi and Xiaoqi had a long talk through the night mainly about the matter of Xiaoqi’s "little brothers," Xiaoqi no longer had large flocks of birds trailing behind it.

However, whenever Xiaoqi needed them, those flocks would still rush over at a moment’s notice.

Lin Yi glanced back at Xiaoqi, which was lying there resting.

He took out ten jin of Demon Beast Meat from his Storage Ring.

Nowadays, feeding Xiaoqi was no longer a matter of cutting the meat into small pieces.

Instead, he would just toss it a piece of Demon Beast Meat weighing several jin.

For the current Xiaoqi, a piece of Demon Beast Meat like this was merely a few mouthfuls.

In the blink of an eye, it was all swallowed down.

Only after Xiaoqi had eaten and drunk its fill did Lin Yi walk out of the room.

He picked up his phone and glanced at the caller ID.

He was surprised to find over a dozen missed calls...

"Hello? Wei Nan, what’s going on?"

Lin Yi returned the call. Of the dozen-plus missed calls, the vast majority were from Wei Nan.

Wei Shang, Feng Lei, and Shan Kui had also called.

But only once or twice each, so he decided to call Wei Nan back first.

"Holy shit, you finally called back!"

"The city on my end is already cleared out! Old Wei and Old Feng are also wrapping things up!"

"According to our investigation!"

"A large number of Blood Handprint members are all running to Yangtou City right now!"

"Quite a few of them have already gathered there..."

Hearing Wei Nan’s words, Lin Yi’s brow furrowed deeply. "Yangtou City?"

The next moment, a map of the Old District appeared in Lin Yi’s mind.

His current city, along with the locations of Wei Nan, Wei Shang, Feng Lei, and Shan Kui, formed a semi-encircling perimeter.

For the Blood Handprint members to all flee to Yangtou City was a choice born of desperation—their only escape route.

Yangtou City was a border city in the Old District.

It was poorly managed, the environment was complex, and the terrain was more treacherous.

A border city where all sorts of people mingled, it was filled with bloodshed, violence, and crime.

And since it was located in the Old District, there was no semblance of order to speak of.

You could even be walking down the street and get stabbed for no reason at all.

Clearly, this was the Blood Handprint members’ last resort.

They wanted to blend in there and save their own miserable lives.

Lin Yi, however, just smiled and nodded. "Since we’ve already tracked their escape route, let’s just rendezvous directly in Yangtou City!"

Hearing this, Wei Nan on the other end of the line agreed, "Alright, we’ll meet in Yangtou City. Should I inform Old Wei and the others, or will you?"

"You make the call. Tell them to head straight to Yangtou City!"

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Lin Yi sat in the living room and rested for a moment.

Then he went into the room and said to Xiaoqi, "Let’s go. We’re heading to Yangtou City!"

Xiaoqi looked up at Lin Yi, a trace of confusion in its eyes.

Lin Yi couldn’t be bothered to explain.

After packing up, he directly contacted a Right Guard named Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu had practically become Lin Yi’s exclusive guard.

He led ten elites from the Right Guard and always remained by Lin Yi’s side.

For several months, wherever Lin Yi went, they followed.

After telling Ah Jiu to prepare to head to Yangtou City, Ah Jiu and his men packed up immediately and waited in the hotel lobby downstairs.

When Lin Yi appeared, they all got into their vehicles and drove straight for Yangtou City...

The journey spanned over a thousand kilometers.

It took a full day and night to arrive.

During that time, they stayed overnight in a city along the way.

They didn’t reach Yangtou City until the next morning.

When Lin Yi stepped out of the car, a scene in the distance of Yangtou City made his brow furrow deeply.

On both sides of a highway hung several corpses.

They looked like they had been dead for a long time, their bodies already desiccated by the wind.

Now, they looked more like mummified husks.

But even so, no one paid them any mind, and certainly, no one had dealt with the bodies.

Lin Yi scanned his surroundings again.

In the outskirts of Yangtou City, there wasn’t a single household to be seen.

On the empty land, there was no sign of farmers either.

It was as if agriculture didn’t exist in this city at all.

’It makes sense, though,’ he thought. ’Why would anyone who genuinely wants to live a peaceful life come here?’

This place was a paradise for criminals; bloodshed and violence were its calling cards.

Furthermore, it was a city completely outside of official control.

It was, for all intents and purposes, a city without a government.

Lin Yi looked around for a few moments more, then turned and got back into the car.
