Chapter 78: Who Did It?
"Boss Yu, can you save me first?"
"I can't hold on any longer!"
Zhao Zicheng was grimacing and hopping around.
Yu Sheng put down the phone and carefully analyzed the battlefield situation in the direction of Zhao Zicheng. "Hmm... he can't beat you."
"Keep it up."
After saying that, he picked up a professional camera he had just switched to and started filming in Zhao Zicheng's direction.
In terms of real strength, the Cult follower behind him couldn't even be considered a full-fledged Awakener, at least... he didn't have a single crystal embedded.
For Zhao Zicheng, the greatest difficulty now was not how to survive, but how to break through the barriers within himself and truly take a life for the first time.
Seeing that Yu Sheng had no intention of saving him, Zhao Zicheng fell into despair and once again started his flight.
...
Mobei City.
Home.
Early in the morning, Yu Sanshui entered his home with a radiant face, pushing the door open and looking at the empty room with a trace of melancholy in his eyes.
But soon, he sat down on the sofa, somewhat tired.
Staring at the ceiling, he seemed lost in thought, as if recalling some past experiences.
Finally, he sighed deeply.
The expression he wore was one of lingering sadness.
His eyes even started to redden.
It was hard to imagine that a middle-aged man, who usually indulged in the beauty of the world, could have such an emotional side.
Silently, he took out a mirror and gently caressed it.
Murmuring to himself, he said, "This emotion... should be right now."
He took a deep breath, picked up his phone, and dialed a number: "Yuxin, I... ah..."
"It's nothing, just suddenly felt a bit down."
"Perhaps... your image surfaced again in my dreams."
"I know, it was wrong of me to leave without saying goodbye recently, I've been trying to completely forget you, after all, after all, you already got... ah..."
"During this time, I've seen many landscapes, met many people."
"But among all the charms of the world, none is as stunning as yours, perhaps I will just waste my life away."
"Yes, I'm at home."
"He... he's not here... good."
"I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Sanshui sighed again, vigorously rubbing his hair into a messy state, making himself look disheveled and utterly dejected.
He opened a cupboard and took out a bottle of baijiu1.
He sipped it gently.
Then, he sprinkled a bit on his clothes, dousing himself with the smell of alcohol before returning to the sofa to sit down.
He fell into a stupor.
...
"In the years I've been at Mo Pavilion, I've gathered some intelligence," Pavilion Master Lin boasted to Zhao Qingyi with a hint of pride. "I know about some Cult hideouts."
"Regardless of their strength, these Cult members inherently carry a slyness," he continued, his expression serious. "You might want to get used to the pace first."
"Not far ahead is a factory housing five Cult members."
"Go and eliminate them without using your special ability if possible."
"You might even get a reward from Mo Pavilion for this."
"I must say, that young man named Yu Sheng has indeed opened up a new perspective for me."
With anticipation, Pavilion Master Lin took out his phone and opened a video.
Then...
Looking at the destroyed gate and the somewhat dried bloodstains on the ground, all amidst the chaotic wind.
It was as if... the silver in hand... had flown away.
"Who did this!"
"Dammit, who did this!"
He cursed fiercely, then turned and walked away.
Zhao Qingyi, who had been silently following behind him, wore a look of confusion mixed with slight bewilderment. "Why aren't we driving?"

"Of course, it’s because we’re poor... I mean, it's to train you!"
"I’m also a graduate of Spirit Mind Academy, so I'm technically your senior."
"With my years of experience, I'm telling you not to completely ignore the importance of physical strength."
"When you run out of energy, having a strong body becomes crucial."
"Including your own awakened special ability, some can perform exceptionally well when combined with physical strength."
"Of course, when I say this, I'm not endorsing the methods of Spirit Martial Academy; they're just a bunch of brainless brutes, idiots!"
"Remember this well!"
Pavilion Master Lin spoke earnestly, his tone sincere, carrying the expectation a senior might have for a junior.
Zhao Qingyi nodded, appearing to somewhat understand.
Her stunning beauty added a unique charm to the scene.
"Cough, it might be that this particular hideout was just exposed."
"No worries, let's continue."
"After taking down two hideouts, we should be able to afford... and then we can wrap up the physical training program."
"Then, we can drive."
Pavilion Master Lin's eyes shimmered with a hint of longing.
Back when he was the Vice Pavilion Master, he had deliberately left behind a fishing pond, hoping to catch more Cult members.
Now that he had left his position, it was time to reap a substantial reward.
And possibly swindle a free enforcer in the process, what a steal.
And so...
As they continued, Pavilion Master Lin's expression grew darker, even beginning to question his life choices.
Why had every hideout listed in his information... been completely taken down?
Not one was spared!
Was someone really that ruthlessly thorough?
Outrageous!
For a moment, Pavilion Master Lin even wondered if his intelligence had been leaked.
"Pavilion Master Lin, didn't you say..."
"After passing through two cities, we could drive?"
Zhao Qingyi asked curiously, looking at him.
Pavilion Master Lin remained silent.
"Not enough!"
"I didn't expect your physical condition to be this weak."
"Talk to me when you have a six-pack!"
Pavilion Master Lin, with a stern face, kept moving forward.
His heart filled with regret.
Why did he have to boast about taking Zhao Qingyi on this training journey?
Now, not only had he not made any money, but he had also ended up looking foolish!
Thinking about his long journey to Border City, Pavilion Master Lin was a mess in the wind.
Of course, he had also learned two names.
"Yu Sheng!"
"Zhao Zicheng!"
These two rascals had become quite famous recently in various cities.
Everyone knew of these two formidable figures.
Starting from Mobei, they had made their way through, leveling numerous Cult hideouts and collecting bounties until their hands were full.
Especially after discovering that killing Cult members could indeed earn a bounty at Mo Pavilion, all the paupers suddenly sprang into action, motivated by the news.
Cult members quickly became the tantalizing prey in everyone's eyes.
In the absence of demon beasts, the Cult... turned into gold!
Consequently, teams akin to wilderness exploration streamers emerged, equipped with professional cameras, scouring the land for traces of the Cult.
Suddenly, every Cult member felt endangered.
Their wariness stemmed not only from external threats but also from within their own ranks.
After all, what if a couple of ruthless individuals, driven mad by poverty, decided to take out their own for the bounty?
