Only My Way

More than ten minutes later.

Looking at the earthen pit he had refilled and the metal door within, Ling Wuyuan, panting, also put the wooden planks he had removed back into place.

Next, he just needed to sweep the dust in the room and clean up all traces, and then things would be considered a smooth end.

At this moment, through the sparse moonlight projected in from the window, he looked at the furniture in the house and began to think about whether he should move or sell these items to earn some living expenses for himself.

After all, all his money had been given to Pei Yiman…

Although she had said that there were some living supplies stored at the other end of the tunnel, who knew what they were?

Thinking that she had seamlessly switched from a carefree life to a battle royale channel, without even a bit of adaptation, Ling Wuyuan decisively chose to give all his money to her in order to increase her chances of survival.

As for himself?

Since he could survive even when he could be easily killed by adults in the past.

Then now that he had undergone a significant version upgrade and could easily kill adults, there was naturally no problem.

Perhaps, this was the confidence of a survival expert…

As a guy who had long been beaten into a survival expert by life.

Even though he was penniless now.

He still had enough confidence to have food and drink in the Black Market City.

Things that he couldn't get his hands on in the past due to insufficient ability.

He could now think of ways to obtain them.

After a brief thought.

Ling Wuyuan decided to take some things he could use from the house.

Like a quilt or something.

As for living here directly?

He'd better forget about it.

If Pei's family's enemies came and found him, it would be really hard to deal with…

Even sleeping here for one night was very risky.

So, he'd better run away as soon as possible.

Pack up his belongings and run away.

This was his complete battle plan!

For a time.

He also decided to make a strategic relocation of his current base, that is, to move away from the broken temple and find a new lair.

Because the corpse in the dry well would gradually rot and stink in a few days.

At that time, it might cause other problems.

So, it was very necessary to transfer the position in advance.

Besides this.

He thought of the strange expression on Pei Yiman's face when she climbed out of the dry well, and it was not difficult to discern that she should have noticed the bloody smell inside the dry well.

Although Ling Wuyuan deliberately placed a lot of withered grass, branches, and tattered quilts on the beggar's corpse… pressing the corpse firmly at the bottom, the strong bloody smell emanating from it was not so easy to completely cover up after all.

After a little thought.

Ling Wuyuan decided to throw a fire into the dry well when he evacuated the broken temple.

Just treat it as using fire to send off the beggar…

The next day.

Early in the morning.

Ling Wuyuan stood on the edge of the crowd, silently looking into the distance.

In the place where the birthday banquet was held yesterday.

Although the overall environment had been cleaned up, there were still a lot of bloodstains left in the corners.

This made the environment permeated with a distinct bloody smell.

At this moment.

Looking around, the performance stage built by the Pei family before and the Pei family mansion directly behind the performance stage had all become ruins.

Vaguely.

There were still sporadic sparks and smoke slowly rising.

Even most of the surrounding residential buildings had been reduced to ruins.

Perhaps even the innocent residents inside had completely died.

However.

At this moment, the most attractive thing to Ling Wuyuan was the huge gullies and deep pits of various sizes on the field.

Like those gullies.

Looking at them.

He understood that even the short types of those gullies were estimated to be tens of meters long, while the longer ones were at least hundreds of meters long, and the depth ranged from tens of centimeters to several meters. Their existence was like an irregular spider web, cutting the entire area into extremely irregular [blocks].

As for those deep pits, they reminded Ling Wuyuan of the heavy mortars he had seen in various military videos in his previous life.

Even thickened floors made of hard stone, whose hardness was not inferior to that of metal, were easily penetrated by them, leaving deep pits with diameters ranging from several meters to tens of meters on the ground.

The largest deep pit that Ling Wuyuan could see directly encompassed several residential buildings that Ling Wuyuan had seen yesterday, completely obliterating them on the spot, without even leaving the foundation…

Looking at all of this in front of him.

Although Ling Wuyuan didn't know if there were any more tragic battle traces in the nearby area, such as deep in the Pei family mansion, he deeply understood that the extraordinary power in this world was definitely not something that could be easily resisted by numbers.

According to the destructive power he had witnessed, those guys who could create a big pit with one move could completely treat ordinary people as leeks to be harvested at will. If there were no other strong people to stop them, those guys could easily kill thousands of people…

Even if they were thrown into the modern environment of Ling Wuyuan's previous life.

I'm afraid it would take things like cloud-explosive bombs, the mother of all bombs, and nuclear bombs to take them down.

And in the face of these forces that can slaughter thousands of troops.

The power he currently possesses is really not even a water gun…

For a time.

He was even more eager for extraordinary power.

Moreover, he liked this world even more.

He understood that the more powerful the extraordinary power system in this world was, the more likely he would be to obtain what he hoped for after becoming a cultivator…

That endless power and eternal life…

Therefore, in addition to lamenting the decline of the Pei family, there was only joy in his heart…

In the end, his gaze came to the family flags that had just been raised on three sides.

Those were three flags with different patterns and different characters.

Ling Wuyuan understood that those were the forces that had destroyed the Pei family.

Perhaps they would also be the guys he would need to deal with for Pei Yiman in the future.

It wasn't that he felt that Pei Yiman wouldn't be able to handle the problems herself in the future, but that he felt that perhaps he would level up faster than her, who knew?

Besides this.

He also had some thoughts in his mind.

'Perhaps, when the power I possess can handle these guys alone, it will be when I can truly gain a foothold in this world, no longer just a humble ant that can only drift with the tide…'

'They are my whetstones and the experience of a certain stage in my life…'

'I will use the wailing and death of their entire clan to prove myself…'

Thinking of this.

The anticipation and joy in Ling Wuyuan's heart made the corners of his mouth involuntarily reveal a kind of heartfelt smile.

That was a boiling but dormant murderous intent and unparalleled joy…
