In the sky city at night, the moon hangs above the cold and dense buildings like a steel forest, leaving a huge shadow on the other side.
Shrouded in shadow, Changning Street in the East District of the capital still has street lights, but no pedestrians.
The entire street has been forcibly cleared.
There is only one practitioner who is hiding in street corners, alleys, behind walls, and on the roofs of stairways.
They were dressed in combat uniforms, moved quickly and uniformly, and looked well-trained.
A sense of decisive killing vaguely floated from their bodies, and they looked like battle-hardened warriors.
At this time, this thought was suppressed by a man in military uniform with a vertical collar at the only table of guests in the restaurant on the side. It was hidden in the night, submerged in the darkness, and was not visible at all.
There were two other people sitting with him, a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of the Bureau of Investigation. Judging from the stripes on his epaulettes, he was within the expected distance from the top of the pyramid of the Bureau of Biological Investigation.
The other is a young man in a purple robe. Among the three, he is the youngest, but his fierce temperament is superior to the other two.
Under the moonlight, he raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at the middle-aged man: "Old Wang, are you sure Zhou Yue has been here?"
The middle-aged man looked calm: "I watched the surveillance video repeatedly and compiled all the intelligence analysis about him. Yes, he did come to this Yizhu restaurant alone, and he never came out after entering."
The man in military uniform said calmly: "I have to say that if he is really a member of the Immortal Organization, the suspected 'Immortal No. 2' has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Xiaoyu, is he really capable of 'Wu Nian Jue Jie'?"
Li Yu nodded slightly, with a complicated expression: "I have competed with the descendant of Wu Nian Jue Formation, the descendant of the great master. It is Wu Nian Jue Formation, but... it seems to be more complicated than the orthodox 'Wu Nian Jue Formation'
Some. Brother Hong, if he is really still in Yizhu Restaurant, to be honest, these elites you brought are really not enough."
The man in military uniform was silent for a moment and said, "What if I take action myself."
Li Yu raised his eyebrows: "Lao Hong, you are a majestic seventh-level grandmaster..."
The man in military uniform suddenly smiled and said: "I just brought him back to the military headquarters to help investigate the 'Silver-Haired Girl' incident. Don't worry, I will act with discretion."
At this moment, the eyes of the three people changed.
A strange thought spread out with Yizhu Xiaoguan as the center.
Just like the mountains and rivers were shattered and the earth was flat.
The surrounding scenery was swaying, and even the man in military uniform at the seventh level could no longer maintain the seal of suppressing his thoughts. He flicked his finger and then flicked it away.
The next second, a figure appeared on the long street outside Yizhu Restaurant.
Seeing that man, the three people upstairs all had frozen expressions.
"Is he the newcomer Wang Zhouyue?" the man in military uniform asked.
Li Yu nodded.
The gaze of the man in military uniform enveloped the young man who suddenly appeared on the street: "It's interesting. Whether it's Immortal No. 2 or not, it's not simple."
He was just considering whether to give orders to his subordinates or take action himself when he saw the young man with his back to them making a chant and then disappearing.
"snort."
The man in military uniform had no worries anymore and directly released the Grandmaster's Domain, covering the entire long street in an instant.
But then, he was stunned for a moment, and a gloom gradually appeared on his face.
Li Yu looked into the distance and coughed lightly as if by accident: "To be able to swagger away under the eyes of Hong Jun, who ranks among the top ten in the capital's military department, is more than simple."
Hong Jun glanced at Li Yu, but he was not angry, but his eyes became unpredictable.
At this time, the middle-aged man who had never spoken at the side opened his eyes: "Master Li and General Hong didn't feel anything. The vision accompanying his appearance was a bit unusual?"
Just as Hong Jun was about to say something, the panel in his arms suddenly sounded a beep.
He stood up and walked to the other side, opened the panel, and looked at the information on the panel with increasingly complicated eyes.
"What's wrong?" Li Yu asked.
Hong Jun turned around, but did not look at Li Yu. His eyes fell on Yizhu Xiaoguan again.
"Just now, the Miracle Creatures clan suddenly sent a stripe message with the highest level of warning sign, which is currently being decoded... This time, the stripe mentioned the Immortal Organization."
…
Outside the long street, far away from the hustle and bustle of the alley, Zhou Yue walked out of the shadows.
In the restaurant not far away, Li Yu with sharp eyes, the man in military uniform with a deep expression, the middle-aged man sitting beside him, and the group of murderous soldiers who were ambushing all around were all caught in his eyes.
"The elite of the military?"
"But why are you blocking me here? Is it because of the Immortal Organization?"
"This is the center of spiritual cultivation, politics, economy, and science and technology of the Federation. Crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and countless powerful people. I think it has attracted my attention and even suspicion since the merchant incident."
"No wonder Xiaobai sent Tang Yanran to pick me up in a grand manner. She must also know very well that my so-called 'Immortal No. 2' identity will soon no longer be a secret among the top federal officials."
Zhou Yue analyzed secretly.
He didn't have much worries about this, and was even mentally prepared for it.
I had hidden my identity before because my strength was relatively weak.
But as his strength rapidly improves, the exposure of his other identity will not only no longer be a danger, but will instead become a bargaining chip that makes others envious.
This is "potential".
What's more, only the top management will know about the so-called "Immortal No. 2".
If you want this kind of bargaining chip to continue to increase, so much that no party in the federation dares to act rashly, you must continue to grow your "power".
And Shang Ying, the half-step master, is undoubtedly an indispensable link in becoming a "power".
"A half-step great master was seriously injured and kidnapped? No wonder we can't find her."
"Come on, go save her."
Zhou Yue smiled complicatedly, released the hover speed car from the travel ball, got on the car, and sped away south.
…
When Zhou Yue arrived at Huangcheng, it was already the afternoon of the second day.
This is the third Sky City located on the south side of the outer orbit of the capital.
It's called a border town, but in fact, it's a city that never sleeps and has been corrupted by sensuality and drunkenness.
This reminded Zhou Yue of Beidao District.
But Beidao District is just an outer rail urban area next to Canghai Academy. In terms of scale and prosperity, it is less than one percent of the border town.
Zhou Yue found a restaurant and had a casual lunch, and by the way, he found out about the place described by Little Iron Duke.
Although Xiao Tie Duke knew where Shang Ying was hiding.
But it didn't know the specific name of this place. Fortunately, it described it in detail, and the characteristics of that place were very obvious.
…
An hour later, Zhou Yue arrived in Huaqing District.
This is one of the most chaotic areas in Huangcheng, with numerous gangs, chambers of commerce, and various forces.
Exactly what the waiter in the restaurant described, here you can not only see many cultivators from the American Federation, European Federation, and Lost Africa with strange accents, but also free city nobles wearing gold and silver followed by a group of beautiful maids, and even
There are also "alien people" wrapped in cloaks and robes.
Zhou Yue found the place described by Little Iron Duke without much difficulty - the Mermaid Club with a tall bronze shark statue and fountain pool at the door.
In the entire Huaqing District, this entertainment club is one of the largest in scale.
Although it was only the afternoon, the casino hall on the first floor was packed with people and the scene was lively.
The private room upstairs is a lively place.
It was not yet evening, and the patron had not yet arrived, so of course the business had not started yet.
Zhou Yue opened his eyes, with absurdity and a hint of anger in his eyes.
He "saw" Shang Ying on the luxurious bed in one of the private rooms.
…
More than three hours later, the entire casino hall fell into dead silence.
At the largest gambling table in the center, the young man has won more than thirty games in a row.
Behind him were piles of chips as high as a hill.
Everyone can see that the young man came specifically to provoke me.
As early as more than an hour ago, the security personnel of the club had been dispatched. However, the young man was not only a mind cultivator, but also a profound cultivator. More than thirty security personnel from the first and second realms were arrested before they could get close.
A powerful invisible force blocked him, and he could only watch helplessly as the young man killed everyone in the casino.
At this moment, the onlookers dispersed into a lane.
A woman with still charming charm and flaming red lips walked over, followed by several security personnel.
Her eyes wandered over the chips behind the young man for a moment, and then she said calmly: "It's too boring for you to continue playing like this alone. Why don't you come to the box and I'll come and play with you myself. By the way, I'm Starscream.
.”
As she spoke, a stream of fifth-level thoughts surged out of her body.
"That's fine."
Zhou Yue turned around and smiled.
I had just defeated the giant spider monster in the spirit world, and then I met the "red spider" in the human world. I have really become attached to spiders in the past two days.
…
An hour later.
Zhou Yue sat at a square table with a calm expression.
On the left is the woman with flaming red lips. She is the boss here, nicknamed Starscream. Her fifth-level cultivation is considered a master anywhere in the Federation.
On the right is a man with a horse face, leather shoes and a cloth shirt, holding a pipe of hookah in his hand and puffing away smoke. He is the person in charge of the casino hall, nicknamed the Smoker, and has reached the fourth level of cultivation.
Opposite him sat an old man, whose left arm was broken and equipped with a copper hook. Everyone called him "Master Gou", and he was at the peak of the Fourth Transformation Realm.
The rules of the game in this time and space are very similar to those of Landlord in the previous life, but more like Beast Fighting Chess, but the difficulty is hundreds of times that of the previous life.
Each person draws 3,000 cards.
There are no numerical suits on the cards, but miraculous creatures of different racial attributes and levels.
There are also combinations such as pairs, straights, three-with-ones, flushes, and bombs.
Whoever finishes the fight first wins.
Masters of mindfulness practice can "see" the cards clearly by just relying on their senses when playing cards.
But the material of these 12,000 cards is very special, using materials with properties that shield telekinesis.
At this point, the round of cards has come to an end.
It was Zhou Yue's turn to play his cards.
The other three people stared closely at Zhou Yue.
Starscream kept swinging his fan, Smoker's forehead was beaded with sweat, and Lord Gou looked very ugly.
The only chips left in front of the three of them were the last one.
On the other hand, in front of Zhou Yue, there were mountains of chips, all of which were lost to him by the three of them in the past hour.
"Master Yue, what are you still hesitating about?" Starscream said softly.
Mr. Gou also snorted coldly: "Master Yue, please stop dragging your feet and hurry up."
Zhou Yue remained calm and just looked at the few cards in his hand.
At his feet, Huang Huihong, who had started sneaking into the human world, cocked his head and took the cards of Starscream, Smoker and Lord Gou into his eyes.
Everything it saw was naturally transmitted into Zhou Yue's field of vision.
Zhou Yue's eyes flashed as he began the final round of playing cards.
The result is naturally the same as the previous rounds.
Won the last lap without any suspense.
"Sorry, it seems I'm lucky today."
Zhou Yue accepted the chips with a smile.
The chips on hand, taken together, amount to several million tribute coins.
Starscream's face was already a bit gloomy.
Mr. Gou had no expression on his face.
The smoker finally couldn't help it and stood up: "What the hell! I have been playing cards for so many years and I have never seen such good luck as you! You must have cheated!"
Zhou Yue smiled and said: "Since you can't afford to lose, it's okay not to play."
Starscream's eyes flashed with light, and he said faintly: "Young master, no matter where you come from, you won't be able to make friends in the deserted city with your methods and appetite."
Mr. Gou raised his eyebrows and tapped the copper hook tip lightly on the table: "If you don't speak clearly today, don't even think about leaving."
Zhou Yue stretched out and stood up slowly: "If I want to leave, you really can't stop me."
Starscream frowned slightly.
She can run the Mermaid Club so prosperously and become one of the top powers in Huaqing District, so her eyesight is naturally extraordinary.
The young man opposite gave her an indescribable and strange feeling.
He has a handsome appearance, ordinary clothes, and a cultivation level of about three or four realms. Considering that he looks to be no more than twenty years old, he is definitely a first-class genius. This is one of the reasons why he tolerates it again and again.
Another reason is that the calm temperament he exudes is definitely not fake. Even Starscream is rare in his life.
"Really? Then I'd like to try it."
The smoker sneered, and the copper pipe of the hookah slipped from his hand and hit the square table.
In an instant, a crack appeared from the square table, spread out quickly, and with a boom, the square table exploded into hundreds of wood chips, exploding with a speed comparable to that of a bullet, spinning and flying towards Zhou Yue.
Starscream wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
The next second, Starscream and the other three were startled.
The hundreds of pieces of sawdust seemed to be grabbed by hundreds of hands of mind power, and they stopped strangely in mid-air.
Then, hundreds of sawdust spun around, like an overwhelming migratory locust, flying towards the smoker.
The smoker's expression in the Fourth Transformation Realm changed drastically. He didn't even have time to open the mental defense shield before he was blown away by sawdust.
"It's the reading area..."
Starscream murmured in a low voice, lowered his head, and looked slightly horrified.
I, who is in the fifth realm, have just started to think about the Nian District recently, but the young man opposite me, who is at least ten years younger than me, has already mastered it?
The box door opened from the outside, and dozens of security personnel filed in, watching Zhou Yue nervously.
Zhou Yue grabbed a chip, rubbed it twice, and then threw it on the ground.
"If you don't come out yet, are you really going to wait for me to destroy this place?"
After about four or five seconds, a soft sigh sounded in the air.
Immediately afterwards, light and shadow flashed, and a silver-haired girl with a complicated face appeared in the box.
"How did you..."
Starscream was stunned and quickly drove the security personnel out of the box.
After closing the door, she turned around and exchanged glances with Mr. Gou and the smoker who got up.
Then, the three of them turned towards Shang Ying and knelt down on one knee.
