Li Yang passed his days comfortably, extremely comfortably. There werenât any situations that needed his attention, and he spent his entire day cultivating the âDemonic Yang Lawâ. The only thing Overlord Xiang Yu did was help increase Li Yangâs absorption of the heaven and earth spiritual essence.
Li Yang was currently under house arrest in one of Heavenly Netâs secluded rooms.
âXue, wait for me, I will work hard and train.â Li Yang was currently sitting cross-legged on the floor while absorbing the worldâs spiritual essence. His internal energy methodically operated within him as it increased, becoming more and more pure and profound. The corners of Li Yangâs lips revealed a faint smiling expression, and after knowing that he could still be together with Jiang Xue, Li Yang was no longer interested in the matters of the material world.
âLi Yang, you canât be too impetuous as this route of cultivation opposes the heavens. Even with the help of the Overlord, without half a year, it is impossible to forcefully cross through and succeed in breaking through the void and fly into the Devil Realm!â Xiang Yu reminded, as he was a bit worried that Li Yang might be rushing his training and not establishing a good foundation. When the time to cross over came, it would not be good if his soul was split apart and scattered by the heavens.
Li Yang replied within his mind, âDonât worry, I wonât play around with my little life. Moreover, Iâm not in a rush right now, because there is still a matter that I need to take care of.â
To let Lin Tianyu taste âa little bitâ of pain, this was what Li Yang still had to do.
âTo force Xue to die, Heng, Lin Tianyu, I will let you learn what is to live but want to die!â The hatred Li Yang had within his heart for Lin Tianyu did not diminish at all.
After Jiang Xue was killed, although there was a chance for Li Yang to once again meet up with Jiang Xue, they would still be apart for more than several hundred years. In addition, cultivating in the Devilâs way was not guaranteed to be safe, and who could be sure that something unexpected wouldnât happen during the process? All of these needed to be calculated in order to take Li Tianyuâs head.
Li Yang changed, his temperament changed! Perhaps it could be said that he transformed.
In the past, Li Yang would do everything for the sake of his country and follow all of the rules set by it. The current Li Yang after being influenced by the demonic nature only did things that benefited himself. Towards those that showed him kindness, he was thankful, and towards those that treated him with enmity, he took revenge.
No matter what, however, his personal strength was still of great importance. Because of this, Li Yang had his eyes close, and was earnestly cultivatingâŠ

Pudong International Airport.
Li Shuo had just gotten off the airplane.
âMister Li, please enter the car.â A man wearing a well-ironed suit came out from a limousine and walked to Li Shuoâs side before speaking in a respectful manner.
Li Shuo nodded his head and followed the man into the limousine.
Within the limousine.
Du duâ Hearing his cellphone ringing, Li Shuoâs brows slightly furrowed. âI already called more than ten times, why hasnât big brother answered yet?â
Li Shuo immediately told the man next to him, âGo directly to where Senior Ceng is.â Ceng Honggang was a major disciple of the Hong Mercenariesâ Grand Chief. He was in charge of all of the Hong Mercenaries within Shanghai.

AÂ villa within the Shanghai suburbs.
âJunior came to me as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, I wonder if itâs for the sake of that older brother of yours?â Ceng Honggang was casually lying down on the couch while looking at Li Shuo with a slight smile on his face.
Li Shuo nodded his head. âRight, Senior, did something happen to my big brother?â
Ceng Honggang slightly laughed and said, âSomething happen? Itâs not something as simple as that, your brother is quite daring, he actually dared to try and assassinate the Holy Forest Groupâs heir Lin Tianyu.â
When Li Shuo heard this, his eyes immediately widened. âHoly Forest Group? The United Kingdomâs Holy Forest Group?â
Ceng Honggang joked, âOh? Are you saying that this is something that I made up? That I am making such a big fuss out of nothing?â
Li Shuo took in a deep breath and calmed himself down before asking, âSenior, how is my older brother nowadays?â After finding out that something happened to his older brother, it was difficult for Li Shuo to keep his past cool-headedness.
Ceng Honggang indifferently said, âIs there even a need to say it out loud? Of course he was brought back by the Security Bureau. However, your brother is quite formidable, and actually managed to kill three Black Devil Group bodyguards. Those were all Fourth-ranked experts! However, that Lin Tianyu definitely wouldnât let the matter rest, thereforeâŠâ
âI understand, Senior, then Iâm going to leave first!â After Li Shuo found out what he wanted to know, he immediately left.
Ceng Honggang looked at Li Shuoâs disappearing figure with a sliver of a slight cold laugh, âXiao Li Flying Dagger? Li Shuo, although I have never seen you use the Flying Dagger, Iâm guessing that you probably know it as well. If it is true, then how I deal with you will have to change as well.â

A room within a restaurant.
âGeneral Wang, itâs already quite obvious what happened. Your men actually wanted to assassinate me, and three of my bodyguards even died. As for âa murderer deserves to pay with his lifeâ, the decision on Li Yangâs punishment shouldnât take so long right?â Lin Tianyu was sitting on a recliner while comfortably smoking a cigar and looking at Meng Tian.
Meng Tian immediately stood up and said, âGeneral Wang, the Lin heir used his own influence to harass Jiang Xue to death. The reason Li Yang did such things was because the woman he loved died. Ultimately, the situation should still a problem that resulted from the Lin heirâs actions. Li Yangâs actions are pardonable. I hope the general can be lenient.â
General Wang was the highest ranked commander stationed within Shanghai.
âMeng Tian, please sit for now. I have already sent a report concerning todayâs matters to the Security Bureau 11th Division, so I believe that there will be a decision soon. Although you guys came to me to settle this dispute, itâs still better that your Security Bureau people decide. After all, Li Yang has still successfully completed an A-rank mission!â While General Wang did say things this way, it was obvious that he wanted to help Li Yang stall a bit.
Lin Tianyu faintly laughed dully, and soon after stood up. He gently threw away the cigar in his hand, and looked down towards General Wang. âGeneral Wang, first of all I have to declare that Jiang Xue was not harassed to death by me, but rather suicided. If you guys want to continue to claim that I forced her to death, the we can go to court. Also, not to mention âa murderer has to pay with his own lifeâ, your men killed three people. If the generalâs decision does not satisfy me, I donât mind settling that in court either.â
âRight, as Lin Tianyu, I still have some international power. Right now, there arenât many individuals who were able to live after killing my people!â Lin Tianyu had a evil smile on the corners of his mouth as he walked out with Ding Yuyang, Fei Li and Ai Er who were previously standing behind him.
General Wang looked at Lin Tianyuâs disappearing figure and helplessly said to Meng Tian, âMeng Tian ah, although our relationship isnât bad, it seems like the current situation is really rather unfavorableâŠâ
Meng Tianâs face also had a bitter expression, and said with a sigh, âLi Yang, it seems like this Division Captain really canât help you anymore. Everything will depend on the decision of the general headquarters.â
