Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Heavy-Duty Truck
Everything in Ancient Moon City was well arranged.
This place could also be considered one of his strongholds. Ancient Moon City was under the jurisdiction of Zhenyuan Country, and if he were to enter Zhenyuan Country later, he could look for connections here.
As for the major families, Li Xiaobai was not worried. The disciples from the families had all gone to the Holy Demon Sect with him, which in other words, meant that these people were his hostages. If the family heads dared to target Tangneng First-class, he would just tie up these family disciples.
He believed that Zuo Da and the others would settle it.
He checked the system panel.
[Host: Li Xiaobai.]
[...]
[Defensive Power: Indestructible Golden Body Sixth Turn (48000/60000) can be advanced.]
[Attribute Points: 0.]
[Skills: Muscle Flaccidity, Hatred Hundred Percent, Super Abdominal Muscles, Drunken Immortal, Blood Demon Transcendental Venerable...]
[Mall: Opened.]
[Status: Blood Demon Corrosion (Moderate).]
He would find an opportunity to increase his Attribute Points on the road, striving to completely restore his body to normal before arriving at the Holy Demon Sect.
Speaking of which, he and his Sixth Senior Brother had also snatched away the legacy of a True Disciple of the Holy Demon Sect, but the True Disciple's Space Ring was in his Sixth Senior Brother's hands, and since he was wearing a Human Skin Mask, it probably wouldn't be traced back to him.
With three unlucky ones like Zuo Da around, the evil cultivators outside the city didn't pose much of a threat.
This journey seemed like it would go very smoothly.
"Old man, do you know about Elder Tianwu?" Li Xiaobai asked curiously as he approached the old beggar.
"Of course, I do. Elder Tianwu is indeed a rare genius who appears only once in a hundred years, an existence unbeatable throughout the world," the old beggar said.
"Is this person still alive today?"
"Who knows? Such a great master who stands above the rest cannot be speculated by you or me."
"Woof! Lord Ergouzi is also a matchless master of all times. Wherever Elder Tianwu is, Ergouzi wants to have a battle with him!"
Ergouzi lacked tact, interrupting like that, and made it impossible to continue the conversation. Li Xiaobai felt that the old beggar was certainly extraordinary and perhaps Li Ya's speculation was right, that he really had stumbled upon a treasure.
...
The next morning.
After soaking in the bath all night, his Attribute Points had increased by another two thousand.
He was only ten thousand Attribute Points away from enhancing his defensive power.
After bidding farewell to the Situ grandfather and grandson and the old beggar, Li Xiaobai headed straight for the city gates with Ergouzi.
Early in the morning, a large number of cultivators had already gathered there. Besides the thirty-some disciples heading to the Holy Demon Sect, the rest came to see them off and enjoy the spectacle, including several family heads.
Li Xiaobai didn't know what Zuo Da and the others said last night, but now looking at him, their expressions seemed somewhat unpleasant, as if they didn't even want to greet him.
"Young Master Xia, the road is treacherous. How about we travel together?" Wang Ruoxian asked with a light laugh, floating in the air on her Compass, which was her Magic Treasure.
"For an Immortal to invite, Xia would be ungrateful to refuse. Big brother, third brother, come on up. Let's travel together," Xia Jian laughed heartily, tossing out a painting scroll that expanded rapidly in the wind. The three of them climbed on it and turned into a streak of light, following Wang Ruoxian as they departed.
The rest of the cultivators looked enviously at the two ascending into the sky, thinking how great it was to be disciples of a major sect, casually using Magic Treasures capable of flying and escaping through the earth, unlike them who had to travel solely relying on their cultivation level.
"Kid, don't you have a mount or something? Walking like this is rather embarrassing," Ergouzi glanced at Li Xiaobai and asked.
Li Xiaobai thought for a moment and felt it was time to use a heavy-duty truck. He hadn't used the reward even once yet. Driving a large truck in another world had a unique flavor.
As he flipped his wrist, a behemoth truck with an iron-blood aura appeared in front of everyone.
The truck was at least three meters wide, over ten meters long, and three meters tall—a true heavy-duty truck, wrapped in iron skin and fortified with steel plates and guardrails, appearing as impregnable as a fortress.
Just from its design alone, it exuded immense dominance.
The only drawback was that this thing consumed a massive amount of Spirit Stones.
Heavy-Duty Truck: Capable of transporting thirty tons of cargo, clad in copper and iron, exceptionally sturdy, consuming one medium-grade Spirit Stone per kilometer.
Note: Even experienced drivers take risks on the road—drive civilly, eliminate road killers, and start with me.
The surrounding cultivators were all dumbfounded; they had never seen a vehicle with such design in their lives. It was excessively domineering, and even from afar, they could feel the murderous aura it radiated.
If one were to be collided with by this behemoth, being reduced to dust would be a light consequence—it was terrifying.
"Woof, kid, you're actually hiding such quality goods!"
"Boss Ye, this is..."
The Li Family Patriarch couldn't help but ask.
"This is Liangchen's exclusive ride, a heavy-duty truck; your clan members and disciples can also come aboard and ride together."
"They can all come up?"
"Of course, but I hope the Patriarch hasn't forgotten what Zuo Da and the others said last night."
"Of course not, the care of my son will be a burden on Boss Ye."
The Li Family Patriarch was more than willing, he was desperate for Li Ya to find a strong backer, which he had heard all about from last night's gathering.
He immediately pledged loyalty, "This Tangneng First-class belongs to Boss Ye, and no one else can take it away. Henceforth, I will fully cooperate with Miss Yan Yu in managing the shop."
"I will do the same..."
"Likewise for me..."
"I will have to trouble Boss Ye to take care of my daughter..."
"Have you not hurried over yet to meet Boss Ye? Be obedient on the road, do not misbehave, do not cause trouble, understand?"
"The disciples understand!"
The cultivators were extremely excited; they were incredibly envious of Xia Jian and Wang Ruoxian's mounts. These Magic Treasures were the prized possessions of cultivators, and they couldn't believe that Boss Ye was willing to take them with him.
Moreover, Boss Ye's ride was much more domineering than the previous two individuals' mounts.
What flying swords, what magic treasures, compared to this big truck, they all seemed weak.
Indeed, a heavy-duty truck is the true romance of a man.
"Come aboard."
The cargo area at the back of the truck was more than enough to accommodate these thirty disciples, and it was even open-air so they could enjoy the scenery along the way.
"Hehe, thank you, Boss Ye!"
The cultivators climbed onto the truck one after another, sitting on both sides, and three Evil Cultivators went up as well. They had never seen a vehicle of such design and were very curious.
"Woof! Boy, that seat is reserved for Lord Ergouzi!"
Ergouzi swiftly scrambled through the window into the passenger seat; it had taken a shine to that spot.
The seat was made of fur, very soft and extremely comfortable.
Li Xiaobai pulled the car door shut, took the driver's seat, inserted several medium-grade Spirit Stones, started the ignition, stepped on the throttle, and as the ground trembled, the truck roared and sped off.
The highs of various families were even more astonished; such a mount, such a presence, were more terrifying than a Demonic Beast.
"Who exactly is Boss Ye, to possess such a treasure?"
"This time, it's our disciples' good fortune to catch a ride with him!"
"That's right, their safety is guaranteed following Boss Ye. With the Holy Demon Sect, they probably won't be bullied."
"It's just a shame about Tangneng First-class. Our disciples are all in Boss Ye's hands, I'm afraid he's leaving at ease because of this reason... "
