Started from listening to music in the brothel and earned billions of bad people

"Well, I can feel some." Yunxuzi spoke first.

Li Xingyun did not respond, he knew Yun Xuzi had not finished speaking.

Yunxuzi pondered for a moment and explained, "The realm above the terrestrial immortals is like a door. I can find the door, but I don't have the key, so I can't enter and am stuck at the entrance. There are only two ways to get in: find the key, or force the door open! I'm not strong enough right now to forcibly break through the bottleneck door."

Li Xingyun nodded, as long as there was hope, then looked at the others.

"My situation is similar to Yunxuzi's." Li Cunli replied.

Liu Ruyan: "Me too."

"I...I couldn't find the door. I have so much strength but nowhere to release it!" Li Cunxiao answered awkwardly, touching his head.

Li Xingyun nodded. Li Cunxiao's situation should be different from Liu Ruyan and the others. As to why, it is unknown now.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen. She was the only one who remained silent, a ninth-grade land immortal. Jiang Chen smiled smugly. "I can find the door and the keyhole. I'm trying to make a key now."

"Well, keep trying!" Li Xingyun had not reached that level either, so he could only let them explore on their own. Perhaps Laziness made the right move. Jiang Chen and the others had accumulated enough to make a breakthrough, and what they lacked was a method. Coincidentally, the Dusk Society had a method to make a breakthrough!

Li Xingyun had many guesses about the Dusk Society. One possibility was that the world they lived in was just a sheepfold built by higher-level beings, and the Dusk Society was the sheepdog raised by those higher beings.

Possibility two: someone is hunting high-level practitioners, resulting in the existence of no practitioners above the land immortals.

The third possibility is that the cultivation system of this world is still in its ignorant state and has not yet reached a higher level.

Li Xingyun currently thinks of these three possibilities. The best outcome is possibility three, and the worst outcome is possibility one. However, these are all guesses. Perhaps the result will be even worse, or perhaps he has imagined too much, and the reality may be very simple. In any case, these things will not affect his future development.

No matter what the future holds, it’s always a good idea to improve your strength!

As the convoy advanced, drawing ever closer to southern Xinjiang, the surrounding landscape underwent a noticeable shift. The once flat, open road gradually gave way to rolling mountain ranges, making the terrain increasingly rugged and difficult to navigate. The area was sparsely populated, desolate and silent, as if cut off from the world.

Li Xingyun sat in the carriage, feeling somewhat anxious. He couldn't help but reach out and pull open the curtain of the carriage door, then peek outside. He saw a dense crowd gathered on the official road not far ahead, the noise incessant.

"How long will it take to get to Southern Xinjiang?" Li Xingyun frowned and asked loudly to Jing Xinmo who was driving the carriage.

Hearing the question, Mirror Heart Demon quickly turned around, a smile on his face, and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, at this rate, we'll reach Southern Xinjiang in four or five days."

Li Xingyun nodded, understanding. However, his gaze remained fixed on the chaotic scene in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled. Normally, the weather had only just warmed up, so there shouldn't be any important farm work to do. Why were these people not staying home with their wives and children, enjoying the warmth of their beds, instead of coming out to join in the fun on this official road?

Thinking of this, Li Xingyun frowned even more tightly. He turned to the Mirror Demon and said again, "What's going on up there? Why is it so noisy?"

Mirror Heart Demon followed Li Xingyun's finger and, after a brief observation, replied nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Your Highness. It seems to me that bandits are robbing us again. We've encountered this kind of thing quite often along the way." He shook his head slightly, as if accustomed to it. After all, this area was far from Shenwu City, and the imperial court's control was relatively weak. Local order was often maintained by individual forces. Consequently, banditry and looting were common occurrences.

"Well, I'll go check it out. Ruyan, are you coming?" For the past few days, Li Xingyun and Liu Ruyan had been rushing along, the monotony of the journey leaving him feeling somewhat bored. Now, upon hearing that there seemed to be something exciting ahead, his previously calm heart suddenly rippled, a surge of intense curiosity and interest welling up within him. So, he turned to Liu Ruyan, who was standing beside him, and asked for her opinion.

Liu Ruyan was a lively woman who loved new things. After hearing Li Xingyun's suggestion, she nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay! I'm free anyway, so I might as well go over and see what's going on."

After saying that, the two men patted the horses under their crotch, squeezed their legs hard on the horses' bellies, and drove the horses towards the crowd not far ahead like arrows.

As the distance gradually shortened, a burst of noisy shouting and cursing reached their ears more and more clearly.

In the center of the crowd stood a burly, bald man. His face was thick with flesh and a fierce expression. He stood there, glaring angrily at the father and daughter in front of him, and shouted, "Are you looking for death? There's no woman I can't get. I advise you to be smart and hand this girl over to me, or I'll be rude to you!"

The old man threatened by the burly man was dressed in finery and looked quite elegant, but his face was pale and his whole body was trembling. He tightly protected his daughter behind him, his eyes filled with fear. Faced with the burly man's intimidation, the old man forced himself to calm down and said in a trembling voice, "Good man, good man, please calm down! I only have this one precious daughter. I beg you to have mercy on us and let us go. I am willing to give you all my money, just to show mercy and not embarrass us..." As he spoke, the old man trembled and pulled a bulging purse from his pocket and handed it to the bald man with both hands.

However, the bald man ignored the money bag in the old man's hand, not even raising his eyelids. He continued to curse viciously, "Fuck you! Do I look like someone who needs money? Don't try to play tricks on me. I want this girl today! If you don't hand her over, I'll kill you right now!" Even so, his body did not move, but continued to glare at the father and daughter in front of him.

The reactions of the gang of followers following behind the burly man were truly bizarre. Li Xingyun had encountered robberies before, and according to common sense, these followers would have been arrogant and domineering, constantly shouting and cursing to build momentum.

However, the gang of men before him were completely different. Most of them seemed dazed, as if frozen in place, unable to move. Only two or three scattered around echoed the bald man.

Seeing this scene, Li Xingyun's eyes lit up and he chuckled: "Oh, interesting!"
