Consuming lifespan to draw rewards, I'm invincible in the apocalypse!

Then, by taking advantage of Zero's characteristics, he reverted to the level 0 version, making those who had seen him forget this memory.

However, unexpectedly...

Almost the instant he appeared, he didn't even have time to touch the incense smoke from the richly dressed young man.

Then the elegantly dressed youth who had just disappeared into the smoke suddenly turned back and attacked.

Its form reappeared within the smoke.

The whole situation instantly became awkward.

The elegantly dressed young man had a calm expression, his gaze fixed on the "Zero Version" of Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi felt a little embarrassed, but he kept a straight face.

In the ensuing, awkward silence, the elegantly dressed young man finally spoke first:

"May I ask what brings you to my ancestral hall at night?"

At first glance, the tone was quite polite.

But Jiang Yi dared not be careless in the slightest.

After all, his account "Sangling" was basically unequipped.

Even at level 10, it only has attributes but no actual abilities.

Yes, it doesn't even have the ability to resurrect!

If this elegantly dressed youth gets annoyed, he might unleash a powerful attack on him.

He might just die!

Of course, only the identity of "Zero" is gone.

Jiang Yi's other identities can still survive.

But he couldn't just die so easily, since he had finally managed to obtain his identity as a member of the Mysterious Clan!

As for directly switching to his strongest identity, "Jiang Yi"?

Jiang Yi didn't intend to do that either.

after all……

If he could negotiate with this finely dressed young man entirely using the "Zero" (a derogatory term for someone who is completely lost or indifferent) approach.

So, when the "Zero Loss" status changes from level 10 back to level 0.

The elegantly dressed boy will probably forget everything about him completely, just like the immortal beast and the little filament before him!

and so……

This will be the first time Jiang Yi uses the mysterious clan's strange abilities on someone other than his servants.

Thinking this, Jiang Yi quickly calmed himself down and stopped thinking about switching back to his original "Jiang Yi" body.

He felt the intimidating gaze from the richly dressed youth, his expression calm, his mind racing.

He smiled slowly and calmly, saying:

"A night visit? No, you should know I'm following you."

The elegantly dressed young man wasn't surprised by these words.

He stared intently at Jiang Yi, remained silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "Then why are you following me?"

Jiang Yi had already come up with a reason in his mind, and calmly said:

“A younger member of the family purchased a batch of turntables from Guibao Store.”

"But the price of that spinning wheel is really unreasonable."

"I wanted to go to the store to argue with them, but I saw that you had urgently dispatched more people from that shady shop, and you looked like something was very wrong, so I left in a hurry."

"I'm a warm-hearted and helpful person, and I especially enjoy helping others."

"Seeing that you looked like you had something to do, I couldn't help but want to come and help you."

He was only half telling the truth.

Of course, the claim of being "enthusiastic and eager to help" is obviously fake.

It would be a miracle if the boy believed he wanted to help.

But Jiang Yi, thick-skinned as ever, smiled and said, "May I ask what brings you here in such a hurry?"

The elegantly dressed young man remained silent, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yi.

He wondered when this person had started stalking him.

How many of his secrets did I actually hear?

And there is...

He asked directly in a deep voice, "May I ask your name, sir?"

"Oh," Jiang Yi smiled kindly again, "you should have guessed it by now, I am Wu Qi."

however.

The elegantly dressed youth waved his hand, and another curtain of water appeared in front of him.

And on that water screen, there was clearly the original "Wuqi".

Jiang Yi glanced at the water curtain, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "That's right, that's me."

"Who in this world of martial arts doesn't have a few identities?"

Then he asked the richly dressed young man, "May I ask how I should address you, sir?"

Upon hearing this question, the elegantly dressed young man, Wu Liu, was suddenly stunned.

Because he could tell that this guy who called himself "Wuqi" wasn't lying.

He seemed genuinely unaware of who he was.

but……

They didn't know who he was, but the investigation led them to him?

No! wrong!

At this moment, Wu Liu suddenly realized—

Perhaps he was wrong!

That little boy might have just been tricked into going to a shady shop by chance.

It wasn't a shady shop that he specifically chose!

Correct!

Once this is confirmed.

Wu Liu's mind went through the image of the little boy buying the spinning wheel again.

In fact, the little boy's reactions from beginning to end were just those of a customer who had been scammed.

Wu Liu just now thought that it was because the little boy was acting under someone else's orders, which is why he couldn't see through the deception.

But I only realized it now...

He really was just an ordinary customer.

Thinking about it this way, Wu Liu frowned slightly.

At the same time, he also told Jiang Yi, "If you don't mind, young friend Wuqi, you can call me Brother Wuliu."

"Oh, Brother Wu Liu." Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, addressing him smoothly, and continued with a smile, "Then I wonder what trouble Brother Wu Liu has encountered? I wonder if I, your humble servant, would have the honor of helping you solve it?"

Wu Liu's eyes flickered, and she stared at Jiang Yi for a long while.

He seemed to be thinking about something when he suddenly smiled in a friendly manner:

"Since young friend Wuqi is so kind and generous, I won't hold back anymore."

As he spoke, he turned around and lit an incense stick for each of the three statues.

Then, with utmost respect, they bowed to the statue in the middle.

At the same time, he was muttering some kind of incantation under his breath.

Then, it's unclear which detail triggered what mechanism.

On the strangely shaped statue, a part that was originally closed suddenly opened slowly.

At first glance, it looks like some sleeping behemoth suddenly opening its eyes.

It was at this moment that Jiang Yi discovered—

The entire statue has changed.

It originally looked oddly shaped, almost like misplaced building blocks.

At that moment, it was as if the willow tree had triggered something, and the misplaced blocks were restored to normal.

It was at this moment that Jiang Yi finally saw clearly that the monster on the statue looked like a marine creature.

It resembles a snake in some ways and a fish in others, with a webbed hand on each side of its body, somewhat like a penguin's hand.

At that moment, the entire statue seemed to come alive.

Those webbed penguin paws were slowly patting something.

Jiang Yi watched, feeling quite nervous inside.

After all, he didn't think this boy who called himself Wu Liu was so naive as to ask him to help solve problems.

He could be attacked at any moment by a sudden outburst!

But the good thing is...

The statue's webbed hands swung rhythmically, five times to the left and six times to the right.

The atmosphere of the entire ancestral hall seemed to suddenly change.

Wu Liu then pointed at him and said, "Young friend Wu Qi, stand here."

He was referring to the prayer mat on the left side of the three statues.

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then actually stood there.

Wu Liu stood on the futon in the middle.

After a while...

White mist slowly rose from the three small incense burners in front of the prayer cushion.

Jiang Yi sensed a spatial force.

With a thought, the world before my eyes had completely changed.

When Jiang Yi's gaze took in this world, his pupils suddenly dilated!

Beside him, Wu Liu narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression unchanged, and slowly said, "Young friend Wu Qi, do you now know where my trouble lies?"

Jiang Yi looked at Wu Liu with a complicated expression.

A moment later, he looked again...

That towering tree, nurtured in the blood pool.

Blood pool, towering trees.

What a familiar scene!

But the real tree...

It truly resembles the immortal tree that disappeared in the 11th section of the black market!

Of course, after a moment's thought, Jiang Yi was almost certain—

That tree couldn't possibly be an immortal tree.

However, he still feigned a normal reaction, his eyes serious and complicated as he said:

"If Brother Wu Liu has stolen the Tree of Immortality from the 11th section of the Black Market... then I can't help you."
