The distant roar gradually subsided, but Wen Yu could sense various complex mental fluctuations colliding in the air.
For intelligent beings, communicating through mental waves is indeed one of the best ways to overcome language barriers.
Wen Yu didn't want to involve himself in the subsequent developments of Tang Haofei's alliance—after all, it had nothing to do with him.
No matter how powerful the military might be, they could at most pick up the scraps that they didn't want. With the presence of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu truly did not believe that the benefits he had reserved for himself would be snatched away by others!
Moreover, deep down in his heart, Wen Yu harbored some other thoughts—such as allowing the military to become a bit stronger...
After witnessing the complete destruction of the once-powerful Immortal Heroic World, having clearly learned the truth that the sovereign harbored ill intentions towards professional practitioners, and realizing that even the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor couldn't escape the sovereign's control, the true feelings lurking in Wen Yu's heart could only be described with one word: fear.
Wanting to survive, Wen Yu couldn't rely solely on himself—no matter how strong an individual's power might be, it might only reach the realm of the former Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor. But what good would that do?
Wouldn't he still be ruthlessly destroyed by the sovereign?
With the military's existence and Tang Haofei by his side, perhaps this collective and individual standing in front of him could allow him to live a little longer...
The thoughts in his mind sent a chill through Wen Yu's body.
His perspective on the military and Tang Haofei changed once again, indicating that Wen Yu's own level of understanding and thoughts had shifted—now, he felt a bit afraid...
Originally, the unknown awaited him ahead—unknown meant uncertainty, and within that uncertainty lay great hope.
However, as this unknown slowly revealed a corner, Wen Yu discovered that what lay beyond was an unfathomable abyss.
When the fog lifted, perhaps what Wen Yu saw was not just the truth, but the shattering of hope and an unfathomable despair!
"Turn right in 500 meters."
"Turn left at the third intersection ahead."
A voice resembling a navigation system came from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, directing Wen Yu as he moved back and forth in this area.
Fortunately, the population in Lingyun City wasn't large at the moment—most of the Immortal Heroic World Souls had perished on the battlefield, and once these people awakened, they would surely return to Lingyun City. After some time, the population of Lingyun City would likely experience explosive growth.
Moreover, there weren't any powerful figures among the natives of the Immortal Heroic World currently in Lingyun City—perhaps they were concealing their auras, making it difficult for Wen Yu to perceive them.
In any case, Wen Yu transformed into a shadow and walked on without being discovered by any creatures.
At this fifth-level stage, Wen Yu might not compare to certain super freaks, but he was absolutely certain that within the fifth-level tier, his strength was outstanding!
"Arrived!"
With the instruction from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu stopped right in front of the dilapidated little wooden house.
Turning to look around, the surroundings became vividly clear in Wen Yu's eyes.
Chaotic and dilapidated—these were the only two adjectives Wen Yu could think of to describe the place he found himself in at this moment.
"This was the slum of Lingyun City, nothing much to see."
Once, Lingyun City was roughly the size of a prefectural-level city in Huaxia, and within a city, class differentiation naturally occurred. Those without strength, capability, or connections were unlikely to have spacious and beautiful houses to live in.
"Let's go inside."
Upon hearing the words of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, Wen Yu adjusted his collar briefly, then slowly opened the door and stepped into the small wooden house before him.
