183: All members are evil cultivators, and all are old and cunt

Putting aside all prejudices.

Alright.

He couldn't put them aside.

Li Tian Ce felt that there were a lot of problems with this woman, Bailu.

Arrogant, stubborn, imprudent...

However, fortunately, after a thorough analysis of the pros and cons, Bailu was able to listen.

"We're all Chat Group members; it's only right to offer some advice. If she truly refuses to listen and dies, then her death is meaningless." Li Tian Ce didn't believe that an arrogant, unyielding woman was worth the entire Chat Group risking so much to rescue her.

Chu Mo wouldn't, Ning Haocheng wouldn't.

The others probably wouldn't either.

It just depended on whether the 'goody-two-shoes' Gao Yao was willing to lend a hand, but even that would likely be difficult.

After all, Gao Yao was now deeply influenced by a group of evil cultivators and was no longer that honest person who would give his all.

It could be said that,

apart from Bailu, everyone in the Chat Group was a schemer.

Taking a deep breath, Li Tian Ce squatted on the ground and slowly closed his eyes.

Bailu watched him from the side.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Bailu's patience seemed to have run out, and she couldn't help but call out to Li Tian Ce, "Hey! Old Li, are we just going to stay here? Aren't you supposed to go to the capital for the imperial examination?"

"First, I'm considered an illegal immigrant. Although the Chat Group shields my Qi, important positions like court officials are definitely watched over by Immortals and Buddhas. If I dare to meddle recklessly, it's a death wish!"

Li Tian Ce explained the current situation to Bailu with his eyes slightly closed.

Bailu nodded slightly, "You're right! But we can't just do nothing!"

"I'm searching in the Chat Group's mall for items that will allow me to exist legitimately in your world," Li Tian Ce replied.

In a world where Immortals and Buddhas exist, important court officials often carry a touch of legendary aura.

For example, Wei Zheng, Xue Rengui, and Bao Zheng. Wei Zheng became one of the Four Great Judges of the Underworld after his death, Xue Rengui became the King of the Tenth Hall of Reincarnation in the Underworld after his death, and Bao Zheng became the King Yama of the Fifth Hall of the Underworld after his death.

Although it's unknown if these are true or false, folk legends say so, and the deviation wouldn't be too significant.

And the emperor's position he intended to usurp was even more legendary, being crowned as the True Dragon Son of Heaven and the Reincarnation of the Ziwei Star.

Therefore, to usurp the throne, he first had to resolve the issue of his legitimate identity, and secondly, he had to acquire a legendary aura to deceive the eyes of the Immortals and Buddhas.

Only then could he succeed.

"Found it." Li Tian Ce's eyes lit up, and he used the one million points he had borrowed from Ning Haocheng to purchase an identity card.

This card would give him a legal and legitimate identity in this world, enough to deceive the Heavenly Dao of this world.

However, it was limited to a commoner's identity.

"What's this card for?" Bailu blinked curiously, staring at the card in Li Tian Ce's hand.

"To obtain a legitimate identity." Li Tian Ce didn't explain much to Bailu, but directly crushed the identity card.

As the identity card shattered, it transformed into white light and entered his body.

In an instant, Li Tian Ce felt his body lighten considerably, and he felt more integrated with this world, no longer having that sneaky feeling.

"These points were well spent..."

One million points for a legitimate identity.

This deficit in debt naturally had to be recouped from other sources.

Judging from Chu Mo and Ning Haocheng's experience of completing hidden quests, as long as he usurped the imperial throne of this world, he would definitely complete the hidden quest.

As for how much the reward would be...

The rewards for hidden quests are usually very generous, certainly not less than 200,000 points.

"Let's go. You still know too little about this world."

Li Tian Ce called out to Bailu and then set off in a chosen direction.

"Hey! Aren't you going to find my two elder sisters with me?" Bailu called out from behind.

Li Tian Ce replied without turning his head, "They are both major figures, and Fahai is too. If we randomly approach them and give blind instructions, disturbing the plans of the Immortals and Buddhas, do you think we two will have a good ending?"

"Furthermore, you were instantly killed by Fahai as soon as you appeared. Personally, I believe it's absolutely inseparable from the Immortals and Buddhas. Now that you've finally escaped, going back is no different from seeking death!"

Bailu thought for a moment and felt that Li Tian Ce's words made a lot of sense. Looking back at the many Xianxia dramas she had watched,

people close to the protagonist either died or were injured.

Therefore, it was better for her to stay away from the vortex of conflict for now, to avoid being treated as useless by the Immortals and Buddhas and casually crushed.

Bailu quickly followed Li Tian Ce's pace.

"You're right, I'll listen to you!"

........

........

The two traveled west.

They traveled for two days.

During these two days, Li Tian Ce did not reveal any of his special abilities, instead, he went around as an ordinary person, inquiring about the news of this world.

Ultimately,

he summarized this world with one word:

Chaos!

As for how chaotic it was:

Corrupt officials were everywhere, and bandits would rob them at any mountain they passed. Ordinary people lived in dire straits.

Good people were like fatty meat on a chopping board.

This is the literal meaning.

On the chopping board, fatty meat.

A thousand li without a rooster's crow, white bones exposed in the wilderness.

This was a true depiction of this world.

"This road is mine, this tree is mine. If you want to pass, leave behind..."

"Why waste so much breath? Kill the man, leave the woman behind, and let me have some fun first!"

At this moment, passing through a desolate mountain, another group of ignorant bandits came out to rob them.

Riding on horseback, Li Tian Ce looked at the few people as if they were already dead.

He said to Bailu, who was riding beside him,

"Do it! Be quick about it."

"Ah? It's me again?" Bailu's face showed reluctance, but her body was very honest.

She casually struck out with a palm.

Her demonic Qi surged, directly crushing the few people.

After doing this, she looked at Li Tian Ce and asked in confusion, "Why have you always made me act these past few days? I always feel like you're trying to trick me again!"

"Humans killing humans, demons killing humans, the main theme of this world is chaos. The world is in great disorder, Prodigies are emerging everywhere. It's either you get killed, or I get killed. Does it matter who kills whom?"

Li Tian Ce dismounted, walked to a large tree ahead, looked at the dark clouds in the distance, and murmured, "It's going to rain heavily. Let's rest here for a while and report our progress in the Chat Group. Your world has great potential for development."

Bailu slowly nodded, dismounted, and spread out a futon beside Li Tian Ce to sit down.

"Rumble!"

A clap of thunder, and lightning surged within the dark clouds.

The rain grew heavier and heavier, pouring down in torrents.
