Chapter 280: You guys have fun, this cat won’t accompany you

“This guy’s putting on quite a show, it seems he really intends to refine us to death.” Looking at the gradually shrinking red cover, Li Li couldn’t help but mutter.

“Of course, that was his original intention.” Hong Fu said, looking at the gathered martial artists, “It seems that quite a few people were killed by the Corpse Ghosts, there are only so few left.”

“Yeah, there were definitely more people when we entered.” Feng Ruxue nodded.

When they entered the tomb, the number of people was truly a sea of humanity. But now only this small group remained.

Just how did these Corpse Ghosts manage to kill so many people in such a short time?

“Looks like all those guys have become nourishment.” Li Li muttered, looking at Feng Ruyue and the others behind Feng Ruxue, “The situation isn’t looking good. Do you want to offer some spirit herbs to buy your lives? That way I can take you away directly when things get urgent.”

The current situation was clear, the tomb owner wouldn’t let them leave. Unless they could tear open space, but for now? No one had that ability.

Of course, he didn’t either, but that didn’t stop them from leaving through the Comprehensive Network.

Therefore, only Feng Ruxue and her group were left with no way out.

“You have a way to take me away directly?” Upon hearing this, Feng Ruyue’s worried face instantly showed a hint of joy.

“Yes, but it will require a certain price. So, do you want money or your lives?” Li Li said, looking at Feng Ruyue.

Don’t say he didn’t look after her, he had given them a way out. If they didn’t want it? Then there was nothing he could do.

“Of course we want our lives! What’s the use of money if we’re dead?”

“Yeah, tell us quickly, how many spirit herbs do you need?” Feng Ruyue’s companions said excitedly.

“Not much, just four spirit herbs per person. Don’t think I’m ripping you off, I’m telling you, compared to the price of your lives, this isn’t expensive.” Li Li emphasized.

If it wasn’t for their help in echoing his words earlier, he wouldn’t be so generous.

Hearing this, the martial artists took out spirit herbs and gave them to Li Li while saying:

“Of course, of course. But when are we leaving?”

“Yeah, I don’t think it’s a good idea to stay here any longer.”

They were certainly willing to part with just four spirit herbs. However, they were now more concerned about when they would actually depart.

The longer they stayed in this place, the more dangerous it became. Only by leaving early could they escape this quagmire.

“We’ll leave after I’ve dealt with all the remaining Corpse Ghosts. Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems.” Li Li said.

Don’t be in a hurry to leave, wait until he captures all the Corpse Ghosts and fulfills his agreement with Sister Hong Fu.

Moreover, the most important thing was that after killing people, these Corpse Ghosts had many storage rings from the martial artists on them.

It was clear that the tomb owner was also a thrifty person, not forgetting to take their belongings after killing them. He liked this kind of person the most.

“Buzz”

As Li Li was thinking, another Corpse Ghost rushed over. It was immediately caught by him and put into his storage space.

The surrounding martial artists cheered upon seeing this. Only a few martial artists and the players mixed among them frowned:

“The tomb owner is actually letting this cat collect the Corpse Ghosts? Something’s not right, everyone be careful.”

“Indeed, it seems the tomb owner has set his sights on this cat.”

Clearly these Corpse Ghosts were the key to the tomb owner’s resurrection, yet the cat had collected so many, and the tomb owner hadn’t reacted.

He was still letting these Corpse Ghosts charge, no matter how you looked at it, it was too strange. Unless the tomb owner was delayed by something? Then he was definitely brewing a huge conspiracy.

Thinking of this, they couldn’t help but take a few steps back, distancing themselves from Li Li and the others. They didn’t want to be caught in the crossfire later.

“Gluttonous Cat, you need to be careful. The tomb owner hasn’t reacted until now. I’m afraid he has set his sights on you, you have to be careful that he doesn’t try to possess you.” Seeing another Corpse Ghost added to the collection, Hong Fu transmitted her voice to Li Li.

“Don’t worry, Sister. He wouldn’t dare possess me even if I gave him the chance, believe it or not?” Li Li said nonchalantly. He was currently refining the Extinction Divine Thunder.

If the tomb owner wasn’t afraid of death, he could come and possess him, let’s see if he, with only his soul left, could withstand his Extinction Divine Thunder.

“Of course I believe it, you little rascal are so afraid of death, how could you be easily tricked?” Hong Fu said with a playful tone.

With this little rascal’s fear of death, she definitely believed what he said.

“Who isn’t afraid of death? Being afraid of death is a virtue, you know?” Li Li muttered, looking at the four Corpse Ghosts rushing towards him with a playful smile, “Speak of the devil, Sister, you guys get ready to dodge. This guy is really coming for me, as expected, this cat is so excellent that someone wants to possess me.”

“Then be careful.” Hong Fu said and carefully retreated.

After all, possession was no joke. She didn’t want to end up working for someone else’s benefit.

“This cat is getting stranger and stranger. Clearly not a martial artist, but its soul is exceptionally strong, and its physique is terrifyingly powerful.” The tomb owner, hidden among the Corpse Ghosts, muttered while sizing up Li Li, but his figure didn’t show any intention of stopping.

No matter what the situation was with this cat in front of him, as long as he succeeded in possessing it, everything would become clear.

Thinking of this, the tomb owner’s eyes became determined.

“What a fearless guy, can’t you just be a good little coward? You actually want to use such petty tricks to scheme against me.” Seeing the Corpse Ghost rushing to him, Li Li couldn’t help but shake his head.

Then four thunderous big hands appeared on his body, pressing directly towards the Corpse Ghost.

“Zizi”

“Zizi”

After the thunderous big hands touched the Corpse Ghost, a piercing electrical current sound immediately emitted from its body.

The next second, an illusory human figure suddenly floated out from the Corpse Ghost’s body and plunged into Li Li’s body.

The speed was so fast that no one had time to react.

Instantly, everyone’s face changed drastically:

“Not good! The tomb owner wants to be reborn through possession.”

“Damn it! Everyone attack this cat together. If we let the tomb owner revive, none of us will be able to escape.”

“That’s right, let’s all attack.”

Saying that, a group of people looked at Li Li, their eyes filled with the intent to strike.

“If you guys want to die, you can try. Let’s see if you’re faster or if we’re faster at killing you.” Hong Fu said coldly, her body emitting terrifying flames, blocking those who were about to move.

“Indeed, if anyone dares to touch my cat brother, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You bunch of ungrateful people, don’t forget who’s protecting you!”

“That’s right, I, Wu, am ashamed to be associated with you. You are truly the scum of martial artists, the dregs of society.”

Feng Ruxue’s companions also spoke up, confronting the other martial artists.

“Senior brother, should we attack too?”

“Yeah, if we get rid of the tomb owner, this formation will definitely stop, right?”

The people from the Huntian Sect said. Although they didn’t know why their sect hadn’t discovered the anomaly in the tomb yet, if they got rid of the tomb owner, they could definitely turn this crisis into an opportunity. After all, only these people were left.

And their strength was relatively intact compared to the others. In the upcoming search for opportunities, they would definitely have an advantage.

“Don’t act rashly, this cat isn’t easy to deal with.” Chi Jing’an shook his head and said.

The next second, a scream came from Li Li’s body.

“Ah!”

A figure, covered in black Qi, was ejected from Li Li’s body. It was the tomb owner who had just entered Li Li’s body, but now he looked particularly disheveled compared to before.

“You despicable, cunning cat! You actually refined the Extinction Divine Thunder inside your body, aren’t you afraid of refining yourself to death?” The tomb owner, floating in mid-air, said furiously.

He originally thought this possession was a sure thing. After all, how could a Martial Venerable realm be his opponent at the Martial Emperor realm?

But he never expected that after entering the cat’s body, this cat actually tricked him into possessing it and then backhandedly pulled out the Extinction Divine Thunder to strike him.

He had lived for so many years and had never encountered such a despicable and shameless person.

“Of course I’m afraid, but would you have come out obediently if I hadn’t planted a mine in my body?” Li Li said with a sneer, casually collecting the last four Corpse Ghosts, “Now all the ingredients you need to refine the pill are in my hands, I’d like to see how you’re going to revive yourself.”

Dare to possess him? You have to be prepared for the consequences of failing to possess him.

“As long as I kill you, wouldn’t everything be settled? Do you really think I have no way to deal with you?” The tomb owner’s face darkened, “With the Extinction Divine Thunder inside you, I can’t possess you, but as long as I kill you, the result will be the same. Do you really think a Martial Venerable can stand against a Martial Emperor?”

Even if he was injured now, even if he was just a soul now, it was still no problem to deal with these ants.

“Of course I know that, so I don’t plan to play with you anymore.” Li Li smiled at the tomb owner, then glanced at the martial artists blocked by Hong Fu, “You guys are lucky, this cat is in a hurry now, so I’m too lazy to deal with you. I hope you guys can survive and have time to settle the score with this cat.”

If he had more time, he would have played with these guys.

But now this scheming old man was clearly enraged, he didn’t have time to play with them. Just let this scheming old man teach them a good lesson.

“What are you talking about? Don’t think you can still escape. Within this world, I am the master.”

The tomb owner scoffed, did this cat still think it could escape? What dream was it having?

“Yes, yes.” Li Li nodded his big head, “As long as you’re happy. I don’t want to argue with you, anyway, we’ll meet again if fate allows it.”

Saying that, he swished his tail, and Hong Fu, Feng Ruxue, and the others around him disappeared with a “swoosh”.

At the same time, the nearby players also vanished.

This scene left the remaining martial artists dumbfounded, they couldn’t figure out what had happened:

“What’s going on? How did they leave? Did anyone see?”

“Yeah, why could they leave?”

“What kind of method is this? Why didn’t I sense anything unusual?” The tomb owner was just as bewildered as they were. He looked around, his eyes full of confusion.

He couldn’t understand how these people had disappeared from before his eyes. Clearly, he had sealed off this world.

“Thump”

“Thump”

In another room, as Li Li landed, the others followed, resulting in a scene of people squeezed together, piled on top of each other like sardines in a can.

“Gluttonous Cat, you bad guy, get your tail off my face, it’s tickling my nose and making me uncomfortable.”

“Who put their foot on my face? Get it off, or I’ll chop it off.”

“Brother Cat, what’s going on here? Why is it so crowded?”

Noisy voices came from the people crammed together.

“All of you keep it down, we’re renting this house, it’s not this cat’s own.” Li Li crawled out from the pile of people and dragged them towards the door.

Fortunately, it was morning and there were not many people around, otherwise, with their noisy commotion, who knows how many people would be alerted.

“Ah? Brother Cat, is your world so cruel? You’re so strong, but you don’t even own your own house?”

“Yeah, you have to rent?”

The martial artists couldn’t help but say, this cat was so strong, but it couldn’t afford a house in its original world? What kind of world was that?

“Of course it’s not that cruel, this world is very safe and stable, it’s just that this cat is currently in seclusion.” Li Li explained, looking towards the stairs.

Instantly, everyone also looked towards the stairs, “Someone’s coming up, do we need to hide?”

“Yeah, since Brother Cat is in seclusion, wouldn’t our appearance be too abrupt?”

“Don’t worry, it’s one of our own, you don’t need to hide.” Hearing this, Li Li waved his paw, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

“Cat Cat, what are you doing? I could hear the commotion all the way downstairs, don’t try to lie to me and say you weren’t making any noise.” Yuan Ni said as she walked up from downstairs, then she was completely stunned.

“I was talking to my friends, what’s wrong? Do you need anything?” Li Li asked.

“This…these are your friends, Cat Cat?” Yuan Ni rubbed her eyes, somewhat incredulous, “They’re not from our world, are they?”

“Yes, Sister, you’re so smart, you figured it out right away. So can you keep it a secret for this cat?” Li Li said, “They need to stay in our world for a while before going back. Also, many of them are martial arts experts, if you have any questions, you can ask them for advice.”

“Really? Then is there anything you need my help with?” Yuan Ni asked excitedly, Cat Cat’s friends were actually martial arts experts? That was amazing.

“Of course we need your help, see if your house can accommodate more people. They’re a bit crowded, and they don’t have any proper identification. They need a place to stay if they want to stay here for a while.” Li Li said. There were more than a dozen of them.

It was too conspicuous to be huddled together, they had to find a way to settle them down properly.

“Well, my place… at most, I can only accommodate three people, any more and I can’t do anything.” Yuan Ni shrugged helplessly.

There was only one spare room in her house, and even if they squeezed together, it could only accommodate three people at most. Any more people wouldn’t fit.

“Alright, then you guys discuss and decide who will stay here.” Li Li said to Feng Ruxue and the others, “The rest of you come with me, I have another place to stay.”

“Okay.” Feng Ruxue nodded, and then three of them stayed behind.

The rest followed Li Li and continued walking.

“I can’t believe you have so many homes in this world, Gluttonous Cat.”

Hong Fu followed Li Li with sparkling eyes, this was Gluttonous Cat’s world? It was indeed exactly like on TV.

“Of course, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows, how can you put all your eggs in one basket? This cat is naturally not that stupid.” Li Li said proudly, looking at the curious Feng Ruxue and the others, “I’ll take you to find a place to stay first. As for understanding this world, take your time, there’s no hurry.”

“Okay, I was just a little surprised, I didn’t expect such a world to exist.” Feng Ruxue looked around, as if observing some novelty.

“Yeah, it’s so surprising. These houses are actually so tall, and there are actually iron horses made of metal that can run.”

“We’ve never seen this in the place we live.”

The others also spoke up, they had never seen such a world.

“That’s right, you haven’t seen it before. Take a good look at it during this time. I don’t think the tomb incident will end so soon, you guys might have to stay a while longer.” Li Li smiled.

Until they knew when that guy in the tomb would be finished, they might have to stay here for a while longer.

“That’s for sure, after all, this incident is so big, if we go back immediately, we’ll probably be held accountable.”

“Yeah, especially with so many people from the sects dead this time.”

“That’s right, so we’ll have to trouble Brother Cat this time.”

The crowd couldn’t help but say, this time, things had really blown up. So many people had entered, and only they had come out alive.

If word got out and they showed their faces, they would be caught if they didn’t disappear.

“No problem, it’s just a small matter. Since this cat has accepted your money, I will naturally make proper arrangements for you.” Li Li waved his paw nonchalantly.

Bringing these guys back had its benefits. Firstly, to have them teach his shovel officer martial arts, and secondly, with so many Martial King realm cultivators appearing, he didn’t believe the Demon Race would still dare to cause trouble. If these people walked around outside, the Demon Race would probably be scared to only play within the Demon World.

“Huh? Cat Cat, why did you bring so many cosplayers here?” Liu Yun opened the door and couldn’t help but be stunned. What were these heroic-looking people in ancient costumes cosplaying?

“Xiao Yun, they’re not cosplayers, they’re all Nascent Soul realm experts.” Unlike Liu Yun, who couldn’t sense Feng Ruxue and the others’ auras, Wu Xiaohui was so nervous that her entire ghost was trembling.

It was terrifying, so many Nascent Soul cultivators had appeared.

“I said, can you guys restrain your auras a bit? You’re scaring my ghost sister.” Li Li said, feeling a bit speechless.

What were these guys doing without restraining their auras? What if they scared his ghost sister and something happened to her? Would they go and be his shovel officer’s wife instead?

“Sorry! Sorry! We didn’t realize for a moment, we’ll restrain our auras now.”

“Yeah, yeah, it was an unintentional mistake, please don’t mind, Miss Ghost.” Hearing this, the crowd apologized as they restrained their auras.

Wu Xiaohui finally felt a little more relaxed, but still looked at Feng Ruxue and the others with some fear.

“You’re quite something, Gluttonous Cat. You have a sister here and another one over there, be honest with me, how many sisters do you have?” Hong Fu grabbed Li Li and questioned him.

She had figured it out, this gluttonous cat was a womanizer, with good-looking sisters everywhere.

“Not that many, just a few acquaintances.” Li Li mumbled, “You guys decide who will stay with Sister Liu Yun. Remember, it’s for the girls to stay, the rest of you men come with me, I’ll take you to another place.”

“Huh? You don’t just hit on girls, you hit on guys too?” Hong Fu narrowed her eyes.
