Gu Liyan frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart: Could it be that my identity has been exposed? No way! I was only entangled with Murong Xiaoxiao today…
Before Gu Liyan could even ask, the fat man launched into a blatant charade: "My lord, when the city was sealed off, the exorcism array outside the city reacted. Some demons stepped on the array and entered the city at that time! Now the higher-ups have already issued the 'Captain's Order'!"
"The 'Talent Token' can summon all the talented people in the Central City. Once the token is issued, they all come out. I was worried that they would notice my identity, so I secretly signed up and sneaked in." The fat man rubbed his hands together, looking for praise.
Gu Liyan glared at the fat man, annoyed. "Then what are you doing sneaking around like that? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were guilty!"
"Ahem, it's just that the living environment is different, and I'm afraid they'll follow me and find out my exact location!" The fat man looked at Gu Liyan awkwardly. "How about we rent a house outside, sir?"
Gu Liyan thought about it and also felt that this place was not very safe. After all, she couldn't just set up a formation at the entrance. It would be terrible if someone passing by stepped on it! It would be better to have her own territory where she could show off her skills more often, and that would ensure her safety.
Gu Liyan thought for a moment and nodded. "In that case, go rent a larger house tomorrow. Remember, the bigger the better!"
The fat man nodded and chuckled, "Leave it to me!"
The fat man was overjoyed: he could finally get rid of this woodshed!
The next day, perhaps just as dawn was breaking, the fat man got up and went to work, taking the demon-hunting compass that Gu Liyan had somehow gotten for him and setting off.
Alone in his room, Gu Liyan began to refine his other soul body after a day of gathering soul power.
A soul identical to Gu Liyan sat before him, closed its eyes to rest, and after thinking for a moment, summoned him into the Sea of the Mind, to be summoned out again when needed.
Gu Liyan was now filled with anxiety. It seemed that a storm was brewing in the Central City. No matter how weak the talented people in this world were, they couldn't withstand the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. Gu Liyan had to come up with a foolproof plan to deal with them and also improve his strength to deal with the legendary "Demon Scorpion"!
