"Damn, this Spiritual Spring Li Family!"

Ma Liang cursed as he returned home, and when he turned his head, he saw Shi Tianming sitting gloomily on the sofa. He immediately asked, "Hey, what do we do next?"

Daoist Li died, and the Spiritual Spring Li Family was about to collapse. These events, to some extent, were inextricably linked to them.

If it weren't for the Tianyi Wang Family inciting Daoist Li to target Li Xinyue, causing the Spiritual Spring Li Family to misjudge and believe that Yan Luo was going to attack Daoist Li through Li Xinyue, the Spiritual Spring Li Family might still have managed to struggle a bit.

Yan Luo used self-destruction to bring down the Spiritual Spring Li Family. After this, many people would undoubtedly become wary of Yan Luo.

However, with this turn of events, they lost their ally on Crimson No.2, and getting Li Xinyue to quit being a Hunter might be very difficult.

Shi Tianming was also incredibly anxious. After Daoist Li's downfall, he couldn't think of any way to bring Li Xinyue home and make her stop being a Hunter.

Now Shi Tianming finally understood why Daoist Li was so apprehensive about Yan Luo, insisting on waiting until Yan Luo entered the Abyss before taking action against Li Xinyue.

In their plan, making Li Xinyue quit being a Hunter would take a considerable amount of time, as they needed to fight within the rules. But they never expected Yan Luo to simply flip the table and topple the Spiritual Spring Li Family.

Currently, the Spiritual Spring Li Family must be overwhelmed, trying every means to dispose of their assets, transferring their visible estate underground, and then looking for an opportunity to rise again.

The Fields Clan was leading other big and small merchants in a blockade, preventing the Li Family from achieving their goals, leaving them no time to deal with the Tianyi Wang Family's matters.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Ma Liang's tone was quite unfriendly, "You don't seriously think there's no way out, do you?"

Shi Tianming snapped back from his thoughts, glaring fiercely at Ma Liang, and squeezed out through his teeth, "Shut up!"

Ma Liang crossed his arms and sneered, "People from the heavens aren't much smarter than us, huh? I thought you'd have a backup plan, but you were quite confident, actually only prepared one!"

Shi Tianming's teeth gnashed audibly, but he couldn't say a word in retort.

Because he did, indeed, only have one plan.

They could only rely on Daoist Li's authority to pressure Li Xinyue consistently, making Li Xinyue give up being a Hunter on her own.

After all, this wasn't a life-and-death struggle; they had to ensure Li Xinyue's survival. Ideally, she should come back intact, because their second young master preferred original humans.

But all those well-thought plans were overturned by Yan Luo!

What to do next?

Shi Tianming racked his brains but couldn't come up with a good solution.

......

A lot had happened outside, and many people were discussing Yan Luo.

They all agreed that, from the moment Daoist Li died, the title of 'Yama' was deservedly Yan Luo's.

Yan Luo not only brought death to Demons but to humans as well.

However, Yan Luo ignored all of it.

At this very moment, he was lying on his bed, feeling the stinging pain beneath the tiny puncture marks on his hipbone.

Although Sasa had never extracted marrow before, she or perhaps Yan Luo was lucky, succeeding on the first try.

In no time, Yan Luo's wound healed, and he got up from the bed, dressing to cover his sculpted muscles.

The pain was also fading. Yan Luo watched as Sasa cautiously placed his marrow into a refrigerated jar and couldn't help but ask, "How long will that bit of marrow be enough for your research?"

Sasa closed the jar and replied, "The quantity doesn't look like much, but it's enough for me to research for quite a while."

Yan Luo's blood could already alter experimental animals. Sasa believed that even a bit of his marrow could make significant changes in experimental animals.

This time, Sasa not only bought experimental animals with low magic power adaptability but also those with it.

She wanted to see how Yan Luo's blood and marrow would affect these experimental animals with varying magic power adaptability.

Yan Luo nodded, "Considering that they might become mutated creatures, I left some weapons in the basement. Also, I equipped Keke with two weapons. If you can't handle it on your own, just call Keke."

Upon hearing that, Sasa was astonished, "Is Keke a military-grade intelligent robot?"

Civilian robots couldn't be equipped with weapons; or rather, they couldn't use any weapons due to program restrictions.

Only military-grade intelligent robots had the capability to use weapons.

Yan Luo explained, "There was a time when Hunters would have some intelligent robots accompany them to the Abyss to hunt Demons together. But the high concentration of magic power affected not only humans but robots too. After staying in the Abyss for over ten days, robots would experience 'initial awakening,' developing self-awareness. However, this self-awareness would slowly fade as the robot followed its master out of the Abyss.

"You can probably guess what happened next. That's right, some robots, after accompanying their masters on dozens of Abyss hunts, fully awakened and betrayed their masters. After that, the Hunter's Guild no longer allowed Hunters to bring robots into the Abyss; all intelligent devices carried must undergo special processing. That batch of military-grade robots should have all been destroyed, but some manufacturers, wanting to recoup costs, labeled their robots as civilian and put them on the market. Keke is one such antique, a birthday gift from my grandfather to my father, which later accompanied me as I grew up."

That's why Yan Luo always brought Keke along.

Keke was not just an ordinary housekeeper robot; it carried many of his emotions.

"In any case, Keke's program includes weapon-handling skills. Although many years have passed, my father and I have continuously updated Keke's system and parts over the years. It can suppress dangerous mutant creatures. You can call on Keke if you're in danger."

Recalling from deep memories, Yan Luo handed over the weapon-use authorization of Keke to Sasa.

Sasa felt a lot more at ease immediately.

Previously, when she injected Yan Luo's blood into experimental animals, it caused alterations. What if she injected marrow? Would they directly transform into mutated creatures?

If they became mutated creatures, the eco-box wouldn't be able to contain them, and she would have to find a way to kill them.

Sasa had already decided that whenever she conducted experiments, she would have Keke by her side, armed.

"I should be heading for my next Abyss hunt," Yan Luo reminded Sasa, "If there's anything you need my help with, now's the time to say so."

Yan Luo spoke just as directly, with no room for pleasantries.

Sasa shook her head, "There's nothing I require your help with anymore. I can handle the rest on my own."

To Sasa, Yan Luo was almost equivalent to an illiterate when it came to experimental affairs; he was of no help.

Perhaps after being around Yan Luo for a while, Sasa had adopted a bit of his manner. She wouldn't have been so straightforward before.

Yan Luo nodded silently and began gathering his equipment for diving into the Abyss.

Sasa quietly left Yan Luo's room and headed towards the basement.

She didn't intend to start experimenting right away; she came here to organize previous experimental data.

Mainly the data on the experimental animal she had injected with Yan Luo's blood.

Sasa found the changes in that experimental animal quite odd because she hadn't significantly increased its diet after injecting Yan Luo's blood. So, how did it manage to alter its body structure in such a short time?

Even Yan Luo himself couldn't achieve that; he had to progress gradually.

Logically, that experimental animal's rate of change couldn't surpass its original host, Yan Luo, yet it had indeed exceeded Yan Luo's.

What was it that caused such astonishing changes in that experimental animal?

Sasa thought this definitely needed close examination.
