Online: I Can See Health Bars

"Wouldn't it be better to retreat while we search? Given the brutal clash between the Li Family and the Lin Family today, I bet even the Bonfire Gathering didn't see it coming. Some folks might be too scared to cause any trouble now. Look, as far as we can tell, only this guy has shown up, and we haven't even seen a shadow of anyone else."

Indeed, that was the case. Other than the unfortunate He Bashan, who had foolishly rushed out to his death, no one else was seen.

Fang Yu roughly knew what each person looked like. Even if behind-the-scenes reward distributor Li Chunyan or the Bonfire Gathering's current Alliance Hierarch Yang Chaoyu showed up, Fang Yu would recognize them at a glance, not to mention he could also see their health bars.

It was just that there were too many people and health bars were densely packed, making it less convenient than simply using his eyes.

As soon as Fang Yu mentioned this, everyone perked up their ears, and their movements even slowed down, almost getting themselves hurt.

Luckily, there weren't many strong fighters on the scene, and the general level wasn't very high. The people from Yangshen Hall could still handle it by working together.

But if a real expert arrived and tore open a gap in the defensive formation, they could only watch as Suo Fengxiang or Zhuo Xueer stepped in to act.

After all, anyone capable of breaking through their defense line was likely no easy opponent and beyond their ability to deal with.

"..."

Zhuo Xueer fell silent, hesitant.

But when she looked around at everyone, she ultimately sighed inwardly.

"Fine, we'll retreat while we search."

What did he mean retreat while we search? Once they've retreated, who would still have the mind to search for their objective?

That's how it was supposed to be.

Members of the surrounding teams couldn't help but show a glimmer of joy on their faces.

But as Fang Yu turned his head, intending to continue observing if the two old Monsters, Li Shiquan and Bai Wanxi, were still spectating, he suddenly saw something unbelievable, causing his eyes to bulge.

Standing next to where Li Shiquan and Bai Wanxi were seated, there was a maid serving tea, appearing out of nowhere.

While Fang Yu wasn't familiar with the maid's face, he was fairly familiar with the name above her health bar.

[Li Chunyan: 1000/1000.]

Fang Yu: ...

This guy... how did he end up mixed up with those two old Monsters?

Left Green and Hei Ao, with their solemn oaths, their secretive aura, hiding every trace of their Major Sect that strictly eradicated demons—their disciple was actually mingling with demon chiefs now!

What a mess, Left Green, Hei Ao, had you gone blind? To think I trusted the judgment of these disciples of the Five Great Families so much last night, and now I've been completely slapped in the face!

Fang Yu was exasperated.

That seemingly maid-like Li Chunyan was pouring tea for the two demon heads, Li Shiquan and Bai Wanxi. To claim there was no connection, Fang Yu simply wouldn't believe it.

Dammit, the outside Major Sects were actually colluding with the demon chiefs of Tianyuan Town, what were they playing at, internal strife and external trouble? The Five Great Families were already missing two, and with the Bai Family unclear, counting as half.

With only two and a half of the Five Great Families left, could they possibly stand up against the outside Major Sects? Can Tianyuan Town really withstand this onslaught?

"What's wrong? You look rather pale. Did you get hurt just now?"

A pleasant voice suddenly rang out anxiously next to him.

Fang Yu looked back and realized it was Suo Fengxiang looking at him with concern.

Fang Yu put aside the worries in his heart and showed a toothy smile.

"Senior Sister Suo, I'm fine. I'm just a bit worried about the current situation."

"Don't worry! We'll definitely escape!"

Suo Fengxiang quickly assured with a thump on her chest, also carefully observing Fang Yu's expression as if she feared he would start crying.

Strangely enough, the young man who used to tear up over little things was now resolute and full of tenacity. Faced with the external pressure that even she found a bit overwhelming, he appeared unfazed and as steady as Mount Tai.

What a peculiar, strange little guy...

"Don't get distracted! We're almost to the end of the street! We should be temporarily safe once we break through!"

Zhuo Xueer's voice rang out from the front. Her head was shaking from side to side, scanning everywhere, clearly not giving up yet.

Fang Yu could reveal Li Chunyan's location, but if Zhuo Xueer impetuously rushed over, it would be a death wish.

Moreover, now that Li Chunyan had connected with those two demon chiefs, if Zhuo Xueer went looking for trouble, she'd likely be eliminated by the demons first.

After thinking it through, Fang Yu still suppressed the idea. Such explosive news should be directly relayed to the higher-ups instead or dealt with after getting back.

Just at this moment, several people leading the way ahead suddenly cried out in surprise and joy.

"Breakthrough!"

"The number of people here has clearly decreased!"

"Phew—Escaped from certain death! This mission was extremely dangerous, our merits will definitely soar."

"Look ahead, even more people are hurrying this way."

"It's reinforcements from the Lin Family and the Li Family! Plus some other martial artists, and people from the martial arts schools!"

It seems we've burst into the periphery of the chaotic battle.

As for why more and more people are continuously arriving, naturally, it's because the disturbance here has only just begun.

Fang Yu was clear that this melee had only just started; how long it would last, to what extent, no one could say for sure.

However, given that Li Shiquan and the Monster with Seventy Thousand Blood are both here to oversee the situation, it's likely to not be a small-scale conflict.

With his current strength, he would likely be crushed in such a large scene; better to withdraw for now and await the outcome before gathering information.

In the realm of information gathering, he had an unparalleled advantage indeed.

Turning to glance back at the chaotic battlefield, he searched for Brother Qing's figure but was unable to find him.

Considering his status and skills, he should be fine, so Fang Yu shifted his gaze towards those two old creatures, Li Shiquan and Bai Wanxi.

Li Chunyan, like a maid, slowly backed away with a smile, disappearing behind a line of sight, while watching Li Shiquan's slow hand retraction, she was probably told to withdraw.

Information about the demons eliminating Tianyuan Town's backbone and collusion between the Major Sects and the demons needs to be revealed to the higher-ups of Yangshen Hall.

Otherwise, if the situation continues to deteriorate, his own survival will be greatly limited. In addition, preparations for escape should be made in case of emergencies.

If he really had to flee, the only one Fang Yu couldn't bear to leave was the Green Demon; after all, the others could be attempted to be taken along, like Ding Hui, like his second sister.

But the Green Demon was from the demon faction, he couldn't coax it away.

Ah...headache.

He withdrew his gaze, and Fang Yu, along with the others, paved the way, passing by the reinforcing personnel, heading towards the Foolish Underworld.

The hot potato, Li Xunxue, also needed to be dealt with quickly.

...

Mingyun Tavern, third floor.

"Coming to the tavern but not drinking alcohol, only tea, Shu Bird Demon, you're quite odd."

The frivolous woman sitting opposite Li Shiquan laughed behind her hand, revealing much white skin through the slightest movement in her cool attire.

If there were young men full of vigor here, they'd probably be boiling with excitement and unable to control themselves.

However, sitting opposite her was Li Shiquan, who calmly warned.

"Bai Wanxi, be careful when you're outside, don't call me by my name directly."

But Bai Wanxi didn't seem to care, playfully laughing off.

"Why so serious, even that old guy from the Lin Family was taken out by several of us together, now we have Tianyuan Town's situation completely under our control."

Leaning back, she lifted the tea cup, gulping it down like water, then spat out a couple of times, discarding the tea leaves.

"Disgusting."

Li Shiquan glanced at her.

"If you don't enjoy it, you don't enjoy it; I, on the other hand, quite like this stuff."

Bai Wanxi rolled her eyes, seemingly recalling something, then sat up straight, her natural movements making her voluptuous figure even more noticeable.

Too bad the one opposite her was Li Shiquan, a demon of the same kind.

No matter the appearance, it couldn't arouse the slightest interest from the other party.

"Right, what was that about the maidservant just now? Li Chunyan? Someone from the Absolute Sect? This kind of sect actually connects with us demons? Is that reliable?"

Li Shiquan smiled.

When it came to serious matters, he finally showed a bit of interest in conversing with this woman.
