Li Chonglou did not kill him.
Although this person was also sent to assassinate him, Li Chonglou found him useful.
He had extracted a lot of information from the black-robed man, including the number of people who accepted the mission.
It turned out to be fifty-seven people!
And these were not just fifty-seven ordinary assassins. Every member of the Black Net who accepted the mission was at least a member of the third realm!
The realm was one aspect, but their strength was also incomparable to ordinary cultivators of the same realm.
Combat power, at the same realm, depended on experience and skill, which was also related to one's upbringing.
In peaceful or relatively peaceful countries, combat experience was more about training. However, members of the Black Net faced life-or-death battles in almost every mission!
Even with the same cultivation technique and the same realm, these international assassins who accepted the mission to assassinate him could instantly kill the so-called family scions in his own country.
In short, they were troublesome.
At this point, someone needed to help publicize his abilities.
Li Chonglou was not afraid of them.
He just didn't want some insignificant individuals to cause trouble because his intelligence only indicated he possessed the strength of an ordinary fifth-level cultivator.
However, even if he didn't kill them, they still deserved a lesson.
Li Chonglou stripped off the black-robed man's clothes, leaving him with only his underpants, and then struck a pose that he thought was quite decent.
"No, what if someone else encounters him? Wouldn't that be a free gift?"
Li Chonglou changed his mind, found a hidden spot, and buried the man in the ground, leaving only his face exposed.
After carefully covering it with a layer of sand, Li Chonglou patted his long robe and turned to leave.
After discarding the moon ray, the communication stone also went silent.
Li Chonglou arrived at a deserted place and took it out.
The communication stone was not just for one-way communication; he could also use it to send information back.
It wasn't difficult; he just needed to tap on it with his finger.
However, after Li Chonglou sent the information back, there was no response for a long time.
"What's going on?"
Scratching his head, Li Chonglou's face was filled with confusion.
At the same time, on the edge of the Thunder Magnetic Island.
On that ship.
"He discovered him?"
The owner of the Black Net was somewhat angry.
He was just a chess piece; shouldn't he have followed his plan obediently? Why was he causing trouble for others?
However, since the matter had already happened, his anger was useless.
"Issue a command to seal the island! At the same time, spread the news and order all of them to head to the forbidden area of Thunder Magnetic Island!"
"Understood!"
Before long, Li Chonglou, who was still hiding under a thunder-withered tree, finally felt a vibration from his chest.
However, it wasn't the communication stone given by the old village chief, but the satellite phone he had seized from the black-robed man.
In this world, as long as it wasn't a place underground, like the underworld or underground mines, satellite phones were the best communication tools.
They could maintain stable contact even during thunderstorms.
At this moment, a temporary notice from the Black Net popped up on it.
Li Chonglou had forced the phone's password to be removed, so he easily opened it to check the specific content.
"The ancient inheritance of Thunder Magnetic Island has appeared. Whoever obtains the Divine Thunder Source and submits it will become a permanent honorary elder of the Black Net, sharing all resources of the Black Net, and enjoying top-tier welfare benefits."
The message was followed by a long string of welfare descriptions, which even made Li Chonglou very tempted.
This was a massive organization with a history of hundreds of years on the international stage. Even if it was a criminal organization, the resources and intelligence it controlled were likely among the top in the world!
If he could possess it, wouldn't many things be easily resolved?
However, this also meant that the Divine Thunder Source was even more valuable, didn't it?
There were no businessmen in this world willing to do business at a loss. If the owner of the Black Net could offer such terms, it could only mean that after paying, he would only get the Divine Thunder Source and still make a profit!
Thinking of this, Li Chonglou's curiosity was piqued.
Furthermore, at the end of the intelligence, the location of the forbidden area of Thunder Magnetic Island was also provided.
"Should I go and see for myself, just to join the fun?"
Stroking his chin, Li Chonglou was a little hesitant.
He still had a mission to complete, and he was worried that other special situations might arise. If it were a place like the Lost Land, it would be troublesome.
The words "forbidden area" were inherently unusual.
However, at that moment, the communication stone in his embrace finally reacted.
"Return to the original location?"
The old village chief seemed to be in a hurry, sending three messages in a row.
Li Chonglou replied with an "Okay" before rushing back to where he had come out initially.
He had no choice. He was still under someone else's control. Even with doubts, he could only return and ask.
Before long, he was back in the cave from which he had emerged not long ago.
"Where did you come from?"
Two men in animal skins held long spears, their expressions tense. They did not answer Li Chonglou's question.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou could only sigh, "Don't worry, I won't mess around. You want to tie me up and blindfold me to go in, right? Come on."
Li Chonglou raised his hands voluntarily.
The two men in animal skins relaxed considerably.
"Brother Li, thank you for your cooperation."
Although these two were not the original ones, they somehow knew his name.
Li Chonglou nodded, and then his hands and feet were bound with special materials, and he lay down on a stretcher.
It wasn't until he returned to the cave where he had been temporarily held again.
The old village chief was waiting for him inside. When he saw him again, the anxious look on his face seemed even more pronounced.
"What happened?"
Li Chonglou frowned.
The old village chief said hastily, "Brother Li, do you have any other way to attract those people over? They are all heading towards our forbidden area now!"
This guy, as expected, knew that I was attacked earlier!
"I'm sorry, I can't help with that."
Li Chonglou shook his head, but he didn't mention anything about the Black Net.
Although these islanders were pure in nature, people were still people; they would consider their own interests. It was best to interact with them cautiously and not trust them completely.
As expected, the old village chief's expression changed the next moment.
"Li Chonglou, you promised me you would help stop them from going to the forbidden area. If you can't do it now, I can only revoke what I said before!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several men in animal skins beside him raised their long spears and aimed them all at Li Chonglou.
Li Chonglou sneered coldly, "Old village chief, I originally thought you were still one of the few good people in this world, and I wanted to help. But now it seems I was overthinking."
The old village chief's expression froze.
He replied with a hint of gloom, "In this era, those who are purely kind have long since died."
"Long since died," not "died early," there was a difference between the two.
Li Chonglou, however, just stared at him coldly.
