But being entangled by Lu Changsheng like this, she felt an indescribable sense of fulfillnt pounding in her heart.
At this mont, around the cave-dwelling area, nurous cultivators were watching the vortex of nature’s spiritual energy in the sky.
In large marketplaces and Immortal Cities, there are usually one or two people who attempt Foundation Establishnt every year, so it’s nothing out of the ordinary for everyone.
But in Red Leaf Valley Market, Foundation Establishnt is a rare event. Since it was the first ti, naturally many people ca to watch.
So also wanted to see if this person could succeed in their attempt.
If they did succeed, then to congratulate them and beco acquainted could be beneficial; perhaps in a good mood, the successful cultivator might even bestow so rewards on them.
"The condensation of the gel has already begun, in another three days, it will be a good ti to take action,” soone said.
Within the crowd, a tall and burly middle-aged man and a slender woman in a blue robe glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and then walked away.
…
Three days later.
That night.
After the hustle and bustle of the dayti, the Red Leaf Valley Market fell into peace during the late hours.
Apart from the Law Enforcent Cultivators patrolling the airspace above the streets, only a few shops and inns still had their lights on.
After all, cultivators need to rest too.
Most cultivators would sleep at night, or ditate and practice cultivation.
"Creak—”
Inside an inn, three figures wearing grey vestnt robes and bamboo hats walked out of their room.
They looked at each other and nodded, then quickly made their way to the first floor.
"Where are the spirit stones of the shop?” the lead burly man asked the shopkeeper, who was keeping vigil at the counter, in a deep voice.
"Spirit stones, what spirit stones?” the shopkeeper asked, baffled and slow to react.
But the next mont, a White Bone Crossbow Bolt, accompanied by a terrifying aura, locked onto him. He jolted in shock, as a chilling fear ran down his spine, instantly realizing what was happening.
Robber Cultivator!
The man before his eyes was a Robber Cultivator, a Foundation Establishnt Robber Cultivator!
"Senior, all the spirit stones are here, they’re all here,” said the shopkeeper, his legs trembling uncontrollably as he quickly took out a Storage Bag, his face rigidly smiling as he begged for rcy.
Knowing the other party was a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator and still dared to rob so boldly, he didn’t dare to resist even the slightest bit.
He understood that the slightest dissatisfaction could cost him his life.
"Is there more?” the burly man asked hoarsely after scanning the Storage Bag.
Choosing to start from this inn was also the result of careful observation and planning; this inn did very good business.
"Senior, our inn settles accounts with spirit stones weekly, and the owner cos every week to clear the accounts. All the spirit stones are indeed here,” explained the shopkeeper with a mournful face.
After speaking, sowhat painfully, he pulled out his own Storage Bag and said, “Senior, these are my own savings. If the senior fancies them, please take them, I only ask that—”
But before he could finish, a small White Bone Arrow shot out.
"Pfft!”
"Hehehe—”
The arrow pierced through the shopkeeper’s head, making his eyes bulge with indignation as he died, unable to utter the words he wanted to say.
He then fell to the ground with a ‘thump,’ his body rapidly drained of blood by the White Bone Arrow, leaving a dried-up corpse.
"The agreed-upon ti is almost upon us. You go first to interfere with the Great Formation; I’ll handle matters here,” the burly man said to the grey-robed female cultivator and the young man in grey beside him.
"Dad, be careful,” the grey-robed young man said with concern.
"Stop dawdling,” the burly man replied impatiently, waving his hand dismissively.
Thereupon, the grey-robed woman quickly left, pulling the young man with her.
"Green Wolf,” the burly man patted his Spiritual Pet Bag.
A Green Wolf, one zhang tall, with dark green fur, gloomy eyes, and ferocious fangs, appeared at his side.
After the Green Wolf appeared, it opened its huge mouth and devoured the shopkeeper’s dried-up corpse.
It then went to the entrance of the inn, its eyes gleaming with a predatory light.
The burly man then took out a child-sized black gourd.
"Go!” he commanded, unsealing the gourd with hand seals.
Black flas, like Fire Serpents, rolled out of the mouth of the gourd.
Instantly, the inn was engulfed in flas, with thick black smoke billowing towards the sky.
Amidst the roaring black flas and the spreading smoke, cries of pain and screams began to rise from within the inn.
"What’s going on here?”
"It’s on fire!”
"No, this isn’t just a fire, this is evil flas with poison fire!”
So cultivators inside the inn, realizing the danger, imdiately fled through windows or by flying on artifacts.
But the burly man, along with a Green Giant Wolf, holding the black gourd in one hand and a White Bone Crossbow Bolt in the other, lay in ambush outside the inn.
Anyone who escaped from the inn was imdiately targeted by him; a White Bone Arrow shot out swiftly, killing the person and snatching their Storage Bag with practiced ease.
"Audacious Robber Cultivator, daring to cause chaos in the marketplace!”
Soon, the Red Leaf Valley Market’s patrol Enforcent Team, upon noticing the situation and the rising black smoke, quickly arrived on the scene.
"Pfft!”
However, the burly man showed no fear facing this group of Law Enforcent Cultivators.
A White Bone Crossbow Bolt was released from his hand, instantly killing a Law Cultivator who was at the Energy Refinent Late Stage.
"Not good! It’s a Foundation Establishnt Great Cultivator!”
"Quick, notify the ancestor!” the other Law Enforcent Cultivators exclaid in shock as they took out their Transmission Jade Tokens.
At the sa ti, they activated a formation artifact, hoping to harness the power of the Marketplace’s Great Formation to resist the burly man.
But the burly man was prepared.
His expression was calm and indifferent beneath his bamboo hat as he perford hand seals, causing grey light pillars to surge from the ground.
They caused the black smoke, still billowing from the burning inn, to rapidly roll towards the Law Enforcent Cultivators, like dark clouds descending.
To prevent escapees or reinforcents, he had laid a trap ahead of ti.
As the black smoke enveloped the Law Enforcent Cultivators, they felt the fire poison spreading through their bodies, stiffening their movents and slowing down their spiritual power.
