Before dying, he thought carefully and finally realized who the person before him was.
Yu Mo!
The lone ranger Yu Mo.
A truly renowned Profound Realm cultivator from East Lake.
At this point of realization, his thoughts suddenly stopped, regret unable to prevent the god of death from taking his last breath.
"This!"
Wan Shan saw this scene from afar and was so terrified that he retreated several steps, wanting to flee at once. As he ran, he prayed that soone would hopefully avenge Senior Han and chase after the murderer.
His life had just begun, his father had just arranged for him two concubines, and he didn’t want to die.
Yu Mo saw Wan Shan trying to escape and asked Pingping coldly, "Are you just letting him leave like this?"
Pingping replied casually, "It doesn’t matter, chase him if you want, just a clown anyway."
Wan Shan certainly didn’t hear the conversation between the two. He ran out of the Yang Family Market, still daring not to stop, and ran desperately towards the outskirts of the city.
All he wanted now was to return to the Kao Shan Sect as quickly as possible, whether to stay alive or inform others.
In a word, all he wanted to do now was run quickly.
In the market.
Lu Yue watched this scene, standing there for a long ti without saying a word, with her gaze fixed on the corpse of the middle-aged man in red. Tears began to swirl in her eyes endlessly because Ah Ye’s revenge had been fulfilled.
She was saved too.
She simply couldn’t believe what had happened before her eyes, too dreamy, like standing from hell to heaven in a flash. She had been ready for a fight to the death.
"Thank you, senior, for saving ."
Lu Yue took two steps and knelt before Yu Mo with a thud.
One kowtow!
Two kowtows!
Three kowtows!
Three consecutive loud bangs.
Yu Mo remained unmoved, perhaps because he didn’t care, or perhaps he was accustod to people bowing before him.
He glanced at Pingping then said, "Kid, are you going to continue searching here or go back to Yunlan Mountain?"
Pingping replied, "Let’s wait a while."
Yu Mo glanced at Lu Yue with a bitter smile, then said, "Alright, if you want to thank, thank this kid. He’s now my ’boss’. I’ll wander around, you guys continue chatting."
Yu Mo didn’t help Lu Yue, nor did he take another look at the corpse of the middle-aged man in red. After speaking, he walked to the other end of the market. As he left, the people blocking the market made way for him.
For the people from the Kao Shan Sect, making way was to avoid unnecessary trouble, but for Yu Mo before them, it was a form of deep respect.
Similarly, when they looked at Pingping again, there was an imperceptible light in their eyes. Secretly in their hearts, they thought the rumors of strong individuals joining the Immortal Sect were not unfounded but indeed true.
He had killed a Body Refining Thirteenth Layer Realm cultivator with one punch, such power, even the Sect Leader of Kao Shan Sect would dare not provoke, right?
The Immortal Sect has risen again.
Lu Yue stood up slowly only after Yu Mo left and walked over to Pingping, saying, "Young Sect Leader, thank you for saving my life today. I, Lu Yue, owe you a life-saving debt and will repay it one day."
Pingping replied indifferently, "Lu Yue, we were friends once, so I don’t want to deceive you. If you didn’t have sothing I wanted, I would have stopped them from saving you."
Lu Yue responded, "I understand."
She asked herself honestly, if it were her, she wouldn’t save a friend who had betrayed her either.
Pingping continued, "If you understand, that’s good. Na your price for the item you have, no matter the cost, I’ll buy it."
Lu Yue slowly lifted the cloth bag containing the Wooden Flowing Sand with a rather desolate expression and said, "For this, nearly all my friends are dead, even my last relative Ah Ye is gone. If the Young Sect Leader needs it, I’ll give it to you."
"Then consider this as repaying my life-saving favor, from today we’re even."
Pingping accepted the cloth bag and tucked it directly into his bosom without opening it to glance inside. Then watched Lu Yue rush upstairs quickly, guessing she must be going to collect Ah Ye’s body.
When the Yang Family Self-defense Team arrived, the onlookers began to disperse.
At this mont Yang Zongxian hurriedly arrived, along with Huaikong. When the two appeared, the market suddenly beca bustling. Especially when they saw Huaikong, the crowd gasped even more.
Many here had visited the Hundred Phoenix Pavilion and had been fortunate enough to see Huaikong, the Demon Chef whose dish required 50 gold.
Of course, these were simply Body Refining cultivators slightly stronger than ordinary people, treating Huaikong as a celebrity. Only those who had left Cangwu City or cultivated for a long ti viewed Huaikong as a giant.
Soone with a not-so-high realm but who Kao Shan Sect dared not offend.
The two brought no fewer than a hundred people along, even that A Long was taken away with them. Seeing Pingping safe and sound, Yang Zongxian finally breathed a sigh of relief, lowering the knife in his hand.
Soon after, Lu Yue descended carrying Ah Ye’s body and was surprised to see Pingping and Yang Zongxian standing together, especially gasping upon seeing Huaikong. But then thinking of how Pingping was no longer the sa as before, she was relieved, carrying Ah Ye alone towards the outside of the market.
Pingping watched her departing figure, eventually sighed, and slowly followed.
...
Kao Shan Sect.
Wan Shan returned to the Kao Shan Sect still frightened, and after entering his room, took off the sweat-soaked clothes, then stepped outside towards the Main Hall. He had to find his father imdiately.
The mission to help Extre Realm Mountain acquire Wooden Flowing Sand was intended to build friendship, but now that people from Extre Realm Mountain died in Cangwu City, the future possibility of establishing ties would probably be quite uncertain.
However, upon reaching the Main Hall he didn’t find his father but instead first found Hall Master Hua Liao of the Law Enforcent Hall.
It was then decided first to have Hua Liao gather people to retrieve Wooden Flowing Sand, perhaps the situation could still be redied.
"Uncle Hua, could you send your Shadow Squad to help kill soone and retrieve what they have?"
"What’s wrong?" Hua Liao asked.
"Father assigned a task, I failed, and now that item ended up with a disciple nad Lu Yue. I chased after but was thwarted by Pingping’s people who saved her, now that Lu Yue should still be at the Yang Family’s market."
"Pingping?"
"Yes, it was him that caused to fail. Let Shadow follow her, act after Pingping leaves Lu Yue, and seize the item. That item is crucial for my father and for the whole Kao Shan Sect."
Hua Liao didn’t agree because the Shadow Squad was currently on another mission, so he could only ask, "What item?"
"An item desired by the Extre Realm Mountain."
"Understood."
Originally thinking of refusing Wan Shan’s request, upon hearing that the item was wanted by Extre Realm Mountain, he could only agree.
"Wait until tonight, the Shadow Squad is currently on a mission, and when they return tonight, I’ll discuss this matter with them. Since Extre Realm Mountain requires it, I, Hua Liao, will definitely handle it for you."
"Thank you, Uncle Hua!" Wan Shan was overjoyed, his mood gradually brightening, then asked, "Uncle Hua, isn’t the Shadow Squad usually active at night? What day mission are they on?"
