Lu Ming arrived at the exchange counter.
His target was clear: the Nine Turn Alchemy Furnace.
Based on the appearance recorded in the jade slip, Lu Ming located Old Ghost Jiang, who was currently in the middle of exchanging for the Nine Turn Alchemy Furnace.
At this moment, Old Ghost Jiang was accompanied by several other Dingyuan Sect cultivators. Every single one of them wore a massive black robe and a mask.
Looking at their outfits, Lu Ming couldn't help but curl his lips.
If an enemy dressed in a large black robe and wore a similar mask to blend in, they wouldn't even be able to tell if the person was one of their own.
He looked down at his own large black robe and nodded in satisfaction.
He watched as Old Ghost Jiang stuffed the storage bag containing the Nine Turn Alchemy Furnace into his robes.
Lu Ming frowned slightly. This was going to be tricky. It seemed he would have to wait for an opportunity.
He saw the Dingyuan Sect cultivators heading out.
Draped in his cloak of invisibility, Lu Ming quickly followed them.
Once outside the Blood Fiend Tower, the people from the Dingyuan Sect clearly realized something was wrong.
After all, they had also purchased a copy of the buyer information.
They knew that at this very moment, they were targets for others.
Thus, the moment they stepped out of the Blood Fiend Tower, one of them immediately drew a weapon.
At the same time, another person pulled out a token and hung it from his waist.
Lu Ming took a look. Holy crap, a buy-ten-get-three-free discount token.
It was clearly a level higher than his own buy-five-get-one-free token.
Immediately after, Old Ghost Jiang and his group rushed toward the direction of Black Fiend City's teleportation array.
Lu Ming knew that as long as they reached the vicinity of the teleportation array, they would be safe.
Because near the teleportation array, no one was allowed to fight.
However, it was obvious that many people did not want them to return safely.
Boom! Boom!
Just as they reached an open area, several black-robed cultivators appeared right in front of Old Ghost Jiang's group.
The leader brandished the ghost-headed broadsword in his hand: “Hehehe... I advise you to hand over the Nine Turn Alchemy Furnace.”
“If you have the life to spare, come and take it!”
Old Ghost Jiang replied, his voice dripping with murderous intent.
Seeing this, Lu Ming was a bit puzzled. Why were they chatting instead of just fighting immediately?
Then, at that moment, a scene that left everyone dumbfounded unfolded.
He saw the Black Fiend City guards appear nearby, holding up a massive sign that read: “There are ten thousand rules, but sanity is number one. Fighting is fun for a moment, but you'll lose everything to pay for it.”
This scene made Lu Ming's lips twitch, leaving him utterly speechless.
Everyone knew this; there was no need for a reminder.
After all, if these Soul Transformation big shots actually started fighting in earnest, a single ultimate move could blast Black Fiend City to smithereens.
If not for this rule, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him wouldn't dare come out to try and reap the benefits.
Even with his cloak of invisibility, if he got caught in the crossfire of one of these Soul Transformation experts' massive moves, he would die without anyone ever knowing.
With a loud boom, the restriction formation of Black Fiend City was activated.
Clearly, the City Lord of Black Fiend City also knew that today would not be peaceful.
“Go!”
Seeing that the restriction formation was active, the leader of the ambushers brandished his broadsword and shouted.
“Kill! Kill!”
The crowd rushed forward, weapons raised.
“Hah! Yah!”
Thud! Slap!
It was truly fist-to-flesh combat. You throw a punch, I throw a slap. You slash me with a sword, I bash you with a staff.
Watching this, Lu Ming swallowed hard.
Sigh... It's really not easy to witness pure, unadulterated physical brawling in the cultivation world!
However, his gaze remained fixed on Old Ghost Jiang and his surroundings.
He was waiting to see if he could find an opportunity.
When Ye Fan saw the people from the Dingyuan Sect leave the Blood Fiend Tower, he first sent Huang Tianbao back.
As a Qi Refining cultivator, Huang Tianbao wouldn't be of any help anyway.
Although spells couldn't be used, the opponents were either at the Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation stage.
Their physical bodies were far stronger than his.
He didn't want the guy to get crushed to death before the fight even ended.
“Junior Sister, you should go back too. What I'm about to do next is very dangerous...”
After watching Huang Tianbao leave, Ye Fan turned and said to Hei Lingyue.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I'm not afraid of danger. I can help you...”
Hearing Hei Lingyue's words, Ye Fan nodded.
Subsequently, the two of them also put on black robes and masks similar to those of the Dingyuan Sect, then chased after them.
By the time they caught up, they happened to see the Dingyuan Sect cultivators being intercepted.
At first, Ye Fan was in no hurry to make a move.
He waited until he saw that everyone was nearly exhausted before charging in with Hei Lingyue.
His target was clear: Old Ghost Jiang.
While inside the Blood Fiend Tower, he had paid special attention to him.
Meanwhile, Lu Ming's eyes never left Old Ghost Jiang.
At this moment, he saw the old man being besieged by three people.
Although Old Ghost Jiang was an alchemist, his martial prowess was not lacking at all.
At least, that was what Lu Ming thought.
Because he saw Old Ghost Jiang swinging an alchemy furnace around with formidable power.
He swung it so fiercely that the three surrounding attackers couldn't find an opening to strike.
Under circumstances where spiritual energy couldn't be used, it was clearly a case of “an inch longer, an inch stronger,” and “an inch larger, an inch more dominant.”
Just then, Lu Ming's eyes narrowed. He noticed two figures moving very nimbly near Old Ghost Jiang.
Lu Ming felt that something was about to happen.
He quickly and carefully dodged the shockwaves of the battle, edging closer while keeping his eyes glued to the two.
Suddenly, he saw one of the figures swiftly approach Old Ghost Jiang.
Whoosh!
Slap!
Lu Ming's vision blurred. Before he could even register what had happened, he saw that one of the black-robed figures was already holding a storage bag in his hand.
And the other black-robed figure's hand had already clamped down on the wrist of the one holding the storage bag.
My goodness... I'm still way too slow!
If not for one of them getting caught, he would have watched the storage bag get stolen without even realizing it.
At this moment, Hu Laitou of the Thousand Hands Sect was also extremely frustrated.
He had risked his life to finally steal the storage bag from a powerhouse.
And now, this kid had actually intercepted him.
Ye Fan was also surprised. If he hadn't acted a split second faster, this kid would have succeeded.
The moment he grabbed the other's hand, Ye Fan quickly reached out with his other hand to snatch the storage bag.
Hu Laitou hastily moved to block. With a sharp crack, he successfully blocked it.
However, cold sweat broke out on Hu Laitou's forehead.
The hand he had used to block had actually been injured by the impact.
It felt like the bones inside were broken.
Seeing that he had resolved the threat, Ye Fan swiftly reached out to snatch the storage bag from Hu Laitou's other hand.
Whoosh!
Just as his hand was about to grab the storage bag, the bag in front of him suddenly vanished.
What was going on?
Yet at that moment, there was still another storage bag in Hu Laitou's hand.
Ye Fan froze. Had his eyes played tricks on him just now?
Or had this thief pulled some kind of trick?
Thud!
At this point, Hu Laitou was also furious. “You've already fucking snatched a storage bag, so why are you still holding onto me?”
He immediately kicked out at Ye Fan. Without time to think, Ye Fan grabbed the remaining storage bag and ran.
Because the others, who had been fighting to the death, had already noticed the situation over here.
Especially the few besieging Old Ghost Jiang. Damn it, we're here beating each other to a pulp, and you guys are swooping in to reap the benefits...
Old Ghost Jiang's face was also incredibly grim. He reached into his robes, and indeed, his storage bag was gone.
Immediately, several people gave chase to Ye Fan, who was making a swift escape.
