On the bustling street...
Luo Chen and his two bodyguards halted their steps.
Standing in front of them was a somewhat nervous cultivator.
“I recognize you, you are Duan Sanfu, am I right?
Looking at a familiar face, Luo Chen remembered his name, one of the two cultivators who had obstructed his booth at the Rogue Cultivator’s market.
If he remembered correctly, the other person should still be detained in the
Red Pillar Prison.
Uncertain if he were dead or not.
Duan Sanfu pointed to the tavern next to him, “My second brother has invited
you!”
“Gao Tingyuan?”
Not waiting for the response, Luo Chen suddenly grinned, “Very well, lead the way!”
He boldly entered the building without fear.
The Qingjiang Tavern was a tavern set up by the Great Lake Gang near the
Lancang Wharf.
Many cultivators who had finished their business would come here to eat, drink, or even live.
On the first floor, it was crowded and noisy, with many cultivators eating and drinking, spending Spirit Stones they earned from the Great Lake Gang.
On the second floor, it was deadly silent at the moment.
Until, Luo Chen ascended!
Five late-stage Qi refinement cultivators stood up, with the two in the lead at the ninth level of Qi refinement!
Luo Chen’s pupils contracted, but he didn’t stop. He walked directly up to the short man opposite him.
“Luo Chen, Pill Hall master of the Broken Mountain Gang, am I right?1‘
“Brother Gao Er is quite well-informed, our pill hall has not yet produced a
single pill.”
“Sit!”
“Please!”
The two sat facing each other while another Ninth Level Qi Refinement cultivator in a blue robe leaned casually on the railing, staring boredly at the busy street below.
Zhou Yuanli and Liu Qiang, the two bodyguards, were on high alert as if facing
a formidable enemy.
Gao Tingyuan, also known as Jiang Dragon...
The number one expert under Gang Leader Wang Haichao of the Great Lake
Gang.
He also had a marvelous record of personally slaying Broken Blade Xu Renke
on the Dao Debate Platform.
If the people on the opposite side suddenly attacked, even if the two brothers had combined techniques, they probably couldn’t ensure Luo Chen’s safety.
Suddenly, the cultivator in blue by the railing chuckled.
“Wang Yuan is watching from afar.”
“Of course he is watching, after all, this is his little brother.
Gao Tingyuan sneered, then stared at Luo Chen with piercing eyes.
Just staring, saying nothing!
Luo Chen’s eyebrows slowly furrowed, then he slowly shook his head.
“Please, state your business directly. Such a posture is hardly a way to treat
guests.”
Gao Tingyuan raised his eyebrows, seemingly a bit surprised.
Then he slowly articulated, “You should understand. You are not here as a
guest.”
Especially the languid blue-robed cultivator seemed quite disturbed.
“Kid, be more polite, the one sitting across from you is the number two figure of the Great Lake Gang.”
“So? I am the master of the Broken Mountain Gang’s Pill Hall!” Luo Chen glared back in response.
“Enough!”
Gao Tingyuan’s face was gloomy, and he let out a low growl.
At this moment, his mind was in turmoil.
Subconsciously, he didn’t believe his younger brother had died at the hands of a Third Level Qi Refinement Stage cultivator.
But they had inspected it over and over without finding any clues.
The only clue was Luo Chen.
He initially thought that he could make the opponent speak the truth with the Divine Intimidation Technique.
Even if Luo Chen wasn’t the culprit, he might give some other clues.
But it seemed like the other party really had nothing to do with it and even dared to resolutely demand compensation.
Could it really have nothing to do with him?
“Tsk tsk, quite an imposing manner!”
Luo Chen laughed with a strange undertone of sarcasm.
“Old Mi never spoke to me like that, but you’re more capable than him. Fine, these five spirit stones, you probably can’t afford to hand out.”
“I won’t be keeping you company either, goodbye!”
Having said that, he turned around to leave.
At the staircase, three Late-stage Cultivators blocked the way.
Liu Qiang and Zhou Yuanli stepped forward, ready to start a fight at the slightest disagreement.
Without even turning his head, Luo Chen coldly said, “You invited me up here, you wouldn’t want Mi Shuhua to have to escort me out.”
“Let him leave!”
Upon hearing Gao Tingyuan’s words, the three cultivators stepped aside, visibly unhappy.
Luo Chen flicked his sleeve and walked down the stairs, leaving behind a final remark,
“Don’t forget about the five Spirit Stones, Brother Gao Er!
After he left, the second floor once again returned to silence.
After a while, the blue-robed cultivator let out a sigh.
“Brother, it is likely that we need to pin this on those rogue cultivators who frequent Xiao Yue Mountain Range.”
“So you also believe it has nothing to do with this kid?”
“If it was, he wouldn’t display such audacity.
“But for a Fifth Level Qi Refinement cultivator to be so audacious in front of me, doesn’t that make it more suspicious?”
“He was even less polite to Sikong Shoujia. It’s said that Mi Shuhua was even tricked out of two magic tools by him during a sect meeting.
Gao Tingyuan rubbed his forehead and walked over to the railing. There had never been a moment where he felt as tired as he did now.
His younger brother is dead, his dantian was damaged, his path to Foundation Establishment was cut off, and now he couldn’t even find his enemy to exact his revenge.
The blue-robed cultivator shook his head, “In my view, let’s put aside Tingye’s matter for now! There are more and more strangers in the gang recently. They have taken over several big ships and sooner or later they will invade our interests.”
Gao Tingyuan remained silent.
He knew all of this was condoned by Wang Haichao.
During the battle at the Dao Debate Platform, he was undoubtedly plotted against by the other party, even his puppet substitute was destroyed.
“We can’t let it go, we must continue the investigation!”
He hit the railing heavily, his face harsh.
The blue-robed cultivator sighed, his expression somewhat gloomy.
“Master, you were truly awe-inspiring just now!”
Liu Qiang’s eyes sparkled and the word ‘master’ rolled off his tongue much more smoothly now.
Luo Chen tugged at the corner of his mouth and spat at the street corner.
Zhou Yuanli sniffed his nose, was that alcohol?
The drink that Luo Chen had sipped upstairs.
Luo Chen wiped the corner of his mouth, looking at the two with bright eyes.
“Impressive, aren’t I?”
“If you follow me in the future, you can be just as impressive!”
