Just as the master and disciple were boarding the mountain beast, two pairs of eyes quietly followed them from behind.

“How are they?” a tall figure asked.

“These two seem to be…,” a short and thin figure answered, “The man has a cultivation level in the later stage of the Divine Realm, and the woman… hiss…”

As he spoke, he took a sharp breath.

“What’s wrong?” the tall figure asked anxiously.

“She has a big chest,” the short and thin figure exclaimed in surprise.

His eyes gradually dissipated the true energy that had surrounded them. It seemed like he had used some kind of divine ability that allowed him to observe others without being noticed. Otherwise, casually observing others would likely be detected by experts.

Smack!

The tall figure slapped him on the back of his head. “I told you to observe their skills, not their figures!”

“Ouch!” the short and thin figure cried out in pain. “I couldn’t sense the woman’s aura. She might be a mortal… or a warrior… or even a powerful expert in the Dao Realm.”

“Nonsense!” the tall figure scolded. “Would a seventh realm expert ride a Basalt Coin mountain beast? Look at that boy, he’s clearly a newcomer to the city, probably a poor guy. Would someone around a powerful expert be so poor and shabby?”

“Ah, yes, yes…” the short and thin figure dared not argue.

“There aren’t many suitable opportunities today. Keep a close eye on them and seize the chance without hesitation,” the tall figure said fiercely.

“Yes, yes…” the short and thin figure continued nodding.

Wherever there are human hearts, there will inevitably be darkness. In a place as large as Glutton City, there are bound to be crimes. Thieves who specifically target cultivators who have just entered the city are not uncommon. Especially those who have exchanged a large amount of spirit stones upon entering the city, they are their targets.

The short and thin figure opened his eyes again and suddenly said, “Boss, have they separated?”

“Hmm? Then take action!” the tall figure urged eagerly. “I’m almost able to gather enough resources for a Foundation Establishment, and I’m relying on him!”

…

As Di Nvfeng’s anger seemed to be reaching its peak, Chu Liang was very hesitant. He didn’t know whether he should try to persuade her or keep his distance to avoid being affected later.

Just then, the mountain beast stopped at a passenger drop-off point.

Chu Liang glanced at the street and happened to see a Glutton Tower. He immediately said, “Master, I’ll go to the Glutton Tower to get something. You go ahead, and I’ll join you later at the First-Rank Sword Pavilion.”

Before the words had finished, he quickly jumped off the mountain beast, afraid that Di Nvfeng would erupt like a volcano at any moment.

Inside the Glutton Tower on the street, the environment was quiet, and the people coming and going were very cautious. Most of them wore black robes and covered their faces. It was not surprising that people here either carried a lot of money or possessed treasures. Chu Liang would have to wear a robe made of concealment silk if he came to a place like this again.

This time, he came to get the concealment silk materials.

That’s right, Wen Yulong had said that the seller in Glutton City would send them over, but not long after, Chu Liang received a message from his master asking him to come to Glutton City. He quickly went to inform Wen Yulong that there was no need to send them, and he would come to collect them himself. After all, the transportation fee charged by Glutton Tower was quite high.

Save money whenever possible.

The seller had already stored the goods in the Glutton Tower and agreed on the price. As long as Chu Liang handed over enough Rosefinch Coins, the people at the Glutton Tower would verify it and hand over the goods to him. Later, when the seller came, he could collect his Rosefinch Coins.

With the reputation of the Glutton Tower, both the buyer and the seller could complete a safe transaction without contact, avoiding the possibility of being cheated.

The process went smoothly.

Chu Liang handed over seven hundred Rosefinch Coins to the people at the Glutton Tower. After a while, someone delivered a box to him. When he opened it, it contained a large piece of concealment silk that he had purchased.

The price of the item was six hundred and fifty Rosefinch Coins, and the extra fifty was the Glutton Tower’s commission, which was quite expensive. If it had been transported to Shu Mountain’s Glutton Tower, there would have been an additional fifty. That’s why Chu Liang chose to come and collect it himself.

He put away the concealment silk and was about to leave when the steward of the Glutton Tower asked, “For an additional fifty Rosefinch Coins, you can purchase a storage magic tool. Would this young hero like to add one?”

They really… targeted the customer’s needs.

Chu Liang took a look at the recommended storage bracelet. It was a bit rough and had limited space, but it was enough to hold ordinary items.

Normally, it would cost sixty or seventy, just a little more expensive than this additional price…

“Give me one,” Chu Liang replied.

Although the White Tower could also store items, it could only store and retrieve items that were taken out from the White Tower. Items like the Dark Sea Golden Lotus and the concealment silk couldn’t be stored there, so he really needed an additional storage magic tool.

After putting on the storage bracelet, Chu Liang left the shop. He couldn’t help but think that it would be very difficult to leave the store unscathed.

…

As he walked forward, a short and thin young man with his head down walked towards him and accidentally bumped into his shoulder.

“Sorry,” the young man quickly apologized in a low voice and hurried away.

Chu Liang frowned, cautiously sensing that something was wrong. He checked his body and found nothing missing. When he scanned the storage bracelet with his spiritual sense, he realized that the box of concealment silk had disappeared!The advantage of storage artifacts is not only convenience but also security. Could someone actually steal something from it?

Chu Liang was slightly surprised. When he turned to look at the young man’s retreating figure, he found that he had already turned into a nearby alley.

He had been robbed.

Encountering a thief in such a place, Chu Liang was not too surprised and immediately chased after him. The young man was fast, but Chu Liang, using the Reversal Technique taught by Yun Zhaoxian, was incredibly agile and caught up in an instant.

After chasing into the alley for a short distance and turning a corner, he saw the young man standing at the end of the alley.

There were three figures there.

A tall young man, with a fierce appearance and a scar on his left cheek. Judging by his aura, he was at the peak of the Divine Intent Realm, slightly higher than Chu Liang.

A short, fat young man, somewhat round, but muscular, like a warrior.

The third was a short, thin young man. His eyes were shifty, seemingly a bit flustered. Judging by his aura, he was in the early stage of the Divine Intent Realm, not very stable.

Chu Liang glanced at them, quickly assessing their cultivation levels, then smiled.

“Brother, this is the territory of our Wind Fire Gang. What are you doing here?” The tall young man asked with a hostile face, crossing his arms.

“It seems he took something of mine. I followed him to check.” Chu Liang replied amiably, glancing at the short, thin young man.

“Huh, what are you talking about?” The tall young man snorted coldly, “You’re accusing my brother of stealing your stuff. Do you have any evidence?”

“I’ll call the law enforcement team. The item I just bought, if it’s found on him, there will definitely be a record in the Glutton Pavilion.” Chu Liang turned to leave.

“Stop!” The tall young man shouted.

The short, thin and short, fat young men sprang out together, blocking Chu Liang’s way.

“You’d better know what’s good for you.” The tall young man showed a fierce look, “You’re in the third realm, and all three of us are in the third realm. Let me tell you, we brothers have killed quite a few in Glutton City…”

“Take this!”

Chu Liang suddenly shouted, raising his hand towards the tall young man, releasing a half-moon shaped green light!

In a situation of being outnumbered, he needed to seize the opportunity to quickly eliminate one of the opponents. The fastest and most suitable for a surprise attack was the Flying Leaf Quick Blade!

A surprise attack?

The tall young man dodged, releasing his true energy to protect his body at the same time.

But…

After a moment, it seemed that nothing had happened.

“Hahaha…” The tall young man laughed in anger, “What are you trying to pull? Trying to scare people?”

Seeing the big brother laughing, the short, fat young man also started to laugh: “Haha, he probably doesn’t know about big brother’s notorious reputation.”

The short, thin young man also squeezed out a smile in agreement.

Chu Liang turned his head, staring at the short, fat young man’s face, suddenly showing a puzzled look.

Huh?

The short, fat young man felt a chill down his spine under Chu Liang’s strange gaze, and stammered: “Everyone… is laughing, why are you staring at me?”

“I’m just curious how you can still laugh…” Chu Liang looked at him and asked seriously: “Aren’t you in pain?”
