Chapter 75: "A Blessing in Disguise, A Blessing in Disguise!"

Chapter 75: "A Blessing in Disguise, A Blessing in Disguise!"

A familiar voice sounded behind him, and Chen Qiu almost immediately turned around. There stood the emotionless old man, holding the tattered black flag, looking towards the chaotic scene of Ask Heaven Market.

It was none other than the fortune-telling old Taoist who had warned him about the excessive malevolent spirits.

"Did you know about the disaster at Ask Heaven Market?"

The scholar, sitting cross-legged on the burly man's shoulder, asked curiously, "Then why didn't you inform everyone beforehand? That way, they wouldn't have died here, and fewer people in Fufeng City would have perished."

"How should I put it?"

The silver-haired old man glanced at the scholar and replied casually, "Even if the people at Ask Heaven Market and Fufeng City had heeded the warning and fled, the Demon Clan invasion would have just occurred elsewhere."

"To save one fish, you let another die."

"That's not considered a good deed."

"Don't preach to me. I have my own path to follow. In my life, I hate nothing more than people who remain silent when they could have prevented a disaster."

"The reason I took on some karma and warned this little fellow was merely because I found him agreeable."

"It's a pity he doesn't heed advice."

The old man shook his head and waved the black flag in his hand, then turned to gaze into the distance, muttering, "Chaos is approaching; who can remain an outsider forever?"

"Even the Heaven Avoiding Sect has shown signs of activity in this world."

"Who can remain hidden?"

"Right, kid, you're quite receptive to advice. The malevolent spirits of the demonic beasts on your body are gone, but you've gained a bunch of malevolent spirits from Demon Clan cultivators. That's good; you should consider it carefully."

After saying this, the old man slowly took a step forward, and his entire body vanished like a cloud of smoke.

From beginning to end, not a trace of spiritual energy was detected from the old man, making it impossible to discern his cultivation level.

".

Chen Qiu stared expressionlessly in the direction where the old man had disappeared, saying nothing. The last time he met this old man, he knew he had encountered a formidable figure. It was not easy for ordinary people to point out the fact that he had an excessive accumulation of malevolent spirits.

Now, upon seeing it with his own eyes, he was indeed correct.

However, it also reminded him of something. The malevolent spirits of the Demon Clan cultivators on his body indeed needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. But since they were a considerable force, he was reluctant to waste them for no reason.

If, by nightfall, there was still no opportunity to use them, he would not hesitate to dispose of them immediately. It would be a loss to let himself be affected by the vengeful qi just for a bit of additional power.

Just then—

A powerful Golden Core pressure suddenly enveloped the entire Ask Heaven Market. A middle-aged barefoot man appeared, floating in the air above the market, and the spiritual energy waves emanating from his body carried a terrifying might that surged towards Chen Qiu and the others like a tidal wave.

In an instant,

Such overwhelming might caused Chen Qiu and the others to uncontrollably fall to the ground.

"It's the Barefoot Immortal!"

The scholar, whose body was pressed to the ground, couldn't help but exclaim hoarsely, "It's the Market Master of Ask Heaven Market, the Barefoot Immortal, a cultivator at the Fourth Level of the Golden Core!"

"Damn it."

Chen Qiu, forced to the ground by the terrifying might, tasted the earthy smell of dirt in his mouth, and a nameless fire rose in his stomach. This was the second time today that a Golden Core cultivator had directly suppressed him with their aura!

While it made him extremely annoyed, it also stirred up a strong desire within him to break through to the Golden Core stage.

Immediately after,

The middle-aged barefoot man, floating in mid-air, looked down at the four people lying on the ground with disdain, as if they were ants, and said indifferently, "Were you the ones who looted my Ask Heaven Market?"

"The one who killed me?"

"No."

Chen Qiu, whose face was forcefully pressed against the ground, couldn't even lift his head to look at the middle-aged man in mid-air. He shouted with all his might, "When we arrived here, it was already like this!"

"We're only at the Foundation Establishment stage. There's no way we could have killed so many people in such a short time!"

"Oh."

The middle-aged man with bare feet looked at his nails and said casually, "Besides you, I can sense the presence of the Great Xia's Offering Priests here. You're not trying to say that the Great Xia's Offering Priests raided my Ask Heaven Market, are you?"

"The Great Xia Nation has a decree that no Offering Priest can kill without reason, nor can they seize others' opportunities and possessions without cause."

"Just like how killing is strictly prohibited on the Great Xia's official roads."

"These are the nation's ironclad laws."

"Besides you and the Offering Priests, there's no one else here. Are you suggesting that you are Offering Priests? I'll take you to the capital and ask His Majesty how he plans to explain this."

The next moment—

An immense sea of Spirit Energy suddenly transformed into tens of thousands of Spirit Threads, binding Chen Qiu and the others. Just as the barefooted man was about to stand up, his pupils suddenly flashed with disbelief, and his calm demeanor vanished. His breathing became rapid with excitement!

He descended from mid-air and stopped in front of the scholar.

"Could it be the scent of a Low-grade Essence Treasure of Golden Core?"

"You actually have the scent of a Low-grade Essence Treasure of Golden Core?"

"Quick, quick, quick! Take it out!"

"A blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise!"

The barefooted middle-aged man's greedy gaze fixed on the miniature longsword in the scholar's sleeve, which seemed to have a spirit of its own as it retreated deeper into the sleeve. His entire being became frenzied with excitement, "I never imagined that one day, I would have the chance to possess a Low-grade Essence Treasure of Golden Core."

After saying this, the barefooted man waved his hand, retracting the Spirit Threads binding them and transforming the Spirit Energy into a massive cage that enveloped them.

The Low-grade Essence Treasure of Golden Core had already developed a certain level of Spiritual Awareness, and to capture such a treasure, one must set up a cage without any gaps to prevent the treasure from escaping.

For safety, this cage must be extremely sturdy. It would be a waste of Spirit Energy to use it to bind these people; moreover, they were just a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. Even if you let them run, how far could they get?

Only then did he take a step towards the scholar, his face twisted with greed, ready to claim the opportunity that belonged to him.

A group of Foundation Establishment cultivators with a Low-grade Essence Treasure of Golden Core—wasn't this a chance opportunity?

Even if he stood still and let these Foundation Establishment cultivators attack him, they wouldn't be able to break through his protective aura with all their strength.

The difference between Golden Core and Foundation Establishment was like that of clouds and mud.

Once you enter the Golden Core stage, you roam freely under the nine heavens.

It's not a joke.

"Fellow Daoist."

The scholar, now free from restraint, had a troubled expression as he sat cross-legged on the ground again. He rasped at the barefooted man approaching him, "My name is Bai Yi, you should have heard of me. I was once the Great Xia's top Sword Cultivator, and I was also at the Golden Core stage."

"Can you give me some face and let us go today?"

"In the future, when my cultivation recovers, I will repay you greatly. You know in your heart that this Ask Heaven Market has nothing to do with us."
