Alleys, alleys, always alleys.

Duan Sanfu’s forehead vein twitched uncontrollably until he saw Luo Chen enter a triple courtyard. His breath finally lightened.

“No wonder the brothers in the gang had searched for a long time but couldn’t find him.”

“Turned out he’d already moved to the Inner City and chose such a remote place.”

The little brother beside him was eager to give it a go.

“Duan brother, what do we do now? Do we barge in, capture the kid and bring him before Brother Gao Er?”

Smack!

A slap landed on the little brother’s head, drawing a pitiful look from his eyes. Duan Sanfu said, almost in frustration: “Where do you think we are? The Inner City! Yu Ding Sword Sect’s territory, even with a Golden Core Ascendant Master watching. Are you going to abduct someone right under the Ascendant Master’s watch?”

The little brother answered sulkily, “He’s just a waste at the Third Level Qi Refinement Stage. We can knock him out and take him, God Doesn’t Know Ghost Not Perceive. If anything, we can just get him drunk before leaving the city and simply say he drank too much.”

“Are you blind?!” Duan Sanfu bellowed, glance left and right realizing something, he lowered his voice, “That kid has already reached the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage, can’t you see it?”

The little brother was taken aback.

Wasn’t he at the Third Level Qi Refinement Stage?

How did he reach the Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage in one or two months? While the difference is only one level, there indeed is a difference between the Third and Fourth Level Qi Refinement Stage.

A cultivator at the Third Level, can’t activate more than two spells, isn’t skilled at using magic tools, and if they aren’t adept at any mundane martial skills, they re practically “as weak as a chicken”.

We could easily take him.

However, at the Fourth Level, it implies sufficient spirit power to cast spells and use magic tools for an extended period of time.

One careless action during a fight, and it’s easy to raise a ruckus.

Duan Sanfu patted the little brother’s shoulder, “We’ve figured out where he resides. The next step is to wait for Brother Gao Er to finish the deathmatches, then we decide.”

“Hmm, I’ll go back and report now.”

“What about me?”

“You stay here and keep a watch. Confirm if this kid plans on living here for a long time. It’ll be easier to catch him.”

“Oh, okay!”

The little brother sulkily found a shadowy spot and squatted down.

Rustle, rustle…

He glanced down to find a black tail disappearing into the shadow.

Ha, everyone says how great the Inner City is. Looks like there’s no difference from the Outer City. Even here has rats.

Inside the quadrangle, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on the floor, trying his best to mobilize his spirit power.

After a long while, the Armadillo Puppet Beast returned to his hand.

“Gao Tingyuan is still investigating his brother’s death. He even plans on making a move against me.”

Luo Chen’s expression fluctuated.

Standing up, he paced around the yard, contemplating.

He barely managed to obtain some information through the Puppet Beast.

They won’t act now due to lack of time, but after the deathmatches between the gangs, they would certainly attack him once they got the chance.

It would be dangerous for him then.

But to dare to take action in the Inner City, they’re truly bold!

Luo Chen’s lips curled slightly, as if he’d thought of something.

“Friend, which courtyard do you belong to?”

Suddenly, a voice sounded from up front.

A middle-aged man was looking at Luo Chen curiously.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, pointing to the double courtyard behind him.

“The one in the back, I just moved in. Hello there!”

“New neighbour, eh? I’m Wan Xiaoshan.”

“I’m Jin Xian. Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, great name, friend. It seems you’re destined to achieve the Great Luo Jin

Xian and enjoy the fortune of eternal life.”

Great Luo?

Indeed, although now people called him Xiao Luo, he could be called Da Luo in the future.

Of course, when meeting for the first time, one should remain humble.

“Eh, it’s not much. I have some matters to attend to, need to head home.”

Luo Chen waved his hand, bid farewell to his new “neighbor,” and headed towards the archway of the central courtyard.

Before he left, as if he suddenly remembered something, he sincerely offered a word of caution.

Friend Wan Xiaoshan, there are too many outsiders recently in The Great River District. I’m afraid some people have the idea of making a fortune and leaving, which could be harmful to us honest folks. You must be careful when coming and going!”

Wan Xiaoshan was taken aback, then nonchalantly responded, “No worries, the Yu Ding Sword Sect has already anticipated this and has specifically appointed a patrol team led by a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator. If we encounter such people, well capture them and give them a good beating.” “Is that so? That’s great!”

Luo Chen’S eyes brightened, and his steps quickened. In no time, he passed through the archway of the central courtyard and stepped into the backyard. He turned a corner around a shadow wall and completely disappeared from sight.

Wan Xiaoshan shook his head, chuckling. This Dao friend was rather timid.

In broad daylight, who would dare to stir up trouble in the Inner City?

Forget about the Inner City, even the Outer City is utterly safe now.

Who would dare to provoke the Yu Ding Sword Sect?

Laughing, he left the courtyard, planning to visit a nearby trading fair. Although he scorned Luo Chen’s warning, he remained vigilant as he left.

The courtyard saw many people coming and going; it was indeed possible for malicious Calamity Cultivators to slip in.

With this in mind, he scrutinized everyone he saw.

“Hmm, why is this guy acting so sneakily?”

“Dare he glare at me?”

‘Tve never wronged him, why is he staring at me?”

“Darn, did Dao friend Jin Xian really predict it right?”

“No, I need to notify the patrol team immediately.”

Wan Xiaoshan darted a fierce glance at a Great Lake Gang underling squatting by the wall before quickening his pace.

The underling looked at Wan Xiaoshan in confusion.

“What’s wrong with this guy? Just walk, why does he keep staring at me?”

“Forget it, I can’t be bothered. I need to keep a close watch on Luo Chen so he doesn’t get away.”

“Once this task is done, Brother Duan will definitely value me more. Maybe even Brother Gao Er will look favorably upon me and take me on the boat to make big Spirit Stones!”

With these thoughts in mind, he was all the more hopeful about his future.

However, shortly thereafter, several glints descended from the sky, forming a tight circle around him.

“Yes, it’s him! He was staring at me, he definitely wants to kill me, rob the Medium Grade Flying Sword I bought with great difficulty, and perhaps even strip me of my new Daoist robe!”

The underling was gobsmacked!

The leader of the patrol team, a cultivator, walked up, frowning.

“Ha!”

Who are you? What do you do? What are you squatting here for? Are you planning to rob someone?”

The statement was hurried, and an echo lingered in his tone.

The underling was initially taken aback, then groggily stated, “I’m from the Outer City District, a porter from the Great Lake Gang. I’m here keeping an eye on someone. I’m not here to rob, just planning to kidnap a person.” After he finished speaking, he suddenly snapped back to reality.

All of a sudden, his face turned pale.

How could he have spilled everything?

Slap!

The leader of the patrol team gave him a fierce slap, “I hate your kind of robbing Cultivator the most, you lack any skills. Come with me!”

“Where to?”

“You’ve done your deed, now go and squat in Red Pillar Prison for a hundred years. When you manage to win ten rounds on the Dao Debate Platform, you can get out!”

The underling’s mouth hung open, not sure if it was the slap that stupefied him, or the prospect of his future.

After the patrol team’s cultivator left, Wan Xiaoshan patted his chest with immense relief.

Thank god I was quick thinking!

No, I can’t be the only one to know about this; I need to alert the neighbors in the other three courtyards.

Thinking and acting swiftly, he drew a deep breath and began running while shouting out a warning.

“There are Calamity Cultivators around, everyone needs to be careful when going out and coming in!”

Cultivators nearby emerged from their houses.

“Yes, it was me, Wan Xiaoshan, who reported it. Those bastards deserve to squat in Red Pillar Prison!”

Hey, it’s nothing really, no need to thank me!”
