Transforming the false into the true, I am the only one in the world who possesses the true Dharma.

"Is it related to the Dust and Sand Gang?"

Xu Yan stroked his chin: "Continue."

The wolf demon smiled bitterly, "Master, that's all I know. I really don't know anything else. Even if you cut off my legs, I can't lie to you."

Xu Yan nodded and said, "It seems you really don't know. Okay, I'll let you go now."

Upon hearing this, the wolf demon's face lit up with joy.

As long as he could save his life, he would immediately take a shortcut up the mountain and ask Wolf Lord to avenge him.

The look of joy froze on his face, and it didn't change.

Xu Yan lightly swung his longsword, and a wisp of sword energy burst forth.

Sword energy swirled around the wolf demon's neck, causing its head to fly up and fall, staining the ground with blood.

Kill the wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain ten taels of life money.

[Slay a wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain eight taels of life-saving coins.]

Xu Yan glanced at the text: "So killing demons also comes with a life-for-money reward."

He thought the True Talisman was only effective against humans, but he didn't expect it to be effective against demons as well.

"There are so many wolf demons, this is a huge profit."

Without thinking much, Xu Yan lifted his foot and walked towards the mountain path.

The situation is clear now; it's time to reap the rewards. Dealing with the wolf demon with a mid-stage Five Elements Realm cultivation is as easy as eating at a buffet here.

Soon, Xu Yan's figure disappeared at the end of the mountain path.

……

At the mountaintop, the cold wind howls year-round.

At the very top there is a cave, but inside it is always spring-like.

The cave has winding passages, and ordinary people who enter it will get lost and never be able to find their way out, even if they die.

However, the largest cave was furnished with various tables and chairs.

In front of the largest stone table, a wolf demon two zhang tall raised his wine cup and clinked it against the cup of a man not far away.

"Mr. Shi, our deal is done. What brings you here today?"

The wolf demon exuded the cultivation level of the Five Elements Realm, and all the surrounding wolf demons lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to move an inch.

The man opposite him remained calm, raised his glass, took a small sip, and said, "Naturally, it's for that batch of goods. Only after you give me the goods will our transaction be complete."

Wolf frowned and said, "Master Shi, you let us rob you, and then you insist on taking it back yourself. Isn't that just pointless and unnecessary?"

He couldn't quite understand it.

If an ordinary person had done this, he would have already lost his temper, but the man sitting in front of him was different.

This man, named Shi Quan, is the manager of Cangyuan Street in the Chensha Gang. He has reached the mid-stage of the Five Elements Realm and is considered a master among the middle-level members of the Chensha Gang.

I was able to break through to the Five Elements Realm because of Shi Quan.

Therefore, Wolf Lord simply voiced the question that had been on his mind.

Shi Quan sneered, "If you steal the goods, you will cause Yu Yingyue to lose power, while I will take the goods and gain power. After returning, I only need to make some moves, and the property on Sangyue Street will be mine."

Wolf Lord frowned and said, "I heard that others have tried to take action before, but even though Yu Yingyue is at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, she didn't dare to make a move against the Five Elements Realm manager. Why is that?"

Shi Quan shook his head and said, "You think too simply of her. Anyone who has reached the position of manager knows how to hide their talents. Several years ago, she entered the Five Elements Realm and was cultivating the family's techniques. It is said that she not only broke through several layers of life and death terrors, but also cultivated the techniques to the Five Elements Realm."

Upon hearing this, Wolf King gasped.

Whether it's mental cultivation or technical skills, every breakthrough requires experiencing the terror of life and death.

Most ordinary people can cultivate to the Five Elements Realm by relying on mental techniques. Although they may also cultivate skills, they only do so to a certain extent, and mental techniques are still the primary focus.

However, Yu Yingyue was able to cultivate both mental techniques and skills, which not only showed her talent but also her courage.

After all, only those who have experienced the terror of life and death can understand just how dangerous this place is.

Wolf Master understood what Shi Quan meant.

Since we can't take it by force, we'll resort to some tricks and schemes.

The Xia family's shipment contained extremely important treasures.

After the goods are lost, Yu Yingyue will lose power. If she can recover the goods during this time, she may be able to acquire the property of Sangyue Street.

"You two, go and carry the goods up here."

Wolf Lord pointed to the two wolf demons and gave them instructions.

The two wolf demons hurriedly got up and soon carried two crates out of the room.

The cargo box was as tall as a person and looked extremely heavy; even the two demons seemed to be struggling with it.

"Bang!"

After the wolf demon put the crate down, Wolf Lord laughed loudly.

"I didn't touch anything inside, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

He knew very well what the background of the Dust Sand Gang was, and he also knew that associating with the leaders of the Dust Sand Gang would be of great benefit to Golden Hook Mountain.

Putting everything else aside, this small collaboration allowed me to break through to the Five Elements Realm, and the benefits will be even greater in the future.

Shi Quan nodded, then walked to the wooden crate and placed his hand on it.

The matter was settled, and he prepared to leave.

Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

At the same time, a sound came from the passage connecting the cave.

"The road is really winding and complicated. If it weren't for the smell of blood, I would have gotten lost."

Upon hearing this, Shi Quan frowned and turned his gaze to the dark passage.

Wolf Lord reacted swiftly, grabbing an iron knife from the side and shouting, "Who goes there, daring to trespass on Golden Hook Mountain!"

The other wolf demons also looked over, their eyes flashing with ferocity.

Xu Yan slowly stepped out of the passage, glanced at the surrounding scenery, took off his straw hat, and gently fanned himself.

"Exactly six wolf demons."

He then turned his gaze to Shiquan.

"So you're from the Dust and Sand Gang? Which leader are you?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Quan narrowed his eyes.

"It seems he knows my identity, Wolf Lord. This person cannot be allowed to live; kill him immediately."

Wolf Lord waved his sleeve: "Kill him."

There was no wasted words, and no unnecessary actions.

His collusion with the Dust and Sand Gang must not be known to outsiders.

If anyone had known even a little bit, let alone Shiquan, even Jingou Mountain might not have been able to be saved.

Several wolf demons, their eyes gleaming with ferocity, pounced straight at Xu Yan, as if they intended to tear him to pieces.

Xu Yan smiled slightly, and drew his long sword from his waist.

The flashing sword energy felt like a gentle breeze brushing against one's face.

Several wolf heads were brushed by the sword energy, immediately flying high into the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and a line of smoke appeared in front of Xu Yan, forming words.

Kill the wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain ten taels of life money.

[Slay a wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain eight taels of life-saving coins.]

[Slay a wolf demon in its mortal realm and obtain seven taels of life money.]

……

The five wolf demons brought him another forty taels of life money.

Xu Yan wiped the blood off his longsword and said with satisfaction, "That was quite a good haul."

Upon seeing this, Shi Quan suddenly raised his hands and pressed them against Xu Yan's chest, while shouting at Wolf Lord.

"He is a martial artist at the Five Elements Realm. This matter must not be spread."

"Let's leave him here together!"

Seeing this, Wolf Lord said no more, raised his iron knife, and slashed at Xu Yan's head.
