"You little brat, how dare you steal a chicken!" Just as Chen Huai'an was about to savor the delicious treat, a reprimanding voice rang out from behind him.

He was so engrossed in roasting the chicken that he didn't even notice there were people nearby.

"Stealing chickens?" Upon hearing this, Chen Huai'an turned around and looked around, his face full of doubt as he looked at the two of them.

"Someone's stealing chickens, where is they?"

"Kid, don't play dumb in front of me. Isn't this chicken thief you?" One of the men, with a pointed face and monkey-like features, stared intently at the golden-brown roast chicken on the wooden rack. The two of them had unexpectedly made such a haul today.

"Me?" Chen Huai'an pointed at himself in disbelief.

What are these two guys up to? They're eyeing his roast chicken.

"Kid, if you don't want to cause trouble at the Enforcement Hall, hand this roast chicken over to us, and we'll pretend we never saw it." Another tall young man stared intently at Chen Huai'an.

"Trying to steal my roast chicken? You're asking for death." Chen Huai'an stared coldly at the two of them.

He had no doubt that these two guys were sent by the Zhang family to cause him trouble. He had been hiding so far away, yet they still came looking for him and even threatened him with the Law Enforcement Hall. They really deserved to die.

"Go! Let's teach this guy a lesson. A piece of trash at the mid-stage of Body Refinement dares to challenge us brothers." The man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks winked at the young man next to him, and then pounced on Chen Huai'an.

Since the other party was so direct, Chen Huai'an didn't tolerate it and raised his fist to meet the attack.

Just as Chen Huai'an got up, another man pounced on the roast chicken on the grill.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face fell to the ground.

Before the other man could even touch the roasted chicken on the grill, Chen Huai'an's dagger flew out instantly.

"Damn bastard, how dare you hurt someone!" The man who tried to catch the chicken failed and was instead injured by the dagger thrown by Chen Huai'an. He was both shocked and furious.

"If I don't show my power, people will think I'm a pushover, and that any Tom, Dick, or Harry will dare to steal my things." As soon as Chen Huai'an exchanged blows with his opponent, he knew that their strength was at the third level of the early stage of Body Refinement and the fourth level of the middle stage of Body Refinement.

If he hadn't held back his strength, a single blow would have killed him.

"You're not at the fourth level of the mid-stage Body Refinement Realm. Who are you? How can you be so strong?" The man at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm was struck by Chen Huai'an's dagger. He knew that Chen Huai'an's strength was above theirs. Today, they had kicked a hornet's nest.

"Let's retreat. This guy is too strong; we're no match for him at all."

"Trying to run? Did I agree to that?" Seeing the two trying to escape, Chen Huai'an leaped up and blocked their way.

Chen Huai'an lifted the other person up as if he were a chick.

"What are you going to do?"

"What are you doing? That's a question I should be asking you." Chen Huai'an stared coldly at the other party.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, we were wrong, please, senior brother, have mercy and let us go like a fart." The man, who was at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm, sensed the killing intent in Chen Huai'an's eyes and quickly begged for mercy.

As for the man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks who had reached the third level of body refinement, he was completely terrified and dared not make any move. He also knelt down in front of Chen Huai'an and begged for mercy.

"You want to steal my roast chicken and expect me to let you go? Do you think that's possible?" Chen Huai'an saw that the other party had not revealed his backing, so they were probably not sent by the Zhang or Zhao families. The murderous intent in his eyes also subsided.

"We're sorry, we were wrong. If you let us go, we'll give you everything we have as an apology," the man at the fourth level of Body Refinement said hurriedly.

"Oh! What good stuff could you possibly have on you?" Chen Huai'an glanced at the other party. As fellow outer sect servants, they were all dirt poor and had nothing that could tempt him.

"Senior brother, we don't really have anything valuable on us, but we know of a cultivator's cave. If you agree to let us go, we'll tell you about it." The man, who was at the fourth level of Body Refinement, took a deep breath and then spoke.

"A cultivator's cave dwelling?" Chen Huai'an looked on with suspicion.

"That's right, it's a cultivator's cave dwelling. We two brothers discovered it by accident. However, there are restrictions on this cave dwelling. With our strength, we can't break through the restrictions at all. If you let us go, we'll tell you the location of the cultivator's cave dwelling." The man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks chimed in.

Chen Huai'an looked the two of them up and down, but he didn't find anything unusual in their eyes.

This shows that what the other party said was true, and they weren't just making things up to save their lives.

"Tell me about it. If this news is true, it's not impossible for me to let you go." Chen Huai'an was somewhat uneasy. A cultivator's cave dwelling—this was likely a cultivation cave dwelling opened by immortal masters above the Qi Refining Realm. If he could really break through the restrictions inside, he would definitely gain something.

"Senior brother, everything I said is true. If there is any deception, my brother and I will surely die a horrible death." Seeing Chen Huai'an nod, the two felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly expressed their gratitude.

Soon, after hearing the other party's explanation, Chen Huai'an learned what had happened.

The cultivator's cave they mentioned was located in the Qingyun Mountains, within the territory of the Qingyun Sect. Some time ago, they had gone out to search for treasures for the Qingyun Sect, but unfortunately, due to their low cultivation levels, they couldn't find the cave; they were blocked by a restriction at the outer perimeter. They planned to try their luck again once their cultivation levels had improved.

If they still couldn't break the restriction, he would ask someone to help him explore, but their cultivation level was too low, and they were afraid that if they asked a high-level cultivator, the other party would kill them to silence them.

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Huai'an might actually kill them to save their lives, they wouldn't have told him this secret.

"Senior brother, this is the map that records the cultivator's cave. But it's a deal: we'll tell you, and you'll let us go." The man, who was at the fourth level of Body Refinement, took out a yellowed parchment scroll.

Chen Huai'an took the parchment scroll. It was indeed a map. As for whether it was the cultivator's cave that the other party had mentioned, he would only know once he went there.

"Alright, you can get lost now." Chen Huai'an wasn't the kind of murderous demon. The other party only wanted to steal his things. Besides, they were in the sect, so it wasn't good to make too many enemies. The other party didn't really want to kill him, so he let them go.

Of course, killing the other party would indeed save a lot of trouble, but after careful consideration, killing the other party would still bring him a lot of trouble. Moreover, the other party's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, and his strength was superior to the other party's, so he was not afraid of the other party's retaliation at all.

Upon hearing Chen Huai'an's words, the two felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They helped each other up and quickly fled the place.

The meat of the five-colored golden pheasant is very good, but they also need to be alive to enjoy it.

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​did we just give him the map of that cultivator's cave like that?" The man with the pointed mouth and monkey-like face looked back in the direction of Chen Huai'an and said with resentment.

"Otherwise, what else do you want? The other party might be at the late stage of Body Refinement. What can we use to retaliate? Besides, we're both injured now. If you have the ability to retaliate, go ahead, but don't drag me into it. As for that cultivator's cave, I've already memorized the route. Even without a map, I can find it. What we need to do now is to recover from our injuries quickly. Once you reach the mid-stage of Body Refinement, we'll go there again." The man at the fourth level of Body Refinement said hatefully.

"A map of a cultivator's cave? I never expected that eating roast chicken would bring me such good fortune." Chen Huai'an muttered to himself as he looked at the map in his hand.

Whether the map is real or not, it's an opportunity, and he must seize it.
