A ruthless bandit from the celestial realm, he began his cultivation journey after kidnapping the Em

After a while, Ye Chen noticed that it was getting late, so he announced that they were going to the black market...

Lin Wanli was still not satisfied, but Ye Chen had given him a lot of guidance today, so he did not hesitate too much.

"Senior Brother Lin's swordsmanship is truly amazing..."

Lin Ningxue stepped forward, her eyes shining with admiration.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanli's expression brightened, and he looked at Lin Ningxue in front of him with eager anticipation.

"Junior sister, would you like to learn? I'll teach you..."

"Really?" Lin Ningxue's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.

"Of course... as long as my junior sister lets me come over for meals often in the future..."

Lin Wanli said with a serious expression.

He was willing to teach Lin Ningxue partly because he could get free food and drinks, and partly because of Ye Chen...

He could tell that Ye Chen and Lin Ningxue had a special relationship; Ye Chen had been willing to give him pointers before because Lin Ningxue had spoken highly of him...

If he teaches Lin Ningxue well, then Ye Chen might be able to give him a few more pointers...

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Lin!"

Lin Ningxue said with a grateful expression.

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Wanli with surprise, seemingly understanding his thoughts, but said nothing more, and turned to walk out of the cave...

Seeing this, Lin Ningxue and Lin Wanli quickly followed...

Thousand-Ren Peak, in a grove of trees at its foot.

"Those three people you mentioned, they're not going to skip the black market tonight, are they?"

The aloof man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the bearded man beside him quickly reassured him, "Brother, don't worry, they will definitely come..."

"Last night, those people brought over a thousand Spirit Replenishing Pills to sell on the black market. They stole our Spirit Replenishing Pills last night, and they'll definitely come back today..."

He wasn't sure if Ye Chen and the others would reappear, but he had already found help, and he couldn't just let them leave like that. He had to get revenge no matter what...

Upon hearing this, the aloof man thought of the numerous spirit stones and pills, and a hint of greed flashed across his face. He immediately spoke up.

"Okay, then I'll wait a bit longer..."

"Keep a close eye on them, don't let anyone slip away right under your noses..."

"Don't worry, brother, we're watching!" the bearded man replied immediately.

Beside him stood several men with bruised and swollen faces; they were the merchants who had been taught a lesson by Lin Wanli the day before...

Naturally, they were unwilling to accept defeat after being beaten. Upon hearing that the bearded man had brought his inner sect brothers to seek revenge, they all rushed to cheer him on, also hoping to seize the opportunity to reclaim their lost spirit stones and pills...

The aloof man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, while the bearded man led his gang, crouching in the bushes, watching the outside world. They carefully scrutinized every disciple who passed by, leaving no one unchecked...

After a while, the group gradually became impatient...

"What if the three of them don't come today?"

"I'm counting on those spirit stones and pills to break through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage..."

"Damn it, if they steal the stuff and don't come to the black market, where are we supposed to look for it?"

"Although the person last night looked a lot like Lin Wanli, we had no proof and couldn't go to his door to find him..."

"We finally managed to get Liang Ge's older brother here; it would be such a shame if the three of them didn't come..."

......

The group huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, all feeling anxious...

They didn't want their hard-earned savings to go down the drain; no one could accept that.

The bearded man gritted his teeth, his face hardening, and said, "They will definitely come..."

He was so certain because Ye Chen and his group had been selling Spirit Replenishing Pills on the black market yesterday. After robbing them of the pills, they would surely resell them for even more spirit stones...

If the other party doesn't lack spirit stones, why would they sell spirit-replenishing pills?

"Brother Liang, look at those two men and one woman over there, aren't they the three from last night?"

Suddenly, one of the men shouted excitedly, pointing to a mountain path not far away...

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to look...

"It really seems to be the three of them..."

"Two men and one woman, and the man is holding a sword—that's definitely them!"

"That woman's figure... is exactly the same as last night's..."

"Although they're not wearing masks and their clothes are different, they look very similar, there's no mistake..."

"That guy holding the sword really is Lin Wanli, the sword fanatic!"

"I knew it! Apart from him, no one in the outer sect has such superb swordsmanship. It's normal that we couldn't beat him last night..."

......

After careful examination, the group spoke up, each quite certain of their judgment...

When his gaze fell on Lin Wanli, he became even more certain that he hadn't mistaken him for someone else...

Lin Wanli's every move was too easy to recognize, especially the Xuan Yang Sword in his hand, which immediately identified him...

The bearded man narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them...

"Alright, alright, I've finally waited for the three of you..."

"Tonight, you'll have to pay back double what you took from me..."

He silently vowed, a surge of anger rising within him...

After confirming that the newcomers were the same group who had injured him and stolen his storage bag the previous night, the bearded man immediately turned and walked towards the aloof man not far away...

"Brother, they're here..."

"The person who made the move last night was indeed the sword fanatic Lin Wanli..."

"He's at the peak of Foundation Establishment... Brother, you need to be careful..."

......

Upon hearing this, the aloof man opened his eyes, glanced at him, and said irritably.

"Be careful my ass..."

"Why should I worry about a mere peak Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

"What kind of bullshit sword fanatic is he? He's just an outer disciple who dabbles in swordsmanship..."

......

He stood up, a powerful aura subtly emanating from him...

The bearded man sensed the fluctuation in aura and was startled. He quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, brother, you are already at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, half a step into the Golden Core realm. Naturally, you have no need to fear Lin Wanli..."

"How could the three of them possibly be a match for their elder brother!"

"Tonight, I'll be counting on my brother..."

......

He praised the aloof man desperately, hoping that the man would avenge him.

"Let's go! Take me to meet those arrogant ants who don't know their place..."

The aloof man spoke with an arrogant expression.

His strength was among the top in the inner sect of the Qingyun Sect. A young man at the half-step Golden Core stage, he naturally wouldn't take the outer sect disciples seriously...

He considered those ranked second on the outer sect disciple list to be nothing more than a bunch of insignificant ants...

The bearded man said excitedly, "Brother, come with me..."

He started walking forward, eager to retaliate...

Last night he was beaten and his storage bag was stolen. He was so angry when he got back to his cave that he couldn't sleep all night, his mind preoccupied with revenge...

I've been lying in wait for ages, and now that the other person has finally shown up, I can't contain my urge for revenge...
