Chapter 613: Robbery and Murder

"This is tricking a dog into going out to be killed!"

"Who did I offend? Why are you all targeting me?"

Aaron complained inwardly with great innocence: "Is this the legendary 'black society' cultivation? Because I look wealthy, they've set their sights on me?"

"Can things ever just be okay?"

With his thoughts spinning, Aaron put on a hesitant expression and said, "The outside world is not like the market; it is full of danger and conflict. I, Fang, must consider this carefully."

Qingshan Sanren's expression changed, and he was about to persuade him further.

At this moment, Baihe Xianzi smiled and agreed, "Fellow Daoist is a cautious person. Then please give us an answer within three days."

At the same time, she slapped several talismans onto her body, clearly determined to hold her ground and wait for reinforcements.

The opponent's high-quality magic tool was too fast, so Shopkeeper You had no choice but to stop and face the enemy. She slapped her Storage Bag, and three jade knives flew out—they were actually a set of Mid-grade Magical Tools.

"Why can't you just let me earn Spirit Stones in peace?"

When saying this, Shopkeeper You also felt a bit of regret.

"Shisanyi, don't be impatient. Looking at that person's demeanor, he should be somewhat moved... After all, Lin Yuanping is his assistant, and he has gone out exploring with us several times without encountering danger. This person must have been tempted."

The power of a High-grade Magical Tool is absolutely incomparable to mid or low-grade ones!

She pinched a spell, and the three jade flying knives split into three directions, launching a surprise attack on Aaron in the black clouds.

"No one can stop my steady progress, so as long as I kill everyone who causes me trouble, I can still keep a low profile!"

However, the 'Diamond Talisman' lived up to its reputation as a first-tier mid-to-high-grade talisman, steadily blocking this knife. It looked like it could easily handle two more strikes.

At the same time, several ribbons protected her entire body, providing extremely thorough defense.

Baihe Xianzi comforted her.

These ghosts looked malnourished, and even that Red-haired Great Ghost looked sickly, as if it had been starved for a long time and hadn't been fed with living souls regularly.

Shopkeeper You retracted the three jade knives to defend herself while entangled with the many small ghosts, a strong sense of unease rising in her heart.

"Go!"

As for choosing to strike only a hundred miles away from Dongmen Valley, it was a last resort.

To be honest, Aaron was also worried that there might be an inside agent for those Thieving Maidens within the Sanshan Association!

It is said that before the Righteous-Demonic War, the organization once spent a huge price to lure out a Talisman Master, kill them, and seize their inheritance.

"You no longer have a chance."

Actually, she wanted to curse at how cautious he was.

Less than a hundred miles after the escape light flew out of Dongmen Valley, Shopkeeper You's expression suddenly changed.

A small black banner emerged, and as he continuously cast spells into it, it spewed out Ghost Mist.

An ordinary Qi Refining cultivator, even at Great Perfection, would be trapped to death if caught in the Ghost Mist!

A dark cloud was seen approaching fiercely; it was clearly a Demonic Dao artifact, and it looked like it had come with ill intent!

Aaron sent them away, then asked Lin Yuanping to stay behind, preparing to use the 'Soul Bewitching Technique' to guide his questioning later.

Since the employer kept his own assistant, Baihe Xianzi naturally could not argue. She followed Qingshan to another part of the market, walked through a back door into a pavilion, which was none other than the 'Wanfa Pavilion'!

Inside the quiet room, Shopkeeper You's pretty face was filled with malice. After hearing their account, she couldn't help but bite her silver teeth: "Still need to consider? Is this person really a Great Perfection cultivator? Why is he so... cautious?"

As for the other two flying knives, one was knocked off course by a large number of Fireballs thrown by Aaron, and the other collided with a layer of 'Diamond Talisman' defense!

Even if the Diamond Talisman were broken, Aaron actually still had a mid-grade magic tool, the 'Octagonal Shield', hidden.

"Hundred Ghost Banner?!"

Although he wanted to hide his identity, in the face of a life-and-death crisis, nothing else mattered.

Who knew how strong Shopkeeper You's hidden strength was? If she ran back to her lair, there would be many troubles!

As for reporting them?

After finishing all this, Shopkeeper You looked at the black-faced cultivator in the dark clouds. Seeing that he was wearing a black robe and had astonishing baleful energy, yet she did not recognize him at all, she couldn't help but call out: "Has your Excellency mistaken the person?"

"What conspiracy is the opponent preparing? Fortunately, as long as I hold on for another moment or two, the Dongmen Valley patrol team will definitely notice something is wrong..."

"Hehe... those arrangements and investments also cost a lot of effort. It's a pity that the man isn't interested in women, otherwise why go through so much trouble?" Shopkeeper You said anxiously: "However, this 'Small Talisman Hall' can earn hundreds of Spirit Stones a year, and that man has been very generous when buying spells several times. After finishing this job, we can rest for a long time. And we can also obtain a precious Talisman Master inheritance..."

"This fellow Daoist..."

At this time, Aaron had already activated the 'Hundred Ghost Banner', and a large amount of Ghost Mist dispersed around, blocking their vision.

But in front of his subordinates, he still had to maintain his composure and endure it for now.

"This is natural."

"Why do you all have to make things difficult for me?"

A sharp light flashed in Aaron's eyes.

Aaron's aura was dim; he had clearly used the 'Concealment Technique' to suppress his cultivation, making him look like he was at the late stage of Qi Refining, comparable to Shopkeeper You.

The reason he released the Hundred Ghost Banner was because he valued its ability to conceal himself, preparing for the casting of another spell!

Clang!

One flying knife collided directly with a black Inkstone and was splashed by the ink on it, immediately becoming wobbly.

Shopkeeper You let out a charming laugh, her face as gentle as a spring breeze, as if she could make a hundred flowers bloom, yet it still couldn't melt the ice on Aaron's face.

"You are preparing to wait for rescue? As long as I kill you quickly, won't no one know?"

From the mist, small ghosts kept jumping out, along with a late-stage Qi Refining Red-haired Great Ghost!

"No... something is wrong."

Shopkeeper You's eyes were about to pop out. A True Disciple of the Black Blood Sect coming out to rob people? What kind of joke was this?

A cruel smile appeared on Aaron's face as he reached out and slapped his Storage Bag.

"This time I will do it myself. Go and call more sisters. Success is the only option, failure is not allowed."

Shopkeeper You gave a few instructions to the two, then hurried out of the market, preparing to go to the Thieving Maidens' lair to gather more people.

But later, they encountered the Dongmen Valley upheaval, and the person responsible for safeguarding the inheritance died in the chaos; they couldn't even determine who the enemy was and had to swallow this bitter pill!

"When has this one ever needed to identify someone when killing for wealth?"

Furthermore, he only intended to entangle her, not to kill her.

Moreover, he knew that he was ultimately not quite compatible with manipulating this High-grade Magical Tool; while it was naturally feasible to wear down a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator, it would consume quite a lot of time.

At the same time, she also developed an ominous premonition.

Aaron did not answer; he understood the principle that villains die from talking too much.

Therefore, it was better to take action himself!

Directly eliminate the leader targeting him, and be done with it once and for all!

Even so, he specifically donned the persona of another Demonic Dao cultivator, and the item he used was also a fine-quality Magic Tool of a Black Blood Sect Disciple.

"A rogue cultivator?! To rob and kill at such close range in Dongmen Valley, Your Excellency truly has great prestige."

Shopkeeper You dashed left and right, but could not escape the range of the Ghost Mist; a sorrowful expression could not help but appear on her face, yet she still did not give up on using her charm techniques.

Just as Shopkeeper You was pondering, a scene appeared that made her soul flee in terror!

A pitch-black Fireball abruptly emerged from the Ghost Mist, colliding with her protective Light barrier and silk ribbon.

These layers of defense were just like window paper, piercing through at a single touch!

Subsequently, the terrifying Black Sun Demon Fire reduced this beauty to ashes...
