As night falls and the city lights come on, Shanghai doesn't quiet down; instead, it becomes even more lively.
Especially on the streets and alleys, there are more people coming and going than during the day.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no interest in shopping right now. He quickly arrived at the residential area where Min Dongqing lived, and under the cover of night, he immediately entered the area and arrived outside Min Dongqing's villa.
Min Dongqing is not at home! Liu Xiaoyuan sensed with his divine sense that Min Dongqing was not at home, and there was no one in the villa, which provided him with an opportunity.
Liu Xiaoyuan entered Min Dongqing's house like a bird in flight, heading straight for Min Dongqing's bedroom. The bedroom door was locked from the inside, but that didn't stop Liu Xiaoyuan.
Since they all came from Min Dongqing's jade flute, they didn't care about using violence.
Liu Xiaoyuan used his supernatural powers to break the lock on Min Dongqing's bedroom door, then went into the bedroom and opened the safe using the password he had memorized, taking out the wooden box containing the jade flute.
After receiving the wooden box, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately opened the curtain. Inside, he saw the jade flute lying quietly. Overjoyed, Liu Xiaoyuan closed the box again and prepared to leave Min Dongqing's house.
Suddenly, Liu Xiaoyuan sensed that someone had entered Min Dongqing's villa, and there were two of them, both cultivators.
What are these two cultivators doing here at Min Dongqing's place? Could they also be here for the jade flute?
After putting the wooden box into a storage bag, the two cultivators arrived at the villa and blocked Liu Xiaoyuan's path.
"What do you two mean by this?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at the two of them.
One of them said, "Summon the jade flute, and you can leave. Otherwise, you won't be leaving this room tonight!"
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the two people; one was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, and the other was in the middle Foundation Establishment stage.
"What jade flute? I don't understand what you're saying. Could you two please move aside?" Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to cause trouble and just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Liu Xiaoyuan felt like he had won the lottery; all he wanted to do was check his bank balance, not make any comments.
"Kid, stop making excuses. We just saw you put a wooden box into your storage bag. If you know what's good for you, hand it over now!" said the late Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the two had come for the jade flute, but he didn't know how they had learned that Min Dongqing had obtained the jade flute.
"Okay, I'll take out the jade flute right away!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, a fawning smile on his face.
The two cultivators looked at Liu Xiaoyuan and thought that Liu Xiaoyuan, a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, would not dare to play any tricks. If he did, he would be courting death.
While Liu Xiaoyuan pretended to take out a storage bag, he immediately summoned a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator through the God-level Invincible System, and at the same time, he immediately summoned the Flying Cloud Sword.
"Not good!" The two cultivators suddenly sensed a great danger from Liu Xiaoyuan and tried to dodge, but Liu Xiaoyuan's Flying Cloud Sword was already attacking them.
"Ah!" A single sword strike instantly killed a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, giving him no chance to retaliate.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage naturally turned tail and ran, wishing they had more legs.
"Do you believe that you can run faster than my flying sword?" Liu Xiaoyuan's voice came from behind the man.
The cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage immediately stopped running, turned around, and landed on the ground.
"Senior, spare my life! Senior, spare my life..." The mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator immediately kowtowed to Liu Xiaoyuan and begged for mercy.
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the other person and said, "How did you know he had a jade flute?"
The cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage said, "We also found out that Min Dongqing has the jade flute we are looking for."
"The jade flute you're looking for? What's going on? Tell me!" Liu Xiaoyuan's eyes widened, and he swung his Flying Cloud Sword, making the cultivator tremble in fear.
The cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage said, "We are disciples of the Heavenly Extreme Sect. This time, the sect gave us a mission: to go down the mountain to find the jade flute. Most of the disciples of the Heavenly Extreme Sect have already gone down the mountain."
Upon hearing the other party's words, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but think that the fact that the entire Tianji Sect sent all its disciples down the mountain to search for the jade flute proved that this item was extremely important to the Tianji Sect.
"What kind of magical treasure is this jade flute to your Tianji Sect?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
The cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage shook his head and said, "I don't know, I really don't know."
Huh? This doesn't make sense. If they sent their own disciples to find the magic weapon, why didn't they tell them about its function or any other information? What's going on?
"Are you really unaware or are you pretending not to know?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked, looking at the other person.
The other person immediately said, "Senior, I really don't know, I really don't know!"
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Liu Xiaoyuan found it strange. It seemed that the Tianji Sect was hiding something.
"Senior, I will keep tonight's events a secret. I swear to God, I only beg you to spare my life," the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator pleaded.
Although Liu Xiaoyuan doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, he's not a soft-hearted person either, so this guy definitely can't be allowed to live.
Since the entire Tianji Sect is searching for the jade flute, it proves its importance to the sect. If Tianjizi knew that the jade flute was on him, wouldn't he send the entire sect to hunt him down?
The previous incident, where a Golden Core cultivator from the Heavenly Pole Sect escaped, had already caused trouble. If this time, a Foundation Establishment cultivator was to take the message back, he would truly become an enemy of the Heavenly Pole Sect.
"Alright, I'll send you back to your hometown!" After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan killed him with a single sword strike.
"Don't blame me for being ruthless, I was forced into this situation!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, looking at the corpse, before burning it to ashes.
After doing all this, Liu Xiaoyuan left Min Dongqing's villa.
Back at the hotel, Liu Xiaoyuan took the wooden box out of his storage bag, opened it, and took out the jade flute. As soon as he held the jade flute in his hand, Liu Xiaoyuan felt an irresistible urge to keep it.
This is a high-grade spiritual artifact; no wonder the Heavenly Extreme Sect values it so much.
After admiring the jade flute for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan released his divine sense to try and enter the space inside the jade flute to see what was different about this high-level spiritual artifact.
The result was that he found that his divine sense could not enter it at all, which was strange. Could it be that his cultivation level was too low?
Liu Xiaoyuan had no choice but to seek help from the God-level Invincible System, reporting his problem to the system. The system said, "Young man, it's because your cultivation level is too low, and it's because this magic weapon is resisting your divine sense from entering."
