With Zhang Shaozhong embracing two women, it didn't look like they were going to fight; it was clearly a midnight drive.
He didn't even bother using his escape technique, relying solely on the powerful physique of a Golden Core cultivator to leap between rooftops with incredible speed, like a ghost.
"Husband, do you think those people might have set a trap for us?"
Night Enchantress breathed into his ear, her voice full of excitement, without a trace of fear.
What are you afraid of?
Zhang Shaozhong didn't care at all. "Faced with absolute strength, all traps are paper tigers! Besides, what traps could possibly hold us back?"
Ling Qingxue was held around the waist by him. Although she was a little unaccustomed to this "way of traveling", she did not struggle.
Following that faint sense, the three of them quickly arrived at an old urban area on the outskirts of the city that was slated for demolition.
The streetlights here are dim, the houses are dilapidated, and there are hardly any people around; it's definitely a good place to do bad things.
That chilling aura emanated from a solitary two-story building standing amidst the ruins.
The three landed silently on the roof of a nearby building and observed from above.
The small building was dimly lit, and a few figures could be vaguely seen.
"One, two, three... five people."
Ye Meier, with her keen eyesight, lowered her voice and said, "Besides that hermaphrodite at the auction house, there are four others, all with considerable aura. One of them, an old man... seems close to Foundation Establishment?"
Zhang Shaozhong also sensed it. There were five people inside. Four of them were at the mid-to-late stage of Qi Refining, and the other was an old man wearing a black robe who was as thin as a stick. His aura was significantly stronger, and he was probably at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, with one foot in Foundation Establishment.
In this degenerate age, he can be considered a minor expert.
"Wow, that's quite a lineup."
Zhang Shaozhong clicked his tongue, "They've really gone all out for a piece of iron."
Ling Qingxue sensed for a moment and said softly, "There are faint array fluctuations inside the building. They seem to be for concealing one's presence and for early warning purposes, and they don't have much destructive power."
That's it?
Night Enchantress pouted in disappointment, "I thought it would be something amazing! It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap!"
Zhang Shaozhong stroked his chin, a mischievous grin spreading across his face: "Wouldn't it be more fun to just charge in and start fighting? Let's give them a surprise!"
He gestured for the two women to come closer, and they whispered something to each other.
Night Enchantress's eyes lit up as she listened, and she nodded repeatedly, "Fun! This is fun!"
Ling Qingxue frowned slightly, seemingly finding it a bit...childish?
But seeing Zhang Shaozhong's enthusiastic expression, he finally gave a soft "hmm".
Inside the small building.
The effeminate young man, the one who appeared at the auction, respectfully said to the black-robed elder, "Master, I've confirmed it. The aura of that iron plaque disappeared in this area. They must have sensed our mark and come looking for us!"
The old man in black robes closed his eyes, his withered fingers tapping the armrest of his chair. His voice was hoarse: "To be able to easily produce such valuables, and to have such skilled guards by his side, they must be of extraordinary origin. That iron plaque is a fragment of a sacred artifact of the sect, and it cannot be lost. If they break into the formation later, you all follow the plan and make sure to kill them with one blow and retrieve the sacred artifact!"
"Yes!" the other three Qi Refining stage cultivators replied in unison, their eyes fierce.
The "Yin Sha Sect" they belong to is a small, heretical sect with a long history. They have always kept several ancestral black iron plaques, which are said to contain the secrets to becoming an immortal, but no one in history has been able to decipher them.
Not long ago, a traitor in the sect stole an iron plaque and fled. He was a black market robber who died at the hands of Zhang Shaozhong and his gang.
A second piece appeared at today's auction, and they were determined to win it, but unexpectedly, Zhang Shaozhong snatched it away.
Just as they were bracing themselves for a fierce battle...
Bang! Crash—!
Suddenly, a window on one side of the building was smashed by something, and a round, smoking object was thrown in!
"Watch out! Hidden weapon!"
The effeminate young man exclaimed in surprise.
Several people instinctively tried to dodge or defend themselves.
The "hidden weapon" fell to the ground, spun around a few times, and then stopped—it turned out to be...an alarm clock?
There's also a cartoon cat dancing on top.
? ? ?
Everyone was stunned.
Immediately afterwards, the alarm clock rang deafeningly: "Dad's dad is called grandpa! Dad's mom is called grandma..."
The catchy children's songs instantly filled the entire building!
The old man in black robes: "..."
The effeminate young man: "..."
The believers: "..."
What the hell is going on?!
Just as they were momentarily disoriented by this sudden "psychological attack"!
boom!
A huge hole suddenly exploded in the wall on the other side of the building!
Amidst the flying debris, Zhang Shaozhong charged in first, a smug grin on his face: "Surprise! You little brats, grandpa's here!"
Behind him, Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier followed closely in like two phantoms.
"Oh no! We've fallen for their trap!"
The old man in black robes reacted the fastest. He shouted and black energy surged around him. A withered hand, like a ghost claw, reached out to grab Zhang Shaozhong!
That aura was indeed much stronger than that of someone in the Qi Refining stage!
"Old man, your opponent is me!" Ye Meier chuckled, her figure flashing like a ghost. Without using any magic, she directly punched the ghost claw!
Fists and claws collided with a muffled thud!
A shockwave erupted!
The old man in black robes felt an incomparably domineering force come over him, which made his blood and qi surge, and he took three steps back, his face full of horror!
How can this woman possess such terrifying physical strength?!
On the other side, Zhang Shaozhong was already facing off against the effeminate young man and two other Qi Refining stage cultivators.
