Lu Wenxing was naturally the most suitable person to do this kind of thing.
Lu Wenxing looked at this and then at that, momentarily stunned, before bursting into a wide smile.
"I knew it! I had to handle something this important myself!"
He didn't think it was a big deal at all; he just felt extremely proud. He had a kind of "So what if you need something, you'll have to come to me" kind of pride.
The group walked back to the main street in the middle of the loop, to the spot they had been in yesterday.
Lu Wenxing swaggered over to the pancake stall, took out a spirit stone, and handed it to the pancake vendor.
The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then slowly asked, "Sir, would you like to buy some sesame cakes?"
Lu Wenxing raised his head slightly and said arrogantly, "You need spirit stones to buy cakes? I want to buy your furnace!"
An oven for baking flatbread is not a magical artifact and is not worth much at all.
Lu Wenxing took out a mid-grade spirit stone, which was enough to buy not only his furnace, but also all the tools of all the vendors on the street.
The pancake seller didn't seem to understand what Lu Wenxing was saying. Perhaps his routine only included how to deal with people buying pancakes, and not how to sell the oven.
The pancake seller was stunned and had no idea how to react.
Lu Wenxing ignored his reaction, threw down the spirit stone, and immediately put the pancake-selling pot into his storage space.
At that moment, the pancake vendor was completely dumbfounded. He was like a lost soul, not knowing what to do.
"Who dares to cause trouble here!"
Just as the vendor was stunned, a group of guards suddenly appeared out of thin air and surrounded Shi Xuan and his group of five.
This is rather strange. No one was shouting or there was any dispute. How did these guards know about it, and why did they come over?
I've never heard of a market town attracting guards just because a vendor sold his stove, because guards are usually too lazy to bother with such trivial matters.
Even if there were no disputes, as long as it wasn't serious, most guards would pretend not to see it.
Shi Xuan had already come to the conclusion in his mind: the guards were not protecting the security of the streets, but rather the order of the area.
If any outsiders attempt to disrupt this order, they will intervene to stop them or eliminate any potential incidents.
Seeing the guards approaching menacingly, Shi Xuan turned to the leader and smiled, "Brother, you must be mistaken. There's nothing wrong here."
Normally, upon hearing someone say something like that, one would ask a few questions to find out what's going on. However, the guard leader brandished his sword and shouted, "Arrest him!"
Upon hearing this, several of his henchmen immediately attacked Shi Xuan and his group of five, unleashing deadly moves with the first strike, intending to kill them on the spot!
The five men were not about to sit idly by and wait for their doom; they immediately drew their swords and charged forward.
There were ten guards in total, each with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, making them far more formidable than the demonic beasts from last night.
And before figuring out what was going on with the people on the street, Shi Xuan didn't want to involve them.
Five against ten is extremely difficult even for a powerful sword cultivator, especially since there are two Golden Core cultivators among them.
The guards paid no attention to the people around them; they were only focused on eliminating Shi Xuan and his group of five.
Shi Xuan exchanged a glance with Lu Shenzhi, then feinted with his sword and retreated.
Lu Shenzhi immediately followed closely behind, protecting the other three as they moved in the direction Shi Xuan had retreated.
The guards gave chase, and in no time they caught up with Shi Xuan outside the bustling city center, reaching the outermost street.
Wanjian Village consists of only this one area. From the houses outwards, it's not far before you reach the edge, where there seems to be a barrier that makes it impossible to pass through.
Shi Xuan stopped between the boundary and the outermost building. At this moment, the area was open and there were no pedestrians in the way.
Shi Xuan waved his hand and said, "Come out."
In that instant, two three-legged golden crows and a gigantic Taotie appeared out of thin air on the open ground. They were none other than Jin Dada, Jin Duoduo, and Hongmao, who had just woken up.
These few creatures hadn't participated in battles for a long time, and now that they were released, they seemed to be filled with excitement.
When Kim Jong-un saw these people chasing Shi Xuan, he directly spit out a mouthful of solar fire.
Given Jin Dada's current strength, dealing with a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be easy, but unexpectedly, these guards seemed to be terrified of his solar fire.
As Jin Dada's flames approached, the group scattered and fled.
This time, the red-haired creature seemed to have advanced; its fur was even redder. In an instant, the three bright red spirit pets made the battleground seem crowded.
The guards refused to give up on killing Shi Xuan and the others, but they also had to keep dodging the flames spewed out by Jin Dada.
On the other side, Red Hair's fighting power has greatly increased. He has now regained his huge size, like a small mountain. With a single slap, he can create a hurricane, making the entire area shake.
Within moments, the ten Nascent Soul guards lost their composure, turning from the dominant force of the chase into the disadvantaged one.
Under Shi Xuan's command, Lu Wenxing, He Weiqing, and Tang Nong hid behind three spirit pets and attacked outwards under their cover.
Their sword energy seemed to appear randomly to the guards, making it impossible to defend against.
At this moment, Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi's pressure decreased sharply, and they moved around the entire field, attacking the guards.
Shi Xuanfang had three Nascent Soul cultivators, two Golden Core cultivators, and three spirit pets. On the other side were ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
For a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
But the situation quickly reversed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the ten guards suddenly felt a hallucination around them, and everything had completely changed.
If they tried to attack Shi Xuan and the others again, they would be unable to find them!
It's a formation!
The ten guards finally realized they had fallen into the enemy's formation, but they knew nothing about it and could only attack haphazardly, trying to break it with force.
However, at this time, Shi Xuan and Lu Shenzhi had already set up a small-scale rising dragon formation together, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not get the hang of it.
During the battle just now, Shi Xuan could tell that they were terrified of Jin Dada's Sunfire.
As the saying goes, the enemy should be dealt with precisely what they fear most.
Shi Xuan was also curious about their reaction to the sun's fire.
At that moment, Shi Xuan released Jin Dada, which picked one of the guards and suddenly breathed out a mouthful of fire.
That burst of flame was like a cluster of flaming arrows, engulfing him when the guards were off guard.
