Chapter 44: Anti-Wolf Device

  Only saw the middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  A wise glint flashed in his eyes, and he didn't expect that someone would cause trouble shortly after he arrived.

  From start to finish, he stood on the attic and saw clearly, then turned around to look at Du Lao Da and asked: "What did you do to offend that little one?"

  Du Lao Da clenched his teeth and said: "I don't know, but he must be a competitor sent to kick us out."

  A middle-aged man took two slow steps forward, his eyes cold and stern. "Locally, your Du family's business is unmatched, so there shouldn't be any competitors. Moreover, with my Qingyun Sect protecting you from inside and out, no one dares to challenge us. Forget it! I'll go meet that young whippersnapper myself."

  Having said that, he walked down the stairs step by step, and the martial artists followed him out with stern expressions.

  Only the black-haired white-robed man remained motionless in the darkness, like a jade carving.

  When Du Lao Da left, he couldn't help but take a glance at the man in black. He had been curious about him since the first time they met. This person was always quiet and taciturn, yet middle-aged people showed great respect for him. The man had a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be flowing with secret silver in the dark, his body wrapped in layers of mist, hiding ancient beauty within, exuding a cold aura, giving off an otherworldly feeling.

  But that inadvertently exposed strand of white hair made it impossible for him to guess his opponent's age.

  This person's temperament has a kind of soul-absorbing power, mysterious, extremely mysterious.

  The rooftop, cool as water at night, stars twinkling.

  Xia Feng raised an eyebrow and said: "Young master, things are not going well. Now if someone is to rescue the beauty, it can only be you."

  Yu Ran's phoenix eyes flowed like waves, and she lazily lowered her eyelids, smiling as she said, "Oh? Why?"

  Xia Feng sighed, "This time, a deputy sect master of the Qingyun Sect has personally taken action. This person should be at the peak of the Tempering Body stage and possesses an extremely powerful magical artifact. Dealing with someone like this is quite troublesome. What qualifications does that demoness have to exchange blows with him?"

  Yu Ran's eyes drooped slightly, her thin lips curled up into a beautiful arc. "Don't worry, people like that won't take action easily."

  Xia Feng couldn't help but think that Ran Gongzi was really strange, Ran Gongzi seemed to be worried about the demon girl, yet he was also very confident, which was truly contradictory.

  Thinking of this, Xiaofeng murmured: "It's just a pity that I think she's more evil than good!"

  As soon as everyone arrived downstairs, they saw the "young man" sitting calmly and naturally, with a gentle expression on his face, and even changed to a very comfortable and elegant posture. His eyes looked at the middle-aged man opposite him, "Are you the one in charge?"

  This move raised the middle-aged man's eyebrows, "Youngster, why are you here causing trouble?"

  Su Mo's mouth curled up in a cold, enigmatic smile, and the crowd only felt a burst of dazzling light before his voice, like gold and jade, rang out. "Because they deserve to be kicked out. The Du family has been tyrannical in this land, yet their business practices are far from upright. They traffic people, force good women into prostitution - that's inhumane. They operate opium dens, smuggle contraband - that's unjust. This young master thinks the Du family doesn't deserve to be the commercial leader of this region, and isn't worthy of Qingyun Sect's esteem."

  The middle-aged man heard that the other party was knowledgeable and came from a good background, and still expressionless said: "Is the young master trying to replace heaven and do what is right but can't? There are indeed people in this world who replace heaven and do what is right, but if they don't have the ability, it's not possible. Otherwise, they would all die very early. Is this your purpose for coming here?"

  He stared at Su Mo, knowing that he wouldn't be doing this for such an unrealistic purpose.

  Su Mo's expression was enchanting, her red lips slightly parted, "Of course not."

  "What is that?"

  "In this place, I can make my family replace the Du Clan and cooperate with the Qingyun Sect."

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's face immediately turned gloomy, feeling that this young man was really not decent. This matter is no small thing, without a big shot personally showing up, he actually came alone to kick the hall, it seems that this move is just the ignorance of a naive youngster. The Qingyun Sect is a major sect under the hidden door, and the nobles in the world flock to the sect. The people around are either rich or noble, how can they cooperate with others so easily?

  This young man's family is probably jealous of the Du family's business and wants to take a shortcut, but doesn't know that they are far from qualified.

  He had thought that young man was bold and resourceful, exceptionally talented, but it turned out he was just a fool pretending to be wise.

  He muttered a word of stupidity, his eyes looked down and said: "So you came to kick the hall for this kind of thing? Do you think your family has something that surpasses others? Unfortunately, my Qingyun Sect has been cooperating with the Du family very well, and the Du family's business is inseparable from the prosperity of this place. Can your family do it?"

  Su Mo's lips curled up slightly, and he let out a soft snort.

  The middle-aged man frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"

  Her dark, mysterious eyes sparkled with color as she said lightly: "I'm laughing at those who have short-sighted views and don't know the right way to do business. They actually think that casinos, brothels, drugs, smuggling, and human trafficking are the reasons why this place is thriving?"

  The business hub of any place lies in the needs of the people for food, clothing, shelter and transportation. If casinos and brothels are considered as a great plan for business prosperity, it is absurd to the extreme.

  Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes sank, but instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, "Young one, I ask you, how did you know the number of dots on the dice just now?"

  Su Mo spoke slowly and calmly, "There are two methods. The first is to use your ears to distinguish the sound, and the second is that if the Refiner knows the layout of the isolation divine sense formation, he can find a loophole from it and see the number of dots on the dice inside through his divine sense."

  "So, which one do you belong to?" the middle-aged man asked.

  "Either is fine." Su Mo said confidently.

  "This young man actually claims to be an alchemist? The middle-aged man gazed at her deeply, and suddenly his eyes chilled as he said: 'You're very bold.'"

  His words were not praise, but threats and disdain.

  Du Lao's smile was cold as he said, "This young man is truly ignorant. He thinks that just because he's a master equipment refiner, he's very capable?"

  If a young man could persuade some small sects or factions, it might be possible, but any powerful and influential sect would have long since collaborated with the alchemists.

  Although equipment refiners are extremely rare, they are also divided into three six nine grades. Of course, a powerful sect like Qingyun Sect has two third-grade equipment refiners within its own doors. The renowned Xia family will occasionally cooperate with Qingyun Sect as well. In short, Qingyun Sect's standards are far from ordinary. Equipment refiners below the third grade don't even need to be looked at twice, and other self-recommended equipment refiners are even more unworthy of consideration!

  The middle-aged man's gaze narrowed, and he finally said, "Very well, you have the qualifications of a Refiner."

  Su Mo leaned slightly, a smile blooming on her lips like a poppy flower, "Not yet."

  The middle-aged man's face was still stern, and he said coldly: "Kid! A true equipment refiner would never self-recommend, even a first-rate equipment refiner would have many sects vying for them. I reckon you're just some wild kid who learned from who-knows-where. Since you came prepared and claim to be an equipment refiner, then come with me and exchange a few moves. Let's see what kind of extraordinary equipment you have!"

  Of course, Su Mo dared to come, naturally he was well-prepared.

  She lowered her eyes, and a bright smile spread across her lips.

  "Not bad, I've indeed personally refined two magical instruments, please take a look!"

  "Foolish." The middle-aged man sneered and the people around him immediately retreated, he had already taken out a golden box from his bosom.

  At this time, he was no longer prepared to show mercy. Since this young man was so bold, he would let him know the consequences of kicking the hall.

  At this moment, every warrior around him looked at Su Mo with envy and solemnity, their gaze like they were looking at a dying man.

  But as the lid of the golden box opened, a dazzling gold light flashed out, and then the gold slowly separated, inch by inch, shining brightly in the air, surrounding the middle-aged man. In an instant, it transformed into twenty or more golden short swords!

  Flying Sword! A complete set of magical instruments!

  Middle-aged people are giving Su Mo a show of strength, and they have already taken out their ultimate move from the beginning.

  This proves that Qingyun Sect fundamentally looks down on ordinary alchemy masters.

  Yu Ran's expression changed slightly, he had already sensed from the spiritual energy in the air that each of these golden short swords was a sword technique. When used, it would be equivalent to the strength of a mid-stage Body Tempering martial artist. These twenty golden flying swords were equivalent to twenty Body Tempering stage martial artists simultaneously using the Flying Sword Technique.

  Unimaginable power, irresistible, absolutely powerful!

  Xia Feng's lips were pursed into a line, staring intently, "The people of Qingyun Sect are indeed formidable, really formidable."

  Yu Ran's eyes narrowed at this moment, and she put away the Bone Fan, ready to strike at any time.

  With a loud shout, a flash of cold light, under the command of the middle-aged man's divine consciousness, eight golden small swords were mobilized first, coming from all sides and rushing towards Su Mo with a momentum that could break through bamboo.

  Su Mo smiled slightly, slowly raised her eyes, and lightly lifted her fingertips.

  Only to see a dozen or so flying needles appear in her sleeves, followed by several silver glints flashing around her body, quickly weaving a strange silver web.

  Several flashes of silver light transformed into fine, dense, silver small snakes, rapidly advancing towards the golden short sword.

  What? Flying needles? They're also a set of magical tools?

  Watching the flying needle appear, the middle-aged man's face showed surprise, but various rumors about the flying needle floated in his mind.

  The flying needle appears ordinary, but because it is easy to hide and extremely fast, it has always been a hidden weapon in the law, also known as the legendary poisonous law.

  Although the flying needle's attack power is far inferior to that of the flying sword, due to its small size, it is impossible to engrave complex spiritual arrays inside. Moreover, as a set of flying needles must be engraved with a complete spell in one breath, there can't be any deviation, otherwise, it would be difficult to cast consistently and extremely challenging to refine. Currently, no refiner has been able to easily refine them.

  If the divine consciousness is not strong enough, and the spiritual array diagram is not drawn perfectly, it will be difficult to match, so the difficulty of refining it is a hundred times that of other magical instruments. This type of magical instrument is extremely rare in the market, and it's priceless.

  It is said that people who possess the Flying Needle technique usually regard it as their trump card and will never sell it.

  Someone like him who possesses a fourth-grade artifact is already enviable, let alone getting this legendary flying needle.

  At this moment of great emotion, he did not know that Su Mo's flying needles were actually used to guard against "wolves".

  And that "wolf" was on the rooftop across from us.
