Yun Fan noticed the innkeeper's concerns and quickly waved his hand, pulling out a spirit stone from his storage bag. He spoke loudly, "I am not a malicious person. Since I caused the damage, I will compensate for it. This spirit stone is enough to cover the cost of this inn." After saying this, he tossed the stone to the innkeeper.
He then walked aside, led out his Chasing Wind Horse, mounted it, and rode off along the official road, disappearing from the crowd's sight.
The innkeeper looked at the spirit stone in his hand and then at the departing young man, feeling a deep sense of admiration. It was rare to see someone with such strength and a chivalrous heart. For someone like him, destroying an inn was nothing; even if they were killed, no one would dare to say anything.
The onlookers, seeing the inn in ruins, lost interest in staying any longer and decided to catch up with the merchant caravan. After all, no one knew if more trouble was on the way. If another battle broke out and they got caught up in it, it would be a senseless death.
Yun Fan rode his Chasing Wind Horse along the road, moving forward slowly. After swallowing a Third-Grade Healing Pill, the injuries in his waist and abdomen stabilized, though they still hurt quite a bit. That night had been perilously close; he almost lost his life.
From now on, he vowed to be cautious while traveling and never act so recklessly again. He opened the black-clad man's storage bag and examined its contents closely, only to be taken aback. There were over fifty thousand spirit stones piled inside, causing his breath to quicken.
He hadn't expected this black-clad man to be so wealthy, carrying more than fifty thousand spirit stones with him. Just like that, he had become rich.
Upon further inspection, he found various other items inside, most of which were valuable. Among them was a token that he picked up for a closer look. The token was adorned with various patterns, and in the center were three large characters: Shadow Tower.
As he gazed at those three characters, he felt a momentary daze as some memories surfaced in his mind. The Shadow Tower was an assassin organization known for its immense power; as long as one paid them, they would dare to kill anyone.
No wonder this person came to assassinate him; it was clearly someone from the Li Family or the Liu Family who had issued the assassination order. However, he never expected that he had already broken through to True Essence Realm Level Four, and his strength was no longer what it used to be. He thought he was still at the True Essence Realm level, which is why this person came to assassinate him and ended up stumbling.
He silently exclaimed in relief, "That was close!" Fortunately, he had broken through to the True Essence Realm Mid Stage. Had he still been at his previous cultivation level, he would have undoubtedly fallen today, perhaps not even surviving the first strike.
However, a smile appeared on Yun Fan's face. His life was worth fifty thousand spirit stones; the Liu Family and the Li Family were truly wealthy. Now all of that would go into his pocket, enough for him to cultivate for a while.
What Yun Fan did not know was that this fifty thousand spirit stones was only half of the reward; the other half would be given after he was successfully assassinated. If Yun Fan knew that he was worth a hundred thousand spirit stones, he would probably have been unable to resist offering himself up willingly.
Riding through the night on horseback, he sped towards Fanyang City.
The next day!
After a night of travel, Yun Fan finally arrived outside Fanyang City. There were quite a few people around, gradually entering the city. However, most of them were ordinary folks, with only a handful being cultivators. Even those who could cultivate were merely at the early to mid stages of Refining Body.
Fanyang City was just a small town, with only a few respectable families inside. The Yun Family branch here could be considered dominant.
