The Fat Steward was somewhat surprised to hear that someone wanted to purchase so many Demon Beast Inner Pills right off the bat. It quickly dawned on him that this person was none other than Yun Fan, who had previously bought a considerable amount of Formation Materials from him. It was quite normal for someone like him, who seemed to be a Formation Master, to need such a large quantity of Demon Beast Inner Pills.
With no doubts in his mind, he wore a flattering smile and said, "Please wait a moment, Junior Brother." He promptly retrieved forty Third-Stage Late Monster Inner Pills from the counter and handed them over.
Yun Fan took the pills and examined them carefully. Once he confirmed their authenticity, he paid without hesitation, handing over four thousand eight hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stones. Following that, he purchased a Third-Grade Superior Formation Plate along with some additional Formation Materials, spending over a thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones in total.
By the end of his shopping spree, Yun Fan's storage bag was completely empty. As he prepared to venture into the Xuan Mi Jing, he needed to make some arrangements and began crafting a set of Third-Grade Superior killing formations that could be used against late-stage Xuanjing experts, ensuring his safety within the secret realm.
After placing everything into his Storage Ring, he left the Treasure Pavilion. Exiting the Core Disciple area, Yun Fan headed toward his courtyard. Outside his residence stood a familiar figure—Zhou Da Cong.
"Big Onion!" Yun Fan called out loudly.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Da Cong turned around and spotted Yun Fan approaching. His face lit up with excitement as he walked over slowly.
Yun Fan smiled and nodded. Since arriving in the Core Disciple area, he hadn't seen Zhou Da Cong. However, he noticed that Zhou Da Cong seemed somewhat distracted, with a hint of worry etched on his face as he furrowed his brows. Concerned, Yun Fan asked, "Big Onion, is something wrong?"
Zhou Da Cong sighed softly at Yun Fan's question and decided not to hide anything. With a troubled expression, he replied, "Yun Fan, I've gotten myself into trouble."
"A while ago, I took on a few missions in the Desolate Mountain Range outside the Sect. Everything was going smoothly until I encountered some fellow disciples on the way. Seeing that I had quite a few treasures on me, they attempted to rob me and attacked first."
"I didn't let them off easily and killed them in retaliation. Unfortunately, one managed to escape. At that time, I didn't think much of it; after all, they were the ones who attacked first. Even if they reported me to the Enforcement Hall, they wouldn't have any grounds against me."
"However, one of those I killed was Yang Feng's brother. He has since spread the word that I owe him my life. If it were within the Sect, I wouldn't be worried at all; but since I'm out here training and fear being hunted down by him, I came to you for help with this matter."
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan frowned. It was indeed common for people to kill and rob during their training outside; Zhou Da Cong's retaliation was entirely reasonable under such circumstances.
Even if one were to encounter such individuals, they would still kill them all. Once the thought of murder and treasure-seeking arises, one must be prepared to be killed in return.
However, this Yang Feng is so arrogant; clearly at fault, yet he dares to spread the word that Zhou Da Cong must pay with his life.
With a cold voice, he spoke!
Who is this Yang Feng? Does he not know that I am protecting you?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Da Cong sighed and slowly replied, "Yun Fan, you have been in the Sect for too short a time and may not know this person. Yang Feng was once the strongest in the Inner Sect. Six months ago, he passed the assessment to become a Core Disciple. That is why he has the audacity to threaten me and demand that I pay for his brother's life."
