"After becoming our VIP, you will not only be able to enjoy a 10% discount on every purchase, you'll also be given priority whenever you want to trade at the Hidden Treasure Pavilion !"
As Old Qian spoke, he took out a silver VIP card from his bosom and handed it over to Su Lang.
He only had one membership card, and he had never thought that he would be able to meet anyone who would worth that much to give the card to.
CHAPTER 70 - GRAB EVERYTHING!
"Okay."
Su Lang's Clone nodded and activated his membership card.
"This is the money I'm paying for this deal."
Old Qian took out five Middle-Grade Spiritual Stones and handed them to Su Lang's Clone.
He had already applied for the money when he went to get help to count the items him.
"Very good."
Su Lang's Clone nodded, turned around, and left.
"I look forward to our next deal."
After making this big deal, Old Qian laughed so hard that his face almost cracked.
...
"Looks like the reputation of the Hidden Treasure House is indeed not bad."
In the cave, Su Lang smiled slightly and stored all five Middle-Grade Spiritual Stones into the system. His balance of gold coins immediately increased to a hundred thousand!
"System, upgrade the Clone Dispatch function for me!"
With the funds in place, Su Lang immediately gave the order without any hesitation.
Ding! 100,000 gold coins used, Clone Dispatch function has been upgraded to level 4, number of doppelgangers + 1!"
'Hmm, now is the time for you to pay the price!'
Su Lang smirked. He changed his there clones into different outfits and sent them all to the city.
Although the Ye Family mansion could not be attacked at the moment, they still had many stores to their Name!
What Su Lang wanted to do was to raid all of them!
...
In the north of Red Maple City.
The Ye Family had opened a very popular weapon shop here.
"Attendant, I want to sell weapons..."
"How much is this advanced level Longsword?"
"Boss, how long will it take for me to finish forging this custom-made top level long spear?"
... "
At this moment, the weapons shop was bustling with activity.
The business in the shop was paying quite well. The sales were very rapid and the profit made in a day was usually very huge.
It could be said that this weapon shop was one of the most important sources of income for the Ye Family!
"It feels so good to earn without having to move a limb"
The shopkeeper Ye Du sat behind the counter and was leisurely sipping his tea while casually observing the customers coming in and leaving the store.
Right then, a guest wearing a white cloak walked in.
The man had a long saber hanging by his waist and his steps were smooth. His body emitted the spiritual energy fluctuations of an intermediate martial artist. He was one of Su Lang's clones.
"Welcome, esteemed guest, to the weapons shop of the Ye Family,"
Ye Du stood up as he spoke with a smile on his face.
Intermediate warriors were worth his courtesy so he'd usually welcome them personally
However, White-cloaked Man ignored his words and walked straight towards the extreme of the shop.
At the end of the shop, there was a precious and heavy purple medicinal Longsword.
The purple medicinal Longsword looked very luxurious, and it even emitted faint spiritual aura in waves. It was a flawless spirit artifact!
When the people in the shop saw White-cloaked Man staring closely at the purple Longsword, they immediately began to discuss in surprise.
"What does this man think he's doing?"
"Could it be that he wants to buy this purple spirit sword?"
"How is that possible? The Purple Spirit Sword is a intermediate level spirit artifact. Even if he is an intermediate martial artist, it is impossible for him to afford it!"
"That's right, even the least intermediate level spirit artifact is worth tens of thousands of gold coins, and the Purple Spirit Sword is a top-grade middle-grade spirit artifact. How can he possibly afford it?"
"Well, he is probably enthralled by the sight of it and wants to have a feel of the sword."
While everyone was discussing, Ye Du also came to Su Lang's Clone's side.
"Esteemed guest!"
Ye Du said with a smile, "This Purple Spirit Sword is a top level intermediate spirit weapon, and is worth thirty thousand gold coins!"
Thirty thousand gold coins was definitely an amount that an ordinary martial artists would find difficult to afford.
Ye Du clearly stated the price of the Purple Spirit Sword with the aim of discouraging this man before him from getting closer to the sword
However, his reaction was unexpected
This White-cloaked Man did not break a sweat when the price of thirty thousand gold coins was mentioned, instead he even reached out with his hand to take the Purple Spirit Sword!
Everyone around was bewildered when they saw him reaching out.
"Wait! Mr., the Purple Spirit Sword is not an ordinary weapon. It is not to toyed with!"
Ye Du hurriedly reached out and held the White-cloaked Man by his wrist. "If you wish to look at a weapon that closely, you can pick any weapon other than the the Purple Spirit Sword!
Our Ye Family Weapon Shop is considered one of the best weapon shops in Red Maple City. I believe you will be able to pick a weapon that you'll like!"
"Pick?"
White-cloaked Man's voice was hoarse and cold, "I don't want to pick, I want all of them!"
When he said this, the entire shop fell silent. Everyone was stunned.
They all looked at White-cloaked Man in a daze, as though they had been hit by lightning
After a moment, everyone recovered from their shock and began to give each other a questioning look. Soon enough, they all broke out into heated discussions.
CHAPTER 71 - YOU STILL HAVE TIME, SO GET LOST NOW
"This guy must be crazy!"
"Dear God... the weapons in this shop are worth at least a hundred thousand gold coins! He actually wants to buy all of them?!"
"There must be a few loose screws in that person's brain. But how the hell did he manage to cultivate to the Intermediate Mortal Realm?"
"From my point of view, he probably just came here to cause a ruckus. Why else would he buy everything the store has to offer?"
"He wants to cause a ruckus? Does he not know that this is the weapon shop of the Ye Family? Who would ever dare to make a fuss in such a place? Is he courting death?"
"I believe that the bastard is only trying to get attention by feigning his actual abilities. But to think that he's stupid enough to choose the weapon shop of the Ye Family as the location to do so. If he's lucky, he might only be chased out of the store!"
"......"
The vicinity of the store bustled with heated discussions as everyone shot their disdainful gazes toward the same white-cloaked man.
"Sir, it's completely fine if you want to purchase all the weapons in our shop."
Despite his polite manner of speech, Ye Du nevertheless spoke with a trace of contempt in his eyes, "However, that is only if you can pay
for everything. If you can't pay that much, then get lost!"
He truly did not believe that the white-cloaked man could pay such a large sum of money.
Therefore, he was certain that this person was here to cause trouble.
Although the other party was in the Intermediate Mortal Realm he, Ye Du, was still a member of the main branch of the Ye Family. Let alone afraid of offending a lowly Mortal Realm cultivator, he even dared to tell him to "get lost."
"You want me to get lost?"
The white-cloaked man turned his mocking glare toward Ye Du and muttered, "Why don't you get lost instead? You still have the time to do so."
Dumbfounded by those absurd words, everyone had their mouths wide open as their jaws collapsed to the floor.
A mere cultivator of the Intermediate Mortal Realm actually wants the manager of the Ye Family to get lost from his family's own shop?!
Preposterous! Did that man devour the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?
"Pardon? You're telling me to get lost?"
Ye Du said with a gloomy smile, "To think that you're determined to behave this atrociously in the territory of the Ye Family. Good, very good! Guards!"
With a single roar, four martial cultivators of the Ye Family leaped out from the crowd.
With two of the four martial cultivators in the Intermediate Mortal Realm, they looked at the white-cloaked man with full confidence as a trace of cruelty flashed in their eyes.
In this type of situation, even if someone ended up dead, the martial cultivators of the League of Martial Cultivators responsible for law enforcement would nevertheless turn a blind eye to it!
Who asked the other party to walk into their territory and provoke them first?
"Go, make sure he understands that the Ye Family's dignity and reputation is not to be offended so easily!"
Walking toward the crowd, Ye Du sneered with his head held high and stared down at the white-cloaked man with utter disdain.
"Yes, sir!"
With a single nod, the four martial cultivators unsheathed their weapons.
In an instant, the entire weapon shop was filled with intense killing intent.
The guests in the vicinity stepped aside and waited to witness a good show, or rather, the man's misfortune.
A martial cultivator who managed to reach the Intermediate Mortal Realm was certainly not an ordinary person.
It isn't every day that they would be able to see such a character suffer a huge loss.
"Kill him!"
The four martial cultivators roared like a pack of lions and charged toward the white-cloaked man at the same time. Their attacks were completely in sync as each weapon was aimed at the vital parts of the man's body, leaving him with no chance of survival.
"Surely, this is the end for that man!"
"How cruel of them to gang up on him four-to-one. That man will definitely meet his ends here!"
Upon witnessing such a scene, the same thought flashed through the minds of all the onlookers simultaneously.
In the next moment, on the contrary, their initial thoughts were ruthlessly shattered into pieces.
In the blink of an eye, the blinding light of what seemed to be a blade shrouded in lightning appeared from thin air and instantly slice past the necks of the four Ye Family martial cultivators.
As the four martial cultivator's bodies stiffened, their weapons fell weakly onto the cold, hard ground.
Immediately after, a fountain of blood spurted out from the wounds on their necks uncontrollably. Despite their attempts to stop the bleeding, they could only collapse down helplessly as the gleam of life vanished from their eyes.
The pungent smell of blood quickly enveloped the entire weapon shop.
In that instant, everyone gawked in utter disbelief as if they had seen a ghost.
None of them could believe that the four martial cultivators from the Ye Family were actually killed by a single slash from an unknown cultivator in the Intermediate Mortal Realm.
Furthermore, they could not believe that the white-cloaked man was actually bold enough to kill someone within the city.
Isn't he far too arrogant? Not only did he look down on the Ye Family, but he also practically insulted the authority of the League of Martial Cultivators!
"Quick, let's get out of here! That man is definitely some sort of lunatic!"
"Hurry up and run! Don't block my path! I don't want to be killed!"
"......"
When everyone regained their senses, they bolted outside of the weapon shop in complete fear.
From their perspectives, the white-cloaked man must have lost his mind. They now looked at him as a sinister devil who only knows how to kill. If they continued to remain in the shop, they would definitely die a horrifying death.
Within the span of a few seconds, everyone except for Ye Du and the few blacksmiths had vanished from the store.
CHAPTER 72 - ALL THREE SHOPS WERE ROBBED CLEANED!
"You... you, you! How dare you commit acts of murder in my Ye Family's shop?!"
"Don't you understand the consequences for doing so? You'll be chased no matter where you run to and end up suffering a terrifying death, you absolute madman!"
Ye Du pointed at Su Lang in shock as his entire body trembled uncontrollably as if he was having a seizure.
On the contrary, the white-clocked man withdrew his saber calmly back in its sheathe and picked up the violet spirit sword as if he had done something as significant as crushing a few ants.
"You... you..."
Despite opening his mouth to warn the white-cloaked man to put down the violet spirit sword, Ye Du ended up stuttered in his own words instead and failed to speak any further.
After all, all the guards in the shop have already been killed at this point. How would he dare to stand up to the man alone?
Before he even realized, the white-cloaked man had already started walking toward him!
"What are you trying to do?!"
Ye Du's pupils contracted in horror as he felt a strong sense a fear in his heart.
"Hand over the money and I'll spare your life."
The white-cloaked man's words were clear and concise, yet filled with cold killing intent.
"Yes... of course!"
Looking at the four dead men on the ground, Ye Du naturally did not have the courage nor strength to resist, so he had no choice but to nod his head obediently.
In a flash, Ye Du and the other blacksmiths quickly gathered all the wealth in the shop and handed them to the white-cloaked man with frightened expressions.
Even the materials currently being smelted were taken out from the furnace!
With a single wave of the white-cloaked man's hands, all the gold coins, weapons, and materials vanished into thin air.
This exact scene caused Ye Du and the others' minds to go blank yet again.
After raiding the entire ship, the white-cloaked man left the shop and quickly disappeared into the street.
"Damn that Su Lang! If it wasn't for him, the guards wouldn't have been transferred. How could I possibly have fallen to such a state?"
Looking at the dead Ye Family guards and the raided shop, Ye Du suddenly had the urge to cry, yet no tears were willing to come out.
Who knows how he would feel if he found out that the white-cloaked man was actually Su Lang's clone.
At this moment, a series of messy footsteps reverberated through the air outside.
"Who dares to commit murder in the city?"
"Hand over your weapons immediately and kneel down to surrender!"
"......"
A group of law enforcers from the Union clad in black and gold rushed into the shop.
"He ran away! He's already long gone!"
Ye Du pointed at the street and cried, "Why did you guys only arrive now?"
......
The incident of the Ye Family's weapon shop being raided had shaken the entire Red Maple Stronghold.
Furthermo
re, the same thing happened not just once, but three times!
In the end, the Ye Family's weapon shop, medicinal pill shop, and the headquarters of its trading company had all been wiped clean by the white-cloaked man!
What's worse was that the Union's law enforcers failed to catch him even once!
At this time, the white-cloaked man had already become the hottest topic in the entire city.
......
In the Ye Family Mansion.
"Patriarch, that's exactly what he said!"
A certain martial cultivator knelt on the ground and said nervously.
This man was precisely the martial cultivator who had just rushed back from the Golden Flame Leopard Stronghold to deliver the news.
"What? He's allowing me to enjoy a final good day?"
Sitting on the seat of honor, Ye Feizhang mocked with a sneer on his face, "He is but a mere martial cultivator. How dare he boast so much?"
The messenger knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to answer back.
"Alright, you may leave now."
Ye Feizhang snorted and waved his hand.
Suddenly, loud footsteps could be heard from outside.
Immediately after, a certain martial cultivator in the Advanced Mortal Realm rushed into the hall and exclaimed, "Family Head, something went wrong!"
"Ye Lin? What is it?"
Ye Feizhang revealed a heavy frown. Ye Lin would always remain calm in such situations, so why was he so flustered today?
Ye Lin knelt on the ground with a loud thump and announced, "Family head, our weapon shop, medicinal pill shop, and the headquarters of our trading company in the city have all been robbed clean!"
"What?!"
Ye Feizhang instantly shot up from his seat, his mind in utter disbelief.
The messenger kneeling on the ground was completely taken aback.
"Ye Lin, are you aware of what you're saying right now?"
Ye Feizhang walked down the hall with a shocked yet raging expression. "These three important shops are all located within the city. How could they all be robbed clean?"
Despite knowing full well that Ye Lin would never lie to him, he nevertheless could not accept this absurd reality.
"Family Head, they really were robbed!"
Ye Lin thumped his head against the ground and spoke with a trembling voice, "Moreover, they well all robbed at the exact same time. The ones responsible for the attacks were all mysterious cultivators in the Intermediate Mortal Realm clad in pure white!"
