Chapter 18 Wang Chan's Shame
After a long drive, several hours later, as darkness fell, the three of them arrived safely at Yan Family Fort.
The city was bustling with activity, with mortals and cultivators coming and going, street performances were lively, and the city was filled with lights and a vibrant atmosphere.
Dong Xuan'er's nature was hard to change; she continued to use her seductive arts on passing cultivators along the way, indulging in unrestrained pleasure.
Upon seeing this, Han Li quickly stepped forward and whispered to Dong Xuan'er, "Don't use your charm techniques carelessly, lest you offend the wrong people."
Dong Xuan'er, however, said nonchalantly, "The person in this world whom I, Dong Xuan'er, cannot afford to offend has not yet been born."
Han Li was speechless after hearing Dong Xuan'er's words.
Seeing this, Mu Chunfeng calmly said, "Junior Brother Han, please take good care of Junior Sister Dong. If you can't handle it, then I will step in."
Han Li nodded helplessly.
As Han Li turned his head, he caught sight of the Mo Family Medical Clinic on the side of the street. He paused, lost in thought.
Mu Chunfeng followed his gaze and instantly recalled Han Li and Mo Caihuan's past relationship. Recalling her memories of her previous life, she felt a pang of emotion and stood quietly to the side without disturbing him.
Suddenly, Dong Xuan'er's voice came over: "Senior Brother Han, are you coming or not? And Senior Brother Mu, what are you standing there for? Do you brothers need to be so united? What's so interesting about standing there without moving?"
The two then continued on their way.
Because of his cultivation of the "Great Evolution Technique," Mu Chunfeng's divine sense had already approached the early stage of Core Formation. Without making a sound, he sensed the sinister aura and hidden murderous intent of a masked man at the end of the street. He immediately guessed that this person should be Wang Chan of the Ghost Spirit Sect. However, he remained calm and silently followed him.
When the three arrived at the place to register their names and receive their pass tokens, Han Li was about to step forward to write down his name when Dong Xuan'er secretly used magic to write down all three of their real names.
Han Li put down his pen with a sense of helplessness and looked back at Dong Xuan'er, who pretended to be indifferent.
Han Li smiled wryly and silently accepted the token. He was then informed by the cultivators from Yan Family Fort that the city's protective array would be activated before the treasure hunt began, which would suppress the cultivators' cultivation levels.
At this moment, Wang Chan was on the steps not far from the three of them. His gaze fell on Dong Xuan'er, and then he was thinking about something to himself.
Mu Chunfeng lowered her head and held her breath, pretending not to notice anything.
After Han Li cultivated the "Great Evolution Technique," his divine sense greatly increased, and he keenly caught that staring gaze. He immediately pulled Dong Xuan'er away quickly.
Upon arriving at the inn in the city, only one Class B room remained.
Dong Xuan'er was spoiled and willful, and immediately lost her temper, arguing with Han Li. In a fit of anger, she stormed off alone.
Mu Chunfeng patted Han Li on the shoulder: "No need to get angry. She was spoiled by her senior sister Hong Fu since childhood, so she's naturally arrogant. I'll secretly follow her, and you can wander around as you please."
He took on this troublesome task voluntarily, intending to give Han Li and Mo Caihuan more time to spend together.
After witnessing the treacherous battles of the cultivation world, he admired even more the pure emotions between mortals and cultivators.
Meanwhile, Dong Xuan'er went to the second floor of the inn alone and happened to meet two cultivators who were drinking. She immediately used her charm to bewitch them.
The two men were instantly captivated by her allure, drinking and making merry around her, showering her with flattery.
Just as Dong Xuan'er was enjoying this sense of control, she suddenly caught sight of Han Li and Mo Caihuan strolling side by side downstairs. Jealousy welled up inside her, and she slammed her wine glass down and got up to go downstairs.
Han Li, who was downstairs, vaguely heard the noise on the second floor. He looked up and saw Mu Chunfeng sitting on the roof, waving at him gently, indicating that he didn't need to pay attention.
Han Li pondered for a moment, nodded in understanding, and continued his leisurely chat with Mo Caihuan.
In the blink of an eye, a sudden change occurred.
Wang Chan quietly appeared on the second floor, knocked out two cultivators, grabbed Dong Xuan'er with one hand, and was about to take her into the room.
Seeing this, Mu Chunfeng stopped watching and leaped off the roof. His movements were as light as a ghost. With a flick of his finger, he sent a talisman that immobilized Wang Chan straight to her back.
Wang Chan was completely focused on Dong Xuan'er and was caught off guard. By the time she sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy, the immobilization talisman had already firmly adhered to her body.
To prevent any accidents, Mu Chunfeng added five more immobilization talismans, fearing that Wang Chan might have some secret technique or treasure that would allow her to break free of the restraints.
He quickly weighed the options in his mind: Wang Chan was followed by a Core Formation stage guard. If he killed him, he would definitely not be able to escape, but he could not let him take Dong Xuan'er away from here.
With a sudden thought, Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up.
He then changed into a black outfit to conceal his appearance and figure. Taking advantage of Wang Chan's immobility due to being sealed off, he quietly went forward to settle the unconscious Dong Xuan'er, left a note, and then picked up Wang Chan with one hand and left the room, disappearing into a secluded dark alley.
Wang Chan was facing Mu Chunfeng. Although she could neither move her body nor speak, the bulging veins on her head showed her extreme anger.
Mu Chunfeng turned Wang Chan's body around so that he was facing the end of the alley, and then stripped him of his storage bag and clothes, leaving him with nothing to cover his shame.
Then he kicked Wang Chan hard in the butt, applied five more immobilization talismans, changed back into his own clothes, and left the place.
After asking around among the ordinary people in the city, he found the tunnel that led out of the city and then left Yan Family Fort through the tunnel.
After traveling for a while, Mu Chunfeng arrived outside the city.
He opened Wang Chan's storage bag, which contained top-grade magic artifacts, tens of thousands of spirit stones, as well as a dazzling array of talismans, pills, and array flags. Mu Chunfeng was dazzled by the sight and couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how many treasures this kid had.
Although Mu Chunfeng was filled with greed, in order to prevent Wang Chan from tracking him down through these things, he still reluctantly ran a long way to bury the storage bag, and buried the magic artifacts and array flags separately in different places.
As for the spirit stones, Mu Chunfeng accepted them directly. He had never seen anyone track the restrictions on spirit stones before.
However, just to be on the safe side, Mu Chunfeng put those spirit stones and pills into a separate storage bag and placed it a few miles away from him, within his divine sense range.
In that case, if Wang Chan fails to track him down, it will be convenient for him to take it directly.
He then returned to the tunnel exit, intending to wait there quietly until the next day.
After all, Mu Chunfeng knew very well that tomorrow's Yan Family Fortress would be a large-scale blood sacrifice, and he had no intention of joining in the fun.
An hour later, in a dark alley in Yanjiabao, a furious roar suddenly rang out, its sound echoing throughout half the city.
A passerby who came to investigate was instantly swallowed up and pulled into the dark, pervasive blood cloud.
Before long, a figure wearing the clothes of the passerby flew out and quickly disappeared into the distance; it was Wang Chan, who had suffered endless humiliation.
A moment later, three powerful beams of light shot into the sky, and two Core Formation elders escorted Wang Chan away at high speed. During their flight, they passed right over Mu Chunfeng's head.
At this moment, Mu Chunfeng was wearing a concealing talisman, completely hiding his aura in the shadows, and a cold sweat was breaking out on his brow.
Fortunately, I didn't covet those treasures back then. After all, Wang Chan was a descendant of a Nascent Soul cultivator. With my current level of spiritual cultivation, I might not be able to detect everything that had been tampered with by him.
Thinking of Wang Chan's furious and frustrated state, yet she hadn't even seen her enemy's face clearly, Mu Chunfeng couldn't help but chuckle to himself, feeling extremely pleased.
Meanwhile, inside the inn in Yanjiabao.
Han Li returned after bidding farewell to Mo Caihuan and saw two unconscious cultivators on the second floor. He immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed into the room. He found Dong Xuan'er sleeping on the bed and, after checking on her, discovered that she was not in any danger.
A note lay on the bedside table, reading: "Junior Brother Han, Junior Sister Dong, I encountered demonic cultivators and went to investigate. Be extra careful at tomorrow's treasure hunt. Demonic cultivators have already infiltrated the city. —Mu Chunfeng"
After reading it, Han Li's expression turned serious, and he quickly woke up Dong Xuan'er.
At first, Dong Xuan'er didn't take it seriously, but feeling her body weak and remembering the strangeness of her inexplicable coma, she reluctantly agreed to leave as early as possible the next day after Han Li's repeated persuasion.
Han Li was wary and wished he could set off that very night. He recalled the unfortunate times he had spent with Mu Chunfeng in the past. This treasure hunt was originally intended to retaliate against Mu Chunfeng for his exorbitant demands in the trade for the "Great Evolution Technique".
Unexpectedly, trouble has arisen again just as he arrived here. Unfortunately, he couldn't go against Dong Xuan'er's wishes and had no choice but to compromise for the time being.
