Chapter 1680

As the shopkeeper, he was well aware of the weight of Zi Chen's name.

Back then, before the invasion of the foreign races, he had already heard of this name and had sent people to secretly monitor him.

Although he didn't know the real reason why the family was paying attention to Zi Chen, he could tell from the news that the family wanted to kill Zi Chen.

In fact, several operations against Zi Chen had been planned from this shop.

The shopkeeper had never seen Zi Chen before, but this name was like thunder to his ears. At this moment, when he heard that Zi Chen had introduced himself and asked for all the goods, he knew that something was wrong.

It was obvious that Zi Chen's demand was not based on the usual method of purchasing.

Even if he bought, how could Zi Chen's wealth compare to this shop?

How could he buy everything in the shop?

The female cultivator from before was stunned.

Although she hadn't been in this shop for long, it didn't prevent her from hearing the name Zi Chen.

He was the number one on the Soldier Ranking, the greatest glory of this city.

Although in private, people said that Zi Chen was lucky, she insisted that luck was also a kind of strength.

She wasn't from the Wang family, so she naturally didn't know about the conflict between Zi Chen and the Wang family. At this moment, she just stared at Zi Chen in a daze, unable to hide her excitement.

Zi Chen was definitely a big shot here, and not everyone could see him.

"Old man, please make way."

Zi Chen glanced at the shopkeeper and guessed something from his constantly changing expression and attitude. Fortunately, he didn't hold back.

How could a mere seventh-tier cultivator be Zi Chen's opponent? He stepped forward, grabbed the shopkeeper, and threw him out without any mercy.

The other customers around, hearing Zi Chen's name, were so scared that they didn't dare to move, let alone stop him.

After throwing the shopkeeper out and finding that no one moved, Zi Chen turned to look at the three women, a little puzzled.

The three of them looked at Zi Chen without saying a word.

Obviously, in such a situation where everyone was looking at them, it would be very detrimental to their image to let the three delicate beauties do the dry cleaning.

Delicate.

Zi Chen was skeptical when he used these words on the three women.

The Wang Clan's shop wasn't small. It would take him a long time to search it all by himself. Moreover, there was definitely a treasure trove here. There were many things piled up inside.

Even though there were four people in his team, they might not be faster than Man Shi and the others.

Thus, he turned around and smiled faintly. "Cultivating every day and dressing up appropriately isn't a bad idea. There should be many good things here that suit you."

The three of them weren't idiots. Of course they wouldn't believe it. Moreover, how could there be anything suitable for their level in such a run-down place?

Zi Chen continued, "Of course, there's no equipment that suits you, but there are plenty of small accessories. If you're lucky, you might be able to find something that can help you maintain your youthful appearance."

The three calm women's expressions changed slightly.

No woman could resist the temptation of beauty, especially those beautiful women. Even if they knew that the possibility of getting something good here was not high, they still moved.

The woman was very meticulous, so the search went very smoothly.

"Who are you? Get out of the way!"

During this time, some shop guards also rushed over. However, most of them were in the late stage of the seventh tier, so they couldn't do anything.

With a wave of his sleeve, Zi Chen directly swept away the people who came over.

It was really too easy for him, who was at the peak of the eighth tier, to ransack this place.

"Why haven't the city guards come yet?" The shopkeeper stood together with the other shop staff, looking somewhat anxious.

One had to know that many of those guards had close ties with the Wang Clan. At this moment, when they heard the alarm, they should have arrived long ago.

However, the shopkeeper didn't know that the alarm was not only ringing in his shop. The alarm was also ringing in the other four shops.

As long-established forces, the other four shops occupied more advantageous positions. Relatively speaking, the guards arrived first.

However, it was useless. However many people rushed in, they would be thrown out. How could they, who had just entered the ninth tier, be a match for the experienced guards?

"Damn it, this is rebellion, rebellion. Men, gather all the guards in the city."

The leader of the guards who was thrown out crawled up and said with a livid expression.

Because the city was lost last time, the city lord couldn't absolve himself from the blame. As a result, this city didn't have a new city lord, so the leader of the guards had a lot of power.

In front of so many seventh tier cultivators, they were thrown out by two eighth tier cultivators. It was really embarrassing.

For a moment, all kinds of signals were shot into the sky, and all the guards in the city moved.

A ninth tier guard looked at the shop in front of him and said, "Sir, what should we do now? Are we going to let them ransack it?"

The leader of the guards said unhappily, "What else can we do? Didn't you see the corpses on the ground just now? If we go in again, we'll die."

"Then …" The guard's expression changed. Obviously, he knew that this shop had a strong background.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to get out." The leader of the guards was very confident.

All the nine layers of guards in the city began to move, each of them surging with killing intent as they flew in the direction of the five shops.

When the other cultivators in the city saw this, they also curiously surrounded them.

"What happened?"

"I don't know."

"It seems like someone ransacked the shops."

"It's the foreign race."

"No, it's said that it's Zi Chen, the first on the Soldier Ranking."

"Zi Chen? How is this possible? Why is he ransacking human shops?"

More and more cultivators rushed over. When they heard that Zi Chen had ransacked the shops, they all found it hard to believe.

However, looking at the guards outside the shops who only surrounded them and didn't attack, they could guess that it was indeed Zi Chen.

Only Zi Chen, who was now first on the Soldier Ranking and 655th on the General Ranking, could make so many guards afraid.

Wu Xie and Man Shi spent a full 60 minutes, beating, killing, and threatening at the same time, taking away everything in the Zhao Family's shop.

In addition to the interspatial bags that they had on them, they had enough to take away everything in the shop.

When they walked out of the shop and saw the ninth tier guards, Man Shi snorted in disdain.

Although they were all in the ninth tier, they might not have all advanced here. Some of them came in at the ninth tier and didn't really fight with the foreign race. As for their real combat power, they were not even comparable to some eighth tier cultivators.

The murderous aura around him surged, and the guards' expressions changed drastically. They subconsciously stepped back with pale faces.

Man Shi followed Wu Xie and walked forward. Five of them dared to stop him.

Shuntian and the others were not slow either. As soon as Man Shi and Zhao Jiuge walked over, they saw the two of them walking out of the shop.

They didn't need to use their spiritual senses to know where Zi Chen was, so they walked to the next shop surrounded by guards.

They didn't dare to make a move when there were only two of them. Now that everyone was gathered together, the guards didn't dare to make a move rashly.

Soon, the eight of them gathered and walked to the shop where the Wang Family was.

At this time, the three girls had just finished collecting the items in the shop, and Zi Chen was still asking for the location of the treasure vault.

Thinking back to the guards who were easily thrown out, everyone trembled and didn't have the slightest determination to resist.

Many guards appeared, but they didn't dare to come in. They just surrounded the shop, obviously afraid.

If even the guards were afraid, how could they not be afraid?

However, the old shopkeeper of the Wang Family was very stubborn. He gritted his teeth and didn't say anything. His gaze was fixed on Zi Chen.

"Do you still need to ask? Just search his soul." At this moment, the Dark Mantle and the others walked in.

For a moment, the murderous aura in the hall became very dense. Some people who were worried directly fell to the ground in fright.

After the Dark Mantle came in, they directly grabbed the old shopkeeper and began to search his soul by force.

A blood-curdling scream was heard. The old shopkeeper's whole body was trembling involuntarily.

Looking at the old shopkeeper and the cold and emotionless expression of the Dark Mantle, the female practitioner felt that compared to these latecomers, Zi Chen, who was first on the Soldier Ranking, was very kind in his conduct.

The scream lasted for a full minute before the Dark Mantle threw the old shopkeeper away. The latter's eyes were dull, like a soulless zombie.

"This old thing is really bad. During this period, he gathered people to scheme against you several times. They were all quite insidious. Moreover, this is a stronghold. Those people from the Wang Family who schemed against you are all staying here." The Dark Mantle said indifferently.

Many people's expressions changed when they heard this. Only now did they understand that there was actually another reason for Zi Chen to suddenly come and rob.

Then, the Dark Mantle turned and went deeper into the shop. Obviously, he was going to retrieve the items in the treasury.

After a while, the Dark Mantle returned and nodded at Zi Chen.

The group of twelve people turned and walked out of the shop.

At this moment, over a hundred guards of the ninth level were gathered outside the shop. Among them, there were five guard leaders. All of them were at the mid-ninth level and their combat strength wasn't weak.

"Zi Chen, do you know what you are doing?" Seeing Zi Chen come out with people, one of the guard leaders said coldly.

Zi Chen smiled faintly and said, "Of course I know."

"By doing this, you are making an enemy of the humans of the Imperial Sky Region." The guard leader said again.

"Making an enemy of the humans of the Imperial Sky Region?"

Zi Chen's expression turned cold when he heard this. "Are you going to tell me that making an enemy of the humans is the same as making an enemy of a foreign race?"

The guard leader wanted to nod because that was indeed the case. However, he didn't know why, but when he saw Zi Chen's cold gaze, he didn't say what he was going to say. Instead, he fell into silence.

"I don't know if you have gathered all the guards here, but I am sure that many of you have seen the Soul Devouring Clan enter the city with your own eyes. Some of you even provided shelter for that Soul Devouring Clan member."

As soon as Zi Chen's voice fell, it immediately caused an uproar.

The Soul Devouring Clan was a real foreign race. They were very powerful and were definitely an enemy of the humans.

If what Zi Chen said was true, didn't that mean that someone in the city was colluding with the Soul Devouring Clan?

For a moment, the gazes of many cultivators fell on the guards of the ninth level. This made the guards very uncomfortable.

The guard leader was about to say something, but Zi Chen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be in a hurry to deny it, and don't try to shirk responsibility. I don't want to pursue this matter because it's meaningless."

"This time, my target is the Imperial Sky Alliance, not you guys. So, get out of my way quickly."

"Who do you think you are to retreat just because you say so?" Another guard leader said coldly.

"Wu Xie." Zi Chen called out softly.
