After thinking for a long time, he still could not come up with a single person.
After leaving Qingyun Sect, the original owner had become a drunkard—and a poor one at that. If anyone wanted to harm him, they would not even need Knockout Drug; he had been dizzy every day anyway.
As for Chen Ze himself, he had only been in this world for a few days. He had lived with the utmost caution and barely interacted with anyone, so it was even less likely that he had offended somebody.
"Could it be that thief's accomplices from that day, here for revenge?"
After thinking for a long time, this was the only person Chen Ze could think of who had any grudge against him.
But on careful thought, it seemed impossible. If they were that thief's accomplices, they should have entered together that day.
"Then I can only beat them at their own game. Since you used Knockout Drug, you must be planning to come in. I'll wait quietly for your good news."
His cultivation had broken through, and he also possessed a Grandmaster-level Ignition Art. Chen Ze felt that he finally had some ability to protect himself.
Chen Ze decided to give the person who had drugged him a sudden strike.
Having made up his mind, Chen Ze slowly retreated back to the bed and lay down.
The Breath Concealment Art suppressed his aura, making him look as though he had truly been knocked unconscious.
The Ignition Art was ready as well. That Low-grade Yellow Tier Short Blade had been stored in Myriad Things Space and could appear in his hand at any moment.
He waited in silence.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chen Ze finally heard the sound of the front door slowly opening.
He really is cautious. Chen Ze sighed inwardly.
Based on the effects of the Knockout Drug, the thug could have entered long ago, yet he had deliberately waited an extra ten minutes.
And when he came in, he had even covered his mouth and nose with a piece of cloth.
After entering, the thug did not light a lamp. By the moonlight, he had already confirmed that someone was lying on the bed.
To be safe, the thug deliberately released his cultivation aura to test him. Seeing that the person on the bed still did not move,
he knew the Knockout Drug had worked. He relaxed, looked teasingly at Chen Ze on the bed, and slowly approached.
Chen Ze had already sensed the aura released by the thug. Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
Good. One Ignition Art should be enough to deal with him.
Chen Ze could already sense that the intruder was nearly at his bedside.
Chen Ze did not act rashly. He was waiting for the chance to kill with a single blow.
Suddenly, Chen Ze opened his eyes, confirmed the target's position, and instantly released the Ignition Art he had prepared long ago.
A Fireball more than twice the size of a basketball shot out.
Just as the thug reached Chen Ze's bedside, he suddenly saw Chen Ze open his eyes. Inwardly, he cried, Not good—I've fallen for it.
But matters had reached this point. Now was no time to retreat.
Confident in his Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivation, he believed he could swiftly kill Chen Ze. The only issue was that the commotion would be a little loud.
But as long as he quickly took Chen Ze away from here and avoided the Patrol Team, there was still a chance.
Then he saw the Fireball Chen Ze had thrown already arrive before his eyes.
"What kind of spell is this? Is this a spell someone at the Qi Refining Second Layer can use?"
He could no longer dodge this attack and could only take it head-on.
Seeing the Fireball fly before him, he instinctively raised his hand to block it, but it was useless.
At the same time Chen Ze launched the Fireball Art, he threw another seven or eight Fireballs in succession.
The Short Blade had also appeared in his hand, and he viciously stabbed it forward.
When the Fireballs struck the thug, more than a dozen Defense Talismans activated instantly as he raised his hands to block them, but they were merely a drop in the bucket.
What the thug failed to notice was Chen Ze's true killing move. He could barely withstand the barrage of Fireballs, when he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, followed by agonizing pain.
He could no longer say a word. His body no longer had the strength to resist the Fireballs, and the mass of Fireballs instantly exploded across him.
The thug was dead beyond all doubt.
Chen Ze looked at his handiwork, then looked outside. The door was still open. I wonder if this will alert the Patrol Team.
Chen Ze quickly shut the door, then returned to the thug's corpse.
There was no time to destroy the body. Without even checking the thug's identity, Chen Ze stored the entire corpse in Myriad Things Space.
He quickly cleaned up the traces of the battle.
He looked around and confirmed that nothing had been overlooked and all traces of the fight had been erased.
Chen Ze returned to the bed and continued lying down, pretending to sleep. He knew private fighting was forbidden within Wannan City, and he did not want to be taken away by the Patrol Team.
The fight just now should not have caused much commotion, but he was still somewhat worried.
He did all this merely as a precaution.
After waiting quietly for a long time, there was still no movement outside.
No one should have noticed.
Chen Ze felt somewhat reassured, and only then did he send his consciousness into Myriad Things Space.
When he saw the thug's corpse, Chen Ze shook his head and sighed. "I used too much force. Even his face has been blown away. How am I supposed to identify him now?"
It was also Chen Ze's first time using the Grandmaster-level Ignition Art against an enemy. He had never expected its power to be so great that even a cultivator at Qi Refining Sixth Layer could not withstand it at all.
Only now did he realize that his Heart Piercing Stab just now had been somewhat unnecessary.
"When did I attract the attention of a Qi Refining Sixth Layer cultivator? I shouldn't have anything worth coveting."
Chen Ze examined the corpse while pondering.
"A Storage Bag?"
Chen Ze found a Storage Bag on the corpse. He knew that although Storage Bags were not rare in this world, they were not something just anyone could possess.
Within Qingyun Sect, when disciples entered the sect, every Inner Disciple could receive one.
Outer Disciples, however, had to exchange Merit Points for one, while Service Disciples could not even obtain Merit Points, much less exchange them for one.
Outside the sect, an ordinary Storage Bag required one hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones to purchase, and such Storage Bags did not have much capacity.
In this Cultivation World, it was still quite difficult for Rogue Cultivators who could rely on neither a sect nor a Lineage to obtain a Storage Bag.
Spirit Stones were not even sufficient for cultivation, so where would they find Spirit Stones to buy a Storage Bag?
The fact that this corpse carried a Storage Bag was enough to show that this person was no ordinary man.
Chen Ze felt as though he had inadvertently provoked an unknown force.
With an uneasy heart, Chen Ze spent some time erasing the restrictions placed on the Storage Bag.
His Spiritual Sense entered the Storage Bag. He wanted to see whether he could find any clues inside about the person trying to harm him.
He saw that the space inside the Storage Bag was not very large, less than ten square meters or so. This was the most basic kind of Storage Bag.
Inside the Storage Bag were several bottles of pills Chen Ze did not recognize, as well as a Low-grade Yellow Tier flying sword.
When he saw that the Storage Bag also contained more than a hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, Chen Ze was overjoyed.
"The fastest ways to make money really are all written in the criminal code. But you delivered yourselves to my door, so don't blame me. I should thank you for allowing Myriad Things Shop to activate ahead of time. Now, I want to see exactly who has been targeting me."
He found one hundred and fifty Low-grade Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag, more than enough to activate Myriad Things Shop.
Chen Ze now had the confidence to wrestle with the person behind this who wanted to deal with him.
He had already connected the previous thief with this thug. This was definitely no coincidence—someone was absolutely targeting him.
