Mystic Treasure Stolen

Yunxi flashed away from her original position, and the City Guard's heavy halberd crashed down, striking a patch of black shadow on the ground. With a pfft, the surrounding cultivators caught the scent of blood. Then the shadow turned into a wisp of white smoke and vanished before everyone's eyes.

Yunxi found the other party's method of escape somewhat familiar, though she could not recall where she had seen it for the moment. Only a pool of blood remained where the shadow had vanished. Clearly, the target the City Guard was pursuing had been seriously injured.

The captain of the City Guard squad waved a hand, having his squad members surround the spot before approaching Yunxi and cupping his hands in salute.

"Senior, I am City Guard Captain Ji Feng. Might I ask you to move elsewhere? I have a few questions I would like to ask you."

Ji Feng's attitude was exceedingly respectful. Though the female cultivator before him wore a cold expression and showed not the slightest displeasure, his sharp instincts told him she was not someone to be trifled with. Especially since her strength was plainly evident, he dared not act rashly. Even his questions were posed in a consultative tone.

Yunxi nodded aloofly. She also wanted to know what treasure this so-called thief had stolen to make the City Guard search the entire city for him. Even when encountering a high-level cultivator like herself, they had still steeled themselves and come forward to question her.

Seeing that Yunxi was not angered and had nodded in agreement, Ji Feng immediately made a gesture of invitation and led her into a nearby Dharma Robe shop.

The owner of the Dharma Robe shop was a refined-looking middle-aged man. He would not dare neglect the City Guard, much less Yunxi.
