The other person completely vanished into thin air in the middle of flight. If not for the heap of clothes and scattered ornaments that fell to the ground with a crisp clatter, it would have seemed as though the fairy from Heavenly Lu Path had never appeared at all.
Not a single immortal cultivator who witnessed this scene failed to find it eerie. The remnants of her immortal robes seemed to still be flying, yet the shock of her person dissolving into smoke completely deterred them from advancing another step. Only when the storage pouch and treasures fell all over the ground did they finally awaken to the reality before them.
I waved my hand, and the storage pouch flew into my grasp. Weighing it in my hand, I sneered. "There are quite a lot of resources here. Looks like you haven't been shortchanging the disciples of Heavenly Lu Path over the years. And your Dao Venerable, too—he clearly took especially good care of you.

Wind Origin and you have an old acquaintance, but I wouldn't dare claim that my city possesses any number of treasures."
I chuckled. "City Lord Wind Origin, there's no need to be so modest. Immortal-Feng City must have given you quite a bit of support, right?"
"I wouldn't dare make wild claims about that.
