"You're saying... I'm the suspect who stole from Myriad Things Studio?"
Fang Yuan slowly savored his tea without getting up. Watching the Cultivators closing in around him, he curled his lips into a faint smile. "Congratulations, you guessed right. You caught the real culprit in one go! This City Guard Commander really is a first-rate talent, haha..."
"Wait!"
The City Guard Commander was suddenly drenched in cold sweat. "You just said... you were the one who stole from Myriad Things Studio?"

Now that he saw Fang Yuan admit it, he was at a loss.
What should I do? Am I really supposed to attack an immortal Formation Master?
The City Guard Commander racked his brains. "No! Maybe he's just bluffing, trying to fool me... But if he's telling the truth, attacking him would mean certain death!"
His heart turned bitter.
Who could have guessed that the real culprit would stick around after the theft, sitting here brazenly sipping tea instead of making his escape?
Now he was caught between a rock and a hard place.
"Commander, sir? Since you don't want to dirty your hands, shall I take care of it for you?"
Deputy Commander Zhou glanced at him in confusion. He had no idea why the Commander's expression had changed several times, and, acting on instinct, he stepped forward.

A voice rang out like thunder. A flash of light streaked past.
Deputy Commander Zhou cried out and flew backward, blood scattering across the sky as he went.
"Hall Master!"
Jin Fu cried out in surprise. Seeing
