Although the people from Far East City were making a huge racket, they knew they could do nothing to Xia Ping in the safety of the city. They only shouted at him from the sidelines, not daring to act.
Even so, they glared at Xia Ping like hungry tigers, seeming to wait for a chance to strike from the shadows.
Chu Rong, Su Ji, Yu Qiqi, and Jiang Yaru soon learned what Xia Ping had done in Far East City to incur everyone's wrath. It turned out he had swindled more than a billion Universal Coins from people.
He had even spread the news far and wide, prompting countless people to point fingers at them. It was easy to imagine how much they hated Xia Ping. They wanted nothing more than to skin him alive and pull out his tendons.
Just then, the whole of Far East City suddenly erupted into a commotion, more chaotic than when Xia Ping had first appeared.
"Move! A Saint-level forging method has appeared outside the city, and someone's already found the holder. Hurry over and take it, or you'll miss your chance!" someone shouted, his face alight with excitement.
At those words, everyone in Far East City grew excited. Even the people who had been watching Xia Ping and looking for a chance to attack him from the shadows were roused. They quickly left the city.
"Hmm? What happened?"
A glint flashed in Xia Ping's eyes. He sensed that something momentous had happened in Far East City. Otherwise, it would never have caused the whole city to erupt into such a commotion.
He silently extended his divine sense into the crowd, trying to learn what was going on.
As expected, the people were discussing the matter.
"So that's what happened."
Xia Ping looked enlightened.
