Despicable and Shameless
"Could this old Daoist priest be the sect leader of the Infinite Starfield, the White-Brow Daoist Venerable? There's no mistake, it must be him. It's just that it's rather strange that he knows my father!"
Greedy Wolf wasn't stupid. Seeing that his scolding had actually brought down a sect leader, he felt he had gotten his money's worth and put on a smile.
"This must be Senior White-Brow, right? He truly lives up to the legends, with an air of otherworldly grace and extraordinary bearing. We three brothers are here to greet Senior White-Brow and pay our respects!" With that, he pulled the Ming Dong Bright Wolf brothers to bow in greeting.
"Judging from your tone, senior, you seem to be acquainted with my father?" Greedy Wolf asked after standing up.
The White-Brow said proudly, "That's right. I met your father during a mission back then. At that time, he was just a kid who had just entered the A-level. I didn't expect that after so long, he would have reached the S6 level of combat power and even established the number one force in your Werewolf Star Domain. It's truly impressive!"
These words sound like a compliment, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that White-Brow is reminding Greedy Wolf, "Even if your father came, I wouldn't take him seriously, let alone a mere brat like you."
Greedy Wolf wasn't stupid; he heard the unspoken message clearly. However, given the other party's power and his own need to reclaim people, he forcibly suppressed his anger and nodded, saying, "Senior is right. Compared to the Infinite Sect, my Azure Wolf Clan is indeed insignificant. However, this time I have come to humbly make a request to you!"
"Speak, for your father's sake, if I can help you, I will definitely lend a hand!" The White-Brow old Daoist priest's expression softened a bit when he saw that Greedy Wolf and the others were still quite humble after seeing him.
Greedy Wolf and Ming Dong exchanged a glance and said, "We three brothers have always valued loyalty Bright Wolf righteousness, as it is the foundation of being a person. When a friend is in trouble, as brothers, we should naturally do our best to help. Don't you agree?"
White-Brow had no idea what these three were up to, but he nodded solemnly and said, "That's right. Righteousness is the foundation of being human. If a person has no righteousness, he is not even as good as a pig or a dog, and he is unworthy to be called a human being."
Hearing White-Brow say this, Greedy Wolf smiled slightly, but continued, "Senior is right. Just one day ago, someone forcibly kidnapped our friend. Tell me, as friends and brothers, shouldn't we risk our lives to save him?"
White-Brow sensed something was wrong; it seemed that Greedy Wolf had dug a hole for himself.
After much thought, White-Brow didn't see anything wrong with it, so he nodded and said, "When a friend is kidnapped, one should naturally risk one's life to help, but what's the point of bringing this up here?"
"Of course it's very relevant!" Greedy Wolf seized on White-Brow's words and hurriedly said, "Just one day ago, one of our brothers was kidnapped by an expert from the Infinite Starfield, and his whereabouts are still unknown. I've come here today for the same reason. I beg Senior White-Brow to uphold justice for us and return my brother to us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, White-Brow's expression suddenly changed.
"Impossible! How could people from the Infinite Starfield do such a thing as kidnapping? You must have seen wrong!"
"There's no mistake, I swear on my life, this was indeed done by people from the Infinite Starfield!"
Seeing Greedy Wolf's certainty, White-Brow was taken aback, then suddenly thought of the thief he had just killed. Could it be that he had some connection with that person?
"Then let me ask you, what did your kidnapped brother look like, and when and where was he kidnapped?"
Greedy Wolf naturally delivered his prepared statement, describing Li Wei's appearance in detail, and concluded angrily, "Yesterday, right outside the Purple Mausoleum Tower on the Star of Destruction, my brother was kidnapped by a Limitless Star piloting Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Boat. As far as I know, that Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Boat is a unique flying vehicle of the Infinite Starfield, and no one else could possibly obtain it. Tell me, if this wasn't the work of the Limitless Star, then who could it be?"
At this moment, White-Brow's expression finally changed.
"Yesterday? The Star of Destruction? Could it be...?"
White-Brow glanced back at Zhuo Qingxuan, thinking to himself, "Yesterday on the Star of Destruction, only Qingxuan and my junior brother were there. Could it be that one of them did this?"
Immediately, White-Brow refuted this assumption.
This time, the trip to the Star of Destruction was White-Brow's idea. Qing Xuan and her junior brother were going to seize the star map to the 'Pluto Star Domain'. This was a very important matter, and before they left, he repeatedly warned them not to be careless and not to cause any trouble. In the end, the two successfully completed their mission, so it shouldn't have been that they kidnapped anyone.
"Wait a moment!"
The image of the person he had just killed flashed through White-Brow's mind again, and a sudden wave of doubt washed over him. That person had been on Qing Xuan's Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Boat. Could the person Greedy Wolf was referring to be him?
Thinking about it carefully, it's actually quite possible.
But whether it is true or not, it's pointless to say anything now. Because he was worried that his disciple would fall for someone else, he had already killed that person. If the three members of the Greedy Wolf were looking for that person, they would probably find it impossible to achieve their goal no matter what.
White-Brow's expression remained unchanged, but having made up his mind, he said to Greedy Wolf in a deep voice, "It is true that the Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Boat is an exclusive flying vehicle of my Infinite Starfield. However, you may not know that it is not exclusive to the people of Limitless Star. You should know that any reincarnator from any star domain who completes an S-rank mission in the Shadow Street of my Infinite Starfield can obtain a Tribulation-Transcending Immortal Boat. As long as it is equipped with the Limitless Dao Art, it can be piloted. And that Limitless Dao Art, to be honest, is not some closely guarded secret. At least in the Shadow Street, as long as a series of missions are completed, one can obtain cultivation techniques below the intermediate level..."
"Furthermore, no one from my Limitless Star went to that Star of Destruction yesterday. I think you've come to the wrong place!"
These words completely absolved him of responsibility. Greedy Wolf hadn't expected White-Brow to shirk responsibility like this, but he had come prepared.
"Senior White-Brow, could you be mistaken? It wasn't that no one from the Infinite Starfield arrived at the Star of Destruction yesterday. As far as I know, one of your disciples and your junior brother went to the Infinite Starfield, and I heard they even stole something..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the White-Brow old Daoist's face turned cold. With a wave of his sleeve, he said in a deep voice, "Ignorant brat, don't be so arrogant here. I'll let you off the hook because of your father. Now leave the Infinite Starfield, or your father will come to pick you up himself!"
Greedy Wolf hadn't expected the old Daoist to turn on him so suddenly. He had actually learned all this information from Enchanting Fox afterward. All he had to do was apologize to her personally and pester her until he finally learned about the two auctioneers from the Infinite Starfield. After all, anyone with eyes could see the true strength of the two sides in that fight.
Unexpectedly, the mere mention of it today caused White-Brow to turn hostile on the spot, leaving both Greedy Wolf and the Ming Dong and Bright Wolf brothers somewhat at a loss.
"Greedy Wolf, what should we do? I think this old Daoist is serious!" Ming Dong whispered.
"Damn it, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. I initially thought this old Daoist's combat strength was only S6, but now it seems he's at least S7. Even my father couldn't handle such a master. We can only temporarily avoid a direct confrontation, but remember, I, Greedy Wolf, will never abandon my friends and brothers. You've known me for so long, when have I ever abandoned you?"
Greedy Wolf's words were impassioned, deeply moving the Ming brothers Ming Dong Bright Wolf. They replied, "Of course! Greedy Wolf, you've always been incredibly kind to us brothers, and Brother Li Wei and I get along very well. Although we haven't known each other for long, he's a man worth befriending. If we ignore him in his time of need, what difference would we make from animals?"
"Alright, in a moment, we'll pretend to leave, then slowly infiltrate the Infinite Starfield and wait for an opportunity to find Brother Li Wei!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Having reached a consensus, the three hurriedly bid farewell to the white-haired Daoist priest, but soon after leaving, they quietly returned.
This time, the three of them only brought the Werewolf with S5-level combat power. Then, the four of them carefully searched the Infinite Starfield while trying to find out about Li Wei.
However, they were unaware that the old Daoist priest with White-Brow had already sent people to follow them.
Inside a magnificent hall, the White-Brow Daoist listened to the report brought back by his subordinates, his face grim.
"What a bunch of reckless fools. I was going to let them go, but the matter of the 'Pluto Star Domain' is too important. Who knows if they came for their so-called friends or for the Pluto Star Domain itself? Maybe they just came to find out about the Pluto Star Map. But whatever their purpose, for the sake of the Infinite Starfield, we have no choice but to kill these Werewolf to prevent future troubles."
A murderous intent emanated from White-Brow's words.
The three Greedy Wolves were completely unaware that they had been targeted by the White-Brow old Daoist priest.
As for Zhuo Qingxuan, after leaving with her master, she returned to her residence, a house built on a cliff, looking utterly dejected.
The fact that person died at her master's hands today was completely unexpected. All day long, Zhuo Qingxuan kept replaying that scene in her mind. She wanted to forget it, but the scene kept appearing in her mind.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so nosy, trying to help him and that female slave get together and forcing him to give her the black card, none of this would have happened. But Master has always been fair in his dealings, so why did he kill someone without even knowing the facts today?"
Zhuo Qingxuan slowly jumped off the cliff and landed on her roof. Looking at the bright moon above, she fell into deep thought.
"However, Master has changed a lot lately. He's often unpredictable, and he becomes a completely different person whenever the 'Pluto Star Domain' is mentioned. This time, when my uncle and I successfully retrieved the Pluto Star Map, Master went crazy. What exactly is hidden in the Pluto Star Domain that would cause Master, who is about to break through to S8, to lose his composure like this?"
Completely baffled, Zhuo Qingxuan sighed, "Whatever it is, Master has decided to lead his disciples into the Pluto Star Domain tomorrow. I believe what I want to know will soon come to light, and Master will return to normal as soon as possible. It's just a pity about that guy; he lost his life for nothing!"
After letting her mind wander for a while, Zhuo Qingxuan gathered her thoughts, leaped to the door, and then pushed it open to enter.
As soon as she entered the room, she noticed a Copper Pot prominently displayed on the wooden table near the window.
