Xian Liao stood proudly in the void, releasing the aura of the Peak Divine King Realm expert without reservation, exuding majesty and arrogance!
Behind him, two rows of ten Spirit Transformation Realm cultivators stood straight, each emanating a chilling aura.
The sheer scale of the formation alone exudes a terrifying sense of oppression.
Xian Liao lowered his head, merely glancing coldly at the cultivators below, before asking, "Have any unusual cultivators come to the market?"
He looked down at the cultivators below as if they were ants, his voice booming and spreading.
Upon hearing Xian Liao's thunderous voice, the cultivators felt their heads buzzing and their eardrums trembling.
Their fear intensified, and it took them a long time to recover.
However, most of the cultivators remained silent, their heads bowed and bodies trembling.
Xian Liao of the Xian Lineage is a top expert of the Xian Lineage, one of the Five Great Lineages in Linfeng City. He is a terrifying existence whose cultivation has reached the Peak Divine King Realm.
In their eyes, such people are high and mighty figures, and they don't even have the courage to look up at them.
Moreover, and most importantly, this person is known for his hatred of evil and his fearsome reputation. He once single-handedly wiped out a second-rate Lineage in Linfeng City.
Legend has it that on that day, blood flowed like a river, and not a single chicken or dog was spared. Not even an ant was left alive, let alone a living person.
Seeing that no one answered, Xian Liao snorted coldly, and a powerful killing intent suddenly surged from his body:
"What? Didn't anyone hear my question? Does the silence mean no unusual cultivators have entered the market, or that you don't know?"
Sensing the intense killing intent emanating from Xian Liao, the cultivators were finally awakened.
Some cultivators couldn't help but think of Ye Xuan and Han Bingning, who had only recently entered the market.
He couldn't help but shiver, and quickly said in a trembling voice, "Reporting to Senior Divine King, not long ago, a strange man and woman entered the market."
Upon hearing this, Xian Liao's eyes suddenly lit up.
He gestured towards the cultivator, and a large hand of Spiritual Qi suddenly appeared.
The next moment, to the horror of all the cultivators, the one who had spoken was grabbed by the giant hand of Spiritual Qi and brought directly to Xian Liao in the void.
The cultivator was also deathly pale, terrified, and trembling all over.
If it weren't for the Spiritual Qi energy suppressing him, he would probably have lost control of his bladder and bowels.
Xian Liao, however, looked at the cultivator and coldly asked, "Oh? Tell me in detail, where are those two now, and what is their cultivation level?"
Upon hearing this, the cultivator felt a chill run down his spine and stammered, "I... I don't know..."
"However, the woman seems to be injured and is unconscious. They must have gone to find an inn to rest."
Upon hearing this, Xian Liao immediately gave orders to the cultivators behind him. "Ten of you, immediately seal off all the entrances and exits of the market, ensuring that not even a fly can get out."
"The other ten men, immediately search all the restaurants and inns in the market. Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free. If you find anything unusual, report it to me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the twenty cultivators nodded in agreement, and then their figures flickered, and they quickly left.
Xian Liao then tossed a hundred mid-grade spirit stones to the cultivator before him, saying, "You're quite good. You can leave now. This is your reward."
Then he looked at the cultivators below. "If anyone knows any other information about those two, please inform me. My Xian Lineage is fair in its rewards and punishments, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly."
Upon hearing this, the cultivators below couldn't help but feel a stirring in their hearts, and their eyes flickered.
One hundred mid-grade spirit stones might not seem like much, but this was practically free.
They hadn't expected that Xian Liao, rumored to be ruthless and cruel, with a fearsome reputation, would be so easy to talk to.
In fact, although Xian Liao has a rough appearance and looks very fierce, he seems to lack intelligence.
But in fact, he's not stupid.
Even with his powerful cultivation, he couldn't possibly offend all the low-level cultivators who made a living near Linfeng City.
These people may seem like ants to him, but at certain times, they can play a significant role.
Moreover, if he were truly so brainless, and the Xian Lineage were equally brainless, then the Xian Lineage would never have developed to its current state, much less possess its current status.
"Your Divine King, I know where those two cultivators went. I think I saw them go to the Fortune Comes Inn earlier."
Not long after Xian Liao's voice fell, another cultivator quickly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Xian Liao didn't waste any more words. He simply tossed down five hundred spirit stones and then vanished in a flash.
He didn't even consider a few hundred spirit stones a threat.
Moreover, Xian Liao believed that these lowly ants would never dare to deceive him, because that would be courting death!
After Xian Liao left, the cultivator who had received five hundred spirit stones couldn't help but tremble with excitement.
Obtaining the spirit stones was secondary; the most crucial point was that he actually obtained them from a senior Divine King, and from Divine King Xian Lineage, one of the Five Great Lineages of Linfeng City.
If word got out about this, he could brag about it for the rest of his life.
Restaurant.
Those cultivators who were chatting about everything under the sun or indulging in romantic musings naturally noticed the commotion outside the market.
After all, the market town wasn't very big, and Xian Liao and his group made no attempt to conceal their imposing aura. Coupled with Xian Liao's thunderous shout, they naturally sensed it immediately.
In an instant, the entire restaurant was in an uproar, countless cultivators changed color, and a huge commotion was stirred up!
"That voice just now sounded like the voice of the Divine King Realm expert. What happened?"
"That's Senior Xian Liao from the Xian Lineage. I've seen him from afar before and heard his voice. I never expected him to come to our little market town."
"My God, I just sneaked out for a peek, and it really is Senior Xian Liao! Not only has Senior Xian Liao come, but he's also brought twenty Spirit Transformation Realm experts with him!"
"Wow, one Peak Divine King Realm expert and twenty Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm experts, what a grand scene! They must be here for that ruthless cultivator from the Eastern Wasteland. Looks like that guy's in for a world of trouble."
"Isn't that obvious? If you offend the Xian Lineage here, do you think you'll have a good outcome? That kid's finished; he'll definitely die!"
In a corner, Ye Xuan naturally sensed the commotion outside. Listening to the discussions among these cultivators, his expression instantly darkened!
"They arrived really quickly! One Peak Divine King Realm, and twenty Nascent Spirit Transformation —that's quite a sight!"
Ye Xuan chuckled coldly, a fierce killing intent surging in his eyes!
Just then--
With a loud bang, a deafening sound suddenly rang out!
The next moment, a Spirit Transformation Realm expert, exuding a domineering aura, kicked open the restaurant door and arrogantly stormed in.
