#1020 - The White Coat's Temptation
Li Chengfeng's heart surged with excitement, and he quickly said, "Don't worry, Senior, since you're so interested in that secret realm, I'll lead the way for you.
However, there are many people in this market, so we must not be noticed by others."
Manager Wang Ren's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he said lightly, "Don't worry, I'm more aware of that than you are. Just leave the market, and I'll follow you quietly."
"Thank you, Senior."
After Li Chengfeng finished speaking, he strode out of the thatched cottage, his face beaming with satisfaction.
Watching Li Chengfeng's departing figure, Manager Wang Ren's lips curled into a sinister sneer.
He whispered to himself, "The day I find the secret realm will be the day you die.
You dare to play these little tricks in front of me; you're just asking for death.
I'm determined to get the treasure, and you'll have to return everything you gave me, untouched."
After saying that, his figure moved, and he disappeared without a trace like a ghost.
Li Chengfeng, on the other hand, strolled leisurely outside the market, secretly rejoicing in his heart.
This time, he had truly made a fortune, but he was also very clear that the real treasures were all on that manager.
After all, this was an extremely chaotic place, where wars often broke out, and some particularly rare items were naturally in the hands of those powerful figures.
This manager of the Righteous Alliance must be an extraordinary figure, and he must have a lot of good stuff hidden away.
Li Chengfeng proceeded unhurriedly, and after leaving the market and traveling several thousand miles, suddenly, a powerful pressure descended like a roaring tsunami.
He quickly looked up and saw a young man in a white robe, holding a folding fan, standing elegantly in the air not far ahead.
The man had a face like jade, eyes like bright stars, and he swayed the folding fan gently, appearing exceptionally unrestrained.
He smiled and said to Li Chengfeng, "Greetings, fellow Daoist.
I heard that you bought a lot of good things in the Righteous Alliance market. As the saying goes, sharing is caring.
I've been waiting for you here for so long; you can't let me go back empty-handed, can you?"
Li Chengfeng felt the powerful aura emanating from the other party and was shocked.
He didn't expect to encounter a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator here.
Facing the white-robed cultivator, Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said, "Fellow Daoist is indeed well-informed, able to wait for Li here in advance.
But you must know clearly that this time, I am acting on the orders of Manager Wang Ren, the head manager of the Righteous Alliance market.
I'm going to help him deal with an extremely special and confidential matter.
If you dare to harm me, hehe, I'm afraid Manager Wang Ren will never spare you.
He will definitely make you suffer a fate worse than death.
Haha…"
Li Chengfeng laughed wildly, his laughter mixed with a hint of playfulness and a strong sense of threat.
The white-robed cultivator's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, but he showed no signs of weakness.
He sneered and said, "How would Manager Wang Ren know that you would die in my hands?
Besides, I don't necessarily have to take your life; as long as you obediently hand over the treasures on your body, I'll spare you.
What do you think of this proposal?"
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, his expression suggesting that he was quite interested in the proposal.
He slowly took out a storage ring from his chest and tossed it lightly towards the other party, saying, "See if this is enough to buy my life."
With a thought, the white-robed cultivator instantly conjured a huge palm made of mana, firmly grasping the storage ring in his hand.
He sneered, "Fellow Daoist is indeed straightforward, but don't try to trick me like a three-year-old child.
I have to investigate whether there are any conspiracies or tricks inside first."
As he said that, he concentrated his divine sense and quickly swept through the ring, and when he saw the mountains of spiritual materials and herbs piled up inside, he was immediately overcome with excitement.
He said, "Good kid, you're very sensible.
Only people like you can live long in this treacherous world.
Do you think I would be stupid enough to joke with my own life?
Although these treasures are useless to me, it's important to save my life, hahaha…"
With another thought, the white-robed cultivator was about to put the storage ring into his own storage ring when, suddenly, an unexpected change occurred!
The storage ring suddenly shattered and broke apart, turning into countless tiny fragments.
And among these flying fragments, three incomparably sharp swords shot out like lightning meteors.
They pointed directly at the white-robed cultivator's shoulders and dantian!
The speed of these three swords was astonishingly fast, like brilliant meteors piercing through the dark night sky.
It left people with no time to react. The white-robed cultivator's face changed drastically in an instant.
He never expected that Li Chengfeng would hide such a deadly killing move in this storage ring!
He hurriedly used his exquisite footwork in an attempt to avoid the fierce attacks of these three swords.
But unfortunately, the speed of these three swords was too fast, not giving the white-robed cultivator any chance to react.
The corners of Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a cold smile full of chill.
The white-robed cultivator finally realized at this moment.
He understood that he had fallen into a trap, that this storage ring was simply a illusory fake, and that a delicate illusion array had been set up inside.
It made people mistakenly believe that it was full of precious treasures, but in fact, it was empty inside.
This was a powerful magic weapon specifically used to carry out sneak attacks and deception.
He never expected that he had struggled in this mixed and chaotic place for hundreds of years.
But today, he had fallen for Li Chengfeng's trick.
"Careless, careless!" The white-robed cultivator's words had not yet completely fallen.
His shoulders and dantian had been ruthlessly pierced by the swords, and even his Nascent Soul was firmly nailed inside his dantian.
He didn't even manage to say a complete sentence before he died.
Li Chengfeng strolled over leisurely, took the white-robed cultivator's storage ring, and then, with a wave of his hand, cleanly chopped off his head.
He said with a smug laugh, "You have a road to heaven, but you don't take it; you come to hell without being invited.
I have many treasures on me, but you have to have the life to take them! Hahaha, this magic weapon is really useful, especially for deceiving those who are greedy and insatiable."
As he said that, with a thought, the three swords clattered together again.
They restored the original appearance of the storage bracelet, lifelike, as if nothing had ever happened.
At this moment, Manager Wang Ren saw everything clearly in the distance.
He secretly marveled at Li Chengfeng's cunning and caution.
He thought to himself, "This guy is indeed extremely cunning, adept at using conspiracies and tricks.
Bai Yi was truly foolish, his mind was confused by the illusion in the storage bracelet, and that's why he ended up in such a miserable state."
Although Manager Wang Ren thought so in his heart, he also knew that if it were him.
I'm afraid it would be difficult to resist the great temptation of the realistic illusion in the storage bracelet.
After all, those illusions were too realistic, enough to make people lose their minds without realizing it.
He secretly rejoiced that he was careful and cautious enough not to be easily deceived.
