470: Are you done talking?

Shadow Crow felt a chill rush from his spine to the back of his head, and his blood seemed to freeze instantly!

He had been discovered!

How was that possible?!

The Shadow Void Escape Art he practiced was a top-tier concealment secret technique. When combined with a special Magical Artifact, even the Divine Thought of an Early Stage Earth Immortal might not detect him without a careful sweep!

This white-robed man clearly only had the aura of the Saint Realm. Could he be hiding his cultivation? Or did he possess some extraordinary treasure?

But there was no time for further thought! His tracks were exposed; the plan had changed!

He had to escape immediately!

Without the slightest hesitation, Shadow Crow's figure flickered violently as he shot toward the window!

“Trying to leave?”

A cold shout rang out, but it wasn't from Gu Changge—it was Xiao Bai beside him!

Although Xiao Bai usually acted more like a gluttonous follower, his reactions were extremely fast.

The moment Gu Changge exposed the spying, he had already become alert.

Seeing the dark shadow scatter, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. Without any visible effort, his figure shifted several yards like a phantom, blocking the dark shadow with unerring precision!

“Get out of the way!”

Shadow Crow was both shocked and enraged. A streak of black light, like a venomous snake's tongue, lunged straight for Xiao Bai's face.

It was so fast that it tore through the air, carrying the fierce immortal essence of the Ninth Heaven Void Immortal realm!

He saw that Xiao Bai was only an Early Stage Void Immortal whose immortal essence hadn't even fully converted yet. He intended to force him back with one blow and make his escape.

However, facing this strike that was enough to heavily injure an ordinary Peak Void Immortal, Xiao Bai clenched his right hand and threw a simple, direct punch!

There was no glow of immortal essence on his fist, only the sudden explosion of a primitive, brutal, and terrifying power of blood and Qi!

Beneath his skin, dark golden dragon scale patterns faintly flickered and vanished.

Boom!!!

The fist collided with the black light!

That fierce black light was actually knocked off course and dimmed by Xiao Bai's punch!

While Xiao Bai's figure swayed slightly, the bluestone floor beneath his feet cracked into spiderweb-like patterns with a 'crack.'

Shadow Crow was forced to a halt by the counter-shock. How could this black-clad brat's Physical Body strength be so powerful?!

Inside the Drunken Immortal Tower, all the diners were stunned. They stood up and retreated, clearing a large space as they watched the sudden conflict with uncertainty.

“What's going on? Why did a fight suddenly break out?”

“Who is that dark shadow?”

“Is he after that Young Master in white? Could it be because of the Immortal Stones?”

The crowd discussed fervently, most of them confused, feeling that the conflict had come out of nowhere.

The dark shadow's movement technique was eerie and his aura was elusive; many Cultivators couldn't even discern his depth, let alone his origins.

However, not everyone failed to recognize him.

On the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Tower, in a quiet room that was never open to the public—elegantly decorated and overlooking the entire city.

A middle-aged man dressed in simple yet elegant silk robes, with an aura as deep as an abyss, stood by the window.

He was the owner of the Drunken Immortal Tower and one of the few low-profile experts in Sunset City, Liu Tingfeng.

His cultivation had reached the Perfection of the Ninth Heaven True Immortal realm, just one step away from the Earth Immortal realm.

His gaze pierced through the floors, taking in everything happening on the third floor.

When he saw the figure erupting from the shadows only to be stopped by Xiao Bai, a flash of realization and disgust crossed Liu Tingfeng's eyes.

“Shadow Crow, that dog kept by the Four Seas Trading Firm who is best at concealment and stalking. As expected, they were the first ones who couldn't resist making a move.”

Liu Tingfeng whispered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of disdain.

“It seems they’ve targeted this white-robed Young Master who spends so lavishly.

Over the years, the Four Seas Trading Firm has become increasingly unscrupulous, even daring to make a move in my Drunken Immortal Tower.”

But he did not immediately step forward to stop it.

Firstly, although he did not fear the Four Seas Trading Firm, they were ultimately connected to the Immortal Palace, and he didn't want to burn bridges easily.

Secondly, he also wanted to see what kind of backing this white-robed Young Master had, who could casually produce Immortal Stones for the bill and remain composed even in the face of an ambush.

Shadow Crow, forced to a stop by Xiao Bai's punch, grew even more anxious. Now that he was exposed, he had to end this quickly!

His figure blurred again as he avoided a direct confrontation with Xiao Bai, turning into a wafting black smoke. He attempted to use his superior movement techniques and immortal essence cultivation to bypass Xiao Bai and rush out the window.

“Where do you think you're going!”

Xiao Bai's combat instincts were extremely strong. Although his use of immortal essence wasn't as refined as his opponent's, he made up for it with his speed, power, and robust Physical Body.

His punches and kicks were wide and powerful, creating whistling gales that kept Shadow Crow pinned down.

“Useless! You can't even handle a single Void Immortal?!”

An impatient, cold shout came from the doorway.

Before the voice had even faded, several powerful and obscure auras swept onto the third floor like a cold wind!

The leader was a tall man wearing a wide black cloak. A hood covered most of his face, leaving only the cold, hard lines of his lower face visible.

His aura was heavy and settled; he had actually reached the Seventh Heaven True Immortal realm!

Behind him followed four Cultivators in the same attire, all with cold auras.

The ripples faintly emitted by two of them had also reached the Third Heaven True Immortal realm, while the other two were at the Peak of the Void Immortal realm.

All five of them had used secret techniques or Magical Artifacts to hide their true auras and appearances.

Standing there, they exuded a sense of Evil Qi that warned others not to approach.

These were the people sent by the Four Seas Trading Firm. They had originally planned to quietly find a suitable time to strike without alerting anyone.

They hadn't expected that as soon as they approached the Drunken Immortal Tower, they would sense Shadow Crow's aura locked in fierce combat. He had been exposed so quickly!

The plan had changed; they couldn't wait any longer!

A sharp glint flashed in Tu Lie's eyes. He stopped hiding and appeared directly with his men!

Since they had already started, they would finish it quickly!

As long as they captured the target and cleaned up properly, who would know it was the Four Seas Trading Firm who did it?

“Kid,” Tu Lie's voice was raspy as he looked at Gu Changge with undisguised killing intent and greed.

“I'll give you two choices.

One, kneel down yourself, hand over all your Immortal Stones and treasures, and then cripple your own cultivation. This seat might consider sparing your dog's life and sending you to the mines to live out the rest of your days.

Two, this seat will personally act to search your soul and refine your spirit, pull your tendons and skin you alive, letting you taste what it means to be unable to live and unable to die!”

As he spoke, the pressure of a Seventh Heaven True Immortal was released without reservation.

It was as heavy as a literal mountain, crashing down toward Gu Changge and enveloping the entire third floor.

The air seemed to solidify instantly, becoming so thick it was suffocating.

Those diners who were still watching and whispering all turned pale now.

Those with weaker cultivation groaned and stumbled back, their internal blood and Qi churning, nearly forcing them to their knees.

Gaze after gaze—some fearful, some pitying, some gloating—all focused on the white-robed figure still sitting calmly by the window.

“Seventh Heaven True Immortal... this kind of power is too terrifying!”

“That white-robed Young Master, sigh, what a pity. Wealth should not be flaunted.”

“He’s too young and impetuous. Without a backing, possessing such wealth is a crime...”

The whispers were almost inaudible under the terrifying pressure, but the meaning within them was crystal clear. No one favored Gu Changge.

Even Liu Tingfeng in the quiet room on the top floor shook his head slightly and sighed in his heart.

Gu Changge finally, slowly, turned around and looked Tu Lie in the face.

His eyes were calm, even carrying a hint of... boredom?

“Finished speaking?”

Gu Changge spoke, his tone carrying a bit of disdain.

Tu Lie was stunned, then flew into a rage: “You're looking for death! Take him!”

The two Third Heaven True Immortal experts behind him moved at his command, pouncing toward Gu Changge like two phantoms.

Facing the assault of two True Immortals, Gu Changge finally moved.

He simply raised his right hand slightly and made a light pressing motion toward the two pouncing men.

The movement was casual, as if brushing dust off his sleeve.

Boom—!!!

An indescribable, incomprehensible, terrifying pressure that seemed to originate from the world itself suddenly descended!

The two Third Heaven True Immortal experts, who were mid-air with cruel sneers on their faces, suddenly froze!

Their forward momentum came to a dead stop, and the surging immortal essence around them dissipated instantly like a punctured balloon!

Then, as Tu Lie's pupils suddenly contracted, those two True Immortal experts flew backward even faster than they had pounced!

They smashed through the incredibly hard doors and windows of the Drunken Immortal Tower's third floor—which were reinforced with Profound Iron Essence—and landed directly on the street outside.

Thud! Thud!

Two dull impacts that made one's heart skip a beat.

The solid ground was forcibly smashed into two human-shaped pits, with spiderweb cracks spreading out for several yards.

The two True Immortal experts were like two piles of mud, embedded deep in the bottom of the pits, bleeding from their seven orifices, their bones shattered, and their immortal essence dispersed.

They had only a breath left, unable to even scream, their eyes filled only with boundless fear and confusion.

What had happened?

They only felt an irresistible, incomprehensible power press down, and then they knew nothing more.

The third floor instantly fell silent.

One could hear a pin drop!
