170: Chapter 170 The Benevolent Cao, Acting on Behalf of Heaven, Strikes!

Cao Kun led Yu Linglong to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, the largest in the center of Xuan Province City.

As soon as the two entered, the originally noisy lobby fell silent.

It couldn't be helped; Yu Linglong was simply too eye-catching.

Today, she wore a form-fitting purple ruqun with a layer of light gauze draped over it.

Her slender waist, which could be encircled by a single hand, swayed gracefully with every step.

Although she had hidden her furry fox ears and tail,

the innate charm exuding from her bones could not be concealed.

The male Cultivators in the lobby stared with eyes wide and fixed.

The sound of people gulping could be heard one after another.

But soon, everyone's attention shifted from Yu Linglong to Cao Kun.

To be precise,

it shifted to the black and white yin-yang dharma robe Cao Kun was wearing.

"Hey, look at the clothes that kid is wearing..."

A Loose Cultivator with a large saber on his back lowered his voice and nudged his companion with his elbow.

"Doesn't that Daoist robe look like the one on the bounty poster at the city gate?"

His companion turned his head, sized Cao Kun up for a few moments, and let out a sneer.

"The clothes are quite similar, but look at his face!"

"The one on the wanted poster is a crooked-mouthed, cross-eyed ugly freak."

"Look at this Young Master; he has sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified bearing, and is accompanied by such a peerless beauty."

"If he's that brainless wanted criminal, I'll gnaw on the pillars in this lobby!"

"True..." The brawny man scratched his head awkwardly and smiled sheepishly.

"I guess the clothes just happen to be a match."

Since the distance wasn't far, Cao Kun heard the discussions of these Cultivators clearly.

The masses really do have sharp eyes.

That artist from the Taichu Holy Land is a complete idiot.

My damn charm really can't be hidden.

The two walked straight to the VIP counter at the very back.

A chubby Manager stood behind the counter, looking down and fiddling with an abacus.

Slap!

Without a word, Cao Kun slapped a Top-Grade Spirit Stone onto the counter.

Feeling the dense Spiritual Qi emanating from the Spirit Stone,

the Manager looked up at Cao Kun.

Then he looked at the enchanting Yu Linglong beside him, and immediately had an idea.

This is definitely a top-tier Young Master from some major province out for a stroll!

"Oh, greetings Young Master, what can I do for you?"

"Hire a highest-grade Flying Boat." Cao Kun tapped his finger on the counter.

"Going to the nearest province that has a Central Province Teleportation Array."

Thinking this would be a big deal, the fat Manager's smile instantly collapsed when he heard the words 'Flying Boat'.

With a troubled expression, he pushed the Spirit Stone back.

"Young Master, I really don't dare to earn this Spirit Stone of yours."

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Such a large chamber of commerce doesn't even have a single Flying Boat?"

The Manager was startled and waved his hands hurriedly to explain, "Young Master, please calm down! It's not that our chamber of commerce doesn't have them, but..."

"Half an hour ago, all the high-grade Flying Boats in our chamber of commerce were requisitioned by a big figure."

"Now, forget about high-grade Flying Boats, we can't even spare a cargo sampan."

Hearing this, Cao Kun's interest was piqued. "Such a big show? Who is it?"

The Manager looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before leaning in closer.

"That lord's name is Chu Feng, a peerless Prodigy from the Central Province!"

"I heard that despite his young age, he has already reached the Soul Transformation Peak cultivation."

"Behind him stands a super major power from the Central Province."

The Manager sighed and continued to add with a bitter face.

"Under the guise of Mortal World tempering, he came to our Xuan Province."

"Relying on his profound cultivation and heaven-reaching background, he has been forcibly extorting various Sects in Xuan Province!"

"Now, he's preparing to return, so he monopolized all the Flying Boats in Xuan Province!"

"Anyone who wants to go to the transit station must take his Flying Boat and pay a sky-high hitchhiking toll."

"It costs fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones per person! Isn't this daylight robbery!"

After listening, Cao Kun's eyes flickered.

Soul Transformation Peak? Central Province Prodigy? Extorted the wealth of the entire Xuan Province?

This isn't a bully.

This is a perfect Wealth-Delivering Boy!

Cao Kun turned to look at Yu Linglong, and the two exchanged a knowing glance.

Seeing Cao Kun remain silent,

the Manager thought he was intimidated by Chu Feng's reputation.

So, with the intention of forming a good connection, he earnestly advised:

"Young Master, people from remote provinces like ours really can't afford to provoke such a crossing-river dragon from the Central Province."

"You clearly possess a noble status; don't go looking for trouble."

"The journey from Xuan Province to the transit station is long. You might as well rest in the city for ten days or half a month. Once that malevolent star has left, our chamber of commerce will immediately arrange the best Flying Boat for you."

Cao Kun reached out and put the Top-Grade Spirit Stone on the table back into his Storage Ring, his expression turning solemn.

He patted his chest with an air of righteous indignation.

"The Manager is mistaken!"

Cao Kun's voice was loud and clear, causing several nearby Cultivators to look over.

"We Cultivators should Cultivate a breath of noble righteous Qi!"

"This Chu Feng bullies men and oppresses women, preying on the locals. He is simply the scum of the cultivation world!"

"Tell me!"

Cao Kun stared at the Manager with bright eyes,

"Where is this Chu Feng right now?"

"Today, I must act on behalf of Heaven and return a bright and clear world to Xuan Province!"

These words were spoken with such soul-stirring passion.

Many hot-blooded Cultivators in the lobby who had been oppressed by Chu Feng felt their eyes turn red.

They all looked up at Cao Kun with gazes of immense respect.

Yu Linglong held his arm, quietly turning her face away, her curvaceous body trembling slightly as she suppressed her laughter.

She knew Cao Kun too well. With his character of doing nothing without gain, it would be a miracle if he cared about other people's business.

He clearly had his eyes on the other party's Spirit Stones and treasures!

Seeing that Cao Kun was unmoved by persuasion, the Manager could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"At... at the Wind-Sighing Plain, ten li outside the city."

He pointed toward the direction outside the city and earnestly reminded him again:

"Young Master, listen to this old man's advice, don't go to your death!"

"He also has several Void Refining Middle Stage guards with him..."

Before he could finish, Cao Kun had already pulled Yu Linglong out of the chamber of commerce's entrance.

The Manager looked at Cao Kun's departing back and shook his head with a sigh.

"What a pity for that peerless beauty beside him; she'll likely end up benefiting that malevolent star Chu Feng."

...

Ten li outside the city, at the Wind-Sighing Plain.

Dozens of giant Flying Boats, each a hundred zhang long,

were moored head-to-tail on the open ground.

In front of the largest luxury Flying Boat sat a young man dressed in a magnificent brocade robe.

This person was exactly the Central Province Prodigy the Manager spoke of, Chu Feng.

At his feet were piles of Storage Pouches, Spiritual Plant jade boxes, and Heaven And Earth Treasures emitting various colors of light, stacked like small mountains.

Several attendants in uniform were quickly counting this wealth.

"Young Master, the ten Spiritual Veins handed over by the Feiyu Sect have been sealed. However, their quality is average, mostly Low Grade."

An attendant reported respectfully.

Chu Feng snorted coldly and tossed a spirit pearl he was playing with into a jade plate.

"A backwater is just a backwater. Even after cracking their bones and sucking the marrow, only this much oil can be squeezed out."

At this moment, in the middle of the open ground,

several white-haired Elders wearing the robes of local Xuan Province Sects were kneeling on the ground.

Their clothes were tattered, and they bore obvious wounds on their bodies, clearly having just suffered a beating.

"Young Master Chu! Eldest Young Master Chu!"

The old man at the head was banging his head on the ground, his forehead already a bloody mess.

"I beg you to be merciful and leave two Spiritual Veins for our Xuantian Sword Sect!"

"If you take all the Spiritual Veins away, how will the thousands of Disciples in our Sect Cultivate!"

"Those are the Foundations passed down to us by our ancestors!"

The old man cried piteously, and several other Elders from local Xuan Province Sects also began to plead.

"Yes, Young Master Chu, please leave us a way to live!"

"We'll scrape together, we'll scrape together more Spirit Stones for you..."

Listening to these pleas, Chu Feng showed no mercy. Instead, a trace of impatient cold laughter appeared on his face.

"Noisy."

He didn't even sit up straight, just casually raised his right leg.

The old man was kicked flying dozens of zhang away like a broken sack.

"Old thing who doesn't know what's good for him."

Chu Feng spat, his gaze contemptuous.

"This Young Master coming to your wretched place for tempering is a blessing your Xuan Province hasn't earned in eight lifetimes!"

"Dare to say one more word, and this Young Master will level your bullshit Xuantian Sword Sect right now!"

The other Elders kneeling on the ground trembled all over when they heard this, not daring to make another sound.

Right at that moment,

a light laugh suddenly came from the sky.

"Oh, Young Master Chu sure is putting on quite the show!"

Chu Feng's face darkened as he looked up into the air.

He saw the clouds rolling.

A man and a woman were riding the wind, descending from the sky.

They landed on the Flying Boat in front of him.

Yu Linglong
