259: Robbery of the Golden Core

If an investigation were to happen later, they wouldn't have a leg to stand on!

The two Cousins wanted to back out, but The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou saw everything.

He had no other choice; after all, the situation was urgent.

If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't get another.

As long as that Lei Family junior returned to the Lei Family compound and stayed hidden,

there would be nothing he could do about it!

He couldn't possibly run into their Family compound and rob them, could he?

So, he had to take this risk, but should he kill him?

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

If he killed him, he could only hide for a while. After all, a Lei Family descendant dying in such a sensitive area at the foot of the mountain...

The Lei Family would definitely investigate it to the end.

After all, the Lei Family was in charge of the Treasure Pavilion's Combat Division, and it was near the Lei Family's compound.

This would not only slap the Lei Family in the face but also slap the Treasure Pavilion in the face!

Therefore, they would definitely investigate thoroughly.

Then, it would only be a matter of time before he and his two Cousins were found out.

If he didn't kill him, the other party would wake up and report it to the Family.

Then the two Families would become mortal enemies.

However, if he handed the low-grade golden core pill to the Family, the Family would definitely stand on his side.

They might have to pay some compensation, but the Family would have gained another Golden Core Cultivator.

He wouldn't be able to get any benefits from it!

However, he could go to the elders of his own branch in the Family and hope to keep this core formation pill!

Just as The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou suppressed his thoughts, the distant Young Master Lei, accompanied by two Golden Core Stage Attendants, flew rapidly towards the mountain on their Flying Swords.

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou turned his head and said, "Quick, stop them!"

The two Cousins were also a bit conflicted: "Is this really okay?"

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou: "100,000 Spirit Stones each!"

"There's a reason for this; they'll come looking for me, not you!"

The two Cousins' eyes lit up: "500,000 Spirit Stones!"

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou didn't hesitate at all: "Deal!"

One of the Cousins felt a bit annoyed: "We asked for too little!"

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou urged them: "Hurry up! Otherwise, they'll make it back to the Family compound!"

The two Cousins didn't dare to delay; they hurriedly stepped on their Flying Swords and released the pressure of the Golden Core Stage.

They flew towards the two Golden Core Stage Attendants in the sky.

Young Master Lei in the sky felt two Golden Core Stage escape lights rapidly approaching him from behind.

Terrified, he turned his head to look.

He hurriedly called out to the two Golden Core Stage Attendants behind him: "Stop them!"

"I'm leaving first!"

The two Golden Core Stage Attendants hovered quietly in the sky; one picked up a Flying Sword, and the other formed a spell seal.

They blocked the path of the two escape lights.

Both sides released the pressure of the Golden Core Stage and did not take any further action.

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou approached rapidly from the ground, gradually catching up with the fleeing Young Master Lei.

Young Master Lei felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind and hurriedly dodged to the side.

But it was in vain. He dodged the first grab from The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou, but he couldn't dodge the second.

He was slapped unconscious directly by The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou.

However, before being knocked unconscious, he turned his head to look at the attire of The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou.

Before passing out, he spat out two words: "So it was...!"

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou hurriedly searched Young Master Lei's body and soon found a Storage Pouch.

His Golden Core Stage Divine Sense directly erased the Soul imprint on the Storage Pouch.

He took out the bottle of low-grade golden core pill.

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou's face lit up with joy, and he quickly put it away.

Afterwards, he threw the Storage Pouch back onto Young Master Lei.

He stepped on his escape light and left immediately. The two Golden Core Stage Cousins, seeing their Cousin leave, also quickly disappeared.

After the Soul imprint on the Storage Pouch was erased, Young Master Lei suffered a backlash, in excruciating pain.

He woke up directly from his unconscious state, but there was nothing in front of him.

Enduring the pain, he hurriedly grabbed the Storage Pouch on his chest, only to find the spot where the low-grade golden core pill had been was empty.

A scream rang out across the wilderness: "Ah!...!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Shopkeeper Wu!"

"Don't think I don't know it's you!"

"You didn't even bother to change your clothes when you came to rob me!"

"Robbing it back right after the trade, are you playing me for a fool?"

The two Golden Core Stage Attendants, hearing Young Master Lei's scream, hurriedly protected him.

After finding that Young Master Lei was unharmed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't want to risk their lives when they encountered those two Golden Core Cultivators earlier.

After all, they were only retainers who had joined the Lei Family just to earn Spirit Stones.

It wasn't worth losing their lives for a Young Master Lei.

If they had found Young Master Lei killed, they would have likely already run away by now.

If they didn't run, were they supposed to wait here and be buried with Young Master Lei?

These Families were not so easy to reason with!

After The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou snatched the low-grade golden core pill, he felt a bit uneasy; this time, a grudge had truly been formed.

But snatching a core formation pill made this grudge worth it.

He flew rapidly towards the Family compound on the mountain; as long as he entered the Family compound, he would be safe.

The Golden Core Stage Shopkeeper of Zhenbao Lou did not know how the other party had obtained this low-grade golden core pill.

Nor did he know that the other party had recognized him!

Young Master Lei sat blankly on the ground, one hand covering his head, recalling the sequence of events!

The other party sold the low-grade golden core pill to him using only that dispensable information!

This information was worthless to him!

So, being robbed this time wasn't really a loss!

He was just knocked unconscious, his Storage Pouch was opened, and his Soul was slightly injured.

But why did the other party do this?

Could there be some reason he didn't know about?

Young Master Lei hurriedly checked the items in his Storage Pouch and found that nothing else was missing.

He hurriedly searched his body to see if any tracking marks had been placed on him.

After checking his body, he checked the items in his Storage Pouch again.

Finding nothing unusual, he finally set his mind at ease.

Then why did the other party do this?

Should he report this matter to the Family?

Use the power of the Family to snatch the item back?

Young Master Lei became conflicted again; after all, he was the one who sold out Family information first. If an investigation happened, he would be in big trouble.

Furthermore, if he reported it, it might alert the Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestor.

After all, this involved the infighting between the two Families, and only the Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestor could suppress it.

If the Nascent Soul Stage Old Ancestor found out that he had sold out his information,

then his life would likely be over.

He could forget about getting any Cultivation resources in the Family from then on.

Even if the Family didn't pursue it in the end, he might still be isolated by the Family.
