Old Friend

Mi Yuanfeng stared at Zhou Yuan in disbelief, his mind buzzing. How many people had this guy robbed?

Mi Yuanfeng swallowed, then an embarrassed expression appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist, our Peiyuan Pavilion has limited financial resources; we might not be able to take all of this at once!"

Mi Yuanfeng was very embarrassed; there was simply too much stuff here.

Zhou Yuan frowned slightly. He had only taken out less than one percent, yet he didn't expect the other party couldn't handle it.

He waved his hand, directly taking back half, then looked at Mi Yuanfeng and said, "How about the rest of these?"

Mi Yuanfeng nodded slightly, then said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment while I tally them up!"

It took Mi Yuanfeng a full hour to tally everything; he was already numb.

Inside were Magical Artifacts and Spiritual Artifacts, hundreds of them, including various weapons like knives, swords, spears, staffs, scissors, lances, hammers, axes, and shields.

These weapons alone were enough to establish a Sect.

Mi Yuanfeng's forehead was sweating. Finally, after a final calculation, he gave Zhou Yuan a price.

Besides several million Spirit Stones, he also used many Medicinal Pills to settle the debt, practically emptying out Peiyuan Pavilion!

Zhou Yuan hardly haggled and agreed directly!

Mi Yuanfeng left the room and returned after about half an incense stick of time, handing Zhou Yuan a Storage Ring.

Zhou Yuan's Divine Soul swept over it, finding no problems, and then he and Mi Yuanfeng left the room!

In Peiyuan Pavilion, several guests had arrived, one of whom was a woman wearing a bamboo hat, making it impossible to see her face clearly!

As he and Mi Yuanfeng emerged from inside, they immediately attracted the attention of several people.

Those who could enter such a room to discuss business were all major clients!

Zhou Yuan's gaze swept over these people, finally resting on the woman wearing the bamboo hat.

For some reason, he felt a bit familiar with this person, but without seeing her face, he couldn't judge for a moment!

However, he quickly noticed that the woman had already completed her transaction and left Peiyuan Pavilion in a hurry.

As soon as the woman left, two men in Peiyuan Pavilion exchanged glances and followed closely behind her.

Zhou Yuan's heart stirred. He truly felt the other party was familiar, so he waved goodbye to Mi Yuanfeng and also left!

Outside Peiyuan Pavilion, Zhou Yuan originally wanted to use Heavenly Evolution Technique to investigate, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

He had nothing to do anyway, so it wouldn't hurt to follow along and see!

The woman wearing the bamboo hat walked quickly, seemingly sensing someone following her, and her steps quickened.

But the two men following behind her also quickened their pace!

Soon after, they finally deviated from the main street and entered a small alley, where the woman wearing the bamboo hat was blocked by the two men!

The two men stared at the woman's graceful figure, a wicked smile simultaneously appearing at the corners of their mouths.

The woman wearing the bamboo hat retreated step by step, quickly backing into a corner!

Both of these men were at the Early Stage of Golden Core Realm, not very high in cultivation.

But the woman's cultivation was even worse, only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment Realm!

"Haha, I've been cooped up like crazy lately. Today, I finally found someone to have some fun with!"

One man laughed loudly, his eyes constantly scanning the woman's body!

"What do you want to do? I can give you my Storage Ring; please let me go!"

The woman's voice trembled uncontrollably as she cowered in the corner.

The other man chuckled, then grabbed. A huge suction force emanated from his hand, and the bamboo hat on the woman's head flew off directly, caught by the man.

As the bamboo hat flew off, it revealed a cascade of black hair, beneath which a pair of terrified, panicked eyes were exposed.

At the same time, a face with a long scar was also exposed to the two men!

The smiles on the two men's faces instantly froze!

Although part of the woman's face was covered by her hair, this single long scar was enough to extinguish all their lust!

"Damn it, how unlucky! So it's an ugly monster! Hand over your Storage Ring, or die!"

One man cursed angrily. After squatting for so many days, he found it completely different from what he expected, which was truly speechless!

The smile on the other man's face also disappeared. They hadn't reached the point of being desperate!

The woman's tears continuously rolled down as she tremblingly reached out her left hand to take off the Storage Ring on her right hand.

"Crack!"

Two consecutive sounds rang out. The woman looked up, a hint of terror appearing in her eyes!

The two men who had just threatened her had their necks directly twisted off by someone. Their eyes were wide open, filled with terror.

These two men never dreamed that they would die here!

The person who acted was naturally Zhou Yuan. His eyes were exceptionally cold. After taking the two men's Storage Rings, he waved his hand, and two fireballs incinerated their bodies clean!

Then Zhou Yuan turned around and looked at the woman with the long scar on her face, his expression exceptionally complex.

He hadn't expected to meet her here.

The woman's hand, which was reaching for the Storage Ring, stopped. Her originally terrified eyes suddenly changed, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Tears flowed down like a bursting dam, unstoppable!

The woman suddenly thought of something, cried out, covered her face with her hands, and then ran off into the distance, not even bothering with her bamboo hat!

Zhou Yuan sighed, picked up the bamboo hat from the ground, and followed closely behind the woman.

One stumbled and ran ahead, while the other followed behind with mixed emotions. They passed through one alley after another, then came out onto the main street again!

Zhou Yuan watched the woman run into a courtyard and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Yuan's gaze fell on the words 'Yuncai Hall' in the distance, his heart filled with emotion.

Fate is a wondrous thing. When he entered the Yuncai Hall yesterday, he smelled the fragrance of Medicinal Pills coming from next door, but he didn't pay much attention.

But today, he came here again and only then discovered that someone he knew was living there!

Zhou Yuan didn't rush in. His Divine Soul was incredibly powerful, and he heard the sound of crying coming from inside the courtyard!

He knew very well that the other party must have suffered a lot over the years, and it was good for her to vent.

He found it hard to imagine how a weak woman, with such low cultivation, managed to travel from Xingan City to Fanxing City in Saint Talisman Domain.

Zhou Yuan could tell at a glance that the long scar on her face didn't look like it was inflicted by someone else; it looked more like self-mutilation.

Scenes from the past flashed through Zhou Yuan's mind like a movie, making the expression in his eyes even more complex!

Zhou Yuan let out a long, turbid breath. Since he had encountered her, he had to offer help.

After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated. His body flickered, and he directly entered the small courtyard!
