An Chen, with a large sum of cash in his qiankun bag, happily left Sun Zhijun's small shop, and Sun Zhijun waved goodbye with a smile.
An hour later, Ye Xinning, still dressed in her previous attire, arrived at the small shop.
"Oh, you're here?"
Ye Xinning didn't waste any words, placing two wooden boxes on the table.
"Eight hundred grams of the same leaves as last time, ninety-two thousand."
This time, she specifically asked Hong Shan for more Qingxin Grass Leaves.
Last time, the money she brought was far less than An Chen's, and she didn't want to make An Chen cover the cost again.
However, a hesitant expression appeared on Sun Zhijun's face.
"You... want cash too?"
"Yes, why? Don't you want to accept it?"
Ye Xinning raised an eyebrow, a little displeased.
Sun Zhijun certainly wanted to accept it; the more of this item he had, the better, as many people had been asking him for it these past few days, but he had no stock.
"I do want to, but I'm a bit short on cash..."
Sun Zhijun smiled apologetically.
"I only have sixty thousand in cash left right now."
Ye Xinning's forehead instantly bulged with veins, and she secretly cursed a few times under her breath, feeling inexplicably angry.
An Chen exchanged all the money and didn't even say a word!
...
"Are you sure it's this household?"
"Yes, confirmed, it's here."
Below a residential building, two people casually bought two bottles of water by scanning a code at a newsstand, seemingly chatting as if nothing was amiss.
"Wang Zhaoyang, a student from South City No. 2 Middle School, Class 3, Grade 9, lives on the third floor, Unit B, of this building in front of us. He took a leave of absence from school today and is resting at home... A very good opportunity."
"Where did you get this information from? So detailed? From above?"
"I followed his classmate's social media account. That idiot posts everything. The news about 'heroic villain bravely fighting villains' has a lot of traffic recently, and he posted a lot about it, revealing that Wang Zhaoyang is that heroic youth. Although most of it was deleted, I saved it."
"These young people nowadays..."
The two drank their beverages and walked towards the residential building in front of them.
They didn't even take the elevator, going directly up the stairs to the third floor.
"Now his parents are at work, and only the target is left at home. It's the perfect time for us to act."
"Why does that person above insist on capturing him?"
"It's not that he insists on capturing him; that person now wants any Transcendent. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to join the organization... This Wang Zhaoyang should already be a Cultivator, so his priority is higher."
"I heard this guy subdued two adults by himself. Can we even do it?"
One of them felt a little apprehensive.
They had both seen the previous news, and he was afraid of becoming the next villain to be subdued.
"What's there to be afraid of? He only subdued two foolish thieves, who were just ordinary people. And we are both Cultivator. Even if that kid is also a Cultivator, can he handle two of us? Besides, that person gave us Qi and Blood Pills for Body Refining. Our strength is much greater than ordinary people now. Can't we handle that little brat?"
The other, however, was nonchalant.
These two were indeed Cultivator, but their Realms were not high; they were both only at the Qi Refining First Stage.
Reaching the entrance of the stairwell on the third floor, the two exchanged glances and simultaneously drew the knives tucked into their clothes from their waists.
"This is Unit A... Here it is!"
The two arrived at the door of Unit B. A pair of sneakers, emitting a strong odor of foot odor, were placed outside the door.
"You kick it open, and I'll rush straight in."
One person stepped back a few paces and instructed the other.
Although this was an outward-opening door, it no longer mattered.
Anyway, with one kick, any door would be ruined for them.
Their strength was already more than double that of ordinary people.
"Hey, brother, I have a faster method, and it's quiet, so it won't attract attention."
The person who had stepped back suddenly felt someone pat him, frowned, and was about to say something when he remembered his teammate was right in front of him.
So the person behind him was...
"What are you..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the person behind him had already grabbed the knife in his right hand, and with a burst of force, twisted his wrist, causing the knife to fall directly to the ground.
With his other hand, he seized the back of the knife-wielding villain's neck, pulled him back, and slammed him hard onto the ground. His back of the head hit the ground, and he instantly lost consciousness, collapsing on the spot.
"Let me introduce myself. I am a Kunpeng member. You'd best surrender now."
The other villain was greatly alarmed. In just an instant, his teammate's wrist was fractured, and he lay on the ground.
He hadn't even clearly seen what happened.
"You... don't come closer!"
"It seems like a hastily formed organization... Are the members really this weak?"
But the Kunpeng member merely muttered to himself, then slowly walked towards the villain.
"Cooperate a little, and you won't have to suffer..."
However, the villain didn't listen, perhaps because he thought he was a Cultivator; he actually gripped his knife in reverse and lunged at the person in front of him.
"Sigh, what kind of trash is this?"
The Kunpeng member sighed, pinched the tip of the attacking knife, and then yawned.
"I took down your teammate in an instant. Don't you suspect the possibility that I'm also a Cultivator?"
After saying this, he exerted force, snapping the knife, then grabbed the villain's forearm and threw him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Just as the villain was about to cry out in pain, he found his neck squeezed, unable to even make a sound.
"Don't make a fuss. It wouldn't be good for the people upstairs and downstairs to hear, and you wouldn't be comfortable if others saw me pinning you to the ground, right?"
The Kunpeng member smiled sweetly, but in the villain's eyes, that smile was uglier than a demon's, leaving him unable to utter a single word.
This was also his first time doing something like this.
He thought that after obtaining a Cultivation Technique and becoming a Cultivator, no one would be able to control him. He never expected to encounter such a strong person on his first attempt!
This person actually casually pinched the tip of his knife with his fingers!
"Tsk." The Kunpeng member said with disdain: "You might as well be like him."
He delivered a knife-hand strike to the villain's neck, hitting the carotid sinus, causing him to faint on the spot.
Then, he clapped his hands, picked up the two men's weapons and fragments from the ground, put them into his qiankun bag, and then, one in each hand, dragged their bodies into the stairwell.
Immediately after, he took out a walkie-talkie and pressed the communication button.
"The fish are hooked, under control."
Zhang Wei's reply came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.
"Someone will meet you soon. You've worked hard. How is the target?"
The Kunpeng member patted his chest.
"Well protected."
