“Oh my goodness…”
Yuan Lihuan looked at the text message on his phone, while the man with the short buzz cut touched his head and gasped in surprise.
He had also seen the content of the text message.
“You’re saying this kid, who looked so unremarkable, is actually quite impressive? He’s already brought us some performance?”
“Zhang Wei, what nonsense are you spouting! How is he unremarkable? I think he’s much handsomer than you! Look at your head, with hardly any hair, how can you compare to him!”
“I shaved it myself!”
“Enough.”
Yuan Lihuan suddenly stood up, turned around, and lightly coughed twice, making his two bickering subordinates stop.
“Let’s go, let’s see the big gift he’s given us.”
He put his phone into his pocket and then quickly walked towards the office door.
The two behind him exchanged glances, shrugged simultaneously, and showed helpless expressions.
...
An Chen knew that a certain urban village was undergoing renovation, and at this moment, that area was already a mess of demolition, full of construction vehicles and machinery.
This construction area was very large, with many excavators, which perfectly suited Zhang Youcai’s needs.
“What do you think of this place?”
An Chen pointed to the construction site in front of them, smiling.
“Hahaha! Good!”
Zhang Youcai laughed loudly, patting An Chen’s shoulder.
“I still don’t know how to address you, brother?”
“You can call me Sun He.”
Su Xiaojiu showed a puzzled expression and was about to ask a question but was stifled by a glare from An Chen.
“Good, good, good!”
Zhang Youcai said “good” three times in a row, but his gaze remained fixed on the continuously working excavators in the distance.
These were the things that truly attracted him; becoming sworn brothers with this “Sun He” was secondary.
This large area of excavators in front of him, they were all money.
And on this construction site, besides excavators, there were many other pieces of machinery that looked quite interesting, all of which could be collected and taken back.
Zhang Youcai was about to walk forward when he was suddenly pulled back by An Chen.
“What’s wrong?”
“You can take the items, but remember not to harm anyone.”
Zhang Youcai smiled.
“They are just Mortals.”
“I am also a Mortal.”
Zhang Youcai was startled, then nodded.
“Okay.”
Only then did An Chen release his hand with relief.
There was also a gate at the entrance of the construction site, with a barrier wall next to it, but for someone like Zhang Youcai, the gate and the wall were no different; he simply leaped over them with ease.
While in the air, he had already put on his Hidden Spirit Clothes and disappeared.
“What should we do?”
“Of course, we leave. The people I called will arrive soon.”
“What about the Spirit Stone…”
“Do you really think I’m doing business with him?”
An Chen smiled and tapped Su Xiaojiu’s head.
“Just scamming him.”
Suddenly, exclamations, screams, and angry curses erupted from the construction site.
Having witnessed how Zhang Youcai snatched excavators, Su Xiaojiu could already imagine the scene inside.
“Let’s go!”
The two quickly left.
No sooner had the two left than Yuan Lihuan’s car arrived. This time, he was only accompanied by Zhang Wei and another subordinate; the group of officials did not follow.
Yuan Lihuan had deliberately not informed anyone, fearing that tails might follow.
When performing fieldwork, the fewer extraneous people, the better.
He didn’t know why, but these people seemed to have received some news and were all trying to curry favor with him, the head of the Kunpeng Organization.
As soon as the car stopped at the construction site entrance, Yuan Lihuan heard the noisy sounds from inside.
This was different from the usual noise of a construction site, because there were no shouts of command, only clearly articulated curses.
“Go!”
The people on duty at the construction site gate weren’t even paying attention; they were Dizzy staring at the situation inside the construction site, so much so that after the three of them climbed over the turnstile and ran in, they only realized it belatedly.
“Hey! You can’t go in! You’re not wearing hard hats!”
He hurriedly chased after them, but found that these three were incredibly fast, and he couldn’t catch up at all.
From a distance, Yuan Lihuan saw a construction loader suddenly disappear into thin air. Soon after, the driver on an adjacent excavator was thrown out by an unseen force, and then the excavator also vanished.
“Someone is using a qiankun bag.”
Zhang Wei deduced.
“You two divide the work. One goes to find the construction site manager, the other goes to disperse the crowd. This Cultivator is mine.”
Yuan Lihuan took off his jacket and tossed it to Zhang Wei.
Then, he quickly walked towards the location where the excavator had vanished into thin air.
His movements seemed to be merely a fast walk, but his speed was surprisingly quick, almost faster than an adult man running at full speed.
Zhang Wei and the other person also moved quickly.
Zhang Youcai had just collected another excavator and was searching for his next target when he discovered Yuan Lihuan rapidly approaching.
No spiritual energy fluctuations, an Aura no different from a Mortal, an ordinary Mortal… right?
He almost instinctively made a judgment, but immediately realized something was wrong.
Can a Mortal run this fast?!
Then he realized there was another possibility when he couldn’t detect the other party’s spiritual energy fluctuations and Aura: that the other party’s strength was far above his own.
Perhaps because, besides the Transcendents from the Nine Continents, the “locals” here were all Mortals, he subconsciously overlooked this possibility.
“Holy crap, there’s an expert!”
Zhang Youcai was greatly alarmed.
He hadn’t expected that in this godforsaken alternate world, there would actually be an expert he couldn’t see through!
He no longer cared about the dozen or so excavators and several loaders still on the construction site. He took out a Talisman from his qiankun bag and was about to ignite it.
This was a Teleportation Talisman he usually used for escaping, which could instantly teleport him to a place within ten li.
In fact, he had higher-grade Teleportation Talismans with a longer range, but he felt ten li was far enough.
However, after the Teleportation Talisman burned, the imagined instant teleportation did not occur.
Zhang Youcai suddenly found that the space around him was confined. He looked up and saw that the incoming person’s hand still held some ashes from burned Talisman paper.
“Confinement Talisman! He actually has this thing!”
Moreover, the grade of this Confinement Talisman was not low; it was more than enough to trap a Spirit Nurturing Stage Cultivator, let alone him.
“Come out, you can’t escape!”
The grade of the Hidden Spirit Silk was extremely high, so the effect of the Hidden Spirit Clothes was very good. Even Yuan Lihuan couldn’t see through Zhang Youcai’s figure. He could only roughly determine his position through the spiritual energy fluctuations generated when he used the qiankun bag, and then use a Confinement Talisman to seal the space.
Yuan Lihuan flicked his wrist, and a blade suddenly appeared in his hand. After he gripped this blade, he seemed to transform into a different person. His Aura climbed steadily, giving off a feeling of natural authority.
A surging spiritual energy fluctuation erupted from Yuan Lihuan’s body. At this moment, he no longer suppressed his Aura, releasing it completely.
Zhang Youcai took one look, and his legs trembled so much that he almost knelt down.
“You, you, you, you… How are you a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator?!”
