the system of travel between the universe

Immediately, there was a change in the map. Ten people were in front, but they did not move from their place, which made Zhang Yong suspicious.

"Hey! Ming, did you insult someone?"

Su Ming thought for a moment, "No, as far as I know I haven't, are there enemies?"

Zhang Yong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Not sure, let's hide and watch."

Su Ming immediately nodded and the two stood hiding in one of the trees

When they took a look, they found those individuals, of which the two recognized five of them, they were disciples of the same sect with the uniforms, disciples often wore them when they went out so that they could be recognized, so that if someone bullied them, he couldn't say he didn't know them

*What a logic , i know*

On the other side, the other people were in different clothes

"Brothers, we did not come with the intention of doing harm, all we came for was to carry out a mission for our sect," spoke the individual at the front who seemed to be the leader, with long dark purple hair, with a smiling expression on his face as he bowed in greeting.

A person from the opposite group in a red robe, short brown hair and a sharp expression shouted at him, "Lin Fang, just hand over the profound lotus flower and we will let you go. Otherwise, we will crush every single bone of your body along with your friends"

The bodies of the group from the Star Sect trembled, making it clear how afraid they were. As a leader, he was the first to take the initiative, "Brother Xuan, there is no need for that, as you know our sects have been neighbors with each other for a long time, can't you give us some face?"

A girl walked up from behind Xuan with a calm smile on her face, she was wearing silk clothes with long silver hair, "Big Brother Xuan, this is just a trivial matter, no one will think that Lin Fang has insulted you."

Zhang Yong couldn't help but laugh discreetly as he looked down from the top of the tree, "This girl, even though it looks like she's resolving the conflict, she's just adding fuel to the fire." Then he turned to Su Ming, "This is none of our business, let's leave Su-" Suddenly Su ming disappeared from his place

Zhang Yong immediately turned his head towards the group in front of him and Su Ming had jumped towards them

He lightly hit his forehead, "That idiot, he seems to have hero syndrome."

Su Ming stepped between them and stood with Lin Fang, "Stop, who are you to aim at my brothers from the same sect?"

Anger appeared on Xuan's face, "Who are you? Are you from the Purple Star Sect as well?"

Xuan immediately stepped forward, "Good, I already had scores to settle with your sect members and now another individual has come, haha this is my lucky day!" Xuan started laughing loudly

"Hahaha, they are weak aren't they?" Zhang Yong also laughed out loud as he jumped up and stood next to Xuan

Xuan turned to Zhang Yong in confusion, "Who are you?"

Zhang Yong lightly hit Xuan's shoulder and continued to laugh, "Does it matter, they are so weak right? Weak that they make you laugh"

Nervously, Xuan continued to laugh, "You're right, haha."

Suddenly Zhang Yong waved his sword and the upper part of the Xuan flew away while the lower part remained in place, "That wasn't funny Kihihihi."

Xuan stared with wide-open eyes at his lower half and died in extreme fear and shock

Zhang Yong got down to Xuan's body and continued to laugh, "See, it's not funny when you die, at least to you."

Zhang Yong stood up and his body parts relaxed easily, "Ah, right, you will tell your sect elders that I killed him, right?"

All the members of the group trembled at the sound that emanated from the crazy man in front of them, as what happened caused them to tremble in their places.

The girl raised her hands, trembling, "N-No, we won't tell anyone. I'm from the Forgotten Flower Sect, I can-"

In an instant she was speechless, she saw the look in Zhang Yong's eyes, he didn't intend to leave them in the first place.

Zhang Yong shouted loudly, "Hohoho I don't think so, only the dead keep secrets, come here you bastards!"

At that same moment, Zhang Yong swung his sword

thorns!

Blood scattered in the air, it was the girl's blood, her head was cut off, she died instantly and couldn't even scream

Seeing her die, the rest retreated, a second late

Zhang Yong hummed to himself, "This is ridiculous, they want to escape just now?"

With one step, Zhang Yong pressed the ground with his foot and appeared in front of another member of the group

Clack!

The boy was cut in two equal halves, then he chased the remaining two and cut their throats

Lin Fang approached Su Ming, "Excuse me, may I know the name of our benefactors, I have never seen you two in the sect before."

Su Ming smiled softly, "I'm Su Ming, and that crazy person over there is Zhang Yong. It's actually only been a week since we joined."

The group's eyes revealed astonishment, these two names did not seem to be strange to them

One of the group spoke without thinking, "You mean that person from the rumours?"

"What a waste of a face like that," sighed a young girl, with the appearance of a noble lady with long black hair.

Zhang Yong returned calmly, still smiling, "Hey, how do you plan to dispose of the bodies? Do any of you have a shovel or something? I should remember to bring one next time."

Su Ming grumbled, "Why don't you just feed their corpses to the monsters, it's not like-"

Zhang Yong's fist came down on Su Ming's head, "Just shut up, you idiot. Don't you know how much trouble you're causing with what you've done?"

Lin Fang laugh lightly at the two's relationship, and then approached and smiled gently, "If you would excuse us, would you be so kind as to attend a meal with us?"

Zhang Yong and Su Ming stared at each other and did not reject the offer after all. It was a free meal

The two followed the group back to the sect, after delivering the mission materials

But from what Zhang Yong noticed, Lin Fang's group did not deliver what they called the Profound Lotus, which made him realize

Lin Fang was lying when he said it was material for a mission

But Zhang Yong did not pay much attention to this. Lying was a necessary trait for humans. It was almost impossible to not find someone who had never lied before.

Given the situation they were in and the importance of that flower to them, it was obvious that they would not give it up easily. They had a choice: either the option of fleeing, which it appears they did not choose, or the option of fighting if they had the strength to do so, but if they did not have the strength to escape, how could They had the strength to fight, so they made the quickest and most peaceful choice which was to lie

But lying itself requires high skill in persuasion itself. Lying without information is nothing but recklessness

Then the group headed to the dining hall

Inside the dining hall, Zhang Yong and Su Ming sat next to Lin Fang, while food was placed on the table in front of them

Before anyone could say anything, Su Ming started eating greedily

Zhang Yong watched Lin Fang warily and made a judgmental eye on him

(Name: Lin Fang

Age: 20

Level: 29 [In the Ninth Layer of the Master Realm]

Confidence:59 [Savior]

Body: nothing

)

After confirming the matter, he asked calmly, "You haven't told me yet, why that group attacked you?"

Lin Fang placed his elbow on the table and intertwined his fingers at his eye level, "They were seeking to steal the profound lotus flower from us, it is a necessary ingredient for preparing pills."

Lin Fang paused for a moment, that's when Zhang Yong asked him, "He wanted to kill you just for a lotus flower? As stupid as it sounds, it's unreasonable, what kind of pill is this exactly?"

Lin Fang replied, "Because those pills are very special, they are necessary for anyone who wants to enter the Thieves King's Shrine."

Zhang Yong's eyes softly lit up as he listened, "Oh, that sounds interesting, can you share more with us?"

Lin Fang smiled, "Of course, you are my savior after all, you may not know, but above the teacher/ guru Realm there is the Ancestor Realm and Venerable and then the King and Emperor. When a person reaches the King Realm he obtains the title of King, upon reaching the Emperor Realm he obtains the title of Emperor , The King of Thieves Shrine belongs to a powerful ancient martial artist. He left his legacy behind before he died. He got his title because he stole skills from all the major sects in the world."

Zhang Yong's eyes sparkled with excitement, "That's great. If we enter the shrine, we might get one of those skills. Hey, we'll participate with you. I can fight, while from what I know, Su Ming can make pills for you."

Lin Fang bowed slightly and placed his fist in his palm in front of him, "Then we will be under your care, my comrades and I are grateful to you for this."

Zhang Yong started eating and then asked, "Speaking of your comrades, why are they all so far away?"

The people who were with Lin Fang were relatively far away from Zhang Yong, as if he was infected with an infectious disease

Lin Fang scratched his face anxiously, "This is because of Brother Zhang's unique taste."

Zhang Yong looked blankly at Lin Fang, "Unique taste? What do you mean?"

Lin Fang blushed slightly, "Let me ask you, are you interested in men?"

Zhang Yong tilted his head, "Of course, fighting strong opponents will raise your skill right? I don't mind fighting anyone."

Lin Fang watched in confusion, "Wait, fighting them, you mean just for fighting and not for other things?"

Zhang Yong's eyebrows rose, "Of course, what do you think I am g-" Zhang Yong's face suddenly darkened and he got a sudden realization of what was happening.

With the same expression, he asked, "Where did you get this idea?"

Almost everyone's bodies trembled as they listened. Lin Fang replied with a trembling voice, "We...we heard rumours. The person was claiming to be someone you know."

Zhang Yong turned towards Su Ming, the latter of whom had quietly slipped away while Zhang Yong was discussing

Zhang Yong immediately stood up and held his sword in his hand, "Oh Su Ming, you really did it."

He swung his sword with his right hand and was about to attack Su Ming

Lin Fang and his entire group immediately jumped out, grabbing Zhang Yongchang Yong, some holding his hand, others his feet, and others his waist.

Zhang Yong shouted angrily, "Let me go, I'll take this mf's head right here."

Su Ming waved his hands as he pleaded, "Wait, I'm sorry, you said you hated everyone's looks at you so you did it."

Zhang Yong growled, "Is that what you want to say as your final words, okay show your neck, I'll cut it off with one blow, it won't hurt much."

The group tried to stop him, but they couldn't

"Calm down please"

"You should stop, you might hurt someone."

"How can he be so strong?"

After nearly half an hour of chasing between Zhang Yong and Su Ming, the two of them stopped, but still emitting killing intent towards Su Ming.

Lin Fang tried to calm the situation down, "ahhm, Brother Zhang, in fact, tomorrow we are going to the market to get materials to complete the pill making."

Zhang Yong asked curiously, "By the way, which pill do you need?"

"It's a Mist Barrier Pill," Lin Fang replied.

Upon hearing that, Su Ming spat out the tea, "Mist Barrier Pill?!" Su Ming wanted to curse, "Wait, does this mean there is a blood sea inside?"

Lin Fang was surprised, "I didn't expect Brother Su to know about the Bloody Sea."

Zhang Yong could only watch in silence

He didn't really know anything about this world

Su Ming raised his hand excitedly, "Of course, it is one of the most important places to collect materials. Fortunately, I know the recipe for this pill, I can make it."

"Then I will thank Brother Su in advance."Lin Fang smiled gratefully

That was the time when the two groups separated and everyone went their own way

The next day, they gathered in front of the door of the dining hall. Zhang Yong came with Su Ming while Lin Fang had come forward with the black-haired girl from yesterday.

"Brother Zhang." Lin Fang waved his hand to the two from afar

Zhang Yong and Su Ming stood in front of him, "Lin Fang...hmm, who is that behind you?" Zhang Yong said calmly.

Lin Fang replied with a smile, "I didn't know you before, this is my younger sister Lin Chu, she was with us when you saved us yesterday."

Lin Chu smiled and bowed slightly, "Thank you both for protecting us yesterday."

Zhang Yong raised his hands in annoyance, "That's enough. How many times have we told you there's no need to thank us? If it were up to me, I would have passed by without interfering, but this idiot here jumped in and I had to save him."

Lin Xiu's face looked a little disappointed, but she still smiled, "Okay then, as you wish."

The four of them walked towards one of the five cities under the rule of the Purple Star Sect

The sect's location is located in the middle between five cities, one of which is Maple Leaf, and the city to which the four were heading is Swallow City.

Within the city, Zhang Yong noticed a large two-story building, decorated with lights even though they were in broad daylight. A large, ornate building with a facade made of precious materials like jade and gold. Two majestic statues of a Qilin beast stood on either side of the door.

Zhang Yong immediately asked, "What is this place?"

Lin Fang turned towards the direction of the building and replied, "That is the Swallow City gambling house, and it is one of the largest betting places in the city."

Zhang Yong sighed regretfully, 'I don't understand anything about gambling, otherwise I would have entered.'

Ling Xi shouted upon hearing that, 'Did I hear you say gambling?'

Zhang Yong thought for a moment, 'Why, are you interested? Forget it, I only have four spirit stones at best.'

Ling Xi laughed sarcastically, "Hehe, no need to worry, just come in, if I help you you have to give me something in return."

Zhang Yong smiled softly, 'Okay.' Then he turned around and motioned to his companions, "Go ahead, I have to go somewhere."

The three looked at each other, then Lin Fang shook his head, "Okay, when you're done you'll find us at the herbal market."

Zhang Yong nodded and left, heading to the gambling house

When he entered, his attention was immediately drawn to the luxurious decor and lively atmosphere. The high ceiling is decorated with intricate carvings and sparkling chandeliers.

Red lanterns were hung

The first thing he heard was the sounds of gamblers shouting loudly from inside

At the entrance stood two girls in beautiful red robes. As soon as Zhang Yong passed by them, they immediately bowed, with red cheeks, "Please young master have a wonderful time and good luck."

Without even taking a look at them, Zhang Yong had advanced to the inner area, watching many games, mahjong and betting, card games and more.

'So Ling Xi, what are you planning to do?' Zhang Yong asked through his mind.

Immediately a transparent ghostly image came out next to Zhang Yong, it was the spiritual form of Ling Xi. 'This is easy, try dice games, they are the easiest and don't require much knowledge.'

Zhang Yong walked towards the dice table, where there were two circles, one with "Big" written on it and the other with "Small" written on it.

There was a man behind the table, placing his hand on an upturned glass on the table and calling out, "Last call, place your bets."

Ling Xi immediately put her head on the cup, as the cup passed through her and looked into it, since in this state no one could see her except Zhang Yong because he contracted her blood, Ling Xi indicated, 'Quickly, place your bet on the big one.'

Without thinking, Zhang Yong took out his four spiritual stones and bet everything on Senior

When the bets were over, the man raised the cup, revealing a dice. The number it indicated was the number five, large.

Zhang Yong's stones doubled from four to eight

His eyes immediately lit up, "Wow, that's amazing."

The man put the dice back in the cup and started moving them, then placed them on the table. "Please place your bets."

Ling Xi looked again through the cup, 'It's small, choose the small one.'

Zhang Yong extended his hand and was holding a single stone and placed it on the elder

Ling Xi shouted 'Hey! What are you doing? I told you you were young. Are you deaf?'

However, Zhang Yong did not answer her and did not pay attention to her. After the last call, the man raised the cup and the dice bore the number two.

Zhang Yong immediately shouted, holding his head with a sigh, "No, I lost my precious spiritual stone."

Ling Xi tilted her head curiously, 'Has he finally lost his mind?'

Zhang Yong immediately clarified, 'I'm not, this is an act. What do you think people will think if I win frequently? They will first try to find out how I cheated. Even if I don't cheat, it will be suspicious if I win a lot. They might even send someone after me. That's a hassle for me.' I don't want it. I have to calculate my losses and benefits well before making any move.'

Ling Xi thought for a while, 'Hmm, I understand. Okay, I guess it's time to earn some stones.'

After about an hour of betting, Zhang Yong won nearly a hundred spiritual stones. Once the stones reached this point, he decided to leave to avoid trouble.

Zhang Yong couldn't contain his excitement at his new crop, "Ah, I might end up with a gambling addiction, I'll come back once a month, that's better hehe."

He put the stones in the storeroom and decided to return to his comrades, but his shoulder was pulled from behind
