“Boss, you’re so strong!”

In a remote alley stood a long-faced cultivator with a bandage on his face. He was flanked by two young cultivators with bruised faces. The three men didn’t have high cultivation strengths.

Before them, there was a robust black-cloaked cultivator, who looked like an iron tower, emitting a gloomy and chilly evil aura. In his hand was a big bag made of human skin; it was obviously a good spiritual artifact.

“This girl interrupted our business and even beat us!” The cultivators with a bandage on his face sneered, “Luckily, we have you, Boss!”

“Hehehe…” The others rubbed their hands and laughed coldly. “Boss, your Soul-Binding Bag is indeed powerful. This girl got hit before she had time to react!”

“Right! The bag just engulfed her instantly!” The cultivator with bandage said, “She even didn’t have time to scream! Hahahaha!”

The black-cloaked cultivator moved his fingers slightly, and the human-skin bag opened automatically, revealing a red-clothed girl. The saber-shaped token on the chest of her blouse was very eye-catching.

The big guy wearing the black cloak seemed to recognize the token, and his face turned weird. “Is this… the Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild?!”

“The Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild?” The other cultivators snickered. “Boss, what’s that?”

One of them suddenly shivered. “I heard that Qin Honglin and his group were destroyed because they messed with a force named the Heaven-Defying Something Guild. Is she from that guild?”

They suddenly had chills running down their spines. “Boss, what should we do now? Should we release her?”

“Release her?” The cultivator in black smiled while he stared at Ruan Ning; he seemed to have made a decision. “Do you know how much this woman is worth? Do you know how much money this woman made on the auction at the Heaven-Hiding Pavilion?!”

“How much?”

“360,000! Crystals!”

The others widened their eyes, and they stared at the girl before them as if they were staring at an ultimate treasure!

“Then, we are going to be rich!” 360,000 crystals was a fortune that they wouldn’t be able to earn in several lifetimes!

They shivered in excitement.

“But…” one of them asked, “She isn’t so dumb as to walk around with so much money on her.”

“I have a way to make her hand over the money willingly!” The cultivator with the black cloak said contemptuously.

Hearing his words, all the other cultivators panted with excitement. All they could think of was 360,000 crystals, which seemed to be a mountain of crystals in front of them. They felt like if they reached out their hands, they could get it!

…

Meanwhile, Mr. Fang was holding the award ceremony. The three godly weapons were in three exquisite black ebony gift boxes, and the Wilma Cornett was on the side.

All the people were cheering.

The cultivators of the Morning Star Sea Realm passed the three godly weapons around. They eagerly looked at the heavy and thick Judgement Staff, the holy-looking and exquisite Dragon Mark Sword, and the legendary Bone Jade Staff.

Mr. Fang was relieved that he had finished another big event since the opening of this shop. However, he felt like something was missing.

At this moment, Ruan Ning walked in. She looked more reserved than usual and greeted people politely, congratulating the Morning Star Sea Realm cultivators on gaining control of the Sand City.

“Sorry for being late…”

Xi Yue had a weird feeling, but she couldn’t tell why. Her presence showed that she was indeed Ruan Ning. As her long-time friend, Xi Yue would certainly see through if she were an imposter.

At this moment, others who were familiar with her also looked her way.

Zou Mo also felt weird, and his eyes opened wider involuntarily.

A strong light entered his pupils. While his cultivation strength grew, he rarely dared to look at the world with wide-open eyes as there were a lot of bright light sources that were eye-piercing to him.

“Ugh?” Ning Bi seemed to notice the situation here and saw the mysterious flowing light in Zou Mo’s eyes.

“Bo…” Zou Mo seemed like he was going to call out to his boss, but at this moment, Ruan Ning walked over. Her seemingly calm face had a sheen of sweat; it was unnoticeable if one didn’t look at her closely.

Meanwhile, Fang Qi finished handing out the prizes.

Suddenly, his communication jade blinked. [Boss, Sister Ruan Ning looks weird… She seems to be missing one of her spiritual souls and one of her physical souls.]

[TL Note: In Daoism, it is believed that a complete soul of humans is made up of three spiritual souls which represented Yang Energy and seven physical souls that represented Yin Energy.]

It was a message from Zou Mo.

“!!??” Fang Qi’s smile instantly turned grim.

[How did you find out?] Fang Qi asked through the communication jade.

Zou Mo, [I don’t know… I felt the blinding light in my eyes, and then I just saw it…”

Fang Qi, [Got it. Don’t make a rash move. Satisfy all her demands.]

“Ningning looks strange today…” Xi Yue murmured to herself and was going to walk up but was pulled back by Fang Qi who shook his head at her.

“What…”

Meanwhile, Ruan Ning took out the over 300,000 crystals that she had deposited in the shop. Without getting online or buying snacks, she walked out of the door as if nothing had happened.

[What happened?] The shrewd Mo Tianxing had found that something was strange, and he sent a message to Fang Qi immediately.

Meanwhile in a house about ten streets away, a few cultivators were cheering in celebration. “Hahahah! Boss, you’re so powerful. That group of pigs obviously haven’t realized what is going on!”

With a chilly smile on his face, the black-cloaked cultivator’s presence turned gloomier as if he had come from Hell.

[Trouble?] Another message came, [Do you need Big Sister’s help?]

Fang Qi looked up and saw the charming smile on Ning Bi’s gorgeous face.

[That little guy has special eyes. Did he see something?]

“Do you know anything about souls?” Fang Qi’s reply was concise.

“It’s about souls? It’s troublesome then.”

Fang Qi’s face turned dark. “Name your price.”

[I want a computer too. That thing named Alienware in the shop in Qzone looks good.] Her eyes squinted with a smile, looking like a fox spirit which could charm any man she wanted.

Fang Qi’s face twitched and knew that he had to give up all the fortune he made through stealing vegetables.

[I’ll buy it for you!]

[I also want the King of Fighters 97 and the joystick setup!]

[Okay, okay. You will get them!]

[Can I learn Orochi’s spiritual spells?] This was what she wanted the most.

Mr. Fang sat down before his computer in Qzone and shook the joystick violently. He chose Chris of the Flames of Destiny and then heavily pressed several buttons. The character suddenly changed into a black shadow!

It was the black figure when Orochi appeared!

“What do you think?”

Ning Bi pointed at Zou Mo with her snow-white finger and said, “That little guy should be able to lead me to that little girl’s spiritual soul and physical soul. However, it’s not convenient for me to show my hand, so I can only guard her spiritual soul and physical soul for a while. The rest is on you.”

Fang Qi exhaled heavily. “That’s enough.”

Zou Mo was still in a daze. Fang Qi patted him on the head and asked, “Can you find it?”

“I…” Zou Mo looked fearful.

“Little Mo, how did you Sister Ruan Ning treat you?” Fang Qi asked.

“She is like my real older sister!” Zou Mo gritted his teeth and said in a loud voice, “I know what I should do, Boss! I’ll do my best!”

Fang Qi patted his shoulder and said with a nod, “Just take this sister with you, and we’ll come later.”

…

After Zou Mo was gone with Ning Bi, Fang Qi glanced around the room. “It seems our Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild is not famous enough. How come someone still dares to conspire against us? I plan to go out and do some business. Do you want to go with me?”

Mo Tianxing understood Fang Qi’s meaning. “We old guys will go!”

“Do business?” The leaders of the forces such as the Yuanheng Pavilion and the Coiled Dragon Office had just won the Battle of the Sand City, and they were eager to engage in a fight to test their newly obtained god-tier items, such as the Bone Jade Staff and the Dragon Mark Sword. “Sir, can you take us with you?”

“I’ll go too!” After playing the Legend of Mir 2 for a while, Red Wing Daoist had found that he couldn’t go far if he remained an independent player. Since he didn’t want to lower himself and stay below people, he decided to join the neutral and chill Heaven-Defying Online Games Guild. After leveling up and getting treasures with the help of the guild for a while, he felt like he had to do something when he could help.

“So many people?” Fang Qi was surprised; he had only planned to bring some of the members of his own guild.

Tang Yuan clutched the Bone Jade Staff tightly. “Hahahaha! Let me test the power of the Bone Jade Staff!”

“What are you going to do? I want some blood on my Dragon Mark Sword! If you don’t take us with you, we’ll follow you anyway!”

Fang Qi’s face twitched, surprised that these guys would try to help him without him asking!
