Zhang Youcai had actually caught a glimpse of the Hanzi (Man) who had died.
At that time, the Hanzi (Man) had already perished, and a circle of people surrounded him; he had seen it from the rooftop looking down.
When the Hanzi (Man)'s corpse was loaded into the car, he saw the tattered body and the large and small bullet holes on it.
He was truly astonished by the methods of these Mortals.
Too brutal!
He believed about eighty percent of what Su Xiaojiu said.
"Whether in Kyushu or here, we stand on our own abilities. How I live is my business."
The implication was: You'd best not interfere with me.
This was a very impolite statement.
"Then let's both take a step back. I won't interfere with you or anything you do. You just need to leave this area and stop showing your Face. If you still want that excavator, I can help you find it."
With An Chen around, wouldn't finding a few excavators be easy?
Just find a large construction site, and there wouldn't be enough excavators for Zhang Youcai to steal... or rob!
"I refuse."
Zhang Youcai shook his head, a playful smile appearing on his Face.
"My master said that people like us should be unrestrained and free, unaffected by anyone. I don't want to compromise. Those Mortals can't catch me, and as for you... you can leave too, can't you? Just leave this place?"
Su Xiaojiu gritted her teeth.
She knew the disposition of Jubao Daoren and Selling Goods Immortal, so she wasn't surprised by how Jubao Daoren's disciple was behaving.
In fact, it would be problematic if Zhang Youcai wasn't like this.
After all, quite a few people had been angered by Jubao Daoren.
"Can you take him down?"
An Chen's helpless voice came from the phone.
He had listened to the entire conversation and was now twitching his eyebrows.
Logically, Su Xiaojiu had been very polite. An Chen originally thought Su Xiaojiu's reputation should be quite significant, after all, she had a Sect Master of a First-Rate Power as her father. With such a background, who wouldn't give her some Face?
But this person named Zhang Youcai, he didn't give any Face at all?
This was too outrageous.
"No."
Su Xiaojiu brought the phone close to her mouth and whispered.
"His master is Jubao Daoren. Although his strength isn't particularly strong, he's quite famous and has many connections. If I tie up his disciple, even my father would have a bit of a headache. Most likely, he'd even beat me until I apologized..."
Not quite understanding what kind of existence Jubao Daoren was, An Chen couldn't give random advice and only left three words on the phone.
"Stall him."
Although she didn't understand why An Chen said that, Su Xiaojiu still complied.
After all, she also felt that An Chen's mind was much better than her own, and listening to An Chen at times like this was always right.
"Alright, since you insist, I have nothing more to say. However, do you really not want more excavators?"
"Yes, of course, I do. If you can provide some, I can also exchange them for something. You know my master's rule: no cheating, whether young or old."
Su Xiaojiu smiled.
"I can't give you ready stock directly, but I can give you an address. There, you'll find many excavators; you can just go and take them."
"That works too, but this will be at a discounted price..."
Zhang Youcai pinched his chin, thinking for a moment.
"For one excavator, I'll give you... two hundred Spirit Stones, how about that?"
Su Xiaojiu was a little surprised.
"You're willing to give that much?"
After all, these were just tools made of Mortal iron. In An Chen's words, these were the most basic machinery in this world, not particularly valuable.
However, Su Xiaojiu also knew.
Zhang Youcai, who learned from Jubao Daoren, would never offer a price that would make him lose money.
Since he was willing to offer this price, it meant he had a way to sell these excavators for a higher price.
After saying that, Su Xiaojiu realized something was wrong and immediately covered her mouth.
"So... I offered too much?"
Zhang Youcai cracked his knuckles and laughed:
"How about half price?"
"Two hundred, just two hundred!"
Su Xiaojiu shook her head.
"Without you, I could still get these things. As long as I guard that place, those things called excavators will continuously appear..."
"No, what will appear next are the people who will catch you!"
Su Xiaojiu argued loudly.
Just then, Su Xiaojiu heard the piercing sound of police sirens, the sound growing louder from a distance, quickly reaching the alley entrance.
Blinding white light shone into the alley.
"Stealth, then run!"
An Chen's shout came from the phone.
An Chen hadn't done nothing earlier; he had thoughtfully helped the construction site call the police, even specifying this alley.
Su Xiaojiu understood immediately, and two Talismans appeared in her hand. One of them was clearly the Stealth Talisman she had used many times, and as for the other...
Su Xiaojiu ignited both Talismans simultaneously. As her body became invisible, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept through the alley.
The gauze robe made of Spirit-Concealing Silk that Zhang Youcai held in his hand fluttered, and he almost couldn't hold onto the garment.
Zhang Youcai was forced to put away the gauze robe.
Spirit-Concealing Silk could hide objects, and even conceal their Spirit Qi fluctuations and heat, but it also had a fatal flaw: it was too light.
When made into a gauze robe, its surface area greatly increased, causing it to fly with even a slight breeze. If the wind was a bit stronger, even when worn, it would float around erratically, failing to serve its purpose of concealing Spirit Qi.
If he didn't put it away now, this precious Spirit-Concealing Robe might be blown away by the wind later.
Zhang Youcai also figured out Su Xiaojiu's true intention.
"Jifeng Talisman!"
Zhang Youcai's teeth grated audibly.
"I'm going to escape with the wind, sorry about that, good luck to you!"
Su Xiaojiu's playful voice came from the air.
Her actions weren't a direct attack on Zhang Youcai; she was merely using a trick to pit one against another and cutting off Zhang Youcai's escape route.
A powerful flashlight beam entered the alley, shining on Zhang Youcai's Face, causing him to instinctively squint.
With an exaggerated description over the phone, An Chen almost directly said the words "Transcendents Cultivator," so the police who arrived this time were directly Martial Police.
They were fully equipped, well-trained, and all their firearms were loaded.
The moment they saw Zhang Youcai, there was the sound of guns being raised and aimed, and the angry shouts of the front-row Martial Police.
"Don't move!"
"Put down your weapon!"
Zhang Youcai's attire was too characteristic of the Kyushu Continent, so a team of Martial Police almost immediately confirmed his identity as a Transcendent.
"I clearly wasn't holding any weapon."
Zhang Youcai mumbled, but the heavily armed Martial Police clearly didn't hear him. They just approached him cautiously, their gun barrels constantly pointed at his head.
Zhang Youcai sighed and reached into his embrace.
"Don't move recklessly!"
But Zhang Youcai completely ignored the Martial Police's warning and continued to rummage through his embrace on his own.
"Open fire!"
