Chu Ci hid in the room, listening to the conversation outside, and secretly laughed in his heart.

There are already two corpses in his storage ring, and he doesn't know if a third person will come in to die.

The innkeeper was also confused about what had just happened. He looked at the three people in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Aren't you guys in cahoots? This is really weird."

As he spoke, he completely released his spiritual sense and focused on searching the inside of the room.

However, no matter how he searched, he found nothing unusual and the room was empty.

"I don't believe in evil anymore!"

The innkeeper muttered to himself and decided to go into the house and check it out himself. He had to find out the truth.

Just as he passed by the big man and the young monk, unexpectedly the big man suddenly shouted loudly and a fierce spell came towards the innkeeper's face.

The innkeeper was not unprepared. He dodged the attack skillfully with a flash of his body, and at the same time, he summoned his own spiritual weapon and shouted:

"I knew it was you guys who did this!"

The two people's spiritual weapons collided in the air, making two loud bangs. A huge spiritual power wave instantly swept across the entire lobby of the inn, and the tables, chairs and benches were shaken and scattered by this force.

"Third brother, the wind is strong and we can run away." The big man wanted to retreat immediately after failing to hit the target, so he shouted out a code word to remind his companions that it was not advisable to stay here for long.

However, no one around answered.

The big man's heart tightened. He turned around abruptly and looked behind him, his hair standing on end.

There was nothing behind him. The young monk whom he called the Third Brother disappeared without a trace in that instant.

The big man was extremely shocked and couldn't believe his eyes.

The third elder was a foundation-building cultivator. Although his cultivation was not as good as his own, it was impossible for him to disappear without a trace right under his nose and without making any sound.

The big man was completely confused at this time, with only one thought in his mind: leave as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he launched an attack towards the innkeeper without hesitation, then leaped up from the corridor and aimed directly towards the window.

The innkeeper quickly mobilized his spiritual power and fought back against the big man, not wanting to be outdone.

The big man had no time to care about the attack behind him, and only wanted to escape from the inn. He flew straight to the window like a cannonball.

With a deafening bang, the window shattered instantly under the powerful force, turning into countless fragments flying everywhere.

The innkeeper looked at the big man's departing back, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly blurred and a young man appeared in his sight.

Then, the innkeeper felt as if a steel needle had pierced his consciousness, and his awareness fell into darkness.

Even a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage was powerless to fight back against Chu Ci's attack.

After the big man flew out of the inn, he was terrified and flew away in a hurry.

Although he didn't know why the two companions suddenly disappeared, nor did he know whether they were in collusion with the innkeeper, the strange methods they displayed made him want to retreat and he had no intention of fighting them at all.

After flying for three or four miles, the big man finally saw the familiar backyard of the store.

He felt relieved and swooped down quickly, landing in the courtyard.

After landing, the big man walked towards the inner room. He planned to pack some necessary things and escape from here quickly.

At this moment, a faint voice sounded behind him:

"Where are you going, my friend?"

The big man was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a monk in green standing behind him. He was the monk they had followed during the day.

His heart skipped a beat and fear surged into his heart like a tide.

Chu Ci waved his hand, and four corpses fell out of the storage ring, including the innkeeper who was still alive and kicking just now.

The big man finally understood after seeing this. It turned out that this person had been observing them in secret since they entered the Xianyuan Inn, and they were completely unaware.

The other party has such means, and he knows without fighting that he is no match for him.

This seemingly ordinary cultivator in front of him is not a fat sheep at all, but clearly a senior master who is hiding his true talents.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you have anything to say to me?" Chu Ci's voice was still faint, but to the big man's ears, it sounded like a death warrant.

The big man trembled, and almost used up all his strength to squeeze out a sentence:

"Please spare my life, Senior. If you have any questions, I will answer them without hesitation."

Chu Ci looked into the big man's eyes with a sharp gaze and spoke slowly:

"There are so many people on the street, why did you choose me? Is there someone who is instructing you?"

The big man's face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat. He did not dare to hide anything and quickly replied: "In the Red Horse Merchant Alliance... we have people... Every time there is a single cultivator coming from outside the area... as long as their cultivation is not too high... we will leave a mark on them..." His voice trembled and was full of fear.

Chu Ci nodded slightly after hearing this. This result was not beyond his expectations.

He asked again in a deep voice: "What are the names of the people in the Red Horse Merchant Alliance?"

The big man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and then said in a low voice: "It's my sister, she is a clerk in the Red Horse Merchant Alliance, she...she told me. She said that you came from a far distance using a teleportation array and spent more than 10,000 spirit stones, so she asked us to keep an eye on you."

Chu Ci frowned. He originally thought that it was Fairy Zhou or Lu Yiming who was behind this, but after hearing what the big man said, it seemed that it was done by a female clerk in the Chamber of Commerce.

Come to think of it, Lu Yiming is not a local cultivator, and Fairy Zhou seems to belong to the management of the Chamber of Commerce, so they should not attack their own family members.

"What's your sister's name and what's her cultivation level?" Chu Ci remembered that the female cultivators in the shop should all be cultivators in the Qi Refining realm.

The big man took a deep breath and replied, "My sister's name is Wang Hui, and she has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining." After he finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Chu Ci would not believe him, he added, "She works in the medicine area."

Chu Ci frowned and asked, "I did spend 15,000 spirit stones, but there are many cultivators in the Merchant Alliance who are richer than me. Why did you choose me?"

Chu Ci remembered witnessing with his own eyes a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building spending 450,000 spirit stones at one time. That person's cultivation level was the same as his, but he was much more generous than himself.

The big man seemed a little nervous, and his voice became lower:

"Those who can take out hundreds of thousands of spirit stones at once usually come from big families with huge power. How dare we easily provoke them? We are only targeting those independent cultivators with a little wealth, and your spending level just meets our target."

Chu Ci sneered in his heart, it seemed that what the big man said was true. However, in order to survive, he even betrayed his own sister without hesitation. Such a person, Chu Ci would naturally not spare his life.

Thinking of this, a ball of dark green flame condensed in Chu Ci's hand.

For Chu Ci, the information he wanted to know had been obtained, and the life or death of the Han Dynasty was no longer important.

When the big man saw this scene, his face turned extremely pale in an instant, and he begged:

"Don't... don't kill me. I have already answered everything you asked."

Chu Ci remained unmoved, and the Yuan-devouring Phantom Fire was about to take action and end the man's life.

However, at this moment, the big man suddenly shouted: "Wait! I know something else that I think you will be interested in!"
