System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

The organization that controls Dead Sea City, while it does sell information to the outside world, would never include such rumors.

Therefore, although Chen Xuan consumed several cups of fine wine this time, the information he gained was truly valuable.

As noon approached, most of the independent cultivators in the restaurant left one after another. Chen Xuan, as if he had just woken up from a deep dream, led Bai Li away gracefully.

"Young friend, you must not forget that we must gather at the main gate of Dead Sea City early tomorrow morning, as the Dead Sea sunken wooden boat will be turning back tomorrow."

Although the old man had been completely tricked into revealing his information, he had also drunk his fill of the Dragon Saliva, and was so engrossed in the flight that he was swaying unsteadily, which showed how deeply he was intoxicated.

Chen Xuan bowed to the old man from afar to bid him farewell, and then, following the information provided by the old man, sped off towards a certain location in Dead Sea City.

Shortly after Chen Xuan and his servant flew away.

At another street corner, the disheveled old man in the yellow robe was surrounded by a group of cultivators. Among them were men and women, three of whom were disciples of sects who possessed the strength of the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

The old man was startled to be surrounded by the crowd, but he quickly regained his composure and sneered, "Gentlemen, do you not know where you are? How dare you kill and rob here?"

Having spent decades in Dead Sea City, the disheveled old man in the yellow robe still possessed this much discipline and confidence.

Upon hearing this, a cold-looking young man who was the leader waved his hand slightly and said with a smile, "Old man, don't worry. We are not here to ambush you." The other two men, dressed in the standard attire of sect disciples, also nodded with smiles, but their smiles were tinged with coldness and ill intent.

"That's right, we just want to buy some information from you."

The sudden influx of business, like a windfall of wealth, startled the disheveled old man. He then hesitantly scanned the crowd and asked, "What information?"

"Hmph, those two, master and servant, at the Immortal's Drunken Wine Shop just now..." The three leaders stared intently at the old man, a chilling smile spreading across their lips as they inquired.

Upon hearing that everyone had set their sights on Chen Xuan and his companion, the old man was startled and instinctively wanted to refuse. However, before he could finish speaking, a lightning-fast thought flashed through his mind.

He quickly scanned the crowd and determined from their auras that the three leaders were all experts of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and there were nearly twenty other cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Are you all in cahoots?" The disheveled old man looked hesitantly at the three leading sect disciples. "Those two are definitely not to be trifled with."

Upon hearing this, the cold-faced man chuckled softly: "A rogue cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm only dares to sip a cup of Drunken Dragon Saliva. Such restraint must mean he intends to go to Qingtian County to join a sect."

"Yes, that Drunken Dragon Saliva Immortal Wine has spiritual energy like a raging volcano. He certainly wouldn't dare to drink too much, for fear of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"Old man, if you know what's good for you, obediently reveal all the information, otherwise..." In an instant, the eyes of the other rogue cultivators around them all gleamed with greed, as if a pack of hungry wolves had set their sights on delicious prey.

"With our strength, are we really not capable of dealing with a mere rogue cultivator?"

Seeing the old man's expression change, as if he was about to waver, the stern-faced man added fuel to the fire, continuing, "If you feel it's inappropriate, why not join us? Of course, because you provided important information, how about giving you an extra ten percent when it comes to distributing the treasures and spirit liquid?"

The disheveled old man already knew the strength of Chen Xuan and Bai Li. Upon hearing this, various thoughts welled up in his mind.

"Hmph, I've lived a pathetic life in this Dead Sea City for decades, and I've finally stumbled upon a fat sheep. Let's do this job!"

Upon hearing this, the cold-faced man at the head and the group of rogue cultivators all revealed smug smiles.

"Therefore, let us make a vow to Heaven together." The old man looked at everyone and said, "Bound by the vow to Heaven, I will naturally tell you all the information I know."

In that hidden corner, as the binding force of the Heavenly Dao Oath descended, the old man finally lowered his guard against the crowd.

Soon, the group began to communicate with each other telepathically.

When they learned that the white-clad girl accompanying Chen Xuan was actually a demon beast at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the expressions of the rogue cultivators on the periphery all changed drastically.

Clearly, their reason for uniting to target Chen Xuan and his servant was their belief that their superior numbers gave them an absolute advantage against the two. However, upon learning this true information, the rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm on the outskirts hesitated.

After all, murder and robbery must be done cleanly and efficiently.

If the other side sees that they are in a hopeless situation, they will fight back desperately. Perhaps that great demon of the Myriad Manifestations Realm can really take down some of them in the process.

Seeing the group's hesitation, the old man sneered, "It seems you have the desire but not the courage. Such a sure thing, how could it possibly be your turn?"

The disheveled old man had completely forgotten Chen Xuan's kindness and was entirely attracted by the many exquisite wines that Chen Xuan had purchased.

Moreover, when Chen Xuan placed the order and paid for the source liquid, Bai Li forgot to say: "Master, this is most of our wealth."

"Hmph, if you people have any intention of quitting, then swear an oath to get out of here right now!" Seeing this, the three leading disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Realm turned extremely ugly.

"The three of us are enough to kill a powerful demon at the Myriad Manifestations Realm together, and you twenty-odd rogue cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm can't even take him down?"

Upon hearing this, the previously hesitant wandering cultivators suddenly realized what was happening, and they all smiled confidently again, bowing and scraping as they apologized.

"Yes, yes, with the three of you holding that Myriad Manifestations Realm demon back, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for us twenty-odd people to kill that mere early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?"

"Done!"

"Damn it, a horse won't get fat without night grass. If we pull off this job, we can live comfortably for a long time."

……

After reaching a consensus once again and finalizing the plan, everyone dispersed.

"Meet on the ferry early tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

shhhhh--

Watching all the "minor fry" leave, the three disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Realm sect who were in the lead exchanged glances and then smiled contemptuously.

"Once we successfully intercept them, we'll wipe out these small fry, and all the treasures and spirit liquids will be ours."

"Hmph, ordinary native rogue cultivators are like ants, yet they dare to think they can cooperate with our Sky-Piercing Sword Sect. They are truly ignorant of their own limitations."

"Let's go, senior brother, let's go to the inn to rest for a while. Tomorrow, if we don't make a move, we'll do it, but if we do, we'll definitely take down that master and servant."

……

A conspiracy to ambush has quietly unfolded like an impenetrable net.

However, Chen Xuan and his servant remained completely unaware of any danger.

"Master, according to that old man's information, there should be an inn ahead with the most reasonable price and the safest formation, the Dragon Gate Inn, which only costs ten spirit stones a night." Bai Li continued, piloting the flying boat, "According to the information I've gathered, the inn can also provide a lot of supplies."

Hearing Bai Li say this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly and said, "The spirit wine I bought for this Immortal's Drunkenness trip is for future use. When we get to the Dragon Gate Inn, I'll prepare more good wine for you."

"Hehe, thank you, Master."

The Dragon Gate Inn was not large in scale, but its decoration was quite exquisite. Although it could not compare to the luxuriousness of the Divine Immortal's Intoxication Inn, Chen Xuan felt the power of multiple arrays emanating from it as soon as he entered.

"There are actually six Yellow-rank formations and one Earth-rank formation. As expected of Dead Sea City, its profound foundation is truly astonishing."
