I conquered the cultivation world with scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

After the cooperation agreement was finalized, Yan Zhen paid the remaining 800 million yuan.

Yan Zhen buys spiritual food from Jiang He at twice the price set by the Star Network.

This collaboration with the black market was an unexpected bonus.

After carefully putting away the contract, Jiang He left through another exit of the black market.

After leaving, Jiang He changed her clothes at a roadside restroom before continuing on her way.

Jiang He only returned to the hotel by skyrail after the disguise pills wore off.

Pei Ci left the black market as usual. This time he obtained five magic staffs, which he could try to use spiritual energy directly. He just didn't know if his body could withstand it.

Pei Ci, recalling the spiritual food he had obtained by chance, silently followed the woman in front of him.

Two new types of spiritual food were added to the black market auction list, with the same names as the spiritual food he had recently bought from the merchant.

Thinking of how Yan Zhen had saved the woman in front of him today, Pei Ci couldn't help but feel more concerned.

He needs a lot of spiritual food to nourish the broken ends of his spiritual veins.

"We can't go back to Lingyun Sect for the time being," Pei Ci sighed. He followed behind Jiang He, his ordinary appearance allowing him to blend into the crowd easily.

As soon as Jiang He stepped off the skyrail, she sensed a gaze, a gaze different from the one she had felt when she was being chased last time.

But noticing the suspicious gazes, Jiang He remained tense.

The items she bought from the black market weren't expensive. Although Jiang He didn't think she would encounter anything like robbery, she was still a little cautious.

Jiang He did not head towards the hotel but instead quietly turned into an alley.

After she entered the alley, the presence of that gaze gradually became blurred.

Jiang He stopped in the alley, and at the same time, a hoarse voice came softly:

"Fellow Daoist Hong, please wait."

As soon as Jiang He turned around, she found a man dressed in black standing in front of her.

At the same time, Jiang He drew her sword and thrust it forward.

Jiang He's sword was very fast. Pei Ci took a few steps back before dodging the sword. Despite not having any spiritual roots, his speed was the same as it had been a few days ago.

This person had been following her for a long time and even knew her other identity, which made Jiang He secretly alarmed.

Before Pei Ci could say anything, a sharp gaze fell upon him, and another sword was already at his feet.

Compared to that day, the woman in front of him was clearly much more powerful.

Pei Ci took out his staff and held it in front of his body.

His fingers were long and slender, and when he gripped the staff, his pale knuckles gave him a sickly appearance.

Jiang He's sword had barely touched the staff when it was unable to advance even half a step further.

She looked at the staff and vaguely recognized it as one of the four staffs in the black market.

"Fellow Daoist Hong, perhaps there is a misunderstanding between us."

Pei Ci's black clothes were cut open by Jiang He's spirit sword as he dodged, and the cloak covering his face fell off, revealing a cascade of silver hair.

The bright moonlight intertwined with his silver hair, and the faint glow resembled stardust draped over Pei Ci.

Jiang He recognized the person in front of her in a moment of surprise.

Jiang He was all too familiar with the other person's silver hair and voice:

"It's you?"

Pei Ci's appearance today was completely different from that day at the Jiang family's stone tablet, but Jiang He remembered him when she saw his signature silver hair.

Jiang He immediately stopped, but when she asked another question, several unusually unsettling gazes focused between the two of them.

Immediately afterward, a missile struck, and Jiang He stared intently at the emerging figure.

Five minutes earlier, Liu Si was crouching in the corner watching his companion: "Liu Qi, who is this guy? Why is he fighting with Jiang He?"

Liu Qi shook his head, staring intently at Jiang He and Pei Ci, who were fighting.

Liu Si burned a talisman and continued to transmit his voice:

"To go or not to go?"

Liu Qi glanced at the two figures who had stopped and nodded slightly:

"superior."

Liu Si and Liu Qi were both capable assassins trained by Liu Quan, and they were ordered by Liu Quan to hunt down Jiang He.

Seeing his target enter the dark alley, Liu Qi was naturally pleased.

Liu Qi aimed for the right moment, pulled the trigger with his thumb, and a sharp bullet was fired from the magazine.

"dangerous."

Just as Pei Ci was about to make a move, a black figure blocked his view.

Liu Si and Liu Qi exchanged a glance and quickly determined their division of labor.

"I'll take care of this guy."

Liu Si suddenly jumped out from the shadows and quickly pulled out a short knife, holding it to Pei Ci's neck.

Jiang He looked at Pei Ci, who was being attacked, but was too busy to help herself.

A bullet came flying straight at them; the two men, who had been following them for who knows how long, had only just met them before they attacked them deadly.

Before Jiang He could even speak to Pei Ci, the bullet was already close to her eyeball.

Jiang He suddenly ducked, the bullet grazing past him before finally striking the wall.

And yet, the collision did not produce a sound.

There aren't many cultivators who dare to kill openly and honestly, and Jiang He originally intended to make some noise by having the bullets collide with the wall.

However, due to its special material, it makes no sound even when hit against a wall.

Liu Qi fired several bullets in quick succession.

This time, the bullet seemed to have eyes; no matter how Jiang He dodged, it always managed to return and attack.

Jiang He was unaware of the world's specific technology, but she was clearly being held back by the bullets.

Liu Qi smiled:

"I thought it was some kind of tough target, but it turns out it's nothing. I don't know how those guys died on the air track. It's shameful."

Liu Qi watched Jiang He desperately trying to avoid him and smiled sinisterly.

Pei Ci's situation was also not good, as Liu Si kept stabbing at Pei Ci with his short knife.

Pei Ci's spiritual veins were dug out, and he only has one chance to use the spiritual energy.

With the staff in front of him, he could only defend and not attack, which caused him to retreat step by step.

Liu Si and Liu Qi then launched a coordinated attack on Pei Ci and Jiang He, respectively.

As Jiang He watched the increasing number of bullets, she unleashed her spiritual energy.

The shield formed from earth elemental energy collided with the bullet.

At the same time, an earthen shield appeared beside Pei Ci, and Jiang He turned to look at Pei Ci:

"You can't hold them off for long, run!"

Jiang He's earthen shield blocked the bullets, which also slowed down Liu Si's attack on Pei Ci.

From Liu Qi's words, Jiang He could guess that the two were assassins sent by the Liu family. They were much stronger than Jiang He, and she alone could not possibly fight them.

We must at least be on the same side as Pei Ci.

Pei Ci was unaware that the assassins were after Jiang He. He recognized Liu Qi; he had seen him in that man's house before.

Pei Ci almost died at the Lingyun Sect. He looked at Liu Qi and suspected that this person was sent by that person to kill him.

Both of them believed that the other was there to kill them, so without much communication, Jiang He and Pei Ci naturally united on the same side.

Jiang He's earthen shield slowed down the enemy's advance for the two of them.

Having caught her breath, Jiang He immediately turned to leave.

Liu Qi gave Jiang He a disdainful smile as she watched her leave.

The gun in his hand suddenly transformed into a longsword.

The sword was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, it had already pierced Jiang He's calf!
