Am I not a nascent saint demon cultivator?

"Someone's got their eyes on me, but given the wealth and resources I've openly displayed, I shouldn't be someone who would covet me, right?"

Xu Yun felt something was off. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he was very cautious and even used an invisible mask to create several aliases to prevent being targeted by others.

But now, he is buying resources with his original appearance, and the wealth and background he displays are perfectly normal. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be targeted by others at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Yun quietly turned his head and glanced at a man as if by accident.

The man, dressed in a blue jade robe, blended into the crowd and was quite inconspicuous. However, Xu Yun sensed that this man had left a mental imprint on him, locking onto his location.

"Wait, what's being targeted might not be my wealth, but rather the shipment of goods that Wen Xinlan and the others are escorting back to Mofeng City."

Xu Yun's heart stirred, as if he had thought of something, and he suddenly realized.

His previous aliases went undetected, but when he used his original identity to purchase resources, he was marked with a mental imprint by others, which must be related to something.

After much thought, Xu Yun concluded that perhaps it was because he was escorting a shipment of goods back to Mofeng City that some people had the idea to leave a mental mark on him so that they could rob the goods at any time.

"Moreover, the aura of this spiritual imprint is somewhat unique; it may not be the work of a Tribulation cultivator, but more likely the work of a demonic cultivator."

Xu Yun's thoughts raced like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he realized many things, which brought him excitement and exhilaration.

Because of the requirements of the initial saint's mission, he also needed to plunder Wen Xinlan's batch of goods, but he had been thinking about a suitable method.

Xu Yun was originally troubled by this, but when he realized that a demonic cultivator might be eyeing Wen Xinlan's shipment, he suddenly understood and became very excited.

"When these demonic cultivators make their move, I can secretly summon my banner spirits to infiltrate them, reap the benefits, and use them as a pawn to kill and steal the goods that Wen Xinlan and the others are escorting!"

Xu Yun murmured to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a great opportunity. In this way, he could conceal his identity, pin all the blame on the demonic cultivators, and steal the goods that Wen Xinlan and the others were escorting.

This would also preserve the Oncidium orchids and prevent the loss of a resource acquisition channel.

After all, in Xu Yun's perception, the spiritual imprint that struck him was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Putting aside everything else, Xu Yun himself was a cultivator at the seventh level of Qi Refining, only he concealed it with an invisible mask.

Moreover, he has some banner spirits at the late stage of Qi Refining under his command, as well as the remnant soul of Foundation Establishment Daoist Tianlin, making his combat power extremely abundant.

Even if the demonic cultivators eyeing that shipment were not simple, and even a Foundation Establishment cultivator was involved, Xu Yun still had a considerable chance of escaping alive. He had plenty of opportunities to try and fail, and thinking this made him even more motivated.

.......

Meanwhile, after Xu Yun had finalized all the plans, the man in the blue jade robe blended into the crowd and quietly slipped into a small alley.

He then wandered through several streets, almost circling half of Tiantuo City, before finally arriving at a rather remote place.

Looking up, he saw a mansion standing in front of him. He stepped forward and knocked on the gate a few times according to a certain pattern. Then he heard a buzzing sound, and as the restrictions on it surged, the gate quietly opened a crack. He immediately slipped inside.

The next moment, the man in the blue jade robe stepped over the threshold, passed through the corridor, and arrived at a courtyard, where several figures were already waiting.

The middle-aged man at the head of the group stood with his hands behind his back, his appearance dignified and imposing, exuding the air of someone who had long held a high position. Upon seeing the newcomer, he immediately said in a deep voice, "How is it, Chu Yuehe? Has the matter been settled?"

"It's all done, everyone."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuehe, dressed in a blue jade robe, immediately bowed respectfully and said, "I have already imprinted a mental mark on one person in the escort team of the Muyun Chamber of Commerce. Now their whereabouts are all under my control."

Upon hearing this, Guangxian nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face. "Very good. However, just in case, we still need to take more measures to avoid losing track of the target. Remember, this is a major matter concerning our Azure Water Alliance, and we must not be negligent."

The Azure Water Alliance is a force within the Yuan Kingdom, which has always made a living by selling cultivation resources, and is undoubtedly a rival of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild.

The two forces have been in conflict for a long time in terms of trade, selling cultivation resources, and even vying for resources and territory. However, out of consideration for the reputation of the righteous path, they have never made things too ugly.

However, now that the war between Yuan Tianzong and Tianming Palace has ended, Muyun Chamber of Commerce has gained considerable benefits and its foundation has been strengthened.

On the contrary, the Azure Water Alliance was affected because some of their shops and resource points were quite close to the battlefield between the Yuan Tian Sect and the Tian Ming Palace, and thus suffered considerable losses.

Under these circumstances, the strength and foundation of their Azure Water Alliance have diminished considerably, and in some aspects they are no match for the Twilight Cloud Chamber of Commerce, gradually leading to a decline.

Therefore, in order to salvage the situation, the leaders of the Azure Water Alliance decided to strike at the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, causing them to lose some of their resources, thus buying them time to recuperate and prevent the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild from completely surpassing their Azure Water Alliance.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the Azure Water Alliance inadvertently learned that the Muyun Chamber of Commerce branch in Tiantuo City intended to escort a Foundation Establishment spiritual item to Mofeng City for a transaction.

You must know how rare Foundation Establishment spiritual items are.

Its value is second only to the Foundation Establishment Pill, and it can help cultivators break through bottlenecks and increase the probability of Foundation Establishment.

Although its effects are not as good as the Foundation Establishment Pill, it is still a precious opportunity for Foundation Establishment, which countless cultivators yearn for. They are even willing to fight to the death for that small chance of breaking through to Foundation Establishment, causing a bloodbath.

If we could seize this Foundation Establishment spiritual item and disrupt the transaction, it would certainly damage the reputation of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild.

Therefore, the higher-ups of the Azure Water Alliance specially dispatched these people to plunder, and even provided them with a secret method to disguise themselves as demonic cultivators, ensuring that when the time came to take action, nothing would involve the Azure Water Alliance.

After all, if others were to find out that the Azure Water Alliance, a righteous force, had actually plundered the goods of the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild, it would inevitably cause a huge damage to their reputation.

At that time, let alone buying time to recuperate, the Azure Water Alliance will probably have to give up a lot of painful benefits in order to salvage its reputation.

Thinking this, Guang Xian slowly scanned the crowd and said in a deep voice, "This operation concerns the future of our Azure Water Alliance, so success is the only option; failure is not an option. The Azure Water Alliance will definitely reward you all handsomely. Do you understand?"

"Yes, everyone! We will do our utmost to ensure that the leaders of the Azure Water Alliance are not disappointed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately bowed respectfully, their fighting spirit soaring, determined to seize the goods from the Muyun Merchant Guild.

After all, besides their loyalty to the Azure Water Alliance, the rewards were something they couldn't refuse, so even though they knew the operation was very risky, not one of them refused.

Moreover, this time they are in the dark, while the Muyun Chamber of Commerce is in the open, and they have many late-stage Qi Refining experts who are skilled in combat. Under these circumstances, how could they possibly lose?
