After gently swallowing the slightly sticky wine that had a faint fragrance of plants, Tang Zhen’s gaze landed on the young man.
It was a small world. Tang Zhen did not expect to meet this person here. He was a little surprised in his heart.
It was a human youth with a cold face. There was a hint of arrogance between his brows, but his eyes were very calm.
He seemed to have traveled a long way, so there was a layer of fine dust on his body. The hand-made boots on his feet had obvious wear and tear.
Through the grey cloak, one could see that he was wearing a set of inconspicuous leather armor with some strange patterns on it. It seemed to be some kind of rare fierce beast.
A belt as wide as a palm had a few throwing knives inserted into it. Although the material was unknown, they gave off a faint sense of sharpness.
In the young man’s left hand, he held a long and thin sword. The hilt of the sword seemed to be severely worn, revealing a faint purple luster.
Although he did not see the body of the sword, Tang Zhen had a feeling that this was definitely a treasure sword that could cut through iron as though it was mud!
After the young man entered the pub, he swept his gaze around before stopping at Tang Zhen’s seat. He then walked over with large strides.
In the entire Tavern, only Tang Zhen’s table had an empty space. That young man had also walked over because of this.
An obscure smile surfaced on the corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth. He seemed to have recalled something. At the same time, he lowered his head and picked up another piece of meat, placing it in his mouth and chewing.
That young man came to the side of the table. After sizing up Tang Zhen, he pulled out a stool and sat down.
The waiter in charge of serving wine and food in the tavern came over. After asking a few questions, he turned around with a smile and went to the back room to get food.
At this moment, the two of them were seated facing each other. That young man did not seem to care too much about Tang Zhen. He merely picked up the longsword in his hand and placed it on the side of the table where he could easily touch it. He had a pensive expression on his face.
Tang Zhen also ignored this young man. He merely savored his own food. From time to time, he would even drink a mouthful of wine with a unique flavor.
When the waiter brought the food and wine, the young man suddenly asked the waiter who had long ears and unusually agile hands and feet, ” “I’m looking for someone to lead me across the battlefield. Do you have any suitable candidates?
Remember, I only want reliable ones!”
As the young man spoke, he took out a brain and threw it into the waiter’s hand.
This was a level three brain bead. To the tavern’s staff, it was already a considerable reward.
The waiter chuckled and put the brain into his pocket. He said to the young man, ” “You’ve asked the right person, otherwise you would have been deceived!
In the entire Wanderer market, the old woman’s group had the best reputation among the cultivators who often brought people to cross the dangerous mountain ranges. Unfortunately, they had just set off a month ago and had not returned yet!
If you’re not in a hurry, he’ll definitely be back in three to five months at most!”
“I can’t wait that long. Are there any other candidates?” the young man shook his head.
The waiter smiled, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the corner of the tavern. He continued, ” “In addition to the old woman, there are also a few teams made up of wild cultivators who often take people across the mountain range, but the fees are higher. When they encounter danger, they are not responsible for the safety of the customers!
As for the other teams, hehe, let’s not talk about them!”
After saying this, the shop assistant whispered a few words in the young man’s ear. Apparently, he told the young man the information of the cultivator teams with good reputations.
Although Tang Zhen appeared to be unconcerned, he had already heard every single word of the worker’s voice in case he needed it.
The young man nodded, indicating that the waiter could leave. Then, he buried his head and began to eat.
The cultivators at the table next to them also stopped paying attention and continued to eat and chat.
The owner of the tavern glanced at the waiter with a complicated expression, but he quickly lowered his head.
On the contrary, in the corner of the tavern, a few foreign cultivators ‘eyes turned and swept over the heavy bag of the young man a few times. When they lowered their heads, their eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
The young man ate very quickly and finished his meal in a short time. Then, he picked up his long sword and left the tavern.
As soon as the young man left, a few foreign cultivators in the corner quickly got up and followed him.
When the other cultivators in the tavern saw this scene, they all shook their heads slightly. Some of them even cursed in a low voice.
They had spent a long time eating and drinking, so they naturally knew what the foreign cultivators wanted.
There was no doubt that the young man was going to be out of luck!
In fact, this kind of thing was quite common in this place. Many cultivators who had just arrived were targeted by these foreign cultivators. The lucky ones were robbed clean, while the unlucky ones directly lost their lives.
Regarding this kind of thing, the manager of the market turned a blind eye. After all, these things were more or less related to them, and even more than half of the stolen money had entered their pockets!
After Tang Zhen finished the wine in his cup, he threw down a head. With a smile that was not a smile, he glanced at the waiter who walked over and also walked out of the pub.
Tang Zhen extended his hand to block the dazzling sunlight. He narrowed his eyes and walked toward a remote and dilapidated alley not far away.
As soon as he got close to the alley, he saw two strong foreign cultivators blocking the entrance of the alley. They were looking at him with unfriendly eyes and a hint of threat.
These two were the foreign cultivators he had seen in the tavern earlier. The other two had already disappeared, probably to intercept the young man!
“Get lost to the side. You’re not allowed to leave this place, otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!”
A foreign cultivator’s eyes revealed an ominous glint as he roared at Tang Zhen in a low voice. Even though he sensed the Lord’s aura that Tang Zhen had deliberately revealed, he did not have any fear.
Their cultivation was only at level four. To be able to be so arrogant, they must have something to rely on!
After all, there were countless strong people in the market of this dangerous mountain range, and it was not rare to see feudal lord cultivators. If they dared to do such a shady business, the other party’s organization must have many feudal lord cultivators, and there was definitely more than one!
It was also because of this that they were not afraid of Tang Zhen, who had revealed the aura of a Lord.
A powerful Dragon could not suppress a local snake. This was their territory. Under normal circumstances, the cultivators from other territories would not dare to provoke them easily!
However, Tang Zhen was not an ordinary cultivator. He was a killing God that they could not afford to offend!
Tang Zhen sneered and waved his hand at the two foreign cultivators. Then, their strong bodies floated into the air.
“Damn it, what’s going on?”
The two foreign cultivators cried out in alarm. Just as they were about to resist, they found that their entire bodies were shackled by an invisible force. They couldn’t move their hands or speak.
Under the horrified gaze of the two foreign cultivators, they saw Tang Zhen’s palm gently clench. The two foreign cultivators completely lost control of their bodies and bizarrely folded back together.
“Crack!” A crisp sound was heard. The two foreign cultivators floating in the air didn’t even have time to scream before their backbones were broken. Then, their bodies slowly fell to the ground.
In the corner of the alley, a dirty Wanderer happened to see this scene, and his mouth was wide open in shock.
When the Wanderer noticed that Tang Zhen was looking at him, he was like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. He turned his head and walked into the distance without the slightest hesitation, pretending that he didn’t see anything.
Tang Zhen turned his head around. His gaze landed on the depths of the small alley and coincidentally saw the young man who was walking out with a longsword in his hand.
