Chapter 846: Chapter 291: Introducing Silkworms [2 in 1] _2 Chapter 846: Chapter 291: Introducing Silkworms [2 in 1] _2 Jinmian took a deep breath and said, “From elder’s words, is it your intention to keep us here?”

He smiled faintly and said, “Although we are indeed not as cultivated as elder, we are still confident that if we want to leave…we can leave like elder. It won’t be easy for elder to keep us here.”

Peng Wanli’s eyes sparkled as he said, “I never intended to keep all of you, but it’s quite easy to leave just one or two of you behind.”

“Elder is joking.”

Jinmian said, “Now that there’s a chance for a peaceful resolution, why risk our lives? I think elder’s injuries must not have fully recovered. To merely exhaust one’s own spiritual power and lifespan due to stubborn pride is hardly a wise act.”

Peng Wanli snorted and said indifferently, “I have never been what one would call a wise person. I only know that a spoken word is like the wind, and regret comes too late. If there is no retribution, today you may rob me, and tomorrow others may follow suit. Then, where would I put my face?”

The leader among the Jinmian’s eyes blazed with fury.

But then he realized that the fury and fighting spirit in Peng Wanli’s eyes were not inferior to his own and even the indignation seemed to surpass his.

He instantly understood something.

That was… his own group’s current situation might be frustrating and painful, and they had even lost brothers, but Peng Wanli, this veteran fighter, was in no better a situation.

No, his situation and mindset were even worse than theirs!

After all, up until just now, it was their side that had the upper hand. They had been spouting elegant words incessantly. Now that the tide had turned, they wanted to leave without any consequences—as if such a thing were so easily done!

Firstly, they were inexplicably robbed, and now to be utterly ignored on top of that is a severe blow to Peng Wanli’s pride.

The greatest frustration for them was that they were misinformed, which led to the death of two of their brethren.

Despite the inevitable sorrow in everyone’s hearts, at the root of it all was that they died by the code, blameless towards others.

But Peng Wanli himself had truly been slapped in the face.

For someone of his strength, face, in most instances, was indeed more important than life itself.

Especially since those who had crossed him were weaker in strength—how could he not seek revenge?!

Putting oneself in another’s shoes, the leader among the Jinmian thought that Peng Wanli was already showing great restraint and decorum by not having acted yet!

After much deliberation, the leader of Jinmian still dared not push the fight to the death. He threw a Space Ring and said, “Ill-gotten wealth is difficult to accept, and since we cannot take ‘good’ wealth today, let us evil ones end it with ‘good’ wealth then. Let’s use this ‘good’ wealth to buy a way out from the elder!”

Peng Wanli snorted and caught it in his hand, saying indifferently, “Get lost!”

Dong Xiaoyan said with a laugh, “Elder, instead of being robbed, it seems like you’re the one who ended up robbing them! This situation is quite fascinating!”

The Jinmian people upon hearing this, all let out a cold snort in unison but then focused their gaze on Feng Yin, staring intently.

Without speaking openly, Feng Yin knew what that meant—it meant they had made an enemy.

To this, Feng Yin simply didn’t care.

If you come to rob me, you should be ready for the consequences.

Everything else is just empty talk.

Even if each of you is a powerhouse from Cloud Top, so what?!

The person who didn’t kill you, are they suddenly a friend?

Ridiculous!

“Boy, we will meet again,” the leading Jinmian tossed out a sentence and together the ten people rose into the air and vanished into the sky in an instant.

Then there was a violent disturbance in the sky, but in a blink of an eye, their traces were gone.

Cat Emperor sighed and said, “That use of spatial power is quite unique… but it looks different from ours, doesn’t it?”

Peng Wanli explained, “That’s a spatial secret door, unlike our method of tearing through space. The difference is like that between clouds and mud, totally distinct.”

“I see, I was wondering why it seemed so easy for them, I thought they had some special technique or trick,” said Cat Emperor, feeling relieved.

“Now that this matter is settled, let’s head back to Yuezhou,” said Peng Wanli.

“Alright!”

As they walked along their way, they couldn’t help but talk about the sudden event.

“This robbery came quite unexpectedly!”

Feng Yin frowned and said, “Who exactly are these people, and who sent them? After all the twists and turns, it all remains a mystery, with neither head nor tail to it.”

Peng Wanli said, “I have thought long and hard, but still have no clue. You must know how prestigious the Three Realms Trade Fair is. There has never been any trouble right after leaving it before, and while inside the trade fair, I was always cautious, never felt like we were being targeted. The moment we returned, we were immediately robbed… it really doesn’t make sense.”

Cat Emperor also couldn’t come up with an answer.

On the other hand, Dong Xiaoyan, in his clueless manner, asked, “Could it be that these people were sent by the Illusory Silkworm?”

Peng Wanli and Cat Emperor’s expressions instantly darkened.

It was evident that both had already considered this possibility, but due to the grave implications of such a claim, they had not stated it aloud.

Feng Yin said with a frown, “That’s what I thought at first, because other than the Illusory Silkworm, no one else has any reason to target us.”

Cat Emperor’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Why was it only at first? What about now?”
