"How much for these?" Little Mudan cut to the chase.

Master Yi shook his head, "The master dislikes these items; we cannot accept them. If we did, it would affect Qiansui, which is absolutely forbidden."

"I don’t care about your Qiansui or whatever, can’t accept them? Have I been busy for nothing?!"

Little Mudan’s brows furrowed. She knew her own circumstances well. If these thirty-some items were all unsatisfactory, the remaining group, barely able to afford their food, would unlikely have anything better.

What on earth did this group of damn bastards want?

Their demands were too high?

Was this deal going to result in a loss?

Impossible!

She slammed a knife down on the table, her face losing any charm, sneering as she said, "Master Yi, you really have a way with jokes. You say the quality isn’t up to par and that’s that? Fine, don’t take the goods, but since you sought me out, whether you take the merchandise or not, you still have to pay!"

Cha Jinqu burst into laughter, "Little Mudan, have you lost your mind, playing dirty with Cao Gang?"

Little Mudan hooked the corner of her mouth, "So what if I am? What’s so grand about Cao Gang? Not every one of you is a Human List Expert! I’d like to see what you’re capable of!"

As her words fell, those with swords drew swords, those with guns grabbed guns, and a standoff ensued instantly.

The atmosphere turned tense in an instant, and internal strife seemed imminent.

The Believers from the Heroic Society wanted to retreat, but were blocked by the two factions, unable to advance or retreat.

Master Yi looked up and saw that the "Mystic Green Eye" was shaking more and more violently, almost bursting. He couldn’t help but cry out in fear, "Do not desecrate the Divine! Stop, do not desecrate the Divine!"

Just then.

Everyone heard a man’s voice.

"Alright, stop fighting, it’s time to go."

Who?

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw a sunny, handsome young man climb in through the window, his face full of irrepressible amusement and a mask that barely covered his mouth and nose.

No, what mask? It was merely a face mask.

Naturally, it was Xu Shu.

Such a simplistic "mask" could fool ordinary people but couldn’t escape the discerning eyes of a Transcendent.

Little Mudan recognized Xu Shu immediately and licked her lips, saying, "Little brother, so it’s you. Didn’t you promise your sister not to run around at night? You showing up like this makes things difficult for me."

"Difficult? Then let’s not bother at all." Xu Shu chuckled.

He made a cross over those thirty-something hostages and clasped his hands in prayer, "Don’t blame me, blame your bad luck. My capabilities are limited; I can only save a few."

His words were filled with sorrow, as if he were mourning them.

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, everyone sensed something ominous.

Especially Cha Jinqu, who suddenly produced an axe in his hands, and his body inflated like being pumped with air, transforming into a nearly three-meter-tall giant, bursting with momentum.

Boom!

He swung his axe forward, and the air instantly emitted a tearing boom, leaving a visible trail of airwaves along the stroke!

"Ha?!?"

Xu Shu quickly leaned back, his expression slightly shocked.

Really? This strong?

Now the opponent had revealed his full strength, and Xu Shu found it familiar, immediately realizing.

This guy was indubitably a Transcendent on the same path as him and judging from the displayed momentum, was ranked higher than him.

This was a Third-rank Warrior, "Dragon Elephant"!

The third rank of Warrior, as the name implied, embodied the strength of a dragon and an elephant, capable of moving mountains and splitting valleys with each movement.

If this strike had hit, Xu Shu assessed, with his current capabilities, it would most likely be dire; "Jingwei Filling the Sea" could only defend so much.

However, facing such a powerful attack, Xu Shu didn’t move his feet nor did he activate "Jingwei Filling the Sea."

He went ahead to help an elderly grandmother who was tightly bound nearby, not even glancing properly at Cha Jinqu.

Thump!

Like the beating of a heart, Cha Jinqu’s attack abruptly stopped.

As he rushed to the edge of the altar, his body suddenly got bound, strands of golden threads pulling him toward the center.

Xu Shu coldly smiled, having anticipated this.

Because the ’Mystic Green Eye’ in the sky had already been completely replaced by his Yin God Altar.

Would Xu Shu show up unprepared?

Of course not.

At this moment, what appeared before everyone was the sacrificial range of an Epic Altar.

Their enemy was not Xu Shu, but Lie Zhenzi, who had received the sacrificial signal and began absorbing the offerings!

"The altar, activate!" Xu Shu laughed inwardly.

As if responding to Xu Shu’s call, the threads drilled into Cha Jinqu’s body, swelling rapidly and began sucking vigorously.

Whoosh! Cha Jinqu’s robust and fearsome body, like milk rapidly drained, turned into a dry piece of human skin and died on the spot.

Simultaneously, a large number of golden threads, within the range of the altar, plundered everywhere, sucking life from anyone they encountered!

"Ah!"

"Damn it, what’s happening?"

"No, what’s going on!"

"It’s a sacrifice! This is a sacrifice! You’ve angered the master, this is the master’s punishment, pray with me, pray for the master’s forgive..."

"Ah, what are you doing? Great master, I am your loyal servant, you can’t do this, you freaking can’t aaaahhh~~"

The screams were endless. Nearby, Little Mudan shrieked, wiping her mouth with her finger, then smearing it on two of her subordinates.

The bellies of two robust men suddenly swelled, resembling pregnant women in their tenth month, carrying triplets!
