Chapter 110's mechanics are kicking in.
Jiujiu Pawnshop is an important stronghold of the Nine Schools in the secular world, responsible for providing financial chains and laundering money.
Especially in Liangcheng, a pawnshop located near an upscale residential area carries immense prestige. Meanwhile, Jiujiu Pawnshop also handles transactions for secular, independent cultivators, thus catering to the needs of the Nine Streams Sect.
The scoundrel is here today to collect money and resources, intending to plunder a fortune so that when the local powers find out, he won't have another chance to take anything.
Ideal is plump, reality is skinny.
When Sun Daoren arrived, he found the place sealed off by secular constables, and people from the Special Operations Department were sitting in the hall chatting idly, including one who was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
He frowned slightly, made a hand seal, and slipped into the pawnshop, where he found the boss who was being held captive in his office.
"What's going on? Why are there constables and officers outside?"
"Bailai" refers to members of secular official violent institutions.
Official cultivators refer to cultivators who seek refuge with the government to obtain cultivation resources.
The old man, Boss Jiu, paced back and forth in a worried mood. Hearing the words, he was startled and turned to see the scoundrel. He hurriedly cried out, "Ancestor, you've finally arrived! I don't know what's going on, but this group of people has sealed off this place. Usually it's just the police, but this time it's the Special Operations Division and the Special Repair Division working together. I asked them for documents, but they didn't have a single one! Ancestor, what should we do?"
This clearly indicates something is wrong, or even that someone is deliberately setting a trap for the pawnshop. But Boss Jiu dared not speak out, for the official in charge has two mouths and can say whatever he wants; he couldn't win against them.
The scoundrel said, "I'm not here to listen to your complaints. Can this be resolved?"
The boss wiped his sweat: "Ancestor, I've already called the higher-ups. They don't have any official documents. At most, they can keep us locked up for a while longer, but we can't do anything else."
The Taoist instinctively sensed something was wrong. He picked up the jade pendant and asked in the group chat. Only after learning that everyone else was fine did he feel a little relieved: "The economy is bad right now. They're probably just here to rip us off. Just give them some money to cover it up."
The owner of the acupuncture shop looked bitter: "We've dealt with them. These bastards just take the money and don't do anything! They've locked us up and won't let us leave. I don't know what they mean by that."
Seeing the situation, and realizing he couldn't take anything for the time being, the scoundrel sat down and said, "Go and deal with it. Report any trouble to me, and I'll handle it accordingly."
The boss bowed and scraped, "Thank you, sir... I've done everything I could. They can only keep me under house arrest until seven o'clock at most, and it's almost six now."
The scoundrel sat on the sofa and said, "Hmm."
With a cautious mindset, the Taoist decided to use his divine sense to scan the area and see if there were any other ambushes.
Radiating one's divine thoughts outward.
The scoundrel saw Zhou Zheng leading the group towards them.
"bass!".
The scoundrel hurriedly stood up, his face changing drastically: "Holy crap!"
Where did this ancestor come from?!
The Taoist priest instinctively tried to run, but a faint bolt of lightning struck his neck, sending a tingling sensation through his body, causing him to sit back down on the sofa.
Boss Jiu: "Hmm? Ancestor, what's wrong?"
The Taoist priest felt a faint stinging sensation between his eyebrows and his face turned bitter: "It's nothing. Eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want."
Seeing Zhou Zheng makes me want to run away, but it's unlikely that I can successfully run away just because I see Zhou Zheng.
Boss Jiu: "Hmm?"
What do you mean, ancestor? I don't have cancer either.
……
As soon as Zhou Zheng arrived at the entrance of Jiu Jiu Pawnshop, he saw Chu Chen and Chu Liang.
Chu Chen bent slightly, took quick small steps, and made a cupped-hands gesture with his hands. He was already in a welcoming posture about twenty meters away, and with a humble smile, he jogged over with Chu Liang.
Zhou Zheng was stunned: "This requires at least twenty years of skill." Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to walk with such a humble, enthusiastic, and dignified gait.
Chu Chen naturally heard this, but his expression became even more enthusiastic: "This isn't the power of twenty years of cultivation, it's the uncontrollable joy of seeing you in person! My legs practically ran to you on their own!"
Zhou Zheng leaned back strategically, raising both palms: "You've been possessed, you idiot?"
Chu Chen (Foundation Establishment Realm)
【Chu Liang (Qi Refining Realm)】
Damn, you two haven't been possessed! What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly licking so intensely?!
Chu Chen hurriedly said, "No, no, my junior and I only learned yesterday that you won the secret realm competition and revealed your true form. We just didn't dare to disturb your enjoyment. Today, I'm truly happy to learn that you need our help. Although you asked Miss Tang to call the Special Operations Department to assist you, I was presumptuous to come without your permission, hoping to do more for you and show my appreciation."
Before the competition: Master Zhou has a bright future and a powerful background. We should flatter him a bit, after all, he is a genius of the Thunder Department.
After finding out about the competition: Holy crap! Those thighs are huge! I want to hug and lick them!
This isn't just a genius from the Thunder Department, this is clearly a Holy Son of the Thunder Department! This is a reincarnation of a god! This is an immortal being whom one could never hope to be worthy of even in ten lifetimes! To even meet him is already an opportunity that is extremely rare in this lifetime!
Five Heavenly Spiritual Roots with attributes that can be changed at will!
Zhou Zheng: "...I still prefer your old, unruly self."
Chu Chen coughed lightly, covering his mouth, and stood up straight: "Master Zhou, you are joking. We have sealed off this place as you instructed. This Jiu Jiu Pawnshop is indeed well-known; it is not only a trading place for rogue cultivators, but its owner is also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, he is unaware that we have discovered his cultivation level."
Zhou Zheng thought for a moment, then released his senses and looked at Jiu Jiu Pawnshop.
【Jiu Liang (Foundation Building Realm)】
【damage……】
A strange sensation disturbed him, and Zhou Zheng subconsciously ignored the second term.
Thunder King activated with a start.
Zhou Zheng: "Hmm?"
Liu Zhen looked over with a half-smile: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Zheng sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. He had a feeling that he was standing right in front of the pawnshop, yet he couldn't see the place clearly.
Super Intelligence Activated!
After a moment's thought, I arrived at the answer.
Zhou Zheng closed his eyes.
Two health bars appeared in the pawnshop's office: one for Jiu Liang and the other for Sun Daoren.
When I opened my eyes, all I could see was the bright red health bar. As for the other health bar, I could only vaguely perceive the word "damage" before subconsciously ignoring it.
Zhou Zheng asked curiously, "What kind of ability is this that can interfere with my senses?"
Liu Zhen laughed, "One can possess divine sense at the Foundation Establishment stage. Divine sense can not only fully introspect oneself, but also interfere with the perception of others. Upon reaching the Golden Core stage, this ability is further enhanced, allowing one to resonate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash supernatural powers. For someone at the Golden Core stage, interfering with your perception is as easy as drinking water. Look at Chu Chen, he didn't see anything at all."
"But you've got some skills, kid. Not only did you get rid of the interference, but you also accurately pinpointed the location of the scoundrel."
Chu Chen's face paled: "There's a Golden Core cultivator in the pawnshop?"
At first glance, I thought, how could this be possible? Golden Core cultivators aren't exactly common. But upon closer inspection, it wasn't impossible. With Master Zhou here, it's quite normal for a Golden Core cultivator to suddenly appear.
Chu Liang's legs trembled slightly: "Ancestor, didn't you guarantee that this time would be a sure thing?" How did you bring me to the face of a Golden Core Realm enemy? Ancestor, what kind of strength do you have!
Zhou Zheng: "Oh, when I open my eyes, he can interfere with my perception. When I close my eyes, I enter a state of self-sufficiency, and external interference with me decreases significantly."
The mechanism of the Tianqin Five Elements Source Body has come into play.
External evils cannot invade, and external demons cannot enter.
I'm currently at the half-step Foundation Establishment stage. If I close my eyes, the interference from the Golden Core stage can go to hell.
