And next, Ye Luo only did one thing, which was to record those who had conflicts!

Ye Luo not only noted their appearances but also tracked their affiliations! Including their clothing styles and habitual movements!

Because Ye Luo planned to use these people to create chaos and conflict!

Not strong enough?

Who says you can’t stir up trouble if you’re not strong enough?

This time, Ye Luo intended to design a scheme with his mind, a plot significant enough to trigger chaos among the four forces.

Because only by doing so could Ye Luo fish in troubled waters better!

Of course, Ye Luo also had certain standards when choosing people, at least, he must be able to overpower them!

...

Early the next day, Ye Luo left the house early; to be precise, he had found a random place in the central area to pass the night.

Ye Luo knew that the four major forces rotated disciples daily for patrol, and the patrol was not just around the Dark Town but also involved sending many disciples to further places.

This time Ye Luo aimed at a disciple sent out for patrol.

Because this person was the one selling that Soul-Nurturing Wood yesterday, and their business negotiations had fallen apart; the two had been quite hostile yesterday.

Ye Luo’s first target was him!

Ye Luo’s movements weren’t particularly fast; after all, the Xumi Zun wasn’t usable here, and Ye Luo’s cultivation was really quite low.

Fortunately, after entering this Dark Town, Ye Luo received a token; though the token wasn’t anything special in Dark Town, just that ordinary people couldn’t really get in.

But after entering, there wasn’t really any danger.

The speed of the person’s advancement wasn’t fast either, it was a three-person team, and their task was to patrol around the relics outside the sky.

Ye Luo merely followed slowly behind him, but at this moment Ye Luo wore the mask obtained from the market yesterday. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Although the mask lacked the support of formation, it no longer had its original concealment ability, Ye Luo didn’t care, as he was only using the mask for misdirection!

...

"Hey, brother in front, wait a moment!"

Ye Luo shouted loudly, enough for the trio to hear, because now was Ye Luo’s chance to strike!

The trio turned around in confusion, and upon seeing the mask, understood it was someone from Dark Town, but were unclear about Ye Luo’s intentions, so they maintained a certain level of vigilance.

"What are you doing?"

One of them stepped forward and asked Ye Luo!

Ye Luo smiled slightly, of course, his smile was invisible to them.

Yet he ignored the speaker and instead spoke to another person beside him: "I agree to the exchange you proposed, and this time, not just the seed but the fruit, a complete fruit; if you’re still interested in trading, let’s talk privately!"

Ye Luo’s voice was calm, and while speaking, he still maintained a vigilant stance.

Of course, the more he was like this, the less suspicion he caused!

Although Ye Luo didn’t finish speaking or clarify, mentioning the seed made the person naturally understand the matter!

Nine Aperture Fruit!

This guy was truly willing to use the Nine Aperture Fruit for an exchange?

The person was quite overjoyed at the thought, as the value of the Nine Aperture Fruit far surpassed that of the Soul-Nurturing Wood!

The person remained calm, saying to his companions: "I’ll go over there for a bit; he’s someone I’ve already arranged a transaction with, I’ll catch up with you later!"

Since the trio had a decent relationship usually, his companions naturally didn’t oppose the proposal, and since it was mentioned as a prearranged transaction, the two didn’t suspect anything and merely nodded before leaving!

From beginning to end, none of the trio checked Ye Luo’s cultivation.

Not that they feared Ye Luo, but because, within the orthodox sect, there was an unwritten rule or rather, a hidden rule!

That is, Divine Sense must not be used rashly to probe the other’s cultivation!

For the average Loose Cultivator, perhaps this isn’t a concern at all, but disciples of Great Sects generally abide by this rule.

After all, disciples of Great Sects have fewer troubles than Loose Cultivators, they could virtually be said to live in a greenhouse!

As for the reason, it’s simple; probing others’ cultivation with Divine Sense will inevitably be detected, leading to it being deemed as a provocation!

The person approached Ye Luo, but Ye Luo deliberately appeared highly vigilant, continuously glancing behind the person.

"Alright, stop looking, I have asked them to leave, no one’s going to target you, you said you’d exchange the Nine Aperture Flower and Nine Aperture Fruit for my Soul-Nurturing Wood, is it true?"

The person asked Ye Luo, having no suspicion of Ye Luo’s vigilance.

Ye Luo glanced at him, still not speaking, persistently maintaining his vigilance.

The person felt helpless, understanding Ye Luo’s intent, as if the three of them teamed up, perhaps this transaction would turn into a robbery.

However, he never had such intentions, so there wasn’t any anger at this moment, instead, he was waiting silently.

Because he believed that once Ye Luo felt safe, the transaction could proceed.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know that Ye Luo indeed awaited the sense of safety, but not for a transaction!

Ye Luo simply wasn’t confident to deal with all three, thus needed confirmation that the other two had left!

After a moment, Ye Luo thoroughly checked the surroundings, discovering no danger, finally spoke to the person: "The Nine Aperture Flower is impossible; I think you should understand the value of the Nine Aperture Fruit, so how about it, exchanging the Nine Aperture Fruit for Soul-Nurturing Wood, yes or no?"

Ye Luo naturally possessed no Nine Aperture Fruit, he spoke thus only to lower the opponent’s guard!

Indeed, upon hearing this, the person merely frowned slightly, as he clearly understood that the value of the Nine Aperture Fruit already surpassed the Soul-Nurturing Wood, if Ye Luo had truly said to exchange with both the Nine Aperture Flower and Fruit, that would have been more suspicious!

"Alright, deal! Tell me, how’s the exchange going!"

Ye Luo smiled mildly, having awaited precisely that statement!

"Alright then, we each produce our items, then verify their authenticity before exchanging, what do you think?"

The person nodded, finding Ye Luo’s proposal reasonable.

"Alright, let’s do it this way!"

Speaking thus, the person waved casually, and a piece of black wood appeared instantly in his hand.

Simultaneously looked towards Ye Luo.

At this moment, the person had no defenses whatsoever, in his eyes, Ye Luo was merely here for an exchange, hence never considered the presence of danger, not even basic Spirit Power Shield was activated!

Yet, when Ye Luo waved, instead of a fruit, there was a gun in his hand!

Of course, in the eyes of the person, it was merely a bit odd, unsure of what that thing was.
