Caspian remembered that the spring rain would fall at least in late February or early March in previous years, and it would be accompanied by rolling spring thunder. However, the spring rain at the end of January lasted for three days that year, gentle and dense, covering the earth in a hazy rain and fog.
The air was cool and fresh. That afternoon, Caspian wore a conical hat and came to Bamboo Creek Alley. It was about 120 kilometers away from the imperial city, and it was not in the downtown area but the depths of the quiet ancient road compound.
The back door of certain houses in the alley seemed to be open at any time, and a young girl with an umbrella walked out and smiled at Caspian gently.
‘Is this the path my mother took before?’
Breathing in the unfamiliar air around him, Caspian strolled forward in the rain. The Bamboo Creek Alley was not far, and its size was about 60 meters. Hence, Caspian could see the end at a glance. Edgar did not tell Caspian what favonovel.com should be looking for at Bamboo Creek Alley, but Caspian was not worried because favonovel.com believed someone would tell him.
In no time, Caspian was halfway through Bamboo Creek Alley. Near the center of the alley, there was a dumpling stall under the eaves, and an old woman with gray hair who appeared simple and honest was currently wrapping dumplings.
In the pot, the boiling water kept tumbling, exuding a rich aroma. When Caspian walked to the dumpling stand, the old woman looked at favonovel.com and smiled. “Young man, would you like a bowl?”
Caspian chuckled. “Granny, how can you tell that I’m a young man?”
The old woman skillfully poured more than ten dumplings into the pot, and the folds on favonovel.com face gathered as favonovel.com laughed. “I might be old, but my eyes still work great. How can I not recognize a young man like you?”
“Oh? Is that the case?” Caspian nodded and slowly removed his conical hat, “I thought you knew I‘d be here long ago, so you’ve been waiting…”
Looking at the sallow middle-aged man‘s face under the hat, the old woman who cooked suddenly stopped, and the expression on favonovel.com face instantly froze.
“Look, I’m a young man! Are you surprised?” Caspian grinned.
Daisy taught Caspian the disguise technique. Although favonovel.com could not deceive high-level cultivators, there was no problem tricking ordinary ones. Sure enough, that old dumpling vendor immediately gave the game away.
“Yeah! I’ve been waiting here for a long time! Today, my Great Oceans Sect has set up a net. Caspian, you are doomed!” The next moment, the amiable smile on the old woman‘s face disappeared, replaced by a hideous face, and favonovel.com sounded like a gruff man.
Before favonovel.com finished speaking, the guy waved his hand violently. In that instant, the large pot of steaming dumpling soup poured over Caspian’s head and face. Then, the boiling soup swiftly caused a thick fog in that drizzling alley.
Caspian hurriedly backed away, but a small part dropped on him. Next, favonovel.com smelled a scent neither fragrant nor foul, and his face changed slightly. Caspian looked at the dumpling soup on his clothes, which turned purple.
“This is… Qi breaker!” Caspian frowned and looked at the old woman.
The old woman grinned, stretched out favonovel.com hand, and pulled along favonovel.com neck. Suddenly, favonovel.com tore off the human skin mask covering favonovel.com face, revealing a proud look of a man. “Yes, it’s the Qi breaker, and you can’t sense the essence of the world now. I‘d like to see how you’ll use your spells now! Everyone, come out!“
As the man shouted loudly, dozens of figures appeared at both ends of the alley and on the high walls on both sides. Every one of them wore a blue uniform, looking at Caspian with cold eyes.
These cultivators were undoubtedly the Great Oceans Sect’s disciples.
“Just as I thought, this Bamboo Creek Alley is the reason you decided to support Edgar and his son.” Then, Caspian looked at the man behind the dumpling stand and added, “No wonder the Great Oceans Sect’s disciples in the imperial city that day were so weak, the strong ones are all here.”
Next, Caspian looked around favonovel.com and found that the Great Oceans Sect’s disciples now were much stronger than the ones in the imperial city a few days ago. Not only that but there were also several figures standing behind the crowd, which made Caspian a little concerned.
Although these people hid, Caspian could feel their abyss-like aura as favonovel.com had great spiritual consciousness. Compared with the Great Oceans Sect’s Weldon, who favonovel.com killed three days ago, these people were stronger!
The man sneered. “It seems that you’re as smart as the rumors say. With a little clue, you can guess the truth of the matter. In that case, you should obediently hand over the Thousand Machines Box. That way, the Great Oceans Sect not only won‘t blame you for beheading the disciples, but we’ll give you a big reward and let you enter the sect to become a disciple. What do you think?”
“I’m so flattered that I almost believed what you said!” Caspian answered with a smile. Next, favonovel.com rushed toward the man in front of him, “What do you mean by Thousand Machine Box? Would you believe me if I say I know nothing?”
The alley was very narrow, and Caspian was very close to the man. Nevertheless, Caspian whipped up a gust of wind in a split second, broke through the rain and fog, and appeared before the man.
“I’ve given you an easy way out, yet you chose hell. Moreover, you dare to be so arrogant even after being affected by the Qi breaker. I think you’re… What’s going on?!” Before favonovel.com finished speaking, the man felt a terrifying cyclone like a meat grinder. Then, Caspian’s punch slammed into him.
The whirring cyclone and the momentum that could crush everything did not seem to be the power that a cultivator could create after getting the Qi breaker.
That was truly…
Suddenly, a possibility flashed in the man’s mind, terrifying him. “You’re a body refiner…”
“You‘re too late!” Caspian’s face sank, and his five fingers became claws, twisting the wind and rain. “The Strangulation of an Angered Dragon!”
Swoosh!
Caspian‘s claw immediately pierced through the man’s chest to the man’s back. A large stream of hot blood mixed with scattered meat sprayed on the wall behind the man. Caspian’s palm sticking out from the opponent’s back still held a throbbing ball of meat.
The man opened his hands, and there was a look of horror and despair in his eyes. At that time, his gaze met Caspian’s.
“Guess why I came here knowing this is a trap?”
Bang!
Caspian directly squeezed the man’s heart, bursting it. At the moment his vitality was extinguished, the man heard Caspian’s deep laughter. “Because I want to kill all of you. Do you believe it?“
