"Boss, I should disguise myself a bit, it's quite scary."
At the entrance of the Longevity Tavern, Feng Chen twisted and turned, hesitant to go out.
Inside the tavern, he could already feel the intense malice from those people. Outside, even though it was already dark, he could still see many figures on the street glaring at him. Walking out like this, even with the boss by his side, would be very dangerous. As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. No matter how strong the boss is, he can't be a Saint Realm expert, right?
Flame City only has one expert above the Saint Realm, the city lord. There's no news of any other Saint Realm experts.
What if a Carefree Realm expert makes a move? If the boss is unable to help, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others?
Little did he know, the city lord he knew had already died at Gu Changsheng's hands.
"Come, stand here," Gu Changsheng beckoned Feng Chen to stand before the threshold.
Feng Chen came to the threshold, puzzled. Just as he was about to ask a question, he felt a pain in his butt, and then his whole body turned into a stream of light and flew out.
"Ah..."
In the dark night sky, Feng Chen's scream was exceptionally loud.
"So fussy, just like her!"
Gu Changsheng said indifferently, then said to the people in the tavern, "We're closing early today, you can leave."
The crowd came back to their senses from their shock. After hearing Gu Changsheng's words, they quickly paid their tab and hurriedly left the tavern, heading in the direction Feng Chen had flown.
Soon, only Wu Liang the Taoist remained in the tavern.
"Aren't you leaving?" Gu Changsheng glanced at Wu Liang indifferently.
Wu Liang shuddered, feeling as if he had been seen through, but he quickly dismissed the thought. Even he wasn't clear about his own origins, how could Gu Changsheng know?
Wu Liang the Taoist chuckled and said, "Boss, I won't attack the little benefactor. Please be merciful later!"
Gu Changsheng didn't speak but looked towards the door, his meaning clear.
Seeing this, Wu Liang the Taoist bowed to Gu Changsheng and left, also turning into a stream of light and heading in the direction Feng Chen had flown.
"Bang!"
The tavern door closed automatically, and Gu Changsheng had already disappeared.
West of Flame City, there was a flat forest. Couples in the city who liked excitement would come here for secret dates at night. At this moment, a pair of lovebirds were whispering sweet nothings. Just as the man was about to get handsy, an accident occurred.
"Boom!"
A deep pit suddenly appeared in front of them. Both of them screamed in fright and, without daring to see what it was, hurriedly fled back to the city.
"Pui, pui, pui!"
Feng Chen jumped out of the pit, constantly spitting out mud. Just now, he had eaten a lot of dirt.
Feng Chen also noticed the pair of lovebirds fleeing in panic. His cultivation was enough to ignore the darkness. When he saw the woman's white thighs, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
"So white and long!"
"Kid, if you want to live, quickly hand over the treasure map of the True Dragon Treasure."
At this moment, a fierce voice rang out, followed by the appearance of a figure. It was a man, and the aura emanating from him made Feng Chen's heart tremble.
Saint Realm cultivator.
This was a Saint Realm cultivator, two major realms higher than him. He was no match and definitely couldn't escape.
"Don't come over here! I'm the only employee of the Longevity Tavern. If you attack me, my boss won't let you off," Feng Chen said, pretending to be calm.
As a result, the man laughed and said, "Kid, you're too naive. Now everyone in Flame City knows that you possess the treasure map. Do you know how many people there are in Flame City? Do you know how many old monsters above the Carefree Realm there are in Flame City? Don't you understand? The owner of the Longevity Tavern sent you here to show everyone that you have nothing to do with him. Simply put, the owner of the Longevity Tavern can't protect you."
Feng Chen's expression changed upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his composure. He said, "I believe in my boss!"
"Haha, you believe? What a joke! As far as I know, you haven't even been an employee of the Longevity Tavern for a day. Why do you believe in your boss? Hahaha..."
The man laughed loudly, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
After laughing, the man looked at Feng Chen coldly and said, "I'll give you one last chance. Hand over the treasure map, and I'll spare your life."
Feng Chen smiled upon hearing this. He laughed and said, "The treasure map has already been refined by me. It's in my body. If you have the guts, then attack me. If you have the guts, you wouldn't be talking so much nonsense with me. In the end, you're still afraid of my boss, you coward!"
At the end, Feng Chen sarcastically gave him the middle finger.
The man's expression changed, his eyes filled with anger, and the aura on his body became even more explosive, but he didn't attack Feng Chen.
Because Feng Chen was right, he was indeed afraid of Gu Changsheng, which was why he didn't attack Feng Chen immediately. Otherwise, he would have slapped Feng Chen to death and taken the treasure map himself.
But now, if he didn't act sooner, when others who wanted to snatch the treasure map arrived, it would be even more troublesome. After thinking it over, the man finally made up his mind.
He said to Feng Chen sternly, "Kid, since you're looking for death, then don't blame me!"
After saying that, he slapped out with one hand, grabbing towards Feng Chen. The powerful aura suppressed Feng Chen, and Feng Chen could only watch helplessly as the big hand grabbed towards him, constantly praying in his heart that Gu Changsheng would come out quickly.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a copper coin appeared, instantly knocking the man back.
"Who is it?" The man looked around in horror. At this moment, a fat figure appeared. He was smiling and said, "This poor Taoist is Wu Liang, greetings to this benefactor."
"You're also here to snatch the treasure map?" The man asked coldly.
Wu Liang shook his head and said, "This poor Taoist and Benefactor Feng Chen are friends. When a friend is in trouble, I naturally have to help."
As soon as Wu Liang said this, not only did the man not believe it, but even Feng Chen stared at Wu Liang with wide eyes. When did I become your friend?
The man sneered upon hearing this and said, "You fat man are quite calculating. That way, you don't have to offend the owner of the Longevity Tavern, and you can also get the treasure map."
Wu Liang's expression darkened when he heard the word "fat man." He said in a deep voice, "What did you call this poor Taoist just now?"
"Hehe, fat man, our cultivations are similar. You can't instantly kill me, can you?" The man sneered.
"Amitabha, Heavenly Lord of Immeasurable Dad, what this poor Taoist hates most in this life is when others say I'm fat. Die for me!"
Wu Liang the Taoist roared. A dark furnace appeared in front of him. The furnace opened its mouth, like the mouth of an abyss. Before the Saint Realm cultivator could react, he was swallowed by the dark furnace, without even letting out a scream.
"If this poor Taoist doesn't show his power, you really think I'm a vegetarian!"
Wu Liang spat fiercely.
