The Omniversal Merchant-Chapter 184: Boss, Do You Need Us to Step In?

"The casual mode in this game is ridiculously realistic! It took us ages just to start a fire!"

"Right? But at least the fish turned out great! Honestly, it tastes amazing!"

"I've made up my mind—I'm having fish for lunch when I get back!"

The group chatted excitedly.

Surviving in the wilderness from scratch, without cultivation, was a new and thrilling challenge for them.

The best part? No real danger.

Even if they died, they'd just respawn.

"But thinking back on what the boss said earlier, I feel like his words had a deeper meaning," Gu Yunxi mused, glancing at Luo Chuan.

Jiang Wanshang nodded in agreement. "Yeah! If we truly grasp the questions he raised, our cultivation path might become much smoother!"

The group turned toward Luo Chuan.

But, as expected, his expression remained completely unchanged.

They were already used to this.

"In that case, Boss, we'll head out now," Xia Yuan said, preparing to leave.

Luo Chuan nodded.

Xia Yuan and the others had just reached the store's entrance when they suddenly froze.

In the alley ahead, five figures were approaching.

An intense murderous aura radiated from them.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

Hostile intent.

That was everyone's first thought.

At the same time, the five newcomers released their Pathseeker-level pressure without restraint.

The sheer force of it sent a wave of oppressive energy surging forward.

Gu Yunxi and the others turned pale and instinctively retreated into Origin Mall.

Only one person stood his ground.

Ying Wuji's expression was cold.

His sharp gaze locked onto the five intruders, his own aura sharpening like a blade.

"When did the people of Silver Moon Palace become so arrogant?" Ying Wuji's voice was icy.

A moment later, the peak Pathseeker unleashed his own aura, crashing against the five like a raging storm.

Spiritual energy surged through the alley, colliding violently.

Ying Wuji had recognized the silver moon insignia on their robes.

Which meant—

Chu Yangping.

"So, a peak Pathseeker?" Chu Yangping muttered, slightly surprised.

Then, his eyes flicked to Ying Wuji and Xia Yuan, who stood beside him with cold expressions.

His frown deepened.

He had immediately recognized the academy emblems on their robes—Soaring Cloud Academy and Moon Star Academy.

Both were top-tier institutions.

And these two?

Ninth-rank Pathseekers.

From their demeanor, they were likely instructors.

A bad feeling crept into Chu Yangping's heart.

According to the information Ji Wuhui had given him, the one who killed his son was this shop's owner.

But now, two powerful academy figures had just walked out of the shop.

Did that mean...

They were affiliated with him?

That would make things very complicated.

Even so, Chu Yangping wasn't about to back down.

He had come to Nine Stars City with one goal—revenge.

And he wasn't leaving without it.

"Step aside," he said in a low, commanding tone. "We have no quarrel with you. This is Silver Moon Palace's business."

He wanted to make it clear—this was not their fight.

But Ying Wuji and Xia Yuan had already pieced it together.

They remembered the battle that had taken place in Nine Stars City not long ago.

One of the combatants?

Chu Yangping's soul projection.

The other?

The Boss.

A silent exchange of glances.

This was the perfect opportunity to win the Boss's favor.

Xia Yuan turned toward the shop and asked respectfully—

"Boss, do you need us to step in?"
