"Good child, Greenwater City is too vast for you to handle, and you shouldn’t take it. I can give you his elixirs, his magical treasures, all his fine goods, but there is one thing you cannot take; you must leave his Contract Book with me."

After speaking, Mu Yuejuan burst into laughter.

As the laughter echoed, Mu Yuejuan’s fingertips trembled, and her fair finger suddenly transformed into a paintbrush.

If the brush drew a line on He Jiaqing, it could slice his face open.

He Jiaqing was a step quicker, lifting his hand, and now there was an ink mark on Mu Yuejuan’s face.

Mu Yuejuan paused in shock, as the ink mark spread, her skin cracked, and Mu Yuejuan was bleeding.

"Clever Hand Emptiness!" Mu Yuejuan was greatly surprised; she never expected that He Jiaqing could stealthily steal her Technique without her noticing. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

In the blink of an eye, He Jiaqing had leapt out of the window.

Mu Yuejuan immediately gave chase: "Young Master He, I’m truly doing this for your own good; you really can’t manage the territory of the Greenwater Beggar!"

...

"Let’s take our time gathering; don’t rush!" Li Banfeng and Gloves were busy collecting the treasures of the Greenwater Beggar.

The Greenwater Beggar’s residence was vast, with plenty of valuables, but because the residence itself was invisible, Li Banfeng could only see the scenes outside of it, and he hadn’t yet figured out the layout inside.

"Boss, be careful; there are quite a few traps in this house too."

Rip!

A paper figure stepped on a trap, getting torn to shreds, and another paper figure immediately came to replace it and continue the investigation.

Within the Greenwater Beggar’s residence, Li Banfeng had placed a total of three hundred seventy-two paper figures, and through their positions, he had roughly mapped out the outline of the residence.

After spending sixteen hours there, he found six Xuanyun Pills, one hundred ninety-three Gold Yuan Pills, and numerous Purple Rejuvenation Pills and Mysterious Red Pills, so many that he hadn’t yet had a chance to count them all.

"Strange, why are there only elixirs, not a single magical treasure?" Gloves rummaged around, picking up a scent between two paper figures.

"Boss, there’s a good treasure down here, probably a high-level spiritual object."

Li Banfeng and Gloves carefully searched, feeling the cold ground, and amidst their exploration, Li Banfeng found a secret compartment.

The secret compartment was locked; although unseen, Li Banfeng could tell there was more than one lock.

Gloves said confidently, "Boss, don’t worry, I’ll have this lock open in less than half an hour."

...

At Knife Ghost Ridge, Cui Tiq was still secretly watching the battle unfold.

The resilience of the Greenwater Beggar left Cui Tiq astonished; he had fought bloodily for days at Knife Ghost Ridge without ever being harmed by the Knife Labor Ghost’s poison.

The casualties of the Knife Labor Ghost were also astonishingly high. If this continued, Green Flower might really manage to break out of Knife Ghost Ridge without getting contaminated by the Knife Labor Ghost’s poison.

In an instant, the Greenwater Beggar repelled another wave of Knife Labor Ghosts, and the number of Knife Labor Ghosts Wan Jinxian could command was dwindling, with many expressing doubts about Wan Jinxian’s abilities.

"Hoo yah yah, hoo yah, yah yah hoo!" A Knife Labor Ghost expressed that Wan Jinxian wasn’t smart, and following him meant only death; they should choose another leader.

"Yah yah yah hoo yah!" Another Knife Labor Ghost claimed Wan Jinxian wasn’t brave, as many had perished, but he always returned alive.

A female Knife Labor Ghost, the most emotionally stirred, exclaimed that Wan Jinxian was short and not capable at all!

Green Flower stood up, seemingly ready to break through.

After such a prolonged siege, the Knife Labor Ghost’s morale had diminished significantly. If they let the Greenwater Beggar break through the first layer of encirclement, he could smash through Knife Ghost Ridge like a hot knife through butter.

To prove his own strength, Wan Jinxian prepared to intercept the Greenwater Beggar alone.

This battle almost seemed predetermined. Under no circumstances could Wan Jinxian compare to the Greenwater Beggar, yet he charged ahead regardless.

Bang!

Wan Jinxian collided with the Greenwater Beggar.

Thud!

The Greenwater Beggar fell.

He fell?

How was that possible?

Cui Tiq was utterly shocked, as the weakened Greenwater Beggar collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
