Ming Zhitian looked at Fan Wuqi, "Old Fan, I'll give you one too. Pick one."
Fan Wuqi wanted to refuse, but Ming Zhitian said, "No need for pleasantries."
Fan Wuqi smiled, "Thank you kindly, Young Master."
He chose a Xiaotian, and Ming Zhitian paid for it before they left the beast riding ground.
Fan Wuqi smiled faintly, "I wouldn't have guessed, Young Master, you're quite a tycoon."
Ming Zhitian returned his smile, "You've seen my less-than-ideal side."
Fan Wuqi shook his head slightly, "Not at all, Young Master. You've been wandering outside, and I feared you might not be faring well. It seems I worried unnecessarily."
Ming Zhitian nodded, "You are thoughtful."
After the three left, the shopkeeper gnashed his teeth. That Bai Ze Chuan Chuan was worth ten million, yet it fell into the hands of a pauper. He felt utterly displeased and gave Ah Ming a severe beating!
"Jingle dang dang..."
A bell tinkled. A beautiful woman, light as a swallow, with several subordinates, happened to pass by Ming Zhitian and the other two.
"Wait a moment," the woman called out.
"Hmm? Something wrong?" Ming Zhitian turned back.
The woman beamed with joy. She had come for the mount: "Bai Ze Chuan Chuan? That's what I want, give it to me."
Her tone was unquestionable, and Ming Zhitian felt instantly annoyed. Did every spoiled young lady have princess syndrome? Arrogant and presumptuous, not even asking if people were willing.
Seeing Ming Zhitian's silence, the woman introduced herself, "My name is Wuli Qiangluo. It is your honor to gift this mount to me, this young lady."
If not for the bandages around her head, Ming Zhitian would have forgotten that everyone here was bald, except for the women.
"I will not," Ming Zhitian stated.
Wuli Qiangluo raised an eyebrow, "What did you say?"
Fan Wuqi recognized her, or rather, not her, but the person beside her, Wuli Zhen, an eighth-level Shenluo realm expert with the moniker, "Invincible within the Shenluo realm."
Fan Wuqi whispered, "Young Master, taking a step back means a wider sky, enduring for a moment means peace. Let's avoid trouble for now, we can't fight them."
But Ming Zhitian was unwilling. He had finally found a good mount, hoping it would be a companion for Tianying, only to encounter bandits halfway. Even Fan Wuqi's fear indicated the opponents' formidable strength.
Seeing that Ming Zhitian had no intention of handing it over, and before he could make a move, Wuli Qiangluo ordered her subordinates, "Drive them away."
Several tenth-level Awakened realm thugs eagerly stepped forward. Before Ming Zhitian could act, Bai Liuli summoned her divine-grade artifact, the Sea Liuli, and plucked its strings!
"Creak..."
The several tenth-level Awakened realm thugs were instantly repelled, falling to the ground, their fate uncertain.
Wuli Qiangluo involuntarily took a step back. Wuli Zhen, loyal to his master, quickly stepped in front of her, shielding her. He made his move.
A golden staff appeared out of thin air!
Wuli Zhen gripped it in his palm and swung it out!
Bai Liuli quickly strengthened her magic power, but she was still repelled by Wuli Zhen's single strike, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Her hands, holding the Sea Liuli, trembled slightly, "So strong... is this the power of a unique bloodline?"
Fan Wuqi cried out, "Wutian."
A gray magical sword flew out, and he grasped it, drawing it in a single stroke!
"Dual Star Dragon Jade Flower Halberd Art!" Ming Zhitian's immortal-grade artifact, the Dragon Taming Gauntlets, struck out with both fists.
Wuli Zhen, holding the staff with one hand, confronted Fan Wuqi, while his other hand struck at Ming Zhitian.
Bai Liuli reorganized her thoughts, waved the Sea Liuli again. The three combined their attacks, resisting Wuli Zhen alone, the battle at a stalemate for the moment!
Bai Liuli was slightly stunned, "Being at the same eighth-level Shenluo realm, my magic power seems to have no effect on him."
Fan Wuqi said, "This is the power of a divergent cultivator."
The stalemate lasted less than two minutes before Fan Wuqi wanted to surrender, "Senior Wuli Zhen, this junior has offended you greatly. I implore you to show mercy and spare us."
