Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 50: Chapter 51: The Social Climate of the Otherworld is a Bit Poor

”What do you mean?”

Chen Che’s expression didn’t change.

”Owner, please understand!”

The man with the vertical scar slowly rose and cupped his hands.

”Any Cultivator, even if they don’t have a photographic memory, still has far better recall than an ordinary person.”

”And as everyone knows, Cultivation Techniques are not to be shared lightly. Although you only looked at two pages, Owner, you must have memorized some of the content. For us, that constitutes a loss.”

As he spoke, the other two Cultivators standing in the backyard also uncrossed their arms and stared over coldly.

”So...”

Chen Che glanced at the two and frowned.

”If you think it’s too expensive, Owner, we can negotiate the price.”

”But if you truly don’t want to buy it, we won’t force you. We just ask that you compensate the three of us brothers for our loss. Don’t worry, Owner, we’re all respectable people. We won’t be unreasonable—five Spirit Stones will suffice.”

The man with the vertical scar said with a beaming smile.

”In other words, you’re extorting me?”

Chen Che suddenly understood. So, he’d run into scammers.

In reality, the first two pages were mostly an introduction with very little actual cultivation content, yet they were using it as a basis for extortion.

Moreover, seeing how they were respectful at first, only to turn hostile later—and with such practiced ease—they had likely done this many times before.

”You exaggerate, Owner.”

The man with the vertical scar didn’t deny it. ”But if you insist on seeing it that way, then so be it!”

If their target were powerful, they would have backed off and left without another word. But since this one looked like an easy target, they decided to squeeze him for what they could. After all, he wouldn’t kill them over a few Spirit Stones. Many merchants in this situation would just accept their bad luck and pay for peace and quiet.

And if he tried to retaliate later, they had ways to deal with it. After all, the barefooted aren’t afraid of those who wear shoes.

”If you were going to try and scam me, you should have just said so. I have urgent business to attend to, and you’re wasting my time!”

Chen Che suddenly laughed.

”You’re a straightforward one, Owner!”

The man with the vertical scar didn’t understand, but seeing Chen Che laugh, he laughed along.

Just as he thought Chen Che was about to pay, Chen Che suddenly made a grabbing motion with his backhand. Before the man could react...

ZING!

A flash of Sword Aura streaked past.

CRACK!

A crisp snap rang out.

To the astonishment of the other two Cultivators, the water vat in the yard suddenly split in two, and water gushed out.

At the same time, the scarred man’s body shuddered. His torso slid apart from his legs as he was cleaved in two, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

The smile hadn’t even faded from his face.

”Big Brother!”

”Let’s get him! Avenge Big Brother!”

The other two Cultivators cried out in alarm, clearly not expecting Chen Che to attack so suddenly.

With roars of anger, they both lunged at Chen Che.

The flash of the sword appeared again.

In an instant, two heads went flying.

”The atmosphere in this Otherworld is truly terrible!”

Chen Che slowly sheathed his sword.

...

In the front shop, Zhao Deyou stared toward the backyard, his heart filled with anxiety.

”Master Ding, those men didn’t look like good people. They’re likely Overseas Dragons from Chi State.”

As they say, the face is the mirror of the heart.

Though their words and actions were flattering, they still revealed a thuggish air from time to time.

They didn’t seem like the easy-to-deal-with type.

”The owner went in with them. Do you think something will happen?”

”One of them is at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, and the other two are at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer. If they cause trouble, we won’t be able to handle it.”

”And I heard the Market hasn’t been safe lately. There have been several massacres where entire families were wiped out! They still haven’t found the killer. Master Hu’s side is still investigating...”

Zhao Deyou was extremely worried.

Just then, a sudden clamor came from inside, which even included the ring of a sword.

But it vanished just as quickly.

Ding Fei’s expression changed.

”This is bad! Hurry and get Hu Yao! Tell him...”

He’s a disciple of Jinyun Valley; he can definitely handle these Overseas Dragons.

Before he could finish his sentence, a voice suddenly called from the inner courtyard, ”Ding Fei, Zhao Deyou...”
