At that same moment, Xiao Shen crashed into the forest, directly smashing into the group of people around Fairy Silver Star Sage.

BANG!

Sister Zheng and Brother Fu were sent flying from the power of the crash!

They were both dumbfounded, as neither of them even had the slightest idea what hit them!

Was it an attack??

From where she was, Bai Ningxue furrowed her brows and took out her wand. As the three had come looking for some heaven defying treasure item, it was only inevitable that they would attract attention sooner or later. Then, as they had kidnapped the Young Miss of the Jiang family, the mortal police would also get involved, making the whole thing a potpourri of trouble.

It seemed like it was time to take her leave, lest she got involved!

Sister Luo was baffled and she looked at Brother Fu and Sister Zheng who were suddenly sent flying.

The place was empty, except for the three of them and the Young Miss of the Jiang family.

Has someone come to attack us, then??

She thought to herself as she made a hand seal and activated a secret technique.

Eyes of Unravelling!

This technique allowed one to see things that were invisible or hidden from ordinary sight!

She then turned her head left and right as she took a fighting stance and slowly revolved the spiritual energy in her body.

But, still, there was no one there!

Xiao Shen, meanwhile, rubbed his face in pain. He was on the verge of tears. Saying that a real man was not supposed to cry, that was bullsh*t nonsense! Just try slamming headfirst into a brick wall and see whether you cry or not!

The bodies of Brother Fu and Sister Zheng were far harder than steel!

It felt like he had been struck with a metal bar!

He sighed and shook his head in resignation.

Somethings just could not be helped. He had felt the pain already, and he might as well just bear it.

"Who is there!" Sister Zheng came out of the surrounding forest with a deep frown. She too was silently circulating her spiritual energy in preparation to attack.

"Show your face!" Brother Fu said.

The three of them regrouped into a triangle-like formation; Brother Fu and Sister Luo back to back, while Sister Zheng stood at the front. This way, were an attack to come, they would definitely notice it.

"Heh." Xiao Shen chuckled out loud. He was currently invisible and they could not see him at all.

The three of them felt their bodies tense up upon hearing his voice. Not because it contained any power or anything, but simply because it was there and they could not notice anything. It was that feeling of doing something secretive, only to come out and find that the person you were doing it to surprise was just in the next room.

Had they seen you?

Had they not seen you?

You’d never know!

Either way, it was quite annoying to have been watched in secret without knowing it.

It was very, very uncomfortable!

That’s my cue...

Bai Ningxue thought to herself as she directly opened a spatial gate and fled.

It was best to avoid trouble before trouble troubled you! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Release the Jiang family’s Young Miss." He said with a stern voice. "We have no enmity, why should I have to kill you three?"

Sister Zheng frowned and said. "Fellow Daoist, who are you??"

At the same time, the chat group exploded with comments.

[Anchor, say something cool!]

[Anchor, say: This daddy is too great for you to know! It would be really cool!]

[Bah! ’Laozi deems you unworthy to know his identity’ is far better!]

[This Little Miss looks so mature, far better than Anchor’s current dao companion, who does not even practice the dao at all!]

[Idiot, Anchor does not practice the dao either!]

Xiao Shen twitched the corners of his lips. He folded his hands and said. "Laozi is too great for you to know. This daddy has deemed you unworthy to know his identity!"

They were very shameful lines, but, in face of three cultivators who could most likely beat him up, then f*ck shame!

What was shame compared to life?

Could it be eaten??

Pfft!

From where he stood in the sky, the man almost laughed out loud. He could see that the person was a mere mortal and had not even the slightest trace of Qi aura. He was an Immortal, it was only natural that he could see through the invisibility cloak.

Sister Zheng’s frown deepened. In the world of cultivation, there were only two outcomes that came about when someone met an unknown fellow daoist.

First scenario: you met the unknown fellow daoist, offend him, and get beaten up to a pulp, probably being turned into cultivation resources due to underestimating them as they were actually peerless geniuses who were powerhouses within their realm. Or, even worse, a bot pranking senior.

Second scenario: you met an unknown fellow daoist and offended them. However, you end up cheated because you actually overestimated them and they were actually idiots with low cultivation that seemed powerful.

Both of them were rather unfavorable conditions!

Was he a senior?

Was he not a senior?

How was she supposed to know?!

She did not dare offend him, and she did not dare to let him walk away. If they also came for the treasure item that could make one unparalleled under the heavens, then both of them would not be able to coexist!

Sister Luo narrowed her eyes and looked at Sister Zheng. "Sister Zheng, what do we do?"

Brother Fu frowned. "Do we fight?"

What SHOULD we do?

Should we attack?

Sister Zheng thought to herself.

Or should we obediently hand over the Young Miss of the Jiang family and lose the only clue we have got towards finding that treasure item that makes one unparalleled under the heavens...

A conflicted look appeared on her face.

[Anchor should look really cool right now!]

[Tsk, @###, your cloak is too powerful!]

[I can’t see Anchor at all!]

[Fairy Silver Star Sage: Xi— Anchor, an annoying guy is watching you all from above!]

[Ahaha, of course my invisibility cloak is top tier. Even though it’s power is a little bit exaggerated this time, only cultivators at the True Xian realm or above are able to see through it!]

[I can see through it! I’m at the Greater Arcane Emperor rank of the Arcanist Magic System.]

[Oh? You can see through it! Tell me how Anchor looks!]

[Very overbearing!]

«[### has gifted you +1 <Aura> pill!]»

Xiao Shen’s body suddenly exploded with a tyrannical aura that made Sister Zheng, Brother Fu and Sister Luo have their knees go soft in an instant.

[Ohohoho! From the Little Miss’ face, one can tell just how overbearing Anchor should look!]

[Fairy Silver Star Sage: Focus! There is someone in the sky, someone who is very troublesome!]

[If Anchor could be seen, then his overbearingness would instantly quadruple!]

[Nah, if Anchor could be seen, then these three fellows would be less scared and attack.]

[Just these three, Anchor can handle them with one hand tied behind his back!]

Xiao Shen twitched the corners of his lips.

Please, which Xiao Shen are you talking about? Because it certain isn’t this one!

He had been an ordinary university student just two days ago!

TWO DAYS AGO!

The fact that he had managed to swiftly adapt to this real life livestream was because he had an open mind and a penchant for seeking death at times. Even still, he was definitely very interested in the origins of this strange platform and would certainly dig up the truth sooner or later!

Because, reality was different from those in crappy online novels where the MC would suddenly receive a system and start using it, even to the point of trusting it with his life, without questioning it’s existence anywhere past ’Holy sh*t, is this a system?!’.

Those fellows were pathetic!

Trusting in higher powers was okay, but relying on their benevolence was paving your way to the grave!

Anyways, Xiao Shen noticed the expression on the faces of the three cultivators and chose to strike while the iron was still hot. "Humph. The mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole coming behind it, hand over the Jiang family’s young miss or suffer my wrath!"

Sister Luo trembled before such a tyrannical aura, while cold sweat ran down Brother Fu’s spine. Sister Zheng was deeply troubled, but she managed to keep a clear head. She bowed and cupped her fists respectfully. "Senior, when the Sandpiper and the Clam fight each other, it’s the fisherman who benefits. Surely we could settle this matter amicably."

Originally, she thought that they could definitely not let him walk away from here, and now it seemed like she had to find a way to enable they themselves to be able to escape. As for defeating him, the aura coming from his body was comparable to that of their clan head!

She did not dare to even try thinking of it!

"..." Xiao Shen.

I’m over here, why are you paying your respects to a tree?!

He was invisible and was standing next to a tree trunk. Didn’t cultivators have great hearing and all that?

Surely she could not have mistaken the direction his voice was coming from!

Then, his face turned stifled.

Surely she doesn’t think I’m a monster tree or something, right?

Right?!
