Necropolis Immortal Chapter 2182.2: Purplestar Silver

Chapter 2182.2: Purplestar Silver

The man in black lit up; he knew full well how much strength he’d put into that slap. At mid foundation establishment, w.a.n.g Bu’er completely lacked the ability to defend against it. There was no doubt about it, that slap would’ve taken the man’s life.

But the young man’s pill had brought w.a.n.g Bu’er back to life again! That meant the pill was at least seventh rank or even higher. A seventh rank pill was already a higher rank pill.

“Hand over your pills and medicines, kid! We’ll let you off the hook for it!” The man in black waved some of his men forward to grab their first victim while others advanced on Lu Yun. The young man’s clothes were only lower rank fine treasures—although they looked opulent, they didn’t originate from a major clan or sect.

But so what if the kid came from an impressive background? The relations.h.i.+ps of factions in Fallen Leaf City were a complex web. Multiple interests were in play from all sides and the city swallowed numerous Dark Orchid youngsters every year. None of their families dared take the city to task for it.

Thus, the burly man acted without reservation and grabbed for Lu Yun.

“It’s usually this young master making trouble for others. To think that trouble dares provoke me today?” Lu Yun snorted and easily s.h.i.+fted to the side, kicking the man’s crotch.

“Owwwww!” Caught off guard, the man in black howled like a crying wolf. He flew backward and broke through the defensive formation on the ceiling with his head. He came to a stop wrapped around the rafters; no other sound was forthcoming from his mouth.

Those a.s.sembled sucked in a sharp breath. Who was this young man to kill a golden core powerhouse with one kick??

“Yutou? He killed Yutou!” The other gang members flocked together when they saw that the man in black was dead. The young man’s cultivation wasn’t strong—the ripples from his body pointed to only latter foundation establishment. However, he’d killed one of them with a single move!

“No matter who you are, kid, you’re dead meat after killing one of the Darkwater Gang!” snarled another golden core cultivator. Of the group blockading the first floor staircase, one had already left to report this to headquarters.

Lu Yun chuckled darkly and couldn’t be bothered to respond. His body s.h.i.+fted slightly to the side.

Bam bam bam!

What sounded like eggs cracking sounded one after another as a dozen gang members hung from the ceiling in the blink of an eye. They were alive, just crippled of their cultivation and manhood.

“Are you alright?” Lu Yun glanced at w.a.n.g Bu’er.

“My deepest thanks to the gentleman!” w.a.n.g Bu’er was fully aware that he’d misspoke and offended the gang, thereby dragging Lu Yun into his affairs. He was also immensely grateful that Lu Yun had taken out a pill at least seventh rank to save him.

Dense goodwill floated out of w.a.n.g Bu’er, but Lu Yun also sensed another strong surge from another direction.

“Long Aotian offers immense thanks to the gentleman for saving my life!” the middle-aged man with the bundle profusely thanked Lu Yun.

“Long Aotian?” Lu Yun blinked. “h.e.l.lo Long Aotian, goodbye Long Aotian.” [1]

“What?” Long Aotian started with incomprehension.

“Eh, nothing,” Lu Yun smiled. “I didn’t do this to help you. I did this because they offended me.”

“No matter what, you saved my life! I wouldn’t live to see tomorrow’s sun if the gang laid hands on me!” Long Aotian shook his head.

“Sir, the Darkwater Gang will pursue you to the end of the world after you’ve killed one of theirs. You should leave Fallen Leaf City as soon as possible,” w.a.n.g Bu’er interjected.

“That’s right, you should leave right now. This humble one was targeted because I found a piece of Purplestar Silver. The Darkwater Gang is not a group that listens to reason.” Long Aotian shoved his bundle into Lu Yun’s hand as he spoke. He’d discovered a chunk of Purplestar Silver in Fallen Leaf Mountain and hoped to sell it for a good price. However, the gang set their sights on him as soon as he returned from the mountain and followed him to his lodgings.

Long Aotian had planned to concede and sell the silver for a low price as soon as he saw the men, but they beat him up without another word. The gang wouldn’t be satisfied with just the silver, they wanted his life as well.

He would already be dead if it wasn’t for w.a.n.g Bu’er murmuring at Lu Yun’s ear and drawing their attention.

“Purplestar Silver?” Lu Yun opened the bundle to find a chunk of metal the size of a fist. It was purple throughout and s.h.i.+mmered with silver radiance. “This is indeed Purplestar Silver. It’s not a premier ingredient, but it’s priceless beyond compare in Dark Orchid Empire.”

He threw the chunk into his storage ring and took out another one hundred pieces of paramount rank spirit stone. He put them in a storage bag as he could tell Long Aotian didn’t have a storage treasure of his own.

“I’m buying this silver for one hundred paramount rank stones. Of course it’s worth more than that, but I don’t have any more spirit stones on me.” Lu Yun tossed the bag to Long Aotian.

“Many, many thanks to the gentleman!” Being a cultivator at the bottom of society, when would Long Aotian ever lay hands on one hundred paramount stones? He didn’t know how much the silver was worth, but it was a wondrous treasure that could be sold for a decent sum.

Another large bloom of goodwill rose from Long Aotian.

Lu Yun had crawled up from the base of the hierarchy of power in some of his lifetimes, so he held utmost sympathy for these cultivators at the bottom of the totem pole. What sense of accomplishment was there in bullying the weak? If the disciple of heavenly dao wanted to bully someone, they would bully the strong.

“It looks like there are quite a few treasures in Fallen Leaf Mountain if something like Purplestar Silver can be found there. The Duskwater Gang must’ve gathered quite a few treasures during their years of operation. I’ll pay a visit to their vaults when I have time.” As Lu Yun’s thoughts ran wildly, the innkeeper ran over to address the situation.

He was an elder with graying hair and latter golden core. When he saw the gang members hanging from the ceiling like links of sausage, he nearly fainted dead away.

“Oh, oh dear… What do we do now?” Paling with horror, one could tell from his words that he was an honest man.

“Don’t worry, innkeeper. I take full responsibility for my actions. This young master will take care of the Darkwater Gang for you.” Lu Yun shook his head when he saw the man’s expression.

“Sir, I know you come from an ill.u.s.trious background, but you can’t hold off the Duskwater Gang forever. They’ll come back around after you leave!” The innkeeper nearly cried.

Boom!

Countless customers shrieked and ran outside when the inn shook.

Boom!

Another explosion rang out. Lu Yun regarded the development with an unpleasant expression. The rest of the gang had come, but didn’t enter the inn. They attacked it from outside, trying to raze it to the ground.

“I do my fair share of bullying others, but not like this!” he sneered and summoned a folding fan into his hand. It was his prized p.o.r.nographic fan. Snapping it open, the lewd scenes seemed to come alive. A man and a woman ill.u.s.trated numerous unspeakable acts, replete with obscene sounds from body and mouth.

A curtain of pink light enveloped Cloudflow Inn, stunning the gang members outside. Most were nearly drooling and some noses ran with blood. Tents appeared and rapidly grew in height from their trousers.

Lu Yun’s illusory formation wasn’t something that a few golden core or foundation establishment cultivators could withstand. The strongest gang member present—a nascent soul cultivator—kept a tight grip on his mind and locked himself in place.

“Hmph, it’s your lucky day. I made this formation diagram with Sola Aoi, Yui Hatano, and others in mind. You get to experience it for free today!”

Wait a moment… who are these people?

Lu Yun shook his head fiercely, knowing that these names came from his sealed memories.

“Activate!” Lu Yun shook his hand and raised a burst of illumination from his fan, enveloping the Darkwater Gang members outside.

And then…

The citizens of Fallen Leaf City witnessed an utterly preposterous scene.

Two dozen gang members clasped each other tightly and ripped the clothes off each other. They fervently engaged in the most basic actions of human nature—even the nascent soul cultivator put up only brief struggle before joining them.

Countless jaws dropped.

“Tsk tsk, look at that ardor and enthusiasm!” Lu Yun clucked his tongue with appreciation as he stood by a window on the second floor.

The innkeeper, w.a.n.g Bu’er, Long Aotian, and others were flabbergasted. All they’d seen was Lu Yun take out a fan and wave it around before the scene outside took place.

Lu Yun’s folding fan was an illusory formation diagram that he’d refined in a spare moment. It was effective against those below soul projection or impatient and blundering cultivators. But to someone of steady heart and mind like Lu Xiaochi or Bloodbath, it was a joke.

Given the gang’s typical domineering, bl.u.s.tering ways, it was the perfect formation to use against them.
