After all, the Cultivation World is a place where the strong prey on the weak, utterly unregulated. In the marketplace, rules are adhered to because Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators are in charge, supported by Law Enforcement Cultivators. Now that Robber Cultivators are attacking the marketplace, chaos reigns, order collapses, and under the temptation of immense profits, anyone could turn into a Robber Cultivator! "Brothers, what are you waiting for, loot!" Inside a certain inn, a Loose Cultivator saw the situation and immediately shouted, trying to incite more people to join the action. "Lan’er, you stay at home and take care of the children, I’ll be right back." "Husband, don’t go, please don’t!" "Fortune comes with risk, this may be my only chance in life, I can’t give it up. Just stay safe at home, I’ll be back soon." In a small courtyard, a tall man with a Magical Sword in hand, said to his wife. "This old fool has lived a life of timidity, for the sake of our descendants, it’s worth a gamble!" Within a narrow and simple dwelling, an old man with a face showing age and hair as white as frost, looking up at the sky, gritted his teeth. He then took out a somewhat damaged Flying Sword and left the house. For Loose Cultivators, the chaos in the marketplace is dangerous, but also an opportunity. Dependent on stable jobs, they can never earn many Spirit Stones in their lifetime. But if they can take advantage of the confusion to seize some Elixir Medicines, Magic Artifacts, or heavenly and earthly treasures, they could save countless years of effort. In a moment, the entire marketplace was filled with the sounds of combat, cries for help, and weeping, all intermingling. ... The Lu Family compound. "Robber Cultivators are attacking the marketplace?" Lu Changsheng, looking out the window at the distant commotion. At the moment Yu Yuanshan took action and the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators clashed, he had sensed the disturbance and woken from his sleep. Now he heard the Great Formation of Red Leaf Valley rumbling loudly. Under the roaring thunder and erratic flashes of ominous, sinister purple light, he was nearly certain that Robber Cultivators were attacking the marketplace. And they were striking from both inside and outside the marketplace. Otherwise, such a commotion would have been impossible. "Just when someone is attempting Foundation Establishment in the marketplace and the Great Formation can’t be fully powered, Robber Cultivators come... Clearly, they came prepared," Lu Changsheng murmured calmly to himself. He had previously sensed that allowing someone to undergo Foundation Establishment in the Red Leaf Valley Market would increase risks. But he hadn’t expected such an incident to happen so soon and with such ferocity. "Changsheng." At this moment, Lu Miaoge also woke up due to the noise and looked out the window, noticing the abnormal state of the Green Water Cloud Formation, her face showing shock. "It seems Robber Cultivators are attacking the marketplace to loot." Lu Changsheng turned back and said to Lu Miaoge. "Robber Cultivators raiding the marketplace!?" Hearing this, Lu Miaoge was immediately startled. Such incidents have occurred in the Cultivation World before. There have even been Robber Cultivators who secretly wiped out some Cultivation Families. However, these events were rare and very uncommon. She hadn’t expected that the Red Leaf Valley Market would encounter such an ordeal now. "Our shop might also be getting looted right now; I’ll go have a look." Lu Changsheng said to Lu Miaoge. He could tell that the Robber Cultivators were mainly targeting the commercial district. They wouldn’t come to the residential area. After all, the residential area where the Lu Family compound was located was considered a more central part of Red Leaf Valley Market. People who lived there were not ordinary in terms of status, identity, and strength. It would be more trouble than it was worth to come here, so looting shops and stores was a quicker way to gain money. "I’ll go with you." Lu Miaoge said immediately. "Stay here in the compound, I have plenty of Talismans with me, and I’ll be fine," Lu Changsheng told Lu Miaoge. He planned to check not only the shop but also to see exactly what was happening in the marketplace. After all, the Red Leaf Valley Market belonged to the four major Families and he had both a shop and a cave dwelling there. If this chaos continued, the entire marketplace might suffer a crippling blow, taking a decade or more to recover. "Uncle Yuan Ling is watching over the compound, Changsheng, I’ll go with you," Lu Miaoge continued, her beautiful face showing determination. The current situation was extremely chaotic and she truly didn’t feel comfortable letting Lu Changsheng go alone to investigate. After all, if Robber Cultivators dared to raid the marketplace, there must be Foundation Establishment Cultivators leading them. Otherwise, the commotion wouldn’t be as big. "Alright, let’s go together then," Lu Changsheng, seeing his wife’s firm expression, smiled and nodded his head. Knowing that Lu Miaoge was also stubborn despite appearing tender, and seeing her looking so determined, he found it difficult to refuse. Immediately, they both left the courtyard. At this time, other members of the Lu Family also began to leave their houses. "Changsheng, Miaoge." "Second Elder, Sister Miaoge." Seeing Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoge, they all called out. "Second Elder, with Robber Cultivators raiding the marketplace, Miaoge and I will go check our shop," Lu Changsheng said to one of them. This Lu Family Second Elder was no longer the same as the one from the Nine Dragons Market. He was a newly-promoted elder from last year, named Lu Yuanling. He was currently in charge of the Red Leaf Valley Marketplace for the Lu Family. "Okay, Changsheng, Miaoge, be careful," Lu Yuanling said after a moment’s thought, nodding his head. He knew that Lu Changsheng had broken through to the Seventh Level Energy Refinement and Lu Miaoge possessed Ninth Level Energy Refinement strength. As Talisman Masters with Talismans at their sides, they shouldn’t run into much trouble. "Yuan Qing, Miaofeng, Miaoyu, the rest of you follow me..." He looked at several other Lu Family disciples and Executors, issuing orders. With the marketplace in upheaval and the looting by Robber Cultivators, they needed to ensure the shops were secure and try to stabilize the situation as much as possible. After all, the Lu Family still had the most invested in the marketplace and would suffer significant losses if the chaos continued. "Understood!" The others nodded and left the compound, rushing towards the commercial district.
