âA Transformation Talisman from the Immortal Pagoda! Theyâre worth one premium crystal vein each, how do you have one?!â Qing Ting jumped with shock.
Transformation Talismans came from Lu Yunâs personal handâsupplemental grandmaster puppets couldnât refine them. Heâd set an astronomical price of one premium crystal vein for each talisman, especially considering they were single use items. There werenât many in the Hongmeng who could afford them, but he still sold quite a few.
Haotian Tower was their biggest buyer. They ardently wished to understand how Lu Yun crafted these talismans, but still didnât have a clue after all of their research.
As flabbergasted as Qing Ting was, she knew not to cause any issues at this critical moment. She meekly refined the talisman and used it to change her appearance. Lu Yun requested that she change into a young man, while he shifted into a ferocious looking man.
The two stumbled and probed their way into the Robber Slayers.
âThere sure are a lot of nosy people who like to get involved in stuff. I havenât robbed any of these guys, so what are they going on about?â mumbled Qing Ting as she looked at the indignant cultivators around them.
Itâd only been one day since they started making their rounds and theyâd robbed just over a hundred people at most. But there were more than three thousand members in this alliance!
âHey there, have you been robbed by the Robber Couple too?â Lu Yun patted the shoulder of a young man they hadnât robbed.
âNo.â He shook his head. âBut scum like the Robber Couple deserves to die! This has nothing to do with whether or not Iâve been robbed by them!â
âDonât you think so?â Flushing, the young man continued, âThough they havenât robbed me yet, I know itâs only a matter of time. Since thatâs the case, we might as well strike first and kill them before that happens!
âHow about you two? Do you feel the same?â He looked seriously at Lu Yun and Qing Ting.
âDonât move!â A flash of sword light shot out from Lu Yunâs fingers and hovered behind the young manâs heart. He sent his internal force into the young man and restricted the latterâs movements.
âThis is a robbery!â Qing Ting transmitted viciously.
The young manâs eyes widened; the strangersâ identities were obvious now. It was the Robber Couple! The Robber Slayers were looking everywhere for them, but theyâd changed their appearance and infiltrated the alliance!
Though there were plenty of people around them, no one suspected a thing with how Lu Yun and Qing Ting had made their moves.
âHand over your seed storage and all of your treasures, or Iâll make these breaths your last!â Lu Yun snarled.
The young man shook and quickly followed suit. He hastily handed over his seed storage and treasures, as well as an identity token.
âOh ho, a minor character like you has an identity token?â Lu Yun hefted the token with a smile and gave it to Qing Ting, then stuck a Puppet Talisman on the young man and took control of him. After exchanging glances with Qing Ting, the two were on their way to their next victim.
Groups a thousand strong sauntered through the city, constantly searching for the Robber Couple. However, it was like the two had vanished into thin air and were nowhere to be found.
No one dared strike out on their own since the Robber Couple had been demonized into being larger than life. The two were so strong that several hundred opponents at the same time were still no match for them!
It was why the alliance had waited until they collected three thousand members before setting out in grand style to locate the Robber Couple.
Lu Yun and Qing Ting hid among the group, carefully robbing one new victim after another. Each time they were finished, Lu Yun controlled them with puppet dao so they wouldnât raise the alarm.
âCrystal for your thoughts?â he asked curiously when it seemed like Qing Ting had something on her mind.
âIâm thinking that there are more than thirty-three hundred half step kings here. Can I defeat them all if they attack at the same time?â Qing Ting murmured. âI could do that when facing ghosts on my level because they donât know any combat arts. There was no organization to their attacks, but if I face the same number of cultivatorsâŠâ
âWhy donât we give it a try?â Lu Yun nodded.
âBut if I make a move, the group of titled half step kings at the front will respond as well. That Seven Slaughters Duke, especially, can slow me down even if Iâm sure I can beat him.â
She wasnât concerned about one or two half step kings, but if the allianceâs sixteenâwhich included her brother and the restâcharged at once, theyâd swiftly defeat her.
âWeâll do it right and turn everything upside down!â Lu Yun grinned. âDonât worry and just focus on the ordinary half step kings. Iâll take care of the titled dukes for you!
âReturn to your original features and wear a mask. Donât leave any clues behind for others to use.â He handed a mask to Qing Ting.
âBut⊠youâŠâ She looked uncertainly at him.
âDonât worry about it, I have the Stellar Sword and itâs only sixteen titled dukes!â There was a mask on Lu Yunâs face too now, completely obscuring the looks of the Champion Duke.
If he owns a Transformation Talisman, is his current appearance his real appearance then? The thought suddenly occurred to Qing Ting.
Cerulean radiance suddenly rose from the crowd.
âYoooooo!â Lu Yun roared and waved his sword around. âThis is a robbery! You sixteen idiots up ahead, hand over all of your worldly belongings!â
His shout stunned everyoneâthe Robber Couple had appeared right in front of the Robber Slayers and wanted to rob the alliance!
Azureclad felt the world spin around him. If the Champion Duke was here, then his sister should be nearby too. What in the heavens are these two doing??
Before he could react, he saw Lu Yun charge straight at him.
âIâve been looking for you!â Blackclad spat venomously and unsheathed his flying sword, rushing back out at Lu Yun. The initial twelve titled dukes of the Robber Slayers also shifted into motion.
âWe need to go as well!â Azureclad set his jaw. âHeâs part of Coiling Dragon right now, so he canât die here!â
Azure sword light exploded in the air before he could move and formed a stunningly magnificent sword curtain, sealing off the premises.
âEverybody freeze! This is a robbery!â a masked Qing Ting roared at more than thirty-three hundred half step kings.
Azureclad wished he could faint dead away on the spot. Or something like that.
