I Have A City In An Alternate World

1573 The terrified shop owner (1)

“Little Yingying, little Qing, you don’t have to go to work!”

The white-haired old man thought for a long time but couldn’t find a reasonable excuse, so he could only force himself to give sister Qing a holiday.

If it was possible, he hoped that sister Qing would never come. If she scared the weapon spirit that he had painstakingly cultivated to death, the old man would have to pay so much that he would vomit blood.

In order to capture and cultivate these weapon spirits, the old man had put in a lot of effort, and almost half of his wealth had been invested in it, so he absolutely could not be negligent.

Putting aside his own losses, just having him stand next to a legendary ghost king made him feel uncomfortable. He was afraid of angering this Big Boss who came out of nowhere and followed little green.

Tang Zhen secretly laughed at the side. This old man, who made spiritual body accessories for a fortune, had actually met a King tier spirit cultivator. He was the true ancestor of the devil.

It was very interesting to see him trembling with fear.

Sister Qing was just an ordinary person and didn’t know what had happened. After hearing the old man’s words, she immediately asked in a nervous tone, ” uncle Tong, did I do something wrong? tell me where I did wrong. Don’t drive me away!

From sister Qing’s clothes, it could be seen that her family was not very well-off. Obviously, this job was very important to her. Now that the old man suddenly asked her not to go to work, sister Qing would naturally be nervous.

Usually, her performance was very good, and she was diligent and thoughtful. She really didn’t know what she had done wrong to make the old man say such things.

“No, no, little Qing, you’ve misunderstood!”

Seeing the aggrieved look on Qing Zhu’s face, the old man was so scared that he almost jumped up. If Qing Zhu had some kind of relationship with the ghost king behind him, it would be bad if this Big Shot vented his anger on him.

“I’m sorry, I’m not open today because an old friend is coming. It’s not convenient to open the door!”

The old man’s brain was about to cramp, but he managed to squeeze out an excuse and said to Xiao Qing with a sneer.

“Oh, I see. I’ll come back tomorrow then!”

Sister Qing nodded. As long as it wasn’t her problem, she was fine. Her heart was finally at ease. She smiled sweetly at the old man.

The old man laughed bitterly when he heard this. He thought to himself, ” what the f * ck is going on? if you get the big boss behind you to come here, will I still be able to open my shop? ”

His heart was burning with anxiety, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth to explain, which made the old man depressed.

“You can continue with your business as usual. There won’t be any problems.”

Tang Zhen’s voice sounded from the side, causing the old man, who had a conflicted expression, to be stunned for a moment. Only then did he seriously size up the young man beside little Qing.

He looked very ordinary, and his body was very thin and weak. There seemed to be nothing special about him.

However, there was a hidden meaning to his words. If the old man guessed correctly, he meant that the ghost king beside Qing Zhu would not cause any harm to his Artifact Spirit.

“Little Qing, is this Wufu?”

When she heard the old man’s question, sister Qing smiled and said, ” his name is su huanzhen. He used to be my neighbor.

“Oh, I see. Hello, little su.”

The old man sized Tang Zhen up with a puzzled expression. He could not figure out whether Tang Zhen’s words earlier were intentional or not. If it was intentional, then it would be interesting!

He turned to look at the ghost king and saw him suddenly speak. His voice drilled into his mind, causing the old man’s body to tremble slightly.

I’m only here to protect Qing Zhu. I won’t affect your business. Stop talking nonsense!

Hearing the king level spirit cultivator’s warning, the old man quickly agreed in his heart. He then smiled at Qing and said, ” “Oh, Xiao Qing, I suddenly remembered that I remembered the wrong date. My friend isn’t coming today.”

“I’m old, and my memory is bad. Time really doesn’t spare me!”

“We’re still open for business as usual today. Go and prepare!”

The old man was about to turn around when he suddenly thought of something and quickly said, ” “You’ve been in the shop for so long and you’re so diligent. I’ve decided to increase your salary from today on. Double it!”

Little Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly thanked the old man. She happily walked into the shop and busied herself, humming an unknown song.

treat sister Xiao Qing well, and you’ll get some benefits. Otherwise, you’ll get it!

A voice suddenly rang in the old man’s ears. It sounded somewhat familiar, but when he turned around to look, he only saw the figure of a thin teenager gradually disappearing into the distance.

“I’m afraid that this youngster Yingluo is not simple!”

The old man muttered in a voice that only he could hear. He shook his head slightly and walked upstairs.

With his old arms and legs, if he had such a shock again, he would definitely have a heart attack!

However, when he thought of the legendary ghost king downstairs, the old man began to feel uneasy again. The incense and tea that he used to enjoy seemed to have become tasteless. New chapters are published on Fire(.)net

……

Tang Zhen left sister Xiao Qing’s workplace but didn’t return home. Now that he had finally found a clue, he naturally had to follow the clues to complete the mission.

After sensing the location of the strong man with a broken arm, Tang Zhen teleported and arrived at his target location.

This was a Manor located on the outskirts of the city. It appeared extremely quiet in the night. Although it did not appear to be anything on the surface, Tang Zhen was able to sense the bloody smell that pervaded the air.

Many people had died here, and it was filled with heavy resentment.

The brawny man whose arm was cut off by him was lying in a house at this moment. He was drinking and cursing in large gulps. The person he was cursing was precisely Tang Zhen.

Other than this man, there were dozens of other people in the manor. A dozen of them had energy fluctuations, while the rest were ordinary people.

In the manor’s dungeon, there were a few women locked up. Their eyes were dull and lifeless, as if they had been injected with some kind of tranquilizer.

These images were the results of Tang Zhen’s mental energy investigation. Those who had mental energy fluctuations were all targets that Tang Zhen wanted to eliminate.

With a light snap of his fingers, the reincarnation mirror appeared. Immediately after, a dozen evil spirit cultivators floated out of the mirror and rushed towards the cultivators in the manor with ferocious expressions.

Although it was convenient to kill them directly, it would be letting them off too easily. Therefore, Tang Zhen was prepared to torture them properly. It would be best if they could be scared to death.

A few seconds after the evil spirit cultivators flew out, a shrill scream immediately rang out in the manor, as if the person who made the sound had encountered the most terrifying thing in the world.

The screams came one after another, echoing in every corner of the manor. At first, it was loud and clear, accompanied by the sound of things being thrown and smashed, but it quickly became weak.

Tang Zhen slowly walked into the manor and saw a woman standing on a stool. Her head was stuck into a rope. Soon after, she flipped over the stool and her feet continuously struggled in the air.

After a while, her tongue stuck out, and her body hung straight in the air.

...

An evil spirit cultivator beside him nodded in satisfaction. After jumping around the corpse to celebrate, he casually pulled out a newly-born ignorant spirit body from the corpse and rushed into the reincarnation mirror with a sinister smile.

The cultivators in the manor died one after another. Their souls were sent into the reincarnation mirror by the evil spirit cultivator. What awaited them was endless torture.

Tang Zhen walked in front of a wall and casually waved his hand. The wall suddenly collapsed, revealing a secret passage. However, not a single trace of dust rose during this time.

Tang Zhen took a step forward and walked in. He swept his gaze around before lifting his finger at the metal door beside him.

The metal door suddenly turned into a metal ball, revealing the items inside the room. The most attractive thing was a huge safe.

Tang Zhen stepped forward and tore the safe open. He put away all the money inside and turned to walk to another room.

There were a few women locked up here. They were currently looking at Tang Zhen in a daze within the iron cage. Their eyes did not have any focus.

After using his spiritual energy to investigate and forcing the medicine out of their bodies, Tang Zhen shook his head and quietly appeared outside the manor.

“What’s going on? why haven’t we completed the mission?”

Tang Zhen revealed a puzzled expression as he did not receive his reward even after a long time. He casually took out an account book-like item from his storage equipment.

Tang Zhen’s face revealed a look of realization after he flipped through the account book that he had obtained from the safe a few times.

...

as expected, there’s still a mastermind behind this. I estimate that my first task will be completed after I kill him!

Tang Zhen muttered and kept the account book. He instantly disappeared without a trace.
