â`
However.
Just at that moment, Lin Jue angrily spoke up, asking the two,
âWho are you to bully a little girl like this, arenât you ashamed?â
The bald man turned his head, looked at Lin Jue to the side, and then scoffed with contempt,
âWhatâs it to you? Mind your own business!â
Upon hearing this, Lin Jue immediately became furious and responded,
âHow is it not my business? I am this little girlâs master; her matters are my matters. I will deal with this.â
Perhaps due to his own past experiences, Lin Jue could not contain the rage in his heart when he saw someone bullying the little girl, and he immediately stood up, intending to defend her.
The bald man glanced at Lin Jue, his lips curling into a cold smile, and then his cultivation at the Golden Core Late Stage burst forth from within him, pressing down on Lin Jue.
Seeing this, Ye Yun also hurriedly stepped forward, standing beside Lin Jue, and revealed his own cultivation aura, confronting the bald man.
The surrounding crowd saw this situation and immediately scattered, keeping their distance and watching the few individuals in conflict.
Such scenes were not unheard of in Bihai Cityâs Fang Market, just uncommon.
Although most of the time, the conflicting parties would not really come to blows, the combatants in this standoff were Golden Core Cultivators.
To be on the safe side, the crowd didnât dare get too close and kept their distance.
The bald man saw that Ye Yun had also stepped forward, furrowed his brows, and then said to the two,
âThis little girl is
âThose meddlers, theyâve now messed with the Moon Demon Sect; theyâre finished. The Moon Demon Sect is known for holding grudges, and it looks like it wonât be long before they pay the price for their actionsâ¦â
Someone hurriedly spoke up in a low voice to the person next to them,
âI heardâ¦
âThereâs an old ancestor in the Moon Demon Sect with cultivation reaching the heavens!â
âThe Black Shark Gang was too arrogant and offended that old ancestor of the Moon Demon Sect. It was only then that the old ancestor made a move and wiped out the Black Shark Gang with a single palm.â
Another person chimed in agreeing,
âYeahâ¦
âAfter the Black Shark Gang was wiped out, the Moon Demon Sect quickly took over the territory that the Black Shark Gang had controlled.â
âAnd nobody dares to say anything about it, right?â
âMmm⦠mmmâ¦â
âIâve also heard about thisâ¦â
âProvoking the Moon Demon Sect, these people are in for some bad luck.â
â¦
â¦
At this moment, there was a buzz of speculation within the crowd, and many felt sorry for Lin Jing and the others.
In less than a moment, another person spoke up,
âItâs not necessarily soâ¦â
âHavenât you seen their high cultivation? Maybe they have a powerful faction backing them.â
After saying this, the person also received some support from others,
âMmmâ¦â
âCould beâ¦â
âLooking at how confident they appear, it seems likely they have a strong force behind them, otherwise, why wouldnât they fear the people from the Moon Demon Sectâ¦â
The words of the people around were overheard by Lin Jing without missing a single one.
Especially the part about the Black Shark Gang, which made Lin Jing curious about the Moon Demon Sectâ¦
No one knew the truth about the Black Shark Gangâs destruction more clearly than Lin Jing.
Yet, the fact that the Moon Demon Sect claimed responsibility for wiping out the Black Shark Gang puzzled Lin Jing.
He didnât understand why the Moon Demon Sect would dare to be so bold.
Lin Jing seldom paid attention to the powers around Bihai City near the coastal waters.
He had never heard of the Moon Demon Sect.
By doing this, werenât they afraid someone would come looking for trouble with them?
Or was it simply a way for the Moon Demon Sect to bolster their reputation?
Howeverâ¦
Lin Jing did not ponder for long before temporarily pausing his thoughts.
Because, at that moment, the manager of Bihai Cityâs Fang Market arrived.
The standoff between Ye Yun and the bald man had not lasted long before the manager of Bihai Cityâs Fang Market made an appearance.
This demonstrated the efficient governance of Bihai City.
Seeing the arrival of the market manager, the bald man who had been confronting Ye Yun immediately withdrew his aggressive aura.
Ye Yun, seeing this, also withdrew his aura and circulated his cultivation technique to calm the surging spiritual power within him.
The bald man then turned his head and saw that the market manager was still some distance away from the group.
Seizing the moment, the bald man gave a chilling look towards Ye Yun and Lin Jue and said,
âYou really think our Moon Demon Sect is so easy to provoke? Just you waitâ¦â@@novelbin@@
As he finished speaking, the market manager had already approached.
After the market manager arrived, he surveyed Lin Jing and the others, as well as the bald man and his companions.
Then, with a frown, he said,
âFellow daoistsâ¦â
âThis is the Fang Market of Bihai City. If you have a disagreement, please leave Bihai City before resolving it on your own.â
After the market manager spoke, the bald man quickly replied,
âThank you for the reminder, managerâ¦â
âRest assured, manager, we understand the rules of Bihai City and wonât make things difficult for you. We just had a little friction, but both sides have already reconciled, and there are no issues now.â
âWe are sorry for bothering you, manager, for making this tripâ¦â
In the face of the market manager, the bald man was all smiles, completely different from his attitude when facing Lin Jing and his group.
Of course, this also had to do with the status of Bihai City.
Rampaging in Bihai City was apparently something even the Moon Demon Sect would not dare to doâ¦
Although they claimed to have an old ancestor with heavenly cultivation, the true state of affairs was probably known only to them.
And the market manager maintained a stern face throughout, giving no friendly gesture to the bald man.
The bald man was not angry, but simply made eye contact with his companions and then took his leave with the manager, departing from the area.
