Duan Gujin and Yan Dapang arrived at a nearby city and purchased some Spiritual Medicines before returning to the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect.

This time, they didn't encounter an ambush from assassins, nor did they detect the presence of enemies nearby.

After returning to their residence at the Heaven Stealing Immortal Sect, Duan Gujin and Yan Dapang continued to cultivate and didn't pay much mind to the assassin.

Once one's Cultivation reaches Martial Saint, they can transform their Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul into a Star Dragon Martial Soul.

Once successful in the transformation, one would be qualified to enter the Divine World.

The gap between mortals and Divine beings has a minimum threshold; this threshold is that only when a mortal transforms their Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul into a Star Dragon Martial Soul can they qualify to become a higher-level Divine being.

Only by shedding the mortal coil can one become Divine!

To use Great Divine Powers, one must let their Martial Soul undergo Transformation.

Throughout history, for mortals wanting to cultivate into being, the hardest part has been how to transform the Martial Soul into a Star Martial Soul.

Whether it's the Human Clan, Devil Clan, or Demon Clan, they all face this difficult Transformation issue.

Generally, only Martial Artists who have reached the Ninth-level Martial Saint would consider transforming their Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul into a Star Dragon Martial Soul.

Therefore, Duan Gujin currently doesn't even contemplate how to transform his Heavenly Dragon Martial Soul into a Star Dragon Martial Soul.

Half a month later, under the lead of Yan Dapang, they arrived at a tavern in a nearby city.

This was a restaurant especially prepared for Martial Artists; ordinarily, quite a few disciples from great martial arts families from the Jiuzhou Continent would gather here.

And this tavern was one amongst the many businesses owned by Yan Dapang, moreover, it was an important hub for gathering information.

"How much real information can you gather using a tavern?"

Duan Gujin asked out of curiosity.

"It all depends on the ability to discern; some Martial Artists simply boast, some tell the truth when drunk, some speak the truth when provoked by others!"

Yan Dapang said.

Driven by curiosity, Duan Gujin joined Yan Dapang in his Red Flower Restaurant.

After arriving at one of the floors, Duan Gujin and Yan Dapang sipped tea while listening to nearby Martial Artists engaged in animated discussion.

Indeed, they soon overheard some discussions about recent events amongst the family disciples.

From those conversations of the family disciples, Duan Gujin surmised that they must be exchanging information here.

After all, the Red Flower Restaurant locally was the most luxurious one, so those great family disciples naturally preferred gathering here rather than exchanging information in the small taverns on the streets.

As for whether the information exchanged was true or false, probably only the speakers themselves knew.

"Is it true that an elder from the Liuyun Immortal Sect obtained a Treasure?"

"It should be true, I have people specifically working for me; it's Elder Qingfeng. After he entered the Great Snow Mountain, he found a cave. Inside that cave, he discovered a skeleton left by someone from the Demon Path in the past. He claimed to the public that he found the Heavenly-level Mysterious Weapon Quicksand Sword, but what other Treasures he found, only he himself knows!"

Similar conversations went on, and from these, Duan Gujin quickly judged that these great family disciples were here exchanging information about various first-class Sects.

But soon, an argument erupted from a room downstairs.

"Shameless creature, you dare to mess with my sister!"

"It was your sister who threw herself at me, begging me to sleep with her. I felt lonely and empty at night so I slept with her, considering it exercise for my body! Nobody lost out here!"

"Ha ha!"

The nearby profligate sons burst out into loud laughter.

"Die!"

The young man whose sister had been taken by a scion of a great family was overcome with rage, and immediately drew a large saber from his waist, slashing towards that scion.

The corner of the scion's mouth twitched as he sneered coldly. With a flick of his right hand, a soft sword whooshed out from his waistband and stabbed into the young man's throat.

Gurgling sounds ensued!

The young man's eyes bulged with fury as he glared at the scion.

Then, with a single thrust, the scion pierced through the young man's throat. The young man convulsed a few times on the ground, bleeding from all orifices, and then breathed his last.

Duan Gujin inhaled sharply, having not noticed earlier that the two young men had come to blows. He was too late to save the murdered young man.

Moreover, his Divine Sense detected a very lethal poison on the tip of the scion's sword.

Within the span of three breaths, the young man was thoroughly poisoned and then died.

"Brother Duan, don't take action!"

Yan Dapang at his side noticed a slight change in Duan Gujin's expression and advised him.

"At least don't take action here! I know who that young man is; he is the son of the City Lord here!"

Then, Yan Dapang secretly relayed the information to Duan Gujin through mind transmission.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin immediately calmed down.

"Waiter, come here, take this man's body to the wild hills outside! Here are one hundred taels of Jiuzhou coins, take it! Do as I said, or suffer the consequences. If anyone asks you how this person died, just tell them that he was killed by the City Lord's son, Yan Shiping, that'll suffice!"

The young man declared with an unchanged expression.

"Understood!"

The waiter of the restaurant dared not even breathe heavily in front of the young man. He quickly called a few people to carry the body away with him. Then, he had the ground cleaned up, and erected a sign where the young man's body had fallen, informing others that the spot was being sanitized and temporarily closed to the public.

"How much do you know about that person?"

Duan Gujin inquired of Yan Dapang through a secret mind transmission.

"I know he deserves death, but I lack the power to deal with him!"

Yan Dapang replied.

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin nodded slightly; he understood that Yan Dapang had many relatives in the area. If he went to confront the murderous young man and his identity was exposed, his entire family could suffer a catastrophic disaster.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath and turned his attention to the young man named Yan Shiping. He saw that the man's cultivation was only at the Martial Emperor First Level, yet the four guards by his side were all Ninth Level Martial Emperors.

The power of the young man who had been killed was roughly at the level of a Martial Sect; he was no match for Yan Shiping.

From the Martial Emperor aura that Yan Shiping had previously emitted, Duan Gujin judged that the foundation was extremely shaky, likely built upon a pile of spiritual pills.

Despite the fact that Yan Shiping's strength was bolstered by spiritual pills, the combat power he could unleash was still far stronger than that of the deceased young man.

Duan Gujin understood that it was not that he couldn't deal with Yan Shiping; it was merely that he did not wish to implicate Yan Dapang here.

He pondered for a moment and suddenly posed a question.

"He has no familial ties with you, does he?"

"I'm just a distant relative of his, not the close kind! What you want to do with him has nothing to do with me!" Yan Dapang replied through a secret mind transmission.
