What Gu Si threw toward the others present there were five small beads, the size of a ping pong ball. All four of the large family of this city had something that was their speciality.

The Hun family had an ancient inheritance for array formation arts and they were very strong in this field. The Shin family also had an ancient inheritance for talismans. So they were very big targets for regular cultivators and martial artists to join, as having a talisman would be very helpful in saving their life in a bad situation.

The Murong family also had ancient inheritance regarding alchemy, so they were the richest among all the four families. Finally the Gu family had an ancient inheritance for weapon refining and they were the biggest supplier of weapons in this city.

What Gu Si took out was such a weapon called the "Thunderfire Bead". These small beads had stored the power of fire and lighting and it could release that stored lightning and fire to make an attack equivalent to the attack of a master rank immortal cultivator. It was quite a dangerous and expensive item. Gu Si could get his hands in them only because he was a direct descendant of the Gu family.

As soon as Gao Shun saw the beads he immediately took out two talismans and used them one after another. His partner also took out two talismans and used them even though he was a bit slower than Gao Shun. A yellow protective barrier appeared around them followed by a green one next.

As for the beads that were thrown toward Elena's gang, Xiang Xiaofang calmly waved his left and all three of the beads immediately vanished. It looked like a magic trick. On the other side, fire and lightning started to bombard the barriers continuously but those barriers were too strong and were able to hold on. Finally when the bombardment ended, the yellow barrier had already vanished but the green was still there even though it was filled with cracks.

The talismans that they had used were called "Earth Protection Talisman" and "Tree Guard Talisman". They were quite well known talismans that had a quick deployment and good defence. They were two of the best talismans to defend against sudden attacks.

Seeing that his Trump Card was not able to deal with any of them Gu Si suddenly felt despair. Then he remembered the scene of Xiang Xiaofang easily neutralizing the beads and realised that this beggar was quite strong. With that a plan appeared in his mind to save himself.

"Bother Xiang. I'm sorry for suddenly attacking you. I was sure that you will be able to block that attack easily and I needed to take these two by surprise. Hehe."

Gu Si then smiled a very insincere smile and continued with his bullshit.

"Now that they have used up the Earth Protection Talisman and the Tree Guard Talisman, it would be easier for you to defeat them. Let's go, brother Xiang. I have tricks up my sleeve. Let's first defeat them then we can continue with our good time."

Saying so without waiting for Xiang Xiaofang's reply Gu Si took out an intricately designed dagger. It was also an item of great value that can be used as a super powerful Trump Card. But before he could take any action with it, an incredibly cold voice sounded -

"Gu Si, who said that you can order me around. And how dare you lie to me. Do you think I will not kill you with one slap ?"

Hearing those words, Gu Si turned around with a stiff smile and said with feigned calmness -

"I'm someone who has helped you when you were at your lowest. Should you not repay me for that ? That will make you an ungrateful person and the great goddess will hate you for it."

Hearing that a faint frown appeared in Xiang Xiaofang's face. As a resident of the region controlled by the high goddess Tiandi, he was a fervent believer of the goddess. So doing anything that would make the goddess hate him was not something he was capable of doing.

Seeing that Elena could not help but intervened. She could not just sit silently when a low life was trying to use one of her good friends for his selfish reason.

"I don't believe you have any right in telling how the goddess would feel about something. You're not qualified enough. Don't blaspheme the name of the goddess Tiandi or you will receive divine punishment."

Many people present inside the tavern were listening to their conversion but did not intervene as they did not have any intention to go against any of the large four families. But as now one of them had basically insulted their beloved and kind goddess, they no longer kept quiet and berated him harshly.

At this moment, Xiang Xiaofang also came back to his senses and sneered -

"If you can even call throwing out a few pieces of silver to be help. You were just trying to satisfy yourself and nothing else. Still it did help me quite a bit at that time and I intended to save your life at first, but when you attack me with the intention to kill me, I no longer owe you anything."

Hearing that a savage look appeared on Gu Si's face and he immediately attacked Xiang Xiaofang with the decorated dagger.

"DIE, you ungrateful bastard !!!"

The blade of the dagger lit up in a eerie green light but instead of attacking Xiang Xiaofang he aimed his attack toward Elena or rather toward Lin Yun.

After all this time, he would be a fool to not understand that Xiang Xiaofang was incredibly strong. So even with his powerful dagger, his chance of hurting him was not very high.

So he decided to take hostage of the person who looked to be the weakest, and in his inexperienced eyes, he judged the only female to be the weakest. And that's how he made the biggest mistake of his whole life.

Suddenly a divine presence filled the whole city and the sky above the city got covered in pitch black clouds in no time. Then immediately a bolt of lightning fell from the clouds, penetrated the rooftop of the tavern and landed on Gu Si. His physical body instantly evaporated and his soul was captured and taken to the divine realm.

All of these happened in the blink of an eye. Even before the people present here could think about what was happening, it all had already finished. Then after realising what actually had happened, they all immediately kneeled on the ground and started to pray to their great goddess Tiandi.

Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang were no exception and only Elena was currently standing awkwardly in the whole tavern. But as no one was paying attention to her at this moment, he did not get scolded for not praying to the goddess. Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang had noticed Elena not kneeling and praying, but they thought that she was a Demigod for a different god, it was fine for her to not kneel.

Only after an hour or two did everyone manage to calm down. The local temples started to perform rituals in order to appease the anger of the goddess. The Gu family was heavily criticised as their descendant was responsible for angering the goddess, but when the temple of the goddess herself announced that the goddess would not blame the family, the complaints died down.

In the meantime, Elena did not waste any time and immediately left the city. Staying there for any longer would be problematic and headache inducing. Lin Yan and Xiang Xiaofang also understood this and they also packed up quickly. Then they left the Golden Basin city way before they had planned to.

Elena and the gang were not sure where to go next. They were planning to think about it calmly and slowly while staying in the Golden Basin city, but as now their plan was foiled, they had to think of something while being on the road.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, Elena decided to go to the Wind Clover City which was the biggest city close to the Golden Basin city. They needed a small break before starting their journey once more. So they decided to spend a week or so in the Wind Clover City before starting the final phase of their journey targeting the national capital.

With that decided, they quickly went toward the north eastern direction, where the Wind Clover City was located. It would take them only 1 days to reach that city in full speed but as Elena did not plan to make haste, they planned to reach the city within three days at the latest.

This Wind Clover City was famous for its beautiful natural scenery and tastiest vegetables, so Elena was very excited to try them for herself. So, she was looking forward to going to the Wind Clover City.
