With the Profound Ice Sword in hand, Wang Junze naturally had no interest in weapons; his attention was completely focused on treasures for protection and life-saving.

It took Wang Junze less than a quarter of an hour to lock onto his targets.

Two treasures caught Wang Junze's attention: one was a cyan lotus called Qinglian. Once activated, it would form a cyan lotus around him for protection, able to withstand any attack below the Path-Entering level. Each activation can last for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, after which it needs to absorb a Spirit Stone to replenish its power, recharging in about three days.

The other was a purple Profound Pearl, named the Profound Spirit Pearl, also a protection treasure, capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a Path-Entering Powerhouse. However, it was a one-time consumable and would be destroyed upon activation.

After a brief consideration, Wang Junze chose the Profound Spirit Pearl.

To him, strong enemies below the Path-Entering level were not much of a threat, and having an extra protective treasure was merely icing on the cake. However, the Profound Spirit Pearl's ability to withstand an attack from a Path-Entering Powerhouse could be life-saving in critical moments.

After taking the Profound Spirit Pearl, Wang Junze, guided by the officials of the Judgment Department, went to another Treasure Vault and selected three Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that could refine the Divine Soul, then left directly.

Wang Junze was still in the Void Realm, and the key to breaking through to Divine Travel was to refine the Divine Soul. Although these three Heavenly and Earthly Treasures weren't considered too precious, they could greatly shorten his cultivation time, undoubtedly making them the most suitable for him.

After leaving the Treasure Vault, Wang Junze didn't waste any time and returned directly to his residence to begin refining these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, condensing his Divine Soul.

Time passed quickly, and two days later, Wang Junze received another note from Ni Gang.

Vermilion Bird Avenue.

These simple four words on the note, yet Wang Junze understood clearly that the demon cultivator had appeared.

This time, Wang Junze did not inform Wang Xin or Peng Ru and left the Judgment Department by himself.

Soon, Wang Junze arrived at Vermilion Bird Avenue.

This was one of the most bustling areas of the Capital City, filled with stalls and vendors, with pedestrians bustling about in endless streams. With just one look, Wang Junze couldn't help but frown.

"Young master, this pearl flower is very beautiful. Buy one for your wife."

A vendor left his stall and bustled up alongside Wang Junze, eagerly selling his wares.

Without waiting for Wang Junze to respond, the vendor whispered in a voice only Wang Junze could hear, "The seventh shop on the left, the middle-aged man in black drinking tea at the door, that's the person you're looking for."

A slight moment of surprise, and Wang Junze realized the vendor was also from the Cyan Robe Gang.

Only actual ordinary people could keep watch without arousing suspicion from these highly vigilant demon cultivator experts. Just from this, Wang Junze realized much more clearly the value of the Cyan Robe Gang.

Keeping his expression unchanged, Wang Junze acted as if he hadn't heard the vendor and strolled leisurely forward.

He'd found his target, but how to make a move was the new problem.

There were simply too many citizens around, and if the opponent reacted and resisted even slightly, many innocent people would be caught up, and Wang Junze wasn't a demon cultivator and couldn't ignore human lives.

After all, the opponent was a Void realm expert; it's hard to say what tricks he might have; it's not something that can be just killed by saying so, not to mention Wang Junze's purpose wasn't even to kill, but to capture the opponent and force the truth, which increased the difficulty.

After a brief consideration, Wang Junze swaggered over to the table next to the demon cultivator.

"Boss, a bowl of tea!"

While speaking, Wang Junze glanced slantwise around and, with an imperious gesture, pointed at the people at the table, impatiently flinging out a few Spirit Stones and scolded, "Give up the table, how can this young master sit with such lowly people, take the Spirit Stones and quickly get lost!"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, the commoners at the table first glared angrily, ready to curse, but upon seeing the Spirit Stones on the table, their faces immediately lit up with joy.

How could this be Spirit Stone!

This roadside stall's tea costs only a few coins?

Wang Junze had deliberately counted the exact number of Spirit Stones, just enough for each person at the table to have one. What hesitation could there be? With hasty hands, they divided the Spirit Stones cleanly and quickly vacated the spot. Even some responsive ones delightedly thanked the young master for his reward.

Sitting down grandly at the table, Wang Junze looked with disdain at the messy tea bowls and teapot on the table and shouted once again, "Where's the waiter? Quickly clean up, it's filthy! If I weren't thirsty, who would come to this wretched place."

"Right, bring your best tea, don't try to fool me!"

"Alright, you wait, the tea is coming right up!"

When one has money, one becomes the master. Wang Junze's demeanor was obviously the way of an extravagant playboy. Though annoying, his tips wouldn't be stingy.

The runner efficiently tidied the table and turned to fetch the tea.

The demon cultivator beside merely glanced at Wang Junze, paying him no mind.

In the Capital City, such profligate sons were too common and nothing out of the ordinary. Additionally, he was confident in concealing his aura, certain no one would see through it, and naturally didn't expect Wang Junze was approaching him.

However, it was this one casual glance that gave Wang Junze the excuse he needed.

"What are you looking at, you pauper?"

With all contempt, Wang Junze directly cursed at the opponent, "Jealous, are you? Say a few auspicious words, and this young master might reward you with some Spirit Stones!"

"..."

The demon cultivator's face darkened with anger at these words but, unwilling to expose his identity, he couldn't teach Wang Junze a lesson and had to swallow his anger.

"What are you looking at? Got your dog eyes on this young master, looking for a fight?"

With a bang on the table, Wang Junze suddenly stood up, pointing at the demon cultivator and cursing.

With Wang Junze causing such a scene, the commoners having tea around them instinctively stood up and backed away.

Wrong!

In an instant, the demon cultivator sharply realized that something was wrong; the provocations were simply too deliberate.

However... it was too late!

Wang Junze knew full well he couldn't deceive the opponent for long, and such opportunities were fleeting, so he wouldn't waste them.

In the moment the commoners backed away, his sword was already in motion.

Cloud Dragon's Claw!

Golden Sword Aura suddenly erupted; this slash was swift to the extreme; the terrifying Sword Intent directly enveloped the opponent!

Boom!

In the face of a life-and-death crisis, the demon cultivator was utterly shocked and dared not conceal anything any longer. His palm grasped a black skull, and at the same time, the surging Demonic Qi rapidly gathered, blocking the Sword Edge!
