Chapter 282 Ji Family's Xuanbao Pavilion: Murder and Robbery [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Upon hearing Icefire Master's words, Ji Haoyuan's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

indeed.

Judging from what they see now, the Ji family is indeed developing very well.

The entire family has not only improved its overall strength, but also seen a leap in the number of its various businesses.

It's unclear whether the family has provided any specific guidance or training for the character of its younger members during this process.

Based on his current observations.

With the current strength of the Ji family, it would be completely insufficient to support the current scale of the family's industries without the support of this newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Let's go, senior sister, let's take another look ahead."

Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, Ji Haoyuan smiled and said something to Ice and Fire Master.

In any case, the fact that the family has achieved its current status is something to be gratified and happy about.

boom!
However, before the two could walk a long way, they heard a loud roar coming from outside Maple Leaf Market.

Immediately afterwards, strong battle fluctuations emanated from the area.

The two immediately exchanged a glance.

Ji Haoyuan frowned slightly.

Especially when he heard the sounds coming from outside the market, his face immediately darkened.

"Who exactly are you people?"

Do you even know where you are? How dare you openly attack my grandfather and me here! Aren't you afraid of the Ji family's law enforcement team in the market?

Outside the market town.

An elderly man, who appeared to be around sixty years old, was struggling to fend off an attack from three masked monks.

The old man's cultivation level was at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

But the three masked cultivators who suddenly appeared opposite him were all at least at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The one with the highest cultivation level even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Most importantly, beside the sixty-year-old man was a girl dressed in a green dress, who looked to be around eighteen years old.

This girl's cultivation level is only at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

At this moment, she was facing attacks from the three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators and had little power to defend herself.

If it weren't for her grandfather, a man in his sixties, protecting her from the three men's attack, she would probably be a corpse by now.

"Hand over your storage bags, and we'll leave now."

Otherwise, old man, you and your granddaughter will all be staying here today!

The leader, a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, spoke in a cold voice.

Upon hearing his words, a sudden realization flashed through the mind of the sixty-year-old man.

Having lived to his age, he actually had a vague intuition about many things.

At this moment, a look of grief and indignation involuntarily appeared on his face, and he angrily said:
"You are from the Ji family's Xuanbao Pavilion!"
You...you guys...how could you...!"

The Xuanbao Pavilion mentioned by the old man is one of the Ji family's properties in Maple Leaf Market.

Besides selling various magical artifacts, elixirs, and talismans, they also collect various precious materials from cultivators, as well as materials from demonic beasts.

Not long ago.

He and his granddaughter had indeed visited the Xuanbao Pavilion.

They originally intended to sell an unknown treasure left by their ancestors to the Xuanbao Pavilion, so that they could use it to purchase some cultivation resources for their granddaughter.

However, the people from Xuanbao Pavilion said that the item they brought was not worth much money at all, and they were only willing to buy it at a very low price.

The old man was naturally unwilling to accept this.

Although he wasn't quite sure what exactly the item left by his ancestors was.

But the material of that thing was extremely hard.

Even with his cultivation level and strength, when he attacked that item with all his might, it remained completely undamaged. Under such circumstances, the old man naturally had no intention of selling what he possessed cheaply.

But the result was unexpected.

They had barely left Maple Leaf Market when they were attacked by the three people in front of them.

Coupled with what the other party had just said, the old man immediately understood.

The attack targeting the grandfather and grandson is very likely related to the Xuanbao Pavilion.

Thinking of this, the old man's heart sank lower and lower.

He truly never expected that such a murder and robbery would occur in Ji Family Market, a place with a consistently good reputation and public opinion.

Most importantly, this place is not far from Maple Leaf Market.

If the other party is truly determined to deal with them, the grandfather and grandson will have absolutely no chance of resisting.

"Act quickly and kill them!"

Upon hearing the words of the sixty-year-old man, the leading Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator's eyes flashed with an extremely cold killing intent.

Obviously.

The other party's guess was correct.

But precisely because of this, they are even more determined not to let the grandfather and grandson off the hook.

boom!
In that instant, the three men's attacks became even more ferocious.

Moreover, their main target was not the sixty-year-old man, but the girl in the green dress who was being protected behind him.

Puff!

Sudden.

A sinister and chilling black light suddenly pierced through the old man's right shoulder in the brief moment when he had just managed to block an attack for his granddaughter.

A bloody hole the size of a bowl was clearly visible on his right shoulder.

It almost tore his entire right arm off.

If it weren't for the fact that the old man slightly stepped aside at a crucial moment...

That dark glint just now didn't hit his right shoulder, but his heart.

"grandfather!"

The girl in the green dress immediately let out a gasp.

But by then, the old man had no time to respond to his granddaughter's calls.

Because at that moment, the attacks from the three opponents came again.

Moreover, this time, the three of them attacked much more fiercely.

Even before he was injured, the old man had already struggled to withstand the attacks of the three men.

He is currently injured and has almost no strength left to resist.

Just as a long sword-shaped magical weapon was approaching him, he instinctively tried to dodge, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly realized that the other party's target was not him at all, but the girl in the green dress standing next to him!

"Yan'er, get out of the way!"

At that moment, the old man's eyes widened in fury.

However, the girl in the green dress only then realized that the other party's target was actually her.

In the rush, her magical artifact was instantly blasted away.

The long sword-like magical weapon was about to slice across the slender neck of the girl in the green dress.

Just then, an invisible magical force struck the long sword artifact, sending it flying.

"who?"

This sudden turn of events immediately made the three cultivators who were attacking the grandfather and grandson tense up.

Their gazes immediately turned towards the direction of the magical power that had just appeared.
