Longevity Hacker: When Every Curse Becomes a Blessing

Chapter 21 – Midnight Black Hand Zhang Laosan!

Fake Magical Treasure!

In the entire Heavenly Demon Sect, apart from a few Foundation Establishment cultivators with significant backgrounds, who else is qualified to possess such treasures?

Having a fake magical treasure and still using a decoy.

So cunning!

"I'm in need of money, and you came to provoke me. I really couldn't resist."

Ye Bufan sighed softly.

He glanced around.

This place was carefully chosen by him, and fortunately, no one was around, so he acted immediately.

Although his cultivation level was only at the second level of Foundation Establishment, his strength was comparable to the seventh level. Dealing with Li Kui, who was at the sixth level, was no problem.

"Zhou Wangchen's puppet is really useful, combined with my Creature Creation Technique, it's seamless."

Ye Bufan put away the puppet that looked just like him.

After a moment of hesitation, his eyes flickered slightly as he thoroughly searched Li Kui for anything valuable, then with a crack, broke his legs and retrieved the Immortal Binding Rope.

"Consider this a lesson."

Ye Bufan shook his head, not out of mercy.

First, he had no deep-seated hatred with the other party.

Second, after joining the Heavenly Demon Sect, he learned that every disciple had a soul tablet, and if they died, it would be known.

Moreover, some direct descendants of the elders had a Blood Curse placed on them. If someone killed them, the curse would erupt and imprint a blood curse mark on the killer's soul.

Like a beacon in the night, no disguise would work.

As a follower of Liu Wangchuan, Li Kui definitely had this on him.

Being naturally cautious, Ye Bufan disliked putting himself in danger. It wasn't worth it to provoke someone like Liu Wangchuan over Li Kui.

Once everything was settled, he flicked his sleeves, using malicious energy to clear his aura.

Still not at ease, he scattered a large amount of pungent powder.

After doing so, he quickly left the scene.

On the way, he continuously cleared traces of his aura.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "p𝑎wread.com".

Finally, after circling outside the Heavenly Demon Sect several times to ensure no one noticed, he returned to the first courtyard of Demon Sword Peak.

Shortly after Ye Bufan left, a young couple sneaked into the grove, ready to do something thrilling.

Outdoor battles were not only loved by mortals but were also a favorite among many cultivators.

In the midst of their passionate encounter, they suddenly noticed a hideous-looking man lying on the ground not far away.

"Ugh! Such a turn-off!"

The female cultivator blushed and spat upon seeing the man.

Her partner, however, turned pale upon recognizing the man's face.

"It's Li Kui! He was actually robbed! Let's go!"

With that, they quickly withdrew and left with their partner in a hurry.

Their footsteps were loud, waking Li Kui, who was lying in the woods.

He felt intense pain in his legs and a chilling cold all over his body.

Opening his eyes, he let out a miserable howl.

Except for his underwear, all his clothes had been stripped off.

"My Fire-Resistant Treasure Robe!"

"My Storage Bag! Ahhh! Damn you!"

Li Kui roared to the sky, his heart bleeding.

Years of accumulated wealth, worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, gone overnight!

And his legs were broken!

It would take months to heal.

...

The next morning.

In a secret chamber on Saint-Demon Peak, Li Kui lay on a bed, his legs already bandaged.

"The investigation results are out. The person who attacked you went to the 'Ten Thousand Treasures Tower' in the market. The shopkeeper said he was called Zhang San."

"But I checked the Foundation Establishment roster in the sect, and there's no such person. It must be a fake name."

"And no one in the entire Heavenly Demon Sect has mastered the Demon Dragon Technique to Great Perfection. Also, the rope that bound you, no one uses such a fake magical treasure. These clues are useless."

A pale, sickly young man in black frowned deeply.

He had carefully searched the battle site for traces of the attacker.

But the person was extremely cautious.

There were no traces at the scene, not even a scent, which was covered by some unknown powder.

Trying to investigate?

Extremely difficult.

"Brother, no matter what, we must capture him and avenge me!"

Li Kui's eyes were bloodshot, his words squeezed through gritted teeth.

Having roamed the demonic path for years, he was always the one robbing others. When had he ever been robbed?

Now, forget about helping his brother reach the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

His own future hopes of Core Formation were drastically diminished!

This grudge was too great!

"Don't worry, brother. I'll have friends in the sect investigate further."

Yu Cheng's eyes flashed coldly.

His brother being humiliated like this, as a younger brother, he naturally had to act.

"Also, I hope brother will inform Liu Wangchuan. With his abilities, he should be able to find some clues."

Yu Cheng suggested.

Liu Wangchuan was a candidate for the Saint position, a direct disciple of the sect leader, highly esteemed in the Heavenly Demon Sect, with great influence.

Not only did he have many followers, but even some elders showed him favor.

Soon, many late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Sect were on the move, searching everywhere.

Eventually, one of Liu Wangchuan's subordinates obtained a clue from a fourth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator.

A jade bottle.

Inside the bottle was the aura of Zhang San refined by this cultivator.

There were no good people in the Heavenly Demon Sect. Ever since Ye Bufan spent a fortune buying a pile of talisman paper from the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower, he had been targeted.

The cultivator captured the aura, intending to use it to track and rob.

Unfortunately, before he could track, the person disappeared after leaving the market.

Ran too fast.

Yu Cheng and Li Kui were overjoyed upon obtaining the jade bottle.

As long as they had the aura, they could find the real person!

However, to their astonishment, searching the entire Heavenly Demon Sect with the aura yielded nothing!

This could only mean one thing.

The aura was fake!

"A cultivator, above the sixth level of Foundation Establishment! So cautious that even their aura could be faked?"

Even Yu Cheng couldn't help but curse.

In all his years, he had never seen someone so cautious.

How afraid of death must they be?

Eventually, the trail went cold, and Yu Cheng had no choice but to give up.

...

"Giggle, Master, you wouldn't believe it. The whole sect is talking about it. That hated Li Kui got robbed, had his legs broken, and even his clothes were stripped."

In the first courtyard, Lv Luo chattered to Ye Bufan about the recent gossip, laughing so hard she couldn't close her legs.

Li Kui was notorious, and many fellow disciples were delighted at his misfortune, praising Zhang San for ridding them of a menace.

At the same time, many disciples were shocked.

Despite Li Kui being at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment and possessing several top-tier magical instruments, someone managed to severely injure him and break his legs in such a short time.

This person must be a formidable figure in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Everyone speculated about the person's identity.

Unfortunately, they couldn't figure it out, and the disciples could only nickname the person "Midnight Black Hand Zhang San."

"Is that so? How interesting."

Ye Bufan feigned surprise, while internally pondering. Li Kui's two storage bags had been sealed for two days, and now there was no fluctuation at all.

In the cultivation world, many cultivators would place subtle marks on small items inside their storage bags, making them hard to detect. Even if the bag was stolen, they could use the mark to track it.

Ye Bufan, being meticulous, wouldn't give the other party the slightest chance.

After two days, he confirmed there were no marks; otherwise, the storage bags would have reacted by now.

"I heard Li Kui was stripped of his clothes, and everyone's saying Midnight Black Hand Zhang San might have some kind of fetish."

Lv Luo teased, her face full of gossip.

Ye Bufan: "..."

"My first courtyard feels a bit dirty. Clean it inside and out. I'm going into seclusion to cultivate."

Ye Bufan said calmly, turning to enter the secret chamber.

Leaving behind a pouting Lv Luo.

Inside the chamber, Ye Bufan took a deep breath and eagerly opened the two storage bags.

The time for harvest had arrived!
