　　“Shua！”
　　Xu Taiping ignored these people and continued to take a step forward, his figure rushing to Mr. Yashan like a strong wind breathing.
　　“Boom！”
　　Just as Mr. Yashan was about to become invisible again, Xu Taiping hit him hard on the chest with a bull’s horn avalanche.
　　“Bang！”
　　A huge vibration sound accompanied by the shattering of bones rang out.
　　Mr. Yashan, who had just stood up, was directly sent flying by this punch and hit the courtyard wall heavily.
However, the price for Xu Taiping to swing this punch regardless of everything was that several figures who had turned over from the wall surrounded him and he had no way to get out.
　　“Kill, kill this little thief and let him know the consequences of offending our Yunlou Club！”
　　After swallowing a few pills, Mr. Yashan, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, pointed at Xu Taiping and roared furiously.
　　Actually, even if he didn’t say it, the several people who had already surrounded Xu Taiping had all started to take action.
　　For a while, the sword qi and saber qi crisscrossed in the small courtyard.
　　If Xu Taiping was really successful in being gang-raped by them, I’m afraid it wouldn’t take long before he would turn into a mass of rotten meat.
　　However, what made Mr. Yashan very surprised was that Xu Taiping didn’t run away or resist, but took a deep breath and then made a gesture of snapping his fingers.
　　“Click！”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was about to be chopped by the chaotic knives, a clear snapping sound rang out in the small courtyard.
　　At first, Mr. Yashan still had a confused look on his face, but soon, the confusion in his pupils turned into horror.
　　“Boom！”
　　With a harsh air explosion sound, the astral wind like a flying blade burst open from all around Xu Taiping’s body, and in just an instant, the Westerners who were besieging him were strangled into a mass of rotten flesh.
　　For a while, the blood mist filled the sky.
　　And what Xu Taiping had just used was the second finger of the Cangluan Ring – Crushing the Mountain.
　　“Impossible, this is impossible…”
　　Yashan had an incredulous look on his face and actually forgot to escape for a while. When he reacted, Xu Taiping had already come to him with a bloody knife in his hand.
　　“No…”
　　“Bang！”
　　Before Mr. Yashan could finish speaking, Xu Taiping punched him in the cheek, smashing him and the wall together.
　　After the previous fight, Xu Taiping was already able to confirm that Mr. Yashan’s cultivation was at most the Open Door Realm, and he didn’t even reach the small success of the Open Door Realm.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t fear such a cultivation-level casual cultivator at all.
　　The only thing he had to watch out for was his treasure that could make him invisible. However, seeing that he didn’t use it again for a long time, Xu Taiping guessed that the treasure should also have a limit on the number of uses or time.
　　”Daoist friend, spare my life, spare my life. It’s my fault in this matter. Please forgive me！”
　　Mr. Yashan had already broken many bones in his body, and his treasures couldn’t be used anymore. He had reached the end of his rope and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
　　”Speak, how did your Cloud Tower Association notice me？”
　　Xu Taiping stood in front of that Mr. Yashan.
　　”This, there is no special reason…”
　　”Bang！”
　　Just as Mr. Yashan was about to prevaricate, he didn’t expect to be kicked down by Xu Tai.
　　”If you don’t tell the truth, next time I’ll use a knife.”
　　Xu Taiping took a step forward and pointed the knife in his hand at that Mr. Yashan and said.
　　”Daoist friend, don’t be impulsive. I, I’ll say, I’ll say！”
　　Mr. Yashan waved his hands repeatedly.
　　Xu Taiping glared at him.
“It’s like this. A few days ago, we went to the West Wind Pavilion. A disciple of the West Wind Pavilion who joined our Cloud Tower Association revealed to me that there is an outer sect disciple in the Green Bamboo Residence. This year, he planted a lot of precious medicinal materials in the garden. When they mature, they can sell at least one or two thousand merit coins. I was overcome by greed for a while…
　　The voice of that Mr. Yashan became smaller and smaller.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping secretly frowned and thought in his heart：
“It was actually the people from the West Wind Pavilion who revealed the information about buying seeds. Could it be those people who were lectured by Ninth Uncle last time?
He immediately thought of those several who were scolded by the Ninth Uncle that day.
　　However, he still decided to keep this matter in his heart and first ask about some other information.
　　“So inviting me here is your intention, not that of the Yunlou Association？”
　　Xu Taiping then asked.
　　“It is indeed the villain’s own intention. However, the villain is the leader of the Yunlou Association in this area, and can still make decisions about such small matters.”
　　When talking about himself being a small leader of the Yunlou Association, Mr. Yashan suddenly increased his volume, obviously threatening Xu Taiping.
　　“What treasure did you use to become invisible earlier？ Hand it over.”
　　Xu Taiping asked again.
　　“This…”
　　Mr. Yashan was obviously reluctant to hand over that treasure.
　　“Swish！”
　　Xu Taiping slashed with a knife from a distance.
　　“Fellow Daoist, don’t be angry. This treasure is called the Invisibility Grass. Holding it in the palm of your hand can make you invisible. However, it can only be used three times a day, and each time only for ten breaths.”
　　Mr. Yashan was a little reluctant to hand over that piece of green grass leaf.
Xu Taiping thought in his heart that it was indeed so, and then took the leaf.
　　Xu Taiping nodded and then asked again：
　　“If I join the Yunlou Association now, what are the benefits？”
　　He asked casually as if nothing had happened.
　　Upon hearing this, Mr. Yashan’s face immediately lit up with joy, because if Xu Taiping wanted to join the Yunlou Association, he would definitely have something to ask of him.
　　“Fellow Daoist, I can assure you that as long as you join the Yunlou Association…”
　　“Swish！”
　　Just as Mr. Yashan let down his guard, Xu Taiping channeled his true qi and slashed down with a knife.
　　“If you weren’t a small leader of the Yunlou Association, I might have considered sparing your life.”
　　He　muttered　expressionlessly.
　　After experiencing the matters of the changgui and the tiger demon, Xu Taiping had already understood that to survive in this cultivation world, one couldn’t be too soft-hearted. One’s own safety was always the first priority.
　　The tragic case of Liu Qingmei was a vivid example.
　　“Well-handled.　Good,　good.”
　　The illusory shadow of the soul of Fairy Lingyue floated out of the gourd at this time.
　　This time, except for the first time she spoke, she was in a state of watching the show throughout the whole process, so she was very satisfied with the current result.
　　“A few Golden Bell Talismans were wasted.”
　　Xu Taiping, on the other hand, was a little regretful. He only felt that if he had handled it better, perhaps those few Golden Bell Talismans wouldn’t have been wasted.
　　……
　　Next.
　　According to the guidance of Fairy Lingyue, Xu Taiping cleaned up the traces around the small courtyard, and then put all the corpses, including that of Mr. Yashan, into the gourd.
He couldn’t leave any handle for the Xifeng Pavilion and the Yunlou Association. He had to make sure that even if these people knew it was him who did it, they couldn’t produce any evidence.
　　After handling the scene, he sorted out the things he got from these people again.
　　He got a total of three Fire Arrow Talismans, two Golden Bell Talismans, and six hundred merit coins.
　　“This is much more cost-effective than growing medicinal herbs.”
　　Xu Taiping looked at the extra bag of merit coins and said jokingly.
　　“But the risk is also a hundred times that of growing medicinal herbs.”
　　Fearful that Xu Taiping would take the wrong path, Fairy Lingyue quickly reminded him.
　　“Don’t worry, Sister Lingyue, I know. I don’t like this kind of thing either.”
　　Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile.
　　Fairy Lingyue nodded, and then pointed to the Fire Gourd around Xu Taiping’s waist and said：
　　“Next, you can focus on your cultivation with peace of mind until the big competition two years later.”
　　……
　　In the dead of night the next day after returning to Green Bamboo Residence.
　　“Bang！”
　　Xu Taiping opened the Fire Gourd and carefully poured out a small cup of the Gentian Wine that had been soaked for a day.
　　“Sister Lingyue, then I’ll… drink it？”
　　He raised the cup and looked at Fairy Lingyue in front of him with some hesitation.
　　Tonight he was going to test the effect of this Gentian Wine.
