Chapter 381
This old man, though a rogue cultivator from Taihu, made his living by throwing trouble onto others.
According to his own account, he had discovered this nest of Iceflame Butterflies inside an icy rift ravine. Greed took hold of him, and he used a special secret technique to lure these strange insects into attacking cultivators who were training on the ice plains.
His targets were usually lone individuals. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it failed. Whenever he realized the situation was turning against him, he would take out the Ice Phoenix Legacy Token to numb the other party’s vigilance, then seize the chance to flee.
After the old man finished confessing everything in full detail, he saw Wang Yu looking at him with a gaze filled with pity. His heart jolted, only to hear Wang Yu say:
“I used to think Taihu was a blessed land for cultivators. But now it seems that even with your cultivation, you still have to do things this risky?”
It was not that Wang Yu looked down on those who made their fortune through robbery.
That line of work was simply like that. High risk, high reward. If you succeeded, you gained everything the other party owned. Wang Yu himself had done plenty of it. The problem was that this old man was already at the Nascent Soul realm, yet he was still willing to gamble with his life.
Aside from being addicted to it, there was only one other explanation.
He had no other way out.
