The Li Family's old man and the Guardian Elder of the Treasure Tower were equally matched in strength. Fighting would definitely not produce a winner quickly, and even if one side won, it would be a narrow victory, hardly necessary.
So after exchanging a few blows, both sides stopped. The Li Family obediently paid reparations; the Treasure Tower was everywhere, while the Li Family only held one small domain, unable to afford offending them.
Once the strong figures from the Treasure Tower arrived, the Li Family would surely be doomed.
Recently, through various means, they recouped some losses from others, but it was a huge blow, and recovery would not be quick.
The only good news was that the four families in the same city also suffered similar fates, which was a relief for them.
They had worked hard for so many years and naturally didn't want to be set back to square one.
Now that everyone had fallen, it felt somewhat justified.
However, they definitely wouldn't let go of Tang Feng, even though it was infuriating that the Treasure Tower protected their guests. If the transaction amount exceeded one billion Void Essence Crystals, guests would be unconditionally protected.
Unless they encountered a force the Treasure Tower couldn't resist, and of course, the Five Great Families in this city clearly didn't have such qualifications.
Therefore, at this time, the Li Family wouldn't really confront the elders of the Treasure Tower.
As for Tang Feng personally, of course, he wouldn't give up so easily. As soon as the opponent left the city, they could make a move.
Not only did they want to take action, but they also informed the other four families, asking them to dispatch experts to keep an eye on Tang Feng—losing such a treasure was too big a loss, happening on someone else's territory. Now on their territory, why should they be afraid of Tang Feng?
In fact, they didn't know Tang Feng was just a Cultivator at the Peak of the Creation Realm.
For them, at the Supreme Divine Realm, he was basically a being they could easily crush, but the power released by the opponent still puzzled them.
Tang Feng left the Treasure Tower. In the city, he surely didn't feel completely safe, considering he had offended more than one family.
Thinking about it, he was quite ruthless, emptying people's thousands of years of stockpile, like digging up ancestral graves.
So once Tang Feng left the range of the Treasure Tower's protection, the opponents would certainly make a move.
He had long prepared for this. As soon as he entered the inn, he transmitted himself to the city's teleportation hall.
He needed to leave from there.
Of course, he knew people were definitely stationed there, but Tang Feng changed his identity so the opponents couldn't recognize him, watching helplessly as Tang Feng teleported with the crowd to another city.
Divine Feather City.
It was said the City Lord was a formidable Primordial God Realm expert.
Ranking among the top hundred cities in the Void Origin Realm was no easy feat.
A city like this controlled at least dozens of Void Element Crystal Mines, had at least a hundred thousand city soldiers, and more than a hundred Supreme Divine Realm experts.
Tang Feng walked out of the teleportation hall and saw the endless buildings, including high-rises, but more were manors.
All were ancient style buildings, with streets paved in jade bricks, appearing quite upscale.
No wonder teleportation costs reached over ten thousand Void Essence Crystals.
Tang Feng stood at the doorway for a while, surrounded by an endless stream of cultivators passing by, many with expressions of awe, excitement, and curiosity.
Tang Feng was used to it, but seeing such a massive complete city was still a first for him; he had previously seen city ruins at the Supreme God Relics, so it was alright.
Walking on the streets, Tang Feng suddenly felt a bit of leisure; since he was here, he'd take a look around, originally planning to visit casually, no need to be so anxious.
So whenever Tang Feng saw unexplored items he'd enter the shop to take a look.
Things he liked, he'd buy.
There were still many Strange Objects, artworks, especially in some general stores, Tang Feng couldn't resist going in to look.
Typically, some Strange Objects were hidden within them, unnoticed by others.
He was different, with a powerful Soul and strong Divine Sense, he could detect some deep waves. It was originally him who discovered the anomaly within the Dragon Egg Fossil.
Indeed, such stores were very popular because general treasures sold within standard shops were priced too high, only viewable from a distance, out of most people's reach.
So many would try their luck.
Moreover, not all Strange Objects were fakes. Some were from Secret Realms, Grotto Heavens, or relic interiors brought out by cultivators who saw no value but could sell for a price, thus selling them to the Curiosity Shop, resulting in no less than a thousand of such shops within the city.
Acquisitions were cheap, selling prices varied from two to a hundred times higher.
Of course, this profit was nothing compared to what large Curiosity Stores could earn from selling just one item.
After entering, Tang Feng didn't browse but used Soul sensing; whatever elicited a reaction, he picked it up.
Having circled around, Tang Feng placed the items on the counterboard, "Manager, calculate the total please."
"Good sir, please wait for a moment." Seeing Tang Feng purchasing more than twenty items with a smile, he was the month's biggest buyer, naturally wanting to make a real sale.
"Twenty thousand Void Essence Crystals for you."
"Two thousand," Tang Feng replied, smiling.
"Ah, that's impossible, too low." The manager was stunned upon hearing this; he thought Tang Feng wouldn't haggle and didn't expect such a severe cut, reducing the price tenfold, and was clearly anxious.
"Then forget it." Tang Feng turned to leave without any reluctance.
The manager was dumbfounded, wondering what was happening; it was completely different from his imagined scenario. As Tang Feng left the shop, he finally reacted, hurriedly chasing after him.
"Sir, I'll sell to you."
Tang Feng paused slightly, turned around, "Manager, thank you."
Tang Feng paid two thousand Void Origin Realm Crystals before leaving; the manager still smiled since those items' costs were only about two hundred Void Essence Crystals, earning tenfold.
Pity; had he known, he'd set the price higher, and the young man might have given a bit more.
This is a businessman, never satisfied.
Only when money is in hand can they be truly at ease.
Tang Feng walked along, picking up treasures until nightfall, then checked into a rather luxurious inn within the city.
In his room, he restored each item to its original form. One item astonished Tang Feng greatly, bearing the ancient inscription, called the Positioning Axis.
When fused into the Dantian, the Positioning Axis's information made Tang Feng uncontrollably tremble.
My goodness, it's an Ancient Artifact.
And a complete super Ancient Artifact.
Aside from the unclear positions outside the Void Origin Realm, everything else was crystal clear. With a single thought, Tang Feng also saw Earth among them.
This was too unexpected.
Why not give it a try!
He really wanted to take a look back.
Tang Feng then inputted the date: July 2018, Nandu City.
Buzz!
The Positioning Axis began to spin, and then, a light wheel appeared before Tang Feng.
He could clearly see the situation in Nandu City, it was still before the mutation.
Seeing the continuous traffic flow, skyscrapers, sea ships shuttling back and forth, Tang Feng's thoughts drifted back to the rebirth scenario of that year, with the exception of his location being Hang City.
The Energy Core, also known as the Time Wheel, since Tang Feng had not responded yet, it actually started to fuse with the Positioning Axis.
Holy crap, he overdid it.
In a flash of brilliance, Tang Feng vanished from the inn.
