Manor Lord Wu directly flashed forward and arrived in front of the fallen hawk-nosed man.
This hawk-nosed man had sustained considerable injuries, but he seemed to have some backing and did not immediately beg for mercy in fright.
“We have people behind us covering us, you may be a Void Dao Realm, but do not bring trouble upon yourself, let us go, it is good for everyone!” The hawk-nosed man said while climbing up from the ground.
“Spare me the threats, you lot tried to rob my friend, so what if there are people behind you? Without paying some price, you will not leave unscathed! Do you think you have backing, but I, a dignified Void Dao Realm, do not?” Manor Lord Wu said coldly.
The hawk-nosed man’s facial muscles twitched slightly, clearly feeling uneasy in his heart.
After all, on site, he could not defeat a Void Dao Realm, and as for backing, he truly did not know if Manor Lord Wu had any backing, the more unknown something was, the more it made one feel insecure in the heart.
The hawk-nosed man gritted his teeth and finally produced a storage ring containing Haoyue Crystals, handing it over to Manor Lord Wu.
“Here are five million Haoyue Crystals, consider it my compensation for the offence.”
Manor Lord Wu snatched the storage ring and spat out one word from his mouth.
“Scram!”
Upon hearing this, the hawk-nosed man finally felt relieved and hurriedly turned to flee.
Lin Yun also secretly exclaimed in admiration, the Void Dao Realm was so strong, just now Manor Lord Wu had only casually struck a palm, yet under the hawk-nosed man’s full effort to block, he could still easily crush the hawk-nosed man.
Of course, Manor Lord Wu had already reached the second small realm of the Void Dao Realm, Transformation Dao, naturally crushing the Tongtian Realm was effortless.
Even if Manor Lord Wu wanted to exterminate him, it would similarly be effortless, it was just that when Manor Lord Wu made his move, he had not intended to kill him.
In the blink of an eye, the hawk-nosed man disappeared from sight.
“They got off too lightly, who knows how many people they have already extorted.” Lin Yun gazed in the direction of the hawk-nosed man’s disappearance.
Just from this group’s proficient methods and clear division of labour, Lin Yun could conclude that this group had definitely used such means to extort quite a few people already.
“Yes father, letting these few go is truly too lenient on them.” Wu Qing and Wu Yue almost said in unison.
“The waters in this Heart City run deep, they dare to do this, there must be some backer behind them, earlier I did not let little friend Lin Yun chase the other few, also to guard against any mishaps.” Manor Lord Wu explained.
Manor Lord Wu continued: “Although my Void Dao Realm has some deterrent power, in this Heart City, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, some people and forces I also cannot afford to provoke, so better to avoid trouble where possible, caution in all things is best, as long as I helped resolve the siege for little friend Lin Yun, and we ourselves suffered no losses, that is enough.”
“I understand Manor Lord Wu’s meaning.” Lin Yun nodded in response.
If there had been no Manor Lord Wu, and Lin Yun had come to Heart City alone, in the situation just now, the other side would definitely have made a move on Lin Yun no matter what, a battle would absolutely have been unavoidable, after all in the other side’s eyes, Lin Yun was merely a Second Layer Tongtian Realm.
And if it truly came to a full fight, even if Lin Yun won, how the matter would develop afterwards was also hard to say.
“Moreover, it is not as if we gained nothing, getting five million Haoyue Crystals for free is also extremely good.” Manor Lord Wu smiled and opened the storage ring in his hand.
“Little friend Lin Yun, we split these five million Haoyue Crystals equally.”
Manor Lord Wu transferred half of the Haoyue Crystals from this storage ring into his own storage space, then handed this storage ring to Lin Yun, inside which was exactly two million five hundred thousand.
“Manor Lord Wu, this was seized by your strength, I cannot accept it.” Lin Yun hurriedly waved his hand in refusal.
“Two million five hundred thousand Haoyue Crystals is not some enormous sum, why be polite, take it.” Manor Lord Wu directly tossed the storage ring towards Lin Yun.
Facing the incoming storage ring, Lin Yun could only quickly raise his hand to catch it.
“Then thank you Manor Lord Wu.” Lin Yun cupped his hands with a smile.
“We should also hurry and leave here.” Manor Lord Wu said.
After speaking, Manor Lord Wu led Lin Yun and his three sons towards the direction of Heart City’s North Street.
On the road.
“Manor Lord Wu, if that group truly has backing, they will not come for revenge, will they?” Lin Yun said.
“They should not, these people are merely after money, and just now they only lost five million Haoyue Crystals, for them that loss is not great, the money they have already robbed must be considerable, this sum for them is probably negligible, moreover they know there is me, a Void Realm, they will not risk revenge.” Manor Lord Wu said.
If they had truly killed those few, if the other side had forces backing them, then there might be revenge.
But with the loss not great, they would not bother, after all their main purpose was to seek wealth.
“Who knows how many people they have already fleeced.” Lin Yun’s gaze slightly condensed.
Lin Yun could foresee that this group’s success rate in extortion was definitely extremely high, first they would seek out a cultivator strolling the square alone as prey, then use the scheme to confirm the realm, and then carry out the robbery.
With this entire process, the success rate was extremely high.
