Chapter 76 – Florida Man Plunders and Murders 200 Police Officers for Rare Dish
"Hmm?! Oh, no."
As soon as Leo uttered the words and snapped his fingers, Tang Xuan realized the crisis. He gulped and didn't utter another word as he sensed the tremendous pressure coming from the domain.
POOF
POOF
POOF
Tang Xuan witnessed everything - Ye Tianxie's underlings were disintegrated one after another. Life force energy left their bodies and gathered in Leo's chest.
'Those life force, lifespan, domain… could it be?!'
The chancellor figured out the secret of Leo's domain. It forcefully extracted the life force of dead people to its master – the Florida Man. Secondly, as the domain was related to life force, the master could also manipulate other cultivators' lifespan, thus explaining the existence of the store and his weird currency.
Understanding the purposes of the domain, Tang Xuan got enough information to report to the emperor. He compiled the information in his mind.
'This man is too dangerous. The empire and my clan can't afford to provoke him. We must get on his good side to survive! Only fools will charge head-first here to rob his artifacts and rare herbs. Well, this works in my favor. I can manipulate Yan Zhu to launch a full-scale attack on this immortal and get him killed. That way, the Fatui Cult will be disbanded, and one less unorthodox sect will continue to exist.'
Tang Xuan glanced at Leo, who seemed to be in a daze again. Using this opportunity, he kicked the ground and vanished. The next moment, he traveled 10 kilometers away.
After getting out of the domain, Tang Xuan looked at his hands. They were as sweaty as his face and his drenched back. He felt like he was one step away from death.
It took him a few hours to settle down. Tang Xuan quietly returned to the capital by himself, leaving behind Yan Zhu and his men in the forest.

Leo watched how the 190ish nascent soul cultivators turned into ash. He opened his lifespan menu and checked his income in real-time.
<Your lifespan has increased by 716 Years…>
<Your lifespan has increased by 852 Years…>
<Your lifespan has increased by 827 Years…>
Nothing was sweeter than free lifespan from intruders. Leo couldn't stop smiling.
Meanwhile, Wu Buyi blankly stared at the carnage from the top of Cat's chomper head. He looked down from above and noticed that everybody turned into ash.
He nodded in approval, "Yup. That's Lord Florida Man for you. Only fools would pick a fight with him."
Wu Buyi sat and patted Cat's human head. She was surprised for a moment and swatted his hand off. Then, she tried to bite him with her humanoid mouth.
"HISS!"
The alchemist snickered and toyed with Cat, "What? Can't I pat your head, little girl?"
"MEOW!!"
"What do you mean I didn't do anything? Because of me, they fired a water Qi beam at you. Didn't you get a mouthful of precious water Qi?"
"MEOW-MEOW! NOM-NOM MEOW!"
"What?! It doesn't count as food? Look, Missy. You'd better be considerate to your seniors. I know that you're stronger than me, but you need to show some respect to elders-"
PA!
Cat's vine came from above and swatted Wu Buyi away from her head. Her body soon shrank and reduced to the usual size. Her cultivation base also reverted to the 4th-stage. She yawned and retreated into the granary, where her food haven awaited.
Meanwhile, Wu Buyi was knocked down from the sky and landed on the ground. He only sensed a light impact, but he wasn't hurt. Still, he noticed that a thin layer of blue grid barrier blinked in front of him and vanished after he had gotten on the ground.
Wu Buyi patted his clothes to get rid of dust. He snorted and turned his attention to the survivors and the disciples. Upon looking around, he noticed that all disciples gathered in the warehouse next to the junkyard. Gao Yan was also there with them.
Seeing that the disciples were safe, Wu Buyi was relieved. He turned his attention to the remnant next. However, only one cultivator remained.
Ye Tianxie was left behind. As for the chancellor, he was no longer there.
.
.
Ye Tianxie was shocked. When he realized that he wasn't the monster's opponent, he used Tian Xuan as a shield, begging him to do something about the monster. But suddenly, the situation turned for the worse.
All good men, who served Ye Tianxie for decades, got disintegrated into dust for no reason. He was speechless and confused at the same time.
A few seconds later after his subordinates were all killed, Tang Xuan kicked the ground and retreated from this place, leaving Ye Tianxie alone.
Ye Tianxie was vexed. He clenched his fist.
'Damn coward! You're a quasi-immortal, but you don't even have the guts to fight a 6th-stage monster! You don't deserve the chancellor title!'
Ye Tianxie swallowed his anger and continued hiding from the giant monster's line of sight. While hiding, he found Leo on the farm, poking something invisible in front of him.
The cultivator swallowed his saliva. As Ye Tianxie was aware of his position and the strength gap between the quasi-immortal stage and the soul transformation stage, he chose not to provoke Leo. He looked around, searching for the gap in their defense and an escape route.
BOOM
While looking, Wu Buyi fell from Cat's head and landed not far away from a mysterious west building. Their eyes accidentally met.
"…"
"…"
Wu Buyi and Ye Tianxie gave each other a meaningful look. As Ye Tianxie was two realms higher than Wu Buyi, the former wasn't afraid. However, he was wary of Leo and the plant monster.
'Tsk. Just you wait. Once I report this to his highness, you people will be reduced to dust! I won't forget this humiliation!'
Ye Tianxie grudgingly stomped the ground and flew east, fleeing from this place and avoiding Leo, Wu Buyi, and Cat. Along the way, he noticed a dozen agents in the forest, who also sneered at him.
Because of the spectators, Ye Tianxie's mind was filled with anger. He swore that he would raze this place to the ground one day. As such, he made a detour around the place and escaped to Magpie City, where Yan Zhu and others had been waiting for him.

Seeing that the customers were gone, Leo began picking the loot. As so many people died, rings, weapons, artifacts, armor, and clothes were everywhere.
The warehouse mannequins also knew their queue. They came out from hiding and began collecting rings and random weapons As the mannequins moved, the disciples also came out from hiding.
"Is it over?" Gao Yan looked around. He could no longer see Cat in her giant form.
"Probably?" A disciple dryly laughed. They didn't want to get into the crossfire between super experts as Qi condensation cultivators like them could instantly die because of their sneeze.
The group came out and walked toward the workshop, which was their gathering place. As they proceeded further, their feet stepped on the clothes of the dead cultivators. Two of them also noticed a glowing dish on the ground.
"A shining dish?"
Everybody huddled to see the strange thing. One of them tried to pick it up.
BZZZ
The dish rejected the disciple. As if he was hit by a lightning bolt, he was sent flying. Fortunately, a transparent wall blocked the attack and decreased the impact force for the guy.
"OW!"
The disciple landed on his butt and got up in frustration. He didn't notice that the shop domain had saved his life, "What was that for?!"
Gao Yan and others were relieved that the guy was unharmed. They laughed at their friend's misfortune, "Because you suck!"
"You…"
As their friend failed, Gao Yan tried next. He grabbed the dish.
BZZZ
The residual water element Qi hit him. However, as Gao Yan's primary Qi was wood, his water attribute resistance was high. It only staggered him until he let go of the treasure.
Gao Yan dropped the plate. However, it didn't break when it hit the solid ground. He fluttered his hand in pain.
"Yeah, it stings. I sense water Qi in this thing. I think it's an artifact that boosts the owner's water element Qi."
Hearing that it was an actual artifact, the disciples were astonished. Some of them ran around, trying to search for other items. Then, they found the remains of another dead cultivator near the junkyard.
"There's another one. I found a red mirror!"
Another disciple also found a pair of white daggers on top of the clothing store's building, "I see daggers on the roof."
Everybody had fun playing a treasure hunt game. However, none of them could touch the artifacts and treasures as they once had an owner. Only nascent soul cultivators or stronger seniors could tame them.
However, a certain group of mannequins ignored the rules. They nonchalantly picked up the dishes, daggers, mirrors, and dangerous items. Then, they carried them to the warehouse as if they did nothing to them.
BZZZ
BZZZ
BZZZ
Qi attacks from the artifacts hit the warehouse mannequins, but they were unfazed. In five minutes, they collected a hundred artifacts and put them in a trash bin inside the warehouse.
The disciples followed the mannequins around as these guys seemed to know where the items were. They hoped to get some souvenirs or leftover items that they could use.
The disciples weren't the only ones with the thoughts. The vultures that had been hiding in the forest also had an eye on the artifacts. Thus, they crept closer to the store and plotted to raid the warehouse tonight.
Because of their greed, their killing intent leaked. Wu Buyi immediately picked up their Qi signature and looked around. He soon noticed their movements.
"Oh, boy. I guess I can't concoct any pill tonight."
