Chapter 803 Chapter 803 A Few Thousand
"City Lord? Is something wrong? Are you injured?" Someone asked from the group of experts around the city lord Su Jun.
They could not help but notice that the old man had been standing there in deep thought for almost 2 dozen breaths already.
"Find out the identity of this man and let me know as soon as you find out anything about him. He should have not..."
The city lord paused his words and carefully walked away from the scene. It was clear that he was not about to finish his thoughts out loud.
A few seconds more and the city lord Su Jun completely vanished from everyone's eyes.

The Money Hoarding Gang returned home before lunch and had done their quests with flying colors.
A chunk of them may have been tempted by the dark side of greed but they also lost their lives in the process of doing so.
In the end, it was a dumb decision to begin with since they did not live to regret this one mistake at all.
"..." The surviving members of the Money Hoarding Gang had of course gotten news about this tragedy at this time. They could not help but tremble at this find.
This mysterious knife that they received from our bored gamer was definitely both a blessing and curse.
It would help them if they remain to be loyal and it would also cut their heads off the moment it deemed them unworthy of their stations. This was not a great life at all for some of them.
"I quit! Please let me live! I want to go back to being a normal citizen of the city!" One man pleaded as he threw the knife back into the box.
With his borrowed godly precision, the item rejoined its brothers and sisters without so much as a shuffle in them.
"I thank the Money Hoarding Gang for this chance but i can't live in this kind of atmosphere!"
"Thank you for everything, Master Yun Che but i'm not just built for..." A thousand and change immediately departed from the place.
They knelt and prostrated deeply until their foreheads reached the dusty grounds before running off like the mad devils were hot on their trails.
These were the ones who expected an easy life in this clan but were instead shocked of what they found today.
The danger and the imminent threat of death was just too much for their minds to take. This must have been the reason why these very people remained low in cultivation to this day.
"DING!"
"DING!"
"DING!" The knives were thrown back to its container and the melee of panicked feet dashed wildly out from view.
When the dust settled, only 2,971 members of the Money Hoarding Gang was left standing in the place.
Some had a dark wish for these cowards to lose their heads in the process of leaving but alas, this was not granted by our very own protagonist.
The sudden retreat came to fruition without anymore malice and death to fall unto anyone else.
And the announcement that came next made them all breathe a whole lot better than before.
"Master Yun Che is benevolent and just. If there's still anyone amongst you who wishes to go, feel free to do so now. No harm will come upon you."
One of the 4 girls named Gu Ya addressed the thousands in the field. Only silence replied to Gu Ya's words.
"I applaud your commitment. I need not enumerate how lucky you are for this decision. You have the rest of the day to yourselves." Gu Ya said before she left in a dazzling flash of colors.
Why walk normally when she can be fancy about it. Thus, the girl's actions provided a ripple effect on her audience.
"BANG!"
"BANG!"
"BANG!" The rest of the two thousands nine hundred seventy one members of the Money Hoarding Gang outdid one another in the next moment.
Before long, the field was once more empty of souls and attendance.

"Master Yun Che, i can't believe that this is all real! These powers are too amazing!" Lang Jian almost creamed her garments on the spot as she praised all the things that she could do now.
All thanks to the magical knife on her hands. It was like a whole new world opened up to her and more!
"Should we give these rings back to you, Master Yun Che? The resources and spirit stones inside would just be useless to us. We don't need them anymore." Hao Tai asked on the side.
"No. You should all keep them. Remember that those knives are not going to be here forever.
There will come a time that their powers will expire and when that happens, you should be aware on its consequences. Borrowed strength is as fleeting as smoke."
Clark smiled to the 4 girls around him and ridiculed himself at the same time. He was well aware that he too was in the same boat as these women.
Without the op benefit that they clay brick has given him, he would have long ago continued to become a puppet dancing on strings in the hands of that fucking Elder God.
'Almost.' Our bored gamer muttered inside as he thought about the time when he could fully harness the clay brick's power as his own. Clark was thrilled for that eventuality.

Night came and it was not the end of the play but merely the beginning.
"Master Yun Che, you have guests outside." Gu Ya said calmly. If this was before, she would have shivered before the combined might of the personalities of those that had come.
But everything was different tonight. With the help of the magical knife, she even had the strong intuition that she could single-handedly cut all of the visitors outside at once.
And to think that there were thousands like her inside the Yun Clan domains. This thought was simply staggering to the extreme!
Gu Ya could not help but look at our avid gamer with both fear and awe in her eyes.
