Martial Peak

Chapter 2488, You Won’t Die If You Don’t Court Death

There was only one person Mo Xiao Qi would call a swindler: The old man who scammed her Source Crystals in Maplewood City.

This old man wandered around in the black market all year round in Maplewood City, and his ability to deceive and defraud was superb. He had even sold his so-called Nine Revolutions Life Restoring Pill to many cultivators when he entered Star Soul Palace’s Five Coloured Pagoda.

As an Emperor Grade Alchemist, Yang Kai had never heard of the Nine Revolutions Life Restoring Pill.

After that, Yang Kai also had several encounters with this old swindler. The most recent one was when this old swindler begged for help from the nearby city during the time when Maplewood City was surrounded by Demon Qi.

The old man felt strange to Yang Kai, giving off an enigmatic aura.

Yang Kai had always felt that this old man was hiding many secrets, but the latter always came and went without a trace, his whereabouts always a mystery to everyone. As such, it was impossible for Yang Kai to find out any of his secrets.

Yang Kai had gradually forgotten about this old swindler as time passed, but now he had unexpectedly met him again in the Source Sea.

Only this time, the old swindler was very different from before. Back then, his clothes were ragged, his hair was yellow, and his teeth were crooked and rotting, the very picture of a wicked beggar.

The old swindler now donned fancy clothes and groomed his hair neatly. Wearing a black robe, complemented by his kind face and soft eyes, he radiated a saint-like charm.

Yang Kai’s eyeballs almost dropped out of their sockets.

He did not expect a person could have such a huge change of image and wondered how this old swindler could have made a fortune in the past few years.

What shocked Yang Kai the most was that this old swindler actually had a Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivation, just like him.

Yang Kai could not believe this discovery.

This old man had only been an Origin King back then in Maplewood City, so how did he manage to acquire such a powerful cultivation in just a few years? Could his aptitude be so Heaven-defying? If that was the case, why did it suddenly surface when he was so old? If his aptitude was this superb, it should have manifested when he was young.

Yang Kai could not understand, and felt that this old man was more and more mysterious.

Yang Kai suddenly felt a chill as he thought more about it, and realized a problem he had overlooked.

He did not detect the man when he was scanning the surroundings until Mo Xiao Qi had informed him; or Yang Kai had seen him but did not recognise him.

Yang Kai thought it was impossible for such a thing to have happened.

Yang Kai was still wracking his head over why he did not sense the old swindler, suddenly there was a loud shout from somewhere else, “It’s
