The young lady looked at him without any reaction but her gaze flickered for a moment.

The old man didn't outright kill him, instead, he released his aura and spoke in a cold and imperious tone while pointing with his finger at the corpses" Give me a reason that I shouldn't kill you just like these trash." 

Ling Chen felt his heart shuddering. But he tried to remain calm and without showing any hint of intimidation, He brought his fists together and spoke respectfully " Venerable old man, I am not an accomplice of this trash. I was just going home but saw them surrounding you guys so I came to see what was happening. I wasn't stalking you or anything like that."

The old man squinted his eyes seeing that ling Chen showed no signs of intimidation and could speak without nervousness and remain calm under the influence of his aura with only his 5th layer body tempering realm cultivation.

The old man was about to speak when an indifferent voice sounded.

" What is your name? " Old man was stunned on the spot because the owner of the voice was none other than the young lady who would not even bother to spare a glance to someone from big clans. But now she was asking for a nobody's name, why wouldn't he be surprised.

Ling Chen looked into the eyes of the young lady then said " Ling Chen "

" Ling Chen " she mumbled then turned around and spoke " Let's go. uncle Wang. "

The old man took a last glance at Ling Chen and also turned around.

Ling Chen who was looking at the departing figure of the girl, hesitated for a moment then quickly asked " Young lady, may I also know your name?"

The young lady paused for a moment and spoke without turning around " Yu Yan "

" Yu Yan " Ling Chen mumbled while looking at her departing figure. Meanwhile, the Old man was even more confused ' why would young miss ask for a nobody's name and then also told him her name. '

....

After disappearing from ling Chen's sight, the old man glanced at the young lady and asked " Princess, may I ask something?"

Yu Yan smiled and spoke, " Uncle wang you want to know, why I asked for his name right? "

" Yes, I'm just curious princess." Uncle wang nodded.

Yu Yan thought for a second then spoke " It's just that he felt somewhat special. My intuition tells me that we will meet him again in future."

The old man was surprised. How can someone from a low-class place like cloud view town be anything 'special' and they might meet him in future?. It should be known that not even Xiantian realm martial artists can't easily hope to meet them, because the princess clan was the Royal clan of this 'Country of Yu'.

....

After Yu Yan an old man vanished in the deeper region of the mountain, Ling Chen stood there for some time and replayed the slaughter he just witnessed, in his mind.

 ' That old man was most likely a Xiantian realm expert. If so, then Xiantian realm martial artists are way too powerful, He is also very skilled in killing people, he was able to kill them in a single strike. There was not any unnecessary action and he moved like the wind.'

After witnessing a high levelled battle, you can also benefit in some ways and it is also very exciting to watch, that's why many people love to watch battles between experts. Now, Ling Chen was also benefitting from it, this might help him improve his skills a little.

After contemplating for a while, he sighed " I still can't fathom the depth of a really strong expert's strength." He then glanced at the dead bodies.

"I should check them, I'm almost broke now. I don't have enough money to buy some more body tempering pills. They should have some pills right? although that old man made them look weak that is only true in front of him, any one of them could kill me as easily as swatting a fly."

He then searched their bodies, he found 15 jars of body tempering pills each had 20 pills. there was also a total of 450 gold and some weapons.

" Wow! They had 300 body tempering pills and this much gold. there is also their leader's body remaining, let's see what he got."

He then searched his body and found a fist-size pouch. " What is this, he doesn't have anything valuable despite being this gang's leader. Only this little pouch, what kind of leader was he, not having a single pill or gold coins. Forget it!..... let's see what is in this pouch." 

" What! This is a spatial storage bag." after checking the bag he exclaimed in shock.

" Hahaha.....worthy of being a leader! " His previous disappointment disappeared in a puff.

A spatial storage bag is different from a normal storage bag. because these spatial bags are engraved with spatial runes, a small fist size pouch can store a lot of things and unlike normal bags, once you put something inside no matter how heavy it was, you won't feel any weight. This makes carrying your stuff around easier and more comfortable, that's why spatial bags are in high demand but they aren't easy to make. Only the 'Rune masters' who can use engrave spatial runes can make them but runemasters are very few and far between. which makes the production of these spatial bags very low. This is why these spatial bags are worth an astronomical amount of money which a normal body tempering realm cultivation can't hope to earn and buy one for themselves.

But now he got one without doing anything which made him very happy. He quickly collected his thoughts and started taking out the items from the bag. in a short while, there was a small mountain of gold and around 100 jars of body tempering pills, a few parchments made of beast hide and 2 jars of Houtian pills.
