Du Feng went up to check on the old man, he was indeed dead. For the sake of scamming, he sacrificed a lot. However, he was not shaken to death by Du Feng, but a dying old man, the True Essence in his body had dried up. He was hanging there on his last breath, barely able to sit on a small bench and bask in the sun.
When he saw Du Feng coming, it was as if he saw a fish taking the bait. When he heard him shout, he fell to the ground and died.
For an old man like him whose body functions were already failing, his soul power was scattered, it was impossible for him to reincarnate. When a person dies, his soul floats away, no one knows if he still has the chance to reincarnate. Regardless of whether he has the chance to reincarnate, extorting money was unavoidable.
Honestly speaking, with Du Feng's strength, if he released his aura, he could send all these old men and women flying. What scamming, scamming, all of them should be shocked to death. But he was too embarrassed to do so, bullying a group of old men sitting on a small bench waiting to die, he really could not do such a thing.
Moreover, this was East Immortal City, it was fine for the locals to blackmail outsiders, but if they did the opposite, they would probably go to jail.
Sure enough, after the group of old men and women had enough, a few young people appeared in time. If Du Feng was not wrong, one of the young men was really an official of East Immortal City. This so-called official was the guard of the city gate.
East Immortal City was after all a Level 3 Immortal City, the division of functions was very clear. The guard of the city gate was in charge of patrolling and guarding, but actually had no right to interfere in the disputes of the people. This kind of dispute should be handled by the officials at the gate. Moreover, this Immortal City was divided into many regions, and the slums should be under the jurisdiction of the Clear Water Yamen.
"Speak, how are you going to compensate for my grandfather's death?"
Alright, the guard of the city gate was already prepared. He did not know if the person who died was his grandfather, but now that he was dead, he had to pretend to be his grandson to extort money.
"Name a price, if it's suitable, I'll give it. If it's not suitable, you can't stop me. "
Du Feng wasn't bragging. This person was only at the Earth Celestial Stage of Cultivation. Even if he was in the Heaven Celestial Realm, there were very few people in the same realm who could stop Du Feng. At most, he would just fall out with them, knock them out, and run away. By the time the officials found out, he would have already left East Immortal City. At most, he would not come back again.
"You … How can you be so unreasonable?"
The guard thought that Du Feng would be afraid after being involved in a murder case, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.
"Don't pretend. I know you're trying to blackmail me. That's it."
"If you can buy me a ticket, I can give you more money."
Du Feng released some of his aura, suppressing the young man to the point where he couldn't even lift his head. He knew very well that if Du Feng turned hostile, he could kill them at any time and escape. At most, he would become a fugitive in the future, and it would actually be quite difficult to catch him.
Because this was a slum area, the patrolling soldiers rarely came here. By the time they discovered it, it would be too late.
"Give … give me a hundred celestial stones, I want a middle grade one."
The young man clenched his teeth and gave a price. He also emphasized that it was a middle grade one, afraid that Du Feng would make a mistake and give him a low grade celestial stone.
"Uh …" Du Feng was slightly stunned when he heard that. He thought that the other party was going to ask for an exorbitant price, because after all, it was a human life. But he didn't expect that he would actually only ask for a hundred celestial stones, and it was a middle grade one. If it was a hundred high grade celestial stones, it would be worth a bit of money.
A hundred middle grade celestial stones could only buy an Earth Celestial Realm martial artist's armor or an ordinary weapon. That was a human life, and it was only worth that much money.
Seeing that Du Feng didn't speak, the young man thought that he was unwilling, so he took the initiative to lower the price, "How about eighty?"
F * ck, why did he take the initiative to lower the price? Du Feng was almost speechless. But thinking about it, because the other party was already guilty. As long as he was firm, the other party would naturally be afraid. If this matter really got out of hand and was found out by the yamen … Even if they really wanted to punish Du Feng, the money would not fall into the hands of the young man in the end.
Seeing that Du Feng still didn't speak, the young man took the initiative to offer another price, "Eighty really can't be any less. I can help you find a house to live in."
Well, Du Feng couldn't find a housing agent after looking around, so it turned out that the captain of the pengci team was one.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Can you get a ticket?"
Du Feng suddenly spoke, giving the young man a shock.
"Boat … I really can't get a ticket. There are only a pair of mother and daughter in this house. The older one is still charming and has a good figure. The younger one is also quite fresh and pretty. Why don't you … "
"Shut up, I'm here to rent a house, not to visit a brothel."
Du Feng stopped him in time. This guy was getting more and more outrageous. Just now, he said that his grandfather was dead and pretended to be heartbroken. Now that he heard that he could get a good fee, he actually introduced his business to Du Feng.
However, Du Feng also saw that the old man who just died was definitely not his grandfather. There were a lot of old people in this slum, all sitting and eating, waiting to die. It was already good luck to be able to get a foreign enemy like Du Feng to take the bait.
The young man got money from Du Feng, but he still had to give some to the old people around him, so that they could buy some wine in their last days. To put it bluntly, this was a collective pengci area.
"Yes, yes, you're here to rent a house. The house is really good, at least it's clean."
The young man knew that Du Feng disliked this place because it was too smelly and dirty. The house he introduced was not an old man or an old woman. It was a young woman who looked to be in her thirties, with a little girl who was about 14 or 15 years old. In fact, this young woman might really be more than 30 years old. She didn't take good care of herself, and her skin looked quite young.
After all, she was a resident of Immortal City. She still had a certain level of Cultivation, so her body wouldn't age so quickly. As for the little girl, she was really not that old. After seeing Du Feng, she still cowered and hid behind him.
Although she was not that old, she was actually not that small either. It was just that she was a little timid and kept hiding behind the young woman.
Du Feng frowned and looked at their house. Although the courtyard was not very clean, it was very tidy. The mother and daughter lived in the main house, and he could temporarily stay in the side room. This would save him the trouble of looking for a hotel.
"Okay, use this money to buy some delicious food for the old man."
