Behind him were two people. One was hunchbacked and was carrying a huge sack. The other was a dwarf with a small felt hat on his head. There were many wrinkles on his face and he looked like he had been through a lot. If it weren't for the fact that they were High Immortal cultivators, one would think that they were nothing more than street vendors.
It was rare to see an Immortal Lord dressed so simply. If this was any other immortal city in the Heaven Realm, they would at least be a well-respected city lord. However, there were many Immortal Lords in the Heaven Palace so it was normal for them to dress like this.
As the two of them got closer and closer to Du Feng, one could see that the hunchbacked old man's hand sneakily reaching behind him. He grabbed onto a corner of the sack and injected his essence energy into it. It was unknown what he was trying to do. The two of them were already very close to each other, but Du Feng still did not draw his sword. It was unknown what he was doing. The faces of the two people behind them were already smiling.
"Friend, are you going to the Floating Sky Island to hunt?"
Who knew that at this moment, Du Feng would suddenly turn around and talk to them with a smile.
"Ah, right right right. We are going to the Floating Sky Island to hunt too. Our finances have been a little tight recently."
The hunchbacked old man immediately let go of the sack and started chatting with Du Feng. He said that even though they were Immortal Lords, life in the Heaven Palace wasn't easy either. They had a big family to support and from time to time, relatives and friends would come over to seek shelter.
The conditions of the Sky Palace were very good, and one's cultivation would progress very quickly if they stayed there. However, the expenses were also very high. There were so many mouths to feed and so many people who needed resources to cultivate. All of these had to be bought. Even though they had the Immortal Lord Cultivation, money couldn't be made out of thin air.
Those Immortal Lords who were city lords in the lower immortal cities were better off as they could start businesses in the immortal cities to earn money. Even though the Immortal Lords who lived in the Heaven Palace had a better environment, they couldn't earn extra money. Therefore, they could only head to the surrounding Floating Sky Islands to see if they could hunt for high level beasts or get some immortal herbs or spirit fruits.
"That's right. My finances have been a little tight recently."
Du Feng scratched his head in embarrassment as though he was really short of money. Compared to ordinary Immortal Lords, he was actually quite rich. Of course, compared with the power of the Shangguan family, they were indeed a bit short of money. But it didn't matter. The two behind him were here to give him money. Otherwise, why would they follow him so closely?
"That's great. Why don't we go hunting on the first island up ahead? We can keep each other company."
When the hunchbacked old man heard this, he quickly invited Du Feng to go to the floating island in front of them to hunt demon beasts. The floating island closest to the Heavenly Palace, also known as Island Number One.
"Sigh, what's so interesting about Island No. 1? It's so close. All the good stuff must have been snatched away by others."
In the end, Du Feng disagreed with him and insisted on going to the third island. He said that there was nothing good on the first island and that the second island was too small. He insisted on going to the third island to take a look. In fact, he had only gotten the information about these floating islands from Canyang before he left. Now that he was chatting, he seemed like an expert who often came out to hunt.
"Big Uncle, isn't the third island a little too dangerous?"
The dwarf behind the hunchbacked old man addressed him as Big Uncle. It seemed like the two of them were relatives. In terms of Cultivation, it made sense that the hunchbacked old man was a Level 5 Immortal Lord, and the dwarf was a Level 3 Immortal Lord. However, there was one thing that Du Feng didn't understand. Why did the other party send two people with such low Cultivation levels?
One had to know that Du Feng had always been able to kill opponents above his cultivation level. Even a Level 9 Immortal Lord might not be able to hurt him. Now, they sent a Level 5 Immortal Lord and a Level 3 Immortal Lord. What was the meaning of this? Their Cultivation levels weren't even as high as his.
"It's fine. With this friend's help, it will definitely be fine."
The hunchbacked old man nodded at Du Feng and tidied up the sack on his back.
"Oh right, what's that sack of yours for? Why aren't you putting it in?"
Du Feng suddenly changed the topic and asked the hunchbacked old man about the use of the sack. It was too conspicuous for him to carry a sack on his back all the time. Moreover, it felt like a ride. The two of them didn't use the Imperial Flight Technique but the Cloud Riding Technique. They stepped on a white cloud and flew forward. The sack behind them did feel like a ride.
"Oh, this. It's used to capture demonic beasts."
The hunchbacked old man patted his sack. His sack could indeed be used to capture demonic beasts alive. Killing a Demonic Beast was one price, but capturing it alive was another. Speaking of which, it was really difficult to capture a demonic beast of such a level alive. First, one had to subdue it. However, one couldn't kill it. Then, one had to establish a master-servant contract with it. Otherwise, one wouldn't be able to subdue it alive.
"Yo, your sack is so special. Can it be used to capture people alive?"
Du Feng chuckled and added casually.
"You must be joking. My Beast Subduing Bag is used to capture demonic beasts. How can it be used to capture people?"
The hunchbacked old man smiled awkwardly and pulled the sack on his back. Du Feng had seen Beast Subduing Bags before, but they were usually small and hung around the waist. After all, there was an independent space inside the Beast Subduing Bag. Even huge demonic beasts could be placed in it.
However, the hunchbacked old man's sack was a bit too big to be called a Beast Subduing Bag. If it was used to carry a living person, it wouldn't need an independent space to carry it. It was quite similar to the sack used by human traffickers.
"Okay. When we encounter demonic beasts, it's up to you."
After Du Feng said this, he suddenly accelerated and flew past Floating Island No. 1. The hunchbacked old man hesitated a little. He exchanged a look with the dwarf next to him and also flew past Floating Island No. 1. As soon as they flew past, a team came out of Floating Island No. 1.
"These two have their eyes on a fat sheep again. It seems that the Heavenly Palace has a new recruit."
"Yeah, I guess someone is going to be unlucky again. It's a pity for a handsome young man."
Two people in this team knew the hunchbacked old man and the dwarf. They seemed to know what they were up to. However, they didn't know Du Feng, so there was no need to remind him.
It was a pity that Canyang had only been in the Heavenly Palace for a short time. He didn't know who the hunchbacked old man and the dwarf were, so he couldn't tell Du Feng. However, no matter who they were, Du Feng knew that these two guys were definitely up to no good.
