With the spirit stones stolen by Pain Tiandao, Akatsuki could be considered to have solved the urgent problem. At least for a year, it would not be a problem to maintain the time difference of the Universal Light Hall 20 times.
Zero also knew when to stop. Even if Yomi was much more powerful than Ryōsaka, and came and went without a trace, but under the circumstances where all the major forces began to be on guard, he didn't dare to rashly make a move. If someone found any clues, then Akatsuki organization would be in trouble.
However, although Pain Tiandao was no longer in Jianghu, there were still legends about him. All kinds of stories about the spirit stone thief were circulating in the Immortal Ancient World. Some said that it was a kind of mythological beast that ate spirit stones. Some said that an ancient immortal had awakened and was secretly absorbing the spirit energy in spirit stones to restore his strength. Some said that this was the news released by the major forces to confuse ordinary cultivators …
Anyway, there were all kinds of stories. Hearing this, Zero was also stunned. If he was not the spirit stone thief, he was afraid that he would have believed these sound transmissions.
"These people's imagination is really too big …" Pain Tiandao was wrapped in a black robe, listening to the surrounding cultivators talking about the spirit stone thief, and said to himself.
"Hey? This brother, can you know about the spirit stone thief? I have the latest information here. Do you want to buy one? " When a middle-aged cultivator of the Void Training Stage saw Payne in a black robe, he thought that Payne was from a big family and immediately came up to talk with him.
Pain Tiandao looked at the rogue cultivator in front of him, and the Reincarnation Eye hidden in the darkness blinked. You may not believe it, but I am the spirit stone thief, Pain thought.
"Uh … when you said to give it to others, I already heard it, no need to buy it …" Pain said softly.
"Why are you eavesdropping?" The middle-aged cultivator said with a look of disgust.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem …" Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Payne was a little embarrassed. At this time, he couldn't directly attack. He could only pretend to be serious and said to the people around him, "What you heard is fake news. The real Spirit Stone Thief is a top secret among the big families. How could I let you know?"
"You know?" Someone asked suspiciously.
"Of course!" Pain said proudly.
"How many spirit stones? How about selling it to me? "Someone immediately asked.
"One hundred spirit stones for one serving!"
This was the price that Payne had just quoted when he saw someone selling information, and he followed suit.
"Is it true?" Some people didn't quite believe it.
"Whether it's true or not, you'll know once you hear it!" Payne said.
Although everyone was curious, no one actually came to buy the information. After all, these people were not so easily deceived.
Pain sneered, turned around and prepared to leave. He was just casually talking, just looking for an excuse to get away.
"Wait … I'll buy your information! Here's one hundred spirit stones! " Just as Pain was about to leave, someone gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He ran over and stuffed 100 spirit stones into Pain's hands.
Just now, Payne looked like someone who knew some inside information, so everyone couldn't help but be suspicious. Anyway, one hundred spirit stones wasn't expensive, so there was no harm in listening.
Indeed! Payne did know the inside story. Not only did he know the inside story, he also knew all the details because he was the Spirit Stone Thief.
"Nani???" Pain looked at the cultivator who gave him the spirit stones in confusion.
What he said just now was just nonsense. He didn't expect that someone would really be willing to spend one hundred spirit stones to buy information.
"Don't tell me you don't know?" That cultivator immediately asked vigilantly and reached out to grab the spirit stones back.
"Eh? How can I take back the spirit stones that I've given out? Of course I know the inside story! " Payne turned his right hand and put the spirit stones into his storage ring. How could he let the spirit stones fly away? No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. Now that Xiao was in need of spirit stones, he wouldn't let go of even one hundred spirit stones.
"Come here, I'll tell you through voice transmission!" Payne pulled that cultivator aside and walked while thinking. It was really difficult to make up a story on the spot.
"Er …" Payne thought for a while, "Actually, the spirit stones were stolen by Lin An from the Lin Family. After he advanced to the Form Synthesis Stage, he awakened an ability to steal spirit stones from a distance. Think about it, the Lin Family has just been promoted to a Level One Cultivation Force and their power hasn't stabilized yet. At this time, they need a large amount of spirit stones to help the family grow!"
"That can't be right. I heard that the Lin Family's spirit stones were stolen too?" That cultivator questioned.
"The spirit stone that the Lin Family stole didn't even have one hundred million spirit stones. The other big forces lost at least a few hundred million spirit stones. This is a trick deliberately set up by Lin An. Anyway, the spirit stones will end up in his pocket in the end. There's no difference if he stole from his own family. It's just for show!" Payne continued to make up a story. Anyway, there were all kinds of rumors in the outside world. It didn't matter what he said.
After hearing this, that cultivator frowned. He didn't believe it at first, but now he somewhat believed it. There was no other reason. The spirit stones stolen from the Lin Family were indeed less than one hundred million, and not many people in the outside world knew about this. Since the man in black in front of him could say so accurately, he must have an accurate source of information. In this way, the authenticity of this news was guaranteed.
However, he didn't know that it wasn't that Lin An didn't steal from his own family. It was that he didn't find the other spirit stones of the Lin Family. This was really embarrassing.
"That … Do you know what ability Lin An awakened?" That cultivator asked carefully through voice transmission.
"This information isn't something that can be bought with one hundred spirit stones. Furthermore, I don't dare to buy it!" Payne directly refused.
After hearing this, that cultivator felt that it made sense. For a prodigy of this level, the awakened ability would be hidden very deeply. It would be very difficult to dig it out.
Not far away, a group of cultivators saw the two of them chatting for a long time. They couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Could it be that the news was really out?
After the two of them separated, Payne quickly left. The cultivator who received the news began to sell the information wantonly. However, the price was reduced to ninety spirit stones.
After slandering Lin An, Payne continued to wander around the market. He wanted to see if there was a chance for him to pick up some scraps.
Right at this moment, several cultivators in black robes walked over. Although they hid their auras very well, Payne could still sense that there was something different about them.
Furthermore, this aura seemed to be somewhat familiar.
Just as Payne was about to take a closer look, sporadic conversations drifted into his ears.
"I say, Wei Wu, you're even better looking than a girl. How are those real women supposed to live with you?" A young man teased.
"So it's my fault!??" Another person replied indifferently.
