Chapter 2 - Plundering

In Wushuang universe, the ecosystem was balanced in three states. The Upper realm, the Middle realm and the Lower realm. Countless cultivators we're seen moving towards the Tower of fifth below the Lower realm. The Tower of fifth is a magnificent place where cultivators are tested of their battle prowess. Then, in the middle realm. They weren't much people filled there. The Lower realm had much people because it was created for the sake of allowing the poor and weak to socialize. The middle realm is then guarded by a powerhouse and not anyone can be granted access or entry. And as for the Upper realm, only the wealthy can afford for access. 

The middle realm was frantic, same applied to the lower realm. Mu Shen opened his eyes. As someone who had been transmigrated into another world, everything felt unfamiliar yet, so familiar. In his previous world, he was unable to cultivate. But now, the essence was there and his only goal is— to plunder some star crystals. 

Without those, cultivation would not be possible. 

In the Lower realm, the market was filled with people. There, they sold all kind of things, however what Mu Shen wanted is the crystals and it is something that the passerbys could give to him. Mu Shen did not know who was whom. Anyone can be a powerhouse so it was unwise to provoke them, which is why he chose to observe. 

A young man around Mu Shen's age walked towards where Mu Shen hid. The young man had three boys patrolling behind him and when they were meters away, the man pointed towards Mu Shen's bags. Already, they were only three star crystals in that bag.

"Wang Chung, get me that bag!" 

Mu Shen's gaze trailed towards the four men and his eyes narrowed. 

Wang Chung stepped forward. The other three men behind him. In the lower realm, every cultivator is simply a survivor. It doesn't even matter if they plunder the resources for their cultivation. The world is a cruel place and for one to step foot into the path of cultivation, they must know what life they are about to live and what journey they are to embark on.

Wang Chung stared at Mu Shen and smiled: "Do I have to attack you? We need your bag!" His voice was harsh that the ordinary people who witnessed the scene trembled in fear and ran away. 

Mu Shen's eyes flashed. He had nothing to fear. There was a calm expression on his face and he responded; "attack me!"

The man was surprised. 

Who in their right mind would see a group of four and still brazenly ask to be attacked? The difference should be obvious. It was four against one. Wang Chung's face turned serious and his eyes became icy cold. 

"It seem to me like you do not love your life at all. We're all cultivators, we can kill you and no one will do anything about it. No one will breath about it!"

Mu Shen's eyes flickered. 

A certain memory appeared in his mind and just like that, he felt extremely confident. He had actually been searching for who to steal from and then, the troublemakers found him. Wouldn't it be seen as a Cat biting a tiger not actually knowing that the tiger has sharper teeths that could cut it to shreds. 

"Wang Chung, let's finish him." 

The other man, Bai Wangyuan said with a very bored expression. "What do you think about this Tai chu? Maybe a beating or two should make him realize." 

Then Wang Chung, Bai Wangyuan and Tai chu glared at Mu Shen with a threatening gaze. 

The man behind them was very proud of the situation that his boys has created, the best part is that no one would dare interfere in the commotion. The town guards actually minded their own business which is something that caused insecurities within Wushaung Universe. 

Mu Shen's gaze was thoughtful. But he did not hand out his bags. It actually bulged out does not mean there was anything inside. With this method, he could attract more people and he would plunder their resources. 

The man behind them held a cosmic ring which contains a lot of resources. Mu doesn't have one which resulted to him carrying a bag around. The sight of that is too provoking that it can attract the attention of robbers. 

When the three men saw that Mu Shen was not going to give the bag, their expressions turned sour. In fact, Mu Shen acted as if they were minor existences. 

Immediately, Bai Wangyuan attacked. As someone who has the worst temperament, he lost it and made the first move. 

But then, Mu Shen's eyes that were closed opened and the surrounding suddenly lost color. Everything shrank around them causing the air to distort and spin. 

Bai Wangyuan was shocked, he retreated making Tai Chu and Wang Chung to also retreat.

The man behind them was surprised. Mu Shen hadn't even actively moved and his boys had retreated. What had he done?

"Dou Sheng, I think you should leave!" Bai Wangyuan said, his eyes wary. Dou Sheng is the man who had ordered the three men to get Mu Shen's bag and now, they wanted him to leave. 

Mu Shen scoffed. "Leave? Not going to happen." 

When Dou Sheng turned to leave a strange, yet powerful force locked his path. Dou Sheng was surprised that he couldn't help but ask; "What domain are you?"

Mu Shen shrugged but did not bother to give back any reply. 

Mu Shen's smile turned sinister. "I want your cosmic ring!" 

Dou Sheng was shocked and then his face changed. "You wish!" 

For the first time, Mu Shen moved and the air locked in four different directions and then solidified. After that, it pressed down at Mu Shen's wave of the hand. 

Dou Sheng was horrified. "That's Four dimensional lock! The innate battle technique. How did you learn it?" 

By now, the solid air pinned him down that he was unable to move. 

Bai Wangyuan, Tai Chu and Wang Chung attacked together in order to shatter the four dimensional lock, but then the sky changed from white to red. 

The three men suddenly felt chills run down their spine. 

"That's the Bleeding sky Wangyuan, run!" Tai Chu screamed and started to run. 

Bai Wangyuan was horrified. 

The Bleeding sky is one of the most prominent battle technique on the Celestial ranking lists. The first person that had used the technique is Liu Fuxue and it had caused Bai Wangyuan great chills and now, that same feeling was returned. 

Bai Wangyuan turned to leave, even Wang Chung stepped out and left trails around the void, but Mu Shen's voice reached their ears. 

Bai Wangyuan, Dou Sheng, Tai Chu and Wang Chung. Their expressions changed drastically.

"Let the bleeding sky descend!" 

The distance expanded that no matter what the four men tried to do, they were unable to escape the range of the technique. The air was distorted all around that it became incomparably difficult to breath. This particular battle technique carried a suffocating pressure. 

The red veil that blotted the sky pressed down and the ground seem to crack all over.
