Ning Zheng remembered that in storybooks there were often cases like this—right after the protagonist left the Marketplace, they'd get tailed by a Tribulation Cultivator.
He hadn't expected that someone who rarely went out like himself would get to experience a wave of classic plot.
What does the Blood Separation Flower family do? This kind of Tribulation Cultivator gig is exactly their thing.
Every now and then, the Demon Charm Saint Sect would also guest-star as Tribulation Cultivators; they'd already waylaid Ning Zheng once before when he was passing by.
So it could be seen that even some small and mid-sized Sects in the Immortal Realm had this kind of "tradition."
—Put on robes and be a righteous orthodox Sect; take them off and earn some side cash.
In essence, this was also the contradiction between natives and outsiders accumulating over time and growing ever more intense.
I, a native, pretend to be a Tribulation Cultivator and kill you outsiders.
