The assailant was naturally Lou Yi, only he was wearing a human skin mask.
He walked up to Qi Bao, searched him for a moment, and found only thirty or so taels of silver.
"So poor?"
Lou Yi looked at Qi Bao's chest.
He discovered the purple Treasure Pearl he wore, the size of a longan seed, emitting a faint glow in the night.
Remembering how Qi Bao had escaped his first attack previously.
Lou Yi's heart moved, and he used the Mountain Opening Skill on the Treasure Pearl.
An invisible energy spread toward the Treasure Pearl, which suddenly brightened and then quickly dimmed.
"What a treasure!"
Lou Yi pulled off the purple Treasure Pearl, flickered his figure, and disappeared into the night in a flash.
Half an hour later, a shrill woman's cry rang out in the alley.
"Murder..."
Before long, the entire alley was surrounded by a group of soldiers, prohibiting anyone from approaching.
