Cultivation Pet Shop

All of the punks that surrounded Lin Fan\'s group were in the Platinum Realm.

That was considered quite powerful in the outer ring, it was just too bad they chose the wrong target to rob.

The reason why Lin Fan released Brainy was because Brainy was the best pet he had to deal with this situation.

In truth, since he had broken through, he rarely took out Brainy to fight anymore. The only times that he took out Brainy was to use its puppets to scout out an area or to find something.

Because of this lack of combat, Brainy now didn\'t have as many strong puppets that it could use.

While these Platinum Realm puppets wouldn\'t be much, Brainy would still have a use for them because of their appearances. They had the right appearances for certain uses, so Brainy didn\'t mind keeping them.

With a single thought, Brainy suddenly pulled out several Platinum Realm puppets, as well as several hundred Gold Realm beasts that it suddenly sent out at the more than ten thugs that had appeared.

Brainy could have sent out more puppets, but it also jumped out to attack these thugs.

Since Brainy had broken through to the Primary Soul Realm, its body did become much stronger. It wanted to see just how strong its body was.

The thugs were shocked when they saw these puppets, but seeing how sluggish they moved, they realized that they were nothing more than puppets.

These corpses all seemed quite well preserved and if they could take them, it would earn them quite a bit.

So even though they were clearly outnumbered, not a single one of these thugs ran away. All of them released their auras and charged forward at the puppets that had appeared in front of them.

All of them except for a group of five that had gathered together to face Brainy.

These five were the five with the highest levels of cultivation and they were the strongest five in this entire group.

The reason they grouped up was not just because they were the strongest, but rather they had a great synergy between them that allowed them to use power that was several times stronger than normal. This was because they had all studied under the same master who they had killed for his secret technique, which was a formation that only the five of them could use.

If they used this array together, they would even have the chance to stop a Fragmented Soul Realm Expert. However, it was still impossible for them to defeat one since there was just a big gap between the Platinum Realm and the Soul Realm.

It was too bad that their opponent was Brainy who was not only in the Primary Soul Realm, but also an expert in trapping techniques which was the exact counter to their array.

The array that the five of them used allowed them to gather their power into a single attack, but that was just it and it consumed a lot of their life energy to use each time.

After Brainy had mutated once again to become a double mutated beast, its body had become much stronger compared to before. Even though it was only in the Primary Soul Realm, its body was already a match for those in the peak Fragmented Soul Realm.

Even with the five of these punks working together, all they could reach was the low Fragmented Soul Realm, how could they match Brainy\'s body in the peak Fragmented Soul Realm?

Since that was the case, Brainy was able to easily trap with them its vines that wrapped around them until they had nowhere left to go.

As for the rest of the punks with mohawks, Brainy\'s puppets took care of them by overwhelming them with numbers.

Soon there were only the five of them in the formation left.

The shortest one among them turned to the tallest one and said, "Boss, what do we do?"

The tallest one bit his lips for a bit before shouting, "We surrender. If you don\'t kill us, we have some good information for you that we\'re sure you\'ll like!"

Lin Fan heard this and raised a hand. When he did, the vines that Brainy controlled stopped moving and he asked, "What information do you have?"

But then he also gave a snap and one of the vines slapped down right in front of them. It moved so fast that not a single one of them had been able to see what the attack was.

It was only at that moment that they realized something important.

It wasn\'t that this snake made of vines wasn\'t able to take care of them, it was that it had been playing with them the entire time. It could have finished them off at any moment, but it chose to let them fight…

All five of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty before the tallest person said, "There\'s a prime target just a few kilometers away from here. As long as you spare us, we\'ll work with you to take them down and you can keep all the treasure that we would get."

Lin Fan gave a thoughtful nod before saying, "It\'s too bad that that proposition has no merits for me. Sure I can rob them, but it\'s easy for them to track me down afterwards. Not to mention that if they have treasures, they must have some powerful force backing them. You think I\'m stupid enough to risk my life?" At this, his eyes turned cold as he looked over the five of them.

All of them felt the chill run down their backs as they couldn\'t help shivering.

The tallest one had been too greedy. He wanted to use Lin Fan to attack this group because he knew about Lin Fan\'s power. As long as he made it seem like there was a powerful expert protecting their group, no one would dare to mess with them in the future. It was worth it giving up the fat sheep that they had been stalking the entire time.

However, Lin Fan was right, without being able to hide his identity and stopping them from tracking him down, all of it would be for nothing.

Of course, the tallest person had also planned for this.

He was hoping that Lin Fan wouldn\'t think of this so that he could throw Lin Fan under the bus, but since he did, there was a way for him to get out of this.

His group had been able to attack all those people and get away, it wasn\'t just because of luck.

Some of the people that they robbed really did have powerful backers, so it would have been easy for them to track them down, that was if this group didn\'t have a way to deal with this. However, the leader of this group did have a way to deal with this.

He dug into his chest and took out a small totem.

When Lin Fan saw this, the first thing he thought of were the large tiki heads that were on Easter Island on earth. After all, this thing was a perfect replica of it.

The tallest person said, "This is a special artifact that we use to hide ourselves, otherwise it would be impossible for us to do everything that we do. As long as we use this, there is no chance of you being found."

Lin Fan thought about it and felt that he was right. These people clearly didn\'t seem poorly armed since most of the Platinum Realm Experts from earlier had pulled out Soul Realm Artifacts, which meant that they should have been a successful band of robbers.

Lin Fan reached out his hand and said, "Let me see it and I\'ll consider it."

All four of the shorter bandits looked at the tallest bandit who had a difficult look on his face, but after a few seconds of thought, he still handed the small tiki head over to Lin Fan.

It wasn\'t like he had much of a choice since Lin Fan held all the power here. If he didn\'t give the artifact to Lin Fan, he would be killed since there was no chance that Lin Fan would trust him. If he at least gave the artifact to Lin Fan and he realized that it was real, there was a chance of him surviving.

That was the mentality that these upper realm people had.

In front of benefits, anything could be negotiated. Even people who had been bitter enemies one day had a price for the day they would become friends.

But it was too bad that Lin Fan didn\'t have the same mentality. Especially since he knew who the fat sheep that these bandits mentioned were.

After Lin Fan looked over the artifact, he revealed a thoughtful look like he was considering something.

When the bandits saw this, there was a hopeful look on their faces. As for the tallest one, he had more of a look that said he expected this. After all, in front of benefits, no one could resist.

But seeing that Lin Fan still wasn\'t saying a word, the tallest one couldn\'t help asking, "Senior, are you interested in working with us…"

Before he could even finish, Brainy\'s vine had already fallen down onto his head, crushing his skull.

Even in his last moments, he didn\'t expect that he would die like this.

The others just watched as that headless corpse fell to the ground before looking at Lin Fan in shock.
