As Lu Sangjiu drew closer, she saw two male cultivators surrounded by a crowd.
One was burly and powerful, with a ferocious expression. The other was handsome and slender, but had a cold and distant air about him.
The burly man was pointing at the other and cursing, claiming he had deliberately damaged his Magic Treasure and demanding compensation.
A few people in the crowd occasionally chimed in to jeer, also telling the man to pay up.
Lu Sangjiu had seen this kind of scam far too often in the Western Demon Realm. She could tell at a glance that the people in the crowd were shills, just trying to extort money from the cold-faced male cultivator because he looked wealthy.
Sky Curtain City was a chaotic mix of people these days, and incidents like this were common. The city's Law Enforcers couldn't possibly manage everything, so these people had naturally grown more brazen.
