Transmigrated as Investment Banker in Cultivation world

Given the fact that Sophie was the daughter of a local big shot, some sort of protection must have been made by her father.

Of course, Old Second wasn't aware of this fact.

To him, it was just impossible. After all, he lacked the critical thinking ability.

While Old Second was feeling confused, David's eyes suddenly narrowed, and his body flashed with purple thunder.

"Here is my opportunity," David thought in his heart and instantly accelerated like a missile in the direction of Old Second.

"Get your hands away from my investment," David roared and punched the floating orb with all his strength.

Purple thunder covered David's hands and struck the bubbly Old First.

Caught unprepared, not expecting David to attack him, Old Second was defenseless.

David's hand, which was covered with raging thunder, pierced his body.

"Die," David uttered and poured mana inside Old Second in huge quantities.

In the blink of an eye, Old Second inflated like a balloon that could explode at any moment.

However, David didn't stop.

He only stopped when Old Second's body doubled in size. Tears had started to appear on his bubbly form, and he would explode at any moment.

Realizing this, David stopped and grabbed Sophie. After putting her on his shoulders, he started to run.

However, when he had just taken a couple of steps, Old Second exploded with a loud explosion.

Boom!

A shockwave hit David from behind, followed by intense heat that burned his coat.

"Ahhh!" David frowned in pain. He wanted to stop and throw Sophie on the ground, but he just couldn't.

Without even bothering to look back, he ran with all his might.

While running, David realized how stupid he had been this entire time. He hadn't taken anything seriously, not being cautious enough.

If he was alive right now, it was just because of his pure luck and nothing else.

Boom!

David heard one more explosion around him.

The white expanse that stretched for who knew how long was starting to develop cracks. It was going to collapse at any moment.

The ground beneath David's feet collapsed like a sinkhole.

"Fuck this shit." David gritted his teeth and jumped, continuing to run. But where he was even running, he had no idea. He only knew if he stopped, he was going to die.

At this moment, everything around David exploded in an instant.

David was swallowed by a huge explosion and disappeared.

It was difficult to tell whether he was dead or alive.

In the dead village where David first encountered Rick,

two people dressed in black robes with a golden skull embroidered on their backs were talking amongst themselves.

One was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a white beard, one of his ears was missing. Beside him was a young man not much older than David, holding a box in his hand.

The youth looked at the box from time to time.

"Are you sure this is the place?" the middle-aged man asked in a cold tone.

"Yeah, this is the place," the youth swiftly replied, his voice filled with confidence.

They were there to investigate the unusual spatial disturbance that had suddenly appeared in this place.

"Shut up now and give me the detector."

"Let me see for myself."

The middle-aged man rudely snatched the box from the young man's hand and started to look around the surroundings.

The young man only kept his mouth shut and waited for the middle-aged man to confirm.

"Hmmmm! Right, you are not as stupid as you look." After confirming, the middle-aged man handed the device back to the young man without care.

Looking at the middle-aged man's actions, the youth's eyes suddenly widened.

If the device broke, the elder would kill him.

He hurriedly moved and caught the box, then sighed with relief.

"I am going to kill the guy who told me to join Black Spades.

"Fuck you, old man, and your attitude."

The youth angrily cursed the middle-aged man in his head.

Suddenly, the box in the youth's hand started vibrating wildly.

"Get back." The middle-aged man immediately reacted and shouted

The youth was already running; he didn't need the middle-aged man's reminder.

Suddenly, the space in front of them vibrated, and a handsome boy along with a girl appeared on the ground

"Oh! Someone from the North River Sect," the middle-aged man recognized Sophie's robe and muttered.

"Sir, there really is a dimension gate here," the youth excitedly said

The middle-aged man was also excited. After all, finding a dimension gate was something to celebrate.

The dimension gates were left behind by cultivators when they died; it was basically their spiritual space containing a cultivator's life savings.

"Let's take care of them first, and then we will explore the dimension gate."

The youth smiled and walked towards David and Sophie lying on the ground.

Suddenly, the youth's body started to twist and turn.

In barely a minute, he completely transformed. His face turned into that of a crow with an incredibly long beak. His thin hands changed to thick monstrous hands covered with black feathers.

The middle-aged man looked at the youth with disdain.

"Tch! Transforming to deal with some trash lying on the ground."

"Truly pathetic."

However, the young man didn't care about his words.

The youth didn't want to act recklessly even though his target was sound asleep.

He had heard a lot about cultivators dying because they weren't cautious enough.

Turns out the young man was right; David heard the words of the middle-aged man and prepared himself mentally.

He had had regained consciousness when the middle-aged man threw the device but had pretended to catch them off guard.

But now he had to change his plans.
