Chapter 527: Chapter 244: The Death of Zhao Beiming (2)

"As expected of a key, it truly possesses some ability," the man in black sneered coldly, "but unfortunately, today you’re destined to die."

But just as Yin Changli was on guard, the man in black suddenly had blood gushing from his neck, and then his entire head fell off.

This greatly changed Yin Changli’s expression.

An Innate Perfection expert died so silently?

What was going on?

At that moment, a shadow appeared behind the dead Innate Perfection expert, slowly coagulating into a human form.

It was none other than Zhang Fuguang, who was often seen around.

Wasn’t this guy just someone who swept the floor and served tea?

He silently took out an Innate Perfection expert?

Yin Changli was momentarily stunned.

"Go back to sleep," Zhang Fuguang said calmly, as if he didn’t care at all, completely dismissing the Innate Perfection expert.

"Uh, okay."

Yin Changli nodded dumbly, said nothing more, and quickly went back to his room to sleep.

However, from hearing about the key, Yin Changli also realized that the person sent to kill him was definitely from the Longevity Sect.

The Longevity Sect was making a move once again.

But it made sense, as most experts were heading to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Tribulations now. It was a good time for the Longevity Sect to act; with many experts absent, wouldn’t it allow them to act with impunity?

"Fortunately, General Zhao is still in Beihan City."

With thoughts of Zhao Beiming’s presence, Yin Changli felt much more at ease.

He quickly fell asleep as well.

However, by midday the next day, the soldiers still hadn’t seen Zhao Beiming return. Ever since he went out to chase the giant toad the previous night, he hadn’t come back.

The following day, Yin Fengqi also learned of the events from the previous night and received reports of the Zhanhe Mansion massacre. Yin Fengqi felt that time was of the essence and promptly sent people out to investigate and bolstered security measures.

Yin Fengqi was exceedingly angry.

The Longevity Sect was far too arrogant!

How dare they cause trouble in Beihan Country? Were they trying to resurface and cause chaos in the Cangyuan Realm?

What made Yin Fengqi even angrier was that his daughter, who was cultivating in the Zhanhe Mansion, was also killed by the Longevity Sect.

Yin Shuyu was dead.

Upon learning of this, Yin Changli was filled with rage, clenching his fists tightly, brimming with murderous intent!

Remembering the time they spent together in the Ghostly Realm trial, even though they didn’t share the same mother, having the same father meant Yin Shuyu taught him a lot of things.

He never expected this sister to die at the hands of the Longevity Sect.

"Longevity Sect!" Yin Changli ground his teeth in hatred, drawing the sword at his waist, pointing it to the sky in anger, and declared, "I swear by this sword, I will wipe out you Longevity Sect scum!"

The following news plunged the entire Beihan Country into silence.

Yin Fengqi could hardly believe it.

Because the soldiers carried Zhao Beiming back.

Yes, it was Zhao Beiming’s corpse.

Zhao Beiming was dead.

When found, he no longer showed any signs of life, the body charred, with the Nine Truths Spear lying not far away.

Yin Fengqi couldn’t believe it. A strong figure like Zhao Beiming died just like that.

Who on earth did the Longevity Sect send?

Such incredible skills.

Could it be someone from the Great Martial Sect?

At that moment, Yin Fengqi felt a bit despondent; with Zhang Mu-zhi absent and Li Changqing also not around, what could they use to block more incursions if the Longevity Sect people came back?

Meanwhile, the Longevity Sect seized the opportunity to wreak havoc across the Cangyuan Realm, but most people were nearly at Mountain of Ten Thousand Tribulations.

No one was aware of all the deeds done by the Longevity Sect behind the scenes.

Mountain of Ten Thousand Tribulations, named so because within this mountainous region, there are numerous lakes, each not very large but widely scattered, each a deep pit, rumored to have been formed by countless lightning tribulations striking down, splitting the mountain range.

In usual times, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Tribulations is also a place with nice scenery, and there’s even a city here called Wanjie City.

Currently, Wanjie City was bustling with activity.

When Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai arrived, Wanjie City was as if boiling over like bubbling hot water.

Even though Wanjie City wasn’t small, so many experts arriving was something Wanjie City had never considered before.

So, the experts from Celestial Sea City also came to Wanjie City to help maintain order.

Lin Qingyi and Yue Qingwu were both there.

In addition, there were two Great Martial Sect level experts from Celestial Sea City in charge of other areas.

With them around, generally there’s no issue.

Moreover, even Jiang Feng, the major caretaker of Celestial Sea City, came to oversee in Wanjie City, preventing anyone from causing trouble.

With Jiang Feng, the Earthly Immortal, overseeing, things were much better. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai entered the city, they saw a figure riding a Fire Crane approaching; it was a young man, landing in front of them.

Respectfully, he said, "Thousand Snow Sword Venerable and Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, welcome to Wanjie City. Your accommodations have been arranged by the City Lord."

"Much appreciated."

Xue Qianbai nodded.

At this time, many people on the streets of Wanjie City looked on enviously at Xue Qianbai and Li Changqing.

"They arrive and have places to stay, while we have to squeeze and find spots on the street; it’s just unfair!" A man with a scarred face expressed dissatisfaction.

"Huh, they are Thousand Snow Sword Venerable and Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, two major Sword Venerables. Are you comparable to them? If you had that capability, I’m sure the city lord of Wanjie City would also arrange accommodations for you," someone mocked.

Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai were settled in a quiet little courtyard.

The young man then took out two black invitation cards and handed them to them.

"What are these?" Li Changqing curiously asked.

"Blood Mist Invitations," Xue Qianbai, looking at the objects in hand, said lightly, "The Black Market’s owner is quite the businessman to hold a Blood Mist Trade Fair at this time."

"Indeed, if you’re interested, you can come."

"I won’t disturb you two anymore," the young man said, turning away.

Li Changqing, gazing at the invitation in hand, asked with puzzlement, "What is a Blood Mist Invitation?"

"It’s a black market invitation," Xue Qianbai explained, "a special trade fair where participants can’t see each other. You can only trade items for items, which prevents those with ill intentions from targeting you. If you have stolen goods difficult to offload, the Blood Mist Trade Fair is a convenient venue. If you’re interested, you might want to take a look tonight."

"That sounds worth checking out," Li Changqing, indeed intrigued, said.

Li Changqing had some treasures he wanted to trade but worried doing so might cause trouble, such as his enormous Space Ring.

If he could trade it for another treasure, it would suit his intention, particularly as owning many storage rings without using them felt pointless.

"But so many people coming to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Tribulations," Li Changqing could still perceive the noise outside.

He also sensed subtly strong presences arriving at Wanjie City.

"Perhaps apart from the Cloud Wasteland, at least half of the experts from the three wildernesses have gathered. After all, with the Realm Master Cangyuan making a move, it’s a rare occasion," Xue Qianbai playfully speculated.

Xue Qianbai, however, wasn’t curious about Jiang Tianyun.

The fascination was with Li Xuanxi.

Celestial Maiden Sword Immortal.

Being called a Sword Immortal, observing her swordsmanship would undoubtedly benefit him greatly.

By nightfall.

Li Changqing and Xue Qianbai headed out, preparing to visit the Blood Mist Trade Fair.

Hoping perhaps to find something valuable.

Using the invitation, they entered a mysterious cavern within the city.

At the moment of entering the cave, Li Changqing couldn’t see Xue Qianbai; everything was shrouded by a blood mist that isolated everything.

The blood mist even blocked Divine Soul probing.

Li Changqing thought it all very mysterious, increasingly curious about who the Black Market lord was, who could use such extraordinary means.
