Chapter 110 Black Market Opens
Chapter 110 Black Market Opens
Qingyun Gate, Body Peak.
"The competition begins: Si Jinchuan of the Cloud Soaring Sect versus Xu Weilin of the Twilight Snow Sect."
Thunderous cheers immediately erupted at the scene.
Xie Wanning looked at Si Jinchuan in front of her and cupped her hands, saying, "You flatter me, Brother Si."
Si Jinchuan nodded slightly and gripped the knife in his hand tightly.
Xie Wanning suddenly rushed out, her fist surging with overwhelming force.
Then, she lost.
Si Jinchuan's blade struck Xie Wanning's calf instantly, forcing her to kneel down.
Then, a sharp blade was placed directly against her neck.
Xie Wanning had no choice but to surrender.
Si Jinchuan's explosive power and speed in that instant caught everyone off guard, and the competition ended in a crushing victory.
Si Jinchuan didn't look at Xie Wanning kneeling on the ground, and turned to leave.
How heartless!
Xie Wanning gave a self-deprecating laugh, endured the pain, got up from the ground, and walked awkwardly off the field.
Inside the venue.
"Disciple, you did very well. There's no need to show mercy to someone like Xu Weilin. She doesn't deserve any sympathy." Ling Moqing smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Si Jinchuan looked at his right hand, recalling the competition just now.
He responded with an "okay" and then did not react further.
Shiratori Peak, rest area.
Xie Wanning was fully focused on absorbing spiritual energy. The individual competition was over, and the group competition was about to begin tomorrow.
The rules of the group competition are that sect disciples enter a secret realm for exploration, and each person has a token on their waist. If the token is taken away, they will be teleported outside the secret realm.
Disciples of a sect can steal each other's tokens.
The winner is the sect that obtains the most tokens.
Xie Wanning realized that the gap between herself and others had widened, and she could no longer stop moving forward.
She focused on her practice for an entire afternoon.
As dusk fell, Xie Wanning opened the door and saw a small paper figure floating towards her.
She picked up the paper figure, which read: "The black market is open today. Want to go check it out? See you at the foot of Shiratori Peak."
Xie Wanning looked left and right and found no one else, so she closed the door and quickly ran down the mountain.
Sure enough, in a small courtyard at the foot of Bai Niao Peak, Qin Muyang was sitting comfortably in a chair, fanning himself with a folding fan.
"Sect Master Qin, I'm here!" Xie Wanning waved enthusiastically and ran over happily.
Qin Muyang looked at Xie Wanning running over and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Miss Xu did come after all. I was worried that Miss Xu would be troubled by the competition this morning and wouldn't come."
"How could that be? It's just losing a match," Xie Wanning said, feigning nonchalance, though she was still somewhat unconvinced. However, she quickly changed the subject: "Sect Leader Qin, won't you be discovered if you go out at night?"
Xie Wanning herself wasn't worried. She left a note for Lin Xuanjin on the table, saying that she was going out to cultivate tonight and wouldn't be coming back.
However, since Qin Muyang was in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Xie Wanning found it hard to imagine that Zhuge Kuang would release him so easily.
Qin Muyang's eyes brightened and cheered. He took out a human-shaped wooden puppet from his storage bag, raised his chin slightly, and solemnly introduced it: "This is an eighth-grade magic artifact that I researched today. It can transform into the user's appearance and imitate the user's actions. Moreover, it is not a simple puppet; it can have the same physical body as the user. Miss Xu, you can use it as long as you input spiritual power. Why don't you give it a try?"
Xie Wanning curiously took the puppet and then channeled her spiritual power into it.
The puppet suddenly grew larger, and there was a person in front of Xie Wanning who looked exactly like her.
"You just need to give the command, and it will execute it."
"Then...you go back to the rest room in my place, and don't let Master find out I went out." Xie Wanning hesitated for a moment before giving the order.
She was very skeptical that the puppet was really as magical as Qin Muyang had described.
The puppet gave a bright smile and then walked away.
"Oh, and remember to tear up the note on my desk," Xie Wanning shouted again.
"Don't worry, this puppet will have your memories, and they won't leak out," Qin Muyang said confidently.
"I hope so." After watching the puppet leave, Xie Wanning looked at Qin Muyang and smiled, "Sect Master Qin, can we set off now?"
“Of course.” Qin Muyang took out two Rank 8 teleportation talismans, and the two arrived at the black market in the blink of an eye.
Xie Wanning suddenly remembered something and started looking for something in her storage bag.
At this moment, Qin Muyang softly called out, "Miss Xu."
Xie Wanning turned her head, and a dark green veil fell into her hands.
Qin Muyang had already donned a black robe, a black mask covering the upper half of his face, his perfect jawline exuding an air of nobility, and his deep eyes sparkling with starlight.
“Miss Xu, if you wear this veil, no one else will be able to see what you look like.”
Xie Wanning put on the veil with some skepticism, and when she met Qin Muyang's admiring gaze, she felt that something was amiss.
But then Qin Muyang turned his head and strode forward.
Others can't see it, but he can.
Xie Wanning browsed the black market, bought some necessary spiritual herbs, and then stopped buying.
Qin Muyang suggested, "Miss Xu, the white cat you've been keeping here with me has been waiting for you. It's quite destructive; it almost turned the black market into a mess."
Xie Wanning gave an awkward smile. If this matter hadn't been brought up, she would have almost forgotten about the little white cat.
She hadn't brought the little white cat with her because she was in a hurry to get to the Twilight Snow Sect and was afraid of getting into danger.
"Let's go, I'll take Xiaobai back," Xie Wanning said with a light laugh.
Qin Muyang stood frozen in place.
"Sect Master Qin?"
Qin Muyang's smile faded, and he said seriously, "Miss Xu, do you remember that fox-person from before? After we bought her, you let her go. But she's been looking for you these past few days."
"Looking for me?" Xie Wanning pointed to herself, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Yes.” Qin Muyang handed the communication stone to Xie Wanning: “The fox spirit said that if you want to contact her, you should use this communication stone.”
Xie Wanning took the communication stone, and her mind went blank for a moment.
She recalled the inexplicable headache she had experienced at the auction.
"I see."
The two met Guo Futing, who handed Xie Wanning a spatial stone.
Xie Wanning entered the space stone, where a pure white kitten was lying lazily asleep.
She gently approached the kitten, but to her surprise, the kitten suddenly woke up and instantly jumped into her arms.
Xie Wanning didn't know why the kitten liked it so much, but she gently stroked it and said in a soft tone, "Little White, it's been a long time."
The kitten meowed twice, then fell asleep in her arms.
Xie Wanning left the space stone, bid farewell to Qin Muyang, and came to a clearing in the distance, where she took out the sound transmission stone.
After telling the sound transmission stone her location, Xie Wanning waited quietly.
Sudden.
A swift figure pounced on her!
