525: C525 Black Market Entrance

C525 Black Market Entrance

After leaving the Northern Mountain Range, the few people who were carrying the Hundred Spirit Fruit didn't dare to delay any longer in order to avoid unnecessary complications. They sped along, and in just half a day's time, they arrived at the location marked by Liu Yi.

"This is the entrance to the black market?" Yang Xuan looked at the scene in front of him with a strange expression.

The entrance to the black market was not in the deep mountains and forests that Yang Xuan had imagined. Instead, it was located in the prosperous area of the town.

Most importantly, Yang Xuan had come to this town before. It was the town that Yang Xuan had passed by when he went to Jiangnan to collect military funds.

This was the place where the defending troops of Profound Gate Pass, Jiangnan, and other prosperous areas had to pass through to transport resources. These cultivators actually had such guts. They actually dared to openly open a black market under the watch of the Profound Gate Pass's garrison, and even tacitly allow Barbarian Cultivator to participate in the transaction?

Even though Yang Xuan already knew that the person behind the black market must have some connection with the Barbarian Clan, he was still shocked by the courage of the black market's heir.

But fortunately, Liu Yi's words slightly dispelled a portion of Yang Xuan's worries.

"No matter how brave the black market's owner is, he wouldn't dare to openly trade in this kind of border town. Mr Yang is thinking too much." Liu Yi was speechless by Yang Xuan's words and explained, "This is not the entrance to the black market. It is just one of the communication points that must be passed by before heading to the black market."

"Communication point?" Hearing Liu Yi's explanation, Yang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he had a strong suspicion. "You mean besides here, there are many other contact points in the black market?"

Liu Yi nodded to confirm Yang Xuan's guess. "That's right. The person behind the black market has a mysterious identity and strong strength. In addition to this place, there are at least a dozen other contact points. Not only in Profound Gate Pass, but there are also a few contact points outside the city. "

"External contact? Isn't that the territory of Barbarian Clan?" Yang Xuan was shocked. The fact that there was a black market contact point in Profound Gate Pass only showed that the owner of the black market had an extraordinary background, but the territory of the Barbarian Clan had a black market contact point. It could only mean that there was definitely more than one owner behind the black market!

The person controlling the black market must have been one or more forces working together.

A mere black market, why would it attract so much attention?

Liu Yi did not know what Yang Xuan was thinking, but when he saw Yang Xuan's surprised expression, that's why the black market is the paradise for us rogue cultivators. It's because the owner of the black market is strong. That's why the black market is able to survive in the war between humans and barbarians. That's why we can trade in the black market without worry. "

"But I remember that it was because you bought a special wooden box containing the Hundred Spirit Fruit that leaked the news and attracted Liu Qingsong and the others, right?" Yang Xuan said.

Liu Yi's expression suddenly became awkward. He laughed and said, "No, no. Isn't that an accident? Who knew that Liu Qingsong actually had a connection with those Barbarian Cultivator?"

Speaking of this, Liu Yi was also full of grievance.

There was naturally no need to talk about the importance of the Hundred Spirit Fruit, a spirit fruit that could increase one's cultivation base and increase one's chances of breaking through. In order to hide the news, Liu Yi, Lau Qing and the others had also done their best, but who would have thought that something would go wrong with the Barbarian Cultivator?

After all, although the Barbarian Cultivator was involved in the trade in the black market, the Great Wei and the Barbarian Clan had accumulated a deep-seated hatred for each other over the years. The cultivators of the human and barbarian races were born with misunderstandings. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the human cultivators to collude with the Barbarian Cultivator.

However, Liu Yi had encountered such an accident. Not only did the Hundred Spirit Fruit almost die, but he also almost lost his life.

Fortunately, Liu Yi had met the benefactor, Yang Xuan.

Thinking of this, Liu Yi smiled and said to Yang Xuan with even more enthusiasm, "Come, come, Mr Yang. According to the time, the people from the black market should be arriving soon. Let's go in and wait!"

As he spoke, Liu Yi pushed open the door first and led the way in front.

Yang Xuan naturally walked in as well. Putting aside the other purpose of his trip to the black market, just the various abnormalities displayed by the black market were enough to attract Yang Xuan's attention.

Furthermore, to be able to open a black market in an important border military area like Profound Gate Pass, he had not exposed himself for so many years. Yang Xuan was quite interested in the entire process of running the black market, and even had some curiosity towards the black market contact person he was about to meet.

After Yang Xuan went in, Lau Qing and Liu Fei, who had been quietly following behind, also entered the door with familiarity.

Just as the three of them entered, with a bang, the door moved without any wind and closed itself.

An hour later.

"This time, only the four of us participated in the black market?" In the hall, Yang Xuan sat on a chair and looked at the empty room with a disappointed expression.

He originally thought that he would be able to meet other people participating in the black market here, but now, there were only him and Liu Yi in the room.

Seeing Yang Xuan's disappointed look, Liu Yi smiled and explained, "Mr Yang, don't worry. Among the rogue cultivators in Profound Gate Pass, the black market that happens once every three months is definitely the grandest and most valuable trading place. Every time, there will be at least hundreds of fellow cultivators participating, and the most number of times there will be thousands of people. I believe Mr Yang will not be disappointed at that time."2

After listening to Liu Yi's explanation, Yang Xuan did not comment. He took a sip of tea and said, " Oh? Since there are so many people participating, why is there only the four of us at this contact point, and not a single outsider?"

" This... "

Hearing Yang Xuan's question, Liu Yi's face revealed an awkward expression.

"Mr Yang, to be honest, the location of this contact point is a bit special, so normally no one would choose to go to the black market from here."

"Special?" Yang Xuan did not understand.

"It is indeed a little special." Since he had already said it, Liu Yi didn't hesitate anymore. He simply told Liu Yi everything he knew. "This town is a necessary place for the communication between Profound Gate Pass and the hinterland of Great Wei, be it the mobilization of the army or the operation of resources. We have to pass through this place. Besides that, there are also countless merchant caravans belonging to aristocratic families and sects passing through. "

"Such an important place, Profound Gate Pass naturally has to send a large number of troops to guard it, but the black market just so happens to have some shady meaning. Moreover, there are also Barbarian Cultivator with hidden identities participating in this event, so for the sake of safety... Most people will choose a remote contact point to enter the black market. "

"So that's how it is." Yang Xuan suddenly understood. Originally he was secretly shocked by the black market owner's strength and foundation, but from this matter, the black market owner was obviously afraid of the Profound Gate Pass military.

This discovery made Yang Xuan feel relieved.

"If the black market's owner can even deal with the defending troops of the Profound Gate Pass, then the entire Profound Gate Pass will rot to the bone. In the decisive battle between the human and barbarian races, the Great Wei will not be able to bear the consequences of the Profound Gate Pass's corruption."
