Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons-Chapter 511 - 465 Say It Directly Next Time (6K6 No Time

Without many words, until the newly healed wound on his forehead split open again.

He gasped for breath with effort.

To Senior Shen, it might have just been a transaction with the Fairy of Baohua.

But to him, Xiao Yuanlin, it was the vengeance for his wife’s life and death.

“This…”

Wen Qiujin heard the noise and glanced back, then turned his gaze to Shen Yi.

“An old acquaintance.”

Shen Yi did not pay too much attention, simply signaling Jing Jingsong with his eyes.

He had previously thought of making another profit off the Fairy of Baohua.

But he found it too troublesome.

Unexpectedly, it had come knocking at his door; the Nanyang Treasure Land lacked everything except for space.

“Hmph.”

Zhang Ye watched the high-level cultivator of the Return to Void Sixth Layer slip away quietly and took Xiao Yuanlin to a quiet place, immediately understanding, and turned around with a smile to the young cultivator, “You can keep your lousy land to breed youngsters, I’m not interested!”

He took out the payment given by the Fairy of Baohua and hurriedly ran toward the direction where Xiao Yuanlin had left.

This was just an insignificant commotion.

Wen Qiujin quickly redirected the topic and continued to guide Shen Yi around the Alliance.

At this moment, the cultivator who had left earlier hurried back.

His expression was even more unsightly.

He approached Wen Qiujin and continued to convey silently, “Our letter hadn’t even touched the water when it was torn to pieces, and another treasure ship has been sunk. It looks like they’ve already besieged the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance.”

“This doesn’t seem like a casual raid; it’s obviously hostile.”

“…”

Wen Qiujin listened quietly, his palms slowly clenching inside his sleeves.

After pondering for a moment, he still couldn’t understand where the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance had offended the Aquatic Race recently; such a big matter would not be concealed by his subordinates.

Moreover, not accepting letters conveyed a somewhat do-or-die attitude.

Though the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance was large, its own strength was not considered strong, having recruited quite a few cultivators in the Late Stage of Returning Void, but they were also at the Seventh Layer.

Compared to living cultivators, Wen Qiujin trusted inanimate objects more.

He invested heavily in the Great Formation on the floating island, and without the complete power of Returning Void, it would be impossible to break through.

But with the Aquatic Race surrounded nearby, business couldn’t proceed.

“First, command them to stop the ships; let the third one go take a look.”

Wen Qiujin withdrew his gaze, but this time he couldn’t seem to muster a smile.

He had already searched for reasons on himself.

But couldn’t think of any.

If ruling out the factors of the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance, what remains possible…

He stared seriously at Shen Yi.

The latter’s sudden visit to the floating island seemed rather abrupt, and he didn’t even mention any tribute at the meal, leaving Wen Qiujin with no chance to use his prepared excuses.

Everything in the world had a reason.

It was unlikely the visitor had come for no reason just to sit for a while.

Hoping it wasn’t trouble that saw the potent defenses of the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance as appealing.

“Is there a problem?”

Shen Yi glanced sideways for eye contact.

After all, he was a guest, and he had no intention of eavesdropping on the other’s silent communication—in fact, he didn’t currently have the means to.

“No problem.”

Wen Qiujin chuckled and shook his head.

Merchants hate trouble but dislike being shortchanged even more.

The idea of using someone’s power for one’s own gain always came at a cost. Although he had given a tribute, he still had to protect the other party in return, which sounded somewhat absurd.

But in the region of Nan Hong, there wasn’t much reason to speak of, to begin with.

However, his smile only lasted less than an hour.

After Wen Qiujin and Shen Yi’s party had just finished touring the Alliance market, the guard came rushing for the third time.

This time with bloodshot eyes.

Without using silent communication, he directly said, “Reporting to the Hierarch, the third has been captured.”

The moment the words fell, neither the members of the Nanyang Sect nor others reacted, but the cultivators of the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance all changed their expressions drastically.

The so-called third was one of the seven sponsors whom the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance paid a great price to invite.

All were powerful cultivators at the Seventh Layer of Returning Void.

Renowned figures in the Late Stage of their journey.

In the entire region of Nan Hong, they were well-known figures.

To the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance, losing even one was a significant loss.

“…”

Wen Qiujin clearly hadn’t contemplated the seriousness of the situation.

How could matters involving the Late Stage of Returning Void take place without a stir, yet now this scenario was laid out in front of him.

As if reading his doubt.

The guard cast a disgruntled glance toward the members of the Nanyang Sect, then produced a hurriedly written letter from inside his sleeve.

The letter bore no signature, only a line of blood-written words.

“Hand over Shen Yi, or the Shuiyue Commerce Alliance will cease to exist in Nan Hong.”

After reading the letter.

Wen Qiujin closed his eyes and when he opened them again, his gaze held a touch of indignation.

He looked again at the young man beside him: “I don’t recall such a person in the Alliance. May I ask if you are acquainted with Shen Yi?”

Merchants dislike trouble most, but they also hate to be taken advantage of.
