Chapter 574: Chapter 253: Femme Fatale, Tiger-faced Group of the Lifeless Sect (2)

But just then, the associate who had previously contacted Thirteen came over and handed them an invitation.

’East Cliff City Sea and Land Trade Fair.’

Xu Guang looked at the name on the invitation, somewhat curious.

"Mr. Thirteen sent this to you, saying that your timing is perfect. The Sea and Land Trade Fair is a grand event in East Cliff City, with many eye-catching items."

Xu Guang nodded in gratitude.

Suddenly, he looked at Bai Xiaozhu, "I think I know where to find this Deep in the Clouds senior sister."

Bai Xiaozhu’s eyes lit up too, "I’ve heard of this Sea and Land Trade Fair. It’s quite possible Wei Yueyi will be there."

Invitations to the Sea and Land Trade Fair are quite rare. This counts as a favor from Mr. Thirteen.

The next day.

Xu Guang and Bai Xiaozhu dressed up and headed towards the port where the Sea and Land Trade Fair was held.

The port stone workshop was elegant and serene, with exotic trees and rare grasses planted between the courtyards. Stone materials scattered all around, resembling strange stones and miniatures of mountain peaks, arranged with exquisite taste.

Everything was meticulously arranged, with babbling springs flowing through, vine-covered gazebos, stones dotted all around, delivering a fresh feeling, like a return to nature.

Soon, led by two beautiful maidservants, Xu Guang and Bai Xiaozhu stepped into the trade fair.

This was East Cliff City’s grand event, with a lot of clutter but mostly not anything of high value.

While walking, they purchased some goods, but nothing too precious.

The Sea and Land Trade Fair was a place where people of all sorts converged, making it an ideal spot for gathering information.

Xu Guang unexpectedly heard from a few passersby about the Feng Qing Stone Mine outside Beiji City.

However, it wasn’t the mine belonging to the Golden Bull Chamber of Commerce in Celestial Cyan Town, but the mine of the Purple Mountain Chamber of Commerce.

The people from Purple Mountain Chamber of Commerce unearthed an Ancient Stone Man in the mine, concealing enormous secrets within.

Xu Guang and Bai Xiaozhu whispered gossiping.

"Isn’t this a bit coincidental? Boss, do you think it’s the people hidden in Celestial Cyan Town who released the news?"

Purple Mountain Chamber of Commerce found a treasure and even people in East Cliff City three thousand miles away heard about it, which clearly wasn’t normal.

Xu Guang shook his head; this was hard to conclude.

Suddenly, the crowd parted, and a man and woman walked over, the man was charming and handsome, the woman graceful like a fairy, making even pearls and jade pale in comparison.

They were spotless, capable of cleansing mundane dust, their steps light, bringing forth an aura of divinity like gods.

"The Saint Heir and Saintess of East King Valley!"

Someone whispered.

But at this moment, the Saint Heir and Saintess of East King Valley smiled as they walked towards a person.

It was a woman with a white veil on her face, and just at a glance, Xu Guang determined this white-veiled woman was likely Wei Yueyi they were looking for.

Indeed.

"Yao Xi and Yao Mu from East King Valley greet Senior Sister Wei."

Wei Yueyi frowned, looked at the two of them, just nodded slightly, then turned back to continue looking at items.

Yao Xi and Yao Mu showed no sign of indignation, simply following quietly behind her, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.

"Boss, this Deep in the Clouds’ senior sister has quite a strong aura."

Bai Xiaozhu looked on with a hint of envy.

Wei Yueyi’s demeanor and presence were indeed strong. Female disciples from Emperor North Academy were already excellent, but in front of Wei Yueyi, they seemed to pale in comparison.

"Alright, I’ll go over and chat with her. You wait for me outside."

Soon.

Wei Yueyi entered a secluded space, quietly watching the outside.

Xu Guang’s figure slowly appeared.

Seeing her waiting as if expecting him, Xu Guang was unsurprised, simply clasping his hands and speaking, "Emperor North Academy’s Xu Guang greets Deep in the Clouds’ Senior Sister Wei."

There was a hint of surprise in Wei Yueyi’s eyes. Given her cultivation, she could ascertain that apart from Yao Xi and Yao Mu, there was someone else watching her. She intentionally came here to see who it was.

Unexpectedly, it was someone from Emperor North Academy.

"Is Senior Sister Wei searching for Lifeless Sect demons?"

Wei Yueyi’s gaze instantly turned cold, falling upon Xu Guang like sharp blades.

"Our Senior Brother Jin from Emperor North Academy has a mine, recently a group of villains appeared, Senior Brother Jin suspects it’s the Lifeless Sect demons coming ashore, specifically requesting Senior Sister to eradicate the evil spirits."

Wei Yueyi quietly looked at Xu Guang, "Jin Buhuan? That fatty? Are you treating me as a thug?"

Xu Guang shook his head, "Absolutely no such intentions. We merely heard that Senior Sister has been pursuing Lifeless Sect demons recently and wanted to seek Senior Sister’s opinion."

After some silence, Wei Yueyi spoke softly.

"I recall Emperor North Academy disciples aren’t supposed to get involved in disputes with the Lifeless Sect. Why are you eager to kill those people?"

Nobody was a fool, Wei Yueyi knew Xu Guang went out of his way to find her likely not simply to kill Lifeless Sect members.

Xu Guang secretly praised her, then disclosed the matter about the secret stash.

This was Senior Brother Jin’s intention.

He didn’t know the relationship between Jin Buhuan and Wei Yueyi, but Jin Buhuan confidently told Xu Guang that if Wei Yueyi knew, she definitely wouldn’t keep it a secret. If she asked for the reason, just tell her truthfully.

Wei Yueyi thought for a moment.

"I am pursuing the Tiger-faced Group members of the Lifeless Sect, led by the third envoy who has First Grade Cultivation, nearing Nirvana Transformation. However, I suspect that behind them is an elder from Tiger-faced Group who has undergone the second Nirvana Transformation."

Xu Guang was shocked upon hearing this, Second Nirvana Transformation elder?

That damn it.

...

Half an hour later.

Xu Guang and Bai Xiaozhu left East Cliff City, heading towards Celestial Cyan Mine.

"Boss, what did Wei Yueyi say about this?"
