Chapter 2500: Chapter 2503: News of the Canghai Trade Alliance

"Jin Wushu, you’ve brought shame to the Gold-devouring Rat Clan!"

Jin Kai roared in anger, his figure flashed, and once more charged toward the young man.

Jin Wenhao and the other two stood aside, watching coldly, letting Jin Kai beat up Jin Wushu.

Jin Wushu knew he was in the wrong and didn’t dare to fight back, holding his head as Jin Kai wildly attacked him.

"Enough! Take him to the meeting point and hand him over to the elder!"

After a while, Jin Wenhao stepped forward to grab Jin Kai, gave Jin Wushu an icy glare, and spoke coldly.

Bang!

"Bastard! How did our clan produce such an ungrateful beast like you!"

Even as Jin Kai was pulled away by Jin Wenhao, he still gave Jin Wushu a fierce kick.

"Let’s go!"

Jin Wenhao casually called out, "You two, take him along. After all, he’s our clansman, and he needs to apologize to Brother Jiang Chen in person for this matter!"

Patting Jin Kai on the shoulder, Jin Wenhao’s figure flashed as he flew forward, with Jin Kai leaping to follow.

However, the direction they flew was different from Yan Hu and his group. He knew that chasing them now would be useless and could possibly spark a bigger conflict, so they had to reach the meeting point first and let the elder decide.

The other two young men walked over to the barely conscious Jin Wushu with looks of disgust, grabbed his legs, and dragged him forward.

...

At the junction of the inner and central regions, there was also a trading town.

This had become a routine after the arrival of the Necrotic Tide. Whenever it came, the eight great tribes would join with other powerful tribes to establish trading towns at the junctions of the outer, inner, and central regions to acquire Spirit Stones and Spiritual Pearls.

Of course, in these transactions, you don’t just have to use Spiritual Pearls. If you can offer something else that the seller is interested in, that’s possible too.

"One pearl per person to enter the town... Warlord Yan Li?!"

At the entrance of the trading town, four figures walked toward it, and the person responsible for collecting the entrance fee from the eight great tribes habitually asked for payment. But when he saw who was approaching, he immediately put on a smile.

"You there, pay more attention. All the major nearby forces have arrived. You’re here to collect Spirit Stones for more than just the stones themselves; don’t lose sight of the bigger picture!"

Yan Li scolded the man at the gate with a glance.

"Although each trading town is maintained jointly by the eight great tribes, the entrance fee collection is allocated to each tribe to avoid unnecessary problems caused by uneven distribution in the end!"

Yun Hai quietly explained to Jiang Chen and Yan Hu.

Both nodded in understanding; this way, the income from the entrance fees for each town wouldn’t need to be split, and shenanigans couldn’t easily occur; it would solely depend on luck.

It had been five days since the battle with Qi Shan and his group. Jiang Chen had fallen unconscious at the time, and Yan Hu and the others found a forest spot to wait for Jiang Chen to wake up, waiting for three days. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Upon waking, Jiang Chen spent a day recovering, and the Spirit Stones consumed made Yan Li and Yun Hai quite surprised.

Jiang Chen had never depleted the power in his body so thoroughly as in that battle, and even the Blood Fiend Liquid Cluster in his Sea of Consciousness had shrunk a bit.

Yet such depletion was a unique form of training for Jiang Chen. When all his power was used up and then gathered again, it made him more clearly aware of and accurately control his strength.

Currently, Jiang Chen’s spiritual power was enough to break through the boundary of the Void Refinement Realm, but since he hadn’t yet condensed the Great Dao Wheel of Light for the Lei Ting and The Path of Ice,

he wanted to wait until he could complete the condensation of all the Great Dao Wheels of Light before making a breakthrough. This way, during tribulation, all the Great Dao Wheels of Light could be cleansed by the energy of Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body.

"Hehe, Warlord, rest assured, I haven’t missed any of the crucial information!"

The man, having been reprimanded, quickly put on an embarrassed smile and offered proudly, "Latest news, Spirit Sword Sect’s Third Elder Qi Tian had his arm severed by someone and fled to the Abandoned Plains..."

Yan Li was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, turned to glance at Jiang Chen, with an inexplicable smile appearing in his eyes.

Jiang Chen shrugged, not commenting.

Yan Li was about to interrupt the man’s words, as he was an actual participant in this event. The person who severed Qi Shan’s arm was right beside him, and that severed arm was in this guy’s Space Ring, so there was no need to hear second-hand gossip.

However, the man’s next words immediately stopped him from speaking.

"But when Qi Shan fled to the outer region, he encountered the elders from the Qingyang Sect and Yuanling Sect, and was invited back by those from the two sects. The three sects are now cooperating, preparing to jointly explore the soon-to-appear Saint’s Relic."

The man spoke with a full smile, "Warlord, see, I wasn’t slacking."

Yan Li nodded gravely, giving Jiang Chen a side glance with a hint of worry in his eyes.

If it were only the Spirit Sword Sect, Yan Li would not have been afraid at all, but the three sects joining forces posed quite a problem.

Even Wind Thunder Valley wouldn’t dare offend all three sects at once. Don’t be fooled by the fact that the eight great tribes have united to establish trading towns; each is still thinking about eliminating the others. If Wind Thunder Valley truly made a mortal enemy of three great sects, they wouldn’t hesitate to collaborate with them to destroy Wind Thunder Valley. This is something bound to happen, no doubt about it!

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, but there was no trace of fear in his eyes. After going through the invasion battles on Yuan Star, there was nothing left that could make him afraid.

"By the way! Warlord, the people from the Canghai Trade Alliance have also arrived. They’ve made a grand entrance, establishing auction houses in all the trading towns in the inner and central regions."

The man suddenly remembered and spoke with a lighthearted laugh, "The towns at the outer and inner region junction weren’t even considered by them, and they’ve openly stated that any kind of Spiritual Treasure, regardless of how it was obtained, can be put up for auction at their facility."

"Hmm? The Canghai Trade Alliance is quite bold, aren’t they?"

Yan Li’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.

"Hehe, I’ve heard it’s because the competition between the Canghai Trade Alliance candidates is becoming fiercer. Several candidates are trying various ways to improve their influence, and holding such auctions is a strategy by one of the candidates to enhance their influence here!"

The man explained with a cheeky smile, then smirked, "But the auction has been going on for three days, and the results aren’t great. Even though the Canghai Trade Alliance displayed two Saint Experts, not many dare to auction items that can’t see the light of day due to fear of being killed by their enemies.

That Pang Guang is probably going to lose face this time!"
