At that moment.
In the sky near a Grade Six Mid-Rank marketplace.
Ling Pengyun appeared without a sound.
"Interesting. I never expected the remaining Void Refinement cultivator of the White Water Immortal Sect to hide in the marketplace of a Void Refinement Mid-Stage power."
"That makes killing him rather troublesome."
"But... it isn't impossible."
Ling Pengyun sensed that the White Water Immortal Sect cultivator was inside the distant marketplace and frowned slightly.
He headed straight for the marketplace, deliberately letting his Void Refinement aura spread as he went.
That was how the cultivators guarding Yellow Sand Marketplace detected his presence.
Before long, a figure shot out of the marketplace and stopped him.
The newcomer was an old man, all skin and bones, with a sickly complexion and a head of white hair. The faint air of death clinging to him made it clear he did not have long to live.
His cultivation, however, was impressive: he had reached Void Refinement Peak Third Layer and stood just one step from Void Refinement Mid-Stage.
Even across the Clear Mist Realm, someone like him could barely be counted among the notable figures.
And now.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Yellow Ape, a Supreme Elder of the Yellow Sand Immortal Sect and the Void Refinement cultivator stationed at Yellow Sand Marketplace."
"I mean you no harm. I've only come to register your information, as the rules require of anyone entering our marketplace. I hope you'll oblige me."
Yellow Ape Old Heavenly Lord spoke politely.
Registering Ling Pengyun's information was only part of his purpose. More importantly, he wanted to warn this Void Refinement visitor that the sect was watching him, lest he enter the marketplace and cause trouble without restraint.
The Yellow Sand Immortal Sect was the Void Refinement Mid-Stage power behind the marketplace. Skilled
