Now that Chen Xiao has come here and found Li Feng, it already carries a hint of coercion.
Li Feng understood Chen Xiao's plan. If he, the young city lord of Liyang City, joined Chen Xiao and appeared in Moon City at the same time, then everyone would associate Liyang City with the Chen Clan of Moon-Gazing City.
In other words, now that Li Feng has agreed to tour Moon City with Chen Xiao, it means that he has joined forces with the Chen Clan on behalf of Liyang City.
Under any other circumstances, Li Feng would never have agreed, but now, Liyang City is in a state of internal and external troubles, and the entire Li Family is in danger of being replaced by the Wind-Driving Sect at any time.
Moreover, Chen Xiao's current identity is that of the cousin of the City Lord's Mansion Moon City. Getting together with Chen Xiao is tantamount to indirectly currying favor with Moon City, which is what Li Feng values.
Moon City boasts countless pavilions and towers, numerous shops, and bustling crowds, making it far superior to smaller places like Moon-Gazing City and Daiyue City.
It was clear that this was not Li Feng's first time visiting Moon City; he was extremely familiar with the Moon City's layout and size.
At this moment, Li Feng, along with the two Heavenly Immortal from Liyang City, followed Chen Xiao, and the four of them wandered aimlessly through the streets and alleys of Moon City.
" Moon City boasts countless scenic spots, and numerous large trading houses and markets. I wonder where you, Third Young Master, wish to visit?"
The four walked for most of the day. When Li Feng saw that Chen Xiao was just looking around without any particular purpose, he couldn't help but ask.
"Oh? The market?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment, then asked, "If I'm not mistaken, Liyang City should also have its own shops here."
Upon hearing Chen Xiao's words, Li Feng was taken aback at first, and then said, "Within a radius of 100,000 li, all the major immortal cities, sects, and Lineage have their own shops in this Moon City, and my Liyang City is no exception."
" Liyang City is the second Great Immortal city within a radius of 100,000 li. Your shops here must be quite large, right?"
Chen Xiao Chen for a moment, then asked again.
"Well, it used to be quite large, but a major upheaval occurred in Liyang City thirty years ago, which greatly reduced the strength of my Li Family and weakened our influence outside the city. The shops in Liyang City have been taken over by the Wind-Driving Sect."
At this point, Li Feng sighed helplessly.
"Oh."
Chen Xiao nodded upon hearing this.
Chen Xiao knew about what happened in Liyang City.
In Chen Xiao's previous life, this immortal city, the second largest within a radius of 100,000 li, had suffered a great calamity. Almost the entire city was razed to the ground. If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of an immortal city was extremely thick, almost comparable to a high-grade immortal artifact, the entire city would probably have been completely destroyed.
The Li Family family, the city lord's Lineage, was completely wiped out, with the entire clan exterminated.
The instigator of all this was the Wind-Driving Sect. The Wind-Driving Sect had always harbored ill intentions towards Liyang City, and the Li Family was a stumbling block for the Wind-Driving Sect.
Chen Xiao didn't know how many pawns the Nangong Clan had here. He had to carefully consider whether to choose allies or recruit subordinates. The Li Family of Liyang City, whose entire Lineage had been wiped out in his previous life, was exactly the kind of family Chen Xiao wanted to seek now.
If history had unfolded as it should have, the Li Family would have been destroyed by the Wind-Driving Sect three years later, which would have been the year after the Chen Clan was destroyed by the Nangong Clan.
Chen Xiao is now beginning to suspect that the Wind-Driving Sect is actually a pawn of the Nangong Clan.
Of course, this is still just a suspicion, and everything remains to be proven.
"Then let's go check out the shops of the Wind-Driving Sect."
Immediately, Chen Xiao waved his hand, and a pool of silver waves slowly rose into the air. This was a small Moon Boat, only at the level of a top-grade Spirit Artifact, which was not uncommon in Moon City.
As for the Crane Talisman Crane Talisman, it's far too conspicuous. Everyone will know about it wherever it goes, and soon Chen Xiao won't be able to do anything.
"Good"
Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Li Feng did not hesitate. In any case, this Chen San was the cousin of the City Lord's Mansion. With him around, at least in this Moon City, they could act with impunity.
It would be good to cause some trouble at the Wind-Driving Sect's shops later. Li Feng had long heard of Chen Xiao's reputation as a super playboy.
Moon City is the largest immortal city within a radius of 100,000 li, and also the largest commercial city, with immortals coming and going in an endless stream.
In the southwest of Moon City lies a commercial hub, home to hundreds of markets of varying sizes, making it arguably the most bustling area in Moon City.
' Flame Silk Market ' is the second largest market in Moon City, mostly catering to forces outside the city, while the largest market, ' Bright Moon Market ', is dominated by the major local forces of Moon City.
The shops of the Wind-Driving Sect and the major families and powerful Lineage of Liyang City are all located in this Flame Silk Market.
In the market, Chen Xiao, Li Feng, and the two Celestial Heavenly Immortal from the Li Family all changed their appearances. Chen Xiao casually drew three Yin Overcast Sky Paper Talisman and slapped them on, making it difficult for outsiders to detect their true nature.
The Flame Silk Market covers a vast area within Moon City, spanning nearly a hundred miles. Immortals come and go in an endless stream, their cries of vendors and the sounds of bargaining filling the air.
"Third Young Master, the tallest golden pavilion in the center of this Flame Silk Market is the shop of my Li Family that was seized by the Wind-Driving Sect."
Upon entering the Flame Silk Market, Li Feng pointed to the most eye-catching building in the center of the market and spoke, Li Feng tone filled with hatred.
The shop in the Flame Silk Market looked to be more than ten stories high and occupied a vast area. Compared to it, the other shops were simply thatched huts.
"That shop wasn't originally owned solely by the Li Family, was it?"
Chen Xiao was slightly puzzled. In Moon City, land prices were extremely high. How could the Li family, a Li Family, afford to buy such a large shop, let alone build such a large pavilion?
"That shop was originally purchased jointly by all the Lineage in Liyang City for the purpose of common development, with my Li Family taking the lion's share. However, thirty years ago, a major event occurred in Liyang City, and all the experts stationed in the shop withdrew, causing chaos throughout the Liyang City. The Wind-Driving Sect took advantage of that opportunity to seize the shop."
"Isn't Moon City doing anything about it?"
Chen Xiao frowned.
" The Moon City Commercial Association Alliance also intervened, but the Wind-Driving Sect kept making excuses, and now it's all come to nothing. It's likely that the Wind-Driving Sect used some kind of treasure to bribe the Moon City Commercial Association Alliance."
On one side, a Heavenly Immortal being from the Li Family spoke with a helpless tone.
Chen Xiao pursed his lips and remained silent.
The group of four, aboard the Moon Boat, had arrived in front of the golden shop.
The four large, gleaming golden characters, " Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion," are inlaid on this enormous shop.
When the four of them disembarked from the Moon Boat and arrived in front of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, they saw many immortals and Mahayana Realm Void Immortal coming and going in an endless stream.
Chen Xiao did a quick calculation and found that in just ten breaths, hundreds of people had entered and exited this Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion.
Bang
Just as the four arrived at the entrance of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, they suddenly saw a black figure fly out from the main entrance of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion.
When Chen Xiao looked closely, he saw an old man with a cultivation level of the Mahayana Realm, wearing a black short shirt, lying on the ground. His sternum was sunken in, and he could only exhale, not inhale.
Chen Xiao could see that the old man's Dantian had been pierced by a sword light, and his Nascent Soul had been shattered. Even if he survived, he would lose all his cultivation.
"Pah! A penniless pauper! Doesn't he know his place? Daring to the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion? He deserves to die!"
At this moment, a disdainful voice rang out from within the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion. Although some of the immortals around saw the old man lying on the ground, they all remained indifferent and showed no intention of offering any help.
"Is this considered a case of a big store bullying its customers?"
Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, then walked towards the old man.
Li Feng and the others were stunned by Chen Xiao's actions. In the Immortal World Realm, which immortal would avoid getting involved in such matters and mind their own business?
Chen Xiao approached the old man in the short shirt and casually slapped a blue talisman onto his body. A faint shimmer appeared, and the life force that was about to disappear returned to his body. The shattered sternum was completely repaired under the effect of the blue talisman.
However, Chen Xiao was powerless to help the already shattered Nascent Soul.
"Senior, what just happened? Why were you treated this way?"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly.
"Thank you for saving me, young man. As for what happened just now... it's all my fault for being too greedy; I have no one else to blame."
The old man sighed softly.
I would like to hear the details.
Chen Xiao took out a elixir from his pocket, poured it into the old man's mouth, and then asked.
"This..."
After taking the pill, the old man felt his true essence regain its vitality and begin to circulate again. He understood that the elixir had given him hope to cultivate again, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
"This humble old Sun Yang, thanks you for saving me, young master."
Sun Yang spoke excitedly. Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't speak but just looked at him, he immediately realized what had happened and explained, "This is what happened. A few days ago, I obtained a ' Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb ' with a cultivation level of nine thousand years by fortuitous opportunity. I took it to this Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, hoping to exchange it for some Heavenly Mystery Spirit Stone. However, the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion, seeing that I was just a Rogue Cultivator with no background, found some reasons to lower the value of the immortal grass. In the end, they were only willing to offer one hundred Heavenly Mystery Spirit Stone. How could I sell it? During the argument, I was beaten out by the immortals of the Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion. If it weren't for your rescue, young master, I'm afraid my life would have been in danger."
"I see."
Chen Xiao listened to Sun Yang's account, a slight thought stirred within him.
"That ' Pearl Orchid Curtain Immortal Herb ' is the main ingredient for refining the seventh-grade immortal pill ' Kunyan Three-Origin Pill,' and its value is 50,000 Heavenly Mystery Spirit Stone. This Wind-Driving Treasure Pavilion is truly going too far."
Chen Xiao stood up and said calmly.
