Jiang Wanyue's keen perception

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, her gaze swept over the ten guests on the mountaintop one by one.

No one responded, but many people nodded slightly to her.

A moment later, the middle-aged woman spoke again.

"Since no one has any objections, let's activate the Teleportation Array now."

After saying this, she waited a few more moments, and seeing that no one objected, she flew up to the sky above the high platform.

The middle-aged woman raised her hand and a large number of Low-grade Immortal Spirit Stones appeared, falling into the circular groove at the edge of the Teleportation Array.

Then, she took out another Formation Plate and began to perform Formation Plate Hand Seals.

The Teleportation Array immediately emitted a blue spiritual light.

"Distinguished guests, please enter the formation," the middle-aged woman said.

Without hesitation, the ten people, including Song Wen, leaped onto the high platform.

The Teleportation Array's light grew stronger, completely engulfing the ten figures on the stage.

"Teleportation is about to begin. Distinguished guests, please refrain from any movement."

As the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Song Wen suddenly felt a strong sense of weightlessness wash over him.

Once the feeling of weightlessness disappeared and he felt solid ground beneath his feet again, what Song Wen saw before him was still a blinding blue aura.

But the light gradually faded, and the surrounding scenery slowly became clearer.

He found himself in the center of a square, surrounded by high walls and numerous palaces.

Outside these palaces are bustling, vibrant streets.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to Southern Tomb City. The teleportation has ended. Please proceed to your respective locations." An aged voice rang out.

Song Wen looked closely and saw that the speaker was an elderly man with white hair and beard. Behind the old man stood several guards.

The ten people in the Teleportation Array all walked towards the old man.

The old man continued, "Distinguished guests, this is the headquarters of my Big Dipper Trading House in Southern Tomb City. In Southern Tomb City, there are many shops operated by my Big Dipper Trading House, dealing in elixirs, spiritual materials, Cultivation Method, talismans, formations, and more. You are welcome to visit us if you have any needs in the future. Furthermore, if you wish to return to Central Mu City, you can always come here to use the Teleportation Array for only 150,000 Low-grade Immortal Spirit Stones."

"But..."

The old man changed the subject and continued.

"I would like to ask you, esteemed guests, to leave this place now. This is a vital location for my Big Dipper Trading House, and we cannot linger here."

After saying this, the old man led the ten people and flew towards a tall gate in the southwest corner of the square.

Led by the old man, the ten people quickly passed through numerous halls and exited the Big Dipper Trading House's premises.

"Distinguished guests, please make yourselves at home. I will take my leave now."

The old man then led several guards back to the merchant guild's headquarters.

Song Wen and the others also wanted to disperse.

At this moment, a man in brocade robes suddenly spoke up.

"Fellow Daoists, you must all be here for the Fengdu Poison Sea, right? I Dao Lord Wuya of the Clear Balance Sect, and I wish to invite like-minded individuals to join me. Would you all be willing to linger for a moment so we can find a secluded place to discuss this in detail?"

Dao Lord Wuya at the Lingxu Dao Immortal Peak. Beside him stood a female cultivator at the Late Lingxu Dao Immortal Stage, who was clearly an old acquaintance or fellow disciple.

"So it's Dao Lord Wuya, I've long admired your name." A scholar-like man spoke up, "However, my purpose in coming to Southern Tomb City is not for the Fengdu Poison Sea, but for other important matters, so I will take my leave now. If we have the opportunity to meet again in the future, I will certainly have a long chat with you over wine."

The scholar bowed to the crowd, then turned and left, quickly disappearing into the flow of people.

Then, three more people took their leave one after another, leaving for various reasons.

Only six people remained on the scene.

"Dao Lord Wuya, I am Yao Jun, a Rogue Cultivator. This is my friend Shao Geng."

A burly female cultivator spoke up and introduced a gray-robed man beside her.

The female cultivator who called herself 'Yao Jun' spoke again.

"To be honest, Daoist Lord, we two have come for the Fengdu Poison Sea. Since you have invited us, we are naturally interested in hearing your plans."

"Fellow Daoist Yao Jun, you're too kind," Wuya replied with a smile, then his gaze fell on Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue.

But he only glanced at Song Wen briefly before fixing his gaze on Jiang Wanyue.

Jiang Wanyue's black robe and mask concealed all her aura, making it impossible for anyone present to discern her true cultivation level, which naturally drew even more attention.

Song Wen only revealed his cultivation level at the Late Lingxu Dao Immortal Stage —his identity as 'Gu Huang' —and this was the level of cultivation he had always displayed to the outside world.

"I don't have the habit of cooperating with complete strangers."

Jiang Wanyue responded coldly, then glanced at Song Wen with her eyes hidden behind her mask before taking to the air and flying away into the distance.

Song Wen followed immediately, without even exchanging a word with Dao Lord Wuya and the others.

Southern Tomb City is not small. Although it cannot compare to Central Mu City, it is larger than Ink Wind City.

Song Wen and Jiang Wanyue did not stay in the city, but headed directly south.

After leaving the city, Jiang Wanyue took off her cloak and mask.

What are your thoughts on Dao Lord Wuya and the others?

Song Wen said, "Such a hastily initiated invitation is naturally unreliable. If we really enter the Fengdu Poison Sea, we'll probably have to be wary of our companions. However, this incident does show that there are quite a few Lingxu Dao Immortal heading to the Fengdu Poison Sea."

Jiang Wanyue said, "There are quite a few people. But the world of drugs is vast, and whether we'll encounter them is another matter."

Song Wen said, "I have a topographical map of a small area in the northwest of the Poison Sea, marked with the locations where heavenly materials and earthly treasures and heavenly materials and earthly treasures names. Would you like to go and explore, Madam?"

"Oh? You even have this kind of intelligence!" Jiang Wanyue raised an eyebrow. "Let me see it."

Song Wen took out a Jade Slip and handed it over.

Jiang Wanyue took it and probed it with her Divine Sense.

The Jade Slip contained not only the topographical map described by Song Wen, but also records of some patterns and dangers of the miasma changes within the Fengdu Poison Sea.

Jiang Wanyue frowned slightly and said again.

"If I remember correctly, the Purple Star Immortal Sect always explores the Fengdu Poison Sea in this northwestern region. Where did you get this information? Could it be related to the Purple Star Immortal Sect?"

"Exactly."

Song Wen saw nothing to hide and nodded in agreement.

But what was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Jiang Wanyue suddenly realized something, abruptly stopped her escape, and even forced Song Wen to stop as well.

Her eyes were fixed on Song Wen.

"Gu Huang, tell me honestly, do you know Bai Jinge, the daughter of the leader of the Purple Star Immortal Sect?"

"Why does Madam ask such a question?" Song Wen countered.

"Before we boarded the Teleportation Array, I noticed you staring at Bai Jinge for a long time. At the time, I just thought you were captivated by her beauty, but now I think you probably already know her, and this information likely came from Bai Jinge herself."

Although Jiang Wanyue only expressed her conjecture, her words were full of confidence.

Song Wen was taken aback.

I was shocked by Jiang Wanyue's keen insight.

It wasn't surprising that Jiang Wanyue knew Bai Jinge; however, it was truly unexpected that she could guess most of the situation just from those few glances in front of the Teleportation Array.

He paused for a moment, then did not respond immediately.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanyue said.

"It seems I was right."

"Tell me the truth, what is your relationship with Bai Jinge? Why would she hand over such valuable information so easily?"

"For the past twenty-odd years, you've never contacted me. Could it be that you've been having an affair with her?"
