Ming Cangyan dared not disobey and obeyed the order.
Ge Ya chuckled softly. With a slight thought, his armor transformed into a black robe, making him appear even more handsome, dashing, and unrestrained.
He snapped his fingers and said, "How about that? Feeling better now?"
"That's satisfying!" Xie Feng laughed. "But how did you recognize me, Senior Brother? I was only seven or eight years old when you left the sect!"
Ge Ya smiled mysteriously, "Telepathy!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Ge Ya leaned closer to him and said mysteriously, "Come on, let me show you around. Your senior brother here doesn't have any other skills, but I just love hoarding family fortunes!"
"This is a time of war, and you just ordered the Demonic Sect to withdraw its troops. I reckon the Immortal Alliance is in an uproar right now," Xie Feng said in a deep voice.
"War is not as important as a single hair on my junior brother's head."
Ge Ya shrugged slightly, then said with unbridled arrogance, "Anyway, I have plenty of assets! A mere Demonic Sect is unimportant! You'll see for yourself later!"
Xie Feng: "..."
What a spendthrift son!
Those with a large and powerful family certainly have the freedom to be capricious!
"Senior brother, where are you taking me?" Xie Feng asked curiously.
"My Immortal Market!"
"This... is your territory?"
"Yeah!"
"..."
The Immortal Market, the most mysterious trading place in the First Heavens, was a place he had visited with Yun Muchen and Changying, where he obtained the Saint's Source Crystal!
This mysterious and extraordinary place, teeming with treasures, turns out to be the territory of the Second Senior Brother...
Ge Ya said, "If you like it, the Immortal Market is yours!"
Xie Feng: "..."
Ge Ya patted him on the shoulder. "Why are you being so polite with your senior brother! It's just a piece of land, we have plenty more!"
This completely baffled Xie Feng. Where could he find such a generous senior brother? Huh? Where could he find one?!
The two arrived at the Yin-Yang Heaven of the Fifth Sequence. Stepping inside, Xie Feng saw the familiar border town, the familiar mountains and vegetation.
Xie Feng said, "To enter the Immortal Market, we need to wait for the spectacular sight of the sun and moon aligning."
Ge Ya laughed, "The Sun and Moon Conjunction is a mechanism, manipulated by someone inside the Immortal Market. Follow me, let's go straight in!"
As he spoke, he casually raised his hand, and the space was instantly torn apart. The aura of the Devil Emperor erupted, and the pitch-black space inside transformed into a golden gate!
Ge Ya pushed open the door, and golden light burst forth.
He placed his left hand on his abdomen and gracefully gestured with his right hand, "Please come in, junior brother!"
Wow!
It has to be my own senior brother!
The two arrived at the Immortal Market, where vendors lined both sides, and the buildings, like clouds, stretched into the distance.
Ge Ya said that businesses operate here year-round, so the stalls are never closed.
These stall owners come from all over the country, and every day a large number of people flock in through various channels to conduct insider trading.
On the day of the conjunction of the sun and moon, the high-end vendors all kept a low profile, selling only ordinary goods to the outside world, while only the auction house would bring out a few high-end treasures.
Listening to this, Xie Feng couldn't help but admire how shrewd they were at business!
"See that? That's the symbol of the Demonic Sect."
Ge Ya pointed to the crimson flame patterns carved on some buildings.
Xie Feng had noticed these patterns when he first came here, but he hadn't paid them any mind.
Now it seems it's actually related to the Demonic Sect!
They hadn't walked far when a fat man adorned with gold and silver came to greet them. He was round and chubby, always grinning, like a giant tumbleweed.
Ge Ya explained that the fat man was the head of the Immortal Market government.
"Your Majesty, what brings you here?" The head steward smiled obsequiously. "Your arrival has brought glory and radiance to the entire Immortal Market!"
Ge Ya nodded. "Well said, a raise!"
The head manager was overjoyed and showered Xie Feng with flattery. He looked at Xie Feng with a beaming smile, but his eyes twitched twice and his smile froze.
"This, this, this..."
His mouth was agape, and he couldn't utter a single coherent word.
Isn't that Xie Feng?!
He's number one on the previously announced Sword Immortal Ranking!
Master of the Xuanji Sect!
More importantly...
These are people from the Seven Stars Domain! The Seven Stars Domain and the Demonic Sect are currently at war!
What is this person's relationship with His Majesty?
Why was he able to stand shoulder to shoulder with His Majesty, and why did His Majesty smile so brightly at him?
In the First Heavens, who doesn't know that His Majesty is a cold-faced Mad Demon?!
The head manager was filled with anxiety.
"Let me introduce you, Xie Feng, my junior brother!" Ge Ya's lips curled up, quite pleased with himself.
Then he turned on him, pointing his finger at the head manager and berating him. "Remember your place! A businessman shouldn't be so gossipy all the time. Yan Xu is in charge of the Immortal Market, right? Didn't he teach you the art of speaking? You, three months' salary deducted!"
The head manager immediately looked worried, but dared not say a word.
I was just happy about a raise, and now, three months' salary has been deducted...
Heaven and hell are separated by a thin line...
Ge Ya raised his eyes and arrogantly ordered, "I didn't come here to reminisce with you. Bring out your best treasures and let my junior brother choose a few!"
"Yes, yes!"
The head manager was sweating profusely. He quickly nodded, feeling like he was walking on thin ice, and cautiously led the two away.
They passed through shops and buildings, eventually reaching the heart of the city and arriving at a magnificent, golden palace.
Xie Feng recalled that the previous " Treasure Exhibition Pavilion " was already quite high-end and classy, but this trading place called " Heavenly Treasure Pavilion " was even more luxurious and ostentatious!
This is an auction house exclusively for top-tier individuals; it does not cater to ordinary people.
As the Demon Devil Emperor of the Demonic Sect and the biggest boss in the Immortal Market, Ge Ya naturally had no obstacles in his passage, especially with the respectful guidance of his chief supervisor.
As they entered the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion, Xie Feng casually asked, "Senior Brother, the Immortal Market possesses so many extraordinary items; where do they source their goods?"
Ge Ya made no attempt to hide anything and readily declared, " The First Sequence!"
Xie Feng said, " The Second Sequence is enough to dominate the Upper Realm, so what will the First Sequence be like?"
Ge Ya said, "When the war ends, I'll take you there! Tsk, I'm used to calling myself 'I' and can't seem to shake it off. Please bear with me, Junior Brother."
Xie Feng nodded.
It was just a self-proclaimed title; he didn't take it to heart.
Ah, it's so great to have a senior brother! Although he used to tease me a lot when we were kids, now that we're older, he's truly protective of me when I'm in trouble, and he's genuinely generous when there's something good to be had!
Following Ge Ya, he felt like a child again, free from worries and burdens. He could simply follow along, and his senior brother would stuff his pockets full of candy...
The head manager led them to a magnificent secret room, where hundreds of tall shelves were displayed, each containing a sandalwood box, and the shelves stretched as far as the eye could see.
Each of these wooden boxes contains a rare treasure.
The head steward took out three wooden boxes and placed them on a priceless jade table in the center.
He opened the box, and a dazzling light shone out, instantly filling the entire secret room with Spiritual Qi, making everyone feel refreshed.
