Chapter 650 (1/2)

Chapter 650: Chapter 277: Encounter the Trade Fair Again_2 Chapter 650: Chapter 277: Encounter the Trade Fair Again_2 Lin Jing followed the two sisters into the merchant shop and was immediately greeted by members of the Yan Family.

Yan Yue briefly introduced Lin Jing, and then led him through the shop towards the back.

Behind the shop was a fairly large courtyard.

This courtyard was where the Yan Family members rested while in Bihai City.

When the three of them arrived, the old ancestor of the Yan Family and Yan Ming had not yet returned.

It wasn’t until an hour later that Yan Ming came back to this place.

At that time, Lin Jing was chatting with the two sisters when he heard Yan Ming’s hearty laughter:

“Haha…”

“Brother Lin, it has indeed been a long time since we last met,” Yan Ming said.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Jing immediately turned his head and saw Yan Ming approaching.

“As soon as I got back to the shop, I was told that Brother Lin had arrived.

It’s been a long time since you’ve appeared, Brother Lin, and your visit today is truly a pleasant surprise,” Yan Ming said with a smile.

Lin Jing stood up and went to meet Yan Ming.

“Brother Yan!”

“I’ve just returned from the Nanming Domain when I ran into Yan Xing and Yan Yue.

I thought it had been a long time since I’d seen you, so I came over to check in,” Lin Jing said.

At that time, Yan Ming came over to Lin Jing, sized him up, and then said:

“Indeed!”

“Brother Lin, you went to the Nanming Domain and ended up staying there for over twenty years; that’s quite a long time,” Yan Ming remarked.

Lin Jing nodded:

“I hadn’t planned to stay so long, but some matters arose that caused the delay,” he replied.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ming quickly asked:

“Did you encounter any trouble?”

“If there’s trouble, Brother Lin, feel free to speak up; our Yan Family will surely provide full support,” Yan Ming offered eagerly.

Lin Jing then chuckled and waved his hand:

“Brother Yan, you worry too much; it was just some issues with cultivation, and there wasn’t any trouble,” he assured.

Yan Ming, hearing this, breathed a sigh of relief:

“That’s good to hear.”

After speaking, Yan Ming quickly changed the subject:

“Brother Lin!”

“Your return is timely indeed,” Yan Ming continued.

Lin Jing, confused by the remark, looked questioningly at Yan Ming.

Yan Ming spoke again:

“Today there’s a high-end trading conference, and those participating in this conference are all at least of the Nascent Soul Stage in cultivation.”

“Such a high-end trading conference isn’t easy to come by, and since you’ve returned today, we can go together and take a look,” he suggested.

“A trading conference?”

As soon as Lin Jing heard about the trading conference, his brow furrowed instantaneously.

The mention of a trading conference immediately brought to mind Shopkeeper Shen; he had used one to deceive many cultivators into entering the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm.

And the sinister mastermind behind it all was Li Mingwu.

In the end, even Shopkeeper Shen himself was deceived by the Great Cultivator Ling Yi and was transported into the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm, where he ultimately perished.

Now that another trading conference was being mentioned, Lin Jing couldn’t help but suspect whether this could be another of Li Mingwu’s schemes.

At this moment, Yan Ming was eagerly looking forward to Lin Jing’s response.

When he mentioned the trading conference, he saw that Lin Jing’s reaction wasn’t one of excitement, but rather one of concern.

This left Yan Ming quite puzzled, so he asked:

“Brother Lin, is there a problem?”

Lin Jing looked at Yan Ming and then said:

“Whenever I hear about a trading conference, I remember a major event that happened in the Thousand Islands Domain.”

“The former Island Master of Yue Tian Island, Li Mingwu, used a trading conference to deceive cultivators, luring them into a secret space with the intent of using the cultivators for alchemy to aid his own breakthrough.”

“Brother Yan, you must have heard of that incident, right?” Lin Jing inquired.

Yan Ming nodded in response:

“Of course.”

“That incident was widely discussed; I’ve naturally heard about it,” he acknowledged.

“Is that what you’re worried about?” Yan Ming asked, and without waiting for Lin Jing to answer, he reassured him with a smile:

“Rest assured, Brother Lin, there’s absolutely no problem with this trading conference.”

“This is a high-end trading conference, and all the participants are renowned figures from the Southern Outer Sea, including several Divine Transformation Cultivators,” Yan Ming explained.

“For instance, the God of Dongji Island from the Eastern Sea Domain and Li Chen from the Jingyuan Sea Domain are both figures close to the peak of Divinity Transformation.”

“Aside from them, the Island Master of True Dragon Island—one of the three major islands in your Thousand Islands Domain—is also attending this trading conference.”

“And my family’s old ancestor didn’t come with me because he went ahead to the conference earlier.”

“Moreover…”

“This trading conference is being held inside the Welcoming Immortals Tower in Bihai City, and Li Mingwu wouldn’t dare to touch any of these people, even if he were bold enough.”

“So don’t worry, Brother Lin, this trading conference is absolutely safe,” Yan Ming assured.

After hearing this, Lin Jing was relieved.

Even with all his power, Li Mingwu wouldn’t dare to act against the participants of this trading conference, especially not in Bihai City.
