Chapter 440 - Chapter 440: Chapter 138: A Sudden Change, A Conspiracy Emerges (2/2)
“therefore…”
“to prevent anyone from causing trouble during the trade conference, we need to activate the defensive array on this mountaintop before the conference starts.”
“does anyone have any objections?”
upon hearing what the man in white had said, someone immediately responded:
“it’s naturally necessary. otherwise, what do we do if someone steals a treasure and runs away?”
…
“indeed…”
“making a trade in this place without any cover, setting up a formation is the best option…”
…
“i agree…”
…
“we agree as well…”
in an instant, everyone expressed their agreement.
but just then, suddenly, a different voice rang out.
someone asked at this moment:
“fellow taoist bai, a friend of mine hasn’t arrived yet; if we activate this formation, how will he be able to get in?”
the man in white, with a warm smile on his face, replied to the inquirer:
“rest assured, fellow taoist, if your friend hasn’t arrived yet, it’s not a problem. we have deliberately left a gateway in the formation, allowing those who come later to enter…”
hearing what the white-robed cultivator said, the inquirer nodded and said to the man in white:
“thanks for the clarification, fellow taoist. i also agree with activating the formation…”
afterward, no one else made a sound…
obviously, everyone agreed to the request to activate the formation.
lin jing stood in the corner at the back without speaking,
setting up a formation was indeed necessary.
if some particularly precious treasures were to appear, it was indeed possible that someone would snatch the treasure and immediately use a teleportation talisman to flee.
if that kind of situation did arise, no one would be able to stop it…
after all, those who attended this trade conference were not prohibited from hiding their identities; it’s possible some people were in disguise.
thinking of this, lin jing suddenly felt regret.
if only he had disguised himself before coming here.
it was zhang jian’s fault for being too anxious,
which made him forget about this detail.
however, it’s also fortunate that zhang jian did not disguise himself.
otherwise, it was very possible that he would’ve missed the blue-robed cultivator, thus missing out on a great opportunity.
…
after obtaining the agreement of everyone at the scene, the white-robed cultivator and those with him started moving about every corner of the plaza, beginning to take action…
it didn’t take long for the formation atop the mountain to be activated, instantly enveloping everyone in a transparent light shield.
after activating the formation, the man in white and the others returned to the front again.
at this point, someone from the front said:
“fellow taoist bai…”
“now that the defensive array has also been activated, can we start now?”
the man in white replied with a smile:
“of course…”
“ladies and gentlemen, this grand event will now begin.”
as he spoke, the man in white took out a token from his storage bag and held it up, then said to everyone:
“everyone, do you see this token?”
everyone immediately looked up, and on this token was carved an image of a fierce ghost, looking somewhat evil and bizarre.
