“Forget about them, let’s go,” Wei Zhengqing said.

After finishing his words, Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong walked forward, and Lin Jing immediately followed.

The three of them walked down the alley in silence, surrounded by a dead quiet with not a sound to be heard.

It was only the sound of their footsteps on the road that could be heard. Lin Jing turned his head to look around and realized that while there were many houses lining the alley, most of them were dilapidated.

Even though Shiyu Alley was on the edge of Fang Market, it was very strange to Lin Jing that there was not a single person in sight.

Seeing that Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong in front weren’t speaking, Lin Jing didn’t dare to inquire further and silently followed behind them.

After numerous twists and turns, they finally came to a courtyard door.

“Creak… ”

Wei Zhengqing reached out to push open the courtyard door, which emitted a grating noise. This sound, in the silent night, sent shivers down one’s spine.

Lin Jing followed the two men into the house.

Just upon entering the room, Lin Jing discovered that there was a formation inside.

“This Teleportation Array can only transport one person at a time. I’ll go first, Brother Lin, you’ll be second, and Yan Xiong will go last,”

Wei Zhengqing said to the two of them.

“Okay.”

“No problem.”

Both replied at the same time.

Wei Zhengqing then stepped forward, stood at the center of the Formation, and took out the Black Market Token, placing it into the groove in front of the Formation.

Immediately after, a bluish light flared up, enveloping Wei Zhengqing, and the entire Formation was activated in a flash.

The groove in front of the Formation lit up at that moment. The Black Market Token popped up, and Wei Zhengqing caught it and put it away.

At this point, the bluish light above the Formation didn’t fade. Instead, it grew brighter and brighter, so dazzling that one couldn’t keep their eyes open, and eventually, the light itself turned white.

Then there was a “whoosh” sound, and Wei Zhengqing disappeared in an instant. The light dissipated, and the Formation returned to calm.

“Little Lin, it’s your turn. Don’t worry, with me, Old Yan, covering for you,” said Yan Xiong with a grin.

“Thank you, Big Brother Yan.”

After speaking, Lin Jing walked to the center of the Formation, then mimicked Wei Zhengqing, placing the Black Market Token into the groove in front of the Formation.

Immediately after, the bluish light flared up again. Lin Jing put away the Black Market Token and stood quietly waiting. As the light grew increasingly brilliant, Lin Jing had no choice but to close his eyes against its glare.

Moments later, Lin Jing felt a lightness in his body, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a grove of trees, with Wei Zhengqing standing in front of him, watching him.

Then, Lin Jing sensed that something was off; his Divine Sense seemed to be restrained and he couldn’t use it at all.

Hurrying to Wei Zhengqing’s side, Lin Jing asked, “Brother Wei, why can’t I use my Divine Sense here?”

Wei Zhengqing nodded and replied:

“This place has a Formation that blocks Divine Sense. It was specially constructed by the owner of this black market. Even Golden Core Cultivators cannot use their Divine Sense here. The purpose is to protect the privacy of people who come to the black market to trade.”

“That way, both parties to the trade can rest assured, without having to worry about their identity being exposed.”

“I see,” Lin Jing said, feeling relieved.

Soon after, Yan Xiong was also transported over.

Once the three had gathered, Wei Zhengqing took out three veiled hats.

“Here, wear these; that way, you won’t have to worry about your identity being exposed.”

“Alright.”

Lin Jing took the hat, placed it on his head, and the black veil obscured his face, making it impossible to see the person’s features from the outside.

Wei Zhengqing and Yan Xiong did the same, donning their hats, and then the three set off together, walking forward.

It wasn’t long before Lin Jing saw a brightly lit area ahead.
