Time Travel: The Survival of Li Zhi

Chapter 471 Nebula Chamber of Commerce, Ning 9 An

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds, casting a golden glow.

Shao Qi and Li Zhi walked towards the Xingyun Sect's stronghold in Heyunfang City in the morning light.

The destination is a magnificent pavilion. The four big characters "Xingyun Chamber of Commerce" on the plaque are vigorous and powerful, gleaming faintly in the sunlight, highlighting its extraordinary status.

As the person in charge of Yaowang Valley in Heyunfang City, Shao Qi is quite prestigious here.

The Xingyun Sect's on-duty disciple saw him from afar and immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. While bowing, he said enthusiastically, "Senior Shao, your presence today is a great honor to our Xingyun Chamber of Commerce! Please come in, please come in!"

After saying that, he led Shao Qi and Li Zhi in.

As you step into the Chamber of Commerce, a bustling scene instantly comes into view.

The spacious hall was crowded with people, practitioners from all walks of life were walking around, and the sounds of conversation and bargaining were intertwined.

Rare and exotic treasures glow alluringly on specially made shelves, and scrolls of martial arts secret manuals are carefully placed, waiting for those who recognize their value.

Shao Qi's appearance was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, instantly attracting the attention of people around him.

Several people dressed in Xiao family clothes, with a hint of cunning in their eyes and fake smiles on their faces, walked towards Shao Qi.

The leader raised his lips slightly, and said in a playful tone, "Hey, isn't this Brother Shao from Medicine King Valley? How come you have time to hang out here today? I heard that the medicine slave you helped the Zhao family cultivate in Medicine King Valley ran away. Brother Shao, why don't you hurry up and look for him? The Zhao family has a temper that is not to be trifled with. If they blame you, you will suffer a lot!"

Shao Qi narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. He could naturally hear the sarcasm in the other party's words.

He also knew in his heart that the escaped medicine slave was indeed trained for the Zhao family. The Zhao family has always been known for being difficult to deal with. If the medicine slave cannot be found this time, Yaowang Valley will probably have to pay a heavy price.

However, as the person stationed here, it was not his job to find medicine slaves, so he naturally did not need to worry about it.

But how could Shao Qi show weakness in the face of provocation from the Xiao family?

He grinned, revealing a half-smile, and replied calmly, "The medicine slave ran away, so what? The Immortal Sect will arrange personnel to properly handle the subsequent matters. You, the Xiao family, don't have to worry about it. As for you, the Xiao family, instead of worrying about the affairs of our Medicine King Valley, you should think more about where that escaped human candle is hiding now. Who knows, one day, he might come back to settle the score with you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone in the Xiao family instantly became extremely ugly.

In the Xiao family, the escaped Zhu many years ago has always been a taboo in their hearts.

That human candle was gifted with extraordinary talent and a tenacious character, and he was considered to be top-tier among human candles.

However, he took advantage of the Xiao family's unpreparedness and escaped from the Xiao family's control.

In order to retrieve him, the Xiao family even used the spirit beasts secretly raised in the family. It was then that the outside world learned that the Xiao family possessed a special method to identify people who practiced the Five Internal Organs Sutra.

But even so, the Xiao family searched everywhere, spending a lot of manpower and resources, but still found nothing.

Everyone in the Xiao family knew that with that man's qualifications and the support of the Five Internal Organs Meridians, if he was given time to grow up and came back to seek revenge, the Xiao family would surely face a devastating disaster.

One of the Xiao family members was angered by Shao Qi's words. His face flushed red and he couldn't help but retort, "Shao Qi, don't be so proud! I heard that the escaped medicine slave has also practiced magic. When she becomes successful in her cultivation in the future, she might be the first to attack your Medicine King Valley. You will cry when that happens!"

After hearing this, Shao Qi's face was not at all worried. Instead, he looked relaxed and said in a joking tone, "My Medicine King Valley is only commissioned by the Zhao family to cultivate medicine slaves, and the people are also provided by the Zhao family. If she wants revenge, she should naturally go to the Zhao family. As for you Xiao family members, you better be careful when you go out in the future. Maybe the escaped candle is hiding in a corner and watching you!"

"you!"

The man from the Xiao family was so angry that he was shaking all over. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He let out a low roar and suddenly rushed towards Shao Qi. His fists were whistling and full of strength. It was obvious that he attacked in anger.

However, facing this fierce attack, Shao Qi only sneered disdainfully, standing still and cursing under his breath: "Idiot!"

At the same time, the other members of the Xiao family saw this and their faces suddenly changed. They shouted in horror, "Stop it! Don't be impulsive!"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Just when the Xiao family member's fist had not yet approached Shao Qi, a bright star suddenly lit up, like a flash of lightning across the night sky.

The next second, something horrifying happened. The person from the Xiao family who rushed out turned into a pool of blood in an instant in front of everyone. The bright red liquid spread on the ground, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

"You're trying to kill me in my Xingyun Chamber of Commerce?"

A bone-chilling sound suddenly rang out, like a north wind in winter, instantly causing the temperature of the entire hall to drop by more than ten degrees. Everyone felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to their foreheads.

Li Zhi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in black clothes walking slowly towards him with steady and powerful steps.

His face was stern, like ice that had not melted for a thousand years, and his eyes were filled with a chilling ruthlessness. Every step he took seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression.

Without even glancing at the pool of blood on the ground, he fixed his gaze directly on Shao Qi and asked in a cold voice, "Shao Qi, do you want to cause trouble here too?"

Shao Qi spread his hands and said innocently, "I didn't do anything, Brother Ning, please don't accuse me."

Ning Jiuan turned his hawk-like gaze towards the Xiao family and asked coldly, "So, you Xiao family members, do you still want to continue the fight?"

The faces of the Xiao family members were extremely ugly at this moment. They knew very well that Ning Jiuan in front of them was no match for them, and they were in the wrong for causing trouble on the territory of the Xingyun Sect.

So they could only grit their teeth, lower their heads, and dare not say another word.

Seeing that everyone in the Xiao family had surrendered, Ning Jiuan pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a chilling smile, and said to everyone present: "Sorry to bother you, everyone, continue, continue..."

After saying this, he turned around and strode away, his back revealing an awe-inspiring majesty.

After Ning Jiuan left, Li Zhi looked at Shao Qi with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Who is this person? He doesn't look like an ordinary person."

Li Zhi had just witnessed the tragic state of the Xiao family's man. With his perception, he didn't even detect any breath fluctuations, yet the other party had already died. Such a strange method really frightened him.

Shao Qi looked at the direction Ning Jiuan left, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, and he slowly said: "His name is Ning Jiuan, and like me, he was sent by the Xingyun Sect to garrison here. He has a high status in the Xingyun Sect, and originally, with his status, he didn't need to come here. But he had a conflict with an elder of the Xingyun Sect before, and he hit him too hard, directly beating the elder to death, and that's why he was sent here."

After hearing this, Li Zhi nodded silently.
