Li Yuanqing transformed into his thin appearance again and arrived at the black market of the Golden Bamboo Mountain.

However, when he arrived, he realized that everything had changed.

Half of the originally towering mountain had been cut off for no reason. The slanted mountain was as smooth as a mirror, making one feel afraid. The golden bamboo on the mountain had completely disappeared, leaving only ruins.

This place was about to be crippled.

Li Yuanqing never expected that the black market that he had not been to for long would be razed to the ground. Moreover, it was very quiet below and there were no people coming and going.

After observing for a moment, Li Yuanqing decided to go in and search for any clues. He walked slowly towards the original entrance and found a sneaky figure outside.

Li Yuanqing appeared behind that person in a flash and grabbed his neck, lifting him up. The man was terrified. He closed his eyes in a panic and begged for mercy.

Sir, I was wrong. Please spare me! I was just passing by. I definitely didn't mean to offend you. Please be magnanimous!

Li Yuanqing pulled this person in front of him and took a look. It was Shan Que that he had interacted with before. However, when he first came here, Shan Que was still so arrogant. Now, he has become so embarrassed.

Li Yuanqing threw Shan Que to the ground and looked at him quietly.

Shan Que crawled on the ground, not daring to raise its head. He kept kowtowing and admitting his mistake.

Thank you, sir. Thank you for sparing my life.

Take a look at who I am first.

I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!

Shan Que did not dare to raise his head. He kept his head on the ground, afraid that he would die if he saw Li Yuanqing's face.

Li Yuanqing shook his head helplessly and looked at him. Lift your head. I still have something to ask you.

Shan Que stopped moving when he heard his words. He thought for a moment and found this voice familiar. He felt that he had heard it somewhere before.

He carefully raised his head a little and looked at Li Yuanqing's upper body. This figure finally slowly became familiar. He looked at Li Yuanqing's face in surprise and finally heaved a long sigh of relief.

Brother Zhao?

Shan Que looked at Li Yuanqing excitedly. After sensing for a moment, a shocked expression suddenly appeared on his face. He hurriedly changed her words and said, Supremacy Zhao, why are you here?

Li Yuanqing ignored his greeting and asked him directly, What happened? I haven't been here for a few days. How did I get burned to this state? Who did it?

Shan Que slowly stood up and looked at Li Yuanqing bitterly. Supremacy Zhao, you don't know.

Our black market's business has become more and more popular since you came.

Li Yuanqing knew about this. Many people from the big clans had sent people to guard here, waiting for the appearance of his Fire Spirit Fruit.

Then what happened?

Shan Que shook his head sadly and said, It's because this business is so popular that it caused a disaster. Do you know the Divine Fire Sect?

I've heard of them. What does this have to do with them?

In the beginning, the Divine Fire Sect acted normally. Their style was still righteous. No matter what exchange they made, they would trade normally. Shan Que sighed and shook his head. But later on, their temperament suddenly changed drastically. They sent an army to the border and surrounded the Golden Bamboo Mountain.

So they're behind all of this.

That's right. They have the numbers. We're really not their match. Moreover, there's a powerful person among them. He directly slashed down and split the Golden Bamboo Mountain into two. The other part flew thirty miles away.

What about the people in the black market?

Shan Que looked around in fear and looked around at Li Yuanqing, as if to confirm if there was anyone outside.

Supremacy Zhao, you don't know. The people from the Divine Fire Sect are powerful. How could we be their match? However, I happened to be outside at that time, so I dodged a calamity. They weren't so lucky in the market.

It turned out that the Divine Fire Sect had long targeted the Golden Bamboo Mountain's black market. That day, they sent an army to the mountain and surrounded this place. Even the customers who came to trade and the operators of the black market were captured.

In the entire Golden Bamboo Mountain, only they, who were entertaining guests outside, had a chance to escape. Shan Que sighed at his luck. He had returned this time because he wanted to sneak into the black market to see if he could find some good things.

The Divine Fire Sect has already been destroyed. Did you find any news about the missing people?

Shan Que didn't know much about this. He shook her head and said, I only heard that the people from the Divine Fire Sect were all destroyed when they surrounded the Cloud Sky Sect, but none of them came back or any news. I originally heard that they were locked in the dungeon of the Divine Fire Sect. Perhaps they have already been killed.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that he would make a wasted trip when he wanted to buy some materials here. He did not know what to do now.

Supremacy Zhao, are you here to trade?

That's right. I needed some materials and came here to take a look.

That's a pity. There's nothing left here now. Moreover, the news of this place being completely wiped out last time has spread. No one dares to come to the Golden Bamboo Mountain to make any deals now.

Then do you know any other markets around here where you can buy some materials?

That depends on what materials you need to buy, Supremacy. Shan Que smiled and said, If it's ordinary materials, there are actually many small markets to go to. It's just not as complete as here.

Li Yuanqing took out his list of medicinal herbs and array formations and showed it to Shan Que.

Shan Que only took a look and his expression immediately changed. Supremacy, the materials you need are too complicated, and most of them are very rare treasures. I'm afraid it's really difficult to find them in those small markets. I don't have any other choice.

Then do you know who can find these treasures?

Shan Que immediately thought of someone, but he felt that something was wrong, so he dismissed the idea and said, Master Wuyan has a lot of connections. If it's him, he will definitely have a way. It's a pity that Master's location is unknown now. If we can find him, we will definitely have a way.

This was a troublesome matter. Although Li Yuanqing had a lot of materials in his hands, the things used in the Immortal World had their own uniqueness. Even though this was a very ordinary array formation in a medicinal field, there were many materials that were difficult to find.

If he did not go through these underground markets, he would probably have to think of a way to get it from those large sects.

However, the sect's control was very strict. They usually recorded the transactions of materials in detail, and there were many inconveniences.

Do you know where the dungeon of the Divine Fire Sect is?

I heard that it's under the main peak. I wonder if it's true. Shan Que looked at Li Yuanqing carefully and reminded him, Supremacy Zhao, what do you plan to do? I heard that although most of the Divine Fire Sect's power has been destroyed, there are still many puppets wandering around the sect. Many people who want to enter and take the opportunity to plunder have suffered. Not even half of them came out.

There's such a thing?

Li Yuanqing was a little interested in this. That day, the so-called Old Man Yu Shan had gathered the puppets and ran away.

He had originally wanted to capture one or two puppets for research, but he did not have such a chance.

But there were still puppets running around for nothing today. Wasn't this a good opportunity for him?

Shan Que thought that Li Yuanqing was afraid and comforted him. Supremacy, actually, if you're not in a hurry, there's a way. Every large sect will have one or two chances a year to trade on a large scale. At that time, many materials that only sects have will be taken out to trade. I think most of the materials you need are commonly used by large sects. You might be able to try them out.

Li Yuanqing had heard a little about the transactions between these sects.

However, this frequency was really too low. It was only open once or twice a year. The next time would be a few months later.

He could not wait that long. The better way now was to look for Master Wuyan. However, he was not sure if they had been refined into puppets by the Divine Fire Sect after they were captured.

It had to be known that the people from the Divine Fire Sect were so crazy that they turned people into puppets. If they captured so many people, would they still have a chance of survival?

Are you willing to go with me?

What?

Shan Que took a careful step back.

Although Zhao Tai'an was now a true Supremacy, he was still at the Formation Arrangement Realm some time ago. According to what he knew, many third and fourth-grade Supremacies did not come out after entering. Wasn't he courting death by running in as a mere first-grade Supremacy?

One had to know that any one of the puppets refined by the Divine Fire Sect was at least a first-stage Supremacy. Entering was equivalent to courting death.

Supremacy Zhao, you must be joking. What can the two of us do?

Don't worry, I'll protect you.

Shan Que's face twitched. He thought to himself that it would probably be difficult for Li Yuanqing to protect himself like this.

He said awkwardly, Supremacy Zhao, I still have some things to do. I'll take my leave first. If there's any news later, you can come here if you want to look for me. Let's part ways today.

As he spoke, he wanted to run, but Li Yuanqing could not tolerate him escaping like this. A rope formed from purple flames chased after him and tied him up tightly.

Shan Que was pulled down by the rope in midair and fell firmly into the forest below, only his head sticking out as it complained.

Why are you running?

Li Yuanqing came in front of him and bent down.

At this moment, Shan Que stopped pretending and looked at Li Yuanqing with a bitter expression. Supremacy Zhao, I know you're powerful. You can go yourself if you have the ability. Why must you drag me along? I can't go to that kind of place. Isn't that courting death?

Didn't I say that I would protect you? Why don't you trust me?

Supremacy Zhao, forgive me for being blunt, but there are many fifth and sixth-grade Supremacies who died in the Divine Flame Sect. You can protect yourself with your cultivation. Why are you forcing me?

Li Yuanqing nodded gently, agreeing with his worry.

You're right.

Supremacy Zhao, it's easy now that you've thought it through. You should forget about this. When the sect's trade fair begins in a few months, you can have any materials you want.

Li Yuanqing changed the topic and said to him, I didn't say that I want to give up. I only said that your worries are reasonable. I understand, but it's not up to you to go now.

Supremacy Zhao, what are you doing?

Li Yuanqing raised his hand and the two of them rushed towards the Divine Fire Sect.

Outside the Divine Fire Sect.

Many cultivators were gathered together. They were wary of each other, but they had a common goal. They wanted to get a share when this big sect fell. Loose cultivators like them usually did not have such a good opportunity. They had to grab hold of the huge benefits this time. They could not let such benefits go to waste.

At this moment, two more men flew over from afar.

One of them was at the Supremacy realm, and the other was at the Formation Arrangement realm. They found an empty space and landed.

Shan Que stood beside Li Yuanqing in resistance. He still wanted to escape, but Li Yuanqing had planted a flame in his stomach.

As long as he had any thoughts of escaping, the flames would instantly detonate and ignite his entire body.

He would die even if he went forward now. He never expected that he would be safe after bumping into an acquaintance. However, he now realized that this acquaintance was the most dangerous.

Supremacy Zhao, let's leave first. Who are these people gathered beside us? Even they don't dare to enter. Why are the two of us here?

We're already here. Where do you think you're going?

Supremacy Zhao, don't be angry. I'm just advising you out of goodwill. It's really very dangerous inside. Look, none of them made a move. That blondie over there is a fifth-grade Supremacy. He's guarding at the side and doesn't dare to make a move. Aren't we courting death by going in?

Li Yuanqing was observing the commotion inside and replied.

Do you think I'm the kind of person who would throw my life away?

Shan Que looked at Li Yuanqing with a bitter expression and nodded silently. Supremacy Zhao, I think it's better to have a clear understanding of your strength sometimes.

A huge network appeared in front of Li Yuanqing. This network covered the entire Divine Fire Sect.

There were not many people left alive, but there were indeed people who were resisting. They were still controlling the node of the protective battle.

This was also why the people who entered had suffered so many casualties.
