160: Dragon and Phoenix Market

The appearance of the Zhi'an Hall people was not within Zhou Luo's expectations.

He looked at the other party with a solemn expression.

Could it be arranged by Lin Xuanfeng?

Did the other party see his previous actions?

If they saw it and reported this information back to the Lin Family, then he would have no place to stand in the Lin Family.

Instantly, an infinite killing intent appeared on Zhou Luo's face.

He held the Xuantian Sword and stared fixedly at that person.

Seeing that the other party hadn't noticed, he stepped out, the wind whistling, turning into a long rainbow that directly rushed towards the other party.

That person also didn't expect to be ambushed.

When the sword light flickered, he subconsciously wanted to run.

Golden Rainbow Pierces the Sun!

The next second, ten thousand feet of golden light blossomed, and terrifying Sword Intent swept out, blocking his path.

Zhou Luo came with his sword, his speed astonishing.

After that person saw clearly who had come, his face turned pale with fright.

"Zhou Luo, what are you doing!" he shouted.

But Zhou Luo ignored him, swinging his sword out, the sword light raging, chopping directly towards that person's chest.

The other party quickly dodged, but it was still a step too late.

That sword light directly cut through his left shoulder, blood splattering, leaving behind an extremely deep gash.

The thin man's face turned instantly white, and the Qi within his body was in disarray.

Clang!

Zhou Luo's sword broke through the protective spiritual light on his body, the sword tip resting against the other party's throat; another step forward would directly pierce through.

"Who are you?!"

The thin man held at bay by the Xuantian Sword didn't dare to resist in the slightest.

He said with a trembling voice, "My name is Lin Ping, and I am from the Zhi'an Hall."

"Why are you here?" Zhou Luo asked sternly.

Lin Ping originally didn't want to speak, but seeing the killing intent in the other party's eyes, he could only say, "Ninth Elder sent me."

Previously, after Zhou Luo and the others left Maple Leaf City.

Lin Xuanfeng not only sent Lin Dong to openly monitor him but also privately dispatched Lin Ping, a Zhou Family Disciple skilled in concealment.

However, although Lin Ping was skilled in hiding, his strength was only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.

So much so that when Lin San and the others were attacked by Joyful Union Sect Disciples.

He couldn't do anything and could only watch silently.

It wasn't until Lin San used a Talisman Treasure to retreat that he followed and left.

Only later did he discover that Zhou Luo was actually not on the flying boat.

Lin Ping's duty was to monitor him; now that the other party wasn't there, he could only go search.

At least he had to confirm whether the other party was dead or alive.

But he didn't expect that Liu Fuchen had actually brought people to blockade the entire area.

He couldn't enter and could only wait in the dark.

It wasn't until Liu Fuchen and the others died that he dared to set foot in this area.

He originally thought he would try his luck, hoping against hope, but he didn't expect to actually encounter the person himself.

Learning that the other party didn't know he had killed Liu Fuchen and the others, Zhou Luo felt a sense of relief.

"Zhou Luo, this was all arranged by Ninth Elder, I had no choice," Lin Ping said with a helpless expression.

"So that's how it is," Zhou Luo nodded, his expression softening somewhat.

Lin Ping's heart also relaxed, the tension on his face receding.

Whoosh!——

But the next instant, a sword light flashed, and his head fell heavily to the ground.

Zhou Luo's face was grim, cold as ice.

No matter what, he would not let the other party go.

Afterwards, he bent down, took the storage bag from Lin Ping's body, and left.

Lin Xuanfeng secretly sending someone to track him was something he hadn't expected.

Now it seemed, this Ninth Elder was actually so concerned about him.

It seemed he had to be even more careful and cautious after returning home, otherwise, it would be troublesome if any clues were discovered.

He was indeed a difficult opponent.

Zhou Luo pondered, then took out the map of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range from Liu Fuchen's body and walked towards the location of the Market.

...

Two days later, Zhou Luo saw the only Market in the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, the Dragon Phoenix Market, on top of a mountain peak.

The Dragon Phoenix Market was situated between a cluster of mountain peaks.

Several mountain peaks towering into the clouds surrounded it.

Looking as far as the eye could see, one could only see parts of the outermost area of the Market; the depths were impossible to glimpse.

Zhou Luo took out a mask and put it on his face.

This was a High Grade magic tool that could arbitrarily change a person's appearance without being seen through by others.

Even Foundation Establishment Experts, if they didn't investigate carefully, wouldn't be able to see any clues.

Back then, Wang Tong was able to walk around Jiang City freely because of this mask.

After putting on the mask, Zhou Luo's facial features immediately changed.

He quickly changed from a handsome young man to an ordinary, unremarkable Cultivator.

He walked towards the Market.

As the former founding place of the Joyful Union Sect, the scope of the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range was comparable to that of the Azure Origin Sect.

Furthermore, it was said that there was also a damaged medium-sized Spirit Vein here; although it was broken, the spiritual energy was still abundant, making it a place countless Loose Cultivators longed for.

The closer he got to the Market, the more Cultivators there were coming and going.

In the air, some rode on spiritual beasts, some flew on artifacts, and some piloted flying boats carrying people.

On the ground, there were also many demonic beasts and spiritual steeds pulling goods, and the atmosphere of Cultivation was extremely thick.

Seeing these scenes, Zhou Luo couldn't help but feel emotional.

Back then, he didn't pass the Azure Origin Sect's Disciple selection. If he hadn't later been forced to choose to marry into the Lin Family, he would probably have come to a place like this to cultivate as a Loose Cultivator in the future.

A moment later, Zhou Luo arrived at the main entrance of the Dragon Phoenix Market; the Cultivators he had seen flying in the air earlier had all honestly come down to the ground.

The entire Market was surrounded by mountains, flying was prohibited inside, and one could only enter through the main gate.

Of course, if you were bold, it wasn't impossible to directly pilot a flying boat into the Market.

It was just that this Dragon Phoenix Market was extremely chaotic, and it was said that there were even Foundation Establishment Experts living in seclusion here.

If you really acted rashly and angered these important figures, the other party wouldn't care about your background.

It is said that there was once an Outer Sect Disciple of the Azure Origin Sect who, relying on his Immortal Sect status, flew on his sword in the Dragon Phoenix Market, acting without restraint.

As a result, he angered a Foundation Establishment Expert and was instantly killed by a sword light.

Although that Foundation Establishment senior was also dealt with afterwards...

But this incident also served as a warning to many people.

At the main entrance, the flow of people was like weaving.

Zhou Luo appeared alone, and his spiritual sense immediately detected several gazes falling upon him.

Some Cultivators cast covetous glances at him, contemplating whether or not to rob him.

In the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, as long as you have enough strength, you can act wantonly, even in broad daylight.

Of course, it would be relatively safer inside the Market.

After all, this was a place for trade; no one wanted to cause trouble in a place like this. Even if someone did cause trouble, they would be surrounded and punished by others.

Zhou Luo followed the crowd into the interior of the Market.

The buildings throughout the Market varied in height, and their distribution was very random, messy, and disorderly.

There were even cases where multiple types of shops were lined up next to each other.

People came and went on the streets, their steps hurried.

Zhou Luo didn't immediately go to "fence stolen goods"; instead, he found a shop selling information to inquire about the situation here.

In the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range, information was also extremely important.

Especially information about heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Of course, information could be true or false; how to discern it depended on oneself.

The Shopkeeper of the shop was a pot-bellied, round-faced middle-aged man.

He saw Zhou Luo enter and looked at the other party with a smiling face.

"This guest, what information do you want?"
