136: Chapter 136 I gave you a chance

Cao Hong exposed Master Yun Hua's identity in a single sentence.

This caused Lin Ming to look at Cao Hong with some surprise, though not because Cao Hong had identified his Revered Master.

Rather, it was because Cao Hong dared to expose his Revered Master's identity at all.

Among himself, his Revered Master, and Su Lianxue, he was the only one not wearing a mask; nor had he disguised his identity through other means, entering the auction directly as a Disciple of the Yuanxu Mountain.

It wouldn't be difficult for the other party to figure out his identity.

Moreover, he had been quite the center of attention recently. Not only had his Revered Master achieved a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm, but he himself had showcased his strength at the Sect Competition, and his reputation had subsequently spread throughout the cultivation world.

During his days in Cangyuan City, Lin Ming had heard many people discussing him.

It wasn't strange for the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce to recognize his identity.

As for his Revered Master and Junior Sister by his side, although they used masks to conceal their identities, a careful deduction would suggest the possibility of them being his Revered Master and Junior Sister.

However, his Revered Master was wearing a mask, clearly indicating an intention to hide her identity.

As the President of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce in Cangyuan City, Cao Hong shouldn't have had any issues with emotional intelligence to reach such a position, yet he had exposed his Revered Master's identity.

And from his tone, he was one hundred percent certain of his Revered Master's identity.

This made Lin Ming find the situation rather interesting.

Master Yun Hua said nothing, her gaze falling upon Cao Hong.

With just a single look, Cao Hong felt a powerful pressure descend upon him, making him feel a threat akin to death.

Indeed.

This made Cao Hong even more certain of Master Yun Hua's identity.

"Old Ancestor, this is the information our Wanfu Chamber of Commerce recently gathered regarding the Red Flood Dragon Clan. It contains what the Old Ancestor desires; please have a look."

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Hong immediately presented a Jade Slip he had prepared beforehand.

After learning her identity, Cao Hong had a rough idea of why she had come to Cangyuan City.

As a merchant, he naturally couldn't let any opportunity to seek profit slip by, especially the friendship of a Nirvana Ancestor, which was certainly not to be missed.

Even if she might come into conflict with the Red Flood Dragon Clan next, she had the entire Yuanxu Mountain standing behind her.

The feeling of danger vanished instantly, and Cao Hong felt a sense of relief in his heart.

At the same time, the Jade Slip left his hand and flew into Master Yun Hua's hand.

Lin Ming, meanwhile, looked at his Revered Master.

The Red Flood Dragon Clan—it turned out his Revered Master's purpose for this trip was indeed related to them.

This reminded Lin Ming of what that old man in the Nirvana Realm he met at the restaurant had said.

The person being hunted by the Red Flood Dragon Clan.

Could it be that Revered Master came for that person?

"This is the blood spirit pill."

After confirming the Essence Stones were correct, Cao Hong handed the blood spirit pill to Lin Ming.

"Let's go."

Master Yun Hua took the lead in leaving.

Lin Ming and the other followed in her footsteps.

"Revered Master, so you came this time for the Red Flood Dragon Clan?"

Lin Ming asked Master Yun Hua directly.

"You will know when the time comes."

Master Yun Hua said coldly.

Wait, wasn't that what he usually said?

How did Revered Master end up using his own lines?

The three of them left the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce smoothly and returned to the inn in a carriage arranged by the chamber.

Meanwhile, Lin Ming's attention shifted to his Clone.

Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation.

After paying the Essence Stones, Lin Ming's Clone successfully obtained the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation.

After receiving it, Lin Ming did not linger long at the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce and walked straight out.

However, before he could even exit the chamber, he was intercepted.

"The Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation originally belonged to my Shangji Sect."

Qiu Zhe said to Lin Ming with an unfriendly expression.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, they all stopped to watch the spectacle.

Many of them had guessed that the Shangji Sect wouldn't give up so easily.

"Is your name written on it?"

Lin Ming took out the Jade Slip for the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation and spoke with a slightly mocking tone.

"Hand over the Jade Slip, and we can give you the money you spent."

Zhao Yu said coldly.

This was the chance they were giving this person.

"Is this how the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce treats its guests?"

Lin Ming said slowly.

It was at this moment that an old man appeared.

"The Wanfu Chamber of Commerce naturally will not allow such things to happen."

The old man stood beside Lin Ming, and his aura had already locked onto Qiu Zhe and Zhao Yu.

The aura of a True Monarch of the Other Shore.

The expressions of Qiu Zhe and Zhao Yu changed; there was no doubt this was the aura of a True Monarch of the Other Shore.

Under this pressure, the two were unable to move.

After all, they were only at the Spirit Treasury Realm. Before a True Monarch of the Other Shore, they were no different from ants—at most, slightly larger ants.

"The Wanfu Chamber of Commerce does not like such guests."

As the words fell, Qiu Zhe and Zhao Yu were sent directly out of the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce.

This was only because they were from the Shangji Sect; anyone else would likely have been thrown out directly.

After doing this, the old man left.

"Senior Brother."

Outside the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Yu looked at Qiu Zhe. Just now, under the restraint of the Other Shore Realm expert, they had been unable to move and were sent out directly.

"Let's go."

Qiu Zhe turned and left.

This was not a place where they could take action. Whether it was inside the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce or within Cangyuan City, these were indeed not places where they could act.

And Lin Ming's attitude just now had explained everything.

In that case, they would have to resort to some unconventional means.

They had already given Lin Ming one chance. Since he didn't cherish it, there wouldn't be a second one.

As for Lin Ming, he had originally intended to find a place to meet his Clone and take the Four Symbols Yin-Yang Formation into his possession.

But just now, his mind had changed.

Since someone was plotting against him, it would be a bit of a pity to just leave like that, wouldn't it?

He had to give these people a chance, after all.

Therefore, after some internal struggle, Lin Ming decided to give these people an opportunity to satisfy them.

He casually found an ordinary inn and checked in.

On the other side, inside the Wanfu Chamber of Commerce.

"Miss Hu, it is a rule of the Chamber that we cannot disclose any guest's identity information."

Manager Huang Xing looked at the purple-haired woman in front of him with a smile and said.

Despite the purple-haired woman's extraordinary identity, they would not reveal a single bit of information about Lin Ming.

Though they knew nothing about Lin Ming, even if they did, they wouldn't say anything.

"That's a pity then."
