Taihong City is still very lively at night, but beneath the peaceful scene on the surface, there is an undercurrent surging.
Before Jiang Ling reached Taihong Department Store, he just walked into the market and saw the figure of Zhen Yingxiong.
Zhen Yingxiong smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I knew you would come."
"Haha, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Zhen to come here to wait for me. It seems that Fellow Daoist Zhen has something more anxious than me."
Jiang Ling was also a little surprised. Zhen Yingxiong could actually guess that he would come to see him tonight. This kind of guessing ability should not be underestimated.
However, it seemed that he could not sit still more than himself.
The corner of Zhen Yingxiong's mouth twitched slightly. He was actually not sure whether Jiang Ling would come. He waited around in the department store but didn't find Jiang Ling, so he wanted to go home, but ended up meeting Jiang Ling at the entrance of the market.
We bumped into each other.
Therefore, this created the feeling that he was waiting for Jiang Ling here.
But... let's just misunderstand it. Am I saying this is just a coincidence?
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, on such a beautiful day, would you like to go down and have a drink with me?"
"What I wish for."
…
On a high building.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this place is called Wangtian Tower. Not only can he look at the sky, but he can also overlook the entire Taihong City."
"It's true that you can overlook Taihong City, but whether you look at it from the ground or from a tall building, the sky is so big."
Jiang Ling looked at the lights of thousands of families in Taihong City below, his face expressionless. In a place that could not be seen, Yingzhou was already in ruins. He didn't know how many families had been destroyed.
"What about Taihong City in the eyes of Fellow Daoist Jiang?" Zhen Yingxiong asked with a smile.
"A short-lived flower appears, a mirage. All the blooming flowers in front of you are just a passing cloud." Jiang Ling said calmly.
"Yes, Taihong City is too small. Compared with the entire vast world of immortality, it is like a mayfly." Zhen Yingxiong sighed.
Jiang Ling glanced at Zhen Yingxiong. What was the purpose of this guy bringing him to this place? Did he just drag him here to express his feelings about life?
"Fellow Daoist Zhen, you said you can buy news here, but what kind of news is it?" Jiang Ling asked.
"For businessmen, news is the most important thing, because any news may affect future development, so all kinds of news will be collected... and what Daoyou Jiang cares about most must be news about the current situation."
Zhen Yingxiong smiled and said: "As soon as I met Jiang Daoyou, I will give you a message for free."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
"Nowadays, there is a chaos in the ghost cave. All the sects are participating in the suppression and sending disciples to various parts of Yingzhou to eliminate ghosts. And isn't Daoist Jiang curious about what the elders of the various sects are doing?"
Seeing the mysterious expression on Zhen Yingxiong's face, Jiang Ling thought about it and decided to give him a blow.
"You know, isn't it just to set up a big formation outside the ghost cave to prevent the endless stream of evil ghosts from running out and causing trouble, so they don't have time to separate themselves."
"Uh... Fellow Daoist Jiang turns out to know."
Zhen Yingxiong looked embarrassed. Generally speaking, ordinary disciples didn't know about such important things done by the high-level officials of the sect, but it seemed that Jiang Ling not only knew about it, but also knew it better than him.
If he had known that Jiang Ling had participated in the entire process in Tianjian Sect, he would not have told this news.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen, if you really have a lot of information, let me ask first, is there any special action taken by the evil sect now?" Jiang Ling asked straight to the point.
When Zhen Yingxiong heard this, his face straightened, and then... he held out five fingers.
"Five thousand pieces of low-grade spiritual stones, no two prices!"
Jiang Ling almost fell down and complained: "You should grab the spirit stone, it's so expensive!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, if you really want to know this news, then the price is still worth it."
"..."
Jiang Ling threw five thousand low-grade spiritual stones to Zhen Yingxiong with a look of pain on his face.
"Young Daoyou Jiang is indeed a cheerful person. We who do business like to deal with people like Daoyou Jiang."
Zhen Yingxiong had a smile on his face.
When Jiang Ling heard this, his face twitched slightly. The last thing he wanted was to deal with a profiteer like you.
Then, Zhen Yingxiong's face straightened up and he said slowly: "Although the elders of the evil sect are also setting up a large formation, the disciples of the evil sect have not participated in the cleanup of the evil spirits. This is also because they are afraid that the disciples of the righteous way and the evil sect will conflict."
"However, the disciples of the evil sect are also active and inquiring about information everywhere. There are also many disciples of the evil sect in Bone Erosion Mountain."
Having said this, Zhen Yingxiong gave Jiang Ling a meaningful look.
Bone Erosion Mountain?
Jiang Ling narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Then let me ask one more question, is there any place in Bone Erosion Mountain that is particularly good at hiding people? It can hide many people."
"Ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
"..."
Jiang Ling immediately wanted to turn the table over. The question he asked was simpler, and the price doubled!
At this time, Zhen Yingxiong said quickly: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I am definitely not raising the price on the ground, but this news is worth the price, isn't it?"
"Eight thousand!"
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, you..."
"Seven thousand!"
"No such thing..."
"Six thousand!"
"Okay, deal!"
Jiang Ling suddenly looked at Zhen Yingxiong with his eyes wide open. He felt as if he had cut too little. Especially what does the expression on your face that says "I've made a lot of money" mean?
A profiteer, a real profiteer!
With another look of pain on his face, he gave Zhen Yingxiong 6,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
In just a few moments, tens of thousands of spirit stones were squandered. The speed of this kind of flower spirit stone is faster than flying with a sword...
"explain!"
"Minghuanjian, if you want to say where many people can hide in the Bone Erosion Mountain, it's only Minghuanjian. This place is surrounded by miasma all year round, so no one wants to go there."
"Farewell!"
After getting the news he wanted, Jiang Ling really didn't want to stay any longer, lest the profiteer would lure him out of the spirit stone again later.
However, the next moment he was stopped by Zhen Yingxiong.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, wait, there is something I don't know whether I should say or not."
"Then don't say it."
"Even though Fellow Daoist Jiang said this, I still have to say something... The disaster in the ghost cave is just the beginning of the chaos in the immortal world of Qingshan County. The entire Qingshan County is used as a chessboard. The righteous path, the evil path, and the demon sect are playing a three-way game, and all living beings are pawns."
Zhen Yingxiong said in a deep voice.
"So what?"
"Nowadays, various counties are turbulent, and chaos is inevitable. Qingshan County is only a small part of the entire chessboard. Does Jiang Daoyou want to be a chess player or a chess piece?"
"For me, as long as I can achieve my goal, what does it matter between being a chess player and a chess piece? If I have to choose one, then I would rather be the one who flips the table."
After saying that, Jiang Ling took a deep look at Zhen Yingxiong and walked away with his sword.
"Oh, lifting the table is not easy."
Looking at Jiang Ling's leaving figure, Zhen Yingxiong sighed.
…
The next day, dawn breaks.
Today is an important day for the entire monks in Taihong City.
All the major sects jointly held a conference and invited monks from local aristocratic families and casual cultivators from all over the country to go to the Ten Thousand Yin Cave of Bone Erosion Mountain to drive away evil spirits and perform righteous deeds!
The whole city was boiling, and the people all cheered.
An unprecedented banquet was held in the central square of Taihong City to entertain people with lofty ideals from all over the world.
At the same time, forming an organized alliance and selecting the alliance leader are also top priorities!
"Brother Jiang Ling, do you want to fight for the alliance leader?"
