It’s just cultivating immortality, who isn’t a favorite of heaven?

Everyone in the black market was trapped in this circular hall. Some brave ones tried to walk to the entrance and carefully test it out, but were unexpectedly blocked by the formation.

Suddenly, panicked voices erupted from the crowd.

"What's going on? How could someone dare to cause trouble in the black market?"

"What's there to ask? I think it's the black market itself that's causing trouble!"

"Hurry up and let us go! The owner of Pingshan Market is a senior in the Nascent Soul stage. Aren't you afraid of his wrath by running around like this in the black market?"

"Yeah, why are you trapping us for no reason? You Blacks have no regard for your reputation at all!"

"My fellow Daoists, there are about ten people in the black market right now! We might as well control these people first, and then talk to the people behind them."

The monks talked one after another, all pointing the finger at the person who ran the black market.

Those people on the black market were also miserable at this time. They had no idea what was going on, but they became the target of public criticism for no reason.

When the black market opened this time, two foundation-building cultivators and eight Qi-cultivating cultivators were responsible for maintaining order.

The black market is located in the market town, so this situation would not have happened in the first place, and there is no need to arrange too many high-level monks.

Unexpectedly, they were so unlucky that they ran into someone who was so bold as to choose to take action when the black market was open.

After discovering something unusual, several people from the black market immediately gathered in a corner near the entrance to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing that some cultivators were ready to fight and were walking towards them, one of the Foundation Establishment Stage managers quickly stepped forward and said,

"My fellow Taoists, please be patient. This incident was definitely not caused by us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be trapped here with ourselves. Isn't this playing with our lives?

We have sent a message to our superiors, and it won't be long before a Jindan-stage senior comes to rescue us. Please don't panic."

What he said did make some sense. If it was really them who did it, then those of them who stayed here would definitely become the targets of everyone's venting.

By then, none of them will be able to escape when they all rally together.

After hearing what the manager said, different voices began to emerge among the crowd.

"He's right. If it was really the black market, why would they trap themselves here with us?"

"That makes some sense. I've heard that the Golden Sword Sect is behind this black market. They've always only been after money. They wouldn't do something like killing the chicken to get the eggs and ruining the entire sect, right?"

"Humph! Who knows if they're saying this on purpose, doing the exact opposite? Deliberately confusing us so they can distance themselves from the matter!"

Cheng Shuyan stood in the corner, thinking about the situation at hand.

In fact, there is no need for them to make wild guesses. Since the person behind the scenes has done this, it is definitely not just to trap them.

Just wait patiently, the person behind the scenes will surely reveal himself.

She looked at the monk who looked like Tian Yiyi. At this moment, he was still lying on the ground unconscious.

Cheng Shuyan felt a pang of fear in her heart. If the cultivator had not left first and activated the power of the formation, she would be the one lying there right now.

Some impatient monks in the crowd no longer had the patience to wait.

Someone took out a magic weapon and moved towards the ten people in the black market.

Some people also want to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters, hoping to take advantage of the situation and be the one who takes advantage of the situation.

"If you take action now, you will probably fall into the trap of the person behind the scenes."

After all, Cheng Shuyan couldn't just stand by and watch these people muddy the waters, so he couldn't help but remind them.

As soon as she spoke, a monk standing in the other corner said:

"If we start to lose our composure and start an internal conflict, it will only relieve the pressure on those behind the scenes. Everyone, please think carefully."

She looked at the man from a distance, and coincidentally, the man was looking at her. The two looked at each other and nodded at each other.

The people who were originally planning to take action stopped after hearing what the two said, and continued to stare at the ten people in the black market vigilantly.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Cheng Shuyan hurriedly ran towards the monk lying on the ground.

She helped the man up, checked his pulse, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when she confirmed that he was still alive.

After all, this person indirectly saved her, and she didn't want him to die.

But this person was seriously injured and had to take some medicine to stabilize his condition quickly.

Just looking at the mask on the other person's face, Cheng Shuyan was in a dilemma.

The mask only reveals the wearer's eyes, and the rest of the body is covered tightly.

If you want to feed him the pill, you have to take off his mask.

But once the mask is removed, this person will be exposed to everyone's sight.

If his enemy happened to be present, wouldn't that harm him again?

"Fellow Daoist, why not move him to the back first? I'll shield you for a bit, and then you can take the opportunity to give him the medicine."

It was the monk who had just looked at her. He seemed to see Cheng Shuyan's embarrassment and walked over to Cheng Shuyan.

This is a good idea, and it is currently the best way to avoid exposure.

Cheng Shuyan nodded and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Taoist."

The two men moved the monk lying on the ground to the back. The others just wanted to save themselves at this moment, so no one paid any attention to them.

When she took off the man's mask and saw his appearance clearly, she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.

This person's figure looks very similar to Tian Yiyi, but he is taller than Tian Yiyi.

However, what confused Cheng Shuyan was that he looked completely different from Tian Yiyi, but she felt that he and Tian Yiyi were the same person.

It was hard for her to understand why she had such a strange feeling, but now was not the time to delve into it, so she quickly took out the rejuvenation pill and fed it to the man, then put the mask back on him.

At this moment, all the monks calmed down and were only wary of the people around them. No one thought of taking action anymore.

There were still some monks in the crowd cursing the ten people from the black market and inciting everyone to attack them.

But no one wanted to be the first to take action at this time. After all, the situation was unclear. Whoever took action first and consumed his own spiritual power would find it more difficult to deal with the war that might break out at any time.

"Ah……"

Someone in the crowd chuckled, then said with a hint of regret:

"I was thinking I'd let you idiots start the chaos first, saving us some energy, but I didn't expect... every one of you is a coward!"

The person who spoke was a woman. She was hiding in the crowd. Before anyone could react, she attacked several Qi-cultivating monks around her at an extremely fast speed.

A long silver whip was swung, and several Qi-cultivating monks lost their lives in an instant.

Following her move, many monks in the crowd attacked the people around them.

After a closer look, Cheng Shuyan found that there were probably no less than twenty people, and without exception, all of them were foundation-building cultivators!

They specifically targeted Qi-cultivating cultivators, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of people died tragically at their hands.
