After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Chi Yi: "Okay, now you know."

Xi Lan nodded blankly: "Oh, right."

"Let's go find Bai Xiaotang first," Chi Yi said as they walked. Xi Lan immediately followed, since everyone here dressed the same and they would lose track of them if they got separated.

Chi Yi and Xi Lan went to visit Bai Xiaotang, Ling Lili and Yun Fan enjoyed a sweet time together, while Bai Shu and Yuan Jing were truly relaxing with shopping. Only Jin Haoyu was alone, complaining that they didn't include him in their fun.

As he walked, he caught a glimpse of a dark figure flashing past out of the corner of his eye as he passed through a dark alley. Jin Haoyu looked around and, seeing that no one else had noticed, he chased after it when no one was paying attention. Sure enough, when people are bored, they want to cause trouble, and here it is.

Jin Haoyu remembered that he had put a concealment talisman on himself and followed the man in black carrying a sack silently. After turning left and right countless times, he finally arrived at his destination.

A man dressed in black was waiting for him. The man, who was carrying a sack, put it down and said, "I got the goods, but where's my money?"

The man said, "What's the rush? You won't be shortchanged. I need to check the goods."

"Okay." After saying that, he untied the sack, revealing what was inside—a person.

The man in black, who was inspecting the goods, nodded in satisfaction and said, "Hmm, well done. I'll give you the money right away."

The man in black carrying the sacks was overjoyed at the prospect of receiving a large sum of money when, unexpectedly, another man took advantage of his momentary lapse in attention and stabbed him in the heart with a dagger.

“You…” The man in black carrying the sack pointed at him in disbelief.

"Don't blame me, it's your own fault for knowing too much." The man in black pulled out his dagger, wiped away the blood, and prepared to put it away.

Jin Haoyu, who was observing from the shadows, frowned. He had thought they had just stolen some treasure, but it turned out they had just kidnapped someone. Damn it.

Just as they were about to make their move, the man in black who was inspecting the goods suddenly killed the man in black carrying the sack.

Huh? Is this some kind of internal strife?

At that moment, the person inside the sack suddenly woke up and screamed in fright, "Ah~"

The man in black stopped sheathing his dagger, gripping it tightly and threatening coldly, "Shut up, or I'll kill you too."

The man in the sack immediately shut his mouth, his body trembling with fear. If his hands and feet hadn't been tied up, he probably would have covered his mouth with his hands. He kept praying in his heart: "Father, please come and save me! Waaah, your son is about to die."

His father didn't hear his prayers, and although Jin Haoyu didn't hear them either, he came out.

"A petty thief like you, now you're stealing people too?" Jin Haoyu's extremely sarcastic voice pierced their ears.

The man in black stared warily at Jin Haoyu, warning him in an icy tone, "A mere Golden Core cultivator, if you want to live, don't meddle in other people's business." If he weren't afraid that the noise of the fight would attract other people and expose the truth, he would definitely kill the man in front of him to silence him.

The bound man looked at Jin Haoyu with hopeful eyes, afraid that he would really leave.

"I'm really sorry, but I'll take care of this matter myself." Without further ado, he immediately channeled his spiritual energy and stepped forward to begin his work.

The man in black had his concerns, but he didn't; after all, he wasn't the one doing the bad thing.

As soon as the two exchanged blows, Jin Haoyu knew that he was an evil cultivator. Not to mention that the evil cultivator in front of him was at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he wouldn't be afraid even if he was at the middle stage. He just felt unlucky. It was like he could run into these scumbags everywhere he went. He didn't hold back when he attacked.

The man in black also sensed that Jin Haoyu was definitely hiding his cultivation level, and that he was actually being suppressed. He immediately had a very bad feeling.

The commotion quickly attracted other people. The man in black was extremely anxious and tried to take the bound person away despite being seriously injured. Unfortunately, Jin Haoyu intervened and blocked his path, snatching the hostage away as well.

At this moment, the guards of the black market arrived and surrounded the three of them. Jin Haoyu stopped fighting indifferently. In any case, the bigger the commotion, the better, so that the people here would be on guard. How dare the evil cultivator be so presumptuous here.

The head guard spoke up: "Insolence! Fighting is forbidden in the black market, don't you know that! Take them all away."

The bound boy immediately jumped up and shouted, "How dare you! Open your dog eyes and see who I am!" He didn't have much of an imposing manner, but the guards stopped what they were doing.

Apart from the man in black who was seriously injured and lying on the ground and was surrounded, no one looked at him. Everyone else looked at the person who was speaking and waited for his next move.

Caw caw caw... (A flock of crows flies by.)

The man was waiting for someone to ask him who he was, but no one asked.

The boy was embarrassed, but forced himself to remain calm and said, "Ahem~ I am the young master of the black market! The future owner of the black market!"

The head guard frowned as he looked at him. He had never seen the young master before and did not know what the young master looked like, but judging from his attire, he did not look like an ordinary child. He summoned his men to confirm the identity of the person in front of him.

Jin Haoyu glanced at him sideways, scanning him up and down. He didn't seem like the type at all! If this black market fell into his hands, it would be doomed.
