Chapter 145: The Minghuoshang Society

【The mysterious guest invited by the Minghuoshang Society, personally invited by Miss Tingyun】

【Shocking: For the sake of the Minghuoshang Society's guest, the Ten-Lords Commission actually, in public...】

【Suspected traveler of the Path of Preservation, yet the method used to resolve the mara-struck soldiers does not resemble the power of Preservation】

Watching the information refresh one entry after another, Lord Yan Qing's expression was one of astonishment.

This much?

He hadn't been browsing the Xianzhou forums much these past few days, and he never expected such things to happen on the Xianzhou.

Moreover, the commotion was not small.

Lord Yan Qing clicked on a video and saw two mara-struck soldiers beat a Cloud Knight until he vomited blood and flew backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Then, as they charged toward Lin Mo's location, all the force of their attacks was blocked by a golden shield, only to be countered by the shield's reflection and crushed to pieces.

Not only that, but previously, near the Jade Realm Gate, Lin Mo and Tingyun moved freely among many mara-struck soldiers, remaining completely unscathed.

The golden shields on the two of them did not falter in the slightest due to the mara-struck soldiers' attacks; Lin Mo and Tingyun moved as if they were walking through an empty land.

"Holy crap, that's badass."

"Since when are travelers of the Path of Preservation this powerful? Can even the shield be immune to the attacks of mara-struck soldiers?"

"No, this is definitely not the power of the Path of Preservation. The power of Preservation is absolutely not like this. Although it can defend, it is absolutely impossible to move with such ease."

"You say it isn't, so it isn't? Who are you?"

"I am a traveler who walks the Path of Preservation. Don't I know clearly whether I can do it or not?"

"........"

Below these videos, there were comments one after another.

Every comment had likes and guesses, making Lord Yan Qing's expression grave.

Just the scenes displayed in the footage were enough to surprise even Lord Yan Qing.

This kind of invincible-like defense, the ability to move as one pleases, and the powerful counter-shock force—the functionality was too strong.

"And the other party could judge my sword art at a single glance, and even moved a few times casually."

Lord Yan Qing whispered, thinking of the scene that had occurred earlier at the Ten-Lords Commission.

It seems he must pay a visit to this person tomorrow.

Thinking of the two gestures the other party made casually, which allowed him to easily resolve that Aurumaton, Lord Yan Qing felt there was more to it than that.

If dealing with other monsters, perhaps the trajectory of the sword moves could also easily resolve the opponent.

With such powerful insight, does the General know of such a person?

Thoughts swirled in Lord Yan Qing's mind, and he felt that he had to pay a visit no matter what.

If nothing else, just for the situation encountered this evening, he had to go and thank this guest.

This guest should not be simple; if he could obtain the other party's guidance, wouldn't that allow him to become even stronger?

Thinking of this, Lord Yan Qing took a deep breath and decided to visit the Minghuoshang Society tomorrow to see this person.

As Lord Yan Qing thought this, he boarded a starskiff and left.

On the other side.

Exalted Sanctum.

In a bustling restaurant.

In a private room, over a dozen people dressed in luxury, wearing gorgeous clothes, or sporting colorful diamond rings gathered together.

If there were any Xianzhou natives here, they would inevitably discover that these people were all chiefs or owners of various merchant societies.

There are many merchant guilds on the Xianzhou, but there are not many famous guild leaders; yet today, many of them have gathered in one place.

"I know the purpose of your visit. This is the information I have investigated, including that from the Alchemy Commission. What do you all think?"

The person sitting in the head seat said while tossing out a dozen printed documents, then opened their mouth: "Where is your investigative information?"

"We all brought it."

Hearing this person's words, some nodded gently and also took out their documents.

The dozen people present all flipped through them.

Looking at the information displayed, the merchants' brows furrowed one by one, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"You have all finished reading. Speak your thoughts."

Seeing that everyone had finished, the merchant in the head seat said in a deep voice: "This contract has nothing wrong with it; it just exploited some loopholes, but in reality, there is no problem. Yet Xie Jun suffered such painful torture and is still enduring it at the Alchemy Commission even now. Even Lady Bai Lu hasn't resolved it. Does this not prove from the side that Lady Bai Lu cannot resolve Xie Jun's current miserable state?"

"This contract indeed has no problems, at least I cannot see any."

Someone shook their head gently: "We present are all merchants. Not to say how powerful we are, but we still have an eye for these things. However, this contract indeed has no problems."

"In that case, the problem lies with the two signing parties."

One person spoke: "The Minghuoshang Society is suspected of having mastered some kind of curse method. Only this situation can prove Xie Jun's current encounter. The only person Xie Jun offended is the Minghuoshang Society." ===== CHAPTER 146 =====
