Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Within the cold wave, ice mist spread.
Before Xu Zhangqing and the others, whether in the sky or underground, everything was obscured.
Even divine sense probing was obstructed by an invisible force.
One could sense there was something inside, but what exactly it was remained unclear.
"Judging by the spiritual power fluctuations of this thing, at least Golden Core Stage, right?!"
"Are spirit worms that terrifying?"
"What do we do?"
Facing this situation, Hu Bugui and the others were extremely nervous.
Xu Zhangqing pondered: "I have a way."
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Hu Bugui couldn't suppress his impatient temper, stepped forward and asked: "Lao Xu, what way do you have?"
Xu Zhangqing blinked: "Just run!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and only came back to their senses after a while.
Then, each person's gaze and expression was more or less a bit strange.
Xu Zhangqing said matter-of-factly: "We are on an escort mission, not a demon-hunting mission."
"Rather than wasting time here, and possibly even offending someone, it's better to take a detour and change direction to keep going."
"You must know, this is the 'No-Management' Area."
"No immortal sect, dynasty, or power has the right to manage this place."
"Put simply, as long as no particularly big commotion is caused, or any very obvious harm, basically no one cares about anything that happens here."
Yu Shi rarely raised his thumb: "You kid are truly a talent."
Lu Wu nodded, deeply agreeing with this: "Indeed."
Spirit Rong Night, Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, and the others all had wonderfully expressive faces.
Especially Miao Huayu and Xu Linshan, after listening they both seemed to think it made a lot of sense.
Even in Su Jinli's pupils at this moment there was a hint of a smile, though faint, it could not be concealed.
Seeing everyone agreed with him, Xu Zhangqing smiled, then controlled Broken Moon Flowing Frost and immediately flew toward the left.
Because the departure speed was too fast and too decisive, it made the thing in the ice mist stunned for a moment, feeling surprised by this.
Obviously they didn't expect that, esteemed immortal sect disciples, and moreover a whole ship of Golden Core Stage cultivators, several of whom were Earth Grade Golden Cores.
Their first reaction upon encountering this situation was not only not to confront it head-on, but instead directly run away.
……
……
After bypassing this area, Xu Zhangqing controlled Broken Moon Flowing Frost to recalibrate direction and continue forward along the previous route.
Hu Bugui sat down with a thump, grinning: "Still gotta be Lao Xu; if it were us few, we'd really fight that thing."
Lu Wu said seriously: "Actually... I really want to fight that thing."
Spirit Rong Night waved his hand: "Forget it, we're not here on vacation, and we haven't received any tasks regarding the No-Management Area."
While everyone chatted idly, Xu Zhangqing was secretly alert: "Encountering this situation right after leaving Fengrao Commandery is too coincidental."
However, for now it's just speculation.
If we encounter it again, then it's definitely a problem.
After all, the matter in Fengrao Commandery shook many people's interests.
Just like that, Broken Moon Flowing Frost kept flying forward.
Until three hours later, a large area of shadow suddenly appeared in the distance.
If observed carefully, one would discover some of these shadows were merging, while others were separating.
Xu Zhangqing swept with his divine sense, surprised: "So many flying ships, flying boats, and flying shuttles?"
Su Jinli's expression remained unchanged, she explained lightly: "Barring accidents, we've run into the No-Management Area's Trading Area; we can go up and take a look, maybe there's something you're interested in."
Yu Shi's eyes brightened: "Since it's the No-Management Area's Trading Area, the things inside must be extremely abundant; maybe there are refining tool materials I need."
Lu Wu reminded: "Be careful, the things here aren't clean; if the original owner happens to show up, all sorts of trouble are unavoidable."
Xu Zhangqing glanced at the others again and asked: "Are you going or not?"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, exchanging glances with each other.
Then one by one, they all started nodding.
Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing no longer hesitated: "Just treat it as seeing the world."
Afterward, Broken Moon Flowing Frost slowly approached the Flying Crossing Point.
Perhaps to avoid trouble, Su Jinli disguised herself; although she still wore a red dress, her face was covered by a mass of white mist.
Seeing this, everyone followed suit and began to disguise themselves.
First they applied Static Breath Talismans to lower their own auras.
Next they put on black robes, or wore masks covering their features.
After all, this No-Management Area was too chaotic.
To survive here, one must rely on strength, or rely on influence.
Especially Immortal Sect disciples; once their identity is leaked, they will be deliberately targeted by certain people.
Among those present, although there were existences at Golden Core Perfection, and even several at Golden Core Middle Stage, it is better to have one less trouble than one more; therefore, no one acted too arrogantly.
To put it bluntly, within the territory of the Five Great Dynasties, everyone gives Immortal Sect disciples a bit of face.
But in a ruleless area like Dang Bu Guan, anyone can become a "sheep".
Especially Immortal Sect disciples, who are even more the first to bear the brunt.
After everyone finished their disguises, they successively leaped down from the Broken Moon Flowing Frost.
The group tacitly gathered together, following the central passage where the crowd was densest, heading toward those three giant flying ships in the distance — which was also the center of the Trading Area — their gazes vigilantly scanning both sides from time to time.
All along the way, there were people everywhere.
Some had just disembarked from flying boats and flying shuttles, hurriedly counting their storage bags.
Some stood at the side sizing up passersby with sinister gazes, fingers unconsciously stroking the weapons at their waists.
Xu Zhangqing discovered that many places had bloodstains, or traces of hacking and slashing.
From this it can be seen that even in a Trading Area with extremely large crowds, fights still occur.
It seems the entire "Dang Bu Guan" area, even this place specially for transactions, has no rules to constrain it.
Of course, the innermost trading spots might be different.
At this moment, Xu Zhangqing and the others received Su Jinli's voice transmission: "The entire Trading Area is divided into three parts.
The center is the formal trading point, formed by the three giant ships Wanbao, Wanhui, and Wan Gui joined together; the rules there are the most complete, and no one dares make trouble.
The outer ring is where loose cultivators set up stalls; one can attempt to trade there, but whether one gets cheated or something happens depends entirely on one's own judgment and the stall owner's conscience.
The right corner is the famous Fence Area; the goods there cannot see the light of day; once money and goods are cleared, upon leaving there is no further responsibility."
After listening, Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly, thinking to himself: "As expected, it matches my guess.
But for her to understand so clearly, she probably hasn't come to this kind of place for the first time."
Regarding Su Jinli, he didn't know much.
He only knew she was a Core Disciple who made a name for herself very early, and was one step away from Nascent Soul.
This person seemed to have been very famous from childhood to adulthood, belonging to the Heaven's Pride Daughter category.
Her age wasn't great either; until now she had only cultivated for a hundred years.
In the mortal world that would be grandmother-aged, but in the cultivation world she is no different from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl!
