Chapter 615: Grand Cultivator Trade Fair, Uninvited Guest
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Jiang?
This time I came uninvited, so it is I who have caused you trouble.”
Wu Bingyun smiled.
Although she is known as Perfected Lord Icy Sea and belongs to the Ice Jade Palace, with even her name containing the character “Ice,” her demeanor is not at all cold.
Instead, she gives off a warm and welcoming feeling.
At this moment, she entered the cave abode with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
Once they were seated, Shen Ruyan, sitting next to Jiang Chengxuan, said, “Fellow Daoist Wu, do you have any important matters on this visit to us?” “It’s not so much an important matter, just an invitation.”
Wu Bingyun then took out an invitation from her body and placed it in front of Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“In a few days, the grand cultivator Trade Fair hosted by our Ice Jade Palace will take place.
All the grand cultivators under the Supreme Celestial Sect will attend.
If Fellow Daoist Jiang and Shen have time, you can come and have a look.
Perhaps there will be something of interest to both of you.”
The Supreme Celestial Sect mentioned by Wu Bingyun is the sect where Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss belongs.
Clearly, this exchange is mainly for grand cultivators affiliated with the Supreme Celestial Sect and its subordinate forces.
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan were somewhat tempted.
Such a large-scale trade fair might indeed have what they needed.
Thinking this, Jiang Chengxuan immediately said to Wu Bingyun,
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wu.
When the time comes, if we have nothing else to do, we will definitely be there.”
“Good, I will await your honorable presence.”
Wu Bingyun smiled and stood up.
She apparently had no intention of staying longer. After bidding farewell to Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, she left.
Watching Wu Bingyun’s departing figure, Jiang Chengxuan fell into thought.
At this moment, Shen Ruyan said, “Husband, are you thinking that Fellow Daoist Wu’s invitation might be under the instruction of Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss?”
“That’s right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“After all, given the current situation in Southern Wilderness, it’s impossible that Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss wouldn’t notice the arrival of cultivators like us, nor would he fail to react in some way.”
“So, is this invitation from Fellow Daoist Wu both an invitation and a probe?”
“That’s about right.”
Jiang Chengxuan nodded.
“But for now, at least there doesn’t seem to be any malice from the other party.
As for more, everything will become clear when we go to the Ice Jade Palace.”
At the same time.
Wu Bingyun, upon returning to the Ice Jade Palace, called her junior sister An Qinyao, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
“How is it, Junior Sister An? Did you find out the true background of Jiang Chuan and Shen Yan?”
An Qinyao, who was wearing a pink dress, could not help but shake her head when she heard this.
“I’m sorry, Senior Sister, I haven’t been able to find out their exact background yet.
But I can confirm that they don’t seem to have much relation to the major forces of the Eastern End and the Central Plain.”
As she finished speaking, the communication jade talisman she carried suddenly lit up.
Upon checking the communication jade talisman, An Qinyao’s face immediately showed a look of surprise.
“What’s wrong, Junior Sister An?”
Wu Bingyun noticed An Qinyao’s abnormality and immediately asked curiously.
An Qinyao immediately smiled and said,
“Senior Sister Wu, I think we can basically rest assured about Jiang Chuan and Shen Yan’s identities.”
“Oh? Why is that?” asked Wu Bingyun, somewhat surprised.
An Qinyao handed over the jade talisman to Wu Bingyun.
“This message comes from our insider in the opposing camp. It says that the Heaven’s Gate Sect and the Great Ling Imperial Palace are desperately searching for two people who killed cultivators of Heaven’s Gate Sect.
Interestingly, this incident first occurred a few years ago.
Although it seems unrelated on the surface, I don’t believe in such coincidences in this world.
Senior Sister, you can take a look yourself.”
Taking the communication jade talisman from An Qinyao, Wu Bingyun only took a look and smiled.
“If I’m not mistaken, those two who killed the Heaven’s Gate Sect cultivators must be Brother Jiang and Sister Shen.
Our insider suggests that the Great Ling Imperial Palace had once used calculation techniques to trace their identities and origins but ended up with nothing.
Not only that, but they also suffered a great backlash.
Interestingly, I also asked Daoist Nether Star of the Supreme Celestial Sect last year to divine their origins. He had barely started when he informed me that these two were beyond divination and that attempting it would bring backlash. So.
I have every reason to suspect that the people the Great Ling Imperial Palace is looking for are indeed Brother Jiang and Sister Shen.”
At this point, Wu Bingyun paused for a moment before continuing,
“If this is the case, then there should be no issue with the identities of Brother Jiang and Sister Shen.
After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Moreover, we might even become true friends with them.”
A few days later.
Ice Jade Palace.
Powerful streaks of light descended on the highest peak of the Ice Jade Palace, the Divine Ice Peak.
Looking around, all present were Nascent Soul cultivators, with six or seven of them exuding deep and vast auras, far surpassing ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.
Clearly, these six or seven people were all late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although the trade fair was meant for grand cultivators, rules are not rigid, and people are flexible.
There was no rule against grand cultivators bringing their people to see the world and make new acquaintances.
While the crowd was greeting and conversing with each other, two incredibly powerful auras suddenly approached from afar.
Everyone couldn’t help but turn their heads to look.
The aura alone made it clear that the newcomers were Nascent Soul grand cultivators.
Wu Bingyun, the host of the trade fair, smiled and stepped forward to welcome the two figures.
“Brother Jiang, Sister Shen, you have finally arrived.”
The two parties exchanged pleasantries, causing many in the crowd to look on with surprise and curiosity.
Clearly, those present at the venue were unfamiliar with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
However, what surprised them the most was Wu Bingyun’s attitude towards these two individuals.
“Fairy An, do you know who those two are?”
At this moment, a young man in a black Daoist robe appeared beside An Qinyao and asked her with a smile.
“Fellow Daoist Nether Star…”
An Qinyao was initially startled to see the young man who had suddenly appeared beside her. After pondering for a moment, she briefed Perfected Lord Nether Star about the two.
“I see.”
Perfected Lord Nether Star nodded thoughtfully.
After a while.
Wu Bingyun, accompanied by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, joined the crowd and began introducing them to the cultivators attending the trade fair. When she brought Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan to Perfected Lord Nether Star, he took the initiative to greet them with a smile.
Tm Nether Star from the Supreme Celestial Sect. I’m very happy to meet the two of you here.”
Then, Perfected Lord Nether Star cupped his fists at Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan.
“So it’s Fellow Daoist Nether Star. Nice to meet you.”
Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan immediately returned the greeting politely.
They had already heard from Wu Bingyun about Perfected Lord Nether Star, the direct disciple of Heavenly Lord Scripture Abyss, whose cultivation level was also at the ninth level of Nascent Soul.
After exchanging pleasantries, they all took their seats at the main area of the trade fair, as arranged by Wu Bingyun.
More and more cultivators arrived.
But no more grand cultivators appeared, mainly early and mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Their reason for coming here was very simple. They were here to visit the Ice Jade Palace.
Everyone was well aware of this.
It was impossible for Wu Bingyun, An Qinyao, and the others to do such a rude thing as to chase them away.
No matter what, they were guests from afar.
Since they were here, the Ice Jade Palace had to treat them politely.
However, these people were not arranged to sit at the main seat, which was arranged for the group of Peak Nascent Soul cultivators. Instead, they were arranged to sit in another area for them to communicate.
While the atmosphere grew more lively and the grand cultivators, including Jiang Chengxuan, were about to start the trading segment, two incredibly strong auras suddenly approached from the distant sky, their auras surpassing most of the grand cultivators present.
Peak Nascent Soul.
Almost instantly, Jiang Chengxuan and the others assessed the newcomers’ cultivation level and strength.
However, who could these new arrivals be at this time?
Wu Bingyun didn’t recall inviting such powerful peak Nascent Soul cultivators.
“No, those two, they are…”
Suddenly, a grand cultivator named Wan Cang, with a sudden change in expression, slowly uttered two names:
“They are Perfected Lord Tianfu and Perfected Lord Tianhe from the Heaven’s Gate Sect.”
“What? It’s them?”
Everyone’s expressions changed noticeably.
Clearly, no one expected that cultivators from Heaven’s Gate Sect would appear at this trade fair.
Wu Bingyun’s face turned extremely grim.
Even a fool could tell that Tianfu and Tianhe’s arrival at their event was not with good intentions.
Unquestionably, they were unwelcome guests..
