Martial Arts: I Have a Wilderness World

Chapter 645: Chapter 329: Paying a Visit (Part 3)

As for the materials, they were certainly identical. Whether the other party believed him was their own affair.

Soon, Li Sanjiang, riding his Flying Sword, brought Cheng Zongyang back to the underground Teleportation Array in the Cheng Mansion.

Taking the Token Cheng Zongyang had given him, Li Sanjiang inserted it into the intact Teleportation Array. The array emitted a faint glow, and the next moment, the two of them vanished.

Li Sanjiang looked at the Teleportation Array inside the cave and immediately began his inspection. After confirming there were no issues, he had Cheng Zongyang lead him down into the valley.

Soon, when the white-robed young man, Li Sanjiang, saw the utter devastation in the valley, he was visibly startled. The ground looked as if it had been plowed over, covered in scorched earth, upturned soil, toppled trees, shredded plants, and the charred, stiff corpses of animals. It was impossible to tell what the valley had originally looked like.

He soon followed Cheng Zongyang to the location of the Teleportation Array.

Gazing at the most severely damaged area, Li Sanjiang fell silent for a moment before beginning to examine the remaining Array Materials.

No traces were visible on the ground, but his methods were practiced and professional, every move deliberate and cautious. Cheng Zongyang watched him nervously, praying, ’Please don’t let him find any flaws.’

After a thorough inspection, Li Sanjiang found nothing out of the ordinary. The Array Materials were identical to those in the underground teleportation chamber. He immediately turned to Cheng Zongyang and said, "You had best not be hiding anything. Otherwise, you’ll have to face the consequences."

Cheng Zongyang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "I wouldn’t dare hide anything. Every word I’ve said is the truth."

Li Sanjiang nodded slightly, then took Cheng Zongyang aboard his Flying Sword and returned to the office.

"Master, I’ve inspected the Teleportation Array. I found nothing unusual; the materials are basically identical," Li Sanjiang said respectfully.

Zhang Ye waved his hand and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, my Immortal Sect will naturally not make things difficult for you. You may go. As for the rest, Sanjiang will speak with you."

Cheng Zongyang felt a great sense of relief and quickly cupped his hands. "Thank you, Steward Zhang. I will be sure to remember this."

With that, Cheng Zongyang turned and followed the white-robed young man out of the living room.

Arriving at the small courtyard from before, Li Sanjiang stopped and looked at Cheng Zongyang. "Is your Jade Peak Commerce Association registered with the Immortal Sect?"

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang’s heart nearly skipped a beat. He quickly replied, "I’m not sure about that. After all, I’m just an Innate Martial Artist, a low-level member who runs errands on the periphery. But since the Jade Peak Commerce Association is in Kan City, it should be registered, right?"

The white-robed young man nodded slightly, not seeming to mind this detail, and continued, "Do you have any more Foundation Establishment Pills?"

Cheng Zongyang didn’t understand his meaning. He first shook his head and said, "Not at the moment. I’ll only know for sure after I return."

The white-robed young man said, "The Immortal Sect has its own rules; we don’t restrict lower-level factions from selling Foundation Establishment Pills. But your association uses them as compensation for Spirit Stones, which just means you’re ultimately after the Spirit Stones. Next time you have any, you can find me at the office. I will purchase them from you at the auction price of fifty-three thousand Spirit Stones apiece."

This time, Cheng Zongyang was quite surprised. He had never expected such a turn of events.

But this encounter showed him that the people of the Carefree Immortal Sect were truly fair in their dealings. They hadn’t made things difficult or found fault with him just because he was a mere Innate Martial Artist. They hadn’t even killed him with a single palm strike at the slightest hint of suspicion or anything of the sort.

He then said, "I will report this to my Steward upon my return. The Carefree Immortal Sect is known for its fairness and excellent reputation. I am certain our Commerce Association will be happy to agree."

Li Sanjiang nodded again and finally added, "One last thing. No Teleportation Arrays are permitted in Zi’an County other than those belonging to the Immortal Sect. If we discover one again, we won’t be so lenient."

A chill went down Cheng Zongyang’s spine. He cupped his hands and said, "Understood."

After that, there were no further instructions. A disciple led Cheng Zongyang out and, at the same time, released Li Yihuo and his companion.
