Chapter 428: The Trade Fair
The Small Cold Domain cultivators lacked strong fighting will, missing their best opportunity to pursue and eliminate the Tianxing Alliance cultivators. After exchanging a few hurried blows, both sides disengaged.
Without using his astras, Qin Sang’s combat strength would be greatly diminished, so he could only watch as the Tianxing Alliance cultivators fled.
After regrouping with the Small Cold Domain cultivators and verifying each other’s identities, he learned that they had not been assigned to a mission together but were actually on their way to attend a secret trade fair.
However, after the trade fair ended, they were unexpectedly discovered by infiltrating Tianxing Alliance cultivators, leading to the conflict.
No wonder their battle formation had been so disorganized.
Fortunately, they had not strayed far from the trade fair’s location at the time and had not been too scattered. Otherwise, the Tianxing Alliance would have picked them off one by one, and they would never have lasted this long.
Qin Sang was well aware that with so many cultivators gathering in the Yuncang Marshlands, secret trade fairs were bound to exist. However, he had been in seclusion, focusing on cultivation, and had never taken the time to seek them out.
Now that the opportunity had presented itself, he naturally would not let it slip by. He immediately inquired about the details.
The secret trade fair had not been large, and after being exposed, the location was no longer safe. The organizers, still recovering from the ordeal, had no plans to hold another one in the near future. However, from one of the cultivators, Qin Sang learned about another trade fair’s location.
This fair was well hidden and opened once every three months. Participation required a special token.
The scale of this fair was considerably larger, attracting a mixed crowd of righteous and demonic cultivators, as well as rogue cultivators. Most participants were Foundation Building cultivators, and one could often find valuable items there.
