Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: Bruise Square

Mo Ningchen looked at Su Chengyu with a somewhat strange expression and said, "You’re not scared, are you?"

Su Chengyu shook his head. "It’s not a matter of courage but of whether it’s appropriate."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Mo Ningchen asked with interest.

"When others show me malice, I naturally return it a hundredfold, but it’s a different matter if it’s purely a trade. Resorting to underhanded tactics doesn’t sit right with me."

You Ming sneered upon hearing this. "Then why don’t you just go and gather the information openly? Tomorrow we’ll operate separately, I don’t want someone’s kindness to hold us back."

After dropping that remark, You Ming quickly returned to his room, not giving Su Chengyu a chance to speak again.

Mo Ningchen shrugged his shoulders. "That’s how You Ming is, nothing’s more important than the mission to her, and moreover..."

"It involves the Nether Clan, doesn’t it?"

Su Chengyu caught the crux of the matter in an instant.

Mo Ningchen gave a wry smile. "Glad you understand. For the Nether Clan, You Ming has some inexplicable obsession. I’d rather not say more since it delves into her private affairs. If you ever get the chance, you should ask her yourself."

Su Chengyu nodded, then turned to Mo Ningchen. "Are you also going to the underground market tomorrow?"

"Of course, it’s worth a look. Gathering intelligence is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The underground market might indeed have the information we need, but it’s not guaranteed we’ll find it. However, I’ve heard that Linbei City sells everything you could think of— if you want to make an honest trade, you might as well try your luck. I saw your approach earlier; it seems you know quite a bit about this."

Su Chengyu nodded. "I make my own elixirs, so I’m a bit familiar with the prices of various items."

"Well then, good luck. Remember to carry the Demon Slayer Saint’s token with you at all times. If anything unusual happens, activate the token straight away, and those of us nearby will be alerted."

Clearly, Mo Ningchen was going to try his luck as well; what he hoped to find in the market, Su Chengyu could only guess.

The inn was a common one, but it was under the constant guard of Martial King; the night passed uneventfully.

During the day, You Ming left the inn early and Su Chengyu didn’t know what she was up to. While waiting for the market to start, Su Chengyu continued to use Underworld Stones to disperse the Phantom Yin Poison in his body.

During this time, Mo Ningchen came to see Su Chengyu, and after discussing some matters regarding Martial Arts, he returned to his room.

As night fell and the night market was about to start, the fact that You Ming hadn’t returned yet made Su Chengyu somewhat worried.

Mo Ningchen stretched lazily: "Why worry so much? Lady You Ming is Linbei City’s Black Rose, she’s far more familiar with this place than we are; she doesn’t need our concern."

"But still..."

"Don’t worry, You Ming is a bit stubborn, but she’s not foolish. She’d definitely activate the Saint Envoy’s token if there’s danger. If you’re really worried, why not head to the underground market? You might bump into her there."

Su Chengyu nodded and finally set off together, after asking a senior executor about the exact location of the black market downstairs, they both headed towards their destination.

At Brusa Square’s underground center.

Entering from the parking lot, at the deepest part of the parking lot, Su Chengyu saw two burly men guarding either side.

In the terms of the Bei Luo Empire, they were known as Fighters, essentially the so-called Martial Artists.

Both were close in strength to a Martial King, naturally more than enough to deal with ordinary scattered folk.

After confirming the entrance tickets of Su Chengyu and Mo Ningcheng, one of them led Su Chengyu into a small dark hut at the back of the parking lot.

Inside the dark hut, Su Chengyu saw a spatial passage.

"Small Opening?"

Mo Ningcheng spoke in confusion; his first thought was that the market was located within another Small Opening, but he felt something was off.

Su Chengyu glanced over and whispered softly, "It should just be a spatial crack leading to another place, except that place isn’t an independent space."

"This brother has good eyesight, from Xia Country?"

The North Luo burly man responded in not so fluent Xia language upon hearing Su Chengyu’s words.

As the most important trade city between Bei Luo Empire and Xia Country, it wasn’t unusual for people here to speak Xia language.

"Yes, I came here to buy some things and hope to find what I’m looking for."

The North Luo burly man grinned and said, "Then you’re lucky today. In this black market, the Duke of Night Raven himself will come down to sell a batch of his private collection, although the price..."

"The price is negotiable, as long as the items are right. My Beitang Family is willing to trade even if it means spending all our resources."

"Beitang Family?"

The North Luo burly man’s eyes lit up, his look at Su Chengyu changed in an instant, and he quickly produced a letter of recommendation, "This is my recommendation letter. Take it to the Duke of Night Raven’s event later for a discount."

"Thank you, brother."

Su Chengyu smiled as he accepted the recommendation letter, then he and Mo Ningchen fully entered the pathway.

After a brief moment of dizziness, they were immediately greeted by the bright lights of a night market.

Although there were still some signs of electricity, the nearby streets had a clear sense of antiquity, indicating just how long Linbei City’s underground black market had existed.

"It’s still under Brusa Square, but it looks like we’re a few thousand meters under the ground."

Mo Ningchen looked up and immediately made the judgment.

Su Chengyu nodded and glanced at the recommendation letter in his hand. Just as he was about to speak, Mo Ningchen waved his hand and said, "I won’t need it. It was your own interest that made you specifically mention your Beitang Family identity. I’m just here to casually look around, gather some intelligence. You can go ahead and look for what you want."

"Thanks."

Su Chengyu said gratefully upon hearing Mo Ningchen’s words.

He naturally also wanted to gather intelligence, but ever since he had heard about the unique aspects of this black market.

Su Chengyu was also planning to see if the black market had anything he cared about, such as things that could help Ye Qingci.

Knowing that Ye Qingci had lost to Long Xuan merely because of lacking the demeanor of an Immortal, Su Chengyu had resolved to help Qingci recover.

Be it Elixirs, heavenly treasures, or even top-ranking Cultivation Techniques, once he found a lead, Su Chengyu would spare no expense.

Mo Ningchen smiled and said goodbye to Su Chengyu, leaving ahead.

Su Chengyu glanced at the letter of recommendation; there was still half an hour before the special event started, so he decided to stroll around the area first.

The merchants near the entrance were mostly local traders of Linbei City or some speculators.

Although there was a variety of goods for sale, most of them capitalized on information disparities.

In simpler terms, it was about selling Bei Luo Empire’s items at high prices to Xia citizens or vice versa.

These days, not many people were caught by this trick, but once someone fell for it, it was enough to sustain a merchant for a good half month.

Su Chengyu selectively passed by these places and ventured deeper, starting to see many valuable items.

Apart from some heavenly treasures, what interested Su Chengyu the most were some Martial Arts scriptures from Bei Luo Empire.

The West was scarce in Martial Arts, and what had been passed down were mostly techniques related to military formations and killings.

These Martial Arts methods might be less mystical, but in terms of lethality, they certainly had their unique aspects.
