He couldn't forget about the star ink stone. Apart from scheming to get it back from Lin Er, Yu Zhe would use his master Nan Tianyong's privilege to come to the inner streets every few days because he often wandered around the market. All the large merchants, including the Hong Merchant Group, were his targets.
If one piece of star ink stone appeared in the Hong Merchant Group, then perhaps there would be a second piece. This was something that no one could say for sure.
And even if there wasn't a star ink stone, perhaps he could come across other treasures. He, Yu Zhe, had stayed in the library for three years, and his ability to recognize certain treasures was even better than some treasure appraisers in the Merchant Group. Perhaps he would have a chance to pick up some leftovers.
As for him appearing in the Hong Merchant Group at this moment, it wasn't strange at all. Although the Hong Merchant Group had said that his master, Nan Tianyong, was not welcome after the previous incident, they had never said that even he, Yu Zhe, could not enter.
And because of the same deduction as Lin Yi, although Yu Zhe had been paying attention to the outer and middle streets of the market, even urging his master Nan Tianyong to spend a lot of spirit jade to find some merchants to monitor Lin Er's movements, he had never thought that he would actually meet Lin Er at the Hong Merchant Group when the inner streets weren't open to the public!
The star ink stone was stolen, and he ambushed Lin Er halfway, but he was beaten half to death instead. Yu Zhe's resentment towards this Lin Er could be said to be bone-deep. He wanted nothing more than to skin him and drink his blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have schemed so much, and even dug three feet into the ground to find Lin Er!
But now that they really met face to face without any warning, Yu Zhe was like Lin Yi, instantly stunned.
After a moment, the two of them reacted at the same time, and their first reaction was to kill each other. After all, whether it was Lin Yi or Yu Zhe, they both knew that they would not rest until one of them died. Both of them knew that they would not rest until one of them was dead, and there was no possibility of them shaking hands and making peace.
This kind of enmity was far more fatal than the enmity between Lin Yi and the people in the Welcoming Pavilion. Xu Lingchong and Meng Jueguang also saw Lin Yi as a thorn in their side, but it wasn't to the point where they would not rest until one of them died. But it wasn't to the point where they would fight to the death. At the very least, they wouldn't take the risk to kill Lin Yi.
Even Yu Zhe's master, Nan Tianyong, did not have such a strong killing intent towards Lin Er. Only Yu Zhe was determined to kill Lin Er.
There was only one reason. Star Inkstone.
Cultivators were the most realistic group of people. In the face of benefits. There were no eternal friends, and there were no eternal enemies, unless it was someone who was deeply subdued, like Xiao Ran, Qiao Hongcai, Li Zhengming, and Zhong Pingliang!
Even if he had been beaten half to death by Lin Second, to tell the truth, Yu Zhe wouldn't have gone to such lengths to dig out Lin Second. There was only one reason for him to do this: the Star Inkstone.
The Star Inkstone. In the face of such a precious treasure that could change the fate of a cultivator, Yu Zhe wouldn't even recognize his own father. How could Yu Zhe possibly ignore Lin Er, an enemy who had beaten him half to death? That would really be strange.
In the blink of an eye, the duo's aura was raised to the extreme, and their strongest killing moves were about to be unleashed.
After all, they had already fought to the death before. They were both well aware of each other's strength. Whether it was Lin Yi, who had the upper hand, or Yu Zhe, who had the advantage in terms of level, they didn't dare underestimate the opponent in front of them. Otherwise, if they weren't careful, they might lose their lives.
Although they hadn't clashed yet, the killing moves of both sides had already been revealed. One was the Fatal Chain Sword Twenty-Four Forms, and the other was the Fiery Eight Trigrams Palm Twenty-Two Forms. The powerful aura that the two instantly unleashed caused the surrounding display racks to tremble. It was as if a storm was about to come.
The surrounding customers couldn't help but be shocked. Although Yu Zhe and Lin Yi were at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment, one was at the mid stage of Foundation Establishment. In a place like the inner street, this kind of strength couldn't even be considered powerful, but they had no intentions of interfering.
Those who could enter the inner street were either rich or noble. Who knew if these two were the grandsons of some big shot? If they rashly interfered, they might get into trouble, so they might as well watch the show from the sidelines.
However, in the next moment, the shaking display racks suddenly calmed down, and the strongest killing moves that Yu Zhe and Lin Yi had prepared to unleash also disappeared at the same time. It gave people the feeling that none of this had happened.
This wasn't because the two of them stopped voluntarily, but because they had no choice but to stop. This was because an unfathomable aura that was far more powerful than them had enveloped them in an instant. Faced with such an insurmountable difference in level, whether it was Lin Yi or Yu Zhe, they couldn't ignore this warning.
If they didn't care and continued to attack, they might have become two corpses before they could even unleash their killing moves, never to step out of the Hong Merchant Guild again.
"Settle your personal grudges outside. The Hong Merchant Guild forbids fighting, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite. Please conduct yourselves with dignity." The cold voice of a guest expert traveled into everyone's ears. Although they couldn't see him in person, just this unfathomable aura was enough to intimidate one side.
Lin Yi couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He had been on the Heavenly Island for more than two months, and he had seen many experts. However, judging from the aura alone, this guest expert of the Hong Merchant Guild could definitely be ranked in the top ten.
Counting carefully, the other experts who could be ranked above were probably only the few elders from the Three Pavilions who had appeared before, and Ram Jie, the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, who was only seen once in a hundred years. Other than them, the guest expert of the Hong Merchant Guild was the strongest.
Any random guest expert had such terrifying strength. As the top chamber of commerce on the Heavenly Five Islands, the Hong Merchant Guild's background was really unfathomable.
Lin Yi was just shocked, but at this moment, Yu Zhe was really frightened.
His master, Nantian Yong, had suffered a great loss a while ago. Ever since he was thrown out of the window on the second floor, even with Nantian Yong's arrogant and overbearing character and his powerful background that was not inferior to the second generation young masters of the Soaring Sky Pavilion, he still didn't dare to take a step into the Hong Merchant Guild.
Even when he brought Yu Zhe into the inner street recently, he was a little scared and tried to hide as far away as possible, for fear of provoking the dissatisfaction of the few guest experts of the Hong Merchant Guild.
