Zhao Hai was currently sitting in a restaurant on the outskirts of the Nether Ghost Sect. His ears weren't idle as he listened to the conversations of the people in the restaurant.
This restaurant was the largest restaurant in the city. Inside the restaurant, there were many cultivators eating. These cultivators were Rogue Cultivators, and the main customers of the restaurant were these Rogue Cultivators.
To be honest, Zhao Hai was envious of these Rogue Cultivators. This was because in the Underground World, Rogue Cultivators didn't lack money. As long as they went outside the city, they could find a place where there was no one and claim it as their own. As long as they paid taxes to the city, the income from the land would all belong to them. They could even catch some Red Goblins to farm. They didn't need to manage the land at all. All they needed to do was to lie at home and count the money.
This kind of life was very enviable. It wasn't like the True Spirit Realm. If the cultivators of the True Spirit Realm didn't go out to do missions, they would have no income. And those without income could only wait to starve to death. This was very similar to the people of the Great Sects in the underground world.
In the underground world, the disciples of the Great Sects were very envious of the Rogue Cultivators. This was because they didn't need to be too tired and could live a good life. They didn't need to worry about food and clothing, unlike them who had to run around every day.
However, what the disciples of the Great Sects didn't know was that the Rogue Cultivators were even more envious of them. This was because they could cultivate higher grade Cultivation Methods and had countless cultivation resources. Compared to people like them who could only eat and drink, the Cultivators of the Great Sects were walking the path that cultivators should walk. Moving forward, working hard, this was what a cultivator should do.
The reason why these Rogue Cultivators gathered in this city was because the annual trade fair was about to begin. In this trade fair, all the items would be sold at a lower price. Most of the items sold in this trade fair were related to cultivation. It can be said that the annual trade fair was a festival for Rogue Cultivators. Many Rogue Cultivators saved up for a day and waited for today to buy some cheap items. This would make it easier for them to cultivate for the next year.
This trade fair would last for ten days. During these ten days, not only would rogue cultivators come to the city to trade, but even cultivators from sects would also come here to buy some cheap things.
Although the trade fair had already begun, the Rogue Cultivators weren't in a hurry to snatch things. This was because they knew that there wouldn't be anything good on the first day of the trade fair. The people who came to buy things today were those with low strength. They didn't need good things, so they would rush to buy things today. Those with a bit of strength would wait for two days before making a move.
Since these Cultivators came to the restaurant to eat, the restaurant naturally became the most well-informed landlord in the city. Zhao Hai came here mainly to inquire about information.
At this time, Zhao Hai already knew that his target was Liu Ze. This person was the youngest genius of the Dark Ghost Sect. He was also doted on by the Dark Ghost Sect. In the Dark Ghost Sect, he could get anything he wanted. This showed how much the sect valued him.
To be honest, Zhao Hai really didn't like people like Liu Ze. This kind of person was like a flower in a greenhouse. It was impossible for him to become a talent.
However, Zhao Hai also believed that the Dark Ghost Sect, as a sect with considerable strength, wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. They would definitely send Liu Ze out to train in the future.
Just as Zhao Hai was thinking about this, a voice suddenly came, "Senior Brother, do you think that the sect really agreed to Senior Brother Liu coming out to train this time? I can see that the sect treasures Senior Brother Liu a lot. How could they let him come to a place like the trade fair where crooks mix in with the honest folk? I heard that other sects have already set their eyes on Senior Brother Liu. They want to get rid of this genius. "
Another cultivator sighed softly and said, "Don't talk too much. If someone hears you, it will only put Senior Brother Liu in more danger. Okay, let's finish eating and leave early. Protecting Senior Brother Liu's safety is the most important thing."
The cultivator who spoke before couldn't help but sigh, "Why don't we have such good talent? If we have such good talent, I can be like Senior Brother Liu and have someone protect me every day. "
Another cultivator said in a deep voice, "Don't talk so much. We don't have that kind of strength. What's the point of thinking so much? Let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll go change shifts. In fact, we're just decorations. If an expert comes, what can we do? I heard that the sect sent an elder to protect Senior Brother Liu, and we're just assistants.
The cultivator who spoke before nodded and no longer spoke. Before long, the two men finished eating, paid for their meal, and left the restaurant. Zhao Hai was keenly aware that several cultivators followed the two men as they left.
After the two groups of people left, two more cultivators turned around and left. They all went in the same direction. From beginning to end, Zhao Hai didn't even look at them. He just drank and ate leisurely.
Of course, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. Therefore, the cultivators who went out had Flowing Silver Dust on their bodies. With their strength, it was impossible for them to discover the Flowing Silver Dust.
Now that Zhao Hai had touched the threshold of the Dust Splitting Realm, he knew what the Dust Splitting Realm was all about. Although the Dust Splitting Realm had the effect of separating dust, even if a speck of dust fell on their body, they would still know. However, Dust Splitting Realm Cultivators couldn't maintain this state all the time. Only when they used their heart to feel the changes in their body would they be able to feel the changes in the dust.
It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai was able to use Flowing Silver Dust to track them. He wanted to see who these three groups of people were.
The answer soon appeared. Among the three groups of people, the first group was indeed from the Dark Ghost Sect. But just like what the two people said, they were just small fries in the Dark Ghost Sect. No one would pay attention to them.
The second group of people should be people sent by the various sects to assassinate Liu Ze. These people had the same goal, but they didn't join forces. Looking at their appearance, Zhao Hai knew that they were dead. It was impossible for them to succeed because they were scattered.
On the other hand, the third group of people couldn't be understood. These people weren't sent by the Great Sects to assassinate Liu Ze. On the contrary, they were most likely sent by the Dark Ghost Sect. They wanted to see who wanted to kill Liu Ze. The people who chased after Liu Ze were seen by the third group of people. They were exposed.
Zhao Hai didn't care about what would happen after that. After he got his things, he went to the Trading Center to take a look. The Trading Center was on the main street of the city. There were many cultivators lining up their stalls. There were some talismans, pills, and other materials on the stalls.
Just like what the people in the building said, there wasn't anything good on the first day of trading. Zhao Hai strolled around the square for a while before he returned to his hotel to rest.
Zhao Hai didn't hide his strength. He was now a Soul Fusion Stage Cultivator. Naturally, he couldn't bargain with newcomer or Clone Stage Cultivators. That would be too shameful. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't buy anything from the Trading Center.
After returning to the hotel, Zhao Hai went to his room. Naturally, he wasn't really resting. Instead, he was observing the movements of the three groups of people through the Space.
The first group of two low-level cultivators from the Dark Ghost Sect didn't have anything to say. They were just bait, bait that didn't know anything. After they returned to Liu Ze's room, they helped Liu Ze guard the door. They didn't leave for even a moment.
The Dark Ghost Sect originally had a subordinate sect in the city. However, Liu Ze didn't stay in the subordinate sect. Instead, he stayed in the best hotel in the city. No matter how one looked at it, they didn't look like they were here to train. Instead, they looked like they were here to travel.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that it was right for Liu Ze not to stay in the subordinate sect. That way, they would be a bigger target. Moreover, the people in the subordinate sect weren't necessarily loyal. It was better to stay in the hotel.
The Nether Ghost Sect directly booked an entire floor of the inn. Everyone else could go out and eat, but Liu Ze couldn't. The food that Liu Ze ate was brought out from the Nether Ghost Sect and was specially prepared. He never ate outside food, not even drinking outside water. This way, the possibility of poisoning Liu Ze to death was eliminated.
Thanks to the two low-level cultivators of the Dark Ghost Sect, Zhao Hai now knew where Liu Ze lived. The two of them were originally guarding the door for Liu Ze. Naturally, they were very close to Liu Ze. With Flowing Silver Dust's range of ten thousand meters, Liu Ze's place was naturally seen by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai even saw Liu Ze.
However, when he saw Liu Ze, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel disappointed. This was because Liu Ze's appearance was really disappointing. Liu Ze had a sharp mouth and a thin body. Just looking at his appearance, it was really unfair to the audience.
However, Zhao Hai was certain that this person was Liu Ze. This was because there were two Teleportation Realm Cultivators by his side. The two of them were like bodyguards, one on the left and one on the right of Liu Ze. Liu Ze seemed to be used to this kind of treatment. He still looked calm and didn't look uncomfortable at all.
As for the second group of cultivators that went out, it was just as Zhao Hai thought. They were all people sent by various sects to take Liu Ze's life. After they found out that Liu Ze was staying in the hotel, they acted as if nothing had happened and left. They didn't know that they were being targeted. Zhao Hai didn't say anything.
The second group of cultivators had their own residences. One of them even stayed in the hotel where Zhao Hai was staying. This was somewhat unexpected to Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai didn't intend to leave. If he left at this time, it would be even more suspicious.
As for the third group of cultivators, they were really from the Nether Ghost Sect. They had been following the second group of cultivators. After knowing where the second group of cultivators were staying, they turned around and left.
These three groups of cultivators were acting like a spy movie. However, Zhao Hai also understood that the more they acted like this, the more difficult it would be for him to assassinate Liu Ze. However, Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry. He knew that a lot of things would go wrong if he was in a hurry. As long as he wasn't in a hurry, then he would succeed. If he was too anxious, then he would be in more danger.
After resting in the hotel for a night, Zhao Hai woke up early the next morning. After eating, he went to the market. There were more people there, and the things being sold were of higher quality. When Zhao Hai saw this, he immediately found a place in the market. Then he took out a piece of cloth and spread it on the ground. Then he took out a bunch of talismans and placed them on the ground. Then he sat there and didn't make any sound.
Inside the Trading Center, there were a lot of stalls like Zhao Hai. A lot of cultivators would make talismans or pills during the year and then rush to sell them on the day of the trading day. Although the price of these items wasn't high, they could still barter for things that they wanted. This was the most important thing for them.
Zhao Hai took out some low-level talismans, but they were all very well made. As soon as the talismans were released, a Cultivator immediately came to his stall. This Cultivator was wearing a grey robe and had a weathered face. At a glance, one could tell that he was a Rogue Cultivator.
When he saw the talismans on Zhao Hai's stall, his eyes couldn't help but shine. These Rogue Cultivators might not have high cultivation, but their eyes were very sharp. With a glance, he could see that Zhao Hai's talismans were good stuff.
The Rogue Cultivator looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Friend, how much do you want to sell these talismans?"
Zhao Hai replied, "These talismans can't be sold for money. I only need materials. If you have these materials, then you can exchange them with me. If you don't have these materials, then you can take other things. However, they must be rare, or something you haven't seen before. I personally like to study these things." While speaking, Zhao Hai took out a piece of animal skin with the names of some materials written on it.
This was Zhao Hai's purpose. While carrying out his mission, he would also collect some things from the underground world. This way, he wouldn't arouse suspicion, and he might even find some treasures. Even if he didn't get anything, then he wouldn't suffer any losses. The talismans that he took out could be printed in the Space.
The Cultivator looked at the animal skin that Zhao Hai took out. When he saw the materials written on it, he couldn't help but nod. These materials weren't difficult to obtain, and the price was reasonable for ten people. However, he wasn't prepared to use these materials to exchange for Zhao Hai's talismans. He turned his hand and took out something. Then he handed it to Zhao Hai and said, "Take a look at this. I haven't seen this before, I don't know if it can be exchanged for your talismans."
