"This ain't good!"
Qin Nan's expression changed slightly. The talisman was too sudden. Not only him, even Princess Miaomiao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast could not react in time.
He immediately executed the Blazing Sun Golden Armor Body Technique, causing his body to be engulfed in flames. However, the three black lines on his forehead showed no sign of change.
After seeing this, he immediately executed his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit and locked onto his forehead. However, he discovered that the three black lines had no effect on his body. Instead, they contained a magical force that would not dissipate no matter how hard he tried.
"This is … three black lines!" Houzi blurted out after seeing this, "You have three black lines, I'm not doing business with you!"
Without hesitation, his figure flashed as he prepared to flee the scene.
"Hold it right there!"
Qin Nan immediately directed his Divine Sense into Houzi's mind, causing his figure to stiffen as he stood there with a blank expression. His face was filled with panic as he said, "Seniors, I've never offended you, please don't attack me. By the way, you are not allowed to use violence in Jianghuang City …"
Qin Nan said with an expressionless face, "Tell me, what are the three black lines?"
"You don't know what the three black lines are?" Houzi stared with his eyes open wide, but after seeing the astounded expressions on the faces of Princess Miaomiao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Trading Alliance has created a special black line to target those with bad reputations. Once it is inserted into the forehead, it will not dissipate no matter how hard you try. The black lines are classified into one, two, or three lines. If it's three lines, it refers to robbing, cheating, and disguising. "
Houzi paused for a moment before he continued, "The Trading Alliance is known to be a fair force. If you are marked with three black lines, you will be despised by all cultivators, and no one will be willing to trade with you. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself …"
Qin Nan and his crew instinctively glanced toward the main street of Jianghuang City.
The lively vendors' expressions changed instantly after seeing the three black lines on Qin Nan's forehead. The passion in their eyes was replaced with coldness.
The people who sold these treasures hated the most were people with three black marks!
Qin Nan's face was livid.
The Trading Alliance was fair and just?
He had failed to sell the secrets of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion to the mysterious white-shirted lady, and she was willing to do such a thing.
Was this forcing him to hand over the secret?
Qin Nan took a deep breath and calmly said, "I'll give you two Arcane Realm Stones."
After saying this, he flicked two Arcane Realm Stones into Houzi's hands.
"This …" Houzi was stunned. His initial plan was to flee for his life, but these two Arcane Realm Stones were equivalent to a few days' worth of income, which could help him to break through his bottleneck. He then clenched his teeth and said, "If that's the case, I'll accept the deal. However, three seniors, I have to tell you that since you have three black marks on your forehead, you won't be able to participate in the Ancient Dragon Auction. You also won't be able to participate in the selection of the two Holy Lands' disciples! "
"What?"
Qin Nan almost thought that he had heard it wrong.
Houzi said in a serious tone, "The Trading Alliance will only give you the three black marks if you have committed a grave mistake. The two Holy Lands will never recruit you. Besides, with the three black marks, you will have a hard time moving around Jianghuang City … If senior regrets now, I can return these two Arcane Realm Stones to you. "
"That won't be necessary!"
Qin Nan's expression changed, as his eyes flickered coldly.
What a mysterious white-shirted lady, what a Trading Alliance, to do such a thing to him just to obtain his secrets. Did they really think that he was a pushover?
Princess Miaomiao was present during the trip to the Martial Serendipity Pavilion. Her face turned cold after hearing the words, "The Trading Alliance is too much. Bring us to the Ancient Dragon Auction at once and rob them all!"
"That's right, rob them all!"
The Longhu Ancestor Beast uttered a clamor.
With the support of the Imperial Exterminator and the three Peak Leaders, there was no need for them to be afraid of robbing the Trading Alliance!
Houzi's face was filled with terror as he waved his hand and said, "Seniors, please don't do that. Every year when the Ancient Dragon Auction is held, there will be a Martial Highness guarding the place. Besides, you are not allowed to fight in Jianghuang City. Even the Peak Leaders are not allowed to do so … "
"Martial Highness?"
The Longhu Ancestor Beast was instantly intimidated.
"Humph!"
Princess Miaomiao's expression turned unpleasant too.
The influence of the Trading Alliance had completely exceeded their imagination. Even with the support of the Imperial Exterminator and the three Peak Leaders, they could not act recklessly.
Qin Nan withheld the anger in his chest and said, "Does that mean that I have to leave Jianghuang City now that I'm marked with the three black marks?"
"Normally, there is no point in staying in Jianghuang City …" Houzi clenched his teeth and said, "If you three seniors don't mind, you are welcome to stay at my place, but you will have to pay two Arcane Realm Stones a day!"
Normally, people like Houzi would accept guests to stay at his place, but the price was one Arcane Realm Stone every ten days.
"Sure!"
Qin Nan nodded his head with an expressionless face. Although he was reluctant to pay the Arcane Realm Stones, he was still unfamiliar with the current situation of Jianghuang City, thus he could not act recklessly. Once he learned the rules of the Trading Alliance and Jianghuang City, he would not forgive the mysterious white-shirted lady and the Trading Alliance for bullying him!
"Seniors, please follow me!"
Houzi led Qin Nan and the others away from the place and arrived at an ordinary residence in a secluded area of Jianghuang City.
As soon as they entered the residence, Qin Nan immediately said, "Princess Miaomiao, Longhu Ancestor Beast, the Ancient Dragon Auction of the Trading Alliance will be held in ten days. I won't be able to enter the place, but you can go ahead and learn more about it."
"Sure!"
Princess Miaomiao and the Longhu Ancestor Beast nodded their heads. The Trading Alliance was too shameless. It would be too humiliating if they were to leave without paying.
Houzi stared at them with a blank expression.
Didn't they say that the Trading Alliance had a Martial Highness?
Could it be that these three were still planning to get their revenge under such circumstances?
Houzi took a deep breath, as his heart was filled with a hint of regret.
At that instant, a sudden thought was transmitted into Qin Nan's mind from a distance away, with a pleasant voice, "Friend Qin Nan, I didn't expect you to come to Jianghuang City after just a few months. I believe you should know about the three black lines by now. Why don't you come to the number one booth of the Qingxin Inn for a chat? "
"Hmm?"
Qin Nan raised his eyebrows.
He was quite familiar with the voice, as it belonged to the mysterious white-shirted lady at the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
Now that the Trading Alliance had marked him with three black lines, he had yet to take the initiative to look for her, but she had already approached him?
"Sure, I'll go and see what you're trying to do!"
Qin Nan mumbled to himself, before he immediately said to Houzi, "Come, bring me to the Qingxin Inn!"
