Rather, it was because Jiang Ning and Lin Wanqing had stayed in the city before the competition was officially opened to the public.

If he fails to provide a detailed explanation, it could lead to unforeseen consequences.

Because of his peculiar luck level, Jiang Ning really hates, really hates, unexpected situations that don't go according to plan.

"The Emerald Realm will last for a total of one year."

"At that time, the large teleportation arrays of all major cultivation cities will be activated to transport cultivators to participate in the open competition."

"Therefore, after the Emerald Realm ended, we stayed temporarily in Canglan Immortal City."

"We'll head to Lingxi Immortal City in the center of Zhongzhou when the grand competition is closer..."

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing withdrew her gaze from all around.

She frowned slightly, looked at Jiang Ning with some hesitation, and hesitated to speak.

In fact, Lin Wanqing herself did not want to participate in the public competition.

After discovering the true nature of the Ten Great Sects, she was unwilling to join any of their factions.

However, Lin Wanqing didn't know how to tell Jiang Ning...

Rather than joining one of the ten major sects, she actually preferred to continue wandering with Jiang Ning.

However, while Jiang Ning was talking to Lin Wanqing, he had already turned into a side alley.

Walking through the increasingly chaotic alley, the two gradually drifted away from the previous hustle and bustle.

At this moment, Lin Wanqing had already followed Jiang Ning to the gathering place of the rogue cultivators.

The chaotic and mixed environment made Lin Wanqing swallow back the words she was about to say.

Lin Wanqing followed Jiang Ning, turning left and right, gradually venturing deeper into this area where independent cultivators gathered.

As the surrounding environment deteriorated, Lin Wanqing's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Before long, Jiang Ning led her to a place shrouded in an array.

Then he took out a few low-grade spirit stones and handed them to the Qi Refining stage cultivator who was guarding the formation outside.

"What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

"He spares no expense to relieve people's worries, and goes without revealing his name."

"Why do fellow Taoists say this?"

"It's rare to find a moment of joy on the path to immortality, so let's seize the day and enjoy ourselves."

“Excellent, fellow Daoist’s words are truly wonderful.”

Perhaps it was because Jiang Ning and Lin Wanqing both displayed the strength of the high-level Qi Refining stage.

It's also possible that Jiang Ning was able to match the "secret code" so smoothly.

The Qi Refining stage cultivators guarding the formation did not cause any trouble.

Instead, he revealed a lewd smile, slowly approached Jiang Ning, and whispered:

"Fellow Daoists, the crackdown has been strict lately, and we will be moving to a different location soon."

Jiang Ning, with the same sly smile of a familiar customer, replied:

"Yes, yes."

"Alright, please, both of you."

"You're busy."

Jiang Ning led Lin Wanqing into the formation.

However, this place is no different from the outside world.

Before Lin Wanqing could ask any questions, Jiang Ning walked into another alley.

"Jiangning..."

After struggling with the question for a long time, Lin Wanqing finally couldn't help but ask it.

"You're not really going to buy... slaves, are you?"

Fortunately, Jiang Ning didn't nod, but instead smiled and said:

"Fairy Lin, don't overthink it."

I'm just taking you to see what's going on.

By the way, I'd like to take this opportunity to see an old friend.

Lin Wanqing breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But then, Jiang Ning smiled and teased:

"Besides, no matter how beautiful those female slaves are, how can they compare to Fairy Lin by my side?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's lips curled slightly, and she was about to say, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

But soon, Lin Wanqing realized what was happening and glared at Jiang Ning with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

"Jiang Ning, who are you calling..."

"Shhh."

Jiang Ning held up one finger, pointed forward, and laughed:

"We've arrived."

Lin Wanqing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Then he looked in the direction Jiang Ning pointed.

In an instant, Lin Wanqing froze on the spot, her eyes filled with shock and anger.

Not far ahead of them was a street that was isolated by various small formations.

On both sides of the street, there was a blurry expanse of white stalls.

However, the formation only blocked the view, but deliberately did not block the movement inside.

This resulted in the street being filled with sounds that would make anyone blush.

"No... please let me go..."

"Please, Immortal Master, have mercy and let me go home..."

"Immortal Master, please spare my child..."

"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts so much..."

"You dare call yourselves immortal masters...you beasts..."

"Woooooooo..."

"You idiot! What are you crying for!"

"It's your honor to be played by this immortal master!"

"A mere mortal female slave, how dare she spoil this immortal master's fun?!"

"Clap clap-"

Various sounds came from each stall.

Lin Wanqing blushed as she listened, and a surge of anger rose within her.

The cries of those mortal women who were wantonly violated and abused by cultivators.

It was like a heavy hammer, striking Lin Wanqing's heart.

Having never witnessed the darkness of the cultivation world firsthand, she was utterly enraged at this moment!

"Those damn bastards!"

Lin Wanqing trembled with anger, her delicate fists clenched tightly.

She is only 29 years old, but she still retains a strong sense of morality.

In other words, Lin Wanqing's passion had not cooled.

She couldn't suppress her conscience and ignore the tragic scene before her.

At this moment, a powerful aura surged from Lin Wanqing, with countless talismans swirling around her.

"They even abuse children under ten years old, are they even human?!"

However, just as Lin Wanqing was about to retaliate in anger...

Jiang Ning, however, placed his hand on her shoulder, easily suppressing the magical power within her body.

"Fairy Lin, why stir up trouble?"

“This is a ‘legal project’ in Canglan Immortal City, and none of the five major immortal sects care about it.”

"So, how about we remain bystanders for now?"

Lin Wanqing turned her head angrily and glared at Jiang Ning's calm face.

"Jiang Ning, you..."

Jiang Ning said nothing more, but simply looked at her calmly.

The two remained locked in a stalemate for a long time.

Lin Wanqing finally suppressed her anger and put away the talismans around her.

But in those beautiful eyes, where the passion had not yet cooled, there was a suppressed intense anger.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly and led Lin Wanqing toward the stall in front.

But just as he took a step, he paused for a moment.

Jiang Ning looked down and saw Lin Wanqing grabbing his sleeve.

"Jiangning."

Lin Wanqing looked at him with complicated emotions, her delicate fists clenched tightly.
