Chapter 1182: Sudden Complication, an Issue Arises!

“However, as strict as our moderation process is, things that have crossed many hands will definitely show evidence of all the contact. Feys and metal spiritual ingredients are still fine. However, things like fur and silk could become dirty or even damaged. If we don’t notice the damage in time and sell the goods, it’ll tarnish our reputation as merchants.”

The man was done explaining, so he went on to answer Lin Yuan’s question, “This is strong alcohol that comes from a nearby town in the Divine Wood Federation. You’re still young and shouldn’t be drinking things like this. If you become addicted, you’ll put your life in danger before you even throw away all your Great Lush dollars on this stuff.”

Lin Yuan scratched his head and replied, “Thank you for the advice. I don’t drink alcohol.”

After bidding goodbye to the man, Lin Yuan walked toward the other stalls.

The more Luo Ya gazed at his back, the more captivated she became.

She had done many wicked deeds.

If the man had dared to slap her hand, she would not have hesitated to order the Mist Reverse Poison Moth to kill him.

But as cruel as she was, she was not completely evil.

She did not possess Lin Yuan’s manners and bright personality, and these traits deeply attracted her.

Now, she was even more set on killing Fu Di and the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.

The problem was finding the right opportunity to do so.

After browsing about 20 stalls, Lin Yuan became bored as most of the stalls sold similar items. It would only be a waste of time to continue browsing.

A better use of this time would be to seek out the leader of the merchants.

Lin Yuan asked one of the stall owners, “Sir, can I ask where the person in charge of all the merchants here is? I have some business that I would like to discuss with him.”

He had not changed out of his spirit qi clothes. Although there were several large holes in his garment, the gems were proof of the spirit qi clothes’ value.

It was evident that Lin Yuan had the means to do business with the leader of the merchants.

The most fundamental quality that the merchants from the Great Lush Federation needed to have was a continuous stream of resources.

Hence, none of them would turn business away.

A stall owner cheerfully led Lin Yuan to the largest tent and said, “The manager of our Sincere Merchant Group is in this tent. His name is Mr. Feng. I saw several spirit qi professionals from the Iron Hammer Federation who also wanted to discuss business with Mr. Feng leaving, so there should only be Mr. Feng and his family left in the tent. You can go in and talk to him directly about any business you have in mind.”

Lin Yuan thanked the stall owner and strode into the large tent.

The doors were open, so Lin Yuan walked in.

Inside the tent sat an elderly man with a flat top and a middle-aged man, and they were going over account books together.

The middle-aged man also had a child that looked to be about two years old in his arms.

The child started cooing when he saw Lin Yuan and Luo Ya.

The elderly man studied Lin Yuan and Luo Ya for a moment before asking, “Do the two of you need something? If you want to discuss business, we will offer the utmost sincerity. However, we first have to ensure that you’re offering good quality goods.”

Before Lin Yuan could reply, sounds of a commotion could be heard outside the tent, and Lin Yuan heard people shouting, “What! Why did a subterranean dimensional rift open up all of a sudden? Damn! Go and see Mr. Feng and ask him what we should do!”

“There’s no point in asking Mr. Feng! This subterranean dimensional rift is huge, and it’s clear from its aura that it’s not only Class 1. We’re done for! There’s no way we’ll be able to survive the wave of subterranean lifeforms from a Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift!”

The elderly man known as Mr. Feng said to the man next to him, “Jiazhi, take good care of Bean. His safety comes first no matter what!”

Mr. Feng immediately charged out of the tent to check on the situation.

Luo Ya’s expression soured.

If what the people outside said was true that a Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift had opened nearby, not even using the Mist Reverse Poison Moth would allow her to escape.

In less than two minutes after the subterranean dimensional rift opened, a large number of subterranean lifeforms would emerge.

Many of the subterranean lifeforms from a Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift had wings, and some like the Fungus Bat and Stone Statue Monster had strong aerial fighting abilities.

Luo Ya turned to Lin Yuan and said, “If a Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift has really opened, the two of us will ride the Mist Reverse Poison Moth and escape to the Divine Wood Federation. Didn’t you say that a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift opened? Do you know its exact location? If we fly toward the wave of insects and lead the two groups of dimensional lifeforms to collide with each other, we might be able to escape with our lives.”

Lin Yuan was surprised to hear Luo Ya say this.

The Mist Reverse Poison Moth was only Gold grade, and the more burdens it was carrying, the slower it would be able to fly.

It would definitely be able to fly quicker with just Luo Ya on its back. Yet, Luo Ya had still chosen to bring Lin Yuan with her in spite of the life-and-death situation she was facing.

Before Lin Yuan could reply, louder noises of a scuffle came from outside the tent, and Luo Ya recognized some of the voices.

She cursed inwardly as she knew that it was due to Fu Di, who had lost control after hearing about the subterranean dimensional rift.

While Luo Ya racked her brain to come up with a plan to escape while ensuring that the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps took her secrets to their graves, Lin Yuan calmly said to the middle-aged man, “We can’t stay in this tent. Let’s go out and assess the situation.”

Before Lin Yuan could step out of the tent, it erupted into flames.

With a wave of her hand, Luo Ya summoned a two-meter long blue-winged dragonfly and ordered, “Cold Winged Wind Dragonfly, use Frigid Wind!”

The blue-winged dragonfly flapped its wings and kicked up a gust of wind so strong that it tore the burning tent apart.

After the tent was ripped apart, Luo Ya saw that Fu Di had ordered the members of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps to summon their feys and were currently facing off against both the merchants and their guards.
