Chapter 3747: Sneak attack on the road

Translator: 549690339

As the old manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce for decades, Hong Zhongs grasp of the human heart could only be described with one word: shrewd.

Alright, then Ill have to trouble you when the time comes. Lin Yi nodded and turned to leave.

Lin Yi knew very well why Hong Zhong was so attentive to him. To put it bluntly, the two high quality foundation breakthrough pills had raised doubts in Lin Yis mind, and hed come up with all kinds of mysterious conjectures, trying to win him over to create more profits for them.

This was something that every merchant with foresight would do. It was just that shopkeeper Jin was more experienced and outstanding in his work, and he made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.

Lin Yi didnt dislike this kind of thing. In fact, he was new to Tianjie Island and needed business partners like this.

After all, out of the four major things that cultivators valued the most, wealth was the first. Only with strong financial resources could one ensure a steady stream of various natural treasures, continuously and quickly upgrade, until they reached the top of the cultivation world.

The wealth he was referring to was naturally not the kind of wealth in the secular world, but the hard currency that could dominate the cultivation world, such as spiritual Jade.

Lin Yi could now steal two or three pieces of spirit Jade from the spirit Jade Kuangqu every day, and sometimes he could even use Meng Tongs group to exchange good Jade for a little more, but it was all just a small business, far from the level of wealth.

And if he really wanted money to bring out its full potential, then he had to make it big. It was unavoidable, and Lin Yi needed to find a reliable business partner to fully utilize his hidden cards and strengths, paving the way for his future development.

From their short interaction just now, Hong Zhong, the old manager of the Hong Chamber of Commerce, definitely had the ability to become his business partner. If they could really work closely together, with Lin Yis trump cards and Hong Zhongs shrewd business skills, it wouldnt be hard for him to make a big name for himself in the future.

Of course, time would tell. This was a matter of future, and Lin Yi had to look into it.

Unless he could truly understand each others background, he would not easily treat anyone as a business partner. At most, they would use each other. After all, this was a matter of life and death, so he could not be too careful.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi didnt rush back to the Ying Xin Pavilion, but walked around the inner street for a while.

After all, there was only one opening day in a month for the inner street. He had to take advantage of this rare opportunity to familiarize himself with it. Even if he didnt buy some things for the time being, he had to have a concept in his heart. If he needed to use them in the future, he would have a target in mind and not waste his efforts everywhere like a headless fly.

Lin Yi left the market after he was done with the inner street, ready to head back to the pavilion when the Jade alerted him of a fatal attack.

An extremely sharp sword Qi came from an extremely tricky angle, aiming for Lin Yis back from a hundred feet away. It was so fast that no one could defend against it.

With the help of his lightning-chasing Gale boots, Lin Yi pushed his b.u.t.terfly steps to the max and twisted his body, barely dodging the fatal blow. Even so, he still felt a lingering fear.

This Qi wasnt dazzling at all-it looked ordinary, and even the Qi of a Sky Cla.s.s could be a hundred times stronger than this. However, the power of the two couldnt be compared at all.

If the sword Qi of Sky Cla.s.s Masters was one, Lin Yi wouldnt care about it at all, but this one was at least eight hundred, or even a thousand. If Lin Yi didnt Dodge it in time, hed be dead.

If it wasnt for the Jade, he wouldve been in h.e.l.l by now.

Even if Lin Yi wanted to heal, he needed time. Wouldnt the enemy take the chance to stab him again?

Heh, a mere gra.s.sroots rogue cultivator actually dodged my deadly continuous sword 22 forms, not bad! A familiar figure slowly walked out from the tree trunk beside the road. It was Yu Zhe, who had competed for the star inkstone at the Hong Chamber of Commerce.

As expected, it was this guy!

Lin Yi had expected this-the guy had already revealed his killing intent back at the Hong Chamber of Commerce, but he didnt dare to do it at that time.

After leaving the Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yi made two rounds around the inner street. His main purpose was to find out where this guy was, because he knew that this guy would definitely follow him.

The result, however, was unexpected-he circled the inner street twice, but still couldnt find any trace of the guy with his senses. He gave up helplessly and left the market.

In fact, itd been a whole incenses time since theyd left the market, and even with Lin Yis cautiousness, he couldnt help but wonder if the guy had given up.

Therefore, a moment of carelessness would lead to danger.

Lin Yis face was calm, but his heart was full of relief. If it wasnt for the Jade, he wouldve been killed!

This guy clearly knew that he was at the peak of the early stage of the foundation building realm, but with his strength as a master of the middle stage of the foundation building realm, he followed him for so long before making a move. Moreover, he didnt care about his dignity at all, choosing to make a sneak attack that no one could avoid.

Whether it was his patience or caution, it had clearly shown that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person. He was completely different from the superficial performance he had at the Hong Chamber of Commerce!

Lin Yis heart tightened as he looked at the confidence in Yu Zhes face. This guy had been acting since the Hong Chamber of Commerce. The superficial look he put on was all an act to numb Lin Yi and make him think that this guy was nothing!

This fellow was far more powerful and cunning than Meng jueguang!

This was an out-and-out strong enemy!

Lin Yis face didnt change, but his heart was on high alert.

Hed been on Sky Cla.s.s Island for over a month, and hed seen many strong people-hed even personally experienced the power of an elder, who were far stronger than this man.

However, at the end of the day, these people werent his true enemies-theyd never shown their killing intent so openly before. Even if it was Xu lingchong or Meng jueguang, his enemies, theyd have to think hard and find a suitable opportunity to kill him, unlike this person who didnt even say anything and just killed him right away.

It seemed that the thousand thread mask had its advantages and disadvantages!
