"This guy is from the Haicheng Mercenary Group."

Liu Zhaodi led Jiang Yuan to a person wearing a hood. As Jiang Yuan approached, the person began to whine.

"He was dishonest before, leaking buyer information to the Bloodline Mercenary Group in Haicheng." Liu Zhaodi kicked the person in front of her, who cried out in pain.

"The Bloodline Mercenary Group?"

Jiang Yuan had some understanding of Haicheng. Because Haicheng was close to the sea, it was obviously impossible to maintain the safety of the safe zone by sealing off the city. Therefore, Haicheng used mercenaries to replace the city lord's guards, making Haicheng more vibrant by using the whole population as soldiers. Of course, this was only limited to Haicheng, because Haicheng was rich in resources. Even ordinary people could catch small fish and shrimp to cultivate, unlike the predicament of millions of ordinary people in the mainland who could not cultivate.

"What was the price we agreed on before?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Liu Zhaodi guessed that Jiang Yuan was going to let him go, and could only say dejectedly, "Fourteen thousand top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals."

Jiang Yuan indeed took out 14,000 top-grade Holy Spirit Crystals from his storage ring, then removed the man's hood and the gag from his mouth. He held the storage ring in his hand and played with it, saying, "Brother, you should know what happens when you break the rules!"

"Brother, spare my life!" The still-bound man cried and kowtowed repeatedly.

“Although you broke the rules, these are the auspicious days for my wife’s business opening, and I don’t want to have blood on my hands and ruin the omen. So, as long as the transaction proceeds as planned, we will let you go!” Jiang Yuan restrained some of his killing intent. With the Heavenly Eye about to reappear, he didn’t want to cause any trouble.

"Are you serious?" The man was clearly not convinced. He had been captured before, and he had been prepared to be killed.

"Nonsense, just do as I tell you!" Liu Zhaodi kicked him, showing no mercy to this kind of person.

"Zhao Di, you can go out now!"

Jiang Yuan stopped Liu Zhaodi, who had just broken through to the Profound God Realm and posed no threat to him.

"Are you sure you can do it? Should I cripple his cultivation, and then..." Liu Zhaodi's gaze grew increasingly dangerous.

"No, no, no, I've prepared the skill stripper, I'll definitely cooperate with you!" the man pleaded.

"Behave yourself, or I won't mind another floating corpse on the beach!"

Before leaving, Liu Zhaodi kicked the man, which surprised Jiang Yuan. He had always thought Liu Zhaodi was generous and poised, and he never expected her to be so ruthless in some ways.

After Liu Zhaodi left, Jiang Yuan placed the storage ring containing the top-grade Holy Spirit Crystal on the ground and said, "Cooperate well, or you know what will happen!"

This time, the man didn't dare to resist and obediently let the other party take back the insight. However, he was still a little surprised after the insight disappeared because he didn't see what method the other party used to remove the insight.

Once his perception returned, Jiang Yuan used a sword aura to cut the ropes binding the man. The sword aura then disappeared along with the broken ropes. Only then did he say, "Go back and tell the people behind you not to mess with me, or the consequences will be more than they can bear!"

"Give me your name if you dare!" the man threatened after being released.

"Aoki!" Jiang Yuan still used an alias.

See you at the black market tonight!

The man hurriedly left, fearing that Jiang Yuan might change his mind and not let him go.

After the man left, Liu Zhaodi came in, looking rather unhappy. She had originally wanted to kill the bastard who had leaked the buyer's information, but Jiang Yuan had let him go.

Jiang Yuan noticed that Liu Zhaodi's mood was off, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"You're too kind. You should have just killed that bastard." Liu Zhaodi was still a little annoyed.

“Killing him won’t change the fact that the power behind him will still exist! But keeping him alive will be of great use!”

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he took out a strangely shaped insect.

"What is this?" Liu Zhaodi's eyes were immediately drawn to the large, fleshy worm.

Jiang Yuan propped the worm up, and it slowly recovered from its listless state. Finally, Jiang Yuan channeled a wisp of sword energy into the worm's body, and the large, fleshy worm then carried a tortoise shell with mysterious patterns on its back, finally curling into a ball.

Liu Zhaodi was puzzled by the insect's amazing behavior, but fortunately Jiang Yuan explained it after the insect finished performing these actions.

"This is a spoil of war I seized in Dongcheng last time. It's called Tortoise Shell Immortal. It can use mysterious causal and fortune-telling techniques to predict the unknown." Jiang Yuan was still unsure about Tortoise Shell Immortal's abilities because it had already backfired when he got it from Fu Tian last time, and he hadn't had a chance to let it demonstrate its power.

"Can it predict marriage prospects?" Liu Zhaodi's eyes lit up when she heard that it could predict the unknown.

Whose marriage compatibility do you want to predict?

Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Zhaodi with suspicion.

Liu Zhaodi winked playfully, then said frankly, "Of course it's myself. I want to see when I'm going to get married and have children. What if some jerk makes me wait too long? I'll have a backup plan. I can't let myself become an old maid!"

"Hehe!" Jiang Yuan chuckled dryly. He knew without even thinking who Liu Zhaodi was targeting with those words.

However, at this moment, the Tortoise Shell Immortal suddenly stirred. The sword energy that Jiang Yuan had previously sent in reappeared, and it also brought back a name and detailed life patterns.

"Done, that guy should have met the person behind the scenes!"

A smug look appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips. He had been careful when releasing the other party, having the Tortoise Shell Immortal perform a karmic divination to obtain information about the mastermind behind the black market. Now, he was confident of victory.
