Mor Wu Ji hadn't even reached the shore when his spiritual sense detected several villagers anxiously pacing in front of Yu Jingfeng's house, while Yu Sheng and Lian Yingxian were still not home.

According to Yu Jingfeng, Yu Sheng and Lian Yingxian's trip to Jize City would take a maximum of two days. Now it was the third day, and they should have returned. Coupled with the villagers' anxious pacing, Mo Wu Ji suspected something had happened.

He immediately consumed a Concealment Pill, slightly altering his appearance. Mo Wu Ji's appearance in this life was already similar to his previous life. As his cultivation level increased and his bones were restructured to advance to a Divine Body, his appearance became even closer to what it was on Earth.

As for his aura, Mo Wu Ji was originally a mortal, so not changing his aura was the greatest change he could make.

"Master, your appearance..." Yu Jingfeng noticed that Mo Wu Ji's appearance had become much rougher, resembling a fisherman who spent years at sea.

"It's common for cultivators to change their appearance. I've offended many people, so I'm changing my appearance to avoid being hunted down," Mo Wu Ji explained.

Even though Mo Wu Ji believed that neither the Thunder Sect nor the Great Sword Sect would pursue him to Yongying Immortal Domain, he still took precautions.

Each time he was severely injured, it was also a time of growth. The restructuring of bones and flesh to advance to a Divine Body was not only a physical rebirth for Mo Wu Ji, but also a rebirth in experience.

"Jingfeng, I suspect something has happened to your grandfather and sister-in-law. Remember, no matter what happens, don't panic. The most important thing for a cultivator is to remain calm." At this moment, the fishing boat had reached the shore. As Yu Jingfeng dropped anchor to secure the boat, Mo Wu Ji patted his shoulder and comforted him.

Mo Wu Ji spoke from personal experience. After entering the cultivation world, he constantly reminded himself to remain calm. In fact, his calmness had helped him escape several calamities. The last time he almost perished outside Dayi Immortal City was because he wasn't calm enough. If he had been calm enough, he should have stopped when he sensed something was amiss and not continued to Dayi Immortal City.

He always believed that no one would discover his disguise, but someone did. This showed that nothing in this world is absolute. Before doing anything, one must prepare for the worst.

"Ah..." Yu Jingfeng exclaimed in surprise, "Master, what could have happened to my grandfather and sister-in-law?"

"Let's go back and talk. Also, in front of others, call me Brother Dahuang. You can call me Master when no one else is around," Mo Wu Ji instructed.

"Jingfeng!" Before Yu Jingfeng could respond, someone was already calling his name from the beach. A dark-skinned, muscular young man jogged over.

Yu Jingfeng quickly responded, "What is it, Brother Jucai?"

The muscular young man glanced at Mo Wu Ji before anxiously saying, "Jingfeng, something has happened to your grandfather and sister-in-law..."

Yu Jingfeng was stunned and began to panic. His master had said something might happen, and it actually did? He subconsciously looked at Mo Wu Ji, then realized that his master was an immortal master and knowing in advance was not surprising. Thinking of his master as an immortal master, Yu Jingfeng's panicked mood finally improved.

"Brother Jucai, what exactly happened?" Remembering Mo Wu Ji's teachings, Yu Jingfeng suppressed his panic and forced himself to ask calmly.

The young man named Jucai was somewhat puzzled by Yu Jingfeng's calmness. He paused slightly before hurriedly saying, "Your grandfather and sister-in-law offended the Yihai Chamber of Commerce in Jize City and were detained by them."

Hearing that his grandfather and sister-in-law had been detained by the Yihai Chamber of Commerce, Yu Jingfeng could no longer maintain his composure and his face showed panic.

Before he could ask Mo Wu Ji for help, several other people ran over, urgently saying, "Jingfeng, you must go to Jize City and see what's happening. Your grandfather and sister-in-law have been detained by the Yihai Chamber of Commerce."

"Brother Dahuang..." Forced to remain calm, Yu Jingfeng had completely lost his composure and looked at Mo Wu Ji pleadingly. If it was just a small matter with his grandfather and sister-in-law, it wouldn't matter. But the Yihai Chamber of Commerce was the largest chamber of commerce in Jize City, rumored to be connected to immortals, with even the chamber master and deacons being immortals. Being detained by such a chamber was likely a hopeless situation.

"Jingfeng, who is he?" A middle-aged woman noticed Mo Wu Ji and asked in confusion.

Yu Jingfeng was only thinking about his grandfather and sister-in-law and didn't hear her. Mo Wu Ji took the initiative to answer, "I'm from Qingze Village. After the incident in Qingze Village, only Yingxian and I escaped. I have nowhere else to go, so I'm staying at Jingfeng's house."

"Oh, I see." The people around him understood.

Everyone knew about the incident in Qingze Village, and the people of Xianqi Village also knew that Lian Yingxian had narrowly escaped death. Lian Yingxian was Yu Jingfeng's sister-in-law and usually didn't come out, so they naturally didn't know if one or two people had escaped from Qingze Village.

"Everyone, go back first. Jingfeng and I will go to Jize City and see what's going on," Mo Wu Ji said, seeing that Yu Jingfeng didn't know what to do.

Yu Jingfeng remembered Mo Wu Ji's earlier teachings, and the panic on his face lessened. He was also somewhat uneasy, wondering if his master would be disappointed in him because of his panic. But he was indeed anxious. If he lost his grandfather and sister-in-law, what was the point of him cultivating immortality alone?

"Yes, Brother Dahuang and I will go and see. Brother Jucai, Uncle Kui, Aunt Ping, go back first. Surely nothing serious has happened," Yu Jingfeng tried hard to calm himself down, but his voice still trembled.

The people who had come could only sigh, as they couldn't help either. The Yihai Chamber of Commerce was too powerful for them to plead with. They had heard that people taken away by the Yihai Chamber of Commerce had a very low chance of survival.

"By the way, does anyone know why the Yihai Chamber of Commerce detained them?" Mo Wu Ji asked again.

He was wondering why Lian Yingxian, a Late-Stage Grand Luo Immortal who was stronger than him, would be detained by a small chamber of commerce. Even though Mo Wu Ji hadn't been to Jize City, he knew that the city couldn't have high-level cultivators.

The muscular young man named Jucai who had arrived first said, "They said Yingxian took something from the chamber of commerce. I don't know what it was."

Mo Wu Ji's heart sank. Thinking that Lian Yingxian was a Grand Luo Immortal, he suspected that the item was the one Duo Sheng had brought back. If it was that item, then things would be troublesome. If even Lian Yingxian, a Late-Stage Grand Luo Immortal, couldn't handle it, then a powerhouse at least at the Immortal King level must have come. He had already offended several Grand Immortal Emperors and had just stabilized himself. If he provoked another powerhouse, he would likely be exposed again soon.

This place had a cultivation site and no one to disturb him, making it the perfect place for Mo Wu Ji to improve his cultivation. He really didn't want to run away again and didn't want to expose his identity casually.

"Brother Dahuang..." Yu Jingfeng could only look at Mo Wu Ji.

Mo Wu Ji tried to keep his voice calm, "Let's go to Jize City and see what's happening. Whether it's good or bad, we have to go. Also, no matter what happens, don't panic. This is the second time I'm reminding you, and it will be the last."

"Yes..." Yu Jingfeng quickly lowered his head.

Mo Wu Ji's spiritual sense swept towards Jize City. Such an ordinary mortal city actually had a protective formation that shielded spiritual sense.

Although Mo Wu Ji's spiritual sense could forcefully break through the formation, he didn't want to do so. Using spiritual sense to break through the formation and peer inside would alert the cultivators controlling the formation immediately. He was someone who couldn't be seen in the light. Once exposed, countless ruthless people would come to surround and kill him.

...

The distance from Jize City to the coast of Jize Sea wasn't very far. If one took a beast-drawn carriage, it would only take ordinary mortals about half a day.

Mo Wu Ji took Yu Jingfeng with him, naturally not taking half a day. After leaving Xianqi Village, he directly used a spatial shift and landed outside Jize City.

"Master..." Yu Jingfeng saw the Jize City in front of him and exclaimed in shock.

Just a few breaths ago, he and his master were still in Xianqi Village. A few breaths later, he and his master were standing outside Jize City.

"This will be a simple thing for you in the future," Mo Wu Ji said.

Yu Jingfeng took a deep breath, clenching both fists. If he didn't have any concept of cultivation before, now he definitely wanted to cultivate immortality, definitely.

The city walls of Jize City were all piled up with huge black stones. The three somewhat mottled characters 'Jize City' outside the city walls showed that the city had a long history.

In fact, Mo Wu Ji knew that the history of Jize City was only just beginning compared to those immortal cities. The reason it looked so mottled was because Jize City had no protective formations other than the concealment formation, nor did it have any immortal spiritual veins.

Given a few hundred years, wind and rain could weather everything.

What surprised Mo Wu Ji was that there were actually two guards at the entrance of Jize City. These two guards were clearly only watching the city gate and didn't charge any entrance fees.

Even though this was just an ordinary mortal city, Mo Wu Ji didn't use his spiritual sense. The fact that there was a formation that shielded spiritual sense here meant that there were immortals. He had long-term plans and wouldn't expose himself because of a small matter.

Without using spiritual sense, the cultivation levels of some low-level immortals were still obvious to Mo Wu Ji. The strongest cultivator here was only a Late-Stage Heavenly Immortal, and he couldn't even see any Golden Immortals. Most of them were ordinary mortals, and some were ordinary cultivators whose cultivation was below the True God Realm.

Mo Wu Ji originally planned to ask someone for directions to the Yihai Chamber of Commerce, but after entering Jize City, he knew he didn't need to.

The four huge characters of the Yihai Chamber of Commerce could be seen clearly even from more than ten miles away.

These characters standing in the air showed the power of the Yihai Chamber of Commerce in Jize City. It was estimated that even the city lord's mansion wasn't as powerful as the Yihai Chamber of Commerce.
